Barbara,

I will give a technical update after today's close.

As far as other candidates for a possible takeover of GZTC is really sketchy to pick out. Obviously with the viability of a transgenic program becoming more tangible it would certainly be a wondrous addition to any of the large pharmaceutical companies' programs, the likes of Merck, Pharmacia/Upjohn, and Warner Lambert to name a few. Bristol Meyers Squibb in my mind would be the leading candidate on this list via their several collaborations with GZTC to transgenically produce biologics of BMY's interest. They in fact have seemed to have taken the most interest in GZTC's technology through their investments in GZTC's business. If Bristol Meyers were in fact the lead candidate, the deal could be very lucrative for Genzyme General as they hold that 44% stake which in accounting terms in a influential yet non-controlling investment.
