The relationship includes a $5 million investment for a 14.3% ownership position, exclusive distribution rights to market and sell the Accu2i pMTA microwave ablation system in all markets outside the United States until December 2013, and an exclusive option to purchase, at any time until September 2013, substantially all of the global assets of Microsulis Medical Ltd., including the microwave ablation technology and its worldwide distribution rights.
   
• NanoKnife^® System sales grew 54% to $4.1 million in the fourth quarter and 59% to $11.6 million in the fiscal year despite the temporary stop in shipments in the U.S. between January and April.
   
• Clinical support for the NanoKnife System continues to build, including the publication of two studies in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons:
   

• "Irreversible Electroporation Therapy in the Management of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma" — Doctors Robert Martin and Susan Ellis at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, Ky.; and Doctors Kelli McFarland and Vic Velanovich at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Mich.
   
• "Ablation of Perivascular Hepatic Malignant Tumors with Irreversible Electroporation" — Doctors Peter Kingham, Yuman Fong, Ami Karkar, Michael D'Angelica, Peter Allen, Ronald DeMatteo, George Getrajdman, Constantinos Sofocleous, Stephen Solomon, and William Jarnagin, all physicians at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, N.Y.
   

In addition to the previously announced presentations at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting and Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) 2012 conference, two presentations were made on using the NanoKnife System to treat pancreatic cancer at the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association meeting in Paris earlier this month. Dr. Robert Martin of the University of Louisville presented clinical experience in margin accentuation in pancreatic surgery.

Approximately 1,300 patients worldwide have been treated with the NanoKnife System as of May 31, 2012. 

• Strengthened the Oncology/Surgery product portfolio by re-entering the embolization market and with the launches of the Embarc Microcatheter and Charter Guidewire.
   
• VenaCure EVLT^® system sales increased 17% in the fourth quarter and 14% in the fiscal year over the comparable prior year periods. The growth was driven by strong customer acceptance of the recently-introduced VenaCure^® 1470 laser and continued market share growth of NeverTouch^® procedure kits.
   
• The signing of a three-year agreement with Canada's national healthcare group purchasing organization, HealthPRO, which represents the purchasing interests of 225 hospitals, provincial authorities and Shared Service Organizations.
