If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The following unaudited estimates are provided with respect to the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Revenue:  During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the number of hospitals using our products grew to approximately 70 and we lost no customers.  Although not necessarily proportional to future revenues, the number of hospitals using our products is a good indicator of our underlying business.  Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $1.9 million, which included $0.6 million of revenues from the delivery to our distributor as part of a $10.0 million inventory stocking arrangement entered into in late 2009 (see our previous SEC filings for additional detail).  Excluding the effect of this inventory stocking arrangement, revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 would have been $1.3 million.  This compares with revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 of $2.4 million, which included approximately $1.0 million of revenues from the delivery under this same stocking arrangement.  Excluding the effect of this inventory stocking arrangement, revenue for the first quarter of 2010 would have been $1.3 million.  Despite approximately 20 additional hospitals using our solution by the end of the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, and losing no customers during that time period, our reported revenues for the first quarter of 2011 did not grow as compared to the first quarter of 2010.  Primary contributing factors included: 1) the large amount of revenues from the inventory stocking arrangement in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2011, 2) a negative effect on our reported revenues during the first quarter of 2011 caused by the temporary shutdown of our contract manufacturer during the last week of the quarter ended March 31, 2011 due to it being their fiscal yearend and them stopping all shipping activities in order to physically count inventories and upgrade their IT systems which resulted in their inability to ship $0.4 million worth of our product at the quarter end to meet sales orders we had received, and 3) the effect of certain inventory management practices of our distributor, Cardinal Health, during the first quarter of 2011, as we have described in our  previous SEC filings.

Gross profit:  $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  This compared to $1.3 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, with the principal factor in this change being the increased level of First Forward Order sales described above.

 
 

 
 
Operating expenses:  $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.   This compared to $2.7 million for the  quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The principal factor in this change was management’s cost reduction and restructuring initiative as described in our previous SEC filings.

As a result, the Company estimates that it will report an operating loss of $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This compares to an operating loss of $1.4 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The principal factor in this change was the significant reduction in operating expenses resulting from management’s cost reduction and restructuring initiative as discussed in our previous SEC filings.

The Company is not able to able to provide definitive estimates of other operational measures until the Company completes its preparation and review of the financial statements and related disclosures that need to be included in the Form 10−Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Results noted in the foregoing estimates for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 remain subject to further adjustment, and actual results may differ from the estimated amounts.
