We still expect that our overall manufacturing and related process development expenses for 2007 will be in line with 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we plan to initiate a 40-litre technology transfer, complete our 100-litre scale up studies and investigate the lyophilization of REOLYSIN(R). We are also examining ways to reduce our economic dependence resulting from having only a single cGMP manufacturer. This might include building up a level of inventory, increasing the scale of each production run, engaging another cGMP manufacturer or manufacturing REOLYSIN(R) ourselves. Depending on how we mitigate our risk of economic dependence our expectation of our 2007 M&P expenses may change.
