First Quarter 2007 Financial Results

Operating expenses totaled $3.7 million and $1.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the ongoing development costs of our oncology programs, including the Phase I clinical studies and development activities for INNO-406, development activities related to our planned Phase II study of INNO-206, and preparation for the pivotal studies with Tamibarotene and INNO-406.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $0.5 million at March 31, 2007, as compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2006.
