Highlight of Business Operations:

Product purchases from Double Dove, a Chinese manufacturer, have enabled us to increase manufacturing capacity with little capital outlay and have provided a competitive manufacturing cost. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Double Dove manufactured approximately 69.6% of the units we produced. We believe we could make up any long-term disruption in these purchases by utilizing more of the capacity at the Little Elm facility, except for the 0.5mL insulin syringe, the 2mL, 5mL and 10mL syringes, and the autodisable syringe which altogether comprised about 8.2% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Domestic sales accounted for 75.8% and 96.2% of the revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Domestic revenues decreased 10.0% principally due to lower average selling prices mitigated by higher sales volumes. Domestic unit sales increased 5.9%.
