Revenue for fiscal 2006 totaled $1,789,546 compared to $1,182,005 in the prior year ended June 30, 2005, which represents a 51% increase. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,272,742 for fiscal 2006, or $(0.04) per share, compared with a net loss of $1,455,228 for fiscal 2005, or $(0.05) per share.

"As previously reported, the disappointing financial results are due to a decline in the number of customers converting their CVProfilor rental agreements to purchases and the longer than anticipated time it has been taking for customers to make a purchase decision -- a factor likely to continue for the next few quarters," said Mark N. Schwartz, Chairman and CEO.
