in Q3 2006 increased to $5,278,000 an increase of 271% over the

were $4,025,000. For the third quarter of 2006, the Company

ending September 30, 2006 the operating loss increased to
$(4,019,000) from $(1,985,000) for the same period in 2005. The
increased operating loss for the quarter and for the nine month
period are a result primarily of increases in headcount related
costs due to increases in our sales force and research and
development staffs and changes in our finance and administration
staff. In addition there is approximately $400,000 in option
expense recognized in the third quarter of 2006 which is not
included in 2005. Contact: Timothy Sheehan, VP - Corporate
