Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As we stated in our year end conference call, this year would be one of getting us back on a growth path. The first quarter results were in line with the guidance we gave in June of 15% to 20% year over year growth.  If we annualize the 1st quarter of $6.3 million that would give us a $24.8 million for FY 2011 or a projected growth rate of 18% over last year.  Our second quarter is also strong and we are continuing to see an increase in demand for our HSOR products, a rebounding of our Optosolutions product platform and strong interest with our terahertz product platform, as demonstrated by our recent sale of a system into the art conservation world of the Louvre.  We are optimistic about meeting our growth goals and would narrow our guidance range to the high end or 20% for the year."
