...an interim strategy of partnering...

I don't think they have given up on creating their own pipeline (CRGN would be very disappointed, otherwise...), just that they are being realistic about how much it's going to cost, and how long it might take.

Of course, if '-EGF should turn out to be a blockbuster, then it's a whole other ballgame.

Some comments:

The operating costs seem to be very high. The company has been running at a 30 mUSD rate for General and Administrative costs since 2002. How can they spend so much on what should be a fairly simple operation?

R&D at 100 mUSD seems also very high as there is not much going on in the clinics apart from 50 % of ABX-EGF.

Other operating expenses refers mainly to costs for their plant-to-be.
