The "Other" income line was almost 14% of the total amount. I'm assuming that a lot of this number is from interest on the $ they have on hand, ready to spend on the new ($30M)production facility.

The R&D budget was up >$700K. Could this be spending related to the new facility?

As far as G&A, they are spending $ in the lawsuits with Genentech and now I see a legal dispute with Serono. Also, with the dual nature of BTGC operations - US and Israel, IMO, BTGC is building an empire of upper mgnt that may have overlapping functions.

I'm quite surprised at the reduction in Marketing and sales expense. I recall Sims saying that the sales force was being built out to increase exposure. Maybe they just paid the salesmen and did not do any media advertising?
