Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2007 Results

As a result of the November 13, 2006 sale of its former instrument business to Bio-Rad Laboratories, the Company anticipates no major revenue until its diagnostic tests are commercialized. Accordingly, the Company had minimal revenue from service of $23,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $44,000 for the full year of 2007, compared to $1.2 million and $18.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 and full year of 2006, respectively.

The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $3.3 million, compared to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2006.
