For the quarter ending March 31, 2006, the Company incurred $1,102,832 in operating expenses compared to $679,536 during the same period in 2005. The majority of the increase in expenses was attributed to additional software development costs, as well as expenditures associated with the increase in revenues.

During the quarter the Company installed an additional 393 solutions and integrated five additional medical laboratories.
