Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Possis Medical, said, "As outlined last quarter, we had anticipated that revenue levels in the first quarter would be down sequentially due to seasonality factors and down year-over-year largely due to the results from our AiMI study announced a year ago. Actual revenue for the quarter of $15.5 million just missed our guidance range of $15.9 to $16.2 million due to the combined factors of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, higher than expected sales force turnover, increased competition, and continuing controversy concerning the role of thrombectomy and embolic embolic /em·bol·ic/ (em-bol´ik) pertaining to an embolus or to embolism.

On a franchise basis, coronary sales were most impacted and down somewhat from the stabilized level achieved during the prior two quarters.

On a much more positive note, peripheral sales exceeded our expectations and continued to lead the way in catheter catheter /cath·e·ter/ (kath´e-ter)

Our earnings per share was within our guidance range, both including and excluding expensing stock-based compensation per FAS 123 (R)."

The Company sold 47 AngioJet System drive units in the first quarter, compared to 57 drive units one year ago and 50 drive units in the previous quarter. Said Dutcher, "We are pleased with the continued demand for our AngioJet Thrombectomy System from new customers. This growing footprint of AngioJet System drive units provides the necessary installed base to ensure continued penetration in our core markets, and also positions the Company to take advantage of new market opportunities, such as deep vein thrombosis A blood clot (thrombos) in a vein deep within the muscle, typically in the thigh or calf.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased by $837,000 to $8.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from the first quarter of fiscal 2005, due primarily to reflecting FAS 123(R) stock-based compensation charges in the current period. The increase in SG&A over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 was also primarily stock-based compensation related.

First quarter research and development (R&D) spending increased by $72,000 to $2.5 million from the prior-year period due to stock-based compensation expenses partially offset by timing-related spending reductions for completed projects.

"We continue to invest heavily in R&D, as a percentage of revenue, because we believe it is a key driver of our future growth," continued Dutcher.

Product Development Update

As illustrated by the recent product launches and regulatory submissions, Possis expects to continue to benefit from its ongoing investment in new and enhanced product designs. For example, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 the Company introduced the Spiroflex(TM) catheter, another improvement to the 4 Fr rapid-exchange catheter line. This product features a spiral laser cut along the full length of the proximal stainless steel stainless steel: see steel.

) 2005 conference in Washington, D.C. "Spiroflex has received rave reviews from customers who have used it. We expect that when approved by the FDA for coronary use, the Spiroflex will rapidly become our flagship coronary catheter," said Dutcher.

The Company also reported that, during the first quarter, it took significant steps in advancing its goal to bring its GuardDOG distal occlusion occlusion /oc·clu·sion/ (o-kloo´zhun)

Dutcher said, "We are excited by the potential for this product.

We anticipate that the new designs will be filed with the FDA in the first half of our 2006 fiscal year, with a market launch by the end of the year."

New Clinical Science

On another important and complementary front, Possis Medical is continuing to expand its commitment to sponsor meaningful new clinical science to highlight the value of AngioJet treatment for thrombus.

In support of its coronary market, the Company sponsored an evening satellite symposium at the recent TCT2005 conference, the largest annual meeting of interventional cardiologists. The symposium was titled "Developments and New Approaches in the Treatment of Intracoronary Thrombosis thrombosis (thrŏmbō`sĭs), obstruction of an artery or vein by a blood clot (thrombus). Arterial thrombosis is generally more serious because the supply of oxygen and nutrition to an area of the body is halted.  with Rheolytic Thrombectomy," and addressed some of the concerns raised by the AiMI results.

The key difference between JETSTENT and AiMI is that all JETSTENT patients must have visible thrombus at baseline, or a total occlusion; and all AngioJet patients will be treated with the specific technique developed by Dr. David Antoniucci of Careggi Hospital, Florence, Italy. The Company expects that approximately 100 patients will be enrolled in JETSTENT by the end of fiscal 2006.

Looking out through fiscal 2006, the Company is planning additional presentations of real-world AngioJet coronary treatment experiences. The list includes a round-table discussion of interventional cardiologists at the upcoming ACC See adaptive cruise control.  meeting in Atlanta in March and the PCR PCR polymerase chain reaction.

"Regardless of the results of the AiMI study that were announced about a year ago, this work is critical to our future success and in achieving our growth targets," Dutcher continued.

The Company also announced progress on initiatives to address rapidly growing peripheral vascular markets. In fiscal 2006, Possis Medical will deepen its investment in clinical science to develop AngioJet therapy for treating venous venous /ve·nous/ (ve´nus) pertaining to the veins.

) disease. This includes both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). "Since the underlying cause of both these diseases is thrombus, many physicians are interested in treating their patients with AngioJet thrombectomy. We are excited by the potential for this area and estimate the initial market opportunity from treatment of these diseases exceeds $240 million and will grow significantly over the next decade," commented Dutcher.

"We expect that these new CPT codes will spur use of the AngioJet System in the treatment of peripheral thrombus. These specific CPT codes will make it far easier for physicians to correctly identify and be reimbursed for the procedures that they have been performing for several years," said Dutcher. These new CPT codes will go into effect on January 1, 2006.

Outlook

Looking ahead, coronary product sales are projected to be relatively flat sequentially for the balance of fiscal 2006, while peripheral product sales are projected to be up between 10 and 25 percent sequentially per quarter throughout the balance of fiscal 2006. Due to the revised coronary projections, the Company has reduced fiscal 2006 revenue projections from the previously stated guidance of $69 to $74 million to $66 to $70 million.

The Company expects gross margins in the low to mid-seventies as a percent of sales and non-GAAP (pro forma) net income of between $0.34 and $0.42 per diluted share for fiscal 2006 versus $0.34 per share for fiscal 2005. Including the impact of FAS 123 (R) stock-based compensation expense, the Company expects net income per diluted share to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.24 for the full fiscal year compared to $0.16 per share for fiscal 2005. Possis anticipates second-quarter revenue to be approximately $15.7 to $16.1 million and net income in the range of $0.01 to $0.03 per diluted share. The impact of expensing stock-based compensation per FAS 123(R) is anticipated to be approximately $0.05 per diluted share for the second quarter and approximately $0.18 per diluted share for fiscal year 2006.
