Celliance currently manufactures Cohn fractionated and Heat Shock Bovine Serum Albumin along with several enzyme products at its facility in Toronto, Canada. The facility has approximately 25,000 square feet of manufacturing space and operates at the lowest margin of any of Celliance’s facilities. A large portion of this facility is over 45 years old. A more recent addition was under construction and substantially completed when it was acquired in December(a) ~~2001.~~Not ~~To upgrade the equipment and to enhance the safety of the facility would require significant capital investment, approximately $6-8 million~~applicable.

~~The~~(b) Not ~~production currently at Toronto will be moved to Celliance’s Kankakee, Illinois facility~~applicable. It is expected that the Toronto site will be closed by the end of the first half of 2006 and subsequently prepared for sale. In connection with these activities, the Registrant expects to incur $2-3 million in cash closure costs related to clean up, dismantling, severance and benefit costs.

~~Over the past several months, Celliance has continued to focus on process improvements and lean manufacturing initiative at all of its plants, and in particular at its Kankakee facility~~(c) Exhibits. ~~Through these efforts, Celliance has achieved increases in production capacity of EX-CYTE® at the Kankakee facility using existing equipment.~~

Additionally, the Registrant anticipates incurring $3-4 million in cash closure costs related to severance and other costs to prepare the facility for sale.
