COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

During the third quarter we continue to see an increase in sales, as well as interest from completely new customers, and we are pleased that demand from existing customers gives larger volumes. It is evident that the products have reached the market through numerous publications and conference papers from our customers, including Pfizer, Amgen, Bruker, FDA and SigmaAldrich, in which they demonstrate the advantages of using our products.

Gross income improved during the third quarter compared with same period last year. We continue our strategic efforts with a strong focus on increased sales of the products in our protein engineering portfolio and as a result, to date this year we have seen increased costs in production as well as in sales and marketing. Three people have joined our staff, two in sales and one in production. However, costs for research and development as well as administration have not increased during the period.
