Highlight of Business Operations:

Our cost of revenues for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $984,400 (85%) and $2,048,800 (70%) compared to the same periods of fiscal 2008. This decrease is the result of the decrease in net revenues and a decrease in write-downs of inventory in fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2008, the Company wrote down $1,911,000 of slow-moving and/or obsolete inventory as of June 30, 2008, while in fiscal 2009, the inventory write-downs aggregate $250,200.

For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2009, interest income decreased by $12,100 (100%) and $35,600 (78%) compared to the same periods of fiscal 2008. This decrease is the result of lower cash balances and lower interest rates. Write-offs of capital equipment decreased in fiscal 2009 from $129,900 in fiscal 2008 to $49,400.

The decrease in inventory write-downs and expenditures helped the Company to recognize a small net income of $30,700 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $1,116,800 for the fiscal 2008 quarter, while also decreasing the nine-month periods net loss from $2,671,300 in fiscal 2008 to $1,011,000 for fiscal 2009.

While the net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,011,000, the net cash used for operations was only $545,400. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we wrote-off $250,200 of inventory, which increased the net loss but did not affect cash flows. Reductions of accounts receivable resulted in net cash inflows of $109,200 for operations. The liquidating of auction rate securities during January 2009 also resulted in an increase in net cash of $975,000, while the Company used $246,500 for the purchase of capital equipment to prepare for testing of new products.

Although we had a net loss of $2,671,300 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we used net cash of only $40,400, primarily because the net loss included inventory write-downs totaling $1,911,000 and a loss on the disposal of capital equipment no longer in use totaling $129,900. Both these items contributed to the net loss but did not affect cash. In addition, we produced cash from the collection of accounts receivable aggregating $256,900 and from the sale of existing inventory aggregating $166,300. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we also spent $229,400 on capital equipment.

During fiscal 2008, we reduced our inventory by 47%, or $2,077,300, including write-downs of $1,911,000, and have reduced our inventory by an additional 9%, or $132,800, during the first nine months of fiscal 2009. This reduction in fiscal 2009 includes a write-down of $250,200 for slow-moving inventory.
