NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

January 31, 2010

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2009, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NIMS”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements reflect adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of January 31, 2010, and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company’s accounting policies continue unchanged from July 31, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Organization. Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NIMS”), began business as a medical diagnostic monitoring company to develop computer-aided continuous monitoring devices to detect abnormal respiratory and cardiac events using sensors on the body’s surface. It has ceased to operate in this market and has licensed the rights to its technology to the SensorMedics division of ViaSys Healthcare Inc. (which is now a unit of Cardinal Health, Inc. (“SensorMedics”), and to VivoMetrics, Inc. (“VivoMetrics”). The Company is now focused on developing and marketing its Exer-Rest ^® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms based upon unique, patented whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) technology. The Exer-Rest ^® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms currently includes the Exer-Rest ^® AT, SL and TL models.

NIMS received US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance in January 2009 to market the full Exer-Rest ^® line of products as Class I (Exempt) Medical Devices as described in the Company’s 510(k) premarket notification submission. The submission included 23 investigational and clinical studies on the vasodilatation properties of WBPA, as well as a controlled, four week clinical trial in a group of patients with chronic aches and pains carried out at the Center of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. The submission supported Exer-Rest ^® safety and efficacy for the cleared intended uses as an aid to temporarily increase local circulation, to provide temporary relief of minor aches and pains, and local muscle relaxation. The clearance was based upon the FDA’s determination that the Exer-Rest ^® line of devices was exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Federal, Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. In June 2009, the FDA authorized the expansion of intended use claims for the Exer-Rest ^® to include a claim of reducing morning stiffness. These authorizations to market the Exer-Rest ^® in the United States complement NIMS’ existing international clearance to market the Exer-Rest ^® as a class IIa medical device (CE120) in Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, India, the Middle East and certain other markets that recognize FDA and/or CE certifications with the intended use described above plus the claim of improving joint mobility.

Business. The Company receives revenue from royalties on sales of diagnostic monitoring hardware and software by SensorMedics. Additionally, the Company receives revenues from sales of parts and service and from sales of acceleration therapeutics platforms used for research purposes. In fiscal year 2009, NIMS began commercial sales of its third generation Exer-Rest ^® therapeutic platforms.

During the calendar years 2005 to 2007, the Company designed, developed and manufactured the first Exer-Rest ^® platform (now the Exer-Rest ^® AT), a second generation acceleration therapeutics platform, and updated its operations to promote the Exer-Rest ^{^®} AT overseas as an aid to improve circulation and joint mobility, and to relieve minor aches and pains.

The Company has developed a third generation of Exer-Rest ^{^®} acceleration therapeutic platforms (designated the Exer-Rest ^{^®} SL and the Exer-Rest ^{^®} TL) that are being manufactured by Sing Lin Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Sing Lin”) based in Taichung, Taiwan (see Note 10).

NON-INVASIVE MONITORING SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

January 31, 2010

NIMS, an ISO 13485 certified company, began marketing operations in the United States in 2009 upon receiving the FDA clearance described above. The Company is also permitted to sell Exer-Rest ^® in Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, India, the Middle East and certain other markets that recognize FDA and/or CE certifications, and began international marketing operations during 2008.

Sing Lin has distribution rights to the Company’s acceleration therapeutics platforms in certain Far East markets. The Company has also engaged Sing Lin to build the Somno-Ease ^™ platform, a variation of the Exer-Rest ^® that is designed to aid patients with sleep disorders as well as provide feedback for slow rhythmic breathing exercises for the relief of stress associated with daily living. The Company is also developing a further product line extension called Exer-Rest ^® Plus, a device that combines the features of the Exer-Rest ^® and Somno-Ease ^™ for future marketing in the United States and other markets.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had net losses in the amount of $0.8 million for each of the six month periods ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, and has experienced cash outflows from operating activities. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $20.6 million as of January 31, 2010, and has substantial purchase commitments at January 31, 2010 (see Note 10). As of January 31, 2010, the Company had cash of approximately $171,000 and working capital of approximately $1.1 million. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Although the Company has commenced sales of the Exer-Rest ^® in the United States and has raised approximately $2.8 million from the sales of its Series D Preferred Stock in December 2008 and January 2009 (see Note 7), the Company will need to generate additional funds during the next 12 months. Absent any significant revenues from product sales, additional debt or equity financing will be required for the Company to continue its business activities beyond March 31, 2010. It is management’s intention to obtain additional capital as needed to continue its business activities through new debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in this regard. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems of Florida, Inc., which has no current operations, and NIMS of Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such items include input variables relating to valuation of stock based compensation and other financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company includes overnight repurchase agreements securing its depository bank accounts (sweep accounts) in its cash balances. At January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $119,000 and $821,000, respectively, on deposit in such sweep accounts.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. The Company provides an allowance for royalties and other receivables it believes it may not collect in full. Receivables are written off when they are deemed to be uncollectible and all collection attempts have ceased. The amount of bad debt recorded each period and the resulting adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of each period are determined using a combination of the Company’s historical loss experience, customer-by-customer analysis of the Company’s accounts receivable each period and subjective assessments of the Company’s future bad debt exposure.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method, and are evaluated at least annually for impairment. Inventories at January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 primarily consist of finished Exer-Rest ^® units and purchased sub-assemblies to be used by the Company’s US-based contract manufacturer in production of the Exer-Rest ^® AT. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory are made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, historical obsolescence and future sales forecasts.

NON-INVASIVE MONITORING SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

January 31, 2010

		*Tooling and Equipment.* These assets are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives.

		*Long-lived Assets.* The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

		*Income Taxes.* The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The Company recognizes income tax benefits for loss carryforwards, however these tax benefits are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that loss carryforwards will expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or if future deductibility is uncertain. For financial statement purposes, the deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized.

		As of July 31, 2009, the Company had net Federal and State operating loss carry forwards of approximately $10.7 million and Foreign operating loss carry forwards of $0.2 million available to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2029 and may be subject to limitation due to change of ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.

		The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax years ranging from 2005 to 2009 remain open to examination by various taxing jurisdictions as the statute of limitations has not expired. It is the Company’s policy to include income tax interest and penalties expense in its tax provision.

		*Revenue Recognition.* Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the goods are shipped and title has transferred, the price is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes royalties as they are earned, based on reports from licensees. Research and consulting revenue and revenue from sales of extended warranties on therapeutic platforms are recognized over the term of the respective agreements.

		*Advertising Costs.* The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising and promotional costs are included in selling, general and administrative costs and expenses for all periods presented, and totaled $29,000 and $54,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010. Advertising and promotional costs totaled $4,000 and $5,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2009.

		*Research and Development Costs.* Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and primarily consist of payments to third parties for research and development of the Exer-Rest ^® device and regulatory testing and other costs to obtain FDA approval.

		*Warranties.* The Company’s warranties are two years on all Exer-Rest ^® products sold domestically and one year for products sold outside of the U.S. and are accrued based on management’s estimates and the history of warranty costs incurred. There were no material warranty costs incurred during the six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, and management estimates that the Company’s accrued warranty expense at January 31, 2010 will be sufficient to offset claims made for units under warranty.

		*Stock-based compensation.* The Company recognizes all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, as an operating expense, based on their grant date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting life of the underlying option and is included in selling, general and administrative costs and expenses in the comprehensive statements of operations for all periods presented.

		*Fair Value of Financial Instruments.* Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments such as cash, royalties and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair values because they are short term in nature or they bear current market interest rates.

		*Foreign Currency Translation.* The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiary is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date while income and expense amounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including foreign currency translations.

3. INVENTORIES

The Company’s inventory consisted of the following at January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 (in thousands):


	January 31, 2010		July 31, 2009
Work-in-progress, including sub-assemblies and spare parts	$	11	$	11
Finished goods		834		900

Total inventories	$	845	$	911

The inventory balances above are net of a $55,000 valuation adjustment to work-in-progress and a $58,000 valuation adjustment to finished goods.

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company measures the cost of employee, officer and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards is expensed over the vesting life of the underlying stock options using the graded vesting method, with each tranche of vesting options valued separately. The Company recorded stock based compensation of $15,000 and $53,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, and $40,000 and $105,000 respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2009. All stock based compensation is included in the Company’s selling, general and administrative costs and expenses.

The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), as amended, provides for a total of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2000 Plan allows the issuance of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards. The exercise price of the options is determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, but incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock as of the grant date or an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair value for a 10% shareholder. Options expire up to ten years from the date of the grant and are exercisable according to the terms of the individual option agreements.

The Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended January 31, 2010 and granted 75,000 stock options during the six months ended January 31, 2009. The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the six months ended January 31, 2009 was $0.32 per share. The fair values of options granted are estimated as of the date of their grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions included in the table below. The expected term of stock option awards granted is generally based upon the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options discussed in SAB No. 107, as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The expected volatility is derived from historical volatility of the Company’s stock on the U.S. over-the-counter bulletin board for a period that matches the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is the yield from a Treasury bond or note corresponding to the expected term of the option. The Company has not paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the future. Forfeiture rates are based on management’s estimates. The fair value of each option granted during the six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 was estimated using the following assumptions:


	Six months ended		Six months ended
	January 31, 2010		January 31, 2009
Expected volatility		n/a		110.18	%
Expected dividend yield		n/a		0.00	%
Risk-free interest rate		n/a		2.83	%
Expected life		n/a	5.0 years
Forfeiture rate		n/a		0.00	%

6. NOTES PAYABLE

On August 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Note and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with four persons (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders granted the Company a revolving credit line (the “Revolver”) in the aggregate amount of $300,000, secured by all of the Company’s personal property. The Lenders included a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, a director and executive officer of the Company who also holds more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock and an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman. The Company was permitted to borrow and reborrow from time to time under the Revolver until October 31, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”). The interest rate payable on amounts outstanding under the Revolver was 11% per annum, and increased to 16% after the Maturity Date or after an Event of Default. All amounts owing under the Revolver were required to be repaid by the Maturity Date, and amounts outstanding were prepayable at any time. On August 29, 2008, the Company drew down $300,000 under the Revolver. The Revolver was amended, effective October 31, 2008, to extend the Maturity Date until November 30, 2008. All principal and interest outstanding under the Revolver as of November 30, 2008 was repaid with proceeds from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock on December 1, 2008, as described in Note 7 below.

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company received $1,000 from existing option holders during the six months ended January 31, 2010 for the exercise of options to purchase 13,333 shares of Common Stock, and 24,195 shares were issued to other existing option holders upon the cashless exercise of 39,999 options. During the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Company received $2,000 from existing option holders for the exercise of options to purchase 13,333 shares of Common Stock, and 8,239 shares were issued to other existing option holders upon the cashless exercise of 13,333 options.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

In April 2008, the Company authorized a new series of its Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). The Series D Preferred Stock has no preference with respect to dividends to the Company’s common stock, and is entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, together with the holders of the common stock, ratably on an “as-converted” basis. Each holder of a share of the Series D Preferred Stock has the right, at any time, to convert such share of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at an initial rate of 5,000 shares of Common Stock per share of Series D Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock and holders of any other series of Preferred Stock or other class of the Company’s capital stock which are granted such voting rights as a single class on all matters, except as otherwise provided by law. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,500 per share of Series D Preferred Stock prior to any distribution to the holders of the Common Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock ranks (1) pari passu in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to all shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company and (2) senior in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to all shares of Common Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock is not redeemable.

December 2008 Offering. In December 2008, the Company sold an aggregate of 491 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock to certain private investors at a price of $1,500 per share pursuant to Stock Subscription Agreements entered between December 1, 2008 and December 2, 2008 (the sale of 286 shares closed on December 1, 2008 and the sale of 205 shares closed on December 2, 2008). The investors in the December 2008 Offering include two directors of the Company, an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman and a holder of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, the “Related Party Investors”). The aggregate purchase price for the Series D Preferred Stock was $736,500, of which $382,500 was paid by the Related Party Investors. Of the $382,500 paid by the Related Party Investors, $282,200 was paid from the proceeds of their respective interests in the Revolver described in Note 6 above.

January 2009 Offering. On January 28, 2009, pursuant to Stock Subscription Agreements accepted by the Company on that date, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of 1,400 additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $1,500 per share to certain of the Related Party Investors that participated in the December 2008 offering described above. The aggregate price paid for the shares issued in the January 2009 offering was $2.1 million.

The Series D Preferred Stock was issued in each of the above transactions at $1,500 per share, which is equivalent to $0.30 per share of Common Stock on an “as-converted” basis. The closing price of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board was $0.36, $0.38 and $0.43, respectively, on each of December 1, 2008, December 2, 2008 and January 28, 2009, resulting in beneficial conversion features of $300, $400 and $650, respectively, per share of Series D Preferred Stock on the respective issue dates. In accordance with GAAP, the $1.1 million aggregate beneficial conversion feature of the Series D Preferred Stock

on the issue dates was deemed a discount on the issuance of the shares and was recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital in the balance sheet. Because the Series D Preferred Stock was immediately convertible to Common Stock, the portion of the $1.1 million aggregate intrinsic value applicable to a closing date is deemed a dividend paid to the investors on such closing date. Such deemed dividends have been recorded as increases in losses attributable to common shareholders and, in the absence of retained earnings, as reductions of additional paid in capital.

8. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock. In computing diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, no dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock would be anti-dilutive.

Potential common shares not included in calculating diluted net loss per share are as follows:


	January 31, 2010		January 31, 2009
Stock options		2,296,832		2,085,164
Stock warrants		—		325,000
Series C Preferred Stock		1,551,200		1,551,200
Series D Preferred Stock		14,455,000		14,455,000

Total		18,303,032		18,416,364

The Company has no further obligation with regard to the Toronto facility.

Product Development and Supply Agreement.

On September 4, 2007, the Company executed a Product Development and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sing Lin Technologies Co. Ltd., a company based in Taichung, Taiwan (“Sing Lin”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company consigned to Sing Lin the development and design of the next generation Exer-Rest ^® , Somno-Ease™ and Exer-Rest ^® Plus devices. Sing Lin will also manufacture all of the Company’s acceleration therapeutic platforms. The Agreement commenced as of September 3, 2007 and has a term that extends three years from the acceptance of the first run of production units by NIMS. Thereafter, the Agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms unless either party sends the other a notice of non-renewal at least ninety days before the end of the then-current term. Either party may terminate the Agreement with ninety days prior written notice. Upon termination, each party’s obligations under the Agreement will be limited to obligations related to confirmed orders placed prior to the termination date.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Sing Lin designed, developed and manufactured the tooling required to manufacture the acceleration therapeutic platforms for a total cost to the Company of $471,000. Sing Lin will utilize the tooling in the performance of its production obligations under the Agreement. The Company paid Sing Lin $150,000 of the tooling cost upon execution of the Agreement and $150,000 upon the Company’s approval of the product prototype concepts and designs. The balance of the final tooling cost became due and payable in September 2008 upon acceptance of the first units produced using the tooling, and was paid in full. These amounts have been recorded as tooling costs, and are included in tooling and equipment, net.

Under the Agreement, the Company also grants Sing Lin the exclusive distribution rights for the products in certain countries in the Far East, including Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and certain other countries. Sing Lin has agreed not to sell the Products outside its geographic areas in the Far East.

The Company has committed to purchase approximately $2.6 million of Exer-Rest ^® and Somno-Ease™ units within one year of the September 2008 acceptance of the final product. Additionally, the Company has agreed to purchase $4.1 million and $8.8 million of Exer-Rest ^® , Exer-Rest ^® Plus and Somno-Ease™ products in the second and third years following such acceptance, respectively. These purchase commitment amounts are based upon estimated per product costs at the time the Agreement was executed multiplied by volume commitments. Through January 31, 2010, the Company had paid Sing Lin $1.6 million in connection with orders placed through that date. Of this amount, $93,000 is included in advances to contract manufacturer in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of January 31, 2010, aggregate future purchase commitments under the Agreement totaled approximately $13.9 million. As of March 10, 2010, the Company had not placed orders sufficient to satisfy its commitment to purchase a minimum number of units in the first year after acceptance of the final product. The Company’s discussions with Sing Lin are ongoing, and the Company expects its commitments under the Agreement to be modified to reflect current market conditions. There can be no assurance that the Agreement will be modified on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, or that Sing Lin will not attempt to enforce its rights under the Agreement.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Noncontrolling Interests — Effective August 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance which established accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations — Effective August 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance which established principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. This guidance also established principles for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in a business combination and determining what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination. In April 2009, the FASB amended and clarified this guidance regarding the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and related disclosures arising from contingencies in a business combination. Under the amended guidance, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies should be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be determined, acquired contingencies should be accounted for using existing guidance. The adoption of this guidance applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after August 1, 2009, and has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Codification — In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases of the SEC issued under the authority of federal securities laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification became effective beginning with the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2010. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, has not had any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events — Effective August 1, 2009 the Company adopted authoritative guidance which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This guidance defines (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (3) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB issued additional guidance to remove the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. This change removes potential conflicts with current SEC guidance. The FASB’s additional guidance also clarifies the intended scope of the reissuance disclosure provisions. The additional guidance was effective upon issuance and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of non-invasive, whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) therapeutic platforms, which are motorized platforms that move a subject repetitively from head to foot. Our acceleration therapeutic platforms are the inventions of Marvin A. Sackner, M.D., our founder, Chief Executive Officer, President and a director. Numerous peer reviewed scientific publications attest to the benefits of whole body periodic acceleration in animal and human research investigations. The application of this technology causes release of beneficial substances such as nitric oxide from the inner lining of blood vessels to the same extent as moderate to strenuous exercise. These findings are not being claimed as an intended use of the device for marketing purposes, but demonstrate a potential mechanism for its benefits.

Prior to 2002, our primary business was the development of computer assisted, non-invasive diagnostic monitoring devices and related software designed to detect abnormal respiratory, cardiac, and other medical conditions from sensors placed externally on the body’s surface. We assigned our patents for these ambulatory monitoring devices to the SensorMedics division of ViaSys Healthcare Inc. (which is now a unit of Cardinal Health, Inc. (“SensorMedics”), for cash and royalties on sales. We also assigned the patents to VivoMetrics, Inc. (“VivoMetrics”), then a related party, for an equity ownership interest in VivoMetrics (now carried at zero value for financial reporting purposes) and royalties on sales and leasing of VivoMetrics’ LifeShirt ^® systems. In April 2002, VivoMetrics received United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market the LifeShirt ^® system; however VivoMetrics ceased operations in July 2009 and filed a Chapter 11 petition for bankruptcy protection in October 2009. We continue to receive royalties from SensorMedics, however there can be no assurance as to the amount of future royalty revenue that will be derived from these patent assignments. VivoMetrics is no longer marketing the LifeShirt ^® system; the Company therefore does not expect any future royalties from VivoMetrics and has recorded a $10,000 reserve against outstanding receivables from VivoMetrics.

In 2002, we began restructuring our operations and business strategy to focus on the research, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of non-invasive, motorized, WBPA platforms. These acceleration therapeutic platforms are intended for use in the home, wellness centers and clinics as an aid to improve circulation and joint mobility, relieve minor aches and pains, relieve troubled sleep and as a mechanical feedback device for slow rhythmic breathing exercise for stress management. These platforms are targeted for use by individuals who have physical limitations and are incapable of exercising or using traditional exercise equipment. The platforms are also targeted to healthy individuals who are unwilling to exercise or wish to implement WBPA therapy in conjunction with a regular exercise routine. The Company’s first such platform, the AT-101, was initially registered with the FDA as a Class 1 (exempt) powered exercise device and was sold to physicians and their patients. In January 2005, the FDA disagreed with our device classification, and requested that we cease commercial sales and marketing efforts for the AT-101 until we received a Class 1Therapeutic Vibrator approval from the FDA. Accordingly, we ceased sales and marketing efforts in the U.S. for this platform pending FDA approval.

In January 2005, we began development of a less costly and more efficient second generation version of the AT-101, the Exer-Rest ^® (now designated the Exer-Rest ^® AT). The Company entered into a Product and Development and Supply Agreement with Sing Lin Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sing Lin”) of Taichung, Taiwan on September 4, 2007. Under this agreement, Sing Lin will manufacture new third generation versions of our patented Exer-Rest ^® motorized platforms (designated the Exer-Rest ^® SL and the Exer-Rest ^® TL). In January 2008, we received ISO 13485 certification for Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe from SGS United Kingdom Ltd., one of the world’s leading verification and certification bodies. ISO 13485 certification is recognized and accepted worldwide as a sign of design and manufacturing quality for medical devices. In addition to our ISO certification, NIMS’ Exer-Rest ^® AT acceleration therapeutic platform (Class IIa) was awarded CE0120 certification, which requires several safety related conformity tests including clinical assessment for safety and effectiveness. The CE0120 marking is often referred to as a “passport” that allows manufacturers from anywhere in the world to sell their goods throughout the European market as well as in many other countries.

We believe that it is in the best interest of NIMS and its shareholders to focus the Company’s time and resources on developing and marketing the Exer-Rest ^® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms. These devices are being marketed and sold by NIMS in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, India and Latin America, and by Sing Lin in certain Far East markets. In January 2009, NIMS received FDA approval to market the Exer-Rest ^® in the United States as a Class I Exempt medical device, and we commenced sales and deliveries of Exer-Rest ^® units in the US in February 2009.

The development of the Exer-Rest ^® has necessitated additional expenditures and commitments of capital, and we anticipate experiencing losses through the end of the 2010 fiscal year as we expand marketing activities, primarily in the US. If we are unsuccessful in achieving significant revenues from these efforts, we will likely need to raise additional capital to fulfill our business plan, but no commitment to raise such additional capital exists or can be assured. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to raise such additional capital, if required, we may not be able to continue operations.

Products

Exer-Rest ^® Therapeutic Platforms. The Exer-Rest ^® AT therapeutic platform is based upon the design and concept of our original AT-101 therapeutic platform, but has the dimensions and appearance of a commercial extra long twin bed, is more efficient, less costly and priced lower. QTM Incorporated (“QTM”), an FDA registered manufacturer (Oldsmar, FL) manufactured the device, which was built in accordance with ISO and FDA Good Manufacturing Practices. Sales of the Exer-Rest ^® AT began overseas in October 2007. The Exer-Rest ^® SL and Exer-Rest ^® TL, which are being manufactured by Sing Lin, further advance the acceleration therapeutic platform technology. The SL and TL models combine improved drive technology for quieter operation, a more comfortable “memory-foam” mattress, more convenient operation with a multi-function wireless remote and a more streamlined look to improve the WBPA experience. Overseas deliveries of Exer-Rest ^® SL and Exer-Rest ^® TL platforms began in October 2008, and US deliveries of these models began in February 2009. The Somno-Ease ^™ , a variation of the Exer-Rest ^® currently in development, is designed to aid patients with sleep disorders as well as provide feedback for slow rhythmic breathing exercises for the relief of stress associated with daily living. The Exer-Rest ^® Plus, which is also in development, will combine the features of both the Exer-Rest ^® and Somno-Ease ^™ .

LifeShirt ^{^®} . The LifeShirt ^® is a patented Wearable Physiological Computer that incorporates transducers, electrodes and sensors into a low turtle neck sleeveless garment. These transducers are connected to a miniaturized, battery powered, electronic module for collection of respiratory and cardiac data. In addition, the monitored patient can enter symptoms with intensity, mood, and medication information for integration with the physiologic information collected with the LifeShirt ^® garment. Such data can be transmitted to a Data Collection Center for quality control, generation of reports, and database storage. Vital and physiological signs can be obtained non-invasively, continuously, cheaply, and reliably with the comfortably worn LifeShirt ^® garment system while at rest, during exercise, at work, and during sleep. The LifeShirt ^{^®} was sold exclusively by VivoMetrics until July 2009, and has not been marketed since VivoMetrics ceased operations and filed for bankruptcy protection.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations set forth below under “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to royalties, inventory, tooling and equipment and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. A more detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies can be found in Note 2 in the Notes to the Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Results of Operations

The newest Exer-Rest ^® SL and TL platforms, which have been developed under our agreement with Sing Lin, became available for sale overseas in October 2008 and in the U.S. in February 2009. We expect to increase our sales activity throughout fiscal 2010 in North America by enhancing our visibility with the addition of dedicated sales personnel and focused advertising and marketing campaigns. We expect to increase our sales activity in international markets through the enlistment of local distributors.

Three and Six months ended January 31, 2010 Compared to Three and Six months Ended January 31, 2009

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was of $199,000, as compared to $211,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2009. The $12,000 decrease was due to a $48,000 decrease in royalty revenue in the 2010 period, partially offset by a $37,000 increase in product sale revenue. Total revenues increased from $281,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2009 to $396,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010. This $115,000 increase was primarily the result of an $186,000 increase in product sales offset by a $69,000 decrease in royalties.

Exer-Rest ^® platform unit sales during the three and six months ended January 31, 2010 increased approximately 108% and 225%, respectively, over the three and six months ended January 31, 2009. These increases in product sales were primarily attributable to the delivery of Exer-Rest ^® SL models to overseas distributors and the delivery of Exer-Rest ^® SL and TL models to individual customers in the US.

Combined royalty revenue from VivoMetrics and SensorMedics was $45,000 and $87,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, respectively and was $93,000 and $156,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2009, respectively. The $48,000 and $69,000 respective decreases for the three and six month periods are primarily attributable to the loss of royalty revenue from VivoMetrics due to their cessation of operations. We do not expect any future royalties from VivoMetrics and expect fiscal 2010 royalty revenue to be significantly below fiscal 2009.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010 was $83,000 and $150,000, respectively, as compared to $56,000 and $61,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2009. These $27,000 and $89,000 respective increases were primarily the result of the increased number of units sold in the 2010 fiscal periods.

Selling, general and administrative costs and expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs and expenses increased to $453,000 and $989,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, from $439,000 and $944,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2009. These $14,000 and $45,000 respective increases were primarily attributable to increases in payroll, advertising, rent and marketing and sales expenses, offset in part by reduced auditing fees, international travel and stock-based compensation expense. The increases in payroll and rent expense were primarily attributable to the February 2009 establishment and staffing of our Hialeah, Florida warehouse and the March 2009 establishment and staffing of our Toronto demonstration center. SG&A costs and expenses include stock based compensation expense, which totaled $53,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010, as compared to $105,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2009. The decrease in stock-based compensation was primarily due to a decrease in the number of stock options granted during the first six months of fiscal 2010. We expect SG&A costs and expenses to increase throughout the 2010 fiscal year as we add administrative and sales and marketing personnel and expand our other sales and marketing programs, offset in part by savings realized from the closing of the Toronto demonstration center.

Research and development costs and expenses. Research and development costs and expenses decreased $23,000 from $38,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2009 to $15,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010. Research and development costs and expenses decreased $35,000 from $91,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2009 to $55,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010. The higher costs and expenses in the 2009 fiscal periods were primarily related to costs incurred in pursuit of FDA clearance to market the Exer-Rest ^{^®} in the US, which clearances were granted in January and June 2009.

Total operating costs and expenses. Total operating costs and expenses increased $18,000 from $533,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2009 to $551,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010. Total operating costs and expenses increased $98,000 from $1.1 million for the six months ended January 31, 2009 to $1.2 million for the six months ended January 31, 2010. These increases were primarily attributable to the increases in cost of sales and SG&A costs and expenses related to higher sales volume, offset in part by lower research and development costs and expenses as described above.

Interest income (expense), net . Net interest expense was negligible in the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2010, as compared to $3,000 and $8,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2009, respectively. The net interest expense in the 2009 periods was related to balances outstanding under the Note and Security Agreement described in Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other (expense) income, net . Net other expense was $10,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010, resulting from a $7,000 foreign currency exchange loss on accounts payable held by our foreign subsidiary denominated in US Dollars, and a $3,000 loss on the disposal of leasehold improvements from the closing of the Toronto demonstration center. Net other income was $1,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010, resulting from a $4,000 foreign currency exchange gain on our foreign subsidiary’s US Dollar payables, offset in part by the $3,000 loss on the disposal of leasehold improvements described above. Net other income and expense were negligible during the three and six months ended January 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations have been primarily financed through private sales of our equity securities. At January 31, 2010, we had cash of approximately $171,000 and working capital of approximately $1.1 million. If we are not able to generate significant additional revenue, we will be required to obtain additional external financing to continue operations beyond the first quarter of the 2010 calendar year. No assurance can be given that such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to sell additional shares of our stock and/or borrow cash could be materially adversely affected by the recent economic turmoil in the Global equity and credit markets. Current economic conditions have been, and continue to be, volatile and continued instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business and to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $683,000 and $881,000 for six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Reduced payments to Sing Lin for inventory purchases were offset by increased use of cash for accounts receivable and other working capital items.

No cash was used in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2010, as compared to $171,000 used in the six months ended January 31, 2009. The $171,000 used in the six months ended January 31, 2009 consisted of payments to Sing Lin for production tooling to be used in the manufacture of Exer-Rest ^® platforms.

Net cash used by financing activities was $33,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010, primarily for the repayment of notes financing insurance premiums. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.8 million for the six months ended January 31, 2009, primarily from the $2.8 million proceeds from the December 2008 and January 2009 issuances of Series D Preferred Stock described in Note 7 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Under the agreement with Sing Lin, we were committed to purchase approximately $2.6 million of Exer-Rest ^® and Somno-Ease ^™ units within one year of acceptance of the final product, which acceptance occurred in September 2008, and an additional $4.1 million and $8.8 million of products in the second and third years following acceptance of the final product, respectively. Under the Agreement, the Company must pay a portion of the product purchase price at the time production orders are placed, with the balance due upon delivery. Through January 31, 2010, we have paid Sing Lin $1.6 million in connection with orders placed through that date, and we will be required to make additional payments totaling approximately $62,000 upon taking delivery of the units currently in production. We began taking delivery of units from Sing Lin in October 2008 and we expect such deliveries to continue periodically throughout the 2010 fiscal year. As of March 10, 2010, we had not placed orders sufficient to satisfy our first-year purchase commitment under the Agreement. Our discussions with Sing Lin are ongoing, and we expect our commitments under the Agreement to be modified to reflect current market conditions. However, there can be no assurance that the Agreement will be modified on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that Sing Lin will not attempt to enforce its rights under the Agreement.

Series D Preferred Stock Offerings. In April 2008, we authorized a new series of our Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). Each holder of a share of the Series D Preferred Stock has the right, at any time, to convert such share of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial rate of 5,000 shares of common stock per share of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock has a $1,500 per share liquidation preference, and is issued at $1,500 per share, which is equivalent to $0.30 per share of Common Stock on an “as-converted” basis.

December 2008 Series D Preferred Stock Offering. On December 2, 2008, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 491 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock to certain investors pursuant to stock purchase agreements entered between December 1, 2009 and December 2, 2008 (the sale of 286 shares closed on December 1, 2008 and the sale of 205 shares closed on December 2, 2008). These investors include Dr. Marvin Sackner, a director and executive officer of the Company who also holds more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, Frost Gamma Investments Trust (“Frost Gamma”), a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, Hsu Gamma Investments, LP (“Hsu Gamma”), an entity controlled by our Chairman, and a director (collectively, the “Related Party Investors”). The aggregate purchase price for the Series D Preferred Stock was $736,500, of which $382,500 was paid by the Related Party Investors. Of the $382,500 paid by the Related Party Investors, $282,200 was paid from the proceeds of their respective interests in the Revolver described in Note 6 to the accompanying financial statements. The closing prices of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board on December 1 and 2, 2008 were $0.36 and $0.38 per share, respectively, resulting in a $168,000 aggregate intrinsic value on the issue dates. The $168,000 aggregate intrinsic value of the Series D Preferred Stock on the issue dates was deemed a dividend paid to the investors on the closing dates and as an increase in loss attributable to common shareholders in the financial statements for the period then ended.

January 2009 Series D Preferred Stock Offering. On January 28, 2009, we completed the sale of 700 additional shares of our Series D Preferred Stock to each of Frost Gamma and Hsu Gamma (1,400 total shares) for aggregate proceeds of $2.1 million. The January 28, 2009 closing price of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board was $0.43 per share, resulting in a $65,000 intrinsic value per share of Series D Preferred Stock on the issue date. The $910,000 aggregate intrinsic value of the Series D Preferred Stock on the issue date was deemed a dividend paid to the investors on the closing date and as an increase in loss attributable to common shareholders in the financial statements for the period then ended.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses in the amount of $362,000 and $325,000, respectively, for the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, and $797,000 and $823,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $20.6 million as of January 31, 2010, and has substantial purchase commitments at January 31, 2010 (see Note 10 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


ITEM 3.		QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required for smaller reporting companies as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.


ITEM 4.		CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2010 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There were no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2010. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company issued 7,787 shares of its common stock to an option holder upon the cashless exercise of 13,333 options on January 7, 2010, and issued an additional 16,408 shares of its common stock to additional option holders upon the cashless exercise of 26,666 options on January 23, 2010. On January 13, 2009, the Company issued 13,333 shares of its common stock upon exercise of options by a former director of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 per share for total consideration of $2,000. The proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes. The Company issued the above-described Common Stock in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The securities described above were issued to accredited investors. The exercised options restrict transfer of Common Stock acquired upon exercise thereof unless an applicable exemption exists under the securities laws, and a legend was placed on the stock certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon exercise to the effect that the shares were not registered and absent registration could only be transferred with an appropriate exemption.


Item 3.		Defaults upon Senior Securities

	Division of Corporations

1.		The name of the Corporation is Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc.

2.		The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation are hereby amended by striking out Article VI in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

	1.		I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc.;

	2.		Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

	3.		Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

	4.		The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

	a.

	a.		All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

	b.		Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.


Item 6.		Exhibits
