For the three months ended September 30, 2009, OIS reported a net revenue increase of 24% to $3.9 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2008.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, OIS reported net revenues of $9.2 million, compared with net revenues of $9.5 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in revenues is due to a decrease of product sales of approximately $617,000, which was partially offset by an increase in service revenue of approximately $374,000.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $(5.0) million, or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share, compared to the net loss for the nine months ended September 20, 2008 of $(1.1) million, or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share.

returned to profitability on a consolidated basis. However, there is significant room for improvement as the economy recovers and our customers feel more comfortable investing in capital equipment. We believe this trend will be particularly evident among small to medium sized physicians’ offices that work on smaller budgets and make up a large part of our business,” stated Gil Allon, Chief Executive Officer of OIS. “Approximately one year ago we launched the OIS branded EMR and PM solutions, which are based on our Abraxas subsidiary’s platform. Entrance into the EMR and PM markets through the introduction of these new solutions has significantly expanded our ability to increase sales though our existing customer base of ophthalmologists.”
“At the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s 113th Annual Meeting in October, we introduced two new exciting products, the OIS EyeScan and OIS Symphony Digital Reporter, which offer significant advancements to our customers and their practices. The OIS EyeScan, which is the first totally new imaging device OIS has launched in years, is currently going through FDA review for market approval. Though not yet available, the OIS EyeScan is already highly anticipated among our customers,” Mr. Allon continued.
“The development and introduction of these new products and our OIS EMR and PM solutions are exciting next steps for OIS as a company and prove why we lead the way in new technologies for the ophthalmology industry,” concluded Mr. Allon.
