Industry and Market Overview



Color Business Printers



Historically, the office environment has been dominated by monochrome (black and white) printers for document printing.  Color printing was seen as extravagant and cost prohibitive, and therefore only used for high-impact communications where color was critical.  However with decreasing printer prices, color printing has become increasingly common.  Today, the production of color documents in the office is less the exception and more the norm, and with many favorable market drivers, the use of color documents is expected to grow.  The result  while monochrome printer shipments are flat to declining, color printer shipments are growing rapidly.



While monochrome printers are predominately based on laser technology, there are three significant technologies in color printing:  inkjet, toner-based color laser and color solid ink.



Inkjet printers are typically very inexpensive to buy, print slowly, and produce their best images on expensive special papers.  In general, they are expensive to operate.  However, their low purchase price (sometimes almost free) has made them ubiquitous for home printing.  As well, they are often found in small businesses where print volumes are low.



Where faster print speeds and lower cost of ownership are desired, color laser and color solid ink dominate.  Color laser printers are very similar to monochrome laser printers, except they use four toner cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) instead of a single black cartridge.  Color solid ink printers utilize a very different technology.  These printers consume solid ink sticks, again in four colors.  Solid ink sticks can be thought of as large crayons, which when placed into the printer, are melted and jetted.  While color laser printers are available from almost all of the major printer vendors, only Xerox has been successful in commercializing solid ink for the office environment.



The adoption of color in the office has been facilitated by lower costs of acquisition such as sub-$1000 and sub-$500 color laser and solid ink printers along with increased print speeds, quality and reliability. In addition to the lower costs, favorable market dynamics are driving the use of office color printers. Primary contributors are the use of internet, which has broadened the acceptance of color communication, the distribute and print model, where digital document delivery is enhanced with localized printing as a way to shorten turnaround times and reduce production costs as well as the dominance of color printing in the home and school.



Color printers include single function printers (which only print) and multi-function printers (MFPs) which often print, copy, scan and fax.  Typically, MFPs drive more output.



The worldwide installed base of color laser and solid ink printers and multi-function printers is expected to grow from just under 10 million units in 2005 to just over 30 million units in 2010, reflecting an aggregate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.4% (color laser and solid ink multi-function printer compound annual growth rate of 41.6% and single-function color laser and solid ink printer compound annual growth rate of 24.2%) (source: Lyra Research, Inc. Hard Copy Industry Advisory Service, First-Half 2007 Forecast). In addition, the 2006  2010 compound annual growth rate of worldwide color laser cartridge revenues is expected to exceed 20%, resulting in a $11 billion expansion of those revenues during that time period.



Today, the dominant sources of color printer supplies are the printer manufacturers or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) themselves. These manufacturers discount the cost of the printer hardware to gain market share, in an effort to capture the recurring profitable revenue stream of supplies.  Further the strength of their established brands and distribution often result in their product being the only option offered to a consumer.



Today, the aftermarket is robust for monochrome remanufactured and new build toner cartridges.  Approximately 32% of the monochrome cartridges purchased in 2006 were aftermarket cartridges.  In contrast, only 7% of the color laser cartridges purchased in 2006 were aftermarket cartridges.  The aftermarket for color cartridges has lagged monochromes adoption of aftermarket supplies, as the cost of color printers has remained high relative to monochrome printers, thereby sustaining a perception of risk when using an alternative to the printer manufacturers brand.  With recent declines in the cost of office color printers, the perceived risk is diminishing and users are

increasing their pace of adoption of aftermarket color printer supplies.  Further, the monochrome aftermarket has benefited from Hewlett-Packards (HP®) dominance as it has allowed for a concentration of resources to be focused on relatively few products that address a significant portion of the market.  While HP is the market leader in office color printers, the market is much more diffuse, requiring many more unique products to address an equally broad segment of the market.



Lyra Research (Hard Copy Industry Advisory Service, First-Half 2007 Forecast) estimates that the aftermarket share of color laser cartridge shipments will increase to 10% by 2010.  As the market matures, we believe that the color market will ultimately mirror the monochrome market with the aftermarket achieving an aggregate share of shipments of 25-30%.



Industrial Printers



Industrial printers or so-called coders are used in manufacturing environments to print date codes, lot codes, bar codes and other information on products and packaging.  These coders are single color devices, but may print black, green, red, blue or other colors at any given time.  These printers may also be used to apply invisible symbols or codes, or apply inks with special chemical or elemental markers to help verify the authenticity of goods, or to reduce the diversion of goods from one country or distribution point to another.



There are three primary printing technologies in the industrial space:  solid ink, liquid ink and laser.  The overall market is relatively flat, with some growth being seen in the area of laser coders.  In general, there is an increasing move to radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to provide the benefits of visible marking and more.  However, the use of RFID tags is generally in conjunction with a visible mark.



Industrial coders generally consume relatively high volumes of ink as they may run 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.  Because of the high volume, high speed manufacturing environments in which coders are present, they are a mission critical component in the manufacturing process.  By way of example, a single candy bar line may pass 1000 candy bars by the coder every minute.  Consequently, the reliability of the coder and inks is paramount.



As with the business color market, the primary source of supplies for these coders is the manufacturer of the coder itself.  There are a few aftermarket companies that have successfully entered the liquid ink-jet space.  Aside from the coder manufacturers, we are not aware of any other competition for our industrial solid inks.  In the industrial marking space, as in the business color market, price is the primary reason for adoption of aftermarket supplies.



Growth Strategy



Media Sciences growth has been, and will continue to be driven by three factors:  overall market growth, new product development and an increase in market penetration for its existing and new products.  In addition, we are considering strategic acquisitions.



Overall market growth, new products and market penetration are all intimately interrelated.  To understand this codependency, it is important to understand the lifecycle of a printer, and more specifically a color printer.  Technology in general, and printers specifically, become obsolete over time.  As an integral part of our new product planning process, we generally model three year active lives for color printers.  That is, we assume that a printer sold in a particular period will be used for three years, and in that same period three years later, will be disposed ofthe reality is that printers continued to be used to a lesser degree for years beyond the three.  This assumed model reflects the bell curve nature of each printers installed base.  Media Sciences uses this model for budgeting, forecasting, and new product development analysis.



When looking at market growth and new product development, it is important to understand that, because of the lifecycle of any one printer model, in order to keep up with the market growth, new products must be brought to market to replace those that are falling off.



Based on our products available for sale at June 30, 2007, and assuming the three year lives discussed above, we believe we manufacture supplies for use in approximately 25% of the overall, active installed base (the addressable market) of business color printers.  We call this our available market.

Our available market is dynamic and changes as a function of the timing of our product introductions versus introductions of new business color printers by the OEMs.  The goal of our product development group is to increase the size of our available market, or said another way, to increase our share of the addressable market.  To do so, we need to bring more products to market than are falling off.  Our decision as to which products to bring to market is impacted by the size of a target installed base, the distribution required to bring those supplies to the market, the existence within our product line of supplies for use in other printers by that same OEM (a line extension), the margin structure of the proposed product, the costs and time to develop the product.  Consequently, we may bring products to market that target a very large installed base, or that may target a relatively small installed base.



Further, a vast majority of the business color market is toner based.  As we seek to align our business with the broader addressable market, we expect increases in the size of our available market to be generated primarily from new color toner cartridge product introductions.  As a result, we expect the growth of our color toner cartridge revenues to outpace the growth of our solid ink revenues for the foreseeable future.



To increase the size of our available market, we have been, and will continue to expand our development resources.  Over the last 12 months we increased our development staff by 150% and invested approximately $250,000 in technology in support of research and development.  As a result, during Fiscal 2007, we increased our available market by 25% (from 20% to 25% of the addressable market) and the number of printers for which we manufacture supplies by 76%.



We plan to continue to expand our development resources in both people and technology to accelerate our product development timeline, and the number of simultaneous projects under development at any given time.  Our product development will focus on both expanding the number of products that we offer for use in a particular manufacturers printer line, as well as expanding the number of printer manufacturers that we target.



Concurrent with our goal of increasing our available market, we are focused on increasing our market share within our available market.  However we do not believe we increased our market share during Fiscal 2007.  Consequently, starting in December 2006, we started making significant changes in our sales team, including its leadership.  We also made substantial changes in the way we do business with our customers to better meet their needs.  We plan to continue to invest in sales professionals and technology to expand our distribution channels and revenues through our existing channels.



Any combined growth of the addressable market, our available market and our market share would enhance our overall growth rate.



To augment our core strategy, Media Sciences may consider certain acquisitions.  Acquisition targets may fall within one or two categories.  The first category is the opportunity to accelerate the expansion of our development resources and competencies versus building these resources over time.  Such acquisition targets may include chip development entities, toner manufacturing joint ventures, and cartridge engineering and design entities.



The second category of potential targets would be entities that could bring Media Sciences into new imaging markets or applications.  Such acquisitions would allow Media Sciences to enter complementary markets where substantial barriers to entry currently exist.  These acquisitions may increase our global business opportunity, diversify our business risks, and create synergies with our existing business, while leveraging our core competencies.



Potential acquisitions we might consider could be larger or smaller than our current market capitalization.  We are currently evaluating the viability of certain potential acquisitions.  We believe any acquisition should be almost immediately accretive to our cash flow.  We provide no assurance that we will make any acquisitions or that if we do, that we will be successful in achieving our objectives.

Principal Products and Programs



Color Business Printers



Color business printers consume a number of supply items including toner cartridges or solid ink sticks, imaging units, fuser units and waste bottles.  There are typically four toner cartridges or solid inks in a color printer:  Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.  Through the combination of these four colors, printed pages with seemingly millions of colors can be produced.  Media Sciences manufactures cyan, magenta, yellow and black solid inks and color toner cartridges.



Solid Ink.  We manufacture and distribute solid ink sticks for use in certain business color printers.  Our solid inks offer the end user the opportunity to save 30-50% on their solid inks versus buying the Xerox® brand.



We manufacture solid ink for use in the following printers:



|Tektronix® Phaser® 840, 850                                    
|----------------------------------------------------------------
|Xerox Phaser 860, 8200, 8400, 8500, 8550, 8560                 
|Xerox WorkCentre® C2424 and 8560FP color multifunction devices.



We currently offer solid inks for all of the business color solid ink printers currently available in the market.  Consequently, we have no new color solid ink product introductions planned at this time.  However, as Xerox introduces additional solid ink printers, copiers or Multi-Function Products to the market, we intend to develop supplies for those devices.



Further, we have the capability to develop and produce specialty solid inks, including special colors and inks with markers for product authentication and security applications.  While we have no such products planned for introduction, we are making this capability known, should one or more customers have a need for specialty inks.



Toner Cartridges.  We offer two lines of toner cartridges:  Clearcase® color toner cartridges and our Premium line of toner cartridges.  Our Clearcase and Premium lines cartridges are both newly manufactured, and both offer the end user the opportunity to save up to 30% on their color toner cartridges versus the OEM brand.  However, our Clearcase cartridges feature a unique clear case allowing the user to see the color toner within the cartridge.  We intend to migrate our Premium cartridges to the Clearcase line and to introduce all future color toner cartridges as Clearcase products.



We manufacture color toner cartridges for use in certain Tektronix, Xerox, Konica-Minolta®, Oki®, Epson®, Brother®, Dell®, Samsung® and Ricoh® color printers as follows:



|Clearcase  Our Clearcase line of toner cartridges are for use in the following printers:    
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INKlusive®.  Our INKlusive color printer program provides a customer with a business color printer or multifunction device, on-site service and a defined, regular shipment of ink or toner supplies, all for the cost of just the supplies.  It is truly a free color printer program.  Consequently, the INKlusive program provides the customer with one of the lowest costs of ownership of a business color printer in the industry today.



There are currently three versions of the program: $99 per month, $165 per month and $199 per month, each for two years.  While the current program is limited to solid ink printers and multi-function printers, the program has included toner based color printers as well.  Upon successful completion of the program, the printer is the customers to keep at no additional charge.



The INKlusive program is targeted at small businesses, education, not-for-profits and real estate agents and brokers.  The program is advanced by our channel partners who receive a commission for each unit placed, and are encouraged to sell additional Media Sciences supplies to the customer.  More information on the INKlusive program is available at www.inklusive.com.



Media Sciences offers this program in conjunction with a financing company.  Media Sciences does not own or otherwise finance the cost of the printer, nor does Media Sciences guarantee the credit worthiness of the customer.  Under our agreement with the financing company, at the time of placement of the INKlusive printer, we are paid in full for the printer and the two years of supplies.  We recognize the revenue from the supplies as they are shipped over the term of the INKlusive agreement.  Consequently, the difference in timing between receipt of payment for the supplies and the shipment of those supplies, gives rise to deferred revenue on our balance sheet.



For the year ended June 30, 2007 revenue recognized from the shipment of INKlusive supplies represented approximately 5% of our total revenues, up from 4% of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006.  As of June 30, 2007, deferred revenue totaled $0.8 million as compared with $1.1 million as of June 30, 2006.



Industrial Printers



We manufacture solid ink for use in industrial marking, or coding, applications.  These products include solid ink for use in the Markem 9000 and 5000 series coders.  These products, available in two colors, black and blue, are sold under private label brands and offer a savings of up to 24-30% versus the Markem brand.



We have entered into a supply agreement with an industrial printer manufacturer.  Under this agreement, we supply this manufacturer with solid ink sticks for the printers they manufacture and distribute.  Our customer distributes these inks under their own brand.  Based on projected volumes over the next 12 months, we do not expect sales under this agreement to materially contribute to our revenues or earnings.



Branding



Media Sciences has adopted a tri-branding strategy for our products.  Currently, our revenue mix of Media Sciences branded products to white-box and private label branded products is approximately 60:40.  Brand development is a priority for us.  We believe that by improving the recognition and value of the Media Sciences brand, we will be less susceptible to abrupt shifts in demand for our products as competition enters the market.  We have a stated goal of increasing our Media Sciences branded business to 75% of our revenues, over the next three years.



Under our white-box programs, we sell our products in a plain white box.  Our customers may custom label these products for their customers, or sell them unmarked in a plain white box.  Certain dealers prefer white-box products as they are trying to differentiate their product from that of their competitors.



Our private brand program targets large, national or international entities that have developed significant brand equity and wish to extend their brand to our products.  For example, certain large retail office supplies companies have stated that they have a strategic objective to expand the number of items in their stores carrying their brand.  Under such a relationship we configure and package our products in custom packaging, typically designed by the customer.  We are careful about committing to these programs unless certain commitments are made by the customer to either guarantee certain minimum sales, or to be responsible for production costs, unused corrugate inventories and inventory obsolescence.

Sales and Marketing Plans



We believe we have market share in the low single digits for those printers that comprise our available market.  Also noted above was the fact that over 30% of monochrome cartridges sold are aftermarket brands.  The primary function of our sales and marketing efforts is to increase our share in our available market.



Over the last year we have substantially transformed our sales team including its leadership.  In December 2006 we recruited an experienced industry sales professional to lead our European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) sales effort.  In January 2007, we recruited a new sales leader for the Americas with substantial office products experience.  Both of these individuals come to Media Sciences with a track record of success as defined by significant revenue growth under their leadership.



As a result of the new sales leadership, we have redefined our approach to the market.  First, we are no longer approaching the worldwide market in a homogeneous manner with the same pricing, products and programs for the US, Europe and rest of the world.   We are adopting regional strategies to meet the needs of those markets.



Second, we have become highly responsive to the needs of the customer.  This shift has manifested itself in several ways.  First, we have flattened our channel pricing structure.  Historically we had several discrete price levels.  These levels, developed over time to meet the immediate needs of a customer or opportunity gave rise to channel inequalities that were counterproductive to new partner recruitment and growth.  We have substantially reduced the number of price levels and anticipate transitioning to two price levels by the end of 2007.  With this flat price structure, potential distribution partners are no longer at a price disadvantage to existing partners.



Another manifestation of this customer responsiveness has been to meet the terms, conditions and expectations that are ordinary and customary to the particular channel or market segment.   By way of example, over the last six months we have implemented EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for certain customers, changed the structure of our rebate and market development fund (MDF) programs, taken an active role in helping our channel partners manage their inventories of Media Sciences products, and engaged manufacturers representative firms to assist our partners in the sale of Media Sciences products.



Some of the changes above were implemented retrospectively, and adversely and materially impacted our financial results for the latter half of fiscal 2007 and for the year ended June 30, 2007.  For more information, refer to the Executive Summary in Item 6  Managements Discussion and Analysis.  We voluntarily made these changes to better meet the needs of our current and future customers with the expectation that by removing artificial barriers to our partners success, we will experience enhanced revenue growth.



Responsiveness to the needs of the customer also gives rise to a significant strategic initiative for fiscal 2008; that of European logistics, pricing, terms and conditions.  In the past we asked our European customers to buy from the United States, import our products, pay duties, clear customs, and absorb currency fluctuations (as they paid in US dollars.)  While this means of doing business served us well in our infancy, it does not meet the needs of our growing European customer base.  Consequently, we have embarked on a program under which we will:



|Distribute product out of a European location through the use of a third party logistics provider
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Adopt local currencies (GBP and Euro)                                                            
|Adopt a regional product pricing strategy                                                        
|Adopt European payment terms.                                                                    



We expect to have this program in place early in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

We have defined three primary sales channels in the United States in order to better align our sales personnel with the needs of that particular channel.  The first of the three channels is imaging supplies, which includes distributors and dealers whose primary business is focused on selling imaging supplies.  The computer channel which includes dealers and distributors whose primary business is focused on selling hardware such as printers and computers.  And office products which include dealers and wholesalers whose primary business is focused on selling office supplies from file folders to pencils to furniture and beyond.  Each of these channels conducts business in a different way.  The differences include semantics, promotional programs, expectations and customer set.



The imaging supplies channel is the most mature of our channels.  These dealers and distributors are generally small and as such generally serve smaller customers.   The imaging supplies channel is generally the most knowledgeable and proactive channel as it relates to consumable sales. The Internet is a significant driver of the business through this channel.



The computer channel is a second in maturity to the imaging supplies channel.  Both the dealers and distributors in this channel range from small to very large.  The dealers in this channel include VARs (Valued Added Resellers) through to large direct marketing organizations such as CDW, Insight and PC Mall.  Distributors in this channel include Tech Data, Ingram Micro and Synnex.  This channel, which often targets the IT manager in small to large businesses, is generally not well versed in consumable sales.



The office products channel is a distant third in terms of Media Sciences penetration.  This channel is dominated by two large wholesalers, and four large office products dealers: OfficeMax, Office Depot, Corporate Express and Staples.  In addition to these six organizations there are some regional wholesalers and a number of independent office products dealers.  All of the independents combined do not equal the revenue of any one of the other four office products dealers.



OfficeMax, Office Depot and Staples all have corporate contract, web-based and retail (bricks and mortar) business groups.  Corporate Express does not have a retail presence.  Generally the corporate contract groups target Fortune 1000 companies and are often a sole source for the office products needs of that customer.



We believe the most significant opportunity for revenue (and revenue growth) exists within the office products channel and secondarily in the computer channel.   To that end, we are increasing the resources that we are mobilizing within these two channels.  We are building a team of sales and marketing professionals focused on the office products and computer channels, that includes account specific sales professionals for each of the major office products dealers, an office products marketing director and a nationwide network of manufacturers representatives.



In Europe, our focus is on support for our partners on a country by country basis through the recruitment of country managers.  In addition, we plan to recruit a pan-European office products sales director to pursue the unique needs of that channel.



The efforts of our sales team are reinforced by sales incentive programs for our channel partners.  Historically such programs have been based on volume and/or growth of sales of Media Sciences products to our direct customers.  We have since changed our incentive programs to reward volume and growth of sales of Media Sciences products through our direct customers.  We are able to do so through the collection and analysis of point of sale data.  Further, we have invested in certain sales management and forecasting technology to analyze both MSI and point of sale data.



Our end user sales activities are primarily focused on Fortune 1000 companies and other large color printer installations.  These activities, often executed in concert with a channel partner, include identifying large opportunities and pursuing them by consulting with the individual(s) within the target organization responsible for evaluating, selecting and purchasing color printer supplies, so that they can make an informed decision on Media Sciences as an alternative to the printer manufacturers brand of supplies.  This support may include cost of ownership studies, reliability studies, and Media Sciences products to test and evaluate.

Our sales and marketing groups work as a team such that our marketing efforts support and complement our sales strategy.  We work with the knowledge that our distributors and wholesalers know who the dealers are that are selling the OEM product, and that our dealers know which end users are buying OEM supplies.  Consequently, most of our marketing efforts are in conjunction with our channel partners.  Specifically, we market to dealers through our distributors and wholesalers as a means to reinforce our dealer recruitment efforts.  And, we market to the end user through our dealers.



Our marketing efforts include advertising in trade publications, direct mail, catalog placements, Internet banners and other organic and pay per click efforts, blitz days, trade shows and more.  Some of these efforts are funded directly by Media Sciences, while other are funded by the channel partner and reimbursed through discretionary marketing funds.



We plan to improve our ability to measure the efficacy of our marketing efforts through the correlation of the POS data with our marketing efforts.  Through this feedback system, we can refine our marketing investments to maximize our return on investment.



Distribution Methods of the Products and Programs



Our primary goal in building our distribution channels is to have our products readily available to the end users.  Consequently, we look to mirror the distribution points of the printer manufacturers, and add additional, unique, distribution points that serve the cost-conscious end user.  As a result, we sell through an international network of channel partners, including wholesalers, distributors, dealers, internet resellers, printer manufacturers and contract stationers.  In certain instances, our products may go through up to three levels of distribution in order to get to the end user.  As the market for business color supplies matures, it is unlikely that the market will support this many levels of distribution.  Consequently, we expect the distribution channels to flatten over time.



Our products are available in most parts of the world.  However, approximately 79% of our sales are in the United States, with a majority of the balance of our sales in Western Europe.  Our goal is to have our international sales represent approximately 30% of our revenues by the end of fiscal 2008, while continuing to aggressively grow our US sales.



Our INKlusive program is currently available only in the United States.  The program is marketed by Media Sciences branded product dealers.  Dealers who refer end users into the INKlusive program are paid a commission upon consummation of a contract.  Further, INKlusive customers are encouraged to return to the dealer who referred them into the program when they need supplies incremental to those automatically shipped under the program.



Competition



Media Sciences competes primarily with the original manufacturer of the printers for which we provide supplies, including Xerox, which sells printers under the Tektronix and Xerox brands, Konica-Minolta (formally QMS), Epson, Brother, Oki, Dell, Samsung and Ricoh.  These competitors use several tactics to limit the penetration of aftermarket supplies including remanufactured products and newly manufactured products such as those offered by Media Sciences.  These tactics include protecting their technology through the use of patents, the development of sales and marketing programs that provide for incentives to distributors, wholesalers and dealers that sell exclusively the printer manufacturers brand supplies, and through fear, uncertainty and doubt.  Media Sciences competes with these manufacturers primarily by offering a compelling value proposition of quality, value (through lower end user costs and
higher channel margins) and choice.



Media Sciences also competes with entities that remanufacture certain color toner cartridges which compete with Media Sciences newly manufactured cartridges.  Remanufactured toner cartridges are often available at lower prices than the corresponding newly manufactured, Media Sciences toner cartridges.  Media Sciences competes with these products based on quality, reliability, warranty and excellent product availability.  Some remanufacturers choose to sell Media Sciences products to their customers rather than make the substantial investment in developing the technologies and processes necessary to remanufacture color toner cartridges.

Media Sciences buys certain color toner cartridges from a supplier on a non-exclusive basis.  While we believe Media Sciences combination of distribution, warranty, channel programs, brand recognition and product breadth will allow us to compete well with others selling similar products, we may see increased competition for these particular products over time.



We continue to see certain solid ink products entering the market from a Korean manufacturer.  We compete with these products based on the quality of Media Sciences solid inks, our warranty, channel programs, brand recognition and product breadth and our extensive efforts to avoid infringement of the printer manufacturers intellectual property.



Research and Development



We direct our research, engineering and development efforts primarily toward developing new products and processes and improving existing product performance.  We have five goals in product development:



|Non-infringing 
|----------------
|Highest quality
|1stto market   
|Exclusivity    
|Lowest cost    



For our solid ink products, all aspects of research, engineering and development are conducted by Media Sciences.  This includes formulation and ink stick shape design.  As such, we have control over product specifications, costs and development timelines.  In fiscal 2007, we invested in rapid prototyping technology to accelerate the pace of our solid ink (and toner cartridge) introductions.  The result was the fastest introduction of a solid ink product in the history of the company in March 2007.



For our toner cartridge products, we currently partner with other firms for cartridge engineering and raw toner formulation and development.  Consequently, we do not have the same level of control over color toner cartridge development that we have over our solid inks.



In order to better and more consistently achieve the above goals in our color toner cartridge development, we believe we need to build our engineering and development resources to lessen our reliance on external resources.  Over the last 12 months, we significantly expanded our internal xerographic engineering and design capability.  Further through new personnel and investments in analytical technology, we have partnered with our raw color toner vendors to speed development of raw toners for new color toner applications.  As a further benefit, we have a much greater level of control and influence over the characteristics of the toner developed for our applications.



Our continued planned expansion of development resources includes two key areas: chip development and toner cartridge engineering.  We plan to add personnel and supporting technology in each of these areas.   For chip and cartridge development and engineering, our goal is to build our capabilities such that all aspects of engineering and development are executed internally by our development teams.  While we may still choose to partner externally on selected development projects, highly strategic projects would be developed completely in-house.  Consequently, we plan to add a number of technical personnel including project, mechanical, software, electrical and manufacturing engineers as well as the staff and technology to support these professionals.



Through the expansion of our color toner analysis and development, chip development and cartridge engineering resources, we expect to shorten our development times, bring products to market more quickly, and develop more products.



Research, engineering and product development costs, which consist of salary and related benefits costs of our technical staff, as well as product development costs including conceptual formulation, design and testing of product alternatives, construction of prototypes, are expensed as incurred.  For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our research, engineering and product development costs were approximately $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Integrated Xerographic Design, Engineering and Manufacturing



We have embarked on significant initiative to build a fully integrated xerographic design, engineering and manufacturing capability in Asia.  The goals of this initiative are:



|1)    Increase our operational efficiency, particularly in the area of inventory control.                                              
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|2)    Decrease the costs of future color toner products, while maintaining our Companys strict Science of Color standards for quality.
|3)    Decrease our dependency on third parties for the manufacturing of future color toner products.                                   



Operational Efficiency



Our current supply chain for toner based products is approximately five months.  Because of this long supply chain, and exacerbated by large minimum per-SKU order quantities set by our manufacturing partners, and the fact that we maintain inventory in both white box and Media Sciences branded packaging, we have maintained significant inventories to better ensure an in-stock position of our products.  This strategy, while meeting the needs of our customers, is a poor use of working capital, distribution space and leaves us more vulnerable to inventory obsolescence.



To address this issue, while increasing our ability to meet customer demand, one of the first priorities of this integrated capability is to source semi-finished versions of our cartridges from our existing partners along with toner, chips and packaging, and fill, test, package and ship product to meet the demand.



By way of illustration, a single product launch may include as many as 32 or more packaged SKUs.  These 32 SKUs may actually consist of as few as seven components or assemblies plus packaging.  By keeping inventory in component form and filling, testing, packaging and shipping to meet demand, toner based inventories can be reduced by almost 50% (in days in inventory) over time, while better meeting the demands of the market.



Decrease Product Costs



Today our toner cartridges are manufactured by contract manufacturing partners.  Inherently there is cost in our sourced cartridge that contributes to the profitability of our partners.  By moving further down the supply chain and manufacturing the cartridges ourselves, we expect to be able to recapture profits that would otherwise enure to the benefit of our vendors.



Decrease Dependency



As noted, above we currently use contract manufacturing partners to manufacture our toner cartridges.  Since we are not the only customer of these entities, and in fact are a small customer to most of them, we are subject to their prioritization of our business.  Further, as we have a limited number of manufacturing partners, we risk a disruption in supply of our cartridges.  By placing cartridge manufacturing under our control we decrease the dependency and risks of using a third party.



This initiative will be implemented in phases, with the cartridge filling capability expected to be in place by early calendar 2008.  In parallel we will be building our xerographic engineering team.  As a result, we expect to start realizing some of the operational benefits in early calendar 2008 and begin realizing the other benefits, as discussed above, in mid to late 2008.

Intellectual Property



Although we believe the ownership of patents, copyrights, trademarks and service marks is an important factor in our business and that our success depends in part on the ownership thereof, the Company relies primarily on the innovative skills, technical competence, and marketing abilities of its personnel.  Our success depends, to a large extent, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology.  We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, service mark and trade secret rights, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights.  As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, distributors and corporate partners with respect to our documentation and other proprietary information.  We have registered certain trademarks in the United States and have applied for the registration of
other trademarks in the United States.  In 2004, we were granted certain patents in the United States, the terms of which are 14 years.



Dependence on Major Customers



In 2007, two customers represented 17% and 14% of the Companys net revenues and 29% and 21%, respectively, of accounts receivable at June 30, 2007.  In 2006, these same large customers each represented 14% of the Companys net revenues and 17% and 20%, respectively, of accounts receivable at June 30, 2006.



Principal Suppliers



Some key components and raw materials, including certain toners and electronic chips, may be obtained only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers, either because alternative sources are not available or the relationship is advantageous due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or price considerations.  Even where alternative sources of supply may be available, qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales.



In 2007, two vendors represented 24% of our cost of goods sold, with no single vendor accounting for more than 13%.   In 2006, three vendors represented 42% of our cost of goods sold, with no single vendor accounting for more than 20%.

|ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------



On June 23, 2006, Xerox Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court, for the  Southern District of New York, Case No. 06CV4872, against Media Sciences International, Inc. and Media Sciences, Inc., alleging that the Companys solid inks designed for use in the Xerox Phaser 8500 and 8550 printers infringe four Xerox-held patents related to the shape of the ink sticks in combination with the Xerox ink stick feed assembly.  The suit seeks unspecified damages and fees.  In the Companys answer and counterclaims in this action, it denied infringement and it seeks a finding of invalidity of the Xerox patents in question.  The Company also submitted counterclaims against Xerox for breach of contract and violation of  the antitrust laws, seeking treble damages and recovery of legal fees.  On September 14, 2007, the court denied Xeroxs motion to dismiss the
antitrust counterclaims brought by the Company.  Pre-trial discovery is presently scheduled to be completed in September 2007, and we expect the case may be tried in the summer or fall of 2008.  The loss of all or a part of this lawsuit could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and financial position.  The Company believes that its inks do not infringe any valid U.S. patents and intends to vigorously defend these allegations of infringement.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in its defense of this action.



In May 2005, the Company filed suit in New Jersey state court against our former insurance broker for insurance malpractice.  The suit contends that the insurance broker was negligent and breached its duty of care in connection with the procurement of successive umbrella insurance policies.  The suit asserts four causes of action for negligent procurement, failure to procure required coverage, breach of the standard of care, and failure to advise.  The suit seeks recovery of the balance of unrecouped losses for third party damages that should have been covered under the companys umbrella insurance coverage, but for the aforementioned negligence and breaches of duty by the insurance broker.  Proceeds of this suit, if any, will be recorded in the period when received.  In June 2007, certain core matters before the Superior Court of New Jersey were heard and summary judgment was rendered.  One of the key
rulings in the case was not in our favor.  This unfavorable ruling is in the process of being appealed to the Appellate Division and is expected to be heard sometime in early calendar 2008.  Our counsel on the matter has agreed to prosecute the entire appeal on a pure contingency basis.



Other than the above, as at June 30, 2007, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.

|ITEM 6. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
|------- | ------------------------------------



The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 7, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risk and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.



EXECUTIVE SUMMARY



Fiscal 2007 was a year of adjustment and strategic investment for Media Sciences.  Management recognized that the Companys revenue growth rate was not meeting its expectations and was in fact slowing, generating disappointing results.  The Companys opportunity for accelerated growth had created the need for more professional approaches to sales and marketing.  As a result, Management began taking significant action in mid-Fiscal 2007 with the recruitment of experienced professionals to lead the Companys sales efforts.   Management also recognized that the Companys future growth could be inhibited unless it developed its own xerographic manufacturing capability to reduce vendor dependency and speed product development time.  These initiatives are reflected in this report as significant sales reorganization expenses including the adjustment of channel pricing
methods, and in the initial steps to create our own development and manufacturing center in China.  Management is focusing its ambitious growth strategy on these two areas, and is aggressively building the platform for the company to realize its growth potential.



During the year ended June 30, 2007 our comparative financial results were adversely impacted by certain significant, and in some cases, non-recurring items: (1) the costs of litigation; (2) costs resulting from the reorganization of our sales and marketing efforts; (3) charges associated with additions to reserves for inventory obsolescence; (4) incremental stock-based compensation  expenses recognized as a result of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (R); and (5) business formation and start-up costs associated with our Asian offshore manufacturing operations.  Collectively, these items reduced our reported net revenues by $710,000, gross profits by $917,000, pretax income by $2,774,000, net income by about $1,683,000 and earnings per share by about $0.14 fully diluted.



Litigation.During the year ended June 30, 2007 we incurred $1,182,000 of expense (about $710,000 after tax or about $0.06 per share) associated with litigation we have pending against our former insurance broker and in defense of a patent infringement suit brought by Xerox.  In the former, we completed the pretrial discovery during the second half of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.  During the second half of fiscal 2007, we also completed the majority of the pretrial discovery associated with our defense of the Xerox patent infringement litigation.  In the comparative period, the year ended June 30, 2006, our costs of litigation totaled $99,000.  For more information regarding our litigation, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.



While each case is, in and of itself, non-recurring in nature, we may from time to time become involved in legal proceedings due to the nature of our business and our competitive environment.  The resulting unpredictability of our legal expenses may contribute to future volatility in our earnings, as it did in 2007.



Sales and Marketing Reorganization.Late in our fiscal second quarter of 2007, we recruited an experience sales executive in our industry to lead our growing European, Middle-East, and African (EMEA) business.  During our fiscal third quarter of 2007, we recruited another experienced sales executive to lead our sales operations for the Americas.  During our fiscal third quarter of 2007, a channel realignment initiative (hereafter referred to as the Realignment) was started by our new Vice President of Sales for the Americas.  The objective of the Realignment was to address certain structural deficiencies in our distribution pricing structure.  During our fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2007, we recognized charges to our results associated with price protection granted in the form of credits for existing inventories and other one-time adjustments.  During our fiscal
fourth quarter ended June 30, 2007, we granted two distribution customers limited one-time return privileges.  Prior to our granting these limited return privileges, the right-of-return did not exist for either client.  We estimate that under these privileges that approximately $486,000 of products previously sold to these clients are likely to be ultimately returned.  Due to the age of a number of the products subject to these return privileges, we estimate the value of the returned product to be

about $103,000.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $113,000 of severance costs associated with reorganization of our sales leadership.  Inclusive of severance costs associated with the reorganization of our sales leadership, the Realignment and subsequently granted limited return privileges had the following collective impact on our full year 2007 operating results:  (1) reduced our reported net revenues by $710,000; (2) reduced our costs of goods sold by $126,000 due to returns; (3) reduced our gross profits by $584,000; and (4) reduced our gross profit margin for the year by about 100 basis points.  The Realignment also reduced our reported pretax operating income by $697,000 and our net income and earnings per share by about $419,000 and $0.04, respectively.  We do not expect to incur any material future costs associated with the reorganization or realignment of our sales and marketing
organizations.  We do expect to realize a greater level of sales through the affected distribution channel as a result of these initiatives.  The non-recurring financial impact of these reorganization efforts is summarized below:



|Sales and Marketing Reorganization | Quarter Ended                       | Quarter Ended | Year Ended   
|---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------- | -------------
|Fiscal 2007 Impact                 | March 31, 2007                      | June 30, 2007 | June 30, 2007

|                                   | Net income                          |               |              
|                                   | Earnings per share impact  diluted |               |              





Inventory Reserves.During the year ended June 30, 2007, we increased our inventory obsolescence reserves by $331,000.  This non-cash charge increased our cost of goods sold and reduced our reported gross profit by $331,000, reducing our reported gross margin by 150 basis points.  This charge reduced our reported net income by about $199,000 or about $0.02 per share.  These additional reserves were primarily related to inventories of our older and slower-moving toner-based products.



SFAS No. 123(R) Impact.Effective July 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires us to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in our consolidated financial statements.   Prior to July 1, 2006, we had accounted for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25.  We chose to implement SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method.  Under this method, periods prior to July 1, 2006 are not restated to reflect stock-based compensation using a fair value method.  Accordingly, our operating results for the year ended June 30, 2007 include $483,000 of pretax non-cash stock-based compensation expense ($307,000 after tax or about $0.03 per share).



Business Formation and Start-up Costs.During the year ended June 30, 2007, we recognized about $81,000 of expenses associated with formation and start-up costs associated with our Asian offshore manufacturing operations.  These costs reduced our reported net income by about $49,000 or about $0.004 per share.



Inclusive of the above referenced items, net revenues, cost of goods sold, gross profit, gross margin, income from operations, net income, and diluted earnings per share are the key indicators we use to monitor our financial condition and operating performance.  We also use certain non-GAAP measures such as cash earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization  (cash EBITDA) to assess business trends and performance, and to forecast and plan future operations.  The following table sets forth the key quarterly and annual GAAP financial measures we use to manage our business (in thousands, except per share data).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Net Revenues.In fiscal 2007, consolidated net revenues increased by $1.2 million, or 6% to $22.5 million, from $21.3 million in fiscal 2006.  Sales of color toner cartridges increased by about 26% over 2006 while sales of solid ink sticks increased by approximately 2%.  Direct sales of supplies, through our Cadapult subsidiary, decreased by approximately 32% as we focused on building sales through our indirect distribution channels.  In fiscal 2006, consolidated net revenues increased by $3.3 million, or 18% to $21.3 million.  2006 sales of color toner cartridges increased by 39% over 2005 while sales of solid ink sticks increased by approximately 18%.



As mentioned above in the Executive Summary, our net revenues during the year ended June 30, 2007 were adversely impacted by the issuance of credits associated with pricing protection and the grant of limited return privileges to several distribution customers.  These non-recurring channel reorganization efforts reduced our 2007 reported revenues by approximately $0.71 million.  During our fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2007 we introduced several new toner-based products, which were well received by the market.  As a result, we ended the 2007 year with $0.14 million of products on backorder.  We had no significant backorders at June 30, 2006.  Since we do not recognize revenues until orders are filled and shipped, revenues associated with these primarily new products were not recognized in the year ended June 30, 2007.



Overall, our net revenue growth in both fiscal 2007 and 2006 was driven primarily by sales from new products introduced to the market, and to a lesser extent, an increase in market share for some of our existing products, and general continued growth of the installed base of color business printers that consume products we manufacture.  During fiscal 2007 and 2006, the mix of both solid ink and color toner cartridges shifted from older models to newer models and reflected the introduction of a number of new products introduced that were primarily toner-based cartridge products.  This trend is expected to continue as lower color printer prices encourage migration from older slower printers with higher service costs to newer, faster color printers with lower service costs.

The following summarizes the products we introduced in fiscal 2007:  In October 2006 we began shipping cartridges for use in the Oki C3100 and C3200.  In late December 2006 we began shipping high capacity cartridges for use in the Dell® 3000cn, 3100cn and 3010cn printers.  In February 2007, we began shipping standard capacity versions of these same Dell products and began shipping standard capacity cartridges for use in Epson AcuLaser® CX11N, CX11NF, and C1100 color business printers.  In late March 2007, we began shipping toner cartridges for use in Dell 5100cn and Xerox 6300/6350 color business printers and 100% newly designed and manufactured solid inks for use in Xerox® Phaser® 8560/8560 MFP color business printers.  In June 2007 we began shipping toner cartridges for use in the Ricoh® Aficio CL-2000, CL-3000, CL-3500 color business printers.



We expect the growth of color toner cartridge sales to continue to outpace the growth of solid ink product sales into fiscal 2008.  Currently, we offer products for a very small fraction of the toner-based color laser market.  According to industry data, the toner-based color business printer laser market today is about twenty-five times larger than that of the color solid ink segment.  Because our business strategy focuses on alignment of our development efforts with the broader business color market, our toner sales growth has and, we expect, will continue to outpace that of our solid ink for the foreseeable future.  Media Sciences currently manufactures solid ink for use in all available color business solid ink printers.  As a result, until new solid ink printers are brought to market, we have no new solid ink products to develop for the color business segment.  Outside the color business segment, we
continue to formulate solid inks for our growing industrial marking business.



Cost of Goods Sold.



Cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, product warranty, and shipping and freight Despite a 6% increase in net revenues between 2006 and 2007, we were able to achieve a 0.5% decrease in our cost of goods sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, product warranty, and shipping and freight.  This decrease is attributed to a transition in our toner-based product line from very low margin versions of cartridges to higher margin cartridges, and to year-over-year yield improvements in our solid ink manufacturing.  These favorable reductions in cost of goods sold were partially offset by $0.3 million of charges taken through the year to increase our reserves for inventory obsolescence, as well as increased prices of certain raw materials and their associated shipping costs.  In 2006, we were able to achieve a 4% decrease in our costs of goods sold,
exclusive of depreciation and amortization, product warranty, and shipping and freight, despite an 18% increase in net revenues.  This decrease was attributed to substantial yield improvements in our solid ink manufacturing, and the transition in our product line from very low margin, sourced toner cartridges to Media Sciences manufactured, higher margin cartridges.  In fiscal 2008, we do not expect to realize significant additional yield improvements in our solid ink production, nor do we have any further product transitions which will reduce our costs.  Therefore, any further increases in raw material or inbound shipping costs may increase our product costs unless offset by other manufacturing efficiencies.



Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization associated with our manufacturing increased by $0.09 million or 17% in 2007 over 2006.  These same costs increased by $0.29 million or 121% in 2006 over 2005.  These increases reflect additional amortization of tool and die costs for toner cartridges developed and placed-in-service, as well as incremental depreciation and amortization associated with plant and equipment additions in 2007 and 2006.  Some of the noted yield improvement associated with our solid ink manufacturing was the result of our capital spending in 2006.  Manufacturing depreciation and amortization is expected to increase in fiscal 2008 due to anticipated additional investments in our plant and equipment and anticipated launches of new products for which we have incurred or expect to incur capitalized tool and die costs.



During the year ended June 30, 2007, we invested approximately $1.1 million in various fixed assets and leasehold improvements that will be depreciated and amortized over useful lives of three to seven years.  During the preceding year ended June 30, 2006, we invested approximately $1.3 million in similar assets having comparable useful lives.  These investments in our plant and equipment drove our greater year-over-year depreciation and amortization charges.  Most of these capital expenditures were associated with manufacturing operations, which is classified as a component of cost of goods sold.  Depreciation and amortization expense associated with our non-manufacturing operations is classified as a separate component of selling, general and administrative expense.

Product warranty Product warranty costs declined by $0.15 million or 17% in 2007 over 2006.  These same costs declined by $0.24 million or 22% in 2006 over 2005.  We believe these declines are attributed to the improved quality of our products and our improved technical ability to distinguish a competitors products from our own and thus avoid processing warranty claims due to use of OEM or other competitive products.  We believe that our substantial investments made in plant and equipment, including laboratory equipment, and in personnel, have been and will continue to be reflected in improved product quality and fewer fraudulent warranty claims.  In fiscal 2008, we expect to realize some further, though much more moderate, declines in our product warranty costs.



Shipping and freight Outbound shipping and freight cost to customers decreased by $0.02 million or 4% in 2007 over 2006.  In 2006 over 2005, shipping and freight cost to customers increased by $0.28 million or 113%.  The increase in 2006 shipping and freight costs is attributed to our essentially providing additional margins to our customers in 2006.  In fiscal 2008, we do not expect to increase shipping and freight costs as a percentage of net revenues.



Gross Profit.2007 consolidated gross profit increased by $1.4 million or 13% to $12.2 million from $10.8 million in 2006.  In 2007, our gross margin was 54% of net revenues as compared with 51% of net revenues in 2006.  This 320 basis point increase in margin is attributed to the following: (1) our transition from lower to higher margin versions of cartridges; (2) some solid ink margin enhancements resulting from manufacturing yield improvements put in-place during the preceding fiscal year; (3) a decline in revenues in our Cadapult subsidiary, which typically carry lower margins; (4) a reduction in our product warranty costs; (5) and slightly lower outbound shipping and freight costs.  These improvements to our margins were partially offset by charges taken through the year to increase our reserves for inventory obsolescence and certain increases in our raw material costs and
higher manufacturing depreciation and amortization costs.



2006 consolidated gross profit increased by $3.3 million or 45% to $10.8 million from $7.5 million in 2005.  In 2006 our gross margin was 51% of net revenues as compared with 42% of net revenues in 2005.  This 900 basis point increase in margin is attributed to substantial yield improvements in our solid ink manufacturing, a transition from low margin versions of cartridges to higher margin Clearcase and Premium cartridges, a decline in sales of low margin product in our Cadapult subsidiary, and a reduction in our product warranty costs, partially offset by higher raw materials, shipping and depreciation and amortization costs.



In fiscal 2008, we do not expect to realize significant additional yield improvements in our solid ink production, nor do we have any further product transitions which will reduce our costs.  Therefore, any further increases in raw material or inbound shipping costs may decrease our margins unless offset by other manufacturing efficiencies.  Further, we have in development several color toner cartridges which if launched are expected to carry margins that are lower than our overall gross margins in fiscal 2007.  The impact on our margins will be a function of our sales volumes associated with these products.  If we are successful with these new products, it is likely that our gross margins in 2008 may reflect some erosion.



Research and Development.Research and development spending increased by $0.7 million or 60% in 2007 over 2006.  In 2006 over 2005, research and development spending increased by $0.5 million or 73%.  These increases in both years were driven by our initiatives to increase product breadth through the development and launch of new products.  The increases in our research and development spending were broad-based.  During both years, we added new technical personnel and management to our research and development team.  Also increased were research and development capital and operating expenditures as we accelerated the pace of new product development.  Looking into fiscal 2008, we expect our research and development spending to increase on a year-over-year basis, but, to remain at a similar to slightly lower percentage of net revenues.



Selling, General and Administrative.Selling, general and administrative expense, exclusive of depreciation and  amortization, increased by $2.9 million or 47% in 2007 over 2006.  Total selling, general and administrative expense in 2006 over 2005, inclusive of depreciation, amortization and 2005 non-recurring items, increased by $1.2 million or 24%.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in fiscal 2007 was primarily driven by the $1.2 million of costs associated with litigation pretrial activity (discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), about $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and the remainder mostly attributed to greater sales and marketing compensation and benefits costs, including non-recurring severance costs associated with our sales reorganization.

##### Back to Index



2006 selling, general and administrative expense, exclusive of depreciation, amortization and 2005 non-recurring items (loss from sublease, moving expense, and impact of variable plan accounting) increased by $1.2 million or 24% in 2006 over 2005.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily driven by greater compensation and benefits costs resulting from greater bonuses in 2006 under our performance-based pay incentives and hiring in 2006 of additional sales, marketing, and operations personnel.  Selling, general and administrative expense also increased due to greater professional fee spending in 2006.  In fiscal 2008, we expect to increase advertising, marketing, sales and administrative costs.  However, we do expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to decline as a percent of net revenues.



Depreciation and Amortization.Non-manufacturing depreciation and amortization expense increase by $0.09 million or 39% in 2007 over 2006.  The increase is attributed to leasehold improvements and IT and furniture and fixture additions, driven by staff additions over the year as well as upgrades to the Companys IT infrastructure.  In 2006 over 2005, non-manufacturing depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.06 million or 21%.  The decrease was attributed to asset retirements made in late 2005 associated with our discontinued use of our previous Allendale, New Jersey facility.  In fiscal 2008, we expect selling, general and administrative depreciation and amortization to increase over 2007 levels, however, we do expect it to grow at a slower pace than our rate of revenue growth.



Interest Expense, net.In 2007 we had net interest income of $0.06 million versus net interest expense of $0.06 million in 2006.  The year-over-year decrease in interest expense was due to reduced levels of borrowing and the generation of greater interest income from our greater cash balances.  2006 interest expense decreased by $0.12 million or 69% to $0.06 million from $0.18 million in 2005.  The decrease in interest expense was due to decreased borrowings, reduced borrowing costs, and greater interest income generated from our growing cash balances.  In fiscal 2008, we expect our net interest expense will increase and our interest income decrease as we fund our operating and capital expenditure associated with our domestic and Asian operating plans.



Income Taxes.For the year ended June 30, 2007, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.27 million as compared with $1.09 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.  For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our effective tax rate was 26% and 34%, respectively.  The effective aggregate state and federal tax rate varies due to the magnitude of various permanent differences between reported pretax income and what is recognized as taxable income by various taxing authorities.  The availability of tax credits associated with  manufacturing and  research and development activities, as well as exclusions, such as the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion, can result in an effective rate that is lower than the statutory rate.



For the year ended June 30, 2006, we recorded an income tax expense from continuing operations of $1.1 million as compared with an income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.25 million for the year ended June 30, 2005.  On a consolidated basis, after discontinued operations, we generated a net tax benefit for the year ended June 30, 2005 of $0.08 million.  For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, our effective tax rate was 34% and 39%, respectively.



In April 2006, we initiated a thorough review of our historic tax compliance.  As a result, we identified that we had not historically taken advantage of all of the credits or income exemptions for which we were entitled.  Consequently, we amended a number of our prior year tax returns.  Further, we implemented certain other fundamental tax planning to reduce our current and future effective tax rates.  The 800 basis point decrease in effective tax rates from 2006 to 2007 reflects the current year realization of tax benefits available to us in the form of export incentives and research and experimentation credits, as well as the effect of permanent differences between our book and taxable income.  We expect our consolidated effective tax rate through fiscal 2008 to be in the low to mid 30s as a percentage of our pretax income.  Our effective tax rate may decline further depending on the volume of our
manufacturing outside the U.S. in lower tax jurisdictions.



Net Income.For the year ended June 30, 2007, we earned $0.8 million from operations or $0.07 per share basic and fully diluted, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2006, where we earned $2.1 million or $0.19 per share basic and $0.18 per share fully diluted.  As discussed in the Executive Summary, our 2007 results were adversely impacted by five factors in fiscal 2007 that collectively reduced our comparative net income by about $1.7 million, or about $0.14 per share on a fully diluted basis.

##### Back to Index



For the year ended June 30, 2006, we earned $2.1 million from continuing operations or $0.19 per share basic and $0.18 fully diluted, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2005, where we earned $0.38 million from continuing operations or $0.04 per share basic and fully diluted.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



During the year ended June 30, 2007, our cash and equivalents increased by $0.32 million to $1.81 million.  $0.84 million of this increase was generated from operating activities; $0.59 million was from financing activities, mostly proceeds received from employees associated with option exercises, partially offset by $1.11 million of cash used in investing activities.  Cash used in investing activities included the purchase of equipment, tooling and leasehold improvements in the amount of $1.11 million, representing a decrease of $0.22 million or 17% from the comparable spend of $1.33 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.



The Company generated $0.84 million of positive cash flow from operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared with $3.43 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.  The $0.84 million of cash generated by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2007 resulted from $0.78 million of income from operations, add-back of net non-cash charges totaling $2.01 million, deduction of $0.41 million associated with excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, and $1.54 million of cash used primarily to increase the Companys non-cash working capital (current assets less cash and cash equivalents net of current liabilities).  The most significant driver behind the $1.54 million increase in our non-cash working capital was the $1.68 million increase in our inventories.



During the year ended June 30, 2007, our inventory levels, net of reserves, increased by $1.35 million or 30% to $5.80 million from $4.45 million.  The increase in inventories was generally due to the building of inventories associated with new product introductions and those we are preparing to launch, including the recently launched products for use in the Dell 5110cn; the Samsung CLP-500, CLP550, and CLP-510; the Xerox Phaser 6360 and 6100; and the Richo Aficio CL-2000, CL-3000, and CL-3500 color business printers.



2006 cash flows from operating activities were $3.43 million, resulting from $2.13 million of income from continuing operations and add-back of net non-cash charges totaling $1.42 million.  During 2006, our inventory levels, net of reserves, increased by $1.26 million or 39% to $4.45 million at June 30, 2006.  The increase in inventories was due to the increase in the number of products in our product line, increased sales, minimum order requirements necessary to secure advantageous pricing and the extended lead time from our Asian suppliers.  In addition, we sought to increase certain inventory levels in order to assure an in-stock position on our products.



Our INKlusive program has generated positive cash flow since we are paid in advance for the ink to be shipped over a two year period, thus giving rise to deferred revenues.  As of June 30, 2007, deferred revenue associated with the program totaled $0.84 million, a $0.29 million or 26% decrease over the June 30, 2006 balance of $1.14 million.  The continued ability of the INKlusive program to generate positive cash flow through increases in deferred revenue is a function of customer acceptance of future programs and the structure of the financing of those programs.



The cash we used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2007 included the purchase of equipment, tooling and leasehold improvements in the amount of $1.11 million, a decrease of $0.22 million or 16% from the comparable spend of $1.33 million in fiscal 2006.  The cash we used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2006 included the purchase of equipment, tooling and leasehold improvements in the amount of $1.33 million, a decrease of $0.37 million or 22% from the comparable spend of $1.69 million in fiscal 2005.



We have a revolving line of credit facility which provides for maximum borrowings of $3,000,000.  As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had no outstanding balance under this line.  In connection with the negotiation of this facility during 2004, we granted a security interest in all of our assets.  Borrowings through January 23, 2006 bore interest at a rate of 0.75% over the banks Prime Rate.  On January 23, 2006 we entered into agreements amending certain terms of the facility, which reduced the interest rate by 0.75% to the banks Prime Rate, and extended the expiration date of the facility by one year to November 30, 2007.  The amendments to the facility included a modification of certain financial covenants.  Borrowings bear interest at the banks Prime Rate (8.25% at June 30, 2007) and are payable on demand.

On March 17, 2006, we entered into a five-year term note with the bank in the amount of $250,000 that bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.75%, and requires monthly repayments of principal and interest of $5,054.  At June 30, 2007, this note had a remaining principal balance of $196,083.  The proceeds were used to finance the purchase of certain long-lived manufacturing property and equipment.  The note is cross collateralized and contains cross default provisions with the revolving line of credit facility.



In March 2005, we entered into a five-year term note with our bank in the amount of $500,000 that bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%, and requires monthly repayments of principal of $8,333.  At June 30, 2007, this note had a remaining principal balance of $275,000.  The proceeds were used to finance the leasehold improvements to our Oakland facility.  The note is cross collateralized and contains cross default provisions with the revolving line of credit.



Both the amended revolving line of credit and the five-year term notes with the bank are subject to two amended financial covenants.  At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.



Both the amended revolving line-of-credit and the five-year term notes with the bank are subject to amended financial covenants, including monitoring a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and EBITDA to fixed charge, as such terms are defined in the amended loan agreements.



Over the next twelve months, our operations may require additional funds and may seek to raise such additional funds through public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities, strategic relationships, bank debt, lease financing arrangements, or other available means.  We cannot provide assurance that additional funding, if sought, will be available or, if available, will be on acceptable terms to meet our business needs.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, stockholders may experience dilution, or such equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.  If additional funds are raised through debt financing, the debt financing may involve significant cash payment obligations and financial or operational covenants that may restrict our ability to
operate our business.  Our failure to raise capital when needed may harm our business and operating results.



CAPITAL EXPENDITURES



We plan on various capital expenditures over the next twelve months of approximately $3.0 million.  These expenditures will include toner cartridge tool and die development, evaluation printers, various quality assurance and development  instruments, various leasehold improvements, and equipment, upgrades to our information technology systems.  In addition, we plan to acquire certain manufacturing equipment to scale our manufacturing capability and to increase productivity.  We plan to finance these expenditures from one or more of the following: existing cash, cash generated by operations, use of operating leases, debt financing, and/or equity funding.

We have experienced increases in raw materials costs and the costs of shipping and freight to deliver those material and finished products to our facility over the last 12 months.  While we have historically offset any inflation in operating costs through increased productivity and improved yield, the recent increases have impacted profit margins.



SEASONALITY



Historically, we have not experienced any significant seasonality in our business.  As we continue to grow our international business relative to our North American business, we may experience a more notable level of seasonality, especially during the summer months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. When more than one accounting principle, or method of its application, is generally accepted, management selects the principle or method that is appropriate in our specific circumstances.  Application of the accounting principles requires our management to make estimates about the future resolution of existing uncertainties and that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, which in the normal course of business are subsequently adjusted to actual results.  Actual results could differ from such estimates.  In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements giving due regard to materiality.



Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the point of shipment and transfer of title for goods sold, provided collection is reasonably assured.  Net revenues include reimbursed shipping and freight expense.  Provisions for rebates, product returns and discounts to customers are recognized as reductions in determining net revenues in the same period as the related revenues are recorded.  Any sales or other taxes collected from customers are not reflected in the consolidated Statements of Income but instead reflected as current obligations in the consolidated balance sheets until disbursed to the respective taxing authority.



Under our INKlusive program, we provide a customer with a business color printer or multifunction device, on-site service, and a defined, regular shipment of supplies (ink or toner), all for the cost of just the supplies.  We offer this program in conjunction with a financing company.  Media Sciences does not own or otherwise finance the cost of the printer, nor does Media Sciences guarantee the credit worthiness of the customer.  Under our agreement with the financing company, at the time of placement of the INKlusive printer, we are paid in full for the printer and the two years of supplies.  Consequently, the difference in timing between receipt of contract payment from the finance company and when the supplies are shipped gives rise to deferred revenue on our balance sheet.  We amortize this deferred revenue liability and recognize revenue ratably over the contract term as we ship supplies to the customer.
 The current and non-current components of the deferred revenue obligation are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.



The INKlusive program is a multi-element program.  The Company recognizes revenue under this program in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-21.  Under those provisions, revenue is recognized for the printer upon shipment to the customers, while revenue for the supplies and services associated with the program are recognized  equally over the contract term in proportion to product shipments.



We are not exposed to the credit risk of any individual customer in the INKlusive program.



Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We market our products to an international network of dealers and distributors.  Credit is extended after a credit review by management, which is based on a customer's ability to perform its obligations.  Such reviews are regularly updated.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon agings of customer balances and specific account reviews by management. Certain exports of goods we produce in the United States are insured up to 90% of face value.  Media Sciences International, Inc. has no significant concentrations of credit risks and generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers.



Inventories and Inventory Reserves

Inventories, consisting of materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, and associated in-bound shipping and freight are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.  We review the adequacy of our inventory reserves on a quarterly basis.  Abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials are recognized as current period charges.  We write down inventory based on forecasted demand and technological obsolescence.  These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes, new product introductions and changes in strategic direction and require estimates that may include uncertain elements.  Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values.

Warranty

We provide a warranty for all of our consumable supply products and under our INKlusive free color printer program.  We warrant our products suitability for use in the intended printer models and that our products are free of defects that could cause damage to these printers.  Costs covered under the product warranty include customary charges for the repair or replacement of the printer with an equivalent new or refurbished printer, at our sole discretion.  The warranty does not cover damage to the product or a printer caused by accident, abuse, misuse, natural disaster, human error, unauthorized disassembly, repair, or modification.  We believe that our product warranty is relatively liberal, providing, in most cases, broader and more complete coverage than that provided by the original equipment printer manufacturer.  We account for the estimated warranty cost as a charge to product warranty, a
captioned component of cost of goods sold, when revenue is recognized.  The estimated warranty cost is based on historical product performance and field expenses.  We update these estimated charges every quarter.  The actual product performance and/or field expense profiles may differ, and in those cases we adjust warranty accruals accordingly.



Contingencies and Litigation

We are named from time to time as a party to various legal proceedings.  While we currently believe the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict.



Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, (FAS 109) which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities.  FAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  To the extent that our deferred tax assets require valuation allowances in the future, the recording of such valuation allowances, would result in an increase to our tax provision in the period in which we determine that such a valuation allowance is required.



On a quarterly basis, we provide for income taxes based upon an annual effective income tax rate.  The effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic composition of forecasted worldwide earnings, tax regulations governing each region, availability of tax credits and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies.  We carefully monitor the changes in many factors and adjust our effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis.  If actual results differ from these estimates, this could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.



In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations.  We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional tax payments are probable.  If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary.  We record an additional charge in our provision for taxes in the period in which we determine that the recorded tax liability is less than we expect the ultimate assessment to be.



Goodwill and Impairment

The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses is considered to be goodwill.  On June 29, 2001, the FASB pronounced under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(FAS 142) that purchased goodwill should not be amortized, but rather, should be periodically reviewed for impairment.  We review for impairment annually, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount could exceed fair value.  Such impairment could be caused by internal factors as well as external factors beyond our control.  The FASB has further determined that at the time goodwill is considered impaired, an amount equal to the impairment loss should be charged as an operating expense in the statement of operations.  The timing
of such an impairment (if any) of goodwill acquired in past and future transactions is uncertain and difficult to predict.  Our results of operations in periods following any such impairment could be materially adversely affected.



In May 2005, we ceased certain sales operations under Cadapult.  Specifically, we ceased all sales and service of pre-press computer graphics systems.  We evaluated the goodwill resulting from the three Cadapult acquisitions and







28

##### Back to Index



determined that the goodwill resulting from those acquisitions was fully impaired.  Consequently, we incurred an impairment charge of approximately $0.88 million, which is reflected in the results from discontinued operations in our statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2005.  We have completed all transitional and annual impairment tests necessary to date and concluded that no other goodwill is impaired.  We have remaining net goodwill and net acquired intangible assets of approximately $3.58 million at June 30, 2007.  This goodwill resulted from the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of ultraHue, Inc. in 1999.



Due to uncertain market conditions and potential changes in our strategy and product portfolio, it is possible that the forecasts we use to support our goodwill and other intangible assets could change in the future.  Significant judgments are required to estimate the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, including estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates, estimating the applicable tax rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, projecting the future industry trends and market conditions, and making other assumptions.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions, including changes in our reporting structure, could materially affect our determinations of fair value.



RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In June 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reached a final consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities" (EITF 07-3).  EITF Issue No. 07-3, which is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008,  concludes that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities should be deferred and capitalized and that such amounts should be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed.  The adoption of EITF 07-3 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In February 2007, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159), which is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008.  This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings.  We are currently determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of our eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS No. 159 may have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.



In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is a pervasive pronouncement that defines how the fair value of assets and liabilities should be measured in more than 40 other accounting standards where such measurements are allowed or required.  In addition to defining fair value, the statement establishes a framework within GAAP for measuring fair value and expands required disclosures surrounding fair value measurements.  While it will change the way companies currently measure fair value, it does not establish any new instances where fair-value measurement is required. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as an amount that a company would receive if it sold an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a normal transaction between market participants in the same market where the company does business.  The provisions of SFAS
No. 157 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157.



In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 (SAB 108), "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements."  SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements.   SAB 108 establishes a "dual approach" that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of the error on each of the Company's financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures.  SAB 108 is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2007.  The Company currently believes the adoption of SAB 108 will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

##### Back to Index



In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.  FIN 48 will require the Company to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.  As used in this Interpretation, the term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.  The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is to be determined based on the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2007.  Any differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings.  In addition, the adoption of FIN 48 will result in the reclassification of certain unrecognized tax benefits from current to non-current liabilities in the Companys statement of financial position.  The Company has completed its initial evaluation of the impact of the July 1, 2007 adoption of FIN 48 and determined that such adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS INCLUDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES



The factors, risks and uncertainties should be considered by investors when reviewing any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in any of our public filings or press releases or in any oral statements made by us or any of our officers or other persons acting on our behalf.  The important factors that could affect forward-looking statements are subject to change, and we disclaim any obligation or duty to update or modify any forward-looking statements.



If any of the following risks occurs, our actual results could differ significantly, and the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.  We have identified the material risks which we believe may affect our business and the principal ways in which we anticipate that they may affect our business or financial condition.



RISKS RELATED TO OUR CORE BUSINESS OPERATIONS



We are at a competitive disadvantage because we operate in a market that is dominated by companies that are the original manufacturers of printers for which we supply products.  If we do not effectively compete with new and existing competitors, our revenues and operating margins will decline.



The printer consumable industry is highly competitive on both a worldwide basis and a regional geographic basis.  Our competitors and potential competitors range from large international original equipment printer manufacturers to numerous large and small providers of discounted remanufactured product.  Our most formidable competition in the color business printer space is the incumbent original equipment printer manufacturer (OEM).  Our OEM competitors include Xerox, Oki, Konica Minolta, Dell, Samsung, Ricoh and Epson.  In most cases, these OEMs enjoy market shares well in excess of 95%; some with shares as high as 99%.  These OEMs have certain inherent advantages due to the fact that they manufacturer the subject printers for which we produce competing solid ink and toner consumables.  These OEM competitors also have much greater financial, technical, marketing, name recognition, and other resources.  In
addition, the OEMs can influence dealer, distributor, and ultimately customer choice through incentive and other programs that discourage sale or purchase of non-OEM products.  We expect competition to increase in the future from existing competitors and a number of companies that  may enter our existing or future markets.  Increased competition could adversely affect our revenue and profitability through price reductions and loss of market share.



The principal competitive factors in our products include: product performance and quality, time to market, marketing and access to distribution channels, product warranty, customer services, and product design and price.  If we do not sufficiently differentiate our products on these factors, our business, operating results and financial condition will suffer.  Some of our current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than we have.  We may not be able to continue to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with new competitors.







30

##### Back to Index



In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, thereby increasing the ability of their products to address the needs of their current and prospective customers.  Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share and production economies.  Such competition could materially adversely affect our ability to sell our products on terms favorable to us.  Further, competitive pressures and functionally competitive products could require us to reduce the price of our products, which could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.  We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors and any failure to do so would have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.



We may need to change our pricing models to compete successfully.



The highly competitive markets in which we compete can put pressure on us to reduce the prices of our products.  As a result, we may not be able to maintain our historical prices and margins, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.  We believe that competition will increase in the future, which could require us to reduce prices, increase advertising expenditures or take other actions which may have an adverse effect on our operating results.  Decreasing prices resulting from competition and technological changes require us to sell a greater number of products to achieve the same level of net revenues and gross profit.  If this occurs and we are unable to attract new customers and sell increased quantities of products, our revenue growth and profitability could be adversely affected.  Any broadly-based changes to our prices and pricing policies could cause our
revenues to decline or be delayed as our sales force implements, and our customers adjust to, the new pricing policies.  Some of our competitors may bundle products for promotional purposes or as a long-term pricing strategy or provide guarantees of prices and product implementations.  These practices could, over time, significantly constrain the prices that we can charge for our products.



We rely on a small number of suppliers to provide key components for our products.



Our manufacturing process requires a high volume of quality raw materials and components from third-party suppliers.  Defective products received from these suppliers could reduce product reliability and harm our



reputation.  Our reliance on suppliers may result in product delays or price increases.  We use some components that are not common to the rest of the personal computer and consumer electronics industries.  Further, a number of our products utilize custom components.  Some key components and raw materials (including certain toners and electronic chips), may be obtained only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers, either because alternative sources are not available or the relationship is advantageous due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or price considerations.



We generally purchase raw materials, components and products using purchase orders and have no guaranteed supply arrangements with the suppliers.  From time to time, vendors may cease to do business with us for various reasons, or change our terms and conditions.  Any such termination or the implementation of such changes could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.  The loss of, or change in, business relationship with key suppliers, could negatively impact our competitive position.  Additionally, a merger or consolidation among our suppliers could result in price increases which would adversely impact our results of operations.



Even where alternative sources of supply may be available, qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which could have a material adverse affect on our financial performance.  Moreover, if actual demand for our products is different than expected, we may purchase more/fewer parts than necessary or incur costs for canceling, postponing or expediting delivery of products.  Any or all of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.



We rely on indirect distribution channels and major distributors that we do not control.



We rely significantly on independent distributors and resellers to market and distribute our products.  We do not control our distributors and resellers.  Additionally, our distributors and resellers are not obligated to buy our products and could also represent other lines of products.  Some of our distributors and resellers maintain







31



---



##### Back to Index



inventories of our products for resale to their customers.  If distributors and resellers reduce their inventory of our products, our business could be adversely affected.  Further, we could maintain individually significant accounts receivable balances with certain distributors.  The financial condition of our distributors could deteriorate and distributors could significantly delay or default on their payment obligations.  Any significant delays or defaults could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.



Any failure to maintain on-going sales through distribution channels could result in lower revenues.



To date, we have sold our products principally through distributors and resellers.  Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on our success in maintaining existing relationships and further establishing and expanding relationships with new distributors and resellers.  It is possible that we will not be able to successfully expand our distribution channels, secure business with additional distributors and resellers on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and otherwise adequately continue to develop and maintain our existing distribution relationships.  Moreover, even if we succeed in these endeavors, it still may not increase our revenues.  We need to carefully monitor the development and scope of our indirect sales channels and create appropriate pricing, sales force compensation and other distribution parameters.  If we invest resources in these types of expansion and
our overall revenues do not correspondingly increase, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.  Additionally, as we attempt to attract and penetrate additional distributors and resellers, we may need to increase corporate branding and marketing activities, which could increase our operating expenses.  Accordingly, these efforts, if not sufficiently effective, may actually reduce our profits.



We are dependent on commercial delivery services for supply of raw materials and finished goods as well as delivery of our products to customers.



We generally ship our products in from our suppliers and to our customers by common carrier, including, but not limited to Concordia, DHL, FedEx, Dacher Transport, Roadway Express, UPS Freight, United Parcel Service, and Yellow Freight.  If we are unable to pass on to our customers future increases in the costs of our commercial delivery services, our profitability could be adversely affected.  Additionally, strikes or other service interruptions by such shippers could adversely affect our ability to deliver products on a timely basis.



Product Concentration  Our business derives revenues from a single group of similar and related products.



Our revenues are derived primarily from a single group of similar and related products, and a decline in demand or prices for these products or services could substantially adversely affect our operating results.We currently derive the majority of our revenues from the sale of solid ink sticks and toner consumables for color work group printers.  We expect these products to continue to account for the majority of our revenues in the future. As a result, factors adversely affecting the pricing of or demand for such products, including difficult economic conditions, future terrorist activities or military actions, any decline in overall market demand, competition, product performance or technological change, could have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated results of operations and financial condition.



Our future growth is expected to be achieved through the development and introduction of new products, increasing market penetration of our existing products, and continuation of the trend in growth of color printing.  There are substantial risks that we will be unable to realize any or all of this expected growth.  Nor can we provide any assurance that new products we introduce will be successful in the market.  All of our new product initiatives have substantial, entrenched OEM competitors with greater resources and experience in these product areas.  There can be no assurances that all or any of these new products will be successful and contribute to profitability or growth.



Customer Concentration  Historically, a few customers have accounted for a large percentage of our revenues.  The loss of a significant customer would significantly reduce our revenues.



Our customer base is relatively highly concentrated.  Presently, two customers account for about 31% of our entire net revenues.  For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to have a relatively highly concentrated customer base.  In addition, the mix and type of customers, and sales to any single customer, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year.  If customers do not place orders, or delay or cancel orders, we may not be able to replace the business.  Any changing, rescheduling or canceling orders by these customers may result in a







32



---



##### Back to Index



significant decline in our revenues and profitability. Major customers may also seek and on occasion receive pricing, payment terms or other conditions that are less favorable to us.  In addition, certain customers may form strategic alliances or collaborative efforts that could result in additional complexities in managing individual customer relationships and transactions. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.



Product Warranty  Because we offer a liberal product warranty, expenses associated with the program could harm our revenues and substantially increase our costs.



We provide warranties for our products as to suitability for use in the intended printer models and that our products are free of defects that could cause damage to these printers.  Costs covered under the product warranty include customary charges for the repair or replacement of the printer with an equivalent new or refurbished printer, at our sole discretion.  We believe that our product warranty is relatively liberal, providing in most cases, broader and more complete coverage than that provided by the original equipment printer manufacturer.



Some of the products we offer are internally complex and, despite extensive testing and quality control, may contain defects.  We may need to recall defective products if these defects are not discovered until after commercial shipments have been made, issue credits to customers, impair and dispose of substantial inventories, and may incur substantial product warranty and service costs if our products damage customer printers.  Any product defects could also cause damage to our reputation and result in loss of revenues, product returns or order cancellations, lack of market acceptance of our products, as well as increase our product warranty or service costs.  Accordingly, any product defects could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.



In 2002, we conducted a product recall after manufacturing defects in certain solid ink sticks caused damage to some customer print heads.  The recall and related warranty expense cost us approximately $5.0 million.  Since then, we have made substantial improvements in testing and quality control processes.  We cannot guarantee that the testing and quality control improvements we have implemented will be effective in preventing future recalls and similar or more substantial material adverse effects on our business and results of operations.



We are exposed to inventory risks.



We are exposed to inventory risks as a result of the rapid technological changes that affect the market and pricing for the products we sell.  We seek to minimize our inventory exposure through a variety of inventory management procedures and policies.  However, if there were unforeseen product developments that created more rapid obsolescence or if vendors were to change their terms and conditions, our inventory risks could increase.  We also periodically take advantage of cost savings associated with certain opportunistic bulk inventory purchases offered by our vendors.  These bulk purchases could increase our exposure to inventory obsolescence.  We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our efforts to mitigate our inventory risk and, in fact, many of the competitive and technological factors that drive this risk are beyond our control.



We are, and may become, involved in litigation, which could materially harm our business.



We are a party to legal proceedings that arise from time to time, involving our business, products or operations.  We do not believe that any currently pending or threatened litigation, based on our assessment of merit, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.  However, the litigation process is inherently expensive, uncertain and includes the risk of an unexpected, unfavorable result.  Accordingly, it is possible in the future that the eventual outcome of litigation could materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.



If we are unable to finance our INKlusive program, we may be required to use alternative sources of financing or attempt to self-finance these activities.



We depend on our current third-party financing sources to fund our INKlusive program.  If either of our third-party financing vendors is unable to access the capital markets, ceases to operate as a finance company, or chooses not to participate in the financing of the INKlusive program, we may have to cease or scale-back our INKlusive program to the extent we are unable to self-finance the program.  As a result, our revenues and operating results could be adversely affected.







33

##### Back to Index



Covenants in our debt instruments could trigger a default adversely affecting our ability to execute our business plan, our ability to obtain further financing, and potentially adversely affect the ownership of our assets.



Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our loan agreements, the lenders or trustees could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable, and terminate all commitments to extend further debt.  If the lenders or trustees accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot provide assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our debt facilities and our other indebtedness or be able to implement our business plan.  If we are unable to repay our outstanding indebtedness, the bank could foreclose on all of our assets.  Accordingly, the occurrence of an event of default could have a material adverse affect on our financial position, results of operations, and our viability as a going concern.



Our bank debt agreements contain financial and other covenants.  Although we believe none of these covenants are presently restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot provide assurance that we will meet those tests.  A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our debt agreements.  We have a revolving line of credit with a financial institution, whereby we can borrow funds, subject to availability of collateral.  Borrowings under the credit line are collateralized by all of our assets.  Although we currently have no outstanding balances under this line, we have several term notes with the same lender that are cross collateralized and contain cross default provisions with the revolving line-of-credit.



If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, we may not be able to fund our product development, potential acquisitions, or fulfill our future obligations.



Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our operations and product development, including the payment of cash consideration in any potential acquisitions and the payment of our other obligations, depends on a range of economic, competitive and business factors, many of which are outside our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that we will be able to sell

assets or raise equity or debt financings when needed or on desirable terms.  An inability to fund our operations or fulfill outstanding obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.



RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND SENSITIVITY

TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS



Commodity price fluctuations may increase our cost of goods and adversely affect our results.



A large percentage of our products utilize petroleum, flax and soybean-based materials and paper and corrugated packaging.  Volatility in the prices of these commodities could increase the costs of our products, which we may not be able to pass on to our customers, and thereby adversely effect our results of operations and cash flows.



Our international operations expose us to greater management, collections, currency, export licensing, intellectual property, tax, regulatory and other risks.  Expansion into international markets is important to our long-term success, and our inexperience in the operation of our business outside the U.S. increases the risk that our international expansion efforts might not be successful.



Net revenue outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 21% of our consolidated net revenue in fiscal 2007.  These non-U.S. sales are primarily concentrated in Western Europe and are expected to grow at a rate faster than our U.S. business.  We opened our first office outside the U.S. in January 2005, and have only limited experience with operations outside the U.S. Expansion into international markets requires management attention and resources.  These risks could harm our international expansion efforts, which would in turn harm our business and operating results.



Our international business is subject to a number of risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory practices and tariffs, longer collection cycles, seasonality, potential changes in export licensing and tax laws, and greater difficulty in protecting intellectual property rights.  Also, the impact of fluctuating exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and







34



---



##### Back to Index



foreign currencies in markets where we do business may significantly impact our revenues.  For example, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could have an unexpected adverse impact on our international revenue.  If the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the European currencies were to significantly increase, it could have an unexpected adverse impact on our revenues, profits and other operating results.  General economic and political conditions in these foreign markets, including the military action in the Middle East, geopolitical instabilities on the Korean peninsula and other parts of Asia and a backlash against U.S. based companies may also impact our international revenues, as such conditions may cause decreases in demand or impact our ability to collect payment from our customers. There can be no assurances that these factors and other factors will not have a material adverse effect on our future
international revenues and consequently on our business and consolidated financial condition and results of operations.



Currently, all of our toner-based products are sourced and assembled in foreign locations, particularly Japan, China, and Taiwan, which subject us to a number of economic and other risks.



Local laws in effect or that may be enacted in foreign jurisdictions may afford less protection to holders of our securities than those in effect in the United States.



We presently have two non-U.S. subsidiaries, Media Sciences U.K. Limited and Media Sciences Trading Ltd. (a Bermudan entity), and we expect to have others in the future.  These foreign subsidiaries are organized under the laws of their respective jurisdictions.  Thus, holders of our securities should not conclude that assets and interests held by such foreign subsidiaries are subject to the same protections afforded similar entities incorporated in a United States jurisdiction.



Our earnings and growth rate could be adversely affected by changes in general economic conditions and uncertain geopolitical conditions.



Weak general economic conditions, along with uncertainties in geopolitical conditions, could adversely impact our revenue and growth rate and impair the value of our assets.  In addition, our revenue, gross margin and earnings could deteriorate in the future as a result of unfavorable economic or political conditions.



RISKS RELATED TO OUR TECHNOLOGY AND THE NATURE OF OUR PRODUCTS



We operate in an industry characterized by increasingly rapid technological changes and our sales are dependent on the continued development of new technologies and products.



The markets for our products and services are characterized by: rapid technological change; increasing technical complexity of the products (i.e., new chemical toners, use of new smart chips, etc.); evolving industry standards; fluctuations in customer demand; changes in customer requirements; and frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements.



Our future success depends on our ability to continually enhance our current products and develop and introduce new products and services that our customers choose to buy.  The timely availability of marketable new products is critical to our future success. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in this effort.  Our future success could be hindered by: delays in our introduction of new products and services; delays in market acceptance of new products and services or new releases of our current products and services; and our, or a competitors, announcement of new product or service enhancements or technologies that could replace or shorten the life cycle of our existing product and service offerings.



Execution risks associated with product development and introduction are significant and could reduce the demand for our products and the profitability of our operations.



Continuing improvements in technology mean frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles, and improvement in product performance characteristics.  New product introductions present execution challenges and risks for us.  If we are unable to effectively manage a product introduction, our business and results of operations could be unfavorably affected.

Our success is subject to many risks, including, but not limited to, our ability to timely and cost-effectively: (1) develop and market new products and price products appropriately; (2) improve existing products and increase market share in our existing markets; (3) expand into or develop related and new markets for our technology; (4) achieve market acceptance of, and accurately forecast demand and meet production schedules for, our products; (5) achieve cost efficiencies across product offerings; (6) adapt to technology changes in related markets; (7) adapt to changes in value offered by companies in different parts of the supply chain; (8) qualify products for volume manufacturing with our customers; and (9) successfully implement improvements in our manufacturing process.  Furthermore, new or improved products may involve higher costs and reduced efficiencies
compared to our more established products and could adversely affect our gross margins.  In addition, we must successfully implement changes in our design engineering methodology, including changes that result in: significant decreases in material costs and cycle time; greater commonality of components and types of parts used in different products; and effective product life cycle management.  If we do not successfully manage these challenges, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.



We cannot guarantee that our products will achieve the broad market acceptance by our channel and entities with which we have a technology relationship, customers and prospective customers necessary to generate significant revenue.  In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or new product announcements by others.  If we experience material delays or sales shortfalls with respect to our new products and services or new releases of our current products and services, those delays or shortfalls could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.



Our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could offer only limited protection.  Competitors may use our technology, which could weaken our competitive position, reduce our revenues and increase our costs.



Our success depends, to a large extent, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology.  We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret rights, and confidentiality procedures to establish and protect our proprietary rights.  As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, distributors and corporate partners with respect to our documentation and other proprietary information.  Despite precautions we may take to protect our intellectual property, we can provide no assurance that third parties will not try to challenge, invalidate or circumvent these safeguards.  It is

possible that other companies could successfully challenge the validity or scope of our current or future patents or that our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products, or design around patents and other intellectual property rights that we hold.  We also cannot provide assurance that the rights granted under our patents or attendant to our other intellectual property will provide us with any competitive advantages, or that patents will be issued on any of our pending applications, or that future patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology.  Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights in those countries to the same extent as applicable law protects these rights in the United States.  Failure to protect our intellectual property could have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition.



Existing and future claims of intellectual property infringement against us could seriously harm our business because it could inhibit our ability to use certain technologies, divert our management efforts, result in costly litigation, and subject us to significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate outcome.



We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business, that our products infringe certain patent or other intellectual property rights.  It is possible that third parties, including competitors, technology partners, and other technology companies, could successfully claim that our current or future products, whether developed internally or acquired, infringe their rights, including their trade secret, copyright and patent rights.  These types of claims, with or without merit, can cause costly litigation that absorbs significant management time, as well as impede our sales efforts due to any uncertainty as to the outcome, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.  These types of claims, with or without merit, could also cause us to pay substantial damages or settlement amounts, cease offering of any subject
technology or products altogether, require us to enter into royalty or license agreements, and damage our ability to sell products due to any uncertainty generated as to intellectual property ownership.  Under certain circumstances our suppliers may be contractually obligated to indemnify us against certain expenses, however those suppliers may ultimately be unable to meet their obligations.  Further, by successfully challenging the validity of patents or other intellectual property, we may make it easier for other competitors to enter the market.

Because of technological changes in our industry, current extensive patent coverage, and the rapid rate of issuance of new patents, it is possible that certain of our products, including products obtained through acquisitions, components, and business methods may unknowingly infringe existing patents of others.  We attempt to ensure that products we develop or acquire, and our processes, do not infringe upon third party patents and other proprietary rights.  We typically conduct as many as three independent intellectual property reviews as an integral part of our product development process: an extensive in-house review, a review by external counsel, and our key suppliers conduct their own review.  Before product launch, these independent reviews are compared and reconciled.  Despite these efforts, we cannot guarantee that this process will be effective in preventing the infringement of the patent rights of others.



We do not believe that any currently pending or threatened litigation, based on our assessment of merit, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.  However, the litigation process is inherently expensive, uncertain and includes the risk of an unexpected, unfavorable result.  Accordingly, it is possible in the future that the eventual outcome of litigation could materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.



On June 23, 2006, Xerox Corporation filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging Media Sciences solid inks designed for use in the Xerox Phaser 8500 and 8550 printers infringe four Xerox-held patents related to the shape of the ink sticks in combination with the Xerox ink stick feed assembly. The suit seeks unspecified damages and fees.  In the Companys answer and counterclaims in this action, it denied infringement and it seeks a finding of invalidity of the Xerox patents in question.  The Company also submitted counterclaims against Xerox for breach of contract and violation of  the antitrust laws, seeking treble damages and recovery of legal fees.  We believe we have meritorious defenses and counterclaims and intend to pursue them vigorously.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our defense of this action.  The loss of all or a part of this lawsuit could have a
material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations.



OTHER BUSINESS RISKS



Challenges of Growth  If we fail to manage our operations and grow revenues or fail to continue to effectively control expenses, our future operating results could be adversely affected.



The scope of our operations, the number of our employees and the geographic area of our operations and our revenues have grown rapidly.  Our growth could place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources.  To manage our current growth and any future growth effectively, we need to continue to implement and improve additional management and financial systems and controls.  We may not be able to manage the current scope of our operations or future growth effectively and still exploit market opportunities for our products and services in a timely and cost-effective way.



We attribute most of our growth during recent years to the introduction of new products and general growth of the color work group printer market.  We can provide no assurance that this market we serve will continue to grow.  We also can provide no assurance that we will be successful in developing and introducing new products or that any new products we may introduce will actually increase our revenue growth rate.



If we experience a shortfall in revenue in any given quarter, due to the fixed nature of many of our expenses, we may not be able to further reduce operating expenses quickly in response.  Any significant shortfall in revenue therefore could immediately and adversely affect our results of operations for that quarter.  Accordingly, our revenue growth, profitability and cash flows from operating activities could be lower than in recent years.



If we are unable to attract and retain key executive and management personnel, we may not be able to manage and execute our business plan.



Our success depends, in large part, upon the services of a number of key employees.  Other than our founder and CEO, Michael W. Levin, who has an employment agreement and for whom we maintain a key-person life insurance policy, our executive officers and key employees are at-will employees and are not covered by key-person life insurance policies.  Competition for these types of employees is intense, and it is possible that we will not be able to retain our key employees and that we will not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining qualified candidates in the future.

##### Back to Index



Further, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified board members and executive officers, which would adversely affect our business.  Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, mandate, among other things, that companies adopt new corporate governance measures and impose comprehensive reporting and disclosure requirements, set stricter independence and financial expertise standards for audit committee members and impose increased civil and criminal penalties for companies, their chief executive officers, chief financial officers and directors for securities law violations.  In addition, regulations adopted by stock exchanges require comprehensive rules and regulations relating to corporate governance. These laws, rules and regulations have increased and will make it more difficult and
more expensive for us to obtain director and officer (D&O) liability insurance in the future.  Further, our board members, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with the performance of their duties that cannot be addressed with D&O insurance.



If we lose key personnel or cannot hire enough qualified employees, it will adversely affect our ability to manage our business, develop, acquire new products and increase revenue.



The effective management of our growth could depend upon our ability to retain our highly skilled technical, managerial, finance and marketing personnel.  If any of those employees leave, we will need to attract and retain replacements for them.  To achieve our growth objectives, we also need to add key personnel in the future.  The market for these qualified employees is competitive. We could find it difficult to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel in sufficient numbers.  We might not attract and retain enough qualified personnel to support our anticipated domestic or international growth and our increasingly complex product offerings.



Furthermore, we may need to hire additional personnel to develop new products, product enhancements and technologies.  If we cannot add the necessary staff and resources, our ability to develop future products could be delayed.  Similarly, we may need to hire key personnel in connection with potential future acquisitions.  If we cannot retain and add the necessary staff and resources for these acquired businesses, our ability to develop acquired products, markets and customers could be delayed.  Any such delays could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.



We may incur substantial additional costs to motivate, attract, and retain key employees



As a result of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments, which began in our first quarter of fiscal 2007 (ending September 30, 2006), we recorded a charge to earnings for all equity-based compensation, such as stock options and restricted stock awards granted to employees.  This requirement reduces the attractiveness of granting equity-based compensation as the expense associated with these grants will decrease our profitability.  If we do not successfully attract, retain and motivate key employees as a result of these or other factors, our operating results and ability to capitalize on our opportunities may be materially and adversely affected.



In addition, regulations adopted by the  NASDAQ and certain other exchanges require stockholder approval for new equity compensation plans and significant amendments to existing plans, including increases in shares available for issuance under such plans, and prohibit member organizations from giving a proxy to vote on equity compensation plans unless the beneficial owner of the shares has given voting instructions. These regulations could make it more difficult for us to grant equity compensation to employees in the future. To the extent that these regulations make it more difficult or expensive to grant equity compensation to employees, we may incur increased compensation costs or find it difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, which could materially and adversely affect our business.



If we become subject to unfair hiring claims, we could be prevented from hiring needed employees, incurliability for damages and incur substantial litigation costs in defending ourselves.



Companies in our industry whose employees accept positions with competitors frequently claim that those competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices or that the employment of these persons would involve the disclosure or use of trade secrets. These claims could prevent us from hiring employees or cause us to incur liability







38

for damages. We could also incur substantial costs in defending ourselves or our employees against these claims, regardless of their merits. Defending ourselves from these claims could also divert the attention of our management away from our operations.



Disruption of our operations at our corporate headquarters could negatively impact our results of operations.



Although we have multiple sales office locations in the United States and an office in Western Europe, essentially all of our computer equipment, intellectual property resources and personnel, including critical resources dedicated to research and development, manufacturing and administrative support functions, are presently located at our corporate headquarters in Oakland, New Jersey.  The occurrence of natural disasters or other unanticipated catastrophes could cause interruptions in our operations.  Extensive or multiple interruptions in our operations due to natural disasters or unanticipated catastrophes could severely disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.



RISKS RELATED TO OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY



Because our business relies upon a variety of computer systems to operate effectively, the failure or disruption of, or latent defects in, these systems could have a material adverse effect on our business.



We depend on our information technology and manufacturing infrastructure to achieve our business objectives.  The effectiveness and efficiency of our operations depend on a variety of information systems, including e-mail, enterprise resource planning, electronic data interchange, customer resource management and e-commerce systems, and financial accounting.  Disruption in the operation of these systems, or difficulties in maintaining or upgrading these systems, could have a material adverse effect on our business.  An infrastructure disruption could cause us to



lose customers and revenue, and could require us to incur significant expense to eliminate these problems and address related security concerns.  The harm to our business could be even greater if it occurs during a period of disproportionately heavy demand.  Difficulties that we have encountered, or may encounter, in connection with our implementation and use of our computer systems, including human error or our reliance on, or a failure or disruption of, or latent defects in, such systems, could adversely affect our order management and fulfillment, financial reporting and supply chain management processes, and any such difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our business.



The success of our business depends on the continuing development, maintenance and operation of our information technology systems.



Our success is dependent on the accuracy, proper utilization and continuing development of our information technology systems, including our business application systems, Web servers and telecommunications network. The quality and our utilization of the information generated by our information technology systems, and our success in implementing new systems and upgrades, affects, among other things, our ability to:



|conduct business with our customers;                                                
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|manage our inventory and accounts receivable;                                       
|purchase, sell, ship and invoice our products efficiently and on a timely basis; and
|maintain our cost-efficient operating model.                                        



The integrity of our information technology systems is vulnerable to certain forms of disaster including, but not limited to, natural disasters such as tornadoes.  While we have taken steps to protect our information technology systems from a variety of threats, including computer viruses and malicious hackers, there can be no guarantee that those steps will be effective.  Furthermore, although we have redundant systems at a separate location to back up our primary application systems, there can be no assurance that these redundant systems will operate properly if and when required.  Any disruption to or infiltration of our information technology systems could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

We have operations, clients, and vendors throughout the world.  Our operations are dependent upon the connectivity of our operations throughout the world. Activities that interfere with our international connectivity, such as computer hacking or the introduction of a virus into our computer systems, could significantly interfere with our business operations.



RISKS RELATED TO ACQUISITIONS AND ALLIANCES



We are exposed to risks associated with acquisitions.



From our inception in May 1987, we have made a number of strategic acquisitions.  In connection with acquisitions completed prior to June 30, 2007, we recorded approximately $4.9 million as intangible assets and goodwill, of which approximately $0.4 million had been amortized and $0.9 million written off.  We intend to continue to address the need to develop new products and enhance existing products through acquisitions of other companies, product lines and/or technologies.  Our growth is dependent upon market growth, growth in market share, our ability to enhance existing products and services, and our ability to introduce new products on a timely basis.



In the future we expect to acquire, or make significant investments in, businesses to achieve our strategic objectives.  While we expect to carefully analyze each potential acquisition before committing to the transaction, we may not be able to integrate and manage acquired products and businesses effectively.  We cannot assure anyone that our previous acquisitions or any future acquisitions will be successful in helping us reach our financial and strategic goals either for that acquisition or for us generally.  Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including but not limited to: (1) diversion of managements attention from other operational matters; (2) inability to complete acquisitions as anticipated or at all; (3) inability to realize synergies expected to result from an acquisition; (4) failure to commercialize purchased technologies; (5) ineffectiveness of an acquired
companys internal controls; (6) impairment of acquired assets as a result of technological advancements or worse-than-expected performance of the acquired company or its product offerings; (7) unknown, underestimated and/or undisclosed commitments or liabilities, including those related to an acquired companys product quality or unauthorized use of a third-partys intellectual property; (8) substantial unanticipated costs; (9) material product liability or intellectual property liability associated with the sale of the acquired companys products; (10) failure to integrate and retain key employees; and (11) ineffective integration of operations.  Mergers and acquisitions are inherently subject to significant risks, and the inability to effectively manage these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.



In addition, acquisitions also expose us to the risk of claims by terminated employees, shareholders of the acquired companies or other third parties related to the transaction.  If we undertake future acquisitions, we may issue dilutive securities, assume or incur additional debt obligations, incur large one-time expenses, utilize substantial portions of our cash, and acquire intangible assets that would result in significant future amortization expense.  In a number of our acquisitions, we have agreed to make future payments, or earnouts, based on the performance of the businesses we acquired.  The performance goals pursuant to which these future payments may be made generally relate to achievement by the acquired business of certain specified bookings, revenue, product proliferation, product development or employee retention goals during a specified period following completion of the applicable acquisition.
 Future acquisitions may involve issuances of stock as payment of the purchase price for the acquired business, grants of incentive stock or options to employees of the acquired businesses (which may be dilutive to existing stockholders), expenditure of substantial cash resources or the incurrence of material amounts of debt.  Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.



If we determine that any of our goodwill or intangible assets, including technology purchased in acquisitions, are impaired, we would be required to take a charge to earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.



On June 29, 2001, the FASB pronounced under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142) that purchased goodwill should not be amortized, but rather, should be periodically reviewed for impairment.  Such impairment could be caused by internal factors as well as external factors beyond our control.  The FASB has further determined that at the time goodwill is considered impaired, an amount equal to the impairment loss should be charged as an operating expense in the statement of operations.  The timing of such an impairment (if any) of goodwill acquired in past and future transactions is uncertain and difficult







40

##### Back to Index



to predict.  Our results of operations in periods following any such impairment could be materially adversely affected.  We are required to determine whether goodwill and any assets acquired in past acquisitions have been impaired in accordance with FAS 142 and, if so, charge such impairment as an expense.  In the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we took an asset impairment charge of $0.9 million related to past acquisitions.  We have remaining net goodwill and net acquired intangible assets of approximately $3.6 million at June 30, 2007, so if we are required to take such additional impairment charges, or if financial analysts or investors believe we may need to take such action in the future, our stock price and operating results could be materially adversely affected.



We review for impairment annually, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount could exceed fair value.  Due to uncertain market conditions and potential changes in our strategy and product portfolio, it is possible that the forecasts we use to support our goodwill and other intangible assets could change in the future.  Significant judgments are required to estimate the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, including estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates, estimating the applicable tax rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, projecting the future industry trends and market conditions, and making other assumptions.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions, including changes in our reporting structure, could materially affect our determinations of fair value.



REGULATORY RISKS



We cannot provide any assurance that current laws, or any laws enacted in the future, will not have a material adverse effect on our business.



Our operations are subject to laws, rules, regulations, including environmental regulations, government policies and other requirements in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct business.  Changes in and compliance with such laws, rules, regulations, policies or requirements could result in increased costs, the need to modify our products and could affect the demand for our products, which may have an adverse impact on our future operating results.  If we do not comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, we could be subject to costs and liabilities and our business may be adversely impacted.



Our operating results could be adversely affected as a result of changes in our effective tax rates.



As a U.S. based multinational company, we are subject to taxation in the United States and various other countries.  Significant judgment is required to determine and estimate worldwide tax liabilities.  Our future tax rates could be affected by changes in the following:



| | Earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we are taxed at lower rates as compared to the United States statutory tax rate;                                            
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | An increase in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, including certain stock compensation, write-offs of acquired in-process research and development and impairment of goodwill;
| | Changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;                                                                                                                 
| | Changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws; or                                                                                                                       
| | New accounting standards or interpretations of such standards.                                                                                                                       



Any significant change in our future effective tax rates could adversely impact our results of operations for future periods.  Accordingly, forecasting our estimated annual effective tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty, and material differences between forecasted and actual tax rates could have a material impact on our results of operations.



Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes.  The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations.  In determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations. We provide for tax liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets unless we consider it probable that additional taxes will not be due.  However, the ultimate outcome of tax examinations cannot be predicted with certainty, including the total amount payable or the timing of any such payments upon resolution of such issues.  In addition, we cannot assure you that such amounts will not be materially different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.  Should the IRS or other tax authorities assess additional taxes as a







41

##### Back to Index



result of a current or a future examination, we may be required to record charges to operations in future periods that could have a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows in the applicable period or periods recorded.



Changes in accounting regulations and related interpretations and policies, could cause us to recognize lower revenue and profits.



Policies, guidelines and interpretations related to revenue recognition, accounting for acquisitions, income taxes, facilities consolidation charges, allowances for doubtful accounts and other financial reporting matters require difficult judgments on complex matters that are often subject to multiple sources of authoritative guidance.  To the extent that managements judgment is incorrect, it could result in an adverse impact on our financial statements.  Some of these matters are also among topics currently under re-examination by accounting standard setters and regulators.  These standard setters and regulators could promulgate interpretations and guidance that could result in material and potentially adverse changes to our accounting policies.



If we are required to remit significant payroll taxes resulting from employee stock option exercises, it could have an adverse impact on our future financial results.



When our employees exercise certain stock options, we are subject to employer payroll taxes on the difference between the price of our common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price. These payroll taxes are determined by the tax rates in effect in the employees taxing jurisdiction and are treated as an expense in the period in which the exercise occurs. During a particular period, these payroll taxes could be material, in particular if an increase in our stock price causes a significant number of employees to exercise their options. However, because we are unable to predict our stock price, the number of exercises, or the country of exercise during any particular period, we cannot predict the amount, if any, of employer payroll tax expense that will be recorded in a future period or the impact on our future financial results. Stock price increases make it more likely that option holders will
exercise their options and, accordingly, that we would incur higher payroll taxes.



Changes in financial accounting standards related to share-based payments are expected to have an adverse impact on our reported results of operations.



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.  SFAS No. 123(R) is a very complex accounting standard that requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar awards.  The adoption of the new standard in our 2007 fiscal year adversely impacted on our reported results of operations (see Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).  SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current financial accounting standards.  This requirement did reduce our net operating cash flows and increased our net financing cash flows and will similarly affect future periods.  Additionally, SFAS No. 123(R) could adversely impact our ability to provide
accurate financial guidance concerning our expected results of operations on a GAAP basis due to the variability of the factors used to estimate the values of share-based payments.  As a result, the adoption of this or other future new standards could negatively affect our stock price and our stock price volatility.



Furthermore, the application of SFAS No. 123(R) requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding stock price volatility, option forfeiture rates and expected option lives, to build a model for appropriately valuing share-based compensation.  There is little experience or guidance with respect to developing these assumptions and models.  There is also uncertainty as to how SFAS No. 123(R) will be interpreted and applied as more companies adopt the standard and companies and their advisors gain more experience with the standard.



There is a risk that, as we and others gain experience with SFAS No. 123(R) or as a result of subsequent accounting guidelines, we could determine that the assumptions or model we used requires modification.  Any such modification could result in significantly different charges in future periods and, potentially, could require us to correct the charges taken in prior periods.  Any such corrections of charges taken in a prior period could negatively affect our results of operations, stock price and our stock price volatility.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting may materially adversely impact our business.



Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, our brand and operating results could be harmed.  Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including managements assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud.  Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only limited assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.  In addition,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations, and there could be a material adverse effect on our stock price.



We are subject to internal control evaluations and attestation requirements of Section404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.



Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management must perform evaluations of our internal control over financial reporting; as such standards may be modified, supplemented or amended from time to time.  Beginning during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 or 2009, and annually thereafter, our Form 10-K must include a report of our managements assessment of the adequacy of such internal control, and our independent registered public accounting firm must publicly attest to the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls.  Ongoing compliance with these requirements is complex, costly and time-consuming.  If we fail to maintain an effective internal control over financial reporting, if our management does not timely assess the adequacy of such internal controls, or if our independent registered public accounting firm does not timely attest to the evaluation, we could be subject to
regulatory sanctions and the publics perception of Media Sciences may decline and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.



RISKS OF OWNING OUR COMMON STOCK



Securities analysts or investors expectations may not be met or exceeded, resulting in a decline in our stock price.



If our revenues, operating results, earnings or outlook are below the levels expected by investors or securities analysts, our stock price is likely to decline.  Moreover, even if our total revenues meet investors and securities analysts expectations, if a component of our total revenues or operating results does not meet these expectations, our stock price may decline.



Deviations from expectations may be the result of unreasonable or aggressive analyst or investor expectations and/or result from fluctuations in our revenues and operating results.  We may experience significant fluctuations in our future revenues and operating results as a result of many factors, including:



| | difficulty predicting the size and timing of customer orders;

| | the rate of customer acceptance of our new or existing products or the acceptance of such products  expected to be introduced in the future, and any delays in our launch of new products or delays in orders caused by customer evaluations of these new products;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
| | periodic difficult economic conditions, particularly affecting the technology industry, as well as economic uncertainties arising out of possible future terrorist activities; military and security actions in Iraq and the Middle East in general; and geopolitical instability in markets such as the Korean peninsula and other parts of Asia, all of which have increased the likelihood that we may have product supply issues or that customers will unexpectedly delay, cancel or reduce the size of orders, resulting in revenue shortfalls;

Our stock price has been volatile, and you could lose the value of your investment.



Our stock price has been volatile and has fluctuated significantly in the past and your investment in our stock could lose some or all of its value.  For example, during the past twelve months, the closing sales price of our common stock has fluctuated from a high of $6.86 per share to a low of $4.40 per share.  The trading price of our stock is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to fluctuations in the future in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:



| | quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;                                                                       
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | announcements by us or our competitors of new products, product improvements, significant contracts,
commercial relationships or capital commitments;
| | the emergence of new sales or distribution channels in which we are unable to compete effectively;                                                   
| | our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;                                                                       
| | commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation;                                                                                                  
| | recommendations by securities analysts or changes in earnings estimates;                                                                             
| | announcements about our earnings that are not in line with analyst expectations; and                                                                 
| | general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets.                                                                          



The stock market in general and the market for small market capitalization technology companies in particular have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations.  These broad market and industry factors could materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.  Our fluctuating stock price also carries other risks, including the increased risk of shareholder litigation.

Our officers, directors and affiliates beneficially own approximately 26% of the outstanding shares of common stock, allowing these shareholders to influence matters requiring approval of the stockholders.



As of June 30, 2007, our officers, directors and affiliates beneficially owned shares of our common stock representing approximately 26% of our voting stock.  As a result of such ownership, and potential increased ownership, by our officers and directors, other investors will have limited control over matters requiring approval by the stockholders, including the election of directors.  Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for you to influence corporate matters, and our management may take actions that our stockholders do not view as beneficial.



We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.



We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Future cash dividends on the common stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board, and will depend on our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions imposed by lending or other agreements, and other factors that the board may consider important.



We have authorized a class of preferred stock which may alter the rights of common stock holders by giving preferred stock holders greater dividend rights, liquidation rights and voting rights than our common stockholders have.



Our board is empowered to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.  Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes a class of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.  In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the company.



Anti-takeover defenses in our governing documents and certain provisions under Delaware law could be dilutive and prevent an acquisition of our company or limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for our common stock.



Our governing documents and certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law could make it difficult for another company to acquire control of our company.  Our certificate of incorporation allows our board to issue, at any time and without stockholder approval, preferred stock with voting rights or such other rights, preferences and terms as it may determine.  Also, Delaware law generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with a person owning 15% or more of its voting stock, or who is affiliated with the corporation and owned 15% or more of its voting stock at any time within three years prior to the proposed business combination, for a period of three years from the date the person became a 15% owner, unless specified conditions are met.  All or any one of these factors could limit the price that certain investors would be willing to pay for shares of our
common stock and could delay, prevent or allow our Board of Directors to resist an acquisition of our company, even if the proposed transaction were favored by independent stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Media Sciences International, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Media Sciences International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



Effective July 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Media Sciences International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007, and their results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MEDIA SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:



Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Media Sciences International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the Company, Media Sciences, we or our, and have been prepared in United States dollars, and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  Unless otherwise indicated, references in the consolidated financial statements and these notes to 2007 and 2006 are to Media Sciences fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.



Nature of Business and Principles of Consolidation(Media Sciences International, Inc. is a holding company which conducts its business through its operating subsidiaries.  The Company is a manufacturer of business color printer supplies, which the Company distributes through an international network of dealers and distributors and directly to end users in the United States through various programs.  The Company consolidates companies in which it owns or controls more than fifty percent of the voting shares.  If the Company had any variable interest entities in which the Company bore a majority of the entities potential losses or stood to benefit from the entities expected returns, it would also consolidate such entities.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Estimates and Uncertainties(The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The Companys most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation  of the financial statements relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, inventory reserves, income taxes, product warranty costs and certain accrued expenses.  Actual results, as determined at a later date, could differ from those estimates.



Reclassifications(Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.



Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt reasonably approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments.  Long-term debt carrying value approximates their fair value at the balance sheet dates.  The fair value estimates presented herein were based on market or other information available to management.  The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.



Cash Equivalents All highly-liquid debt instruments with original or remaining maturities of less than three months at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.



Inventories Inventories, consisting of materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, and associated in-bound shipping and freight costs, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.  Abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials, if any, are recognized as current period charges.  The Company reviews the adequacy of its inventory reserves on a quarterly basis.  Additions to inventory reserves are recognized as current period charges to cost of goods sold.  The Company writes down inventory based on forecasted demand and technological obsolescence.  These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes, new product introductions and changes in strategic direction and require estimates that may include
uncertain elements.  Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):



Property and Equipment Property and equipment are reported at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation of property and equipment is based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to seven years for furniture, equipment, automobiles, tooling and molds.  Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the term of the underlying lease.  Construction in progress is not depreciated until the assets are placed in service.  Depreciation and amortization associated with the Companys manufacturing operations, including tooling and molds, are classified in the consolidated statements of income as components of cost of goods sold.  All other depreciation and amortization is classified as a component of selling, general and
administrative expense.



Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsThe Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets with finite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset including disposition are less than the carrying value of the asset.  No impairment adjustments to long-lived assets were made during the years ended June 30, 2007 or 2006.



Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets As required by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized but subject to impairment testing annually, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a two-step process. The first is to identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of reporting units to their fair value. If a potential impairment is identified, the second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the impairment loss. Reporting unit fair value is estimated using the income approach, which assumes that the value of a reporting unit can be computed as the present value of the assumed future returns of an enterprise discounted at a rate of return that reflects the riskiness of an investment.  Purchased
technology, patents, trademarks and other intangible assets with finite lives are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization.  Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 144.  We completed our annual impairment test necessary as of June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 and concluded that no goodwill was impaired at the end of either reporting period.



Contingencies and Litigation --The Company is subject to the possibility of losses from various contingencies. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the probability and amount of any loss from such contingencies.   An accrual is made in the period in which it becomes probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.  With respect to litigation, the Company assesses the adequacy of any loss provisions based on the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.  Based on experience, the Company believes that damage amounts claimed in the specific matters are not a meaningful indicator of the Companys potential liability.  Litigation is inherently unpredictable.  Accordingly,
it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of a contingency or because of the diversion of managements attention and the creation of significant expenses (see Note 6 Commitments, Litigation  and Contingencies).

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):



Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.  The Company invests its cash indirectly in a variety of money-market instruments, including, but not limited to, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, variable rate obligations, certificates of deposit, United States Treasury and agency securities.  The Company also maintains cash balances with financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 each.  At various times during the year, such balances do exceed the FDIC limit.  The Company has not experienced any credit losses with respect to its cash and cash equivalent assets.



Concentration of credit risk with respect to all trade receivables is considered to be limited due to the quantity and diversity of customers comprising the Companys customer base.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and does not require collateral to secure accounts receivable.  When considered appropriate, the Company may utilize letters of credit or other means to mitigate credit risk.  For its U.S. manufactured solid ink product, the Company maintains credit insurance, where available, on its foreign receivables through government sponsored programs.  Non-U.S. manufactured products, including the Companys current line of toner-based products, are not covered under this same export insurance.  The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon expected collectibility of all accounts receivable.



Vendor Concentrations In 2007, two vendors represented 24% of our cost of goods sold, with no single vendor accounting for more than 13%.   In 2006, three vendors represented 42% of our cost of goods sold, with no single vendor accounting for more than 20%.



Major Customers In 2007, two customers represented 17% and 14% of the Companys net revenues and 29% and 21%, respectively, of accounts receivable at June 30, 2007.  In 2006, these same large customers each represented 14% of the Companys net revenues.



Foreign Currencies and Derivative Financial Instruments The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiary, Media Sciences UK, Ltd., is currently the U.S. dollar.  The Company does not currently employ financial instruments, such as forward exchange contracts, to hedge its risks associated with its non-U.S. business, including the substantial risks associated with appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of the Companys non-U.S. customers.



Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized at the point of shipment and transfer of title for goods sold, provided collection is reasonably assured.  Net revenues include $95,000 and $93,000 of reimbursed shipping and freight expense for 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Provisions for rebates, product returns and discounts to customers are recognized as reductions in determining net revenues in the same period as the related revenues are recorded.  Any sales or other taxes collected from customers are not reflected in the consolidated statements of income, but instead are reflected as current obligations in the consolidated balance sheets until disbursed to the respective taxing authority.



Under the INKlusive program, the Company provides a customer with a business color printer or multifunction device, on-site service and a defined, regular shipment of supplies (ink or toner), all for the cost of just the supplies.  We offer this program in conjunction with a financing company.  Media Sciences does not own or otherwise finance the cost of the printer, nor does Media Sciences guarantee the credit worthiness of the customer.  Under our agreement with the financing company, at the time of placement of the INKlusive printer, we are paid in full for the

printer and the two years of supplies.  Consequently, the difference in timing between receipt of contract payment from the finance company and when the supplies are shipped gives rise to a deferred revenue liability on our balance sheet.  The Company amortizes this deferred revenue liability and recognizes revenue ratably over the contract term as the Company ships supplies to the customer.  At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the deferred revenue liability totaled $844,000 and $1,137,000, respectively.  The current and non-current components of the deferred revenue obligation are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.



The INKlusive program is a multi-element program.  The Company recognizes revenue under this program in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-21.  Under those provisions, revenue is recognized for the printer upon shipment to the customers, while revenue for the supplies and services associated with the program are recognized  equally over the contract term in proportion to product shipments.



Cost of Goods Sold Inventoried costs are recognized as cost of goods sold as revenues are recognized upon shipment of products sold.



Product WarrantyThe Company warranties its products suitability for use in the intended printer models and that its products are free of defects that could cause damage to these printers.  Costs covered under the product warranty include customary charges for the repair or replacement of the printer with an equivalent new or refurbished printer, at the Companys sole discretion.  The warranty does not cover damage to the product or a printer caused by accident, abuse, misuse, natural disaster, human error, unauthorized disassembly, repair, or modification.  The Company believes that its product warranty is relatively liberal, providing, in most cases, broader and more complete coverage than that provided by the original equipment printer manufacturer.  The Company accounts for the estimated warranty cost as a charge to product
warranty, a captioned component of cost of goods sold, when revenue is recognized.  The Companys estimated warranty liability is based on historic product performance and program  expense.  The Company updates its warranty program estimates, based on actual experience, every quarter.  The actual product performance and/or program expense profiles may differ, and in those cases the Company adjusts warranty accruals accordingly (see Note 7 Product Warranty Expenses).



Deferred Rent Liability Rent expense related to operating leases where scheduled rent increases exist is determined by expensing the total amount of rent due over the life of the operating lease on a straight-line basis.  The difference between the rent paid under the terms of the lease and the rent expensed on a straight-line basis is included in deferred rent liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.



Shipping and Freight Shipping and freight costs are included as a separate captioned component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income and represent out-bound costs incurred to ship goods to customers.  These amounts exclude in-bound shipping and freight expense associated with acquired raw materials and finished goods, which are included in cost of goods sold.  Reimbursements by customers of out-bound shipping and freight expense are included in net revenues.



Research and Development  Research and product development costs, which consist of salary and related benefits costs of our technical staff, as well as product development costs including research of existing patents, conceptual formulation, design and testing of product alternatives, and construction of prototypes, are expensed as incurred.  It also includes indirect costs, including facility costs based on the departments proportionate share of facility use.  For 2007 and 2006, our research and product development costs were $1,743,000 and $1,090,000, respectively.



Advertising Expense Advertising expenses are deferred until the first use of the advertising.  Deferred advertising costs at June 30, 2007 and 2006 totaled approximately $10,000 and $14,000, respectively.  Advertising expense for 2007 and 2006 amounted to approximately $1,006,000 and $1,008,000, respectively.

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):



Employee Benefit Plan We maintain a 401(k) savings/retirement plan for all eligible, as defined, employees.  The plan allows for employee contributions to be matched by the Company.  Our contributions for 2007 and 2006 were $39,000 and $42,000, respectively.



Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets, net of applicable valuation allowances, related to net operating loss carry-forwards and certain temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities related to certain temporary differences.  The Company recognizes a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is considered to be more likely than not.  Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied.



Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans Prior to July 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related Interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, a non-cash, stock-based compensation expense was recognized for any options issued where the grant date market price exceeded the option exercise price. The charge for such options equalled the number of option shares multiplied by the excess of the grant date market price over the exercise price.  Under APB Opinion No. 25, any such expense was amortized over the vesting period of the option.  Beginning July 1, 2006, the
Company has accounted for stock-based compensation using the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services.  Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employees requisite service period.  The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective application method as provided by SFAS No. 123(R).  Accordingly, during fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded stock-based compensation cost totaling the amount that would have been recognized had the fair value method under SFAS No. 123 been applied since the effective date of SFAS No. 123 for the pre-fiscal 2007 year grants and under SFAS No. 123(R) for the fiscal year 2007 grants.



Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn June 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reached a final consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities" (EITF 07-3).  EITF Issue No. 07-3, which is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008,  concludes that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities should be deferred and capitalized and that such amounts should be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed.  The adoption of EITF 07-3 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159), which is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008.  This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings.  We are currently determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of our eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS No. 159 may have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):



Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is a pervasive pronouncement that defines how the fair value of assets and liabilities should be measured in more than 40 other accounting standards where such measurements are allowed or required.  In addition to defining fair value, the statement establishes a framework within GAAP for measuring fair value and expands required disclosures surrounding fair value measurements.  While it will change the way companies currently measure fair value, it does not establish any new instances where fair-value measurement is required. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as an amount that a company would receive if it sold an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a normal transaction between market participants
in the same market where the company does business.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157.



In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.  SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements.   SAB 108 establishes a "dual approach" that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of the error on each of the Company's financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures.  SAB 108 is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2007.  The Company currently believes the adoption of SAB 108 will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.



In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.  FIN 48 will require the Company to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.  As used in this Interpretation, the termmore likely than notmeans a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the termsexaminedandupon examinationalso include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.  The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is to be determined based on the facts, circumstances, and
information available at the reporting date.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning July 1, 2007.  Any differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings.  In addition, the adoption of FIN 48 will result in the reclassification of certain unrecognized tax benefits from current to non-current liabilities in the Companys statement of financial position.  The Company has completed its initial evaluation of the impact of the July 1, 2007 adoption of FIN 48 and determined that such adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):



Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding as adjusted for the incremental shares attributable to the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, and other potentially dilutive securities.



The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share:

| | Long-term debt           | $323,965           



We have a revolving line of credit facility which provides for maximum borrowings of $3,000,000.  As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had no outstanding balance under this line.  In connection with the negotiation of this facility during 2004, we granted a security interest in all of our assets.  Borrowings through January 23, 2006 bore interest at a rate of 0.75% over the banks Prime Rate.  On January 23, 2006 we entered into an Amended and Restated Committed Line of Credit Note, and an Amendment to Loan Documents (collectively, the Loan Document Amendments).  The Loan Document Amendments reduced the interest rate by 0.75% to the banks Prime Rate, and extended the expiration date of the facility by one year to November 30, 2007.  The Loan Document Amendments also modified certain financial covenants.  Borrowings bear interest at the banks Prime Rate (8.25% at June 30, 2007) and are
payable on demand.

On March 17, 2006, we entered into a five-year term note with the bank in the amount of $250,000 that bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.75%, and requires monthly repayments of principal and interest of $5,054.  At June 30, 2007, this note had a remaining principal balance of $196,083.  The proceeds were used to finance the purchase of certain long-lived manufacturing property and equipment.  The note is cross collateralized and contains cross default provisions with the revolving line of credit facility.



In March 2005, we entered into a five-year term note with the bank in the amount of $500,000 that bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%, and requires monthly repayments of principal of $8,333.  At June 30, 2007, this note had a remaining principal balance of $275,000.  The proceeds were used to finance the leasehold improvements to our Oakland facility.  The note is cross collateralized and contains cross default provisions with the revolving line of credit.



Both the amended revolving line of credit and the five-year term notes with the bank are subject to amended financial covenants, including monitoring a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and EBITDA to fixed charge, as such terms are defined in the Loan Document Amendments.  At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.

|(a) | Includes the recognition of $117,625 of stock-based compensation expense ($74,104 after tax) associated with accelerated vesting of options granted to an employee covering 50,000 shares.  The Companys Board of Directors approved this acceleration of vesting associated with termination of the individuals employment with the Company.

|(b) | Stock-based compensation expense of $90,881 would have been recorded under the provisions of APB No. 25.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       



In the Companys pro forma disclosures prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for forfeitures upon occurrence.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (FSP 123R-3).  The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the FSP 123R-3 for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R).  The transition method provided by FSP 123(R)-3 has been adopted in the calculation of the initial pool of excess tax benefits and will be applied in determining the subsequent impact on our APIC pool and our consolidated statements of cash flows for the tax effects associated with employee stock-based compensation awards that were outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Effective July 1, 2006, $292,996 of deferred stock-based compensation, separately recorded as a reduction to stockholders equity, was reclassified as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).



As of July 1, 2006, the Company had an unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance of $409,872 after estimated forfeitures.  As of June 30, 2007, the unrecognized stock-based compensation balance was $801,552 after estimated forfeitures and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of about 2.6 years.



During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted 222,124 stock options with an estimated total grant-date fair value of $559,295 after estimated forfeitures.  During the same period, the Company granted 44,159 shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $234,706 after estimated forfeitures.

NOTE 4  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)



Pre-Adoption Pro-Forma Disclosure.The Companys pro forma disclosure for the year ended June 30, 2006, the year prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), determined as if the Company had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123, is as follows:

On May 9, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of certain non-executive stock option awards of 1,000 shares or less. Options to purchase 17,350 shares of common stock, or about 7% of the outstanding unvested options, were subject to the acceleration. The weighted average exercise price of the options that were accelerated was $2.55. Concurrent with this vesting acceleration, the Board of Directors also approved eliminating, effective July 1, 2006, the Companys prior policy of granting all new employees stock options covering 1,000 shares at an exercise price established at the close of trading on the employees first day of employment. Before the acceleration, these stock option awards would have vested at the employees first anniversary date. The purpose of these Board actions was to help simplify the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)) effective July 1, 2006. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) the Company will be required to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other stock-based compensation over the service period of the grant. The accelerated vesting had no effect on the Companys 2006 net income reported in the consolidated statement of operations. This action reduces the Companys future stock-based compensation expense by approximately $17,000. The effect of the acceleration is included in the 2006 stock-based compensation expense reflected in the pro-forma information above.



Valuation Assumptions.In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company reassessed its valuation technique and related assumptions.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107.  For the Companys prior period pro forma disclosures of net income, stock-based employee and director compensation was determined under a fair value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the straight-line attribution approach with the following weighted-average assumptions without regard to estimated forfeitures:



| |                                  | Year Ended June 30,
| | -------------------------------- | -------------------
| |                                  | 2007

NOTE 4  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)



SFAS No. 123(R) requires the use of option pricing models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.  In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the options expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.  The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined using the historic volatility of a peer group of technology-based manufacturing companies with similar attributes, including market capitalization, annual revenues, and debt leverage.  The Company placed limited reliance on the historic volatility of its common stock given the substantial reorganization of the Company in 2005.  In 2005, the Company discontinued
the electronic pre-press sales and service operations of its Cadapult Graphic Systems subsidiary.  Historically, these discontinued operations represented a significant portion of the Companys operations.  These discontinued operations were also materially different, in many respects, from the Companys present technology-based manufacturing business.  For these reasons, the Company determined that historic peer group volatility was more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility than its own historic volatility for years prior to 2005.



Given the Companys relatively limited experience as a public entity, the Company has for now adopted the simplified method suggested by the SEC in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 for determining the expected life of the options.  Under this method, the Company calculates the expected term of an option grant by averaging its vesting and contractual term.  The Company estimates its applicable risk-free rate based upon the yield of U.S. Treasury securities having maturities similar to the estimated term of an option grant, adjusted to reflect its continuously compounded zero-coupon equivalent.



Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company used a variety of methods to estimate its expected volatility, expected term and risk-free rate assumptions.



Equity Incentive Program.The Companys equity incentive program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain qualified management and technical employees, and align stockholder and employee interests.  The equity incentive program presently consists of two plans (the Plans): the Company's 1998 Incentive Stock Plan (the 1998 Plan) and the Companys 2006 Incentive Stock Plan (the 2006 Plan).  Under both Plans, non-employee directors, officers, key employees, consultants and all other employees may be granted options to purchase shares of our stock, restricted stock units and other types of equity awards.  The stock options (which may be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) entitle the holder to purchase shares of
the Companys common stock for up to ten years from the date of grant (five years for persons owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company) at a price not less than the fair market value (110% of fair market value for persons owning more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company) of the common stock on the date of grant.  In general, any employee, director, officer or exclusive agent of, or advisor or consultant to, the Company or a related entity, is eligible to participate in the Plan.  Vesting periods, if any, are determined by the Board of Directors.  The outstanding option grants vest over periods not exceeding five years.  The stock options are nontransferable, except upon death.



Under our equity incentive program, stock options generally have a vesting period of three to five years, are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of issuance and are not granted at prices less than the fair market value of our common stock at the grant date.  Restricted stock units may be granted with varying service-based vesting requirements.



Under the Companys 1998 Plan, 1,000,000 common shares are authorized for issuance through awards of options or other equity instruments.  As of June 30, 2007, 67,509 common shares remain available for future issuance under the 1998 Plan.  Under the Companys 2006 Plan, 1,000,000 common shares are authorized for issuance through awards of options or other equity instruments.  As of June 30, 2007, no common shares had been issued under the 2006 Plan.

NOTE 4  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)



Non-Plan Options.During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company granted each of five employees five-year stock options to purchase up to 25,000 shares, which vested on April 6, 2004 and are exercisable at $0.50 per share.  In 2005, two of these employees exercised 25,000 options each for net proceeds to the Company of $25,000 and one employee executed a cashless exercise of 25,000 options, for which the Company received 6,250 shares of common stock with a fair value of $12,500, and no cash proceeds.  During 2006, one employee exercised 25,000 options for net proceeds to the Company of $12,500.



During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer five-year stock options to purchase up to 500,000 shares that are exercisable at $1.00 per share and expire in June 2008.  Options to purchase 250,000 shares vested immediately and options to purchase an additional 250,000 shares vested ratably over the period from July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2005.  Through the year ended June 30, 2007, options covering 150,000 shares were exercised for net proceeds to the Company of $150,000.



During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company granted each of two employees ten-year stock options to purchase up to 100,000 shares, which are exercisable at $1.06 per share.  Options to purchase 50,000 shares each vested immediately and options to purchase an additional 50,000 shares each vested ratably over the period from May 24, 2004 through May 23, 2006.  During 2005, one employee executed a cashless exercise of 50,000 options for which the Company received 25,090 shares of common stock with a fair value of $53,000, and the company received no cash proceeds.  50,000 options for that same employee were cancelled upon the termination of his employment.



During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company granted an employee ten-year stock options to purchase up to 100,000 shares, which are exercisable at $1.60 per share and expire in June 2015.  The options vest ratably, on an annual basis, over the period from June 6, 2005 through June 5, 2010.  On September 29, 2006, options covering  15,000 shares were exercised for net proceeds to the Company of  $24,000.

Options to purchase the remaining 50,000 shares were originally scheduled to vest fully upon relocation.  The option grant was modified by an agreement dated March 31, 2006 between the Company and the employee.  As modified, stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock became fully vested as of April 2006, and the other stock options were forfeited.

NOTE 4  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)



Restricted Stock Units.During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors approved the grant of  34,159 shares of restricted stock units to selected employees and 10,000 shares to a non-employee.  These restricted stock units generally vest in equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.  The value of the restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the date of award.  The total grant date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the year ended June 30, 2007 was $234,706 after estimated forfeitures.  Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock units for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $67,153.



As of June 30, 2007, there was $373,713 of total unrecognized deferred stock-based compensation after estimated forfeitures related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the Plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of 2.2 years.



During 2006, the Company granted 80,000 shares of restricted stock to members of the Companys senior management, concurrent with their start of employment.  For substantially all restricted stock grants, at the date of grant, the recipient has all rights of a stockholder, subject to certain restrictions on transferability and a risk of forfeiture.  These restricted stock grants generally vest in equal installments over three to five years from the date of grant.  The Company recorded the $314,300 value of these restricted stock grants as a component of stockholders equity and will amortize that amount to compensation expense over the service period.  The value of the restricted stock awards was based on the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the date of award.  Amortization expense for these awards for 2006 was $21,304. $11,400 was included in selling,
general and administrative expense.  The remaining $9,900 was included in research and development expense.  These restricted stock units were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share utilizing the treasury stock method.

All restricted stock grants are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.



The following table summarizes the Companys restricted stock unit activity for the indicated periods:

The warrants were valued at $43,400 and expire in June 2007.  In May 2005, 12,500 warrants were exercised for net proceeds to the Company of $12,500.  In 2006, 50,000 warrants were exercised for net proceeds to the Company of $50,000.  In May 2007, 25,000 warrants were exercised for net proceeds to the Company of $25,000.



The Company had no remaining outstanding warrants at June 30, 2007.



Common Stock.At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on December 14, 2006, our stockholders approved a proposal to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 shares to 25,000,000 shares by amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation.  On June 27, 2007, we filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the approved increase in our authorized capital.



Treasury Stock.On February 7, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to cancel 54,577 shares of treasury stock.  This action had no impact on total shareholders equity.  The treasury stock was cancelled and returned to unissued status.



Preferred Stock.The Companys Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.  The Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series and to establish and designate any such series and to fix the number of shares and the relative conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation.  In December 1999, the Board authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  No preferred shares were outstanding at June 30, 2007 or 2006.





NOTE 6  COMMITMENTS, LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES:



Litigation On June 23, 2006, Xerox Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court, for the  Southern District of New York, Case No. 06CV4872, against Media Sciences International, Inc. and Media Sciences, Inc., alleging that the Companys solid inks designed for use in the Xerox Phaser 8500 and 8550 printers infringe four Xerox-held patents related to the shape of the ink sticks in combination with the Xerox ink stick feed assembly.  The suit seeks unspecified damages and fees.  In the Companys answer and counterclaims in this action, it denied infringement and it seeks a finding of invalidity of the Xerox patents in question.  The Company also submitted counterclaims against Xerox for breach of contract and violation of  the antitrust laws, seeking treble damages and recovery of legal fees.  On
September 14, 2007, the court denied Xeroxs motion to dismiss the antitrust counterclaims brought by the Company.  Pre-trial discovery is presently scheduled to be completed in September 2007,  and we expect the case may be tried in the summer or fall of 2008.  The loss of all or a part of this lawsuit could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and financial position.  The Company believes that its inks do not infringe any valid U.S. patents and intends to vigorously defend these allegations of infringement.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in its defense of this action.

NOTE 6  COMMITMENTS, LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED):



In May 2005, the Company filed suit in New Jersey state court against our former insurance broker for insurance malpractice.  The suit contends that the insurance broker was negligent and breached its duty of care in connection with the procurement of successive umbrella insurance policies.  The suit asserts four causes of action for negligent procurement, failure to procure required coverage, breach of the standard of care, and failure to advise.  The suit seeks recovery of the balance of unrecouped losses for third party damages that should have been covered under the Companys umbrella insurance coverage, but for the aforementioned negligence and breaches of duty by the insurance broker.



Proceeds of this suit, if any, will be recorded in the period when received.  In June 2007, certain core matters before the Superior Court of New Jersey were heard and summary judgment was rendered.  One of the key rulings in the case was not in our favor.  This unfavorable ruling is in the process of being appealed to the Appellate Division and is expected to be heard sometime in early calendar 2008.  Our counsel on the matter has agreed to prosecute the entire appeal on a pure contingency basis.



Other than the above, as at June 30, 2007, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.



Leases We lease our premises under operating lease agreements which expire through 2011 and equipment under operating leases that expire through 2013.



On July 27, 2005, we entered into an equipment lease line of credit with our bank.  The bank holds title to the equipment leased under the facility.  In December 2005, we entered into an operating lease under this line, that requires monthly payments of $3,453, for 72 months.  In September 2006, the Company entered into an additional operating lease under this facility, that requires monthly payments of $10,621, for 72 months.



Future minimum lease payments are as follows:

|Total future minimum lease payments |  | $2,558,795  | 909,842  | 1,648,953 



Rent expense was $401,435 net of $232,300 of sublease rents for the year ended June 30, 2007 and $360,396 net of $220,093 of sublease rents for the year ended June 30, 2006.



Employment Agreement On July 1, 2003, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer for a base salary of $200,000 per annum, subject to certain adjustments.  Effective July 1, 2007, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the Chief Executive Officers base salary to $250,000.

NOTE 7  PRODUCT WARRANTY EXPENSES:



The Company provides a warranty for all of its consumable supply products and for its INKlusive printer program.  The Companys warranty stipulates that it will pay reasonable and customary charges for the repair of a printer needing service as a result of using the Companys products.  The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.  Factors that may affect the warranty include the number of units shipped to customers, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim.  The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary.  These expenses are classified as a component of costs of goods sold.



Changes in accrued product warranty for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

|ITEM 8. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



On February 16, 2007, the Company dismissed J.H. Cohn LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of that date. This action was approved by the Companys Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.



J.H. Cohn LLPs reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.



During the Companys two most recently completed fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there were no disagreements with J.H. Cohn LLP, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of J.H. Cohn LLP, would have caused J.H. Cohn LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the financial statements for such years.



During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and in the subsequent interim periods preceding the dismissal of J.H. Cohn LLP, the Company did not have any reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B, except for the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in this paragraph. In connection with its review of the Companys financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, J.H. Cohn LLP brought to the Companys attention that certain issued and outstanding options that permitted cashless exercise were subject to variable plan accounting treatment under the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Interpretation 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 (Issue Date 3/00). Accordingly, certain previously unrecognized compensation
expense should have been recognized as compensation expense in certain of the financial statements previously issued by the Company. After reviewing the matter with J.H. Cohn LLP and with Wiss & Company LLP, the Companys previous independent registered public accounting firm, the Company identified certain non-cash adjustments that necessitated the restatement of its financial statements for each of the first two quarters in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and for the quarters within the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Consequently, J.H. Cohn LLP also advised the Audit Committee and management of certain material weaknesses, including the inability to prepare financial statements and notes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and SEC rules, and improper accounting procedures for grants with cashless exercise provisions per Financial Accounting Standards Boards Interpretation 44,
Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation  an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25". J.H. Cohn LLP indicated that they considered these deficiencies to be material weaknesses as that term is defined under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). On May 10, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company rescinded the cashless exercise provision for all of the Companys outstanding option grants. Thus, variable accounting relating to the cashless exercise feature was no longer required after the Companys fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.



The Company completed its restatement of the affected financial statements in 2005. Commencing in the fourth quarter of the Companys 2005 fiscal year, the Company began undertaking a review of the Companys disclosure, financial information and internal controls and procedures. This review included increased diligence by the Companys management and directors, as well as the use of additional outside resources. Further, the Company accelerated its timetable to hire a Chief Financial Officer and initiated the search process. In March 2006, the Company hired a Chief Financial Officer, with substantial Sarbanes-Oxley compliance experience. With the hiring of its Chief Financial Officer, the Company has been developing a detailed plan to address compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

##### Back to Index



For our Chief Executive Officer, the potential cash bonus was $200,000, of which 20% was based on individualized performance goals (Individual Performance Bonus), and 80% determined wholly upon attaining earnings per share criteria determined by the Board (EPS Bonus).  For the other Named Executives Officers, the potential cash bonus was 20-40% of their base salary, of which 50% was based on the Individual Performance Bonus criteria, and 50% on the EPS Bonus.



The following table summarizes the payout structure under the fiscal year 2007 bonus structure. The EPS Bonus was to be earned if our Companys earnings per share equaled or exceeded a minimum level established by the Compensation Committee. The EPS Bonus range set forth in the table assumed the achievement of the minimum targeted level and up to 100% of the targeted goal.  If the minimum level was not achieved, no EPS Bonus was earned.  If the minimum level is achieved or exceeded, the amount of the EPS Bonus was based upon the level of earnings per share achieved by the Company.  If the maximum targeted goal was exceeded, the EPS Bonus payable could exceed the EPS Bonus potential set forth in the table below.  Factors in determining the Individual Performance Bonus includes matters such as achieving specified leadership initiatives, and the achievement of certain strategic and business goals including,
but not limited to, customer growth, new product development, information technology upgrades, manufacturing efficiencies and corporate compliance goals.

Incentive Stock Plans



Our equity incentive program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain qualified management and technical employees, and align stockholder and employee interests.  The equity incentive program presently consists of two plans: the Company's 1998 Incentive Stock Plan and the Companys 2006 Incentive Stock Plan.  Under both plans, non-employee directors, officers, key employees, consultants and all other employees may be granted options to purchase shares of our stock, restricted stock units and other types of equity awards.  Both plans provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.  As of June 30, 2007,we had outstanding under the 1998 plan, subject to vesting, stock options to purchase 628,694 shares of common stock, exercisable for up to ten years at prices of $0.43 to $6.33 per share, and 104,159 shares issuable pursuant to restricted
stock awards.  Since the effective date of the 1998 plan, 303,797 shares have been issued, including 124,159 shares as stock grants and 179,638 shares through exercise of options.  As of June 30, 2007,67,509shares of the Companys common stock were available for grant under the 1998 plan. As of June 30, 2007, no shares had been issued under the 2006 Plan.



Employee Profit Sharing Plan



We have a tax-qualified employee paired profit sharing plan sponsored by DWS Scudder Deutsche Bank Group. This 401(k) plan covers all of our employees that have been employed for at least six months and meet other age and eligibility requirements. Under the 401(k) plan, employees may choose to reduce their current compensation by up to 15% each year and have that amount contributed to the 401(k) plan. We make matching contributions equal to 25% of the employees contribution. In our discretion, we may contribute unmatched contributions. The 401(k) plan qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, so that we can deduct contributions by employees or by us. Employee contributions to the 401(k) plan are fully vested at all times, and our contributions, if any, vest at the rate of 25% after two years and after two years at the rate of 25% a year until fully vested.  The companys
contributions to the plan were $39,000 in 2007 and $41,500 in 2006.



Director Compensation



We have a compensation plan for our independent directors.  In fiscal 2007, eligible outside directors were paid $15,000 per year, payable quarterly, for attendance at regular and special meetings and may be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and for other expenses incurred in their capacity as directors of Media Sciences.  Through fiscal 2007, outside directors are granted five or ten year stock options under our incentive stock plan to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock on the date of appointment to the Board, and additional stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock each year thereafter.   In fiscal 2008, we intend to pay eligible outside directors $15,000 in cash and grant them stock options valued at $25,000.  Chairpersons of the following committees are also paid an additional fee for
their committee service: Audit $1,500; Compensation $1,000; and Governance $500.

The policy provides for pre-approval by the Audit Committee of specifically defined audit and non-audit services.  Unless the specific service has been pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to perform it.  All services performed in our fiscal year 2007 were pre-approved.
