NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION



Nature of Business.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.



Basis of presentation.The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.  You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007, filed with the SEC on September 24, 2007.  The June 30, 2007 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Media Sciences International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending June 30, 2008.



As of September 30, 2007, there have been no significant changes to any of the Companys accounting policies as set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007.



Reclassifications.Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders equity.



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, and certain accrued expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)



Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

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 requires 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 was adopted by the Company beginning July 1, 2007.



As a result of adopting FIN 48, the Company recognized a net $31,814 increase in its liability for uncertain tax positions ($53,658 of uncertain other tax obligations net of  a $21,844  deferred tax asset reflected as a reduction of non-current deferred tax liabilities).  The $31,814 difference between the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption is accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings.



The adoption of FIN48 resulted in the reclassification of the deferred tax assets associated with the Company's uncertain tax positions.  Prior to adoption, such deferred tax assets were netted against the liability for the uncertain tax positions.  As a result of the adoption, $117,304 of deferred tax assets were reclassified from the uncertain tax position liability to non-current deferred tax liabilities.  In addition, the Company previously reflected the liability for uncertain tax positions in taxes payable.  As a result of the adoption, the liability for uncertain tax positions is separately stated from taxes payable as either a current or non-current liability.  As of July, 1 2007, the total liability of $760,260 (as adjusted for the afore-mentioned deferred tax asset reclassification) was reclassified from current (taxes payable) to non-current (other tax obligations).



As of October 1, 2007, the Company had $628,475 of net, unrecognized tax benefits associated with its uncertain tax positions, of which the entire amount could ultimately reduce the Companys effective tax rate.  During the twelve months beginning October 1, 2007, the Company does not expect to reduce its liability for its uncertain tax positions as a result of settlements reached with certain state tax authorities and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.  The Company is not currently under audit in any of the jurisdictions in which it conducts operations.  Generally, all tax years prior to June 30, 2003 are closed under statute.



It is the Companys continuing policy to account for interest and penalties associated with all of its income tax obligations as a component of income tax expense.  The Company recognized approximately $7,000 (net of tax effect) of interest and no penalties as part of the provision for income taxes in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements during the three months ended September 30, 2007.



In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 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 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.  It emphasizes that the value is based on
assumptions that market participants would use, not necessarily only the company that might buy or sell the asset. SFAS 157 takes effect for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for us is our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157.

NOTE 1  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)



In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 159). SFAS 159 permits all entities the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.   If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, then it will report unrealized gains and losses on those items at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company is our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008.   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
159 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the negotiation of this facility during 2004, the Company granted a security interest in all of its assets.  Borrowings through January 23, 2006 bore interest at a rate of 0.75% over the banks Prime Rate.  On January 23, 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Committed Line of Credit Note, and an Amendment to Loan Documents (collectively, the Amendments).  The 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.  These amendments also modified certain financial covenants.  On September 28, 2007, we entered into another amendment to the loan documents, which amended
the EBITDA to fixed charge financial covenant and extended the expiration date for the credit facility to February 29, 2008.  Borrowings bear interest at the banks Prime Rate (7.75% at September 30, 2007) and are payable on demand.



On March 17, 2006, the Company 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 September 30, 2007, this note had a remaining principal balance of $184,730.  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, the Company 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 September 30, 2007, this note had a remaining principal balance of $250,000.  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 are defined in the Loan Document Amendments.  At September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.

NOTE 4  EARNINGS PER SHARE



Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as adjusted for the incremental shares attributable to outstanding options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase common stock.



The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

NOTE 5  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION



The Company elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) effective as of July 1, 2006 by using the modified prospective application method.  Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized for the three  months ended September 30, 2007 includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of June 30, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or subsequent to July 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).  Previously reported amounts have not been restated.



The effect of recording stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

As of July 1, 2006, the Company had an unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance of $409,872 after estimated forfeitures.  In connection with 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.



During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company granted 17,500 stock options with an estimated total grant-date fair value of $32,704 after estimated forfeitures.



As of September 30, 2007, the unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance was $749,801 after estimated forfeitures and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of about 2.7 years.

NOTE 5  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)



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:



| |                                  | Three Months Ended
September 30, | 
| | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | 
| |                                  | 2007                             | 
| |                                  |                                  | 
| | Risk-free interest rate          | 4.5%                             | 
| | Dividend yield                   | 0.0%                             | 
| | Expected stock price volatility  | 55%                              | 
| | Average expected life of options | 4.5 years                        | 



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 SAB 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 its 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.  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 September 30, 2007, 51,009 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 September 30, 2007, no common shares had been issued under the 2006 Plan.



The following table summarizes the combined stock option plan and non-plan activity for the indicated periods:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options, as determined under SFAS No. 123(R), granted during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2.74 and $2.73 per share, respectively.



The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $314,496 and $226,550, respectively.  The total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $69,036 and $106,500, respectively.  In connection with these exercises, the tax benefits realized by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $125,058 and $83,824, respectively.



The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares.



Restricted Stock Units



During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors did not approve any additional grants of restricted stock units.  Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock units for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $53,840.



As of September 30, 2007, there was $319,873 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 2.0 years.

NOTE 6  ACCRUED PRODUCT WARRANTY COSTS



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 liability and expense 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 separately captioned item in cost of goods sold.



Changes in accrued product warranty costs for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

NOTE 7  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 the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, our research and product development costs were $497,366 and $419,876, respectively.



NOTE 8  ADVERTISING EXPENSES



Advertising expenses are deferred until the first use of the advertising.  Deferred advertising costs at September 30, 2007 and 2006 totaled $0 and $5,333, respectively.  Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $191,228 and $270,585, respectively.



NOTE 9  LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES



On June 23, 2006, Xerox Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court, 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. The suit seeks unspecified damages and fees.  The Company believes that its inks do not infringe any valid U.S. patents and intends to vigorously defend these allegations of infringement. The loss of all or a part of this lawsuit could have a material adverse affect on our operations and financial position.  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, violation of antitrust laws, unfair competition and trade libel, seeking treble damages and recovery of legal fees.  Pre-trial discovery in the patent infringement action has been completed.  In September, the Court denied Xeroxs motion to dismiss the Companys antitrust counterclaim, and allowed the Company to amend that counterclaim.  This ruling allows the antitrust counterclaims to be heard with the patent infringement claims, with which they are intertwined.  Xerox has agreed to dismiss Media Sciences International, Inc. as a defendant and has agreed to drop its claim for willful infringement.  It is expected that this case will not be tried before the fall of 2008.



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 September 30, 2007, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY



Media Sciences International, Inc. is the leading independent manufacturer of color toner cartridges and solid ink sticks for business color printers.  Our products are distributed through an international network of dealers and distributors.  We also sell directly to end users located in the United States through programs designed to foster our supplies business, such as our INKlusive free color printer program.



Record Net Revenues.For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we generated record net revenues of $6,431,000 exceeding our previous record of $6,078,000 set in our fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2006.  Our 14% year-over-year and 17% sequential net revenue growth was driven by greater order activity from existing customers as well as a number of new customers.  For the first time in our corporate history, quarterly revenues from our toner-based products exceeded those of our solid ink products.



From a portfolio perspective, we benefitted from the launch of a number of new toner-based products during the most recent quarters.  In particular, 22% of our toner-based product sales during the quarter were generated from a recently launched toner product line.  These and several other relatively new toner-based products have been very well received by the market.  As a result, demand for them greatly exceeded our initial forecasts and, accordingly, our ability to supply enough to satisfy all customer orders.  Thus, we ended the quarter with $374,000 of

backorders, as compared with $140,000 at the end of June 30, 2007.   In response to the strong demand for these products, we increased production through our network of Asian contract manufacturers and expedited shipments of these products via air freight versus more economical, but substantially slower ocean freight.



Gross Margins.For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, our gross margins were 46% as compared with 55% for the same period last year.  The 900 basis point decrease in our margins was primarily driven by the following factors: (1) sales mix; (2) the cost of expedited inbound freight; and (3) charges in excess of expected reimbursements from vendors for defective products.  Each of these is described below in more detail.



Sales Mix Our greater mix of toner-based versus solid ink product sales in the most recent quarter accounted for about 500 basis points of the year-over-year margin decline.  On a portfolio basis, our toner-based products typically have lower margins than our solid ink products.  While we remain dependent on contract manufacturing partners for our toner-based products, it is unlikely that we will see any meaningful expansion of our toner margins.  However, in phase II of our offshore plan, when we will be increasingly independent of our contract manufacturing partners, we estimate a potential improvement in our toner-based margins of between 700 and 1,200 basis points.  We anticipate achieving these economies in phase II of our offshore plan by 2009 to 2010.



Expedited Inbound Freight The cost of expediting toner-based product through our Asian supply chain accounted for about $221,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, adversely impacting our margins by about 300 basis points.  Historically, we have expedited the delivery of products associated with new product launches and thereafter, replenished stock levels through less expensive means.  The recent change in our sales leadership is driving fundamental changes in product mix, and the demand for our products.  As we respond to the higher levels of demand for certain of our products through better forecasting and planning, we strive to reduce the proportion of goods requiring expedited delivery.



Defective Product Charges Charges associated with toner-based
products that did not pass our strict quality assurance standards, totaled about $96,000
for the quarter, adversely impacting margins by about 100 basis points. These charges
reflect product costs, including inbound freight net of expected vendor reimbursements. We
are working with our contract manufacturers to ensure that our products are consistently
made to our specifications and on improving their quality assurance processes to quickly
identify and remedy deviations. We expect to mitigate our exposure to such costs in 2008,
when we will be performing quality assurance locally in Asia, under phase I of our
offshore plan. Longer-term, in 2009 and 2010, in phase II of our offshore plan, we will
take greater control of the entire toner-based manufacturing process; from engineering
through component procurement and assembly.



Litigation Update.During the quarter, litigation costs totaled $241,000 (about $139,000 after tax or about $0.01 per share) as compared to $136,000 (about $92,000 after tax or about $0.01 per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  Pretrial discovery in the Xerox patent infringement case was completed in September.  In September, the Court denied Xeroxs motion to dismiss the Companys antitrust counterclaim, and allowed the Company to amend that counterclaim.  This ruling allows the antitrust counterclaims to be heard with the patent infringement claims, with which they are intertwined.  Xerox has agreed to dismiss Media Sciences International, Inc. as a defendant and has agreed to drop its claim for willful infringement.  It is expected that this case will not be tried before the fall of 2008.  For more information regarding our litigation, see Note
9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.



Business Start-up Costs.During the quarter, the costs of implementing our offshore plan to commence toner-based manufacturing operations in China, totaled $155,000 (about $89,000 after tax or about $0.01 per share).  During the quarter, we identified a number of prospective areas in south China to locate our Asian toner-based product manufacturing facilities and hired two key management personnel.  We expect to execute a facility lease in south China sometime during our fiscal second quarter.



Stock-Based Compensation.Our non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 totaled $82,000 (about $53,000 after tax or about $0.00 per share).   This compares with $146,000 (about $96,000 after tax or about $0.01 per share) of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the year ago quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Net revenues, cost of goods sold, gross profit, gross margin, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), 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 earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization (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.Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year, increased by $0.8 million, or 14% to a record $6.4 million, from $5.6 million.  For the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, sales of color toner cartridges increased by about 82%, while sales of solid ink sticks decreased approximately 20%.  The year-over-year decline in solid
ink revenues is attributed to a combination of factors including overall attrition in the
installed base population of color solid ink printers, increased market competition, and
timing of customer orders.



From a portfolio perspective, we benefitted from the launch of a number of new toner-based products during the most recent quarters.  On March 26, 2007, we announced the launch of two new products; 100% newly designed and manufactured toner cartridges for use in Dell 5100cn and Xerox 6300/6350 color business printers and solid inks for use in Xerox Phaser 8560/8560 MFP color business printers.  We began shipping both of these products in late March.



On May 30, 2007, we announced the launch of three new products; 100% newly designed and manufactured toner cartridges for use in Samsung CLP-500/510/550, Xerox Phaser 6100/6360 and Dell 5110cn, and Ricoh Aficio CL-2000/3000/3500 business color printers.  We began shipping the toner cartridges for use in most of these products in June and July 2007.



As referenced in the executive summary, several of these relatively new toner-based products have been very well received by the market.  As a result, demand for them greatly exceeded our initial forecasts and, accordingly, our ability to supply enough to satisfy all customer orders.  In response to the strong demand for these products, we increased production through our network of Asian contract manufacturers and expedited shipments of these products.  Despite these efforts, we ended the quarter with $370,000 of backorders, as compared with $140,000 at the end of June 30, 2007.

Overall, our net revenues are generally affected by recurring sales of our growing portfolio of color business printer supply products.  To a lesser extent, some of the noted growth is also attributed to the general growth and increased market acceptance of color business printers and an increase in market share for some of our existing products.



Gross Profit.The consolidated gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year, decreased by $0.17 million or 5% to $2.95 million from $3.11 million.  For the three months ended September 30, 2007 our gross margin was 46% of net revenues as compared with 55% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  As described in detail in the executive summary, this 900 basis point decrease in margin is primarily attributed to (1) our sales mix; (2) the cost of expedited inbound freight; and (3) charges in excess of expected reimbursements from vendors for defective products.



Our margins reflect a portfolio of products.  Generally solid ink products generate greater margins than do toner-based products.  While margins within the solid ink product line are very consistent, margins within the toner-based product line vary quite significantly.  As a result, our margins can vary materially not only as a function of the solid ink to toner sales mix, but of the sales mix within the toner-based product line itself.  For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the impact of the change in our sales mix of products resulted in a 500 basis point year over year change in our margins.  We expect to see changes in our margins, both favorable and unfavorable, as a result of continued changes in our sales mix.



Our China based manufacturing operations will provide us with the potential to improve our toner-based product margins by 700 to 1,100 basis points, however we do not anticipate achieving these economies until 2009 to 2010, during the second phase of the project.



We have historically expedited (through air versus sea shipment) the inbound shipment of newly introduced products and those where we experience backorders.  As noted in the executive summary, during our fiscal first quarter, we experience a relatively high level of both.  Our philosophy of expediting new product introductions and backordered items is based on our recognition that our printer consumable products have well established and readily available competition from the printer manufacturers and that, in the absence of the choice we offer, will be satisfied by those competitive products.  While we plan to continue to expedite delivery of newly introduced products, we expect to improve our forecasting through newly acquired technology, thereby minimizing these significant shipping costs.



Our 46% gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was approximately 200 basis points lower than the 48% gross margin we realized in the prior fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007.  The sequential decline in our gross margin resulted primarily from costs of expedited inbound freight and charges in excess of expected reimbursements from vendors for defective products that we incurred during the most recent quarter.  Due to the progressive growth in the weight of our toner versus solid ink product mix, sales mix was a less significant contributor in the noted decline in our margins over the prior quarter.



Research and Development.Research and development spending for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year, increased by $0.08 million or 18% to $0.50 million from $0.42 million.  The $0.50 million of research and development spending for the most recent quarter includes $0.01 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.  As compared with the prior quarter, our research and development spending for the three months ended September 30, 2007, increased by $0.01 million, or 3% to $0.50 million from $0.49 million.



This increase was driven by our initiatives to increase our product breadth through the development and launch of new products.  The increase in our research and development spending was primarily focused on new toner-based products as we accelerated the pace of new product development.  Looking forward, we expect our research and development spending to represent a similar to slightly declining proportion of our net revenues.



Selling, General and Administrative.Selling, general and administrative expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year, increased by $0.86 million or 47% to $2.69 million from $1.84 million.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily driven by greater year-over-year compensation and benefits costs and increased professional fee spending, including litigation costs.  Compensation and benefit costs, including sales commissions, increased by about $0.63 million over the same period last year.  This increase was primarily driven by the hiring of additional

sales and marketing personnel and, to a lesser extent, some operations personnel.  The increase was also driven by about $0.16 million of costs associated with the start-up of our toner-based manufacturing operations in China.  Most of the increase in professional fees was attributed to legal fees associated with the Xerox litigation and a lawsuit we have pending against our former insurance broker; for the quarter these costs totaled about $.24 million.  For the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period last year, our total legal fees, including those associated with litigation, increased by $0.15 million or 96% to $0.31 million from $0.16 million.



As compared with the prior quarter, selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007, decreased by $0.11 million, or 4% to $2.69 million from $2.81 million. This decrease was primarily driven by lower litigation and advertising costs, partially offset by greater compensation, commissions and benefits costs and greater travel and entertainment and professional fee costs.  Legal fees associated with our pending Xerox and former insurance broker litigations decreased by $0.28 million or 54%, to $0.24 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $0.53 million in the prior fiscal quarter.



Selling, general and administrative expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes $0.07 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.  This compares with $0.02 million of stock-based compensation expense in the year ago quarter ended September 30, 2006.  Most of the year-over-year increase is attributed to executive compensation associated with our China based manufacturing operations and our newly reorganized sales and marketing operations.



Depreciation and Amortization.Non-manufacturing depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year, increased by $0.022 million to $0.089 million from $0.067 million.  The increase reflects asset additions we made over the year.



Interest Income (Expense), net.For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had net interest income of $0.008 million; unchanged from the year ago quarter ended September 30, 2006.



Income Taxes.For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.138 million as compared with income tax expense of $0.253 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, our effective tax rates were 42.5% and 31.8%, respectively.  Our effective blended 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.



Net Income (Loss).For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we lost $0.19 million or $0.02 per share basic and diluted.  This compares with the $0.54 million or $0.05 per share basic and diluted earned for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



During the three months ended September 30, 2007, our cash and equivalents decreased by $0.81 million to $1.00 million.  $0.75 million of this decrease was used in operating activities; $0.03 million was provided by financing activities, namely proceeds received from employees associated with option exercises, partially offset by $0.10 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 $0.10 million, representing a decrease of $0.07 million or 41% from the comparable spend of $0.17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.



We used $0.75 million of cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with a positive cash flow of $1.37 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The $0.75 million of cash used by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2007 resulted from $0.19 million of loss from operations, non-cash charges totaling $0.07 million and $0.63 million of cash used primarily to increase our non-cash working capital (current assets less cash and cash equivalents net of current liabilities).  The most significant drivers behind the $.63 million decrease in our non-cash working capital were a $0.96 million increase in our accounts receivable, due to strong sales activity in September, a $0.33 million net change in taxes receivable and income taxes payable, a $0.15 million increase in accounts payable, and a $0.17 million
increase in our inventories.



During the three months ended September 30, 2007, our inventory levels increased by $0.17 million or 3% to $5.95 million from $5.80 million.  The increase in inventories was generally due to 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.



Our INKlusive program generates operating cash flow in advance of the income statement recognition associated with printer consumables being shipped and revenues being recognized over the two year term of our typical INKlusive supply agreement.  This advanced funding of the INKlusive contract consideration by a third-party leasing company results in up-front cash receipts and corresponding deferred revenue obligations.  As of September 30, 2007, deferred revenue associated with the program totaled $0.86 million, an increase of $0.02 million from the $0.84 million at June 30, 2007.  The operating cash flow effect of this increase in a current liability was a corresponding increase in cash flow generated by operations.  The 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.



We have a revolving line of credit facility which provides for maximum borrowings of $3.0 million.  As of September 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.  On September 28, 2007 we entered into another amendment to the loan documents, which amended the EBITDA to fixed charge financial covenant and extended the expiration date for the credit facility to February 29, 2008.  These amendments also modified certain financial
covenants.  Borrowings bear interest at the banks Prime Rate (7.75% at September 30, 2007) and are payable on demand.



In March 2006, we entered into a five-year term note with the bank in the amount of $0.25 million that bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.75%, and requires monthly repayments of principal and interest of $5,054.  At September 30, 2007, this note had a remaining principal balance of $0.19 million.  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 $0.50 million 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 $0.25 million.  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.  These amended financial covenants include monitoring a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and EBITDA to fixed charge, as such terms are defined in the amended loan agreements.  At September 30, 2007 and 2006 and June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all of its financial covenants.



Over the next twelve months, our operations may require additional funds and we 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.





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.





MARKET RISK



We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity price inflation.  Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange, commodity price inflation and interest rates.   We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures as the net impact of these exposures has historically been insignificant.  We had no forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2007.   In the future we may hedge these exposures based on our assessment of their significance.



Foreign Currency Exchange Risk



A large portion of our business is conducted in countries other than the U.S. We are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates for the euro, the British pound, the Japanese yen, and the Chinese yuan.  At September 30, 2007, all of our receivables were invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars.  Commencing in our fiscal second quarter, we will have exposure to currency exchange risk from Euro and British pound-denominated sales.  For these transactions we expect to be a net receiver of the foreign currency and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar.



Today, a significant portion of our toner-based products are purchased in U.S. dollars from Asian vendors and contract manufacturers.  Although such transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, over time, we are adversely affected by a weaker U.S. dollar, in the form of price increases, and, conversely, benefit from a stronger U.S. dollar.   A majority of operating expenses associated with the start-up of our Asian manufacturing operations are also settled in non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies, in particular the Chinese Yuan.  In these transactions, we benefit from a stronger U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a weaker U.S. dollar.  Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of the U.S. dollar, may adversely affect our consolidated operating expenses and operating margins which are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Commodity Price Inflation Risk



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 twelve months.  While we have historically offset a significant portion of this inflation in operating costs through increased productivity and improved yield, recent increases have impacted profit margins.  We are pursuing efforts to improve our procurement of raw materials.  We can provide no assurance that our efforts to mitigate increases in raw materials and shipping and freight costs will be successful.
