Corporate Shared Services (CSS)
CSS costs associated with finance, IT, HR, business development and administration activities totaled $7.8 million for the three months ending September 29, 2007, compared to $8.4 million for the third quarter in 2006. This decrease reflects our ongoing efforts to lower infrastructure costs. Current period expenses include $1.5 million of legal and other professional fees related to the anticipated sale of the Biologics business unit announced on September 11, 2007, while the prior period expenses included expense related to the review of certain stock compensation awards.
Recent Accomplishments

business unit to Biotest AG, a significant step toward the successful
