The FDA's review process continues, and the FDA has submitted additional questions to the Company for which the Company is preparing responses. Although the Company remains optimistic, it is unable to predict when the review process will be completed and its ultimate outcome.

On May 15, 2009, the FDA granted Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) designation for the Company's BSD-2000 Hyperthermia System for use in conjunction with radiation therapy for the treatment of cervical carcinoma patients who are ineligible for chemotherapy. The HUD for the BSD-2000 confirmed that the intended use population is fewer than 4,000 patients per year. Following receipt of the HUD designation, the Company filed a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) marketing submission with the FDA, and the FDA review process of this submission is ongoing.

If received, the HDE approval of the BSD-2000 Hyperthermia System would authorize the commercial sale of the BSD-2000 in the United States.
