Net revenues in the third quarter of 2009 totaled $2,134,000 an 18% decrease from prior year third quarter net revenues of $2,618,000.

Net revenues in the first nine months of 2009 totaled $7,222,000, a 26% decrease from net revenues of $9,719,000 in the first nine months of 2008. Laser sales decreased $1,832,000 and handpiece sales decreased $786,000 as compared to the prior year nine month period.
"We continue to make progress in our efforts to re-engage the cardiology community and to refocus our sales force on utilization of previously installed lasers. We are taking the right steps to increase our core TMR business," said Paul McCormick, Executive Chairman. He continued, "At the same time we are stepping up our investment in research and development as we prepare to initiate a U.S. clinical trial for our PHOENIX(TM) Combination Delivery System, which permits the intramyocardial delivery of both TMR and stem cells. Based upon our recent meeting with the FDA we expect to make our IDE submission by the end of the year."
