The Company reported net income of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share, including the effect of a $9.2 million, or $0.13 per share, in-process research and development (IPR&D) charge related to its July July: see month.  2005 acquisition of Ovion Inc. The prior year's third quarter earnings were reported as a net loss of $26.3 million, or $0.39 per share, including the effect of a $35.0 million IPR&D charge as the result of the TherMatrx acquisition completed in that year ago quarter.

Net income for the quarter, excluding the impact of the Ovion IPR&D charge, was $10.6 million, or $0.15 per share. Net income for third quarter 2004, excluding the impact of the TherMatrx IPR&D charge, was $8.7 million, or $0.12 per share.

 earnings to these adjusted results is included in the attached financial tables.

Sales for the first nine months of 2005 were $189.5 million, up over 27 percent from sales of $148.7 million for the comparable period of 2004 (with 1.2 percentage points of the increase coming from currency exchange rate changes). Sales of TherMatrx, acquired in July 2004, contributed 8 percentage points to the first nine months' sales growth.

Net income as reported for the nine month period totaled $24.7 million, or $0.34 per share, up from a 2004 net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.15 per share, reported for the comparable period. Net income in the nine month periods of 2004 and 2005 were reduced by the IPR&D charges for the TherMatrx and Ovion acquisitions respectively as previously quantified. Excluding these charges in both years, net income for the first nine months grew nearly 35 percent to $33.9 million, or $0.47 per share, in 2005 from $25.2 million, or $0.36 per share, in 2004.

Martin J. Emerson, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While our sales growth did come in under our plan, we are satisfied with our overall financial performance in the third quarter. Our 18 percent top line growth was virtually all organic and was sufficient to drive solid leverage in our income statement. Excluding the effect of IPR&D charges, our operating and net income lines both grew faster than sales. Our top line growth was again led by our innovative line of women's pelvic pelvic /pel·vic/ (pel´vik) pertaining to the pelvis.
