rent expense as well as expenses related to investor relations. When compared with the fiscal 2008 first quarter, SG&A was up 2.6%. SG&A is expected to be about $4.5 million to $4.6 million for fiscal year 2008, exclusive of any non-cash stock-based compensation expense (SFAS 123R).

Dr. Kunik added, "Although we remain focused on controlling our overhead, we have increased our investment in sales and marketing in order to address what we believe to be significant sales opportunities in multiple markets. The increased sales and marketing spending is directed toward accelerating our revenue growth and fully capitalize on what we believe to be a one billion dollar emerging market."

Operating margin was 9.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2007, compared with 12.3% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The reduction in the operating margin on a quarter over quarter basis was due to increases in SG&A, as noted above. However, sequentially, operating income increased 61% on just an 11% increase in revenue. Additionally, operating margin improved 290 basis points from the sequential quarter demonstrating significant operating leverage and the opportunity for strong earnings growth as sales continue to increase.

For the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company generated net income of $380 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $421 thousand, or $0.04 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The diluted earnings per share were adversely affected by a significant increase in the diluted shares outstanding as a result of stock options exercised.

Six-Month Review

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2007, revenue was $7.1 million, a 16% increase compared with revenue of $6.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007. Customer billings for the same period were $7.4 million in fiscal 2008 and $6.3 million in fiscal 2007, an increase of 17%.
