Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously reported in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we had been advised that a receiver had been appointed for the laboratory that we were using to perform analytical release and stability testing of our Levulan^® Kerastick^® product. As a result, that laboratory was no longer able to perform these services on an on-going basis. On May 5, 2010, following discussions with the FDA, we filed a 30-day Changes Being Effected (CBE-30) supplement to validate the use of a new analytical laboratory for product release and stability testing. The 30-day review period has now passed and we may ship product which has been tested and released by our new laboratory services provider. We have not experienced any interruption in supply of our product.
