Highlight of Business Operations:

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, domestic XTRAC laser sales were $128,200 and $638,305, respectively. There were 4 and 14 lasers sold during these periods, respectively. We sell the laser directly to the customer for certain reasons, including the costs of logistical support and customer preference as well as a means of addressing under-performing accounts while preserving the vendor-customer relationship. We believe that we are able to reach, at reasonable margins, a sector of the laser market that is better suited to a sale model than a per-procedure, or consignment, model.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 revenues were $1,244,373 compared to $1,416,154 in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
