Updated Guidance

Based on our ability to meet the conditions of the Socius agreement, or raise significant additional capital from other sources during the remainder of 2011 to fund our growth, and other operating assumptions detailed in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2011, the Company now expects full year 2011 revenues to grow between 15% and 30% compared to full year 2010 revenues. The Company expects continued revenue growth and positive gross margins in 2012, and to be breakeven on a cash basis in the fourth quarter of 2012.
