In other company news, HTDS management has been informed that there is an independent petition brought by a number of shareholders in support of HTDS at http://www.petitiononline.com/htds2009/petition.html. This is a petition to the Pink Sheets to remove the Caveat Emptor status from HTDS stock listing. To date, over 600 concerned shareholders have clicked on that link and signed the petition!

To our shareholders: We share your concern that the action of the Pink Sheets in giving us the skull and crossbones and failing to remove for so long is hurting our stock price and causing people not to buy our stock. We agree that the reason given for continuing this improper action -- that there may be other people making naked short sales in the stock -- is not a good reason to negatively label our company. We know of no other instance where this has happened to another company in the Pink Sheets whose stock has short sellers. We are making every effort to remedy this situation.

On behalf of HTDS management, employees and the patients that we help with our treatments, we thank our shareholders for their strong support. We are all grateful for such loyal shareholders and their spontaneous demonstration of confidence in the future of our company. We pledge to re-double our efforts to create value for you no matter what opposition we face.
