Product sales for the quarter increased 95% over the prior-year

of product sales and contract research and development revenue,
increased 48% to $3.86 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007
from $2.61 million in the prior-year quarter. Net income for the
third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $1.05 million, or $0.22 per diluted
share compared to $401,385, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the
prior-year quarter.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, product sales increased
84% to $10.23 million from $5.55 million for the first nine months
of fiscal 2006. Total revenue increased 37% to $11.90 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from $8.69 million for the

2007 and $87,234, or $0.02 per share, in the first nine months of
fiscal 2007. Net income for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 also includes
primarily non-cash provisions for income taxes recognized in accordance
