<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December&nbsp;30, 2001 and December
31, 2000 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Arthur Andersen
LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of that firm as experts in
auditing and accounting in giving such reports. The Registrant has not been
able to obtain, after reasonable efforts, the written consent of Arthur
Andersen to the inclusion of its report in this Registration Statement, and the
Registrant has not filed that consent in reliance of Rule&nbsp;437a promulgated
under the Securities Act.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because Arthur Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of its report in
this Registration Statement, a person&#146;s ability to assert claims against Arthur
Andersen may be limited. In particular, because of this lack of consent, one
will not be able to sue Arthur Andersen under Section&nbsp;11(a)(4) of the
Securities Act for untrue statements of a material fact, if any, contained in
the financial statements required to be in those financial statements.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Item&nbsp;6. &nbsp;&nbsp; Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification of officers and directors of the Registrant is governed by
Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
&#147;DGCL&#148;) and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Registrant. Among other things, the DGCL permits indemnification of a director,
officer, employee or agent in civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
actions, suits or proceedings (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) to which such person is a party or is threatened to be made a
party by reason of the fact of such relationship with the corporation or the
fact that such person is or was serving in a similar capacity with another
entity at the request of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No indemnification may be made in any such suit to any person adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court
of Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines that,
despite the adjudication of liability, such person is under all circumstances,
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court
shall deem proper. Under the DGCL, to the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of
any action, suit or proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein (whether
or not the suit is brought by or in the right of the corporation), he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him. In all cases in which indemnification is permitted
(unless ordered by a court), it may be made by the corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the applicable
standard of conduct has been met by the party to be indemnified. The
determination must be made (1)&nbsp;by a majority vote of the directors who were not
parties to the action even though less than a quorum, (2)&nbsp;by a committee of
such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, (3)&nbsp;if there
are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (4)&nbsp;by the stockholders.

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The statute authorizes the corporation to pay expenses incurred by an officer
or director in advance of a final disposition of a proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to whom the advance will be made,
to repay the advances if it shall ultimately be determined that he was not
entitled to indemnification. The DGCL provides that indemnification and
advancement of expenses permitted thereunder are not to be exclusive of any
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise. The DGCL also authorizes the corporation to purchase
and maintain liability insurance on behalf of its directors, officers,
employees and agents regardless of whether the corporation would have the
statutory power to indemnify such persons against the liabilities insured.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, as
amended (the &#147;Certificate&#148;), provides that no director of the Registrant shall
be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for paying a dividend or
approving a stock repurchase in violation of Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit or (v)&nbsp;for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when the
provisions become effective.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Certificate provides that directors, officers and others shall
be indemnified to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as in effect (or,
to the extent indemnification is broadened, as it may be amended), against any
and all expense, liability and loss (including settlement) reasonably incurred
or suffered by such person in connection with such service. The Certificate
further provides that, to the extent permitted by law, expenses so incurred by
any such person in defending any such proceeding shall, at his request, be paid
by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action or
proceeding.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate provides that the right to indemnification and the payment of
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition
shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or acquire
under any law, provision of By-laws or otherwise.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to indemnification agreements with certain of its executive officers
and directors the Registrant has agreed to indemnify such persons (including
their respective heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred
in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which
such executive officer or director may be involved by reason of having been a
director or officer of the Registrant or any subsidiary thereof.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability and company
reimbursement insurance which, among other things (i)&nbsp;provides for payment on
behalf of its officers and directors against loss as defined in the policy
stemming from acts committed by directors and officers in their capacity as
such and (ii)&nbsp;provides for payment on behalf of the Registrant against such
loss but only when the Registrant shall be required or permitted to indemnify
directors or officers for such loss pursuant to statutory or common law or
pursuant to duly effective certificate of incorporation or by-law provisions.

indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In accordance with
the instructions of Part I of Form S-8, such documents will not be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") either as part of
this Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements
pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act. These documents and the documents
incorporated by reference pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this Registration

of the Securities Act.

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 relates to 100,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Registrant
to be issued pursuant to the Serologicals Corporation UK Share Incentive Plan.
Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents, which have been filed by the Registrant with the
Commission, are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Commission on March 26, 2003 for the period ended December 29, 2002.

Form 8-A filed on May 17, 1995 pursuant to Section 12(g) of the

In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to

a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
a part hereof from the time of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of
this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or
in any other subsequently filed document which also is incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Additional Information Regarding Arthur Andersen LLP.
The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 30, 2001 and December
31, 2000 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Arthur Andersen
LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of that firm as experts in
auditing and accounting in giving such reports. The Registrant has not been
able to obtain, after reasonable efforts, the written consent of Arthur
Andersen to the inclusion of its report in this Registration Statement, and the
Registrant has not filed that consent in reliance of Rule 437a promulgated
under the Securities Act.
Because Arthur Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of its report in
this Registration Statement, a person's ability to assert claims against Arthur
Andersen may be limited. In particular, because of this lack of consent, one
will not be able to sue Arthur Andersen under Section 11(a)(4) of the
Securities Act for untrue statements of a material fact, if any, contained in
the financial statements required to be in those financial statements.
Item 4.    Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.    Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The indemnification of officers and directors of the Registrant is governed by
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"DGCL") and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Registrant. Among other things, the DGCL permits indemnification of a director,
officer, employee or agent in civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
actions, suits or proceedings (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) to which such person is a party or is threatened to be made a
party by reason of the fact of such relationship with the corporation or the
fact that such person is or was serving in a similar capacity with another
entity at the request of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
No indemnification may be made in any such suit to any person adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court
of Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines that,
despite the adjudication of liability, such person is under all circumstances,
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court
shall deem proper. Under the DGCL, to the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of
any action, suit or proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein (whether
or not the suit is brought by or in the right of the corporation), he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him. In all cases in which indemnification is permitted
(unless ordered by a court), it may be made by the corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the applicable
standard of conduct has been met by the party to be indemnified. The
determination must be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who were not
parties to the action even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of
such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, (3) if there
are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

Table of Contents
The statute authorizes the corporation to pay expenses incurred by an officer
or director in advance of a final disposition of a proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to whom the advance will be made,
to repay the advances if it shall ultimately be determined that he was not
entitled to indemnification. The DGCL provides that indemnification and
advancement of expenses permitted thereunder are not to be exclusive of any
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise. The DGCL also authorizes the corporation to purchase
and maintain liability insurance on behalf of its directors, officers,
employees and agents regardless of whether the corporation would have the
statutory power to indemnify such persons against the liabilities insured.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, as
amended (the "Certificate"), provides that no director of the Registrant shall
be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for paying a dividend or
approving a stock repurchase in violation of Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit or (v) for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when the
provisions become effective.
In addition, the Certificate provides that directors, officers and others shall
be indemnified to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as in effect (or,
to the extent indemnification is broadened, as it may be amended), against any
and all expense, liability and loss (including settlement) reasonably incurred
or suffered by such person in connection with such service. The Certificate
further provides that, to the extent permitted by law, expenses so incurred by
any such person in defending any such proceeding shall, at his request, be paid
by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action or
proceeding.
The Certificate provides that the right to indemnification and the payment of
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition
shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or acquire
under any law, provision of By-laws or otherwise.
Pursuant to indemnification agreements with certain of its executive officers
and directors the Registrant has agreed to indemnify such persons (including
their respective heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred
in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which
such executive officer or director may be involved by reason of having been a
director or officer of the Registrant or any subsidiary thereof.
The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability and company
reimbursement insurance which, among other things (i) provides for payment on
behalf of its officers and directors against loss as defined in the policy
stemming from acts committed by directors and officers in their capacity as
such and (ii) provides for payment on behalf of the Registrant against such
loss but only when the Registrant shall be required or permitted to indemnify
directors or officers for such loss pursuant to statutory or common law or
pursuant to duly effective certificate of incorporation or by-law provisions.

Item 9.    Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by
section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which
was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the change in volume and price represent no more than a
20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration
Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (ii) do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or S-8 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.

Table of Contents
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
