NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
April 30, 2009
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2008 has been derived from audited financial statements.  The unaudited condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NIMS”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  These statements reflect adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of April 30, 2009, and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.  Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.  The Company’s accounting policies continue unchanged from July 31, 2008.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 2008.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements to be consistent with the current period’s presentation.

1.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
Organization.  Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation, began business as a medical diagnostic monitoring company to develop computer-aided continuous monitoring devices to detect abnormal respiratory and cardiac events using sensors on the body’s surface.  It has ceased to operate in this market and has licensed the rights to its technology to the SensorMedics division of ViaSys Healthcare Inc. (which is now a unit of Cardinal Health, Inc. (“SensorMedics”)), and to VivoMetrics, Inc. (“VivoMetrics”).  The Company is now focused on developing and marketing its Exer-Rest® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms based upon unique, patented whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) technology.  The Exer-Rest® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms currently includes the Exer-Rest® AT, SL and TL models.
 
NIMS received US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance in January 2009 to market the full Exer-Rest® line of products as Class I (Exempt) Medical Devices as described in the Company’s 510(k) premarket notification submission.  The submission included 23 investigational and clinical studies on the vasodilatation properties of WBPA, as well as a controlled, four week clinical trial in a group of patients with chronic aches and pains carried out at the Center of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School.  The submission supported Exer-Rest® safety and efficacy for the cleared intended uses as an aid to temporarily increase local circulation, to provide temporary relief of minor aches and pains, and local muscle relaxation.  The clearance was based upon the FDA’s determination that the Exer-Rest® line of devices was exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Federal, Food Drug and Cosmetic Act.  In June 2009, the FDA authorized the expansion of intended use claims for the Exer-Rest® to include a claim of reducing morning stiffness.  These authorizations to market the Exer-Rest® in the United States complement NIMS’ existing international clearance to market the Exer-Rest® as a class IIa medical device (CE120) in Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, India, the Middle East and certain other markets that recognize FDA and/or CE certifications with the intended use described above plus the claim of improving joint mobility.
 
Business.  The Company receives revenue from royalties on sales of diagnostic monitoring hardware and software by    SensorMedics and VivoMetrics.  Additionally, the Company receives revenues from sales of parts and service and from sales of acceleration therapeutics platforms used for research purposes.  In fiscal year 2009, NIMS began commercial sales of its third generation Exer-Rest® therapeutic platforms.
 
During the calendar years 2005 to 2007, the Company designed, developed and manufactured the first Exer-Rest® platform (now the Exer-Rest® AT), a second generation acceleration therapeutics platform, and updated its operations to promote the Exer-Rest® AT overseas as an aid to improve circulation and joint mobility, and to relieve minor aches and pains.  
 
The Company has developed a third generation of Exer-Rest® acceleration therapeutic platforms (designated the Exer-Rest® SL and the Exer-Rest® TL) that are being manufactured by Sing Lin Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Sing Lin”) based in Taichung, Taiwan (see Note 9).

NON-INVASIVE MONITORING SYSTEMS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
April 30, 2009
 
NIMS, an ISO 13485 certified company, began marketing operations in the United States in 2009 upon receiving the FDA clearance described above.  The Company is also permitted to sell Exer-Rest® in Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, India, the Middle East and certain other markets that recognize FDA and/or CE certifications, and began international marketing operations during 2008.
 
Sing Lin also has distribution rights to the Company’s acceleration therapeutics platforms in certain Far East markets.  The Company has also engaged Sing Lin to build the Somno-Ease platform, a variation of the Exer-Rest® that is designed to aid patients with sleep disorders as well as provide feedback for slow rhythmic breathing exercises for the relief of stress associated with daily living.  The Company is also developing a further product line extension called Exer-Rest® Plus, a device that combines the features of the Exer-Rest® and Somno-Ease for future marketing in the United States and other markets.
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company had net losses in the amount of $1.3 million for each of the nine month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, and has experienced cash outflows from operating activities.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $19.3 million as of April 30, 2009, and has substantial purchase commitments at April 30, 2009 (see Note 9).  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Although the Company has commenced sales of the Exer-Rest® in the United States and has raised approximately $2.8 million from the sales of its Series D Preferred Stock in December 2008 and January 2009 (see Note 6), the Company will likely need to generate additional funds during the next 12 months.  Absent any significant revenues from product sales, additional debt or equity financing will be required for the Company to continue its business activities, which are currently focused on the production, marketing and commercial sale of the Exer-Rest®.  It is management’s intention to obtain any additional capital needed to continue its business activities through new debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in this regard.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems of Florida, Inc., which has no current operations, and NIMS of Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Such items include input variables relating to valuation of stock based compensation and other financial instruments.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Inventories.  Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventories at April 30, 2009 primarily consist of finished Exer-Rest® units and purchased sub-assemblies to be used by the Company’s US-based contract manufacturer in production of the Exer-Rest® AT.
 
Tooling and Equipment.  These assets are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives.
 
Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  In performing the review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.
 
Income Taxes.  The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) using an asset and liability based approach.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  SFAS No. 109 provides that the Company recognize income tax benefits for loss carryforwards.  The tax benefits recognized must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that loss carryforwards will expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or if future deductibility is uncertain.  For financial statement purposes, the deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
April 30, 2009
 
As of July 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.6 million available to offset future taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes.  The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2028 and may be subject to limitation due to change of ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.
 
Effective August 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.
 
The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates.  Tax years ranging from 2005 to 2008 remain open to examination by various taxing jurisdictions as the statute of limitations has not expired.  It is the Company’s policy to include income tax interest and penalties expense in its tax provision.
 
Revenue Recognition.  Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the goods are shipped and title has transferred, the price is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured.  The Company recognizes royalties as they are earned, based on reports from licensees.  Research and consulting revenue and revenue from sales of extended warranties on therapeutic platforms are recognized over the term of the respective agreements.
 
Advertising Costs. The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred.  There were no material advertising costs incurred during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
Research and Development Costs.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and primarily consist of payments to third parties for research and development of the Exer-Rest® device and regulatory testing and other costs to obtain FDA approval.
 
Warranties.  The Company’s warranties are two years on all Exer-Rest® products sold and are accrued based on management’s estimates and the history of warranty costs incurred.  There were no material warranty costs incurred during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, and management estimates that the Company’s accrued warranty expense at April 30, 2009 will be sufficient to offset claims made for units under warranty.
 
Stock-based compensation.  The Company follows SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment,” which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense, based on their fair values.  Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses for all periods presented.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of April 30, 2009.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments such as royalties receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair values because they are short term in nature or they bear current market interest rates.
 
Foreign Currency Translation.  The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiary is the local currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date while income and expense amounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period.  The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive income.  There were $6,000 of foreign currency translation adjustments in the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss).  Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including foreign currency translations.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), as amended, provides for a total of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  The 2000 Plan allows the issuance of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards.  The exercise price of the options is determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, but incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock as of the grant date or an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair value for a 10% shareholder.  Options expire up to ten years from the date of the grant and are exercisable according to the terms of the individual option agreements.
 
The Company recorded stock based compensation of $41,000 and $42,000, respectively, for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, and $146,000 and $274,000, respectively, for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.  All stock based compensation is included in the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards is expensed over the vesting life of the underlying stock options using the graded vesting method, with each tranche of vesting options valued separately.
 
The Company granted 265,000 and 340,000 stock options, respectively, during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009, and 20,000 and 792,500 options, respectively, during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008.  The fair values of options granted are estimated on the date of their grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions included in the table below.  The expected term of stock option awards granted is generally based upon the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options discussed in SAB No. 107, as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.  The expected volatility is derived from historical volatility of the Company's stock on the U.S. over-the-counter bulletin board for a period that matches the expected term of the option.  The risk-free interest rate is the yield from a Treasury bond or note corresponding to the expected term of the option.  The Company has not paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the future.  Forfeiture rates are based on management’s estimates.  The fair value of each option granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 was estimated using the following assumptions:

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
In April 2008, the Company authorized a new series of its Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).  The Series D Preferred Stock has no preference with respect to dividends to the Company’s common stock, and is entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, together with the holders of the common stock, ratably on an “as-converted” basis.  Each holder of a share of the Series D Preferred Stock has the right, at any time, to convert such share of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at an initial rate of 5,000 shares of Common Stock per share of Series D Preferred Stock.  The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, on an “as-converted basis,” together with the holders of the Common Stock and holders of any other series of Preferred Stock or other class of the Company’s capital stock which are granted such voting rights as a single class on all matters, except as otherwise provided by law.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,500 per share of Series D Preferred Stock prior to any distribution to the holders of the Common Stock.  The Series D Preferred Stock ranks (1) pari passu in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to all shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company and (2) senior in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to all shares of Common Stock.  The Series D Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
 
April 2008 Offering.  On April 7, 2008, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to certain private investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on April 3, 2008 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).  The Investors include an executive officer of the Company, a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock and a director and executive officer of the Company who also holds more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock (collectively, the “Related Party Investors”).  Dr. Jane Hsiao, who became a director and Chairman in October 2008, is trustee of one of the Investors which is not one of the Related Party Investors.  The aggregate purchase price for the Series D Preferred Stock was $1,500,000, of which $795,000 was paid by the Related Party Investors.
 
December 2008 Offering.  In December 2008, the Company sold an aggregate of 491 additional shares of its Series D Preferred Stock to certain private investors at a price of $1,500 per share pursuant to Stock Subscription Agreements entered between December 1, 2008 and December 2, 2008 (the sale of 286 shares closed on December 1, 2008 and the sale of 205 shares closed on December 2, 2008).  The investors in the December 2008 Offering include a director of the Company, an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman and certain of the Related Party Investors that participated in the April 2008 Offering (collectively, the “December Related Party Investors”).  The aggregate purchase price for the Series D Preferred Stock was $736,500, of which $382,500 was paid by the December Related Party Investors.  Of the $382,500 paid by the December Related Party Investors, $282,200 was paid from the proceeds of their respective interests in the Revolver described in Note 5 above.

January 2009 Offering.  On January 28, 2009, pursuant to Stock Subscription Agreements accepted by the Company on that date, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of 1,400 additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $1,500 per share to certain of the Related Party Investors that participated in the December 2008 offering described above.  The aggregate price paid for the shares issued in the January 2009 offering was $2.1 million.
 
The Series D Preferred Stock was issued in each of the above transactions at $1,500 per share, which is equivalent to $0.30 per share of Common Stock on an “as-converted” basis.  The closing price of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board was $0.53, $0.36, $0.38 and $0.43, respectively, on each of April 7, 2008, December 1, 2008, December 2, 2008 and January 28, 2009, resulting in beneficial conversion features of $1,150, $300, $400 and $650, respectively, per share of Series D Preferred Stock on the respective issue dates.  In accordance with the guidance in FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue Nos. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” the $2.2 million aggregate beneficial conversion feature of the Series D Preferred Stock on the issue dates was deemed a discount on the issuance of the shares and was recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital in the balance sheet.  Because the Series D Preferred Stock was immediately convertible to Common Stock, the portion of the $2.2 million aggregate intrinsic value applicable to a closing date is deemed a dividend paid to the investors on such closing date.  Such deemed dividends have been recorded as increases in losses attributable to common shareholders and, in the absence of retained earnings, as reductions of additional paid in capital.

7.
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
 
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.  Diluted potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock.  In computing diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, no dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock would be anti-dilutive.
 
Potential common shares not included in calculating diluted net loss per share are as follows:

   
April 30, 2009

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Effective August 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active.”  The FSP was effective upon issuance, including periods for which financial statements have not been issued.  The FSP clarified the application of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and provided an illustrative example to demonstrate how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive.  Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 157 and the FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Effective August 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an amendment of FASB Statement 115” (“SFAS 159”).  This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.  As of April 30, 2009, the Company has not elected to use the fair value option allowed by SFAS 159.  
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No.141R”).  SFAS No. 141R will replace SFAS 141, and establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination reorganizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Currently, the Company does not anticipate that this Statement will have a significant impact on its financial statements, however the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions consummated after July 31, 2009.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”).  This statement requires that noncontrolling or minority interests in subsidiaries be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parents’ equity, and that the amount of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income.  SFAS No. 160 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009.  Currently, the Company does not anticipate that this statement will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
 
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” (“EITF 07-3”).  EITF 07-3 requires non-refundable advance payments for goods and services to be used in future research and development activities to be recorded as an asset and the payments to be expensed when the research and development activities are performed.  EITF 07-3 became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning August 1, 2008.  Management has determined that the application of this standard has not had a significant impact on its financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property” (“EITF 07-1”).  EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties.  EITF 07-1 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on the financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”).  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.  Prior to the issuance of SFAS 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  SFAS 162 became effective in November 2008. The  adoption of SFAS 162 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued EITF 07-05, “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” ("EITF 07-05").  EITF 07-05 provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133.  EITF 07-05 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009 and early application is not permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of EITF 07-05 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS-157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”).  FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157.  FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive and whether a transaction is distressed.  FSP FAS 157-4 is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e. financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures.  FSP FAS 157-4 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2”) and (“FSP FAS 124-2”).  FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2 provide additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to improve presentation and disclosure of other than temporary impairments in the financial statements.  FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1”) and (“APB 28-1”).  FSP FAS 107-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements and amends APB Opinion No. 28 “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in interim financial statements.  FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning August 1, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.”  SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or ready to be issued.  SFAS No. 165 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2009.  The Company does not expect SFAS No. 165 to have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Overview
 
We are primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of non-invasive, whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) therapeutic platforms, which are motorized platforms that move a subject repetitively from head to foot.  Our acceleration therapeutic platforms are the inventions of Marvin A. Sackner, M.D., our founder, Chief Executive Officer and a director.  Dr. Sackner holds 32 United States patents and is a past President of the American Thoracic Society, past Chairman of the Pulmonary Disease Subspecialty Board and a past Member of the American Board of Internal Medicine.  Twenty-six peer reviewed scientific publications attest to the benefits of whole body periodic acceleration in animal and human research investigations.  The application of this technology causes release of beneficial substances such as nitric oxide from the inner lining of blood vessels to the same extent as moderate to strenuous exercise.  These findings are not being claimed as an intended use of the device for marketing purposes, but demonstrate a potential mechanism for its benefits.
 
Prior to 2002, our primary business was the development of computer assisted, non-invasive diagnostic monitoring devices and related software designed to detect abnormal respiratory, cardiac, and other medical conditions from sensors placed externally on the body’s surface.  We assigned our patents for these ambulatory monitoring devices to the SensorMedics division of ViaSys Healthcare Inc. (which is now a unit of Cardinal Health, Inc. (“SensorMedics”)), for cash and royalties on sales.  We also assigned the patents to VivoMetrics, Inc. (“VivoMetrics”), then a related party, for an equity ownership interest in VivoMetrics (now carried at zero value for financial reporting purposes) and royalties on sales and leasing of VivoMetrics’ LifeShirt® systems.  In April 2002, VivoMetrics received FDA clearance to market the LifeShirt® system.  We continue to receive royalties from both SensorMedics and VivoMetrics, however there can be no assurance as to the amount of royalty revenue that will be derived from these patent assignments.
 
In 2002, we began restructuring our operations and business strategy to focus on the research, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of non-invasive, motorized, WBPA platforms.  These acceleration therapeutic platforms are intended for use in the home, wellness centers and clinics as an aid to improve circulation and joint mobility, relieve minor aches and pains, relieve troubled sleep and as a mechanical feedback device for slow rhythmic breathing exercise for stress management.  These platforms are targeted for use by individuals who have physical limitations and are incapable of exercising or using traditional exercise equipment.  The platforms are also targeted to healthy individuals who are unwilling to exercise or wish to implement WBPA therapy in conjunction with a regular exercise routine.  The Company’s first such platform, the AT-101, was initially registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) as a Class 1 (exempt) powered exercise device and was sold to physicians and their patients.  In January 2005, the FDA disagreed with our device classification, and requested that we cease commercial sales and marketing efforts for the AT-101 until we received a Class 1Therapeutic Vibrator approval from the FDA.  Accordingly, we ceased sales and marketing efforts in the U.S. for this platform pending FDA approval.

NON-INVASIVE MONITORING SYSTEMS, INC
 
In January 2005 we began development of a less costly and more efficient second generation version of the AT-101, the Exer-Rest® (now designated the Exer-Rest® AT).  The Company entered into a Product and Development and Supply Agreement with Sing Lin Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sing Lin”) of Taichung, Taiwan on September 4, 2007.  Under this agreement, Sing Lin will manufacture new third generation versions of our patented Exer-Rest® motorized platforms (designated the Exer-Rest® SL and the Exer-Rest® TL).  In January 2008, we received ISO 13485 certification for Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe from SGS United Kingdom Ltd., one of the world’s leading verification and certification bodies.  ISO 13485 certification is recognized and accepted worldwide as a sign of design and manufacturing quality for medical devices.  In addition to our ISO certification, NIMS’ Exer-Rest® AT acceleration therapeutic platform (Class IIa) was awarded CE0120 certification, which requires several safety related conformity tests including clinical assessment for safety and effectiveness.  The CE0120 marking is often referred to as a “passport” that allows manufacturers from anywhere in the world to sell their goods throughout the European market as well as in many other countries.
 
We have determined that it is in the best interest of NIMS and its shareholders to focus the Company’s time and resources on developing and marketing the Exer-Rest® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms.  These devices will be marketed and sold by NIMS in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, India and Latin America, and by Sing Lin in certain Far East markets.  In January 2009, NIMS received FDA approval to market the Exer-Rest® in the United States as a Class I Exempt medical device, and we commenced sales and deliveries of Exer-Rest® units in the US in February 2009.
 
The development of the Exer-Rest® has necessitated additional expenditures and commitments of capital, and we anticipate experiencing losses through the end of the 2009 fiscal year as we commence sales in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, India and Latin America.  We raised approximately $2.8 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2009 to produce inventory and initiate sales and marketing efforts in Canada and the US.  If we are unsuccessful in achieving significant revenues from these efforts, we will likely need to raise additional capital to fulfill our business plan, but no commitment to raise such additional capital exists or can be assured.  If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to raise such additional capital, if required, we may not be able to continue operations.  

Products
 
Exer-Rest® Therapeutic Vibrators.  The Exer-Rest® AT therapeutic vibrator is based upon the design and concept of our original AT-101 therapeutic vibrator, but has the dimensions and appearance of a commercial extra long twin bed, is more efficient, less costly and priced lower.  QTM Incorporated (“QTM”), an FDA registered manufacturer (Oldsmar, FL) manufactured the device, which was built in accordance with ISO and FDA Good Manufacturing Practices.  Sales of the Exer-Rest ® AT began overseas in October 2007.  The Exer-Rest® SL and Exer-Rest® TL, which are being manufactured by Sing Lin, further advance the acceleration therapeutic platform technology.  The SL and TL models combine improved drive technology for quieter operation, a more comfortable “memory-foam” mattress, more convenient operation with a multi-function wireless remote and a more streamlined look to improve the WBPA experience.  Overseas deliveries of Exer-Rest® SL and Exer-Rest® TL platforms began in October 2008, and US deliveries of these models began in February 2009.  The Somno-Ease, a variation of the Exer-Rest® currently in development, is designed to aid patients with sleep disorders as well as provide feedback for slow rhythmic breathing exercises for the relief of stress associated with daily living.  The Somno-Ease™ will have a similar appearance to the Exer-Rest® SL and TL models, but produces slower motion over a greater travel distance than Exer-Rest® and is based upon the notion of “rocking” the adult to sleep analogous to rocking a baby to sleep.  The Exer-Rest® Plus, which is also in development, will combine the features of both the Exer-Rest® and Somno-Ease.
 
LifeShirt®.  The LifeShirt® is a patented Wearable Physiological Computer that incorporates transducers, electrodes and sensors into a low turtle neck sleeveless garment.  These transducers are connected to a miniaturized, battery powered, electronic module for collection of respiratory and cardiac data.  In addition, the monitored patient can enter symptoms with intensity, mood, and medication information for integration with the physiologic information collected with the LifeShirt® garment.  Data can be mailed to VivoMetrics, Inc.’s Data Collection Center for quality control, generation of reports, and database storage.  Vital and physiological signs can be obtained non-invasively, continuously, cheaply, and reliably with the comfortably worn LifeShirt® garment system while at rest, during exercise, at work, and during sleep.  We licensed the patent rights for the LifeShirt® to VivoMetrics in 1999, then assigned the patent rights to them in 2000 and currently collect royalties from VivoMetrics.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations set forth below under “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to royalties, inventory, tooling and equipment and contingencies.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions 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.  A more detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies can be found in Note 2 in the Notes to the Financial Statements set forth in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 2008.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Results of Operations
 
In January 2005, we began developing the Exer-Rest® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms, which were designed to be more efficient and less expensive than the original AT-101 platform.  The Exer-Rest® AT platform was first available for delivery to certain locations outside of the United States in October 2007.  Prior to the first export sales of the Exer-Rest® AT, we continued to sell the AT-101 in certain locations outside of the United States.  In anticipation of the launch of the Exer-Rest line, in July 2006 we wrote down as obsolete our existing inventory of AT-101 platforms and parts to zero value.  The newest Exer-Rest® SL and TL platforms, which have been developed under our agreement with Sing Lin, became available for sale overseas in the first quarter of our 2009 fiscal year and in the U.S. in February 2009.  We expect to increase our sales activity throughout fiscal 2009 in North America with aggressive marketing, promotional pricing and the establishment of demonstration centers, and in international markets through the enlistment of local distributors.  As of April 30, 2009, we had entered into agreements with distributors in the Middle East and India.
 
Three and Nine months ended April 30, 2009 Compared to Three and Nine months Ended April 30, 2008
 
Revenue.  Total revenues increased from $39,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, to $169,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2009.  This $130,000 increase resulted from a $137,000 increase in product sales, offset in part by a $6,000 decrease in royalties.  Total revenues increased from $194,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $450,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $256,000, primarily resulting from a $230,000 increase in product sales and a $27,000 increase in royalties.  Platform unit sales for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 increased 2,000% and 800%, respectively, over the comparable periods in the prior year.  These increases in product sales were primarily attributable to the delivery of the initial order of Exer-Rest® SL models to a new overseas distributor and the delivery of Exer-Rest® SL and TL models to individual customers upon commencement of United States sales in February 2009.
 
Combined royalties from VivoMetrics and SensorMedics were $20,000 and $26,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.  The decrease in royalty revenue was primarily due to revisions to previously estimated royalties from VivoMetrics on sales of the LifeShirt®.  Royalty revenues were $177,000 and $150,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Increases in royalty revenue resulted from higher reported sales of licensed products in the nine months ended April 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008.  We expect royalty revenues from LifeShirt® sales to decrease in future periods due to reported reductions in VivoMetrics’ sales force.
 
Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 was $57,000 and $118,000, respectively, as compared to $15,000 and $41,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008.  As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales was lower in the 2009 periods primarily due to a greater mix of the less costly Exer-Rest SL and TL units delivered and because the majority of units delivered in the 2008 periods were sold at a substantial discount to our current pricing.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased to $494,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2009 from $463,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008.  This $31,000 increase was primarily attributed to the establishment of our Toronto demonstration center and increased wages, professional fees and marketing and sales expenses in the 2009 fiscal period, offset by reduced legal and auditing fees.  SG&A expenses increased $54,000 to $1.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 from $1.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2008.  The increase in the 2009 period was the result of increases in wages, professional fees, trade show costs, travel, sales and marketing and the establishment of our Toronto demonstration center, offset in part by lower stock-based compensation and severance expenses.  The nine months ended April 30, 2008 included $126,000 of severance costs related to the termination of our former Chief Executive Officer.  Stock-based compensation expense, which is included in SG&A expense, decreased from $42,000 and $274,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $41,000 and $146,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009.  The decrease in stock-based compensation was primarily due to a decrease in the number of options granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
 
Research and development costs.  Research and development costs increased from $49,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 to $77,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $28,000.  Research and development costs increased from $125,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $168,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $43,000.  The increases in the 2009 fiscal periods relate primarily to costs incurred in pursuit of FDA clearance to market the Exer-Rest® in the US, which clearance was granted in January 2009.

NON-INVASIVE MONITORING SYSTEMS, INC
 
Total operating costs and expenses.  Total operating costs and expenses increased $101,000 from $527,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 to $628,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2009.  Total operating costs and expenses increased $174,000 from approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2009.  These increases were primarily attributable to the increase in cost of sales related to higher sales volume, as well as higher SG&A expense and increased research and development expense related to our pursuit of FDA approval to market the Exer-Rest®.
 
Interest income (expense), net.  Net interest income was negligible in each of the three month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.  Net interest expense was $8,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, primarily attributable to interest accruing on the Revolver described below.  Net interest income was $10,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 from interest earned on cash balances in interest bearing accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our operations have been primarily financed through private sales of our equity securities.  At April 30, 2009, we had cash of approximately $1.3 million and working capital of approximately $2.2 million.  We expect these funds will be sufficient to expand our marketing efforts in the US and Canada for the remainder of the 2009 calendar year.  If we are not able to generate significant revenue with these expanded marketing efforts, we will likely be required to obtain additional external financing to continue operations beyond the end of the 2009 calendar year.  No assurance can be given that such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.  Our ability to sell additional shares of our stock and/or borrow cash could be materially adversely affected by the recent economic turmoil in the Global equity and credit markets.  Current economic conditions have been, and continue to be, volatile and continued instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business and to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities.
 
 Net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for each of the nine month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.  Reduced payments to Sing Lin for inventory purchases were offset by increased use of cash for other working capital items.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $227,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 primarily due to the $171,000 final payment for the purchase of tooling from Sing Lin, improvements to our Miami office and Toronto demonstration center and development of our new website.  Our investing activities provided $79,000 of net cash for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 due to the redemption of $400,000 of certificates of deposit held in restricted cash, offset in part by $300,000 of payments for tooling development under the Sing Lin agreement.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.9 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2008.  The increase was principally due to the issuance of 1,891 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in the December 2008 and January 2009 transactions described below, as compared  to the issuance of 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in April 2008.
 
In January 2009, the Company accepted $2,000 for the exercise of 13,333 outstanding options and issued an additional 8,239 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the cashless exercise of an additional 13,333 options.
 
Aggregate collections of royalty payments from VivoMetrics and SensorMedics were $161,000 and $136,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  There can be no assurances that the Company will continue to receive similar royalty payments, and we expect a modest decline in royalties for the foreseeable future.
 
At July 31, 2008, we had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.6 million which expire in various years through 2028.  The net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitation due to change of ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.
 
Under the agreement with Sing Lin, we are committed to purchase approximately $2.2 million of Exer-Rest® and Somno-Ease units within one year of acceptance of the final product, which acceptance occurred in September 2008, and an additional $3.5 million and $7.5 million of products in the second and third years following acceptance of the final product, respectively.  Under the Agreement, the Company must pay a portion of the product purchase price at the time production orders are placed, with the balance due upon delivery.  Through April 30, 2009, we have paid Sing Lin $891,000 in connection with orders placed through that date, and we will be required to make additional payments totaling approximately $238,000 upon taking delivery of the units currently in production.  We began taking delivery of units from Sing Lin in October 2008 and we expect such deliveries to continue periodically throughout the 2009 fiscal year.

Series D Preferred Stock Offerings.  In April 2008, we authorized a new series of our Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).  Each holder of a share of the Series D Preferred Stock has the right, at any time, to convert such share of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial rate of 5,000 shares of common stock per share of Series D Preferred Stock.  The Series D Preferred Stock has a $1,500 per share liquidation preference, and is issued at $1,500 per share, which is equivalent to $0.30 per share of Common Stock on an “as-converted” basis.
 
April 2008 Series D Preferred Stock Offering.  On April 7, 2008, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 1,000 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock to certain private investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on April 3, 2008 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).  The Investors include Marvin Sackner, a director and executive officer of the Company who also holds more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock; Steven Mrha, an executive officer of the Company, and Frost Gamma Investments Trust (“Frost Gamma”), a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock (collectively, the “Related Party Investors”).  Dr. Jane Hsiao, who became a director and Chairman in October 2008, is trustee of one of the Investors which is not one of the Related Party Investors.  The aggregate purchase price for the Series D Preferred Stock was $1.5 million, of which $795,000 was paid by the Related Party Investors.  The April 7, 2008 closing price of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board was $0.53 per share, resulting in a $1,150 intrinsic value per share of Series D Preferred Stock on the issue date.  The $1.2 million aggregate intrinsic value of the Series D Preferred Stock on the issue date was deemed a dividend paid to the Investors on the closing date and as an increase in loss attributable to common shareholders in the financial statements for the period then ended.
 
December 2008 Series D Preferred Stock Offering.  On December 2, 2008, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 491 additional shares of our Series D Preferred Stock to certain investors pursuant to stock purchase agreements entered between December 1, 2009 and December 2, 2008 (the sale of 286 shares closed on December 1, 2008 and the sale of 205 shares closed on December 2, 2008).  These investors include Dr. Sackner, Frost Gamma, Hsu Gamma Investments, LP (“Hsu Gamma”), an entity controlled by our Chairman, and a director (collectively, the “New Related Party Investors”).  The aggregate purchase price for the Series D Preferred Stock was $736,500, of which $382,500 was paid by the New Related Party Investors.  Of the $382,500 paid by the New Related Party Investors, $282,200 was paid from the proceeds of their respective interests in the Revolver described below.  (See Note 6 to the accompanying financial statements.) The closing prices of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board on December 1 and 2, 2008 were $0.36 and $0.38 per share, respectively, resulting in a $168,000 aggregate intrinsic value on the issue dates.  The $168,000 aggregate intrinsic value of the Series D Preferred Stock on the issue dates was deemed a dividend paid to the investors on the closing dates and as an increase in loss attributable to common shareholders in the financial statements for the period then ended.
 
January 2009 Series D Preferred Stock Offering.  On January 28, 2009, we completed the sale of 700 additional shares of our Series D Preferred Stock to each of Frost Gamma and Hsu Gamma (1,400 total shares) for aggregate proceeds of $2.1 million.  The January 28, 2009 closing price of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board was $0.43 per share, resulting in a $65,000 intrinsic value per share of Series D Preferred Stock on the issue date.  The $910,000 aggregate intrinsic value of the Series D Preferred Stock on the issue date was deemed a dividend paid to the investors on the closing date and as an increase in loss attributable to common shareholders in the financial statements for the period then ended.
 
August 2008 Revolver Loan.  On August 28, 2008 we entered into a Note and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with four persons (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders granted us a revolving credit line (the “Revolver”) in the aggregate amount of $300,000, secured by all of the Company’s personal property.  The Lenders included Dr. Sackner, Frost Gamma and Hsu Gamma.  We were permitted to borrow and reborrow from time to time under the Revolver until October 31, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”).  The interest rate payable by us on amounts outstanding under the Revolver was 11% per annum, and increased to 16% after the Maturity Date or after an Event of Default.  We were required to repay all amounts owing under the Revolver by the Maturity Date, and amounts outstanding were prepayable at any time.  On August 29, 2008 we drew down $300,000 under the Revolver.  The Revolver was amended, effective October 31, 2008, to extend the Maturity Date until November 30, 2008.  All principal and interest outstanding under the Revolver as of November 30, 2008 was repaid with proceeds from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock on December 1, 2008 as described above.  (See Notes 5 and 6 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.)
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company had net losses in the amount of $468,000 and $488,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, and $1.3 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.  In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $19.3 million as of April 30, 2009, and has substantial purchase commitments at April 30, 2009 (see Note 9 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements).  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Not required for smaller reporting companies as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2009 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
 
There were no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2009.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

In addition to the Risk Factors set forth in Item 1 in our Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, investors should be aware of the following additional risk factor:

The current recessionary economic environment and concurrent market instability may materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain credit or secure funds through sales of our stock, which may materially and adversely affect our ability to fund our operations.

We have funded our operations to date primarily through sales of our stock in private placements and through borrowing cash under credit facilities available to us from stockholders and other individuals.  Our ability to sell additional shares of our stock and/or borrow cash could be materially adversely affected by the recent economic turmoil in the World’s equity and credit markets.  There can therefore be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms or at all, which may materially adversely affect our ability to continue our operations.  Additionally, the current economic turmoil could also reduce the demand for new and innovative medical devices, resulting in delayed market acceptance of our products.  Such delay could have a material adverse impact on our expected cash flows, results of operations and financial position.
