As disclosed in the Company's 8-K filed on December 5, 2005, the Company's subsidiary's (Lancer Orthodontics) financial statements are no longer consolidated with Biomerica's financial statements, effective December 1, 2005. Therefore consolidated net sales for the nine months of fiscal 2007 are lower (see financials below).

"We expect continued growth in our diagnostic business," stated Zackary Irani, Biomerica CEO. "As we close the ninth consecutive quarter of profitability, we look forward to new product introductions in the upcoming months that should enhance our product lines."
