The increase in DIS gross profit is primarily due to decreased labor, radiopharmaceutical, depreciation, and maintenance costs.

cash used in investing activities amounted to $3.2 million in 2009 and is primarily due to net purchases of securities available-for-sale, partially offset by the net proceeds from sales of fixed assets associated with our restructuring initiative. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to approximately $0.8 million in 2009, which primarily represents the repurchase of our common stock under a Rule 10b-18 plan. On February 4, 2009, our board of directors authorized a stock buyback program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $2.0 million of our issued and outstanding common shares. The timing of stock repurchases and the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased has been, and will be made, in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will depend upon market conditions, applicable legal and contractual requirements, and other factors. Purchases under this program totaled $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Highlight of Business Operations:
Our consolidated revenues were $53.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2009), which represented a decrease of $5.2 million, or 8.9%, over the comparable prior year period (2008) due to a decrease in revenue within both the Product and DIS segments. DIS revenue decreased $1.7 million, or 4.1%, due to the sale or closure of several underperforming locations in connection with our restructuring plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008. Product revenues decreased $3.5 million, or 21.2%, as economic factors and capital budget constraints of potential buyers contributed to a decline in the number of cameras sold from 54 cameras in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 35 cameras in the same period of 2009, and a shift in our gamma camera sales mix to a larger number of refurbished cameras. The decline in our camera sales revenues was partially mitigated by a 13.1% increase in maintenance contract revenues in 2009 compared to 2008.DIS.
