Financials


 

Sales were up slightly for the first six months ended January 31, 2011 with disposables sales up 7.5% and capital sales down 25.3%. ($941,000 loss in Omni sales from first six months of fiscal 2010) Commercial Expenses were flat as costs saved by the change in distribution of our neurosurgery products to marketing partners were offset by increased R&D costs and an investment in G&A into our quality and lean initiatives. Net income from operations increased by 37.8% and earnings per share increased by 33.3%. Cash flow from operations was $682,000, down from $2.5 million as we invested $2.0 million in inventory for product launches and to support aggressive fill rate goals. Total interest bearing debt decreased to $3.7 million at January 31, 2011 bringing our leverage down to 7.4%. Post Alcon transaction, Company has $17.9 million of cash on its balance sheet and has significantly reduced its debt. First 6 Months 2011 Financial Highlights 22
