ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS

SALE OF URODYNAMICS AND URINARY INCONTINENCE PRODUCT LINES

On October 15, 2003, and as previously reported by Endocare, Inc. (the
"Company") in a press release dated October 17, 2003, the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Timm Medical Technologies, Inc., has sold its urodynamics and
urinary incontinence product lines to Redmond, WA-based SRS Medical Corp., a
privately-held company. The purchase price of the product lines was
approximately $2.7 million, which will be paid over a period of approximately
three and one-half years in the form of payments based on the sale of products
by SRS. The payments will be secured by a secured promissory note with an
interest rate of 7.5 percent on the unpaid balance. Attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 is a copy of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Attached hereto as Exhibit
99.2 is the press release issued by the Company on October 17, 2003 relating to
the transaction with SRS Medical Corp.

BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC.

A Delaware Court of Chancery has ruled that the Company must pay Biolife
Solutions, Inc., formerly Cryomedical Sciences ("CMS"), $1.6 million to settle a
dispute that resulted from the acquisition by the Company of the cryosurgical
technology and assets of CMS. The court ruled that the Company failed to
register 120,022 shares of stock, issued to CMS as part of the transaction that
closed on June 24, 2002, in a timely fashion. The award amount roughly
represents the value of the Company's stock at the time it was issued to CMS as
consideration for the purchase. The Company may appeal the decision. As a result
of the award, a charge of $1.5 million will be recorded in the fourth quarter of
2002.
