Date:10/18/2007

nd development increased 36 percent (or 13 percent on an adjusted basis) in the quarter; and the company announced several collaborations and agreements during the period, including:

proprietary Enhanze(TM) Technology to the development of a subcutaneous

route of administration for Baxter's GAMMAGARD LIQUID(TM) 10% [Immune

Globulin Intravenous (Human)] (IGIV) (known as KIOVIG(TM) in Europe).

Guangzhou, China.
