Total revenue for the quarter was $5,061,000 compared to total revenue of $13,660,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Total first quarter fiscal year 2010 revenue was comprised of Protein A product revenue of $2,473,000 and royalty and other revenue of $2,588,000, consisting primarily of royalty payments from Bristol-Myers Squibb on the U.S. sales of Orencia(R) and grant revenue from the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
