OSI Systems To Replace Independent Accountants

OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS), today announced that Deloitte & Touche LLP has resigned as its independent registered public accountants, effective March 23, 2006.  OSIs Audit Committee is in the process of engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm and the company expects to announce such appointment in the near future.  

The company expects that the resignation will not have ANY material effect on its operations and, as such, reiterates its previously stated guidance for the second half of fiscal 2006. Revenues for the second half of fiscal 2006 are expected to be between $231 million to $236 million, compared to revenues of $219 million for the first half of fiscal 2006 and $194.9 million for the second half of fiscal 2005. The company expects to be profitable for the second half of fiscal 2006 and anticipates that revenues and earnings will be stronger in the fourth quarter when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
