John DiBella, vice president for marketing and sales of Simulations Plus, said: “This new record for fourth fiscal quarter revenues is likely to be eclipsed by a substantial amount going forward as a result of our just-completed acquisition of Cognigen Corporation. In addition to the sustained growth of Simulations Plus over more than 10 years, we will now be adding revenues from our Cognigen division. Needless to say, this is an exciting time for both Simulations Plus and Cognigen.”
