Second Quarter 2009 Operating Results Discussion

The company reported year over year ICG sales decline was driven by 22% lower BioZ sales, partially offset by 8% growth in recurring sensor revenue. Sensor revenue grew 11% sequentially from first quarter 2009 to $1.9 million, recording the third consecutive quarter of sensor growth, averaging 10% growth over the three quarters. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 71% to 67% in the second quarter of 2009, largely due to a $3,000, or 10% decline in the average BioZ unit sales price in the direct domestic market resulting from a discount sales promotion offered during the second quarter. Operating expenses were essentially unchanged at $4.9 million compared with second quarter 2008. The second quarter of 2009 included approximately $250,000 of merger transaction-related expenses. Operating cash use was $340,000, an improvement of 31%, or $150,000, from $490,000 in the same quarter of 2008.
