For the three months ended February 28, 2009, net revenue increased 24% to $8.8 million compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended February 28, 2008.

Gross profit was $3.2 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2009, an increase of 26% compared to $2.6 million reported in the third fiscal quarter of 2008.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2009, net revenue increased 69% to $27.4 million, compared to $16.2 million reported in the comparable period of 2008.
