Revenue:

(in thousands) Quarter Ended Variance September 30, September 30, 2007 2006 $ %

Revenue Sevoflurane $1,425 $4,562 $(3,137) (69)% Other inhalants 1,101 698 403 58 % Total Anesthesia & 2,526 5,260 (2,734) (52)% Analgesia Image Guidance 165 18 147 817 % Total Revenue $2,691 $5,278 $(2,587) (49)%

Revenue decreased by $2.587 million or 49%, to $2.691 million for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $5.278 million for the third quarter of 2006. This decrease is primarily attributed to the reduction in Sevoflurane sales in the United States during the third quarter of 2007. This was primarily a result of the timing of regulatory approvals on products in the United Sates and their subsequent launch. Revenues were limited during the first nine months of 2007 due to the manufacturing of both isoflurane and sevoflurane on our isoflurane line (as opposed to separate production lines) and a focus on expanding our Bethlehem Anesthetic Facility. The Company received approval of Sojourn(TM) (sevoflurane) by the United States Food & Drug Administration on May 2, 2007. We expect this approval (and others around the world) to increase demand for our products in future periods.

On November 5, 2007, the Company completed construction of its Sevoflurane Active Pharmaceutical Line ("API") and will be completing validation of this line over the next several weeks. We believe the addition of our Sevoflurane API Line will allow us to increase production by a factor of four times from previous production constraints.

(in thousands) Quarter Ended Variance September 30, September 30, 2007 2006 $ % Revenue United States $1,295 $4,359 $(3,064) (70)% Europe 95 233 (138) (59)% Western Hemisphere 909 434 475 110 % (excluding U.S.) Pacific Rim 392 252 140 55 % Total Revenue $2,691 $5,278 $(2,587) (49)%

Cost of Goods Sold:

Cost of goods sold increased by $72 thousand, or 2%, to $3.286 million for the third quarter of 2007 from $3.214 million for the third quarter of 2006. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold increased from 61% in the third quarter of 2006 to 122% in the third quarter of 2007. The Company's manufacturing variance of $1.923 million in the third quarter of 2007, resulted in cost of goods rising from a projected 51% of revenue to the 122% experienced in the third quarter. The manufacturing variances experienced in the third quarter were primarily a result of two items; variances due to volume of approximately $800 thousand and inventory write-downs and reserves of approximately $1.100 million. The volume variance of $800 thousand was a result of decreased production during the quarter due to construction in our Bethlehem Facility (which was completed on November 5th), the limitations caused by producing both isoflurane and sevoflurane on our isoflurane API line during the quarter, and changes in plant personnel. The inventory write-downs of $1.100 million during the quarter were a result of several items including adjustments as a result of a physical inventory, changes in engineering specifications in our real-time image guidance line, and reserves against our work-in-process inventory due to potential reprocessing of work-in-process material.

Operating Expenses:

Sales and marketing expense increased by $531 thousand, or 33%, to $2.144 million for the third quarter of 2007 from $1.613 million in the third quarter of 2006. The primary cause of this growth was due to the creation and expansion of our field sales organization in the second-half of 2006 and into 2007, with its corresponding employee and incentive costs. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has completely filled its U.S. sales force and had a limited number of vacancies internationally.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2007 increased by $754 thousand, or 90%, to $1.590 million from $836 thousand in the third quarter of 2006. The increase between the two periods is due to an expansion of our research and development efforts, headcount related to our anesthesia & analgesia, real-time image guidance, and conscious sedation projects and costs with registering our products internationally. During the quarter the Company received 510(k) acceptance on a spinal access product to be used with our image guidance product line, started accelerated stability studies on our validation batches of desflurane, and continued development of our conscious sedation device. Desflurane stability studies are anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter and the US FDA Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") is expected to be filed.

Finance and administrative expenses decreased by $602 thousand or 42%, to $842 thousand for the third quarter 2007 from $1.444 million for the third quarter of 2006. The decrease was primarily as a result of a decrease in option expense recognized for finance and administrative employees between the two periods of $241 thousand and $228 thousand of expenses due to changes in finance and administrative staff which occurred during the third quarter of 2006 that did not occur in 2007.

Net Loss:

For the third quarter of 2007, the Company experienced a loss of $(5.260) million, $(0.11) per common share. This compares with a loss of $(1.687) million, $(0.04) per common share for the third quarter of 2006. The increased operating loss for the quarter is primarily due to decreases in gross margin combined with increases in our overall operating expenses between the two periods.
