Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by. Welcome to the AngioDynamics first quarter 2009 conference call. (Operator Instructions) I would now like to turn the conference over to Doug Sherk. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Operator and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us this afternoon for the AngioDynamics conference call to review the first quarter fiscal 2009 results for the period ended August 31, 2008. The news release announcing the first quarter earnings crossed the wire this afternoon shortly after the market closed and is available on the AngioDynamics website. We’ve arranged for a taped replay of this call which may be accessed by phone. The replay will become available approximately at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time this evening and remain available for seven days. The dial-in number to access the replay is 800-405-2236, or for international callers, 303-590-3000. Both numbers will need the pass code of 11119718 followed by the pound sign. This call is being broadcast live and an archived replay will be available. To access the webcast, go to the AngioDynamics website at www.angiodynamics.com. Before we get started, during the course of this conference call, the company will make projections or forward-looking statements regarding future events, including statements about the sales and the company’s beliefs about revenues and earnings for fiscal 2009. We encourage you to review the company’s past and future filings with the SEC, including without limitation the company’s Forms 10-Q and 10-K, which identify specific factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Management uses non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and believes that non-GAAP measures may assist investors in analyzing the underlying trends in the company’s business over time. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In this news release, the company -- in this conference call, the company has reported non-GAAP EBITDA and EBITDA per share. Management uses these measures in its internal analysis and review of operational performance. Finally, during the question-and-answer today, we request each caller to limit themselves to two questions and then encourage a re-queue to ask additional questions. In advance, we appreciate everyone’s cooperation with this procedure. And now I’d like to turn the call over to Eamomm Hobbs, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics.

Thanks, Doug, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. With me Joe Gersuk, our Chief Financial Officer. We made a lot of progress during the first quarter and as a result are on track to achieve our original top and bottom line guidance for the full fiscal year. As we look at our top line guidance for the full year, our first quarter revenue relative to the full year is right in line with our historic first quarter contribution to the full year. Since we last talked to you in late July, we’ve accomplished quite a bit. For instance, we’ve continued to successfully execute our five point program to build consistent revenue growth. We’ve established our three business units, oncology surgery, access, and peripheral vascular, to provide better focus. We’ve advanced the integration of the Diomed assets into our existing venous ablation product lines and operations. We’ve expanded our sales force significantly and we’ve continued to develop our game-changing IRE technology and the NanoKnife product line. All in all, fiscal 2009 is off to a very good start. We generated 18% overall net sales growth during the first quarter, which was our expectation. In a few moments, I’m going to turn the call over to Joe so he can review the details with you but I’d like to focus on a few highlights. The oncology surgery business unit had an excellent quarter with strong sales growth coming from our LTB product line. In addition, our venous ablation product line sales more than doubled over the year’s first quarter performance. Of course, a large portion of this growth resulted from the mid-June acquisition of the Diomed assets. During the quarter, we hired 35 former Diomed employees and immediately began implementing the laser system and disposable product transition strategies. Our team is doing an excellent job at converting appropriate Diomed customers to NeverTouch consumables and we are now exclusively selling Diomed lasers under the AngioDynamics brand. We had two issues during the quarter that kept us from an even better top line performance. We continue to be quite optimistic about the revenue potential of the combined product lines. Customer demand for EVLT disposable products remained solid during the quarter. However, first quarter laser system sales were impacted by the market’s uncertainty regarding Diomed during the month leading up to our acquisition. We believe we are gaining momentum in the marketplace and expect laser system sales to grow as the year progresses. The second issue was with the Morpheus CT PICCs product line within our access product units. During the quarter, we had a single component supply issue that limited our ability to ship. We’ve address the problem and believe this product line will be back to double-digit growth by our fiscal third quarter. Now, to give you more detail on the first quarter financial performance, I’d like to turn the call over to Joe.

Thank you, Eamomm and good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. From an operating perspective, the fiscal first quarter was a dynamic and productive quarter for us. Three strategic business units were established at the beginning of the fiscal year and a total of 194 engineering, sales, and marketing personnel have been assigned to the units. General managers for the peripheral vascular and access units have been in place and we are actively interviewing for a GM for the oncology surgery unit. We have also made considerable progress in hiring additional sales reps in the peripheral vascular and access units as Eamomm mentioned. The other major project this quarter was the June 17th closing of the acquisition of Diomed's assets in the U.S. and the U.K. Our total purchase cost was approximately $11 million. The transactions were structured such that we did not assume any liabilities associated with the predecessor corporations. We hired a total of 35 people with this acquisition, 21 of whom are in Cambridge, England, where the Delta Laser is manufactured and an international sales office is maintained. We will continue to manufacture lasers in Cambridge and will standardize on the Delta Laser for our VenaCure and the EVLT business. We are combining the Diomed international sales activity with the AngioDynamics international sales team in Europe, so we now have a total of 31 people in Europe in laser manufacturing and international sales activities. In the U.S., we hired 14 people from Diomed, a few of whom are in Andover, Massachusetts in a customer support office and the balance is spread across the U.S. in sales and clinical support roles. This group has been fully integrated into our peripheral vascular business unit. Our business plan for the fiscal year anticipated that the first quarter would be a transition period…

Thanks, Joe. I would like to update everyone on our plan to build consistent revenue growth and then review the substantial progress with IRE. First, I believe that by reiterating our outlook for fiscal 2009, which follows a very strong finish to fiscal 2008, we are continuing to improve our ability to forecast the trends of the business. Another component of improving our ability to forecast was to expand the sales team to more comprehensively serve our customers. This action led to the establishment of our three business units. Since we last talked with you in July, we’ve done a very good job of expanding the sales team. We filled a total of 18 expansion positions so far and expect to completely fill the remaining six positions by the end of Q2. This represents approximately a 40% increase in size of our peripheral vascular and access sales forces. We’ve also continued to build corporate account business during the quarter. We landed a contract with one of the largest GPOs, our second, and also added three regional agreements. We’ve also done a lot of background work required to implement an active product lifecycle management program and are also continuing to explore tuck-in acquisition opportunities. Turning to NanoKnife, we’ve made strong progress since we last talked with you in July. Substantial clinical and pre-clinical programs are planned at various prestigious institutions throughout the world. [inaudible] sponsored clinical studies for the treatment of liver, pancreatic, kidney, and lung lesions are expected to begin in our second and third fiscal quarters. During the quarter, we made progress in the development of pre-clinical programs for uterine fibroid ablation, pancreatic, lung, brain, liver, kidney, and endovascular therapies. To date, 17 prostate cancer patients have been treated with the NanoKnife and 12 have had two-week post-operative biopsies.…

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from the line of Phil Nalbone from RBC.

Good afternoon. Since I was just about to be told by Doug Sherk for a second time to ask only two questions, let me just say they are going to be two very complex, detailed questions -- get your pens ready here.

We just want to keep you on your toes, Phil.

Absolutely. Well, I’m flat on my back at the moment but hey, that’s okay. Listen, two quick questions here: number one, in complex fashion -- Eamomm, you cited two factors that might have hindered sales performance in the quarter, the Diomed capital equipment and the Morpheus CT PICC. Give us a little more detail on what happened with each and how much you think that might have cost you in the quarter. And as a part of that, do you see any threats to ongoing purchases of the laser capital equipment, given the economic environment and the tightening of the credit and lease financing markets? That’s question number one.

Okay, well, sorry to hear you are not feeling well, Phil, and hopefully you’ll be back on your feet shortly.

I’m just referring to the market environment, Eamomm. I’ll be fine, thanks.

Oh, all right. Well, as far as lasers go, as Joe pointed out we inherited really a bit of a mess in that the customer base was very concerned about the long-term viability of Diomed as an entity and laser sales had dried up significantly in the Diomed business prior to the acquisition. So it took us a large part of the Q to start to see that turn around where we could restore customer confidence in the Diomed laser, which is an excellent, excellent product, and we’ve replaced all our outsourced lasers with Diomed sales, Diomed laser sales. I don’t anticipate that there’s going to be a tremendous amount of impact from the overall market conditions because the majority of lasers that we sell are purchased outside of a leasing arrangement. We do still offer leasing arrangements and there is available credit to physicians but for the most part, it’s such a small number that they will typically finance them on something like MasterCard or Visa. Switching over to Morpheus, we had a problem that had to do with supply. It represented probably a million-dollar shortfall for the quarter, maybe a little more than that. We believe we’ve sorted that out in Q2 and it’s really a transient issue that we expect to be passed in Q2. So the net of all that was a -- let’s say -- you know, it’s hard to estimate but let’s say $0.5 million or so, so the total for the lasers and Morpheus was about $1.5 million, roughly. Maybe a little more.

Okay, great. Second question -- could you just give us an update on Centros in terms of progress with the manufacturing transition, when you expect to relaunch it, and in general terms, how much is baked in to your guidance for the full year from Centros?

Well, the Centros update is it’s looking more like Q4 than Q3 right now. Our total expectation for Centros on the year was $1.7 million. We are reiterating our guidance and still think that we have ample performance from the time available with Centros and other products to make up for any small shortfalls. We didn’t put a whole lot in for Centros because of the potential for delays, it being a new product, so --

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Christopher Warren from Caris & Company. Christopher Warren - Caris & Company: Thanks for taking the question. I wanted to drill down on the sales force additions. Could you just once again tell us how many you added in this quarter and how many more you are going to add, and how those additions relate to the folks you hire from Diomed?

We had 56 territories in our -- what was called interventional products group, which is now divided into peripheral vascular and access units. We’ve expanded that to 80 territories, of which we have 74 filled right now and we expect to have the remaining six filled certainly by the end of Q2, if not by the end of October. So we’ve made tremendous progress in being able to fully staff our sales force and expect to see the fruits of that as the year unfolds. Christopher Warren - Caris & Company: And just a follow-up as my second question -- talking in granular detail about how you get new revenue out of the reps you are adding, what is essential here? Are the new reps calling on new hospitals? Are they calling on departments that they didn’t previously call on by the former reps? Or is this just beating the same folks in the departments, or meeting them more frequently to convince them to use Angio products?

Well, I think the best way to look at it is that as we add territories, we add the ability for the sales reps to improve both the quantity and the quality of their sales calls. In addition, as we provided added focus with the SBU structure, they are really enjoying the ability to have a smaller bag of products that they can work on with their customers and they are not pulled in as many directions as they were being pulled with the much broader bag. So for instance, in the IPG combined sales force, an average territory really was challenged to balance their efforts to sell the endovenous laser therapy products as well as the access products. It really was a very, very broad product line that took them in too many different directions, albeit in the same departments, primarily, but different sort of nuances associated with the products. By focusing them on peripheral vascular and the access products, we really are getting tremendous feedback from the sales people that they are much more confident, much more effective from the customers perspective in adding value on every sales call because they have a smaller bag in which to focus.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brooks West from Craig-Hallum Capital.

Hi, guys. That’s a pretty good summer. I want to take advantage of Phil’s multi-part question here and my first one is on the Diomed acquisition and Joe, I have in my notes that you were going to have about two months of Diomed contribution in the quarter and I’m wondering if you might break out what the contribution from Diomed was in the quarter.

Yeah, we really can’t do that, Brook. It’s been fully integrated into the peripheral vascular business and we make no attempt to isolate the impact of it. You know, we’re selling all of the laser ablation products and the sales people are selling the full bag of peripheral vascular products so it’s just virtually impossible to segregate the incremental impact of Diomed in the quarter. The one thing I would say is that we talked last quarter about spending several cents per share of one-time costs associated with the transition, if you will, of rebranding and things like that and we spent less of that than we thought we would. It was probably something less than a penny a share impact from all of that in the quarter and we probably will only spend about a penny in the second quarter to do that work, so less overall for those one-time items but it really is impossible to carve out the incremental financial impacts from that.

Am I correct though on the -- just to follow-up on that, am I correct on the two months of contribution?

Yes, since mid-June.

Okay.

So a little more than two months.

And are you seeing, given that that’s basically an elected procedure, are you seeing procedure volumes holding there?

Maybe I’ll take a stab at that -- the summer months are historically a very, very slow period for laser vein ablation procedures because patients that are seeking the procedure usually get it done in the spring so that they can have the benefits all summer long. We see procedures pick up very significantly in our Q2, which is the fall, and then winter is very strong and then they peak again in the spring, so that patients can have their legs in great shape for the summer again. It’s very, very hard to extrapolate anything from Q1 but having said that, as Joe presented earlier, we had very, very strong consumable sales in the laser vein therapy area during Q1.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jayson Bedford from Raymond James. Jayson T. Bedford - Raymond James & Associates: Good afternoon. Just one question for Eamomm and one for Joe -- I guess Eamomm, just on the 12 NanoKnife installations, logistically what is required? And then is it just a little longer lead time than expected?

The logistics of an installation are we have to reach an agreement with the institution, with an understanding that we still own the equipment and we are putting it there to basically allow them to pursue whatever program we’ve agreed to. If they are going to pursue a physician-sponsored study, we need to understand in general terms what they are going to use the equipment for. It outlines the consumable usage and the cost of consumables based on usage, and also it involves an in-service of the facilities’ biomedical engineering teams who are going to be responsible for the equipment and an in-service of the clinicians as well as to how to use the equipment. So the summer months were really a tremendously difficult time to push installations because of all the vacations we had to deal with, both with our customers and the hospital staff and of course our own team. We’ve seen things pick up dramatically in the fall, so we’re making great progress as everybody’s come back to work and we are very encouraged by the tremendously positive response we’ve got from all the prestigious institutions. Jayson T. Bedford - Raymond James & Associates: Okay, thanks, Eamomm. And just quickly for Joe -- Joe, other expense was $250,000, roughly. You have net cash of $53 million, so I’m just wondering, what was in that other expense line?

Well, you have some interest expense in the quarter. We also had a loss on our interest rate swap that we have as a result of the movement of interest rates, a non-cash loss. It’s an accounting entry, just there because of the fact that the instrument we have doesn’t qualify for true swap accounting, so that was about $127,000 worth of loss in the quarter. And then bank fees as well are down there below the operating profit line and those were higher this quarter than they were a year ago. And a little bit of foreign exchange loss as well. Now with our U.K. subsidiary, we’ve established AngioDynamics U.K. Limited and we had about $78,000 worth of foreign exchange losses as well in the first quarter. So a variety of things fairly small, all of which went in that direction. But the preponderance, the biggest item of all of course was the interest, less interest income and that was the -- about $440,000 of difference.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Gregory Brash from Sidoti & Company. Gregory R. Brash - Sidoti & Company: Thanks for taking my questions. I’m curious on the gross margin side, a little higher than I was expecting. I don’t know if you have any -- if it’s just a mix issue, is that something we can look to sustain going forward, close to 62%, or would we expect it to rise -- I mean, were there any purchase R&D costs in there or anything of that nature?

Yeah, nothing abnormal, Greg. It was higher than we expected as well, to tell you the truth, and it can move by a percentage point up or down based on sales mix and even within our different business units on the specific products that we might be selling. Some are higher margins than others and we’ve said before that the oncology products have higher gross margins than the rest of the products in the other business units but it can fluctuate significantly. We did have some good manufacturing efficiencies which contributed this quarter and while we are reluctant to raise our guidance, what we said at the beginning of the year was 60% to 61% gross margins. You know, we are certainly off to a great start on gross margin but it won’t necessarily stay at this high level next quarter, so everything came together, if you will, and gave us the strong result in the first quarter. Gregory R. Brash - Sidoti & Company: Okay, and then I’m just also curious on the sales rep hires. I mean, you did add a lot in the quarter. I also thought that may -- you know, higher expenses because of that. Where were those hires spread out through the quarter, the beginning, middle? And should we expect expenses to ramp up as we head into Q2 here?

They came throughout the first quarter and will continue to come in the second quarter. We think we will have achieved that last six that Eamomm talked about by the end of Q2. We’re hiring them as fast as we can. It’s a good recruiting market, as you would expect, out there and I think the larger factor in that increase in sales and marketing expense if you are looking at it as a percentage of the sales dollar, would be on the marketing side and we are making some investments there, particularly with regard to IRE and some other activities, so it will continue at that fairly high level during the balance of the year.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jason Mills from Canaccord Adams.

Hi, this is Kris [inaudible] for Jason. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions on Jason’s behalf. If you look at the current run-rate, it suggests that both your sales and EPS will be below what you need over the balance of fiscal ’09 to reach your guidance. So we’re curious as what specific drivers do you foresee to accelerate your business to reach that guidance, notwithstanding a seasonally slow 1Q?

Sure, and I guess I’d just take a little bit exception there, Kris. If you were to look at our normal loading of sales over the course of the year over say the last five years, you would see that we do typically about 21% of sales in the first quarter and then it steps up to about 24%, then 25%, then 30% in the fourth quarter and so in this Q1, we actually did about 21% of what is our full-year guidance, if you were to take the midpoint of our guidance. So we think we are right on track with regard to the top line. And then on the bottom line, we typically make some investments early in the year and have less investments later in the year and the returns would come later as well, so we would think that the earnings level that we just reported is fully consistent with the earnings guidance for the full year.

Great. Thank you so much. I also wanted to get some -- and I may have missed this but did you state when you plan to start your IDEs or for IRA? And if so or if not, do you have your trial design already worked out, how many patients, primary endpoints, et cetera?

Well, we are currently working on draft IDEs now for a number of specific tissue indications. We have not disclosed when those trials will start. I don’t think we really will do that until we’ve worked out the details with the FDA on approved structure. But to review what our plan is with regard to IDEs, is that we currently already enjoy an approved indication for general tissue resection, soft tissue resection, which is a general indication, so physicians can use the -- can purchase the system and use it freely for whatever they deem appropriate. We certainly will limit our marketing efforts to the general indication that we have approval for. But as we roll the system out, there is certainly a perceived benefit to being able to, in a marketing fashion, specifically discuss tissue types and the benefits, potential benefits of using the system on a specific tissue like prostate, like liver, like lung, et cetera. So we are looking to do these clinical studies in order to gain additional indications for marketing purposes. In parallel with all that, we believe that there will be a tremendous amount of data generated under the general approval, because there is no such thing as soft tissue. It all boils down to some specific tissue and the use of the system under its current approval is going to certainly constitute an opportunity for clinicians to generate a whole lot of data on their experience with the system. So it’s going to be a parallel program of current marketing under the current indication and expanding our indications as opportunities present themselves. Timing wise, I would hope that we can initiate IDE clinical trials before the end of the fiscal year.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Shekhar Basu from Basu Capital.

Thank you for taking my call. I had a question on the NanoKnife opportunity in prostate cancer. I am wondering how you are able to detect the cells that are cancerous or need to be ablated when the diagnostic methods and the biopsies available are themselves inaccurate in detecting cancer versus normal cells.

Well, the way the NanoKnife works is it does not discriminate between cancerous cells and healthy cells. It will treat the cell membranes of all the cells in the treatment zone, with the exception of nerve cells, which are insulated and protected from the pulse energy, electrical pulse energy of the NanoKnife system. So the treatment zone is -- everything in the treatment zone with the exception of the nerves and the critical structures that are made up of primarily a collagen-elastin matrix are going to be treated. So all of the cellular material in the treatment zone will be affected. The biopsy methods or the diagnostic methods vary by tissue type. In the liver, there are many different diagnostic methods to identify the treatment zone that are imaging-oriented in other areas, such as prostate, for instance. Imaging has not proven to be specific enough and biopsies are required, matrix biopsies are required in order to identify what part of the prostate needs to be treated, if not all of the prostate.

Thank you. You’ve done a study previously and disclosed the biopsy data as a result of this procedure and you were going to follow with some PSA data and I’m wondering when the PSA data will be available and when you might be initiating and completing the multi-physician study.

Well, the PSA data is rolling in. So far we’ve had very excellent PSA results. They’ve been in large treatment zones where the vast majority, if not all of the prostate, was treated with NanoKnifes, the PSAs were undetectable and commensurate with what you would expect from a radical prostatectomy. And unlike other treatments of the prostate, there did not appear to be a big spike in PSA post-treatment, which was very interesting. But we haven’t completed PSAs on all the patients yet. I would hope that we would be able to present that data as it’s given to us before the end of the calendar year, hopefully. But that study is actually a physician sponsored study, so we are limited by the data as it is presented by the physician. With regard to a multi-center trial, our next step in prostate is the Italian trail that’s being conducted by Dr. Maurizio Brausi and subsequent to that, we’ll be looking to -- a most likely scenario is immediately subsequent to that, we would be looking to pursue an IDE multi-center trial in the prostate. So timing on that would probably be in the best case in the first half of calendar 2009, as far as beginning.

Our next question comes from the line of Larry [Haimovitch] from HMTC.

A question for Joe -- you mentioned it looked like a true operating cash flow was about $8.5 million in the quarter. I just wanted to verify that and ask you if that’s multiplying by four for the four quarters is kind of a reasonable guess about the cash flow for the year.

Yeah, that figure is if you exclude the impact of the cash we paid to VNUS as that one-time settlement.

Sort of a normalized cash flow with just normal operations would be $8.5 million?

Yeah.

Okay. Joe or Eamomm, when you look at NanoKnife, what approximately is the investment in NanoKnife this year? Have you got any kind of number for us on what that might be?

Well, it depends on how you look at it. The R&D investment in NanoKnife this year is approximately $10 million. But if you consider all the efforts we are putting into NanoKnife in sales and marketing and business development activities, it’s far higher than that. So clearly NanoKnife constitutes a massive investment for AngioDynamics this fiscal year.

It affects R&D, sales, marketing, everything, largely across the board. Certainly the amortization of intangibles as well. We’re amortizing the purchase cost of those patents as well.

You have a follow-up question from the line of Brooks West from Craig-Hallum Capital.

On the access business, Eamomm, it looks like if you add back the $1 million shortfall of the Morpheus PICC, you get to a 12%-ish growth rate in access, which would be kind of the low range of the revenue growth guidance you gave us last quarter. I’m just wondering what else is going on in that business -- you know, on the port side of the business and do you feel that you can still get to maybe the higher end of the guidance range for that product category?

Yeah, I think we can, over time. The distraction caused by the supply issue was very significant and really caused a lot of heart-burn for our sales force who had to deal with the situation by juggling product and customers and the like. We’ve certainly cut into their ability to drive the revenues in other products as well. So sort of one thing led to another and the burning issue of the day had to be dealt with as the top priority. So we expect that Q2 we will be -- certainly by the end of Q2, we’ll be out of the woods on that issue completely and that Q3 will hopefully not have any issues and we can start to see that business increase its revenue growth rate percentage pretty significantly.

And the port -- how is the port business going?

Ports were very strong in Q1. The port business is everything we hoped it would be and more. We are very, very excited about our port business and expect a lot of good things this year out of it.

Great. Thank you.

We have a follow-up question from the line of Jayson Bedford from Raymond James. Jayson T. Bedford - Raymond James & Associates: Just one quick one -- in terms of NanoKnife, is the procedure being reimbursed in these trials? And then I guess just at what level? Thank you.

That’s an excellent question and because of the units that we placed out there are in a myriad of different institutions being used for a myriad of different applications under the soft tissue indication, the answer is it depends on the facts and circumstances but the clinicians believe that NanoKnife is going to be reimbursed for the majority of the procedures that they are going to do, unless they are in a structure trial where the cost of the procedure are being underwritten in some other way. So in the normal course of doing procedures, they do expect that the reimbursement will be there. There are a number of ways they can slice that. We are certainly helping them with that and until there’s definitive codes, which won’t be for years to come, there will be different avenues of attack by the clinicians in structuring how they get, how they bill for reimbursement. Jayson T. Bedford - Raymond James & Associates: All right. Will it go under an RF or a cryo code, or -- ?

Sometimes. Well, I’m not sure about cryo but certainly there’s been some discussion of billing for an ablation, RF ablation. But there’s also been discussions of surgical resection, using surgical resection codes.

Our next question comes from the line of Ronald Goodson from Goodson & [Marilu]. Ronald Goodson - Goodson & Marilu: Two questions -- the prostate procedure that they are using, this is not requiring an operating room environment with support staff and so forth, is it? Or is this an out-patient procedure?

Well, the procedure has currently been conducted under general anesthesia and that has been done in an ambulatory surgery center scenario, OR. The procedures have all been conducted -- I believe all of the cases were conducted as an out-patient procedure. None of the patients, if memory serves, had any reason to be kept overnight. So I would think that for at least the immediate future, the NanoKnife procedures are going to be conducted under general anesthesia and we would hope to evolve over time to the ability to be able to conduct this over under conscious sedation or even less, depending on the application. Ronald Goodson - Goodson & Marilu: Thank you. The next question, with the credit crisis, are you considering any programs to assist customers with a long-term pay-back to the company, instead of them having to achieve financing of their own? You said they were putting things on credit cards and stuff. But if you roll out the NanoKnife and stuff, they are not going to throw a $400,000 machine on a credit card.

No, we didn’t say we were using credit cards, although we do take credit cards and we do have a leasing program that historically has not been used very much but now with the Diomed acquisition, we are beginning to use it more and we have reaffirmed the relationship there and have been told that the company very much wants to continue with us and that their leasing company is not in any imminent danger. But the hospitals who are our largest customers today continue to give us purchase orders and pay within the normal credit terms, so we aren’t seeing any pressure from them to do anything different from what we did in the past.

I would add to that that we are considering programs that are based on spreading out the capital purchase over a longer period of time for NanoKnife in order to stimulate sales. But as we mentioned in the call, we have -- so far we’ve written two very detailed quotes for NanoKnife systems which are significant capital purchases and we haven’t gotten any feedback that the current credit crunch has impeded the customers’ ability to be able to execute the purchase.

(Operator Instructions) We have a follow-up question from the line of Jason Mills from Canaccord Adams.

I wanted to know if you guys could give us an idea of what percentage GPO comprised of sales in the quarter and what the -- give us the year-ago number if you and also let us know, if you can, what you expect going forward.

The GPO segment of the business is virtually impossible to calculate at this stage because we really have only recently received GPO contracts and they provide -- they are multi-source contracts, so they provide us really with a hunting license at an established price and we have yet to go through a cycle where we can, or we have calculated the fees associated with compliance with the GPO contract. But I would expect that it won’t be until Q3 of this year, this fiscal year, where we see any real material data available on the impact, the positive impact of GPOs for our business.

At this time, I show no further questions in the queue. I would like to turn the call back over to management for any closing remarks.
