2. What is DMF? Is there an approval certificate for DMF archiving? Has ACROBiosystems applied for the DMF filing of its products with FDA? What are the products submitted for DMF filing?

(1) DMF is the abbreviation of "Drug Master File". It is a complete set of documents including product chemistry, production and controls (CMC) information. The contents include general product information, and the information and data on manufacturing process, impurity research, stability, etc. It also includes core secrets related to the product, such as detailed process description, critical process parameters, complete material information, etc. There are two states of DMF: "A" = Active state, which indicates that the DMF has been assigned with a filing number/registration number/record number and is normally maintained and available. "I" = Inactive state, indicating that the DMF has been closed by the holder or FDA and is unavailable.

(2) Currently, there is no certificate but it will be published on the FDA website and accessible to all.
