Net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $249,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $458,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $526,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $1.1 million, or $0.07 and $0.06 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the same period in 2007.

Gil Allon, Chief Executive Officer of OIS, stated, “While we are disappointed with our second quarter results in a difficult economic environment, we are taking necessary steps to return the Company to profitable growth. In order to achieve this goal, we are executing on several strategic initiatives, including new digital imaging product launches, development of a proprietary Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management (PM) solution and broadening our target markets beyond ophthalmology. We formed Abraxas Medical Solutions in January of 2008 to aggressively compete in the $5 billion ambulatory care EMR and PM market. Further, we believe our dominant position in the digital imaging market for ophthalmology will serve us well as we leverage this base with our own informatics solution. Abraxas is on schedule to begin marketing its proprietary EMR and PM solution to the OB/GYN, Orthopedic and Primary Care markets by the end of the third quarter, and to the Ophthalmology market by the end of 2008,” continued Mr. Allon.
