(the &#147;Company&#148;), that it filed a Form&nbsp;10-K/A on Wednesday, February&nbsp;27,
2008.&#160; This filing was submitted at your
direction primarily: 1) to amend <b>Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures</b> to provide greater detail regarding the
disclosed material weakness discovered regarding the initial booking of a
significant entry in the wrong period and&nbsp;2) to amend Exhibit&nbsp;No.&nbsp;31.2
to re-insert the introductory language to paragraph 4 which was inadvertently
deleted from the certification.&#160; The Form&nbsp;10-K
was also amended where necessary to reflect material events that have occurred
subsequent to April&nbsp;2, 2007, including, but not limited to, the conclusion
of the 2007 fiscal year, the termination of a lease from an affiliate, changes
in key employees, subsequent litigation filed by us against Becton, Dickinson&nbsp;&amp;
Company (&#147;BD&#148;) and by BD and MDC Investment Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. against us, our
annual meeting, the resignation of an independent Director, and the appointment
of an independent Director.</font></p>
