Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Reporting
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All sales, domestic and foreign, are made in U.S. dollars and therefore currency fluctuations are believed to have no impact on ThermoGenesis Corp’s (the “Company”) net revenues. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2007. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
The balance sheet at June 30, 2006, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue including multiple element arrangements, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21, Revenue Agreements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. Revenue is recognized as specific elements indicated in sales contracts are executed. If an element is essential to the functionality of an arrangement, the entire arrangement’s revenue is deferred until that essential element is delivered. The fair value of each undelivered element that is not essential to the functionality of the system is deferred until performance or delivery occurs. The fair value of an undelivered element is based on vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value as appropriate. If an undelivered element exists, the Company will determine the fair value of the undelivered element and subtract the fair value of the undelivered element from the total consideration under the arrangement. The residual amount is the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the delivered element. Costs associated with inconsequential or perfunctory elements in multiple element arrangements are accrued at the time of revenue recognition. The Company accounts for training and installation as a separate element of a multiple element arrangement. The Company therefore recognizes the fair value of training and installation services upon their completion when the Company is obligated to perform such services. For licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company receives up-front licensing fees for products or technologies that will be provided by the Company over the term of the arrangements, the Company defers the up-front fees and recognizes the fees as revenue on a straight-line method over the term of the respective license. For license agreements that require no continuing performance on the Company’s part, license fee revenue is recognized immediately upon grant of the license.
Milestone payments the Company receives under collaborative arrangements are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone events, which represent the culmination of the earnings process, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Milestone payments are triggered by the results of the Company’s development efforts. Accordingly, the milestone payments are substantially at risk at the inception of the contract, and the amounts of the payments assigned thereto are commensurate with the milestone achieved. Upon the achievement of a milestone event, which may include acceptance by the counterparty, the Company has no future performance obligations related to that milestone as the milestone payments received by the Company are nonrefundable. The direct costs, primarily labor, of product development contracts are deferred until the development revenue is recognized.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Revenue Recognition (Continued)
Revenues from the sale of the Company’s products are recognized upon transfer of title. The Company generally ships products F.O.B. shipping point at its office. There is no conditional evaluation on any product sold and recognized as revenue. All foreign sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company’s foreign sales are generally through distributors. There is no right of return provided for distributors. For sales of products made to distributors, the Company considers a number of factors in determining whether revenue is recognized upon transfer of title to the distributor, or when the distributor places the product with an end-user. These factors include, but are not limited to, whether the payment terms offered to the distributor are considered to be non-standard, the distributor history of adhering to the terms of its contractual arrangements with the Company, the level of inventories maintained by the distributor, whether the Company has a pattern of granting concessions for the benefit of the distributor, or whether there are other conditions that may indicate that the sale to the distributor is not substantive. The Company currently recognizes revenue primarily on the sell-in method with its distributors. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in product and other revenues, while the related costs are included in cost of product and other revenues. Service revenue generated from contracts for providing maintenance of equipment is amortized over the life of the agreement. All other service revenue is recognized at the time the service is completed. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. Anti-dilutive securities, which consist of stock options, warrants and common stock restricted awards that were not included in diluted net loss per common share were 2,953,633 and 2,883,816 as of September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”) to provide guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. Under SAB No. 108, companies should evaluate a misstatement based on its impact on the current year income statement, as well as the cumulative effect of correcting such misstatements that existed in prior years existing in the current year’s ending balance sheet. SAB No. 108 will become effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SAB No. 108 on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements.
2. Short-term Investments
Short-term investments consisted of the following at September 30, 2006:
                                 
            Gross   Gross    
    Amortized   Unrealized   Unrealized   Estimated
(in thousands)   Cost   Gains   Losses   Fair Value

U.S. government and agency securities
  $ 31,697     $ 10       ($9 )   $ 31,698  
The aggregate amount of unrealized losses and fair value of U.S. government and agency securities, which are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and less than twelve months, are $9 and $7,955 respectively. The unrealized loss on these investments are temporary, as the duration of the decline in the value of the investments has been short; the extent of the decline, both in dollars and percentage of cost is not considered significant; and the Company has the ability and intent to hold the investments until at least substantially all of the cost of the investments is recovered.

4. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty
The Company offers a one-year warranty for parts only on all of its non-disposable products. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Company’s product liability during the period are as follows:
         
(in thousands)

5. Stockholder’s Equity
Stock Based Compensation
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in fiscal year 2007 and 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R). As a result, a non-cash charge of $339,000 and $195,000 was charged to compensation expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The following is a summary of option activity for the Company’s stock option plans:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by these forward-looking statements. The Company wishes to caution readers of the important factors, among others, that in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect the Company’s actual results and could cause actual results for fiscal year 2007, and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These factors include without limitation, the ability to obtain capital and other financing in the amounts and at the times needed to complete clinical trials and product marketing for new products, market acceptance of new products, regulatory approval and time frames for such approval of new products and new claims for existing products, realization of forecasted income and expenses, initiatives by competitors, price pressures, the risks associated with initiating manufacturing for new products, and the risk factors listed from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports, including, in particular, the factors and discussion in the Company’s Form 10-K for its last fiscal year.
Introduction
The Company designs and manufactures medical devices and disposables for the distributed manufacturing of “personalized” cell therapy and surgical wound care products such as units of umbilical cord blood stem cells, fibrin sealant and thrombin. These products typically originate from the blood or tissue of the patient or a single human leukocyte antigen (“HLA”) typed and pathogen screened placenta or living donor. Cell therapy and surgical wound care products are broad, rapidly growing fields of medicine that involves the collection, purification, manipulation and administration of somatic stem cells, wound healing proteins or growth factors to treat malignant or genetic blood diseases or wounds incurred during surgery, tailored to individual patients. This methodology of personalized treatment is considerably different than practices with generic conventional pharmaceutical drugs. Pharmaceutical drugs are produced in large quantities and are effective on most patients with similar underlying medical conditions. Additionally, these drugs typically consist of inert materials that can be stored in medicine cabinets at room temperature. In contrast, “personalized” cell therapy and surgical wound care products are manufactured one at a time, are intended for a single patient and require extremely low storage temperatures (-196°C in some cases) in order to preserve the cells, blood proteins or growth factors.
The Company’s products can address a broad range of cell therapy and surgical wound care treatments. Until the middle of the 1990s, researchers were familiar with only two major types of stem cells, embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. However, recent years have seen the emergence of a category of stem cells called somatic stem cells that are found in umbilical cord blood or bone marrow and other tissues of the body. Somatic stem cells are capable of a wide range of differentiation into several highly diverse cell types such as nerve cells, muscle cells and hematopoietic cells. Somatic stem cells have come into focus as fundamental units of development and maintenance of the adult organism as well as an attractive tool for tissue regeneration.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Continued)
Introduction (Continued)
The ability to obtain large quantities of somatic stem cells able to produce mature muscle, nerve or pancreatic cells is useful in the development of clinical treatments for genetic diseases. This clinical practice is “personalized” medicine which utilizes either an individual’s own somatic stem cells, thus circumventing problems of immune rejection associated with implantation of allogeneic tissue or blood cells, or utilizes immunologically matched tissue or stem cells.
Cell therapy and surgical wound care products can be characterized by (1) the source of the somatic stem cells (e.g., neonatal, adult, or perhaps, in the future, embryonic) (2) the source of blood proteins or growth factors (e.g., from the patient or a matched single donor), (3) the cell progeny in the final product (e.g., hematopoietic, mesenchymal, dendritic cells, chondrocytes, etc.), (4) the disease targeted (e.g., bone marrow rescue, diabetes, myocardial infarction, Parkinson’s), and (5) the type of manipulation (e.g., cell isolation, capture, expansion, gene modification, cryopreservation, cryoprecipitation or chemical fractionation). Critical factors in providing acceptable “personalized” cell therapy and surgical wound care products are that they be precisely identified and tracked from their source to the receiving patient and that every manufacturing step, such as harvesting, processing, freezing, transporting, matching and administering, preserves the potency of the product.
The Company’s BioArchive and AXP products and intellectual property are designed to ensure that the therapeutic cells are fully functional at time of transplant, which may be months or years after production and storage. We believe that the Company’s products, contain substantial advantages over other products and practices in enabling the precision manufacturing of cell therapy and surgical wound care products in a safe sterile environment which will reduce the loss of cells and loss of cell viability at each step of the process from collection to administration.
Cell Therapy
The BioArchive System, an automated cryogenic device, is used by cord blood stem cell banks in more than 25 countries for cryopreserving and archiving cord blood stem cell units for transplant. GE Healthcare is the global distribution partner for the BioArchive System. The BioArchive System has initially been configured to automate the cryopreservation and archiving in liquid nitrogen of units of hematopoietic stem cells sourced from umbilical cord blood. Cord blood stem cell units have been used more than 10,000 times to treat leukemias, lymphomas, diverse inherited anemias, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, and other life threatening genetic diseases.
The Company completed development of the AXP System in fiscal 2006, and initiated a Master File of the product with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The AXP System is an innovative product which semi-automates the isolation and concentration of hematopoietic stem cells from cord blood into a fixed 20 ml volume in a functionally closed sterile environment. It includes a compact battery powered device and a proprietary disposable bag set. The AXP System replaces the current clinical process which is typically an 18-step manual method over a ninety (90) minute period with a semi-automated process requiring only thirty (30) minutes. The manual process requires the introduction of sedimentation agents or density gradient media into the cord blood and requires a clean room along with trained technicians to accomplish. The AXP System completes its processing without these agents or media with a higher cell recovery rate in a functionally closed bag set in thirty (30) minutes. Included in the set is a 25 ml freezing bag which can be archived in the BioArchive System.

Introduction (Continued)
To date, our BioArchive System and related products are purchased predominantly by specialized cord blood stem cell banks and stem cell research facilities. The sales of BioArchive devices have been dependent on start-up and ongoing funding costs associated with new stem cell banks as the science evolved. In more recent periods governmental funding of cord blood banks, as well as more recognized therapeutic benefits from this stem cell treatment appear to be increasing demand for cord blood stem cell transplants.
Surgical Wound Care
The CryoSeal System produces a second-generation surgical sealant which harvests the two interactive protein component solutions of a fibrin sealant: (1) the wound healing proteins of fibrinogen, fibronectin, Factor VIII, von Willebrands Factor and Factor XIII and (2) the activating enzyme, thrombin from the patient’s own blood. When combined at the bleeding wound site, the two components form an adhesive gel that stops bleeding and bonds tissue. This advanced surgical sealant may be manufactured in either hospitals or blood centers and competes with conventional fibrin sealants, sourced from “pools” of plasma purchased from up to ten thousand individuals.
The Company completed a 150 patient blinded, randomized multi-center U.S. clinical trial for the CryoSeal System and sales in the U.S. are pending the required FDA approval following our Premarket Approval (“PMA”), submitted December 28, 2005. The study reached its primary end point, which was to demonstrate equivalency (i.e. that results obtained using the CryoSeal FS System were “non-inferior” to results achieved with the control). The data in fact demonstrated that patients treated with CryoSeal FS showed “superiority” (statistically significant quicker time to hemostasis) versus the control group. The Company has received CE Mark approval for the system enabling its sale and use in Europe, however sales into individual countries under cost reimbursement structures often require the existence of supporting clinical usage within the individual country. We have, through our distribution partners in Europe, initiated more aggressive marketing including a number of clinical trials. In Japan, our distributor, Asahi, has completed enrollment in their pivotal clinical trial and filed their PMA equivalent in March 2005 with approval expected in first half of calendar 2007.
The TPD, a product line extension of the CryoSeal platform, is a small stand alone disposable that isolates and captures activated autologous thrombin from approximately 11 ml of patient blood plasma. Thrombin is used as a topical hemostatic agent for minor bleeding sites, to treat pseudoaneurysms and to release growth factors from platelets.
The Company’s legacy is in its ThermoLine™ products for ultra rapid freezing and thawing of blood components, which the Company distributes to blood banks and hospitals. We are currently evaluating continuation of the ThermoLine, or divestiture, consistent with our strategic direction emphasizing the cell therapy and surgical wound care market. Beginning in late 1993, and with accelerated research and development efforts from 1996 to present, the Company completed development of the BioArchive, AXP and CryoSeal technology platforms.

Introduction (Continued)
In our early history, our revenue was derived principally from the sale of our blood plasma freezers and thawers. With the launch of our BioArchive System in 1999, we realized revenue increases due to the sale of that equipment. The installed base of our medical devices is designed to drive increases in revenue due to the recurring sale of disposables. We anticipate similar revenue increases from disposable sales related to the CryoSeal System and AXP System when the installed base of units increases, however there is no assurance that this will occur. With our efforts increasingly directed at both the cell therapy and tissue therapy markets, and our re-evaluation of the strategic relevance of our ThermoLine business, we will continue to assess our internal resources needs and operational structure. As part of those efforts, and with additional products staging to come on the market, we plan to significantly increase our staffing levels in engineering, scientific research, sales and marketing and management during fiscal 2007 in an effort to accelerate product launches and product development, as we pursue increased revenue.
The Company has announced a number of important agreements, summarized as follows:
In March of 2005, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement with Biomet Biologicals, formerly Cell Factors Technologies, Inc., an Indiana corporation and an affiliate of Biomet, Inc. (“Biomet”). Under the agreement, the Company will manufacture a thrombin disposable and reagent for the Clotalyst System. The Clotalyst System is Biomet’s autologous clotting factor device and blood processing disposables. The Company assumes the role of manufacturer for Biomet of the Clotalyst device and blood processing disposals for a term of five years. The agreement requires Biomet, upon FDA clearance, to purchase a minimum quantity of 20,000 devices per year. Biomet has paid a one time advance fee for engineering and development of the product.
In July 2005, the Company entered into a non-exclusive, five-year distribution agreement with Biomet to supply Biomet with the Company’s existing CE marked TPD for sale in Europe for all applications and worldwide for spinal applications in order to allow them to immediately begin marketing their platelet gel product. Previously, Biomet had been selling bovine thrombin with their platelet gel product.
In October 2005, the Company entered into a five-year agreement with GE Healthcare (formerly Amersham Biosciences AB), which outlined the terms of a strategic relationship between the Company and GE Healthcare. Pursuant to this agreement, (i) GE Healthcare becomes the exclusive worldwide distributor and service provider for the Company’s BioArchive and AXP products, (ii) GE Healthcare agreed to provide the Company with certain funds upon execution of the agreement and over the ensuing 15 months and (iii) GE Healthcare and the Company agreed to collaborate on certain future improvements to these product lines.
In November 2005, the Company entered into a non-exclusive, five-year distribution and product modification agreement with Medtronic to supply the CE marked TPD for sale with Medtronic’s Magellan Platelet Separation Device. This agreement intends to allow the sale of an all autologous platelet gel. Initially, Medtronic will sell the TPD-enabled Magellan product in Europe and Canada.

Introduction (Continued)
In July 2006, the Company entered into a Product Development and Supply Agreement with Biomet. Under the development phase of this agreement, Biomet will pay the Company $1.1 million in milestone payments to develop a fibrinogen concentration kit containing the Company’s CryoSeal II kit. The Company will grant intellectual property license rights to Biomet and its affiliates to manufacture, use and sell the product for use in surgical hemostats, graft delivery systems and surgeries. The Company has the right of first offer to manufacture the product; and if the Company does not manufacture the product, Biomet will pay a royalty. The agreement has a term of 5 years.
The following is Management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during the period included in the accompanying financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company 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, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, warranties, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Shared-Based Payments (“FAS 123(R)”). Under FAS 123(R), compensation cost is calculated on the date of the grant using the Black Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. The compensation expense is then amortized over the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula in determining the fair value of the Company’s options at the grant date and applies judgment in estimating the key assumptions that are critical to the model such as the expected term, volatility and forfeiture rate of an option. The Company’s estimate of these key assumptions is based on historical information and judgment regarding market factors and trends. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and judgments used in estimating the key assumptions, the Company may be required to record additional compensation or income tax expense, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue including multiple element arrangements, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21, Revenue Agreements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. Revenue is recognized as specific elements indicated in sales contracts are executed. If an element is essential to the functionality of an arrangement, the entire arrangement’s revenue is deferred until that essential element is delivered. The fair value of each undelivered element that is not essential to the functionality of the system is deferred until performance or delivery occurs. The fair value of an undelivered element is based on vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value as appropriate. If an undelivered element exists, the Company will determine the fair value of the undelivered element and subtract the fair value of the undelivered element from the total consideration under the arrangement. The residual amount is the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the delivered element. Costs associated with inconsequential or perfunctory elements in multiple element arrangements are accrued at the time of revenue recognition. The Company accounts for training and installation as a separate element of a multiple element arrangement. The Company therefore recognizes the fair value of training and installation services upon their completion when the Company is obligated to perform such services. For licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company receives up-front licensing fees for products or technologies that will be provided by the Company over the term of the arrangements, the Company defers the up-front fees and recognizes the fees as revenue on a straight-line method over the term of the respective license. For license agreements that require no continuing performance on the Company’s part, license fee revenue is recognized immediately upon grant of the license.
Milestone payments the Company receives under collaborative arrangements are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone events, which represent the culmination of the earnings process, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Milestone payments are triggered by the results of the Company’s development efforts. Accordingly, the milestone payments are substantially at risk at the inception of the contract, and the amounts of the payments assigned thereto are commensurate with the milestone achieved. Upon the achievement of a milestone event, which may include acceptance by the counterparty, the Company has no future performance obligations related to that milestone as the milestone payments received by the Company are nonrefundable. The direct costs, primarily labor, of product development contracts are deferred until the development revenue is recognized.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would be charged against earnings.
Warranty:
The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)
Inventory Reserve:
The Company plans inventory procurement and production based on orders received, forecasted demand and supplier requirements. The Company writes down its inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and its net realizable value based upon estimates about future demand from our customers and distributors and market conditions. Because some of the Company’s products are highly dependent on government and third-party funding, current customer use and validation, and completion of regulatory and field trials, there is a risk that we will forecast incorrectly and purchase or produce excess inventory. As a result, actual demand may differ from forecasts, and such a difference may have a material adverse effect on future results of operations due to required write-offs of excess or obsolete inventory. This inventory risk may be further compounded for the CryoSeal family of products because they are at initial market introduction and market acceptance will depend upon the customer accepting the products as clinically useful, reliable, accurate and cost effective compared to existing and future products and completion of required clinical or field acceptance trials.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
Net Revenues:
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $4,305,000, compared to $2,116,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $2,189,000 or 103%. Cell Therapy revenues were $3,198,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,454,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2006 period, an increase of $1,744,000 or 120%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to sales of seven BioArchives during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to three sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The AXP product line revenues were $493,000 of Cell Therapy revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as compared to zero for the corresponding period of the prior year. Sales of Cell Therapy spare parts were $320,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $311,000. Cell Therapy revenues also increased due to the amortization of the distribution and license fees paid by GE Healthcare in accordance with the International Distribution Agreement. Included in the Cell Therapy revenues noted was $787,000 generated from the sales of BioArchive disposables for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $113,000 or 17%.

for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Continued)
Results of Operations (Continued)
Surgical Wound Care revenues were $639,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $150,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The increase is primarily due to $300,000 in development milestone payments, the sale of three CryoSeal devices during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, versus none during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and an increase in sales of the TPD and CryoSeal processing disposable.
The revenue increases noted above were offset by a decrease in revenues of $44,000 from our legacy product line, the ThermoLine.
Cost of Revenues:
Total cost of revenues as a percent of revenues was 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to 72% for the corresponding fiscal 2006 period. The improvement in gross margin is due to the increase in volume of Cell Therapy devices, both BioArchive and AXP and the increase in revenues from licenses, milestone payments and royalties.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,312,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,584,000 for the fiscal 2006 period, an increase of $728,000 or 46%. The increase is primarily due to recruiting expenses associated with the hiring of sales and marketing personnel for the Surgical Wound Care product line and initiating searches for senior management of Cell Therapy and general operations. Also, there was an increase in stock compensation expense due to options granted and vested during the quarter.
Research and Development Expenses:
Included in this line item are Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, Scientific and Clinical Affairs.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006, were $962,000 compared to $1,073,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2006 period, a decrease of $111,000 or 10%. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the costs associated with the design and development services for the AXP System, which was launched during fiscal 2006 and a decrease in clinical trial costs related to the completed CryoSeal FS human clinical trial.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $38,372,000 and working capital of $41,537,000. This compares to cash and short-term investments of $38,999,000 and working capital of $42,342,000 at June 30, 2006. The cash was used to fund operations and other cash needs of the Company. In addition to product revenues, the Company has primarily financed operations through the private and public placement of equity securities and has raised approximately $106 million, net of expenses, through common and preferred stock financings and option and warrant exercises. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $1,034,000, primarily due to the net loss of $1,096,000, offset by depreciation and stock based compensation expense of $111,000 and $342,000, respectively. Accounts receivable generated $424,000 of cash as a result of the timing of sales and payments from customers. Inventories utilized $455,000 of cash as a result of increasing our inventories to support our anticipated revenue growth.
We believe that our currently available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, if we experience significant growth in the future, we may be required to raise additional cash through the issuance of new debt or additional equity.
Backlog
The Company’s cancelable backlog at September 30, 2006 was $844,000.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
All sales, domestic and foreign, are made in U.S. dollars and therefore material fluctuations in foreign currency rates are believed to have no impact on the Company’s net revenues. The Company has no long-term investments or long-term debt, other than a capital lease, and therefore is not subject to interest rate risk. Management does not believe that inflation has had or will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company is not exposed to any market risk involving activities in derivative commodity instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of our fiscal quarter pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring 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 changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
