On July 11, 2011, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coral Blood Services, Inc., completed the sale of the Company’s red blood cell collection operation assets in California and Maine to The American National Red Cross pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on July 11, 2011.  The assets included automobiles and equipment, finished goods and work-in-process inventory of blood products, a trademark and books and records relating to blood drive sponsors and blood donors.  As a result of the sale transaction, the financial results related to the red blood cell collection operations will be shown as discontinued operations on the statement of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Previously, the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 reported these operations as part of continuing operations.
