Wayne Kay, Chief Executive Officer. ?Continued strong demand for our cardiac products in China resulted in an increase in our clinical products revenue for the quarter.

Operating expenditures for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased 12% to $2,123,585 from $2,413,023 for the same period in 2009. Operating expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 increased 3% to $4,871,200 from $4,739,360 for the same period in 2009.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported a loss of $1,868,104 or $0.07 and $4,528,152 or $0.18 per share, respectively, compared to a loss of $1,898,987 or $0.09 and $3,630,402 or $0.19 for the same period in 2009. The marginal decrease in the loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period for the prior year, is attributed to lower operating expenses across all departments and an increase in margin from product sales offset by lower contract service fees and revenue from collaborative research arrangements. The increase in the loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period for the prior year, is the result of significantly lower contract service fees and revenue from collaborative research arrangement in the current year.
