"Our cash generation remains excellent, we have generated $5.2 million in cash from operations for the year to date and our cash balance now stands at $7.9 million and we have reduced our debt from $6.0 million to $3.5 million" stated Mr. Theodore A. Boutacoff, President and CEO. "We continue to see the benefits of creating a very efficient and scalable business."
"We have recorded our third consecutive quarter of profitability which is an outstanding achievement given the current economy. Of particular note, we have been profitable at the operating income level for three consecutive quarters, generating $1.0 million in operating income this quarter and $1.7 million year to date. Although our revenues were down, the majority of the decrease was in our aesthetics and OEM businesses and we were pleased to see a rebound in demand for ophthalmology systems domestically. Our margins have improved and we are controlling our operating expenses well."
"Looking forward, the outlook for our business is improving. We had a very successful American Academy of Ophthalmology where we introduced two new products; the Dual Port IQ 532 green laser system and the Modular Multi-wavelength laser solution. In addition, our recently introduced IQ 577 yellow laser was featured in a number of physician presentations which outlined the significant clinical and patient benefits of the product. We believe these products and their acceptance, together with other initiatives we are undertaking, provide us with growth opportunities for 2010."
