COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS
INVESTING STRATEGY).  IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:


Predominantly operating in the US and headquartered in Pennsylvania, RPS is a provider of integrated clinical
development outsourcing solutions to the bio-pharmaceutical industry. RPS services are provided in connection with the
design, initiation and management of clinical trials programs, a critical element in obtaining regulatory approval for
bio-pharmaceutical products. RPS introduced the Pharmaceutical Resource Organization ("PRO") model to address the
changing demands of the drug development industry, which continues to grow rapidly but is facing increasing pressures
to control costs and improve effectiveness. The PRO model combines the capabilities of a specialty staffing
organization with the expertise of a clinical research organization ("CRO"), enabling RPS to offer a model that is
gaining traction in the market. The success of its PRO model, which combines its newly introduced Clinical Master
Service Provider ("CMSP") program with more traditional CRO and specialty staffing related services, has resulted in
RPS' net revenues growing from $12.6 million in 2000 to approximately $84.4 million for 2006.



RPS provides a broad range of clinical development services to its clients to support the design, initiation and
management of clients' clinical trials programs, each of which are critical aspects in the regulatory approval process
for bio-pharmaceutical products. The Directors and the Proposed Directors believe that a key differentiator is RPS'
ability to deliver these services in a manner that is fully integrated with the client's infrastructure. The PRO model
contrasts with that of a traditional CRO, which focuses on performing individual clinical trials on behalf of its
client by mirroring the pharmaceutical company's infrastructure with limited interface with the client until the final
deliverable is achieved. The Directors and the Proposed Directors believe that RPS' PRO model more effectively utilizes
the existing resources, processes and systems of its clients, while enhancing real-time communication and coordination
with clients, avoiding duplicative infrastructure costs. In addition, the Directors and the Proposed Directors believe
that RPS' recruiting and staffing capabilities combined with the clinical infrastructure represent a competitive
advantage in attracting and retaining the high quality personnel required to successfully execute the PRO model and
compete with CROs.



RPS attempts to develop strong strategic relationships with its clients at the senior levels of an organization and
then designs customized outsourcing solutions that "carve-out" key functional areas of the client's clinical
development infrastructure to be outsourced to RPS. The PRO solution emphasizes close integration with the client so
that the client can selectively outsource those areas in which the greatest savings can be realized while permitting
the client to maintain control of the key medical and regulatory decision-making processes. The result is what is often
called a "functional" or "cross-functional" outsourcing model, which embeds RPS within the client's infrastructure,
creating a strategic and interdependent relationship.



RPS delivers its services through three service models:



Clinical Master Services Provider: This is a long-term strategic relationship developed with senior management within a
client's clinical, financial and procurement departments that generally involves a partial or full "carve-out" of
functional areas of the client's development efforts.



Project Solutions: The deployment of the traditional CRO approach in which RPS has full project-management
responsibility for a discrete project of finite length. Under this approach RPS is responsible for an entire trial or
specific aspects of a trial for a particular compound.



Other Solutions: Similar to staff augmentation services provided by specialized staffing firms. RPS provides personnel
on a consulting basis to its clients to supplement their own staff.



RPS is being admitted by way of reverse takeover by Cross Shore Acquisition Corporation (AIM: CSE).
