This differential was due to a 98.6% decrease in royalty and licensing revenues to $6,200 for the three month ended June 30, 2011 compared to $444,100 in the same period during 2010. However, product sales for both domestic and international markets increased by 4.2% and 90.7%, respectively, for the three month period ended June 30, 2011.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, total revenues from all sources decreased by 6.9% to $1,706,700, compared to $1,833,700 for the same period in 2010.

Factors contributing to the decrease in net income loss of $244,490 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, were several non-cash transactions, including:
The Company's net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $58,400 compared to $360,800 during the same period in 2010. As noted above, the net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 included $444,100 of royalty and licensing revenues, compared to $6,200 for the same period in 2011, which accounted for the deferential in profit.

At June 30, 2011 the Company had $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $0.9 million over the December 31, 2010 balance of $4.4 million. A significant portion of this decrease was attributed to a $0.4 million retirement payout to an executive office of the Company.
