The Company recorded net income of $104 thousand or $.02 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to net income of $19 thousand or $.00 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

During the quarter, our AEM(R) monitoring equipment was demonstrated in a special syndicated television news feature that aired in cities nationwide. The topic of the feature was the risk of stray energy burns during laparoscopic surgery.”
