Highlight of Business Operations:

Revenue. Revenue increased 47% to $13.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $9.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. Domestic sales increased 40% to $11.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $8.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in domestic sales was primarily due to increased productivity of our sales representatives, as well as the introduction of two new Powerlink System products in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the marketing of IntuiTrak, our new system to deliver and deploy the Powerlink System, in the first quarter of 2009.

Revenue. Revenue increased 44% to $38.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $27.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Domestic sales increased 44% to $32.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $22.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in domestic sales was due to the increased productivity of our sales force, the introduction of new products including Powerlink XL, Powerlink XL Express, and the IntuiTrak delivery system, and increased physician acceptance of the Powerlink System.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense decreased 13% to $6.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $7.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to $700,000 in costs associated with our chief executive officer succession, which occurred in May 2008, and significant legal fees, as previously discussed, in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, offset by higher stock based compensation charges and incentive compensation accruals based on performance metrics for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred net losses of $1.8 million. As of September 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $145.5 million. Historically, we have relied on the sale and issuance of equity securities to provide a significant portion of funding for our operations. In August 2009, we completed a sale of our common stock that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $14.7 million.

In February 2007, we entered into a credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, whereby we may borrow up to $5.0 million under a revolving line of credit. All outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit bear interest at a variable rate equal to the lenders prime rate plus 0.5%, which is payable on a monthly basis. The unused portion is subject to an unused revolving line facility fee, payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent per annum of the average unused portion of the revolving line of credit, as determined by SVB. The credit facility is collateralized by all of our assets with the exception of our intellectual property. All amounts owing under the revolving line of credit become due and payable in July 2010. In September 2008, we drew down $2.0 million. As of September 30, 2009, we re-paid the principal balance of $2.0 million and all accrued interest, leaving $0 in outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

In July 2008, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility which added a term loan whereby we may borrow up to $3.0 million. In September 2008, we drew the entire $3.0 million available under the term loan. Interest on the term loan is calculated at a variable rate equal to the lenders prime rate plus 1.0%, which is payable on a monthly basis. The term loan principal is due in 36 monthly installments which began in April 2009. We made principal payments of $2.8 million and $3.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, we re-paid all outstanding principal and interest, leaving $0 in outstanding borrowings under the term loan.
