The Company reported that growth in national account sales and international sales was offset by a decrease in contract manufacturing sales of $291,000.

The Company reported an operating loss of $274,000 for the first quarter of 2007 compared to operating income of $32,000 in the first quarter of 2006. Net loss for the first three months of 2007 was $297,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $11,000, or $0.00 per share, for the first three months of 2006.
The Company also reported in the first quarter that they had launched the OralStat(R) EX, a new test system for the rapid detection of drugs of abuse in oral fluids and signed a purchase agreement with one of the world's largest clinical laboratories.
Chief Executive Officer Stan Cipkowski stated, "This was certainly a disappointing quarter but I'm pleased to report that April was an outstanding month and we are seeing increased sales of our products from our new laboratory relationship. Even with the results of the first quarter, I remain confident that growth in our current core markets and expansion into new markets directly and through our new laboratory relationship will make 2007 a year of growth in sales and earnings."
