Edward, your analysis as far as it goes is fairly straight forward.

However, GNS is essentially two companies and the segmented information is I think much more revealing.

Three months ended Six months ended
June 30 June 30
1999 1998 1999 1998
---- ---- ---- ----
Segment profit (loss): $ $ $ $
Bioimplants 753,076 (1,631) 1,165,527 (292,092)
Biopharmaceuticals (397,766) (568,650) (876,950) (1,076,462)
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
355,310 (570,281) 288,577 (1,368,554)

It shows that the operating, bioimplants division had a profit of Three months ended in June of about $750,000, whereas the research division, biopharmaceuticals, had a loss of about $400,000.

What it shows to me that the operating division is viable and is growing in sales, and that the research arm is a bit of a net drain for now, certainly not unusual for biotech companies.

Happy investing,

andrew
