Steve, News release puts valuation at 46 cents per share.

Phil,

*Book value* is 48 cents/share. The Pasteur Merieux Connaught deal, with potential for $31mm in milestone payments, ~$1mm equity investment in CIST, and funding for preclinical research will clearly drive CIST value substantially higher. There's also still the potential for additional partnerships for other IL-1b applications.

The selloff, while expected given the number of frustrated investors, surprised me by its magnitude. Why would anyone sell below book after announcement of a major agreement with the world's preeminent vaccine maker??? Once the selling is done - and I believe it will be fairly quick - I would expect recovery to the mid-60's and higher.

I'm pleased and optimistic!

Rudy
