NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information with respect to interim periods is unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2005.

The balance sheet at June 30, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.
 
2. Net Income Per Share
 
Basic income per common share excludes any dilution. It is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if options to purchase common stock were exercised. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

4. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based employee and outside directors’ compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (“SFAS No. 123”) and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”, which was released in December 2002 as an amendment of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement 123R, Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”) in December 2004. FAS 123R requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value and recognize such costs in the statement of operations. FAS 123R is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Management is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 123R and has not determined the impact of this statement on the consolidated financial statements.

The notes are secured by a lien on all of Hearing Innovations’ right, title and interest in accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and processes of specified products whether now existing or arising after the date of these agreements. The loan agreements contain warrants to acquire an aggregate of 62,383 shares of Hearing Innovations common stock, at the option of the Company, at a cost of $.20 per share. These warrants, which are deemed nominal in value, expire in December 2005. The Company recorded an allowance against the entire balance and accrued interest due for the period ended March 31, 2005. Hearing Innovations suspended operations in April 2004 and filed for bankruptcy in November 2004.

In connection with the adoption of FASB Interpretation 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46”) the Company consolidated Hearing Innovations in its March 31, 2004 balance sheet as the entity was determined to be a Variable Interest Entity and the Company is its primary beneficiary. The Company elected to record the adoption of FIN 46 as a cumulative effect of an accounting change. Consolidating Hearing Innovations did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Since Hearing Innovations is now consolidated, loans of $62,383 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 are eliminated in consolidation.

On July 14, 2004, Hearing Innovations sent all shareholders and creditors a plan for reorganization and disclosure statement. Hearing Innovations filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in November 2004 and a plan was confirmed in January 2005. During February 2005, the Company funded Hearing Innovations with $150,000 for the reorganization plan. Once the plan is fully consummated, the Company will own 100% of the equity in Hearing Innovations.

MISONIX, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Nine months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Net sales: Net sales of the Company's medical device products and laboratory and scientific products increased $3,754,629 to $32,016,885 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from $28,262,256 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. This difference in net sales is due to an increase in sales of medical device products of $1,546,624 to $17,317,800 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from $15,771,176 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. This difference in net sales is also due to an increase in sales of laboratory and scientific products of $2,208,005 to $14,699,085 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from $12,491,080 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in sales of medical device products was due to an increase in therapeutic medical device products shipments of $282,134 and an increase in sales of diagnostic medical device products of $1,264,490, both due to increased customer demand for several diagnostic and therapeutic medical device products. The increase in sales of diagnostic medical device products was not attributable to a single customer, distributor or any other specific factors. The remaining increase in sales of therapeutic medical device products is due to increased demand for several products. The increase in sales of laboratory and scientific products is due to an increase in Labcaire sales of $1,313,265, sales of wet scrubber products of $564,126 and ductless fume enclosure products of $383,855 partially offset by a decrease in laboratory ultrasonic products sales of $53,241. The increase in Labcaire sales is primarily due to the strengthening of the English Pound and an increase in demand for the Guardian (endoscopic cleaning) product. The increase in sales of wet scrubber products is due to increased demand from semiconductor and non-semiconductor manufacturers of process related products. The increase in sales of ductless fume enclosure products is due to an increase in demand relating to new clean air standards for the state of California for the manufacturing process. The decrease in sales of laboratory ultrasonic products is due to decreased demand for such products. Export sales from the United States are remitted in U.S. Dollars and export sales for Labcaire are remitted in English Pounds. During the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had foreign net sales of $12,210,859 and $9,515,495, respectively, representing 38% and 34% of net sales for such years, respectively. The increase in foreign sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2004 is substantially due to increased sales of therapeutic medical device products in Europe and increased Labcaire product sales. In March 2004, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Focus Surgery, Inc. (“Focus Surgery”) for the sale of the Sonablate 500 for the treatment of prostate cancer and other prostatic tumors in the geographic areas of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia. The agreement is for a term of two years, with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms as long as minimum quantities are purchased. Labcaire represented 70% and 75% of foreign net sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The remaining 30% and 25% represents net foreign sales remitted in U.S. Dollars during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Approximately 27% of the Company’s revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 were received in English Pounds. To the extent that the Company’s revenues are generated in English Pounds, its operating results were translated for reporting purposes into U.S. Dollars using weighted average rates of 1.86 and 1.77 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A strengthening of the English Pound, in relation to the U.S. Dollar, will have the effect of increasing reported revenues and profits, while a weakening of the English Pound will have the opposite effect. Since the Company’s operations in England generally set prices and bids for contracts in English Pounds, a strengthening of the English Pound, while increasing the value of its UK assets, might place the Company at a pricing disadvantage in bidding for work from manufacturers based overseas. The Company collects its receivables in the currency the subsidiary resides in. The Company has not engaged in foreign currency hedging transactions, which include forward exchange agreements.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased to 41.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from 42.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Gross profit for medical device products decreased to 44.4% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from 44.8% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in gross profit for medical device products was impacted by an unfavorable mix of sales of therapeutic medical device products and diagnostic medical device products and lower volume. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 38.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from 40.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in gross profit for laboratory and scientific products is predominantly due to a decrease in gross profit margin for ductless fume enclosure products due to discounting offset by an increase in gross profit margins for wet scrubber products due to increased volume. The Company manufactures and sells both medical device products and laboratory and scientific products with a wide range of product costs and gross margin dollars as a percentage of revenues.

Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $1,125,239 to $4,407,551 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from $3,282,312 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Medical device products selling expenses increased $869,242, predominantly due to additional sales personnel and marketing efforts for European distribution of the Sonablate 500 product used to treat prostate cancer and other prostatic afflictions. Laboratory and scientific products selling expenses increased $255,997, predominantly due to an increase in marketing expenses for Labcaire’s Guardian endoscopic cleaning product and the strengthening of the English Pound.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased $323,271 from $5,703,640 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 to $6,026,911 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to increased consulting expense related to enhancing the Company’s quality control system to identify key quality metrics which are designed to improve first pass yields and other manufacturing efficiency measurements, increased stockholder relations expenses, accounting fees and rent expense for a new location for Sonora Medical Systems.

Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $822,192 from $1,717,878 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 to $2,540,070 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. Medical device products research and development expenses increased $696,658 predominantly due to increased research and development efforts for a product to treat liver and kidney cancer and the upgrade of our ultrasonic platform to a more modern digital format. Laboratory and scientific products research and development expenses increased $125,534, predominantly due to increased research and development efforts in various product enhancements and new product designs.

Other income (expense): Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 was $549,004 as compared to $760,244 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in royalty income. The Company received an additional royalty payment for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 of approximately $403,000, which was based upon a review of United States Surgical records that determined that royalties were due for prior years. The review showed that United States Surgical owed (and subsequently paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2004) royalties due on a product that was not included in the original royalty computation.

Income taxes: The effective tax rate is 35.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to an effective tax rate of 44.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in the consolidated effective tax rate was due to the increase in both foreign sales and in anticipated research and development credits.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Net sales: Net sales of the Company's medical device products and laboratory and scientific products increased $533,358 to $10,879,607 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $10,346,249 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This difference is due to an increase in sales of laboratory and scientific products of $907,481 to $5,213,186 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $4,305,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in laboratory and scientific products sales was partially offset by a 6.2% decrease in sales of medical device products of $374,123 to $5,666,421 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $6,040,544 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in medical device products revenue was predominantly due to reduced shipments of therapeutic medical device products from $3,665,874 in the third fiscal 2004 quarter to $2,609,936 in the third fiscal 2005 quarter. This decrease was attributable to a reduction of shipments to Focus Surgery on production units for Asia and Japan and a temporary reduction of shipments for the Company’s AutoSonix products. The decrease in shipments of therapeutic medical device products was partially offset by a $681,815 increase in diagnostic medical device products revenues from $2,374,671 to $3,056,486. The increase in laboratory and scientific products revenues was due to an increase in Labcaire sales of $1,023,621 and an increase in sales of ultrasonic laboratory and scientific products sales of $104,443. Wet scrubber products sales decreased $183,356 in the 2005 quarter due to the timing of orders and delivery dates. In addition, fume enclosure products sales also decreased $37,227 during the 2005 quarter. Export sales from the United States are remitted in U.S. Dollars and export sales for Labcaire are remitted in English Pounds. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had foreign net sales of $4,465,793 and $3,526,136, respectively, representing 41.0% and 34.0% of net sales for such years, respectively. The increase in foreign sales during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 is substantially due to increased Labcaire product sales. In March 2004, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Focus Surgery for the sale of the Sonablate 500 for the treatment of prostate cancer and other prostatic tumors in the geographic areas of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia. The agreement is for a term of two years with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms as long as minimum quantities are purchased. Labcaire represented 77% and 68% of foreign net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The remaining 23% and 32% represents net foreign sales remitted in U.S. Dollars during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Approximately 31% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were received in English Pounds currency. To the extent that the Company’s revenues are generated in English Pounds, its operating results are translated for reporting purposes into U.S. Dollars using weighted average rates of 1.89 and 1.84 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A strengthening of the English Pound, in relation to the U.S. Dollar, will have the effect of increasing reported revenues and profits, while a weakening of the English Pound will have the opposite effect. Since the Company’s operations in England generally set prices and bids for contracts in English Pounds, a strengthening of the English Pound, while increasing the value of its UK assets, might place the Company at a pricing disadvantage in bidding for work from manufacturers based overseas. The Company collects its receivables in the currency the subsidiary resides in. The Company has not engaged in foreign currency hedging transactions, which include forward exchange agreements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased from 43.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 41.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Gross profit for medical device products increased to 45.6% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 45.4% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 37.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 39.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in gross profit for laboratory and scientific products was negatively impacted by the unfavorable order mix for sales of ductless fume enclosure products due to discounting. The Company manufactures and sells both medical device products and laboratory and scientific products with a wide range of product costs and gross margin dollars as a percentage of revenues.

Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $272,416 to $1,476,236 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $1,203,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Medical device products selling expenses increased $219,419, due both to additional sales and marketing efforts for therapeutic medical device products in Europe and clinical costs for the wound debrider product. Laboratory and scientific products selling expenses increased $52,997, predominantly due to an increase in marketing expenses for Labcaire’s Guardian endoscopic cleaning product and the strengthening of the English Pound.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased $471,192 to $2,284,786 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $1,813,594 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The March 2004 quarter included a reduction of bad debt expense of $198,000 and there was no similar benefit in the March 2005 quarter. The increase was also due to increased general and administrative expenses related to consultants, stockholder relations expenses, accounting fees related to income tax matters and corporate insurance expenses.

Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $263,880 to $918,112 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $654,232 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Medical device products research and development expenses increased $215,647, predominantly due to increased research and development efforts for a product to treat liver and kidney cancer and upgrading our ultrasonic platform to a more modern digitized format. Research and development expenses for laboratory and scientific products increased $48,233, predominantly due to increased research and development efforts for various product enhancements and new product designs.

Other income (expense): Other income increased $192,882 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $195,111, as compared to $2,229 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The 2004 period included an impairment loss of $163,200 related to loans to Hearing Innovations, Inc. Royalty income increased by $36,819 during the March 2005 quarter, which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $9,766. The increase in interest expense is due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of the Labcaire note payable and capital leases for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Income taxes: The effective tax rate was 91% and 50% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2004, respectively. The increase was due to the large percentage of minority interest income to total income.

Critical Accounting Policies:

General: Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2001, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004 includes a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of its financial statements. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company considers certain accounting policies related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and income taxes to be critical policies due to the estimation process involved in each.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company’s policy is to review its customers’ financial condition prior to extending credit and, generally, collateral is not required. The Company utilizes letters of credit on foreign or export sales where appropriate.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Management evaluates the need to record adjustments for impairments of inventory on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 5 years. Depreciation of the Labcaire building is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 50 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset, whichever is shorter. The Company’s policy is to periodically evaluate the appropriateness of the lives assigned to property, plant and equipment and to make adjustments if necessary.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
Goodwill: In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (“SFAS 141”) and SFAS 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Business Combinations” and “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, respectively. SFAS 141 replaced Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 16 “Business Combinations” and requires the use of the purchase method for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur that indicate goodwill might be impaired. With the adoption of SFAS 142, as of July 1, 2001, the Company reassessed the useful lives and residual values of all acquired intangible assets to make any necessary amortization period adjustments. Based on that assessment, only goodwill was determined to have an indefinite useful life and no adjustments were made to the amortization period or residual values of other intangible assets. SFAS 142 provided a six-month transitional period from the effective date of adoption for the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired. To the extent that an indication of impairment exists, the Company must perform a second test to measure the amount of impairment. The second test must be performed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the fiscal year. Any impairment measured as of the date of adoption will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company performed the first test and determined that there was no indication that the goodwill recorded was impaired and, therefore, the second test was not required. The Company also completed its annual goodwill impairment tests for fiscal 2004 in the fourth quarter with no impairment noted.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25") and related interpretations. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options is generally set equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which is currently effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is required to implement the proposed standard no later than the quarter that begins July 1, 2005. The cumulative effect of adoption, if any, applied on a modified prospective basis, would be measured and recognized on July 1, 2005. SFAS 123R would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued To Employees”, and would instead require companies to recognize compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to share-based payments including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements: This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward looking statements contained in this report will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results specifically discussed in the forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the absence of anticipated contracts, higher than historical costs incurred in performance of contracts or in conducting other activities, product mix in sales, results of joint ventures and investments in related entities, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and the outcome of legal proceedings as well as management business decisions. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Working capital at March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004 was $17,703,037 and $16,997,590, respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2005, cash used in operations totaled $1,275,132. The decrease in the cash balance is predominately due to the increase in inventory to support future shipments, prepaid insurance premiums for policies with renewal dates in March, and payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses. In the nine months ended March 31, 2005, cash used in investing activities was $560,329, which primarily consisted of the purchase of property, plant and equipment during the regular course of business. In the nine months ended March 31, 2005, cash provided by financing activities was $90,439, primarily consisting of increased short-term borrowings and receipts from the exercise of employee stock options, partially offset by payments on capital lease obligations, short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

Revolving Credit Facilities

Labcaire has a debt purchase agreement with Lloyds TSB Commercial Finance. The amount of this facility is approximately $1,800,000 (£950,000) and bears interest at the bank’s base rate of 5.25% plus 1.75% and a service charge of .15% of sales invoice value and fluctuates based upon the outstanding United Kingdom and European receivables. The agreement was renewed effective February 28, 2005 through June 30, 2005 and covers all United Kingdom and European sales.

The Company secured a $5,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bank of America on January 18, 2002, which expired on February 18, 2005. The Company is currently negotiating a new credit facility with Bank of America, which agreement will be retroactive to February 18, 2005.

Hearing Innovations, Inc.

During fiscal 2005, the Company entered into ten loan agreements whereby Hearing Innovations was required to pay the Company an aggregate amount of $62,383 due December 31, 2004. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum. The notes are secured by a lien on all of Hearing Innovations’ right, title and interest in accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and processes of specified products whether now existing or arising after the date of these agreements. The loan agreements contain warrants to acquire an aggregate of 62,383 shares of Hearing Innovations common stock, at the option of the Company, at a cost of $.20 per share. These warrants, which are deemed nominal in value, expired in December 2004. The Company recorded an allowance against the entire balance and accrued interest due for the period ended March 31, 2005. Hearing Innovations suspended operations in April 2004 and filed for bankruptcy in November 2004.

In connection with the adoption of FASB Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46”), the Company consolidated Hearing Innovations in its March 31, 2004 balance sheet as the entity was determined to be a variable interest entity and the Company is its primary beneficiary. The Company elected to record the adoption of FIN 46 as a cumulative effect of an accounting change. Consolidating Hearing Innovations did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Since Hearing Innovations is now consolidated, loans of $62,383 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 are eliminated in consolidation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

On July 14, 2004, Hearing Innovations sent all shareholders and creditors a plan for reorganization and disclosure statement. Hearing Innovations filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in November 2004 and a plan was confirmed in January 2005. During February 2005 the Company funded Hearing Innovations $150,000 for the reorganization plan. Once the plan is fully consummated, the Company will own 100% of the equity in Hearing Innovations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to the Company.

Other

The Company believes that its existing capital resources will enable it to maintain its current and planned operations for at least 18 months from the date hereof.

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the operations of the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk:

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest rates on short-term investments and foreign exchange rates, which generate translation gains and losses due to the English Pound to U.S. Dollar conversion of Labcaire.

Foreign Exchange Rates:

Approximately 27% of the Company’s revenues in the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 were received in English Pounds currency. To the extent that the Company’s revenues are generated in English Pounds, its operating results are translated for reporting purposes into U.S. Dollars using rates of 1.86 and 1.77 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A strengthening of the English Pound, in relation to the U.S. Dollar, will have the effect of increasing its reported revenues and profits, while a weakening of the English Pound will have the opposite effect. Since the Company’s operations in England generally sets prices and bids for contracts in English Pounds, a strengthening of the English Pound, while increasing the value of its UK assets, might place the Company at a pricing disadvantage in bidding for work from manufacturers based overseas. The Company collects its receivables in the currency the subsidiary resides in. The Company has not engaged in foreign currency hedging transactions, which include forward exchange agreements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2005 and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
 
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
