Total revenue for the fiscal 2007 second quarter was $8.0 million, an increase of 98% from total revenue of $4.0 million in the fiscal 2006 second quarter.

The 217% improvement from the prior period was due primarily to increased unit production volumes and sales of test strips, as well as to continued process efficiencies.

In order to meet expected levels of demand, we are planning to expand our production and warehousing capacity beginning later this quarter. We are in the process of obtaining a lease on the building adjacent to our current facility, which will approximately double our current floor space.� HemoSense reported cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $17.4 million as of March 31, 2007.
