COMMENT: 2007 figures for the Seattle company include expenses related to Cascade's pending purchase by MDU Resources; those expenses reduced first-half net profit by $1.2 million, or 11 cents per share.

COMMENT: After excluding several one-time items, the company's adjusted per-share profit of 18 cents was 2 cents below the Wall Street consensus estimate.

COMMENT: The Bellevue company's big revenue gain was due primarily to $609,000 of research-and-development income and $173,000 of licensing-fee income stemming from the company's terminated agreement with Wyeth Consumer Healthcare. CEO Daniel Wilds said the company was initially disappointed by Wyeth's decision to end the agreement involving extended-release ibuprofen delivery, but encouraged by the number of potential licensing and partnership inquiries from other pharmaceutical companies now interested in its program.
