Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $10,464,809 compared to $10,555,489 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease of $90,680 is due to an increase in laboratory product sales of $811,088, primarily due to an increase in Labcaire products sales. Therapeutic medical device products sales decreased approximately $397,540 and diagnostic medical device products sales decreased approximately $504,228. The decrease in diagnostic medical device products sales was primarily attributable to lower sales of Lysonix and neuroaspirator products, partially offset by increased bone cutter AutoSonix sales.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased to 40.2% in fiscal 2009 from 43.2% in fiscal 2008. Gross profit for medical device products decreased to 46.4% in fiscal 2009 from 48.4% in fiscal 2008. Gross profit for therapeutic medical device products was negatively impacted by an unfavorable product mix due to lower sales of the Neuroaspirator product in the United States. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 32% in fiscal 2009 from 35.7% in fiscal 2008 due to lower margins at Labcaire due to higher costs related to the ISIS units shipped. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 39.7%. Gross margins for medical device products sales increased to 49.0% in the 2009 period from 45.8% in the 2008 period. The increase was due to a favorable product mix in both therapeutic and diagnostic product sales. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 29.3% in the 2009 period from 30.1% in the 2008 period.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses decreased $550,346 to $6,764,338 (17% of net
sales) in fiscal 2009 from $7,314,684 (17.8% of net sales) in fiscal 2008.
Laboratory and scientific products selling expenses decreased approximately
$56,000, predominately due to decreased selling expenses at Labcaire. Selling
expenses for therapeutic medical device products decreased approximately
$494,346, principally due reduced expenses related to advertising trade shows
and exhibitions. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009
increased $293,885 to $2,335,044 (22.3% of net sales) from $2,041,159 (19.3% of
net sales) in the three months ended June 30, 2008. Selling expenses related to
therapeutic medical device products sales decreased approximately $198,263 due
to lower marketing and staffing expenses. Laboratory and scientific products
selling expenses increased approximately $492,148, principally due to the
transferring of demo equipment at Labcaire to general inventory.
General and administrative expenses: Total corporate and unallocated expenses
decreased $1,509,270 in fiscal 2009 to $9,009,280 from $10,518,550 in fiscal
2008. General and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal 2009 principally
due to decreased employee related expenses of $619,772, the favorable impact of
foreign exchange on expenses of $583,587, and a decrease in other costs of
$28,241. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2009 decreased $860,382 to $2,061,944 from $2,922,326 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily related to reduced staffing costs in
the U.S. and lower staffing costs at Misonix, Ltd. and UKHIFU of $364,069, lower
bad debt of $145,726, decreased shareholder relations expense of $78,934, lower
consulting expenses of $50,727, legal expenses of $40,015 and other expenses of
$6,911.
Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses decreased
$308,727 to $2,450,010 in fiscal 2009 from $2,758,737 in fiscal 2008. Research
and development expenses for medical device products decreased $210,622, this
decrease is almost entirely related to a milestone charge of $210,000 from Focus
related to the HIFU kidney cancer research project. Laboratory and scientific
products research and development expenses decreased $98,105 related to lower
spending at Labcaire. Research and development expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 decreased $29,384 to $553,640 from $583,024 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008. Medical device products research and development
costs decreased $25,326 and expenses for laboratory and scientific products
decreased $4,058.
Other income: Other income increased $1,711,034 in fiscal 2009 to $1,816,618
from $105,584 in fiscal 2008. The increase in other income is primarily related
to the sale of the Company's equity position in Focus, $1,516,866, and lower
interest expense of $166,176. Other income (expense) increased $265,219 to
$232,853 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $(32,366) for the three
months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is due to gains on the disposal of
equipment of approximately $100,000, favorable foreign exchange of $68,000,
lower interest expense of $64,000 and higher interest income of $25,000.
Income taxes: In fiscal 2009 the Company decreased the valuation allowance
related to deferred tax assets by approximately $545,000 net which decreased
income tax expense to an effective tax rate of 24.6%. The valuation allowance
was reduced due to the sale of the Company's Ultrasonics Laboratory Products
business to iSonix for a cash payment of $3.5 million and gain on sale of
$2.6 million. A portion of the valuation allowance established in prior years
was due to no identified capital gain to offset the capital losses recorded on
the write down of Hearing Innovations and Focus equity. Upon recording the
capital gain on the sale of the Company's Ultrasonic Laboratory Products
business, the valuation allowance was reversed to the extent of offsetting the
capital gain against the capital losses. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2008
of 23.7% was favorably impacted by an additional $98,000 of Research and
Experimentation Credits provided by the enactment of the Tax Relief and
Healthcare Act of 2006 (HR6111) which retroactively extended the tax credit for
Research and Experimentation expenditures. The fiscal 2008 effective income tax
rate differs from the statutory rate due to the impact of permanent differences
related to SFAS123R stock-based compensation and non-deductible entertainment
expenses on taxable income. In addition, the $150,000 of income from the
realization of a previously written off debt from Focus was not tax effected
because the Company did not record an income tax benefit when the debt was
originally written off.

The following amounts relate to the Ultrasonic Laboratory Products business that
have been segregated from the Company's continuing operations and are reported

Revolving Credit Facilities
On December 29, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries, Sonora and Hearing
Innovations (the Company, Sonora and Hearing Innovations collectively referred
to as the "Borrowers") and Wells Fargo Bank entered into a (i) Credit and
Security Agreement and a (ii) Credit and Security Agreement Export-Import
Subfacility (collectively referred to as the "Credit Agreements"). The aggregate
credit limit under the Credit Agreements is $8,000,000 consisting of a revolving
facility in the amount of up to $8,000,000. Up to $1,000,000 of the revolving
facility is available under the Export-Import Agreement as a subfacility for
Export-Import working capital financing. All credit facilities under the Credit
Agreements mature on December 29, 2009. Payment of amounts outstanding under the
Credit Agreements may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
(as defined in the Credit Agreements). All loans and advances under the Credit
Agreements are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the
Borrowers' accounts receivable, letter-of-credit rights, and all other business
assets. The Borrowers have the right to terminate or reduce the credit facility
prior to December 29, 2009 by paying a fee based on the aggregate credit limit
(or reduction, as the case may be) as follows: (i) during year one of the Credit
Agreements, 3%; (ii) during year two of the Credit Agreements, 2%; and
(iii) during year three of the Credit Agreements, 1%.
The Credit Agreements, as amended, contain financial covenants requiring that
the Borrowers (i) on a consolidated basis have a Net Income (as defined in the
Credit Agreements) of not less than (a) $100,000 for the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2009 and (b) $130,000 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009 and
(ii) not incur or contract to incur Capital Expenditures (as defined in the
Credit Agreements) of more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year
or more than $1,000,000 in any one transaction. At June 30, 2009, the Borrowers
were in compliance with these covenants.
The available amount under the Credit Agreements is the lesser of $8,000,000 or
the amount calculated under the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit
Agreements). The Borrowers must maintain a minimum outstanding amount of
$1,250,000 under the Credit Agreements at all times and pay a fee equal to the
interest rate set forth on any such shortfall. Interest on amounts borrowed
under the Credit Agreements is payable at Wells Fargo's prime rate of interest
plus 1% per annum floating, payable monthly in arrears. The default rate of
interest is 3% higher than the rate otherwise payable. A fee of 1/2 % per annum
on the Unused Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreements) is payable monthly in
arrears. At June 30, 2009, the balance outstanding under the Credit Agreement
was $2,633,059 and an additional $511,290 was available under this line of
credit.
Labcaire has a debt purchase agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland. The
amount of this facility bears interest at the bank's base rate plus 2% and
fluctuates based upon the outstanding United Kingdom and European receivables.
The agreement expires September 30, 2010. The agreement covers all United
Kingdom and European sales. At June 30, 2009, the balance outstanding under this
credit facility was $1,820,891 and Labcaire was in compliance with all financial
covenants.
Labcaire had an overdraft facility with Lloyds Bank, which was secured by the
Labcaire building. All amounts borrowed under the facility were paid when the
Labcaire building was sold and the overdraft facility was cancelled.
Commitments
The Company has commitments under a revolving credit facility, note payable and capital and operating leases that will be funded from operating sources. At June 30, 2009, the Company's contractual cash obligations and commitments relating to the revolving credit facilities, note payable and capital and operating leases are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies:
General: Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the SEC in
December 2001, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical
accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of the financial
statements. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
this Annual Report includes a summary of the Company's significant accounting
policies and methods used in the preparation of its financial statements. The
Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations is based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the
Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, management
evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts,
inventories, goodwill, property, plant and equipment and income taxes.
Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. The Company believes that the following are our more
critical estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Accounts receivable,
principally trade, are generally due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at
amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon
payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by a
review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors
aging reports, collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision
for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses
