(3)           Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
Yes x  No o
 
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 estimates are provided with respect to the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010.

Revenue: $14.8 million, which included $8.9 million of sales shipped to Cardinal Health, our distributor, as a part of the First Forward Order described in our prior SEC filings.  This compares to revenue of $4.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  The principal factors for the revenue increase in 2010 are the $8.9 million of sales shipped to Cardinal Health as a part of the First Forward Order, and growth in sales to new customers resulting from increased market penetration.

Gross profit: $7.5 million.  This compares to $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, with the  principal factor in this change being the sales increases described above.

Operating expenses:  $9.7 million.   This compares to $12.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The principal factor in this change was management’s cost reduction and restructuring initiative as described in our prior SEC filing.

As a result, the Company estimates that it will report an operating loss of $2.2 million. This compares to an operating loss of $10.8 million  for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  The principal factors in this change were the increases in gross profit from the sales growth described above along with the significant reduction in operating expenses resulting from management’s cost reduction and restructuring initiative.

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−K.

Results noted in the foregoing estimates for the year ended December 31, 2010 remain subject to further adjustment, and actual results may differ from the estimated amounts.
