Our joint health products consist of ORTHOVISC, ORTHOVISC mini and

MONOVISC, the latter two of which are currently only available outside the

United States. Revenue from joint health products increased $803,211, or 16.9%,

in the second quarter of 2009 from the second quarter of 2008. For the six

months ended June 30, 2009, joint health product sales increased $1,830,673, or

20.6% compared with the same period in 2008. The improvement in joint health

product revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily

due to increases in domestic ORTHOVISC and international MONOVISC revenue. Our

U.S. joint health product revenue in the second quarter of 2009 totaled

$4,096,281, compared to $3,193,897 in the same period last year, an increase of

28.3%. Our U.S. joint health product revenue for the six months ended June 30,

2009 totaled $7,759,483, compared to $6,480,770 in the same period last year, an

increase of 19.7%. The increase reflects DePuy Mitek\'s underlying sales

increases to end-users of 32.6% and 31.8% for the three and six months ended

June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, reflecting their increased

marketing efforts. International joint health product revenue in the second

quarter of 2009 decreased 6.3% to $1,472,404, from $1,571,577 in the second

quarter last year. International joint health product revenue in the six months

ended June 30, 2009 increased 22.9% to $2,958,844, from $2,406,884 in the same

period last year. The decrease in international revenue in the second quarter of

2009 was primarily due to decreased product shipments to Turkey and Italy. The

increase in international revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was

due to increased product shipments to France, Turkey, Egypt, and Hungary. We

expect joint health product revenue to increase in 2009 compared to 2008, both

domestically and internationally.



Licensing, milestone and contract revenue. Licensing, milestone and

contract revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $752,913 compared to

$681,253 for the same period last year. For the six month period ended June 30,

2009, licensing, milestone and contract revenue was $1,434,164 compared to

$1,362,503 for the same period last year. The increase was due to a new product

development contract with an existing distributor. Licensing and milestone

revenue includes the ratable recognition of $27,000,000 in up-front and

milestone payments related to the JNJ agreement. These amounts are being

recognized in income ratably over the ten-year expected life of the agreement,

or $675,000 per quarter through the fourth quarter of 2013.



Cash used in investing activities was $2,565,804 for the six months

ended June 30, 2009, compared to $8,106,719 for the six months ended June 30,

2008. During the first six months in 2009, cash used in investing activities was

due to approximately $2.6 million in capital expenditures related to our new

facility. During the first six months in 2008, cash used in investing activities

was due to approximately $11.6 million in capital expenditures related to our

new facility, partially offset by the maturity in February 2008 of a short-term

tax exempt municipal bond of $3,500,000, which was purchased in February of

2007. We expect our capital expenditures in 2009 to decrease compared to 2008 as

the new facility capital project winds down. The new facility capital project

cost is approximately $32 million (including interior construction, equipment,

furniture and fixtures). At June 30, 2009, there was approximately $2 million of

remaining costs to be spent during the remainder of 2009. Construction commenced

in May 2007 and validation of the facility is expected to be completed in late

2009. We expect to occupy our existing manufacturing facility through the first

quarter of 2010 and begin some manufacturing at the Bedford, Massachusetts

facility in late 2009. There can also be no assurance that we will be successful

in qualifying the new facility under FDA and European Union regulations.



Cash used in financing activities was $792,675 for the first six months

in 2009, which was due to our principal payments on the long-term debt in the

amount of $800,000. This was partially offset by small amounts from employee

stock exercise proceeds and related tax benefits. Cash provided by financing

activities was $8,619,010 for the first six months ended June 30, 2008 as a

result of the $8,000,000 borrowed under the Company\'s unsecured credit facility,

and proceeds of $476,811 from employee stock option exercises, and a tax benefit

from the exercise of stock options of $229,920. This was partially offset by

debt issuance costs of $87,721.
