Notes from Conference Call:

1. P&G Marketing costs will decrease in out quarters.

2. h Pylori sales from P&G will not show until out quarters.

3. Operating costs growth will be 2/3 of sales growth in future. Therefore, earnings will continue to outpace expenses.

4. No pricing pressures domestically, except in pregnancy testing.

5. BDX lawsuit is groundless, according to the company. Company will not comment further on the lawsuit.

6. Strong dollar cost company $145,000 in the quarter.

7. Glaxo will continue to support company efforts in influenza.

8. Significant improvement in inventory turnover (or turns) this FY.

Also, note that CellPro, the loser in a very similar lawsuit with BDX, is now trading above $8.00 a share. They were about at $5.00 when the lawsuit was settled. Just goes to show you how these are one-time events.
