Item 8.01  OTHER EVENTS
 
One of the Company's pharmaceutical products, Renacidin Irrigation, has been made for the Company for many years by an outside supplier.  In 2010, as a result of issues at the supplier's manufacturing facility, it was necessary for the supplier to temporarily curtail production of many of its products, including Renacidin, until such time as those issues were addressed.

Those issues have now been corrected and the Company's supplier has now resumed full production of Renacidin.  In May 2011 the Company began to receive new shipments of product and resumed shipments to its customers.

The Company and its supplier have entered into a confidential settlement whereby the Company will receive an agreed-upon per-bottle credit during calendar year 2011, which will be applied to the Company's purchases of Renacidin until the credit is fully used. The Company expects to receive almost all of the credit by the end of its third fiscal quarter, with a small amount extending into the Company's fourth quarter.
