For the six months ended June 30, 2000, revenue was $6,490,000 compared with $6,869,000 for the first six months of 1999.

J. Melville Engle, chairman, president and chief executive officer, attributed the increase to revenues associated with ORTHOVISC, primarily the recognition of certain previously deferred revenue. Gross margins for the quarter declined to 36 percent of total revenue compared with 52 percent for the same period last year. Engle said the decline was primarily due to the new supply contract terms with Bausch & Lomb Surgical announced earlier this week, which included lower prices effective retroactively ret·ro·ac·tive

Regarding the company's future plans for ORTHOVISC following the recent announcement of disappointing clinical trial results, Engle said the results are still being evaluated by an independent research firm and the company's scientific advisory board and this evaluation must be completed before making any decision about whether to conduct additional clinical trials.
