Outlook

For the year 2006, the Company reiterated that it expected revenue in the range of $304 to $314 million. Revenue projected for the second quarter of 2006 ranges from $75 to $78 million.

Earnings per share on these revenues for 2006, on a non-GAAP basis before the impact of the stock-based compensation expensing per SFAS 123(R), remain as anticipated in the range of $0.78 to $0.82 per share. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company expects non-GAAP earnings of $0.19 to $0.20 per share. These projected earnings exclude any in process research and development charge from the BioControl acquisition.

Earnings per share for 2006 as reported in accordance with GAAP, and thereby including the effect of stock option expensing as required under SFAS 123(R), are expected to be in the range of $0.66 to $0.70. Second quarter GAAP earnings per share are anticipated in the range of $0.16 to $0.17.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings per share projections is as follows:
