Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and the business experience of those executive
officers who are not also our directors is set forth in Item 10(b)-
Identification of Executive Officers of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

         The directorships held by each of our directors in any company with a
class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to Section 15(d) of such Act or any company

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive
officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Directors, executive officers, and
greater than ten percent holders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

         Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received or
written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during
Fiscal Year 2001 filing requirements under Section 16(a) applicable to our
directors, executive officers and ten percent holders were met.

(1)  See Note (1) to the Summary Compensation Table. The options vest in four
     equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the grant
     date.

(2)  Options to purchase an aggregate of 542,629 shares were granted to all our
     employees and directors in Fiscal Year 2001.

(3)  Options expire ten years from grant date unless the individual earlier
     terminates employment. Upon such termination of employment, all vested
     options expire 90 days from the termination date.

(4)  Amounts reported in these columns represent amounts that may be realized
     upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their
     term assuming the specified compounded rates of appreciation (5% and 10%)
     on our common stock over the term of the options. These numbers are
     calculated based on rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
     Commission and do not reflect our estimate of future stock price growth.
     Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises and common stock holdings
     are dependent on the timing of such exercise and the future performance of
     our common stock. There can be no assurance that the rates of appreciation
     assumed in this table can be achieved or that the amounts reflected will be
     received by the option holder.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     Mr. Tendler received $40,000 for his services as Chairman of our Executive
Committee during Fiscal Year 2001. Messrs. Hayward-Surry and Lerner and Dr.
Platika each received $15,000 for their services as directors. Mr. Limber became
a Board member during Fiscal Year 2001 and received $7,500 for his services.
Each of these Board members also received $2,000 for each meeting of the Board
that they attended. If a committee meeting occurred on days other than when a
Board meeting took place, these directors received $1,000 for each committee
meeting attended.

     All members of the Board of Directors receive reimbursement of expenses
associated with their attendance of meetings of the Board of Directors or of any
committee of which they are a member.

     In addition, directors who are not also officers or employees received
option grants under the 1998 Director Stock Option Plan, as amended. This plan
provides for an automatic grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of common
stock upon initial election to the Board of Directors and an automatic annual
grant of options to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock. These grants vest 25
percent on the six-month anniversary of the grant date and then vest 25 percent
each on the second, third and fourth year anniversary of the grant date. The
term of all options granted under the plan, as amended, is ten years from the
date of grant. The exercise price for all options granted under the plan, as
amended, is equal to the last sale price for the common stock on the business
day immediately preceding the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in
cash or shares.

     Pursuant to the 1998 Director Stock Option Plan, Messrs. Tendler, Parker,
Lerner, Limber and Charpie and Drs. Ackerman, Wicker, and Platika each received
an automatic annual option grant on December 14, 2001 to purchase 2,000 shares
of common stock, at an exercise price of $6.80 per share. Mr. Hayward-Surry is
not permitted by his employer to accept option grants and has not received any
grants under the 1998 Director Stock Option Plan.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.


         In February 1998, Pall Corporation ("Pall") and VITEX entered into a
series of agreements (the "Pall Agreements") providing for, among other things,
collaboration on the development and marketing of systems employing our pathogen
reduction technologies for red blood cell and platelet concentrates. Pall is a
leading manufacturer and supplier of filtration products, including those
relating to the collection, preservation, processing, manipulation, storage and
treatment of blood and blood components. Under the Pall Agreements, Pall
receives exclusive worldwide distribution rights to all systems incorporating
pathogen reduction technology for red blood cells and platelets. We have also
agreed to share with Pall research, development, clinical and regulatory
responsibilities and will equally share profits and joint expenses from
operations after each party is reimbursed for its cost of goods. Pall research
funding in Fiscal Year 2001 totaled $5.8 million and we purchased production
related materials from Pall totaling $0.2 million during the year.

         Upon execution of the Pall Agreements in February 1998 and at the time
of our initial public offering, Pall made equity investments in VITEX totaling
$9.0 million. In addition, the Pall Agreements provide that Pall will purchase
up to $17.0 million worth of our common stock in installments tied to the
achievement of specific development milestones ($10.0 million remaining at
December 29, 2001). Such equity investments by Pall will be made at the
prevailing market price per share. We reached equity milestones in December 2000
and December 1999 and accordingly, Pall purchased $4.0 million and $3.0 million,
respectively, of our common stock at the then market price. Mr. Hayward-Surry,
one of our directors, is the President and is a member of the Board of Directors
of Pall Corporation.

         During Fiscal Year 2001, in anticipation of the Plasma Operations
divestiture described below, we terminated our last active technology license
from the New York Blood Center ("NYBC"). Prior to termination, we made royalty
payments to the NYBC in Fiscal Year 2001 totaling $0.7 million. Mr. Tendler, one
of our directors, is a member of the Board of Trustees and the Executive
Committee of NYBC.

         As of April 15, 2002, Ampersand Ventures ("Ampersand") owned
approximately 34 percent of our outstanding stock, as described in Note 2 to the
Security Ownership by Management and Principle Stockholders Table. Messrs.
Charpie and Parker and Dr. Ackerman, our directors, are general partners in
Ampersand and, in the case of Mr. Charpie, managing general partner, of various
Ampersand funds (as more fully described in Note 2 to the Security Ownership by
Management and Principle Stockholders Table). As of April 15, 2002,
Messrs. Charpie and Parker may be considered beneficial owners of 33.6 percent
of our outstanding stock. Dr. Ackerman owned 1.9 percent of our outstanding
stock as of April 15, 2002.

         On August 14, 2001, we completed the divestiture of our Plasma
Operations located in Melville, New York to Precision Pharma Services, Inc.
("Precision"), a newly-formed company owned by management of the Plasma
Operations and Ampersand. The Plasma Operations were
responsible for producing intermediate plasma fractions for Bayer and for viral
inactivation of transfusion plasma for the Red Cross. The total value of the
transaction was approximately $34.0 million, and the net book value of the
assets we divested to Precision was $39.1 million.

         We entered into a consulting agreement in October 2000 with Dr.
Ackerman, Chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Scientific Officer. Under
the terms of this agreement which renews annually, Dr. Ackerman received a total
of $0.1 million for his consulting services in Fiscal Year 2001. During Fiscal
Year 2001, we purchased $0.1 million in processing services from a company in
which Dr. Ackerman is an officer and an investor and in which Ampersand is also
an investor.
