Any other information on results incl. tables

For the HPLC chromatogram, LC/MS and GPC analysis data the existance of the transformed products could not confirmed. The results indicate there is little possibility of the existence of the transformed product or the transformed product can not be detected by these analysis as below the limit of detection.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
