On December 9, 2004, we filed a current report on Form 8-K relating to the sale of all of the stock we held in our subsidiary, Callida Genomics, Inc. (“Callida”) to SBH Genomics, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation. In that report, we indicated that the sale of our Callida stock would result in a non-cash charge to our earnings and that we anticipated filing pro forma financial statements to reflect the disposition of our Callida stock. We now estimate that we will incur a non-cash charge to our earnings of approximately $1.0 to 1.5 million due to the difference between the value of the convertible promissory notes received in the sale and the carrying value of Callida’s assets and liabilities in our balance sheet, plus approximately $0.5 to $1.0 million of various other cash and non-cash charges associated with the sale of this subsidiary. We have determined that pro forma financials are not required to be filed pursuant to Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K with respect to this transaction. This amendment amends our original filing related to this matter to clarify that no pro forma financial information is presented.
