Research and development expenses for the current quarter increased $3.3 million to approximately $13.8 million as compared to the prior year period and increased $8.4 million to $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the prior year period. This year-to-date net increase reflects an actual increase of approximately $12.5 million in R&D expenditures, primarily due to increases in clinical activities, the number of research and development employees and related infrastructure costs. The prior year nine month period included a $4.1 million charge due to in-process R&D expenses related to our acquisition of RNAi intellectual property from Galenea Corp. in the first quarter 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million to approximately $5.1 million for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter and increased $4.0 million to approximately $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the prior year period, primarily due to increases in patent and legal costs necessary to support our business model as well as our growth.

cash, cash equivalents and investments compared to $51.0 million at
