'In the second half of fiscal year 2008, we began shipping limited numbers of our internally manufactured disposable scissor inserts.

Our proprietary manufacturing technology will enable us to achieve cost improvements and will enhance the quality and consistency of our scissor inserts. Inventory of externally produced disposable scissor inserts is expected to be depleted by late summer 2008.
