      this few MIL dollar loss will be peanuts.

      Hi,

      diesen Satz hab ich in einem US-Board gelesen und dies gibt zu denken!
      Da in den anderen GLGC-threads sehr wenig geschrieben wird, wollte ich
      auch mal einen thread aufmachen. Hat ja geklappt!

      Featured Articles From BusinessWeek Online`s Daily Briefing - 10/31/00


      TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2000 2:14 PM
      - PRNewswire

      NEW YORK, Oct 31, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The full version of the following articles are now available on

      SECURITY NET: Inexcusable Insecurity: Microsoft Is Hardly Alone
      By Alex Salkever
      http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/oct2000/nf20001031_939.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/oct2000/nf20001031_939.htm

      "The real concern here is not that Microsoft got broken into. The real
      question is: What can the mom-and-pop companies and even the middle-class
      companies do for security if Microsoft, with that staff and that funding,
      has these types of security issues?" Tim Belcher, chief technology
      officer of Internet security company RIPtech asks.
      The easy answer is that they can update their software in a timely
      fashion and rein in remote usage over unsecured machines. But Microsoft
      and the millions of other companies that rely on computers more and more
      as communications tools all face a common enemy in the resistance of
      heir employees to adopt cumbersome security measures.

      STREET WISE: Why Ford Could Keep on Truckin`
      By Margaret Popper

      Investors got understandably jumpy when they first saw news shots of Ford
      Explorers rolled onto their roofs by the side of the road. Small wonder
      Ford Motor Co.`s stock ( F ) dropped almost 50% at the beginning of
      August and has remained in the mid-20s ever since. But investors
      probably overreacted.

      Of the three U.S. auto giants, Ford isn`t the carmaker that analysts are
      most worried about. It`s unlikely auto makers will have the same record
      sales in 2001 that they`re having this year, but analysts still expect
      U.S. car sales to remain robust -- and Ford will get its fair share.

      NEWS ANALYSIS: A More Controversial Road to Gene Mapping
      By Eric Niiler
      http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/oct2000/nf20001031_985.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/oct2000/nf20001031_985.htm

      Retrieving malignant tumor tissue and diseased body parts that surgeons
      have removed from sick patients might seem a macabre way to benefit from
      the ongoing biotech boom in DNA research. But Gene Logic is doing just
      that. The Gaithersburg (Md.) company sells subscriptions to the
      databases it has built around its rapidly growing collection of tissue
      samples.

      Gene Logic isn`t alone. An increasing growing number of startup and
      established outfits, including gene giant Incyte Genomics, now have
      tissue-collection programs. They hope DNA replicated from these discards
      will provide a road map to the diseases that brought the patients to the
      hospital in the first place.

      da sollte man sich Gedanken machen


      Das Hautprodukt sei die Datenbank GeneExpress, welche vor allem
      Informationen darüber enthalte, wie die Gentechnik auf die 5.000 bis
      10.000 Zielsubstanzen wirke. Die Datenbank solle in den nächsten zwei bis
      drei Jahren von derzeit 42 Mio. gentechnischen Informationen mehr als 3
      Milliarden gentechnologische Einzeldaten auf Basis von Gewebeproben
      enthalten. Es werde mit einer Umsatzverdoppelung auf knapp 37 Mio. USD im
      laufenden Jahr gerechnet.

      Der Anleger sollte sich schnellstens mit dem Papier eindecken, so die
      Analystenmeinung.

      Hi Meier M.

      Amerikanischen boards zufolge sollen mit 2 Großkunden schon gespräche geführt werden!!!
      Kannst du mir das bestätigen?
      hab mir das nochmals überlegt, wenn GLGC nur eine "drug" findet könnte dies einen Raketenschub
      geben.
      Das herumreichen mit Kurszielen ist ja sehr beliebt aber "die amis spinnen" hier werden
      KZ`s von sage und schreibe 400$ angepriesen!!! Mein Schaden sollte es nicht sein aber
      man muß das schon etwas realistischer sehen und veranschlage auf Sicht v. 12 Monaten
      ein persönliches KZ von 150% das wären immer noch das 6fache v. gestrigen Kurs!
      Find mein KZ auch nicht überzogen da die MK dann ca.3,9 Millarden wäre das für einen
      Zukunftswert wie GLGC nicht besonders hoch ist.

      das selbe hab ich auch vernommen nur ganz so optimistisch bin ich nich, ein Kursziel on 100$
      sind in meinen Augen auf 12 M. durchaus erreichbar und das wäre noch eine *4!

      Aus Suntrade. de

      "Ähnlich wie der Computerchip die Welt revolutionierte, werden in nächster Zukunft Biochips die Medizin und damit unser Leben verändern", schrieb die US-Zeitschrift
      Fortune. Der Hausarzt wird dann nur ein paar Zellen aus einer Blutprobe benötigen, um mit Hilfe eines solchen Chips einen Alzheimer- oder Krebstest durchzuführen. Auf
      Biochips ist die fortschrittlichste Methode der Analytik von Biomolekülen möglich: wo bisher Hunderte oder Tausende von Einzelversuchen im Reagenzglas notwenig
      waren, finden diese nun auf einer kleinen Glasplatte statt. Insbesondere bei der Analyse von Erbsubstanz spielen die Biochips eine Rolle. Dann spricht man von Genchips.
      Auf kleinstem Raum, etwa einem 1,8 mal 1,8 Zentimeter großem Glasplättchen, können Tausende von Erbgutschnipseln aufgebracht werden. Das sind Genstücke,
      sogenannte cDNAs, oder nur sehr kleine Fragmente aus einer kurzen Abfolge von Basen (Oligonucleotide).
      Einer der ersten Chips, den Affymetrix produzierte, enthält zum Beispiel alle rund 6000 Gene der Bäckerhefe. Sie wurden ähnlich wir bei der Herstellung von Computerchips
      mit einem photolithographischen Verfahren aufgebracht. Die Erbgutschnipsel ragen wie die Wollfäden eines Flokkatiteppichs in die Höhe und können mit den Genen
      reagieren, die sich in einer Probe befinden. Diesen Vorgang nennt man hybridisieren. Dort wo sich ähnliche Genstücke zusammenfinden, leuchten auf dem Chip winzige
      fluoreszierende Punkte auf, die ein Laser sichtbar macht. Diese Signale zeigen dem Arzt etwa, ob in den Zellen des Patienten ein bestimmtes Krebsgen vorkommt oder
      nicht. Was früher ein Forscher nur mit enormen Aufwand in wochenlangen Experimenten durchführen konnte, erledigen nun Analysegeräte vollautomatisch und schnell. In
      den letzten zwei Jahren brachte Affymetrix bereits einige Genchips auf den Markt, die das Potential der neuen Technik deutlich machen. Mit einem HIV-Genchip können
      sich Aidspatienten testen lassen, ob ihr Virus bereits Resistenzen gegen ihre Medikamente entwickelt hat. Mit einem anderen Chip läßt sich die Aktivität des Krebsgens
      p53 untersuchen. Zusammen mit der Firma OncorMed (jetzt: Gene Logic) entwickeln Forscher bei Affymetrix derzeit auch einen Chip mit dem sich die Brustkrebsgene
      BRCA1 und BRCA2 analysieren lassen. "Wenn wir die Expression von Krebsgenen verstehen, können wir auch die Therapie dieser komplexen Krankheit verbessern", sagt
      Timothy Triche von Oncormed. Ein solcher Gentest via Chip könnte also in Zukunft nicht nur die Diagnose einer Krebserkankung präzisieren, sondern auch die Art der
      Therapie entscheidend beeinflussen.
      Das in Santa Clara ansässige Unternehmen Affymetrix erreichte etwas, was niemand für möglich gehalten hätte: das Unternehmen erreichte jetzt schon die knapp die
      Gewinnzone, obwohl Analysten von einem Verlust !!! von 0,12 US$ je Aktie rechneten. Mit dem Erreichen der Gewinnzone im dritten Quartal konnte man positiv
      überraschen. Dies unterstreicht nicht nur das starle Wachstum des Wertes, sondern macht vielmehr deutlich, daß der Marktführer im Segment der DNA-Chips eine neue
      Ära eingeläutet hat. Der Umsatz für die ersten 9 Monate diesen Jahres lag bei 141,4 Mio. US$, von denen knapp 56 Mio. US$ im letzten Quartal erzielt werden konnten.
      Der Umsatzanstieg zum Vorjahresquartal beträgt 89%. Stark steigend bei Affymetrix sind die Erlöse aus dem Bereich Lizenzgebühren (2.Quartal: 3% der Gesamtumsätze,
      3.Quartal: 15% der Gesamtumsätze). Round about 125 verschiedene Einrichtungen aus dem akademischen und dem kommerziellen Bereich nutzen mittlerweile die
      Technologie von Affymetrix, besonders in wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen sind die DNA-Chips zum Arbeitsmittel geworden. Daneben nutzen mehr als 20 Unternehmen
      als Lizenznehmer die Technologie des Biotechgiganten (z.B. MWG-Biotech). Der Patentrechtstreit mit Oxford Gene Technology wurde zugunsten von Affymetrix
      entschieden (Affymetrix besitzt somit gültige Lizenzen, die den Gebrauch der Technologien von Oxford Gene Technology ermöglichen), was dem Kurs in den kommenden
      Tagen weiteren Aufschwung verleihen sollte. Interessant ist der Konkurrenzkampf mit dem Unternehmen Incyte, welches Syntheni, ein Biochipunternehmen, kaufte und
      somit die eigene Positionierung im Genomicsbereich nutzen wollte, um auch im Bereich der Biochips eine bedeutende Marktstellung einzunehmen. Syntheni befand sich
      in einem Rechtstreit mit Affxmetrix, die die Offensive von Incyte auf juristischen Wege ausbremsen konnten.
      Affymetrix legte nach diesen Meldungen um über 30% zu, und öffnete ein GAP, welches auf grund der überhitzten Situation von 14er RSI und 10er WLR in den
      kommenden Tagen sichelrich geschlossen wird. Die Marktkapitalisierug liegt momentan bei 4,4 Mrd. US$, die vom Konkurrenten Incyte bei nur 2,5 Mrd. US$. Prognosen
      zufolge soll der Biochipmarkt im Jahr 2005 ein Gesamtvolumen von rund 6 Mrd. US$ betragen. Durch hohe Preise in der Produktion im DNA-Chipmarkt-Segment fallen die
      Gewinne, die damit generiert werden können weiter und weiter ab, je kommerzieller der Bereich wird. Parallel dazu drängen immer mehr Wettbewerber auf den Markt, die
      Applikationen für den breiten Markt anbieten und so den Volumenzuwachs dieses Segmentes kompensieren würden. M.E. wird Affymetrix seine Marktführung weiter
      verteidigen können und weitere Marktanteile durch diverse Aquisitionen hinzugewinnen können.
      Vor einer Positionierung sollte wie oben erwähnt das Schließen des GAP`s abgewartet werden, im Bereich von 64 US$ können erst Stücke gekauft werden. Ziel auf
      mittelfristige Sicht sind 100 US$, auch ein Optionsschein erscheint auf entsprechendem Niveau interessant.


      P.S.: allein die Zusammenarbeit mit AFFX ist schon 500Mil. Wert!

      Biotech analysts bullish on sector



      NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Biotechnology shares are ready for a steady
      advance once the slow days of summer draw to a close and companies
      start reporting lab successes, according to some analysts.

      Since the beginning of the year, the Amex Biotechnology Index ($BTK:
      news, msgs) has gained nearly 70 percent. But the index is still about 17
      percent off from its 52-week high of 806.37, which was reached on March
      7 amid runaway enthusiasm about genetic research.

      They aren`t predicting a repeat of the explosive
      increases of February and early March, but analysts
      said several factors, including resurgent hopes that
      genetic research will lead to improved disease
      treatments, will help lift biotechnology stocks later
      this year.

      "I`m bullish on the fundamentals of the sector
      post-Labor Day," said Winton Gibbons, an analyst
      with William Blair & Co.

      Michael Becker, an analyst with Wayne Hummer
      Investments, said history is on the side of
      biotechnology investors in the second half of the
      year. Medical and investment conferences in the fall
      typically generate announcements about
      advancements in the development of new medicines,
      he said. News of successful testing of a new drug
      can propel a biotech`s stock higher.

      "Once you get past Labor Day, interest in the
      biotechnology sector really picks up," Becker said.

      Peter Ginsberg, an analyst with US Bancorp Piper
      Jaffray, said stepped up merger and acquisition
      activity in biotechnology also bodes well for
      investors. Ginsberg noted that several buyouts
      recently, including Cephalon`s (CEPH: news, msgs) purchase of Anesta
      Corp. (NSTA: news, msgs), delivered significant premiums to shareholders
      of the acquired companies.

      Caution, of course

      While they are generally bullish, the analysts did offer some words of
      caution. They said if Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore pulls into
      the lead later this year, the shares of biotechnology and pharmaceutical
      companies could slide. Gore has criticized drugmakers for charging high
      prices, and the vice president supports expanding the federal health care
      program Medicare to cover prescription drugs. Drugmakers have long been
      wary of expanded Medicare coverage because they claim it could lead to
      government-imposed price caps on their products.

      And while they expect less volatility later this year, the analysts said biotech
      stocks are still subject to big swings partly because companies can suffer
      unexpected setbacks in the development of new medicines.

      Stock picks

      Gibbons, of William Blair, said he expects strong performance from the
      stocks of Celera Genomics (CRA: news, msgs) and its sister company PE
      Biosystems (PEB: news, msgs) . Celera has been at the center of attention
      this year because of its lead role in producing a map of the human genome,
      which contains the genes that determine hereditary characteristics.

      Celera shares
      climbed as high as
      276 in the winter as
      investors became
      increasingly optimistic
      about the potential for
      genetic research.
      Then in March,
      shares of Celera,
      along with other
      biotech stocks,
      plunged after President Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair made
      comments that investors interpreted to mean that governments would
      impose restrictions on companies` ability to profit from genetic research.
      Celera`s stock has recovered since the March tumble, but it is still well off
      its 52-week high. Shares of Celera now trade around 85.

      Gibbons said he expects Celera shares will gain altitude later this year as
      the company`s research progresses and investors see evidence of the
      benefits of genomics. Scientists expect that a better understanding of
      genetics will open the way for new treatments, and possibly cures, for a
      host of diseases.

      Gibbons said he also sees upside for PE Biosystems, which makes devices
      that are used in genetic research, because the company will be introducing
      new products.

      Carolyn Pratt, an analyst with Needham & Co., said she is optimistic about
      the prospects for companies that combine cutting-edge genetic research
      with the development of drugs to combat diseases. She said selling

      as some genomics companies do.

      Pratt mentioned Millennium Pharmaceuticals (MLNM: news, msgs), Vertex
      Pharmaceuticals (VRTX: news, msgs) and Human Genome Sciences
      (HGSI: news, msgs) as companies that are doing a good job of harnessing
      the latest scientific research to develop new disease treatments.

      Ginsberg, of US Bancorp Piper Jaffray, was positive about one of the
      industry`s oldest companies, Biogen (BGEN: news, msgs). He said Biogen`s
      recent decision to collaborate with Targeted Genetics (TGEN: news, msgs)
      on gene therapies for cancer and other diseases was encouraging because
      it "signals Biogen`s interest in expanding its focus on the field of oncology."

      Hallo M:M:

      interphase ist vielleicht auch Interesant?


      best company to own due to industry`s best technology, best software and best products.
      INPH also owns wireless 3g technology which could be valued in billions.
      INPH has worlds best products in fibrechannel as well as wireless 3g sectors. INPH (Interphase) is the one of the most
      unrecognized companies with the biggest upside potential. This company has the best performing fibrechannel Host bus adapters
      with best interoperability as proven by a recent Internet Week testing event. Read all the news to see how INPH will become a
      leader.
      http://www.iphase.com/events/index.cfm

      The company is presently valued below 100m at less than 1 x 2001 revenues. All it`s peers EMLX, JNIC and QLGC are valued
      over 30 times next years revenues and are multibillion dollar companies. Fibrechannel sector is the fastest growing sector in
      technology due to storage explosion.

      Due to the superiority in technology INPH has signed 6 new fibrechannel OEM deals during past few quarters. NEC , HWP,
      Hitachi, ATON, land-5, and CMNT. All major OEMs are currently evaluating a new line of fibrechannel products. The company
      was in transition and had a delay in software development during the past quarter which prevented it from selling any of it`s new
      line of fibrechannel products. Now they have developed the best software and FC products have begun shipping to Hitachi, NEC
      and other OEMs as well as resellers. Company is heading for over 100% sequential improvement of fibrechannel revenues in the
      coming quarter. Due to the software delay affecting fibrechannel revenues this company got caught to severe bout of selling
      creating a huge bargain. Fibrechannel growth is accelerating and the industry will be 10 times bigger in three years. Presently
      INPH has the widest fibrechannel Host bus adapter offering and the many unique host bus adapters.

      In addition to fiberchannel INPH has a huge potential in the wireless 3g broadband controllers market. Currently the company has
      the leadership position with the best products and has deals with all major wireless 3g OEMs including NOK, MOT,SUNW,Force,
      INTC, CPQ and Ericsson. Wireless 3g industry is the next fastest growing sector. (for 5-10 yrs) Revenues in wireless 3g will run
      into hundreds of millions. Current investors of INPH will make enormous returns in the short and long term. Do your own
      research and verify all the information about this company. Fibrechannel sector is one of the hottest (BRCD,EMLX, JNIC,
      QLGC) and INPH is the only unrecognized leader with a huge revenue potential in both fibrechannel and wireless 3g sectors.
      http://www.interphase.com/
      465000 shares are short. There is no more downside to this stock considering 1. Huge undervaluation. 2. Major technological
      advances in hardware and software during the past year. 3. INPH is entering revenue upside of over 100% in fast growing
      fibrechannel in q4 4. Major OEM deal was signed yesterday and mores are expected in the coming weeks. Major short squeeze is
      going to happen pretty soon in this stock.

      GLGC weist auf augenblicklichem Niveau eine Marktkapitalisierung von round about 540 Mio.
      US$ auf, es sind nur 6% der ausstehenden AKtien im Besitz von Shortsellern momentan
      (man vergesse hier nicht die Zahlen vom 30.10., es scheinen alle bad news eingepreist zu
      sein). Trotz nicht berauschender Zahlen, kann der Wert immer noch die Unterstützung von
      20 US$ deutlich verteidigen, was in stürmischen Zeiten wie diesen verwunderlich stimmen
      sollte. Interessant wird das Verhalten der AKtie im Bereich der jetzigen
      Unterstützungszonen. SOllte die EMA20 verteidigt werden und dies parallel mit einer wieder
      erstarkten Nasdaq geschieht, so ist hier mit einem deutlichen Rebound zu rechnen, der im
      ersten Schritt die Marke von 25 US$ deutlich übersteigen wird! Also eine schnelle Erholung
      auf bis zu 35 $ ist zu erwarten.

      hört sich doch gut an

      We were incorporated in September 1994 and have devoted substantially all of our resources to the
      development of our genomics technologies, bioinformatics systems and database products for use in
      pharmaceutical, diagnostic and agricultural product research and development.

      Since 1997, we have developed custom gene expression databases designed for certain of our
      customers` internal programs and needs and targeted to specific therapeutic areas of interest, including
      heart failure, kidney disease, osteoporosis, psychiatric disorders and other major illnesses. Building on
      this know-how, in March 1999, we began developing the GeneExpress Suite, our large-scale reference
      database of gene expression information. The GeneExpress Suite contains information from a broad
      range of normal and diseased human tissues, tissues from experimental animals, human and animal cell
      lines and tissues that have been treated with many different drugs. We completed development of the
      first commercial version of the GeneExpress Suite in November 1999. We currently market the
      GeneExpress Suite through nonexclusive subscriptions to customers in the pharmaceutical,
      biotechnology and diagnostic industries, and are developing versions of the database suite to market to
      the academic and government life science research community and to physicians and patients. We
      sold our first subscription to the GeneExpress Suite in December 1999.

      Customers for our custom database and related software products can provide us with various
      combinations of recurring technology and database access fees, research fees, certain additional
      payments upon the attainment of research and product development milestones, royalty payments
      based on sales of any products resulting from their use of our products, and nonrefundable upfront
      payments. Subscribers to our GeneExpress Suite pay us varying database subscription fees depending
      upon the level and type of information they obtain.

      Technology and database access fees are recognized evenly over the term of each customer
      agreement. We recognize revenues from research and development support when they are earned,
      which is ordinarily when the work is performed or costs are incurred. Milestone payments and
      royalties are recognized when they are earned in accordance with the applicable performance
      requirements and

      9.


      contractual terms. Subscription fees to the GeneExpress Suite are recognized evenly over the term of
      the subscription. Nonrefundable upfront payments received for the value of data purchased,
      transferred technology or other contractual rights that are not contingent upon future performance
      under the terms of the agreements are recognized as revenue when earned. Under collaboration
      agreements in which we create research databases in exchange for fixed fees, revenues from such
      collaborations are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method.

      Our future profitability will depend in part on the successful establishment of agreements with
      additional customers which include various combinations of genomic databases, bioinformatics
      software and genomics technology and the successful commercialization of the GeneExpress Suite.
      Payments for access to custom databases and the GeneExpress Suite are expected to be our primary
      source of revenue for the foreseeable future. We have not received, and do not expect to receive,
      significant royalty or other revenues from development and commercialization of products by our
      customers using our databases and other technology for several years, if at all. Revenues from our
      customers may be subject to significant fluctuation in both timing and amount, and, therefore, our
      results of operations for any period may not be comparable to the results of operations for any other
      period.

      We have incurred operating losses in each year since our inception. At September 30, 2000, we had
      accumulated losses of approximately $96.2 million. Our losses have resulted principally from costs
      incurred in the development of our gene expression databases, a $35.2 million non-recurring charge
      incurred in connection with our acquisition of Oncormed and selling, general and administrative costs
      associated with our operations. These costs have exceeded our revenues which, to date, have been
      generated principally from agreements for our custom database and related software products. We
      expect to incur additional operating losses in future years.

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

      Revenues increased $1.0 million or 25% to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
      2000 from $4.2 million for the same period in 1999. Revenues increased $3.3 million or 25% to $16.8
      million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $13.5 million for the same period in 1999.
      The increase in revenues resulted primarily from additional subscribers to the GeneExpress Suite of
      products offset somewhat by a decline in custom database revenues due in part to the conclusion of a
      collaboration with Aventis CropScience. Payments from each of American Home Products Corp.`s
      Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Genaissance Pharmaceuticals, Japan Tobacco and Procter & Gamble
      accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Payments
      from each of Aventis CropScience, Japan Tobacco and Procter & Gamble accounted for 10% or
      more of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and the nine months ended
      September 30, 2000. Payments from each of Aventis CropScience, Japan Tobacco, Organon and
      Procter & Gamble accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
      1999.

      Research and development expenses increased to $12.0 million and $31.0 million for the three and
      nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, from $7.0 million and $21.5 million for the same
      periods in 1999. The increase in research and development expenses for the three and nine month
      periods ended September 30, 2000 was primarily attributable to increased tissue acquisition and
      processing costs, Affymetrix GeneChips usage, and agreements with third parties to expand and
      enhance the content and product offerings of the GeneExpress Suite. We expect research and
      development expenses to increase as we expand the content of the GeneExpress Suite, further
      develop the Flow-thru Chip and pursue our collaboration with Life Technologies, Inc.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $4.7 million and $12.7 million for the three
      and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, from $2.3 million and $6.1 million for the
      same periods in 1999. For the three and nine month periods approximately $1.9 million and $4.3 million,
      respectively, of the increase was attributable to the establishment of sales and marketing efforts. The

      10.


      remainder of the increase is due to the expansion of general business operations. Selling, general and
      administrative expenses are expected to increase as we expand our product offerings and sales and
      marketing efforts.

      Amortization of goodwill was $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended
      September 30, 2000, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Oncormed in September 1998.

      Net interest income increased to $3.8 million and $10.0 million for the three and nine months ended
      September 30, 2000, respectively, from $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the same periods in 1999
      primarily due to investment of the proceeds of our public offering of common stock in February 2000.

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      From inception through September 30, 2000, we have financed our operations through the sale of
      equity securities, payments from customers, and equipment and tenant improvement financing. In
      February 2000, we completed a public offering of 4,680,000 shares of our common stock (including
      exercise of the underwriters` over-allotment option), generating net proceeds of approximately $247.5
      million. As of September 30, 2000, we have also obtained $0.5 million of capital lease financing and
      $6.3 million under equipment and tenant improvement loans. As of September 30, 2000, we had
      approximately $231.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $12.4
      million as of December 31, 1999.

      Net cash used in operating activities was $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
      compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 1999. During the nine months ended September 30,
      2000 and 1999, we primarily used cash to fund our operating losses.

      The Company`s investing activities, other than sales, maturities and purchases of available-for-sale
      securities, consisted of capital expenditures, an $8.1 million equity investment in NeuralStem and
      software and database development costs. The increase in capital expenditures, which totaled $6.3
      million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, was
      primarily due to increases in capacity needed to expand the content of the GeneExpress Suite of
      products. During the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001, we expect to invest
      approximately $6.0 million in tenant improvements to meet our expanding facility requirements.

      Software and database development costs were $5.2 million and $0.5 million for the nine months
      ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We incurred software development costs of $3.1
      million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, related
      to ongoing efforts to enhance the software interface of the GeneExpress Suite. Also, during the three
      months ended September 30, 2000 we incurred $2.2 million of database development costs related to
      the update of our GeneExpress Suite data as a result of Affymetrix, Inc.`s release of their HU-95
      Human Genome GeneChip set. This new set includes 60,000 human genes and ESTs as compared to
      the HU-35 Human Genome GeneChip set which included 42,000 human genes and ESTs. Software
      and database development costs are being amortized over their expected useful lives of three and two
      years, respectively. Software development costs are expected to continue as a result of ongoing
      efforts to further enhance the GeneExpress Suite while database development costs are not expected
      to recur in the near future.

      Our financing activities, other than the repayment of capital lease obligations and equipment loans,
      consisted of the issuance of common stock primarily through our public offering in February 2000 and
      the exercise of stock options.

      We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated payments from customers will be
      sufficient to support our operations for the foreseeable future. These estimates are forward-looking
      statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual future capital requirements and the
      adequacy of

      11.


      our available funds will depend on many factors, including those discussed in our Annual Report on
      Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the following:

      - progress of our discovery programs;

      - the number and breadth of these programs;

      - our ability to establish and maintain additional arrangements with customers, including additional
      subscriptions to the GeneExpress Suite;

      - the commercial success of the in-process technologies we acquired in our acquisition of Oncormed;

      - the progress of the development and commercialization efforts of our customers;

      - the level of our activities relating to our independent discovery programs and to the development and
      commercialization rights we retain in our arrangements with customers;

      - competing technological and market developments;

      - the costs associated with obtaining access to tissue samples and related information; and

      - the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other
      intellectual property rights.

      We could require additional financing in the future, which we may seek to raise through public or
      private equity or debt offerings. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity or
      convertible debt securities, ownership dilution to stockholders will result. If adequate financing is not
      available when needed, we may be required to:

      - curtail significantly one or more of our research and development programs;

      - obtain funds through arrangements with customers that may require us to relinquish rights to certain
      of our technologies, discoveries or potential products; or

      - grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

      Major Financial Publications Carrying Fast-Growing Companies List
      das sieht doch verdammt gut für die Zukunft aus.

      TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2000 7:03 AM
      - PRNewswire

      DENVER, Nov 21, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Wall-Street.com (WSC) announced the current group of 40
      participants in the "Fastest-Growing Companies in America" investor relations program which it sponsors.

      company listings that recently appeared in two of the nation`s major financial publications. Additionally, these

      financial databases, to determine the growth companies invited to be included in WSC`s "Fastest-Growing Companies
      in America" by-invitation-only investor relations opportunity. They ranged in size from a few giants of corporate
      America to emerging growth companies. All were screened for exceptional long-term sales growth, recent growth
      trends, size and stock price. Only 15% of America`s publicly traded companies passed these tests and were eligible

      Was meinst Du mit `Biotech Investor`? etwa www.juchu.de? Da wärs ja nicht so sehr stützend für die Aktie. Oder meinst Du was anderes? Immerhin ist Gene Logic ein amerikanischer Wert.
      Außerdem ist Euphorie bei diesem Wert wohl überhaupt nicht angebracht. Immerhin war das Teil bis Donnerstag in den USA noch auf Jahrestief.

      Hallo ricox,

      meine bioinvestor, sorry. Incyte und Gene Logic sind die
      führenden in diesem Gen-Info Bereich!Beide haben glänzende
      Zukunftsaussichten nur das INCY 2 Millarden und GLGC 400Mil.
      wert ist!!! Also allein die Datenbank gerechtfertigt bei
      GLGC einen kurs von 25$ plus die Cashposition 10$ dann
      haben wir einen Wert von 35$ ohne jegliche Fantasie! Das
      gibt zu denken.

      Gene Logic on Track to Have 3 More Database
      Subscribers in `00
      By Karen Fessler

      New York, Nov. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Gene Logic Inc. said it`s on track to license
      its gene expression databases to at least three more companies by the end of
      the year and generate about $25 million in revenue this year, a top executive
      said.

      Gene Logic, with $19.2 million in sales last year, creates databases of genetic
      information that provide researchers with details on how genes interact, how
      they`re expressed and their effects on cells and tissues so they can develop
      new drugs.

      The money-losing company has so far this year licensed its GeneExpress
      suite of databases to seven subscribers, including Pfizer Inc. and American
      Home Products Corp., and is targeting a mix of pharmaceutical and
      biotechnology companies. The target market for Gene Logic`s databases
      could eventually reach about $1.15 billion in annual sales, said Chief
      Executive Mark Gessler.

      Gaithersburg, Maryland-based Gene Logic charges pharmaceutical
      companies about $4 million to $6 million and biotech companies about $2
      million for subscriptions to the databases.

      Gessler spoke to investors at the BankBoston Robertson Stephens medical
      conference today in New York.

      Market Barometer For Tuesday 11-28-00

      Hi folks! What a bear! This year we effectively got TWO cycle lows. One that I foresaw due to mutual fund tax loss selling in October (that even drags many winners
      down as mutual funds sell them to raise cash) and the other, this unresolved election, that no one could have foreseen.

      I correctly said that 3000 was likely to hold in October (as it did last Spring) and it did with a low of 3056. Before election uncertainty it appeared that the NASDAQ
      was going to resume an uptrend since a nice rally was under way. However, once we had the unresolved election that rally abruptly reversed and it was fairly obvious
      that 3000 was likely to fail. Once a major support level like that fails AND there is also this seemingly never ending election uncertainty there is the recipe for a severely
      downtrending market (the NASDAQ Composite (COMPX) is down about 20% since the election).

      At Bernie Schaeffer`s site he shows (did as of this writing anyway) a chart of the NASDAQ Composite (COMPX) with a 40 month moving average
      (http://www.schaeffersresearch.com/schaeffer/bernie_observati… Not sure how long the link will work so my apology if it doesn`t work.). It appears
      the worst case (not necessarily likely) for COMPX is a further decline to the 2500-2600 area. That type of selloff would bring COMPX below it`s 40 month moving
      average and would be the first time that`s happened since the Fall of 1998 when the foreign economic crisis and LTCM bailout occurred.

      So, we are near a major cycle low and now is an outstanding time to buy growth stocks. A Volatility Index (VIX) above 30 tends to coincide with cycle lows and VIX
      currently stands at 30.39 as of Tuesday 11-28. HOWEVER, since volatility is very high tight stops (8-15%) are very likely to whipsaw you out of positions. Right now
      fairly loose stops or buy and hold are the only options that make sense IF you are brave enough and/or calm enough to buy now.

      Concerning the economy there is a fair amount of talk about "the big slowdown." It has slowed dramatically from earlier this year when it was growing at a blistering
      6-7% or so. My sense is that we are now growing at about 4% in the fourth quarter which sits fairly well with the Fed. The Holiday shopping season got off to a start
      that was 4% above last year for example. I don`t see a recession any time soon. The economy may slow to the 2-3% range in Q1 2001 when the Fed is likely to switch
      to a neutral bias (they might in December depending upon how the economic data looks) and they might even lower rates at some point in the first or second quarter.

      There is also a lot of talk about an earnings slowdown. And there is one in the economically sensitive value stocks. However, let`s take a look at all of Joe F. Rocks!
      picks and see wether earnings estimates for the current fiscal year have been unchanged, rising or falling the past two months.

      Core

      America Online (AOL) - Rising,
      Citigroup (C) - Rising,
      Cisco Systems (CSCO) - Rising,
      EMC (EMC) - Rising,
      GM Hughes Electronics (GMH) - Falling,
      Microsoft (MSFT) - Rising,
      Networks Associates (NETA) - Rising,
      Paychex (PAYX) - Unchanged but rose 5% from 3 months ago,
      Pfizer (PFE) - Rising,
      Charles Schwab (SCH) - Falling (Thanks to this market! 65 cents to 64 cents. No debacle.),
      Sun Microsystems (SUNW) - Rising,
      Yahoo! (YHOO) - Rising! Yes, from 47 to 48 cents. I may make YHOO my next "Stocks To Watch" pick. Of course it`s already on the buy alert list.

      Non-core

      CMGI (CMGI) - Falling,
      Conseco (CNC) - Falling,
      Gene Logic (GLGC) - Unchanged,
      Corning Incorporated (GLW) - Rising,
      Inktomi (INKT) - Rising,
      JDS Uniphase (JDSU) - Rising,
      Network Peripherals (NPIX) - Unchanged,
      Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX) - Rising,
      PE Biosystems (PEB) - Rising,
      Qualcomm (QCOM) - Falling,
      Sycamore Networks (SCMR) - Rising,
      Sepracor (SEPR) - Falling,
      Xerox (XRX) - Falling.

      Well, there is certainly no earnings debacle among Joe F. Rocks! picks. Among core quality picks, which according to Joe F. Rocks! philosophy should be about 75% of
      your growth stock allocation, 7 out of 10 have rising estimates the past two months including even Yahoo! (YHOO) which has been savaged along with most of the
      internet sector. Paychex (PAYX) had an unchanged estimate from two months ago but the estimate rose 5% from three months ago. Among the non-core picks the
      picture isn`t quite as rosy (to be expected with non-core picks), but still there are 6 picks with rising estimates to 5 with falling estimates and two have unchanged
      estimates the past two months.

      Well folks, it`s getting late. I`m going to leave in some of the information from the previous "Market Barometer." The bottom line is that things aren`t as bad as they seem
      (at least for my picks) and the good times will return fairly soon I suspect though no one has a crystal ball. You should NOT be buying any stock merely because I or
      anyone else recommends it. You should be doing thorough due diligence and have an investment plan (see a financial planner or a registered investment advisor). Also,
      you MUST have a risk mitigation strategy BEFORE you buy. Will you use tight stops, loose stops or buy and hold? Tight stops as I said already are VERY likely to
      whipsaw you out of any purchase right now with growth stocks tending to have mind boggling volatility. Don`t forget to bookmark Joe F. Rocks! homepage. Good luck
      and may the force be with you!

      TMF Interview With Gene Logic
      President & CEO Mark Gessler

      With Tom Jacobs (TMF Tom9)
      November 30, 2000

      [Today`s story on bioinformatics company deCODE genetics` (Nasdaq: DCGN)
      move into pharmacogenomics ties in with this interview.]

      One exciting area of biotech today is mining the human genome for functional
      genetic information. The Fool`s Tom Jacobs (TMF Tom9) recently spoke with
      Mark Gessler, President and CEO of Gaithersburg, Maryland-based Gene Logic
      (Nasdaq: GLGC), a bioinformatics company producing gene expression
      information from its growing repository of normal and diseased human tissue.
      Here is an edited transcript of their conversation.

      Tom9: Mark, GeneLogic`s goal is to be world`s leading source of gene
      expression information. What does that mean, so that my Aunt Harriet can
      understand it? My Aunt Harriet, by the way does not own a computer, so I`m
      safe, but she`s very smart.

      Gessler: How genes are being used. For most of your readers, the important
      distinction being made is between underlying gene sequence information,
      provided by companies like Celera (NYSE: CRA) and Incyte (Nasdaq: ICNY)
      as raw data. That`s like a phone book -- I`m sure Aunt Harriet still has a
      phone book -- and in my community we have addresses for 60,000 people,
      but in reality we don`t know what those people do based on that information.

      What I would say is that what we now have with the genome, with the human genome and the baseline
      blueprint of life being unraveled here, we have really the baseline "phone numbers" if you will that says
      we`ve identified a gene and the 3 billion base pairs and we say that maybe there are 60,000, maybe
      there are 100,000 of these genes out there, and really the next step is saying what are these genes
      actually doing in the body, in diseases and under normal circumstances.

      What our clients are able to do is understand more about how the pathways are
      being used in the disease, and this kind of information helps them to determine
      which genes should be focused on in their [product] development pipeline.

      Tom9: Great. Now why is this a smart goal from a business standpoint -- for
      what you`re offering to do for those folks?

      Gessler: The reason it`s a smart objective is that information`s going to be the
      absolute backbone of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. While we see
      more and more new technologies come out and they have implications in terms of
      more experiments being run, the absolute backbone is the information and how
      you manage it, how you`re comparing it. So, we want to be one of the leading players in the information
      business, providing genomic information to our clients via database products, more specifically the
      GeneExpress database suite.

      Tom9: One of the things that sets your database apart is the vast array of tissue samples and sampling
      capability that you have.

      Gessler: Absolutely. We`re one of the first companies, if not the first company, to sit at this confluence
      of this massive amount of genetic information with large-scale amounts of clinical information. All the
      samples coming through, sourced from hospitals, from patients undergoing operations, for research into
      various forms of tissue, all that tissue and all the clinical data about that patient -- without information
      about that patient specifically such as identity -- goes into our database. I want to be able to look at a
      specific stage of cancer, specific age ranges, specific cancer, to be able to refine down the search to a
      very specific type of tissue. This is absolutely important in understanding what genes are doing what at
      a particular point in time.

      Our clients may have [interest in] 100 genes or 1,000 genes, but they are interested in tracking across
      all the diseased genes we have in our database, and all the normal ones. We`re about 10% through to
      our objective to have about 30,000 human tissues in the database over the next several years here, so
      they would have the ability to scan through our database over 100,000 genes or 100 genes that they
      have that they are particularly interested in and look at those genes and figure out exactly what is
      going in each stage of disease under all the circumstances that are important to human life and human
      health.

      Tom9: I can understand why this is really important to drug makers in terms of narrowing their searches
      for drug candidates and so on. They have access to your data through subscriptions?

      Gessler: Yes, it`s a three-year subscription model where they pay an annual fee for the entire database
      that would range, if you are a large-scale pharma company, between $2 and $6 million, and if you are a
      biotech company, it`s slightly less: a $2 to $4 million range.

      We charge the customers on annual basis, which gives us an underlying kind of an annuity, in terms of
      the business going forward. The customers I sign up this year are going to be with me for certainly a
      couple more years. That gives us the opportunity to really ramp up the revenue in the years ahead.
      We`re building up a better and better annuity base each successive year.

      Tom9: So a customer gets a subscription to the GeneExpress Database Suite -- it has three
      components?

      Gessler: Right, three primary components. First, something we call BioExpress, which is the compilation
      of normal and diseased human tissues. These are the tissues that I mentioned that we`re pulling
      together literally from the operating room and bringing through our process and then ends up in our
      database.

      The second part is something called ToxExpress, where we`re actually treating rats and we`re treating
      human tissues in vitro, and we`re comparing the patterns that we see of gene expression for compounds
      that are known to be toxic. Many companies want to understand what is going on with their compounds
      in terms of toxicity at a very early time point, and what we`re trying to do is unearth the patterns of
      gene expression that might be indicative of a compound that may not fare well in clinical development.

      The third and final component of the database is something we call PharmExpress, which is very similar
      to ToxExpress except we`re testing top-selling drugs across all the important disease areas such as
      oncology, cardiovascular disease, CNS [central nervous system], in treating animals and then taking the
      tissues from those animals and doing the same sort of scan for gene expression that we`re doing in the
      case of ToxExpress -- so that we`re able to unearth, for the first time perhaps, what pathways are
      being modulated and what the downstream effects of these drugs are, not only in the target organs,
      but in non-target organs, which is important in designing new therapies in these diseased areas.

      Tom9: Is anybody else collecting tissues with the same goal?

      Gessler: I can say that there are certainly other companies that want to get into this game and want
      to begin to collect tissues. Now, I`ll take this one step further, because there`s certainly a lot of talk out
      there about SNPs. These are single nucleotide polymorphisms. These are base sequence changes or
      differences. The differences between you and me are modest...

      Tom9: We`re talking one letter differences in the A`s, C`s, G`s, and T`s of DNA.

      Gessler: ...and they may have important implications to what a gene does in humans, maybe because
      you are more likely to get a disease or you may be more likely to react favorably if you`re treated with a
      drug. There`s a lot of talk about SNPs, where you can gather up a lot of samples from thousands of
      patients simply through cheek swaps or blood draws to do that. It`s important not get confused.

      If you`re doing sequence analysis, you don`t need a huge number of samples to understand the human
      genetic code. If you`re on the other end and you`re looking for single based changes [SNPs], or
      differences between human beings, you can gather that up in the thousands, by simply doing cheek
      swabs or blood draws, or even other forms of material, but those are the two most common ways.

      But when you sit in the middle, when you`re trying to do a detailed survey of precisely what`s going on
      with how genes are being used for disease, you need 10 or 15 samples from each of these important
      disease areas or disease stages. Think about a cancer -- seven or eight major cancers -- we have
      [samples] for each pathological stage of that cancer, with all the detailed clinical information behind
      them. That enables us to start to say which genes are consistently being used and which ones are not,
      and how does that change as we move from each stage [of disease]. That kind of information is
      absolutely vital, dependent on having high quality samples on the front end with detailed clinical
      information.

      Tom9: Turning to the numbers. You`re expecting $24 million to $25 million in
      revenues by the end of year?

      Gessler: That`s correct.

      Tom9: When is estimated profitability?

      Gessler: Probably two or three years away from that. We have a strong current cash position of about
      $230 million and are certainly well able to finance going forward. Obviously the model we`re in is to build
      the database information set up as rapidly as we possibly can, extending our first-mover advantage. We
      want to pull ourselves well far away from any other competitor in this space. And for the customers,
      they understand that we are the game in town. Nobody, in my view, is even close to coming up with
      the kinds of levels of information at the quality and quantity we`re able to provide.

      Tom9: You rely on the Affymetrix (Nasdaq: AFFX) GeneChips with 60,000 genes or gene sequences to
      test your tissue samples. Is there a point at which advances come along that mean you might have to
      redo your test with new equipment or information?

      Gessler: We certainly save material from the samples... because there are going to be technologies in
      the future that we`re going to want to take the same material and run it against. One of the key areas
      if probably proteomics in the future... We still think that`s a couple of years away, but we`re setting up
      the database to be able to run large scale proteomic data sets, and there are other things as well, such
      as the SNP information off of our underlying samples. There are a variety of ways we can use the
      samples and we`re setting up to execute on that.

      Tom9: Long term, how high is the ceiling for Gene Logic? Spin out where you see your company in 10
      years.

      Gessler: Ten years in biotech might as well be 3,000. I want to be careful to tell you what I can see. A
      couple of years ahead of us, we`re talking significant revenues, approaching $100 million if not more.
      There are certainly 300 companies that can pay at the very top end of our pricing and that have the
      absolute requirement for our information utility to be hooked up in house. And certainly all the biotech
      companies that are out there. Literally 1,000, probably 500 at least, that could immediately use what
      we`re providing in a cost-effective manner, they have no capability to generate it internally themselves,
      or it wouldn`t make any sense.

      Certainly pharma and biotech is the first place we`re going to start, also the diagnostic companies are
      ripe for us to have customer relationships with as well... Over the next couple of years I`d be very
      pleased if we had 50 or 60 biotech and pharma customers that are hooked up to our database... We`ve
      started executing on a more aggressive strategy underlying the gene intellectual property and we`re
      looking at ways to leverage that part of our patent portfolio as well.

      The subscription agreement provides for broad deployment of the Oncology DataSuite and its related software tools across LG Chemical`s global research and
      development infrastructure.

      In addition, the terms of the GeneExpress® subscription also call for Gene Logic to construct a separate customized database containing segments of LG
      Chemical`s proprietary data, which will then be integrated into their access to the Oncology DataSuite. This will enable LG Chemical`s researchers to view a
      combination of both proprietary data and the nonproprietary data available from the Oncology DataSuite in a fully integrated, secure and seamless
      environment.

      Under the custom discovery partnership, Gene Logic will use its patented READSTM technology and Affymetrix Inc.`s (Nasdaq: AFFX - news) GeneChip®
      platform to identify genes that are differentially regulated in samples taken from individuals with various gastrointestinal diseases.

      Specifically, Gene Logic will apply these technologies to study gene expression profiles in various tissue types involved in gastrointestinal disease, study select
      tissues following exposure to proprietary and non-proprietary compounds, and provide to LG Chemical researchers viable drug targets.

      ``We look forward to working closely with Gene Logic as we pursue our drug discovery and development initiatives around gastrointestinal disease,`` stated
      Dr. Yang, President of LG Life Science. ``The tools offered by Gene Logic together with our internal proprietary programs should create a significant leap in
      our understanding of this debilitating disease. Gene Logic has become a significant partner in LG Chemical`s ongoing drug discovery and development
      research.``

      ``We are very pleased that LG Chemical, a company with global reach and well respected development capabilities in drug discovery and development, has
      chosen to establish a business relationship with Gene Logic,`` said David S. Murray, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales for Gene Logic.

      Continuing, Murray said, ``LG Chemical`s decision to both subscribe to the GeneExpress® Oncology DataSuite and form a discovery partnership focused on
      gastrointestinal disease continues to validate the benefits of our multi-platform approach to genomics and the utility of our genomics information assets. It is
      encouraging to know that scientists at LG Chemical`s multiple sites across the globe will be accessing, mining, and sharing both proprietary and non-proprietary
      data provided by Gene Logic in their efforts against gastrointestinal disease.``

      Gene Expression Analysis Spurs Critical Advances and Intense Competition, According to
      Cambridge Healthtech Institute Report


      MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2000 6:59 AM
      - PRNewswire

      NEWTON UPPER FALLS, Mass., Dec 11, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Gene-expression- analysis
      technologies, in combination with advances in bioinformatics, are rapidly generating important new insights into
      diseases and promise to be crucial tools for identifying and validating drug targets. Recognizing these opportunities, a
      growing number of companies are entering this field, in which at least 80 firms are now competing, according to a new
      report from Cambridge Healthtech Institute`s (CHI`s) Genomic Reports series (www.genomicreports.com).

      The report, Genomic-Scale Gene Expression Analysis: Advancing from DNA to Disease, analyzes current and
      emerging technologies and discusses key trends, as well as the outlook for the field. It references more than 60
      companies in this area, providing in-depth profiles of key competitors. Ten leading specialists in gene expression
      analysis served as advisors and contributed to this report. The report also includes proprietary data from CHI`s Drug
      Discovery and Development Deals Database, which reveals that Affymetrix, Incyte Genomics, and Gene Logic have
      been the most active dealmakers in gene expression analysis. In addition to well-known innovators such as Affymetrix
      and Incyte Genomics, other companies--such as Clontech, Nanogen, and Third Wave--are offering promising new
      technologies.

      CHI`s report discusses the advantages of, and hurdles inherent in, the many technologies that are available for gene
      expression analysis (e.g., serial analysis of gene expression, differential display, quantitative reverse
      transcription-polymerase chain reaction). These tools are revealing key molecular insights into human health and
      disease, including responses to drugs and toxins. Special emphasis is placed on DNA-array technologies because
      they offer the high-throughput capacity crucial for large-scale genomic analysis. Arrays have produced some important
      findings lately-especially in cancer. For example, researchers have used these tools to distinguish new subtypes of
      leukemias and lymphomas, melanomas, and breast cancers.

      Genomic-Scale Gene Expression Analysis: Advancing from DNA to Disease is coauthored by Kent E. Vrana, Ph.D.,
      associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake
      Forest University School of Medicine, and Willard M. Freeman, a postdoctoral fellow in the same department. It is part
      of CHI`s new Genomic Reports series, which builds upon the company`s unparalleled standing as a producer of
      cutting-edge genomic conferences. (For more details on current conferences, see www.healthtech.com.)

      California invests $300 million in high tech

      REX DALTON



      [SAN DIEGO] California is pumping $300 million into three new centres for biomedicine, nanotechnology and
      telecommunications at the University of California (UC). The centres, which will be based in San Francisco, Los Angeles and
      San Diego, will each involve several UC campuses, corporations and investors in an ambitious plan to create new technologies.

      A number of state governments, including California, give limited funds to research, but the great bulk of US research funding
      comes from the federal government. This year, for example, California will receive an estimated $14 billion in such funding.

      But the size of the state initiative — made possible by California`s booming economy and budget surplus — may open a new era
      of major scientific investment by states.

      AP

      Forward thinking: state governor Gray Davis reveals plans for California to `invent the future`.

      Calling the project "the most ambitious scientific research initiative ever undertaken" by the state, Gray Davis, California`s
      Democrat governor, says the hope is to create "three world-class research and innovation centres with a single mission: invent the
      future".

      The centres and collaborators are: the California Institute for Bioengineering, Biotechnology and Quantitative Biomedicine at UC
      San Francisco, with UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz; the California NanoSystems Institute at UC Los Angeles, with UC Santa
      Barbara; and the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology at UC San Diego, with UC Irvine.
      Each will include new buildings to house laboratories, academics and students.

      The centres were recommended by a five-member panel of scientific authorities, chaired by Richard Lerner, president of the
      Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California. The state rejected three other proposals, but one of these — a centre for
      information technology at UC Berkeley, to work with three other campuses — was sufficiently strong that UC Davis will seek
      funding for it in the state legislature`s upcoming budget.

      A UC Irvine proposal for a centre for systems biology, and a centre for agricultural genomics involving UC Davis and UC
      Riverside, were not funded. Proponents of the agricultural genomics project were disappointed, but said that promises of industry
      funding mean that they aim to go ahead with the centre in a modified form.

      Under the state`s plan, each of the three designated centres will receive $100 million of taxpayers` money over the next four
      years. Each centre must also raise twice this from other sources, making the total potential investment worth $900 million.

      Although there are many joint research projects between UC researchers and industry, the explicit mission of these centres to
      work towards applied technologies has raised some questions about their academic independence.

      "It is a challenge to sort how we will do this and preserve the mission of the university," says Zach Hall, vice-chancellor for
      research at UC San Francisco. "But we are taking on that challenge and want to make it work."

      President & CEO Mark Gessler

      With Tom Jacobs (TMF Tom9)
      November 30, 2000

      [Today`s story on bioinformatics company deCODE genetics` (Nasdaq: DCGN)
      move into pharmacogenomics ties in with this interview.]

      One exciting area of biotech today is mining the human genome for functional
      genetic information. The Fool`s Tom Jacobs (TMF Tom9) recently spoke with
      Mark Gessler, President and CEO of Gaithersburg, Maryland-based Gene Logic
      (Nasdaq: GLGC), a bioinformatics company producing gene expression
      information from its growing repository of normal and diseased human tissue.
      Here is an edited transcript of their conversation.

      Tom9: Mark, GeneLogic`s goal is to be world`s leading source of gene
      expression information. What does that mean, so that my Aunt Harriet can
      understand it? My Aunt Harriet, by the way does not own a computer, so I`m
      safe, but she`s very smart.

      Gessler: How genes are being used. For most of your readers, the important
      distinction being made is between underlying gene sequence information,
      provided by companies like Celera (NYSE: CRA) and Incyte (Nasdaq: ICNY)
      as raw data. That`s like a phone book -- I`m sure Aunt Harriet still has a
      phone book -- and in my community we have addresses for 60,000 people,
      but in reality we don`t know what those people do based on that information.

      What I would say is that what we now have with the genome, with the human genome and the baseline
      blueprint of life being unraveled here, we have really the baseline "phone numbers" if you will that says
      we`ve identified a gene and the 3 billion base pairs and we say that maybe there are 60,000, maybe
      there are 100,000 of these genes out there, and really the next step is saying what are these genes
      actually doing in the body, in diseases and under normal circumstances.

      What our clients are able to do is understand more about how the pathways are
      being used in the disease, and this kind of information helps them to determine
      which genes should be focused on in their [product] development pipeline.

      Tom9: Great. Now why is this a smart goal from a business standpoint -- for
      what you`re offering to do for those folks?

      Gessler: The reason it`s a smart objective is that information`s going to be the
      absolute backbone of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. While we see
      more and more new technologies come out and they have implications in terms of
      more experiments being run, the absolute backbone is the information and how
      you manage it, how you`re comparing it. So, we want to be one of the leading players in the information
      business, providing genomic information to our clients via database products, more specifically the
      GeneExpress database suite.

      Tom9: One of the things that sets your database apart is the vast array of tissue samples and sampling
      capability that you have.

      Gessler: Absolutely. We`re one of the first companies, if not the first company, to sit at this confluence
      of this massive amount of genetic information with large-scale amounts of clinical information. All the
      samples coming through, sourced from hospitals, from patients undergoing operations, for research into
      various forms of tissue, all that tissue and all the clinical data about that patient -- without information
      about that patient specifically such as identity -- goes into our database. I want to be able to look at a
      specific stage of cancer, specific age ranges, specific cancer, to be able to refine down the search to a
      very specific type of tissue. This is absolutely important in understanding what genes are doing what at
      a particular point in time.

      Our clients may have [interest in] 100 genes or 1,000 genes, but they are interested in tracking across
      all the diseased genes we have in our database, and all the normal ones. We`re about 10% through to
      our objective to have about 30,000 human tissues in the database over the next several years here, so
      they would have the ability to scan through our database over 100,000 genes or 100 genes that they
      have that they are particularly interested in and look at those genes and figure out exactly what is
      going in each stage of disease under all the circumstances that are important to human life and human
      health.

      Tom9: I can understand why this is really important to drug makers in terms of narrowing their searches
      for drug candidates and so on. They have access to your data through subscriptions?

      Gessler: Yes, it`s a three-year subscription model where they pay an annual fee for the entire database
      that would range, if you are a large-scale pharma company, between $2 and $6 million, and if you are a
      biotech company, it`s slightly less: a $2 to $4 million range.

      We charge the customers on annual basis, which gives us an underlying kind of an annuity, in terms of
      the business going forward. The customers I sign up this year are going to be with me for certainly a
      couple more years. That gives us the opportunity to really ramp up the revenue in the years ahead.
      We`re building up a better and better annuity base each successive year.

      Tom9: So a customer gets a subscription to the GeneExpress Database Suite -- it has three
      components?

      Gessler: Right, three primary components. First, something we call BioExpress, which is the compilation
      of normal and diseased human tissues. These are the tissues that I mentioned that we`re pulling
      together literally from the operating room and bringing through our process and then ends up in our
      database.

      The second part is something called ToxExpress, where we`re actually treating rats and we`re treating
      human tissues in vitro, and we`re comparing the patterns that we see of gene expression for compounds
      that are known to be toxic. Many companies want to understand what is going on with their compounds
      in terms of toxicity at a very early time point, and what we`re trying to do is unearth the patterns of
      gene expression that might be indicative of a compound that may not fare well in clinical development.

      The third and final component of the database is something we call PharmExpress, which is very similar
      to ToxExpress except we`re testing top-selling drugs across all the important disease areas such as
      oncology, cardiovascular disease, CNS [central nervous system], in treating animals and then taking the
      tissues from those animals and doing the same sort of scan for gene expression that we`re doing in the
      case of ToxExpress -- so that we`re able to unearth, for the first time perhaps, what pathways are
      being modulated and what the downstream effects of these drugs are, not only in the target organs,
      but in non-target organs, which is important in designing new therapies in these diseased areas.

      Tom9: Is anybody else collecting tissues with the same goal?

      Gessler: I can say that there are certainly other companies that want to get into this game and want
      to begin to collect tissues. Now, I`ll take this one step further, because there`s certainly a lot of talk out
      there about SNPs. These are single nucleotide polymorphisms. These are base sequence changes or
      differences. The differences between you and me are modest...

      Tom9: We`re talking one letter differences in the A`s, C`s, G`s, and T`s of DNA.

      Gessler: ...and they may have important implications to what a gene does in humans, maybe because
      you are more likely to get a disease or you may be more likely to react favorably if you`re treated with a
      drug. There`s a lot of talk about SNPs, where you can gather up a lot of samples from thousands of
      patients simply through cheek swaps or blood draws to do that. It`s important not get confused.

      If you`re doing sequence analysis, you don`t need a huge number of samples to understand the human
      genetic code. If you`re on the other end and you`re looking for single based changes [SNPs], or
      differences between human beings, you can gather that up in the thousands, by simply doing cheek
      swabs or blood draws, or even other forms of material, but those are the two most common ways.

      But when you sit in the middle, when you`re trying to do a detailed survey of precisely what`s going on
      with how genes are being used for disease, you need 10 or 15 samples from each of these important
      disease areas or disease stages. Think about a cancer -- seven or eight major cancers -- we have
      [samples] for each pathological stage of that cancer, with all the detailed clinical information behind
      them. That enables us to start to say which genes are consistently being used and which ones are not,
      and how does that change as we move from each stage [of disease]. That kind of information is
      absolutely vital, dependent on having high quality samples on the front end with detailed clinical
      information.

      Tom9: Turning to the numbers. You`re expecting $24 million to $25 million in
      revenues by the end of year?

      Gessler: That`s correct.

      Tom9: When is estimated profitability?

      Gessler: Probably two or three years away from that. We have a strong current cash position of about
      $230 million and are certainly well able to finance going forward. Obviously the model we`re in is to build
      the database information set up as rapidly as we possibly can, extending our first-mover advantage. We
      want to pull ourselves well far away from any other competitor in this space. And for the customers,
      they understand that we are the game in town. Nobody, in my view, is even close to coming up with
      the kinds of levels of information at the quality and quantity we`re able to provide.

      Tom9: You rely on the Affymetrix (Nasdaq: AFFX) GeneChips with 60,000 genes or gene sequences to
      test your tissue samples. Is there a point at which advances come along that mean you might have to
      redo your test with new equipment or information?

      Gessler: We certainly save material from the samples... because there are going to be technologies in
      the future that we`re going to want to take the same material and run it against. One of the key areas
      if probably proteomics in the future... We still think that`s a couple of years away, but we`re setting up
      the database to be able to run large scale proteomic data sets, and there are other things as well, such
      as the SNP information off of our underlying samples. There are a variety of ways we can use the
      samples and we`re setting up to execute on that.

      Tom9: Long term, how high is the ceiling for Gene Logic? Spin out where you see your company in 10
      years.

      Gessler: Ten years in biotech might as well be 3,000. I want to be careful to tell you what I can see. A
      couple of years ahead of us, we`re talking significant revenues, approaching $100 million if not more.
      There are certainly 300 companies that can pay at the very top end of our pricing and that have the
      absolute requirement for our information utility to be hooked up in house. And certainly all the biotech
      companies that are out there. Literally 1,000, probably 500 at least, that could immediately use what
      we`re providing in a cost-effective manner, they have no capability to generate it internally themselves,
      or it wouldn`t make any sense.

      Certainly pharma and biotech is the first place we`re going to start, also the diagnostic companies are
      ripe for us to have customer relationships with as well... Over the next couple of years I`d be very
      pleased if we had 50 or 60 biotech and pharma customers that are hooked up to our database... We`ve
      started executing on a more aggressive strategy underlying the gene intellectual property and we`re
      looking at ways to leverage that part of our patent portfolio as well.
