As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 20, 2009 by Alfacell Corporation (the “Company”), the Company completed a sale of its securities in a private placement (the “Offering”) on October 19, 2009. The Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 (the “2009 Form 10-K”) without unreasonable effort or expense because, among other things, the negotiations process related to the Offering diverted significant staff resources and time from the Company’s normal process of reviewing and completing the 2009 Form 10-K. Additionally, the Company has not completed its audit for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 as it did not have sufficient resources to engage its auditors to complete the audit process until the closing of the Offering.  The Company is currently in the process of receiving and reviewing certain financial and other information necessary to finalize the 2009 Form 10-K and the consolidated financial statements included therein. The Company and its outside advisors, including its independent accountants, are working to complete the 2009 Form 10-K as expeditiously as possible. The Company expects to file the 2009 Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
