Highlight of Business Operations:

Cost of goods sold in the ECD business segment totaled $2,822,000 or 91.2% of product revenue, for the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $2,454,000 or 72.4% of product revenue, for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of product revenue is contributed to an inventory write-off at the Drew Dallas facility of approximately $480,000 related to the continuing process of outsourcing manufacturing and closing the facility.

Consolidated cost of goods sold totaled approximately $7,852,000, or 63.8% of product revenue, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $8,266,000, or 65.2% of product revenue, for the same period last fiscal year.

Cost of goods sold in the ECD business segment totaled $5,166,000, or 77.0% of product revenue, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $5,173,000, or 73.6% product revenue, for the same period last fiscal year. Margins on ECDs instruments continue to range between 0% and 20% depending on the product. These lower margin sales are offset by the margins achieved on reagent sales which typically range from 50% to 75%. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percent of product revenue is related to an inventory write-off at our Dallas facility offset by the relative mix of these product groups during the six-month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period last year.
