"I believe the strong vote in favor of passing the proposal reflects investors' optimism regarding our unique position within the chemical detection industry. As our technology is at commercialization, we have been afforded the opportunity to aggressively market our capability while controlling costs and capturing full earnings potential. As of today, the strengthened financial condition of the Company now allows us to provide forward looking financial guidance for the first time. The Company anticipates achieving approximately $7.7 million in revenues for its 2008 fiscal year and despite forecasting a net operating loss, expects that its fourth quarter is to generate both positive earnings and cash flow."
