|   | In      September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), "Fair Value      Measurements".  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a      framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting      principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands      disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted the provisions of      SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, for our financial instruments. Although      the adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially impact our financial      condition, results of operations, or cash flow, we are now required to      provide additional disclosures as part of our financial      statements. |

|   | SFAS      157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the      inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers include: Level      1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;      Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that      are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as      unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore      requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.                                                                                                                                             |

|   | Our      cash and cash equivalents, including money market securities, were $42.5      million and $45.5 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008,      respectively. We classified our cash and cash equivalents within Level 1      of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market      prices.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

|   | Basic earnings per share is      computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of      common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is      computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of      common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have      been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been      issued.  For the purposes of this calculation, stock options are      considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a      dilutive effect.  Stock options that are anti-dilutive are      excluded from the calculation. |

|   | For      the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 potential common      stock equivalents of 195 and 646,887, respectively, were not included in      the per share calculation for diluted EPS, because we had a net loss and      the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three month      periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, options to purchase 7,499,993 and      3,471,768 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but were      not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’      exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common      stock and thus would beanti-dilutive. |

|   | The      Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes      valuation model. This valuation model takes into account the exercise      price of the award, as well as a variety of significant assumptions. These      assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the      expected term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the      expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the expected term, and the      Company’s expected annual dividend yield. The Company believes that the      valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying      assumptions are appropriate in      calculating the fair values of the Company’s stock options granted in the      three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008. Estimates of      fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value      ultimately realized by persons who receive equity  awards. |

|   | As      of December 31, 2008, we had federal net operating loss and research and      experimentation credit carryforwards of approximately $46.5 million and      $12.8 million respectively, which may be available to offset future      federal income tax liabilities and expire at various dates from 2009      through 2029.  In addition, at December 31, 2008, we had      approximately $11.4 million and $6.6 million of state net operating losses      and state research and development and investment tax carryforwards,      respectively, which expire at various dates from 2009 through      2023. |

|   | Based on an analysis that we      performed under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 on our NOLs generated      for the period 1997 through 2007, we have not experienced a change in      ownership as defined by Section 382, and, therefore, the NOLs are not      currently under any Section 382 limitation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

|   | In      September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 ("SFAS 157"),      "Fair Value Measurements," which defines fair value, establishes      guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair      value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value      measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in      various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for      fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on February      6, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-b which defers the effective      date of SFAS 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and      nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in      the financial statements on a recurring basis. We adopted SFAS 157 on      January 1, 2008, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and      nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP FAS 157-b. We adopted FSP      FAS 157-b on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a      material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of      operations or cash flows. |

|   | In      December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement      of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 160, “Noncontrolling      Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No.      51.” SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the      noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a      subsidiary. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years      beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009.      The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on our      consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash      flows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

|   | In      December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement      of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141(R), “Business      Combinations.” SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how      the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the      identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, an any      noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the      goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain      purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of      the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of      the business combination. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal      years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 141(R) on January      1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material impact      on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash      flows as of the date of adoption. SFAS 141(R) will be applied to any      future business combinations.                                                                      |
