Item 9.   Regulation FD Disclosure

     The Key Product Line Sales for 2002 attachment to the press release issued
     by the company on January 22, 2003 contained an inadvertent typographical
     error. Specifically, the full-year 2002 growth rate for Plasma Proteins
     should have been reported as (1%). The full-year 2002 sales for Plasma
     Proteins were correctly reported as $1,008,000. The press release,
     including the corrected attachment, is filed as Exhibit 99.
