Fourth Quarter 2006 Financial Results

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased to $18.0 million, a 117% increase from $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Product sales from biosurgery and immunotherapy product lines increased 143% to $15.7 million ($4.3 million from biosurgery products and $11.4 million from immunotherapy products) from $6.5 million ($1.9 million from biosurgery products and $4.5 million from immunotherapy products) in the comparable quarter in 2005, with biosurgery product sales increasing by 124%. These results are mainly attributable to an increase in unit sales of Evicel and Quixil, the Company's marketed fibrin sealant products, VIG sales in the amount of $6.0 million, and increased unit sales and price per unit of IVIG.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter was $9.1 million, or 50% of total revenues, compared to $2.5 million, or 31% of total revenues, in the corresponding quarter of 2005. Gross profit on product sales was $8.8 million, or 56%, in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $2.0 million, or 31%, in the corresponding quarter of 2005.

Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $807,000 compared to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $797,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005 due to an increase in business development costs, new employee hires as well as an increase in legal, insurance and other expenses related to being a public company.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $6.4 million, or $0.41 per share on a diluted basis, versus $93,000, or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2005.

These results are mainly attributable to an increase in unit sales of Crosseal, Evicel and Quixil, the Company's marketed fibrin sealant products, VIG sales in the amount of $21.3 million, and an increase in unit sales and price per unit of IVIG.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased to $9.9 million for the full-year 2006 compared to $5.5 million for the full-year 2005 due to an increase in business development costs, new employee hires as well as an increase in legal, insurance and other expenses related to being a public company, and stock based compensation expenses in connection with our IPO.

Net income for the full-year 2006 was $23.1 million, or $1.65 per share on a diluted basis, versus a loss of $27.7 million, or a loss of $2.45 per share on a diluted basis, for the full-year 2005.
