David,

If you read carefully you'll notice that the release mentions that today's presentation is the first time detailed data from the supplemental trial has been disclosed. My guess would be that they are including a press release on it to keep the SEC off their back, the same way companies generally release a synopsis of their earnings report by wire shortly BEFORE they hold the teleconference. Keeps the playing field marginally level. And I'd imagine ATIS and it's shareholders consider this information somewhat more important than its largely irrelevant at this point quarterly earnings reports.

" LA JOLLA, Calif., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Gail K. Naughton, Ph.D., President and Chief Operating Officer of Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc., today presented data from the pivotal and supplemental clinical trials of Dermagraft in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers at the Biomaterials of the Future Conference in San Francisco. This marks the first time detailed data from the supplemental clinical trial and pooled results from both trials have been disclosed. The combined data shows that Dermagraft (within a specified therapeutic range based on metabolic activity) is significantly more effective than the control treatment, achieving complete healing of these severe ulcers in 51% of the patients in twelve weeks."

Regards,
Dennis
