Financing was secured at attractive, flexible terms to allow for
repurchase of shares without hindering operating cash flow.

Systems generated revenues of $3,204,786, a decrease of $505,233 or
13.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. This decrease is

provision for uncollectable accounts, and $50,000 less investor
relations costs.

net operating income of $197,278 in the third quarter of 2010. After
