NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular numbers in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Operations
     We are a medical device company focused on developing, manufacturing and selling cryoablation products which have the potential to assist physicians in improving and extending life by use in the treatment of cancer and other tumors. We were formed in 1990 as a research and development division of Medstone International, Inc. (“Medstone”), a manufacturer of shockwave lithotripsy equipment for the treatment of kidney stones. Following our incorporation under the laws of the state of Delaware in 1994, we became an independent, publicly-owned corporation upon Medstone’s distribution of our stock to the existing stockholders on January 1, 1996.
2. Basis of Presentation
     Following the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we have omitted footnote disclosures in this report that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our annual audited financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008.
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, needed to present fairly the financial results for these interim periods. The condensed consolidated results of operations presented for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
     Effective on August 20, 2007, we effected a one-for-three reverse split of our common stock. All share amounts and per share amounts have been adjusted throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented. The reverse split did not affect the authorized shares and par value per share. On October 10, 2007, our common stock commenced trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “ENDO.”
3. Recent Operating Results and Liquidity
     Since inception, we have incurred losses from operations and have reported negative cash flows. As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $194.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million. Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $4.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. In addition to working capital needs for our operations and our growth initiatives, we have also incurred significant expenditures under indemnification obligations for our former officers and directors and have large outstanding state and local tax liabilities, as further described below.
     We have historically funded our cash needs with borrowings and equity financings. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, $0.9 million is borrowed under a $4.0 million line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, which expires in February 2009 and is payable on a current basis. During 2007, we also received $1.6 million and $7.0 million from the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital) and Frazier Healthcare V, L.P. (Frazier), respectively, as more fully described in Note 4 — “Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants.” As discussed in Note 6 -“Collection of Notes Receivable,” during 2008, we have also received one-time payments from collection of two notes receivable totaling $2.3 million.
     We do not expect to reach cash flow positive operations on an annual basis in 2008 or 2009, and we expect to continue to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future. These losses have resulted in part from our continued investment to gain acceptance of our technology and investment in initiatives that we believe should ultimately result in cost reductions.
     Although we have incurred significant payments under our indemnification agreements with certain former officers and directors in the past, we have no continuing obligations in the future. In August and October 2008, we entered into agreements with our former CFO and former CEO, respectively, who were under investigation by the

6


Table of Contents

SEC and the Department of Justice (DOJ), pursuant to which their indemnification agreements were terminated in exchange for our waiver of certain severance and legal fee reimbursement rights. As a result of these new agreements, we are no longer obligated to pay any future legal costs for these former officers. These former officers recently entered into plea agreements with the DOJ to resolve the criminal cases against them. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred expenses of $1.9 million relating to legal fees of former officers and former directors, and recorded insurance recoveries of $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2008, we had exhausted the remaining reimbursement available under this insurance coverage. See Note 10 — “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional discussion.
     We face large cash expenditures in the future related to past due state and local taxes, primarily sales and use tax obligations, which we estimate to be approximately $2.1 million. This amount was fully accrued as of September 30, 2008. We are in the process of negotiating resolutions of the past due state and local tax obligations with the applicable tax authorities. However, there is no assurance that these obligations will be reduced as a result of the negotiations or that we will be allowed to pay the amounts due over an extended period of time.
     We also intend to continue investing in our sales and marketing efforts to physicians as well as the patients in order to raise awareness and gain further acceptance of our technology. This investment is required in order to increase physicians’ usage of our technology in the treatment of prostate and renal cancers, lung and liver cancers and palliative intervention (treatment of pain associated with metastases). Such costs will be reported as current period charges under generally accepted accounting principles.
     As previously announced, we continue to explore and evaluate potential strategic opportunities aimed at enhancing stockholder value and solidifying the long-term prospects of our cryoablation technology in the marketplace. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we have incurred $0.9 million in relation to potential strategic transactions. These expenditures were recorded as general and administrative expenses as incurred since any potential transaction is not expected to occur until 2009, and these costs will be required to be expensed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (R), Business Combinations.
     In the short term, we expect to use existing cash reserves and working capital through the sale of our products to finance our projected operating and cash flow needs, along with continued expense management efforts. However, our cash needs are not entirely predictable and the future availability of funds from our bank is subject to many conditions, including the subjective acceleration clause and other provisions that are predicated on events not within our control. We cannot access the bank credit facility if we fail to comply with all covenants and borrowing conditions. Although we are in compliance with the conditions and covenants under the bank credit facility as of September 30, 2008, there is no assurance that we will be able to comply with all requirements in future periods, that we can obtain a waiver if an event of default occurs or that the lender will not exercise the subject acceleration clause. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the availability of the bank credit facility.
     We will continue to assess the adequacy of our capital resources and may use both existing and new sources of capital to finance the growth of the business. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital during 2009 to fund its ongoing operations. Should the financing be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
4. Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants
    May 2007 Private Placement
     On May 24, 2007, we entered into a common stock subscription agreement with Frazier and on May 25, 2007 we entered into a registration rights agreement with Frazier. Under the subscription agreement, Frazier agreed to purchase 1,085,271 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $6.45, for aggregate proceeds to us of $7.0 million.
     In the subscription agreement, Frazier agreed to lock-up provisions restricting the transferability of the shares, for a period of one year for 75 percent of the shares and a period of 18 months for 25 percent of the shares. The lock-up

7


Table of Contents

provisions expire early if we undergo a change in control or if we issue significant additional amounts of securities in certain circumstances after May 25, 2007, as described in the subscription agreement.
     In the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares for resale. We also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as promptly as possible thereafter, with the intention that the registration statement will be available for resale by Frazier once the lock-up restrictions expire. In addition, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until May 25, 2010. We filed this registration statement on March 20, 2008 and the SEC declared the registration statement effective on April 18, 2008.
     Fusion Capital Equity Purchase Agreement
     On October 25, 2006, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital as described above under Note 3 — “Recent Operating Results and Liquidity.” Under this agreement we had the right to sell to Fusion Capital up to $16.0 million worth of common stock, at our election, over a two year period at prices determined based upon the market price of our common stock at the time of each sale, without any fixed discount. We could sell common stock in $100,000 increments every fourth business day, with additional increments available every third business day if the market price per share of our common stock was $4.50 or higher. Our agreement with Fusion Capital did not allow us to sell shares to Fusion Capital on any date on which the purchase price was less than $3.00. Under the terms of the agreement, we issued 157,985 shares of common stock to Fusion Capital in 2006 for no consideration as a commitment fee. Our agreement with Fusion Capital expired on November 6, 2008.
     Through September 30, 2008, we had sold 293,397 shares to Fusion Capital for gross proceeds of $1.6 million. The most recent sale occurred in May 2007 and no additional shares were issued after September 30, 2008 through the expiration date. We paid a transaction fee equal to 6.0 percent of the stock proceeds to an investment advisory firm under a pre-existing capital advisory agreement.
March 2005 Private Placement
     On March 11, 2005, we completed a private placement of 1,878,448 shares of our common stock and detachable warrants to purchase 1,314,892 common shares at an offering price of $8.31 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $15.6 million. Transaction costs were $1.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of $14.6 million. Of the total warrants, 657,446 had an initial exercise price of $10.50 (Series A warrants) per share and 657,446 had an initial exercise price of $12.00 (Series B warrants) per share. The expiration date of the warrants is May 1, 2010. Two former members of our management team made personal investments totaling $0.7 million in the aggregate, and a member of our Board of Directors invested $0.3 million.
     The warrants have an anti-dilution clause that is triggered upon issuance of a certain number of shares of our common stock that reduces the effective exercise price of the warrants to preserve the ownership of the warrant holders. As a result of our May 2007 private placement and the issuance of shares to Fusion Capital through September 30, 2008, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants decreased to $10.02 to effectively provide holders the right to purchase an additional 31,667 shares and the exercise price of the Series B Warrants decreased to $11.37 to effectively provide holders the right to purchase an additional 37,191 shares.
     The warrants initially are exercisable at any time during their term for cash only. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless exercise basis in limited circumstances after the first anniversary of the closing date if there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrants. Each warrant is callable by us at a price of $0.01 per share underlying such warrant if our stock trades above certain dollar per share thresholds ($19.50 for the Series A warrants and $22.50 for Series B warrants) for 20 consecutive days commencing on any date after the effectiveness of the registration statement, provided that (a) we provide 30-day advanced written notice (Notice Period), (b) we simultaneously call all warrants on the same terms and (c) all common shares issuable are registered. Holders may exercise their warrants during the Notice Period and warrants which remain unexercised will be redeemed at $0.01 per share.
     Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement relating to the March 2005 financing, we filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the resale of all of the common stock purchased and the common stock originally underlying the issued warrants. The Form S-2 registration statement was declared effective September 28, 2005. We subsequently filed a post-effective

8


Table of Contents

amendment on Form S-3, which was declared effective March 28, 2006, a post-effective amendment on Form S-1, which was declared effective March 30, 2007 and a post-effective amendment on Form S-3, which was declared effective April 18, 2008.
     The registration rights agreement provides that if a registration statement is not filed within 30 days of closing or does not become effective within 90 days thereafter, then in addition to any other rights the holders may have, we will be required to pay each holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages, equal to one percent of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder per month. We incurred $0.6 million of liquidated damages through September 28, 2005, when the S-2 registration statement was declared effective.
     Under the registration rights agreement, we could incur similar liquidated damages in the future (equal to one percent of the aggregate purchase price paid by each affected holder per month) if holders are unable to make sales under the registration statement (for example, if we fail to keep the registration statement current as required by SEC rules or if future amendments to the registration statement are not declared effective in a timely manner). The registration obligation remains outstanding until the earlier of the date on which all shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants have been issued and resold by the holders of the warrants or the date on which all such shares can be resold by the holders without registration.
     Since the liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement could in some cases exceed a reasonable discount for delivering unregistered shares, we accounted for the registration payment arrangement and warrants as one instrument classified as a derivative (a non-current liability) under EITF No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. We allocated a portion of the March 2005 offering proceeds to the warrants based on their fair value at issuance. Through December 31, 2006, we revalued the warrants as a derivative instrument quarterly in connection with changes in the underlying stock price and other assumptions, with the change in value recorded as interest expense. In December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF No. 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, which changed the way we account for the outstanding warrants. FSP EITF No. 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of this FSP and that continue to be outstanding at the adoption date, this guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption of FSP EITF No. 00-19-2 on January 1, 2007, the value of the warrants as of the original issue date ($5.7 million) was reclassified to equity without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration under the registration payment arrangement. The difference between the $5.7 million and the carrying value of the warrant liability as of December 31, 2006 ($1.3 million) was recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce opening retained earnings on January 1, 2007. Hereafter, accruals for liquidated damages, if any, will be recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
5. Bank Line of Credit
     As described above in Note 3 — “Recent Operating Results and Liquidity,” on October 26, 2005, we entered into a one-year credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the Lender), which provided up to $4.0 million in borrowings for working capital purposes in the form of a revolving line of credit and term loans (not to exceed $500,000). The agreement was amended on various dates during 2006 and 2007. On February 8, 2008 the agreement was further extended to expire on February 26, 2009, as described below.
     The credit facility permits the borrowings up to the lesser of $4.0 million or amounts available under a borrowing base formula based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, but availability of funds is ultimately subject to the good faith business judgment of the Lender. As amended, the borrowing base is (i) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser of 30 percent of the value of eligible inventory or $500,000. Borrowings are secured by all of our assets, including all accounts receivable collections which are held in trust for the Lender. Interest is payable monthly at prime rate plus 1.5 percent. The agreement requires a one-time commitment fee of $40,000 paid on the effective date and an annual facility fee equal to 0.5 percent of the unused portion of the facility. A termination fee will also be assessed if the credit facility is terminated prior to expiration. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there was $0.9 million outstanding on the line of credit.

     As a condition to each advance under the credit facility, all representations and warranties by us must be materially true and no event of default must have occurred or be continuing. In addition, the Lender, in its good faith business judgment, must determine that no material adverse change has occurred. A material adverse change occurs when there is a material impairment in the priority of the Lender’s lien in the collateral or its value, a material adverse change in our business, operations or condition, a material impairment of the prospect of repayment or if the Lender determines, in its good faith reasonable judgment, that there is a reasonable likelihood that we will fail to comply with one or more financial covenant in the next financial reporting period.
     The agreement governing the credit facility contains various financial and operating covenants that impose limitations on our ability, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness, merge or consolidate, sell assets except in the ordinary course of business, make certain investments, enter into leases and pay dividends without the consent of the Lender. The credit facility also includes a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock box with the Lender to which all collections are deposited. Under the subjective acceleration clause, the Lender may declare default and terminate the credit facility if it determines that a material adverse charge has occurred. If the aggregate outstanding advances plus reserves placed by the Lender against the loan availability exceeds 50 percent of the receivable borrowing base component as defined, or if a default occurs, all current and future lock box proceeds will be applied against the outstanding borrowings. The credit facility also contains cross-default provisions and a minimum tangible net worth requirement measured on a monthly basis. Tangible net worth must be equal to or greater than the sum of a base amount ($1,000 as of September 30, 2008) plus 25 percent of all consideration received from issuing equity securities and subordinated debt and 25 percent of positive consolidated net income in each quarter.
     As of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants. During February through May 2007, the outstanding advances exceeded 50 percent of the receivable borrowing base referred to above. As required by the agreement, our lock-box proceeds were applied daily to reduce the outstanding advances and we re-borrowed the amount subject to the Lender’s approval. The daily borrowings and repayments have been presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In June 2007, outstanding advances were reduced to less than 50 percent of the receivable borrowing base, and we were no longer required to repay and re-borrow funds on a daily basis as of July 13, 2007.
6. Collection of Notes Receivable
     In February 2008, we collected a $1.4 million note receivable and $0.1 million in related interest income from Plethora Solutions Holdings plc (Plethora), who purchased our former subsidiary Timm Medical Technology, Inc. in February 2006. In anticipation of a potential accelerated settlement of the note in exchange for a discount, we had recorded a $0.3 million reserve on the note balance in the fourth quarter of 2006 and ceased accruing interest income. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we reversed the $0.3 million allowance and reinstated the note to its face value and recorded $0.1 million in interest income previously suspended. In February 2008, the note and interest income was collected in full. Also, during August 2008 we negotiated and received a $750,000 payment from SRS Medical, Inc. (SRS), in full satisfaction of a fully-reserved $2.7 million note receivable recorded in October 2003 related to the sale of a product line to SRS. A full reserve was recorded on the note receivable at the time of the sale since it was determined at that time that collection was not reasonably assured and any collections would be reported as a gain in the period received.
7. Capital Stock and Net Loss Per Share
     Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the respective periods. Diluted loss per share, calculated using the treasury stock method, gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of certain stock options, warrants, deferred stock units and restricted stock units that were outstanding during the respective periods presented. For periods when we reported a net loss, these potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. The total number of shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, prior to application of the treasury stock method for options and warrants was 3.1 million and 3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

8. Stock-Based Compensation
     Our equity incentive programs include stock options, restricted stock units and deferred stock units. Some awards vest based on continuous service while others vest based on performance conditions, such as profitability and sales goals. We account for equity awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which requires measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors.
     Under SFAS No. 123R, the fair value of share-based awards is estimated at grant date using an option pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. For awards that vest based on continuous service, we record compensation expense ratably over the service period from the date of grant. For performance-based awards, we begin recording compensation expense over the remaining service period when we determine that achievement is probable. Change in estimates as to the probability of vesting is recorded through cumulative catch-up adjustments when the assessment is made. Change in the estimated implicit service period is recorded prospectively over the adjusted vesting period. Since share-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, we have applied an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates will be revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
     During the third quarter of 2007, we determined that it was probable the profitability goals would be met during 2009, and that the related performance-based awards would vest. In conjunction with this change in assessment, we recorded $0.5 million of compensation expense in the third quarter of 2007, including a cumulative adjustment for expenses relating to the second quarter of 2007 as if the probable assessment had been determined at the original grant date. During the third quarter of 2008, we reassessed the profitability goals and determined that it is no longer probable the profitability goals will be met during the performance measurement period and as such, the related performance based awards will not vest. In conjunction with this change in assessment, we recorded a $1.2 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to reverse the prior expense recorded.
     Due to the resignation of our CEO in September 2008, we recorded a $0.1 million reduction in the stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2008 for his time-based stock awards. The CEO resignation is further discussed in Note 14 — “Subsequent Events”.
     Net stock-based compensation expense recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was a reduction (negative expense) of $0.6 million and expense of $0.8 million, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. These amounts are primarily included in selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses.
9. Inventories
     Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. Reserves for slow-moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and product demand. We evaluate the adequacy of these reserves quarterly.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
     Governmental Investigations and Legal Proceedings
     As reported in the Form 8-K that we filed on July 20, 2006, we executed a consent to entry of judgment in favor of the SEC on July 14, 2006 and entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ on July 18, 2006. These two agreements effectively resolved with respect to us the investigations begun by the SEC and by the DOJ in January 2003, regarding allegations that we and certain of our former officers and former directors and one current employee issued, or caused to be issued, false and misleading statements regarding our financial results for 2001 and 2002 and related matters. Under the terms of the consent judgment with the SEC: (i) we paid $750,000 in civil penalties and disgorgement; and (2) we agreed to a stipulated judgment enjoining future violations of securities laws. On April 7, 2006, we entered into an escrow agreement with our outside counsel, pursuant to which we placed the $750,000 anticipated settlement in escrow with our outside counsel at the request of the SEC staff. The funds were released from the escrow to the SEC in August 2006. A liability for the monetary penalty was accrued in 2004.
     On August 9, 2006, the SEC filed civil fraud charges in federal district court against our former CEO and CFO, both of whom were terminated in 2003, but for whom we were contractually obligated to advance legal fees under indemnification agreements. On April 9, 2007, these two former officers were indicted by a federal grand jury in Orange County, California. Our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has funded certain losses, including defense costs, related to these matters. As of March 31, 2008, we had exhausted all remaining available coverage under the applicable excess directors and officers’ liability policy and began funding the payments with our cash reserves. In August and October 2008, we entered into agreements with our former CFO and former CEO, respectively, pursuant to which their indemnification agreements were terminated in exchange for our waiver of certain severance and legal fee reimbursement rights. As a result of these new agreements, we are no longer obligated to pay any future legal costs for these former officers. Under the agreement with our former CEO in October 2008, the agreement also provides that our obligation to pay for legal costs incurred by our former CEO in August 2008 and September 2008 is limited to the amount, if any, that we receive from the former CEO as restitution. These former officers recently entered into plea agreements with the DOJ to resolve the criminal cases against them.
     Other Litigation
     In addition, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various other legal matters, which we believe will not individually or collectively have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and we cannot provide assurance that the outcome of various legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
     Investments
     Included in investments and other assets is $0.9 million for the equity interest that we hold in a privately held medical device company. This investment is recorded at cost since we do not exercise significant influence over the operations of the investee. The independent auditor’s report for the financial statements of the investee as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 included an explanatory paragraph, to the effect that there is substantial doubt about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern. In light of this opinion, we believe that there is a risk that the value of the equity investment in the investee may be subject to impairment and that an impairment charge may be recorded in the future if it is determined that the fair value of the investment has declined below our cost and that the impairment is other-than-temporary in nature.
11. Income Taxes
     We reported no income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 due to our operating losses. Due to our history of operating losses, management has determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized through future earnings. Accordingly, valuation allowances were recorded to fully reserve the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

     On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). As of the adoption date and as of September 30, 2008, we had no unrecognized tax benefits and do not expect a material change in the next 12 months.
     We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. The tax years 2004 through 2007 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
12. Fair Value Measurement
     We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, effective January 1, 2008, for our financial assets and liabilities. The FASB delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until January 1, 2009, with respect to the fair value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not re-measured on a recurring basis (at least annually). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
     SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
     The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. We classify our money market funds as Level 1 assets. As of September 30, 2008, we had $5.0 million in money market securities included in cash and cash equivalents. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly by observable market data. We do not hold any Level 2 instruments. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. We do not hold any Level 3 instruments.
     During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were no re-measurements to fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     On January 1, 2008, we also adopted the provision of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), which allows an entity to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. We have chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

     Cost of revenues for cryoablation disposable product sales and procedure fees are combined for reporting purposes. Sales of cryoablation disposable products and procedure fees both incorporate similar inventory when sold and we do not separately track the cost of disposals sold directly to customers and those consumed in cryoablation procedures. Cryoablation procedure services are provided to medical facilities upon request to facilitate the overall delivery of our technology into the marketplace.
14. Subsequent Event
     On October 2, 2008, our former lead independent director Terrence A. Noonan was named interim president and interim CEO replacing Craig T. Davenport, our former Chairman, President and CEO, who resigned effective September 30, 2008 to assume the CEO position with a privately held healthcare company. In addition, on October 6, 2008 we announced that we are actively evaluating succession alternatives and we continue to explore and evaluate potential strategic opportunities aimed at enhancing stockholder value and solidifying the long-term prospects of our cryoablation technology in the marketplace.
     On October 14, 2008, we entered into an agreement with our former CEO Paul W. Mikus that terminates his indemnification agreement in exchange for our waiver of certain severance and legal fee reimbursement rights. As a result of this new agreement, we are no longer obligated to pay any future legal costs for Mr. Mikus. The agreement also provides that our obligation to pay for legal costs incurred by our former CEO in August 2008 and September 2008 is limited to the amount, if any, that we receive from the former CEO as restitution.
     On November 10, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Galil Medical Ltd., a Israeli medical device corporation (“Galil”), and Orange Acquisitions Ltd., a newly formed Israeli corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”). The agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Galil (the “Merger”), with Galil surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Galil will be converted into the right to receive shares of our common stock, such that upon consummation of the Merger (and prior to consummation of the financing described below), our stockholders will own approximately 52% of our common stock and the former shareholders of Galil will own approximately 48% of our common stock. The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2009.
     On November 10, 2008, concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with certain existing stockholders of the Company and Galil (the “Purchase Agreement”), providing for the sale by us of approximately 16.25 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. The offering proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $16.25 million. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the closing of the financing is subject to the concurrent closing of the Merger and certain other conditions. The issuance of the shares of our common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement is also subject to approval by our stockholders.
15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements. EITF No. 07-1 provides guidance regarding financial statement presentation and disclosure of collaborative arrangements to jointly develop, manufacture, distribute and market a product whereby the collaborators will share, based on contractually defined calculations, the profits or losses from the associated activities. The consensus requires collaborators in such an arrangement to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) other collaborators based on other applicable GAAP or, in the absence of other applicable GAAP, based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or a reasonable, rational and consistently applied accounting policy election. EITF Issue No. 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008, which will be our fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative agreements existing as of the effective date. We have not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting EITF No. 07-1 on our consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. These standards will significantly change the accounting and reporting for business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 141(R) requires companies to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including capitalizing at the acquisition date the fair value of acquired in-process research and development, and re-measuring and writing down these assets, if necessary, in subsequent periods during their development. SFAS No. 141(R) will also impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including

14


Table of Contents

contingent consideration), exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting, and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, indemnification assets, and tax benefits. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively for business combinations that occur on or after January 1, 2009, except that presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160 regarding noncontrolling interests shall be applied retrospectively. We are evaluating the future impacts and disclosures of these standards.
     In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which the cost of a recognized intangible asset is amortized under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The FSP requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset, and is an attempt to improve consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. We are evaluating the impact of the FSP on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
     Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I — Item 1 of this report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
     This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations. There are various factors — many beyond our control — that could cause our actual results or the occurrence or timing of expected events to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are described below and other factors are described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K referred to above. In addition, there are factors not described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that could cause our actual results or the occurrence or timing of expected events to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Overview
     We are an innovative medical device company focused on the development of minimally invasive technologies for tissue and tumor ablation through cryoablation, which is the use of lethal ice to destroy tissue, such as tumors, for therapeutic purposes. We develop and manufacture devices for the treatment of prostate and renal cancers and we believe that our proprietary technologies have broad applications across a number of markets, including the ablation of tumors in the lung and liver and palliative intervention (treatment of pain associated with metastases).
     Today, our FDA-cleared Cryocare Surgical System occupies a growing position in the urological market for treatment of prostate and renal cancers. Because of our initial concentration on prostate and renal cancers, the majority of our sales and marketing resources are directed toward the promotion of our technology to urologists. We also employ a dedicated sales team focused on the interventional radiology market in which our products are used to treat renal, liver and lung cancer and for palliative intervention. In addition to selling our cryoablation disposable products to hospitals and mobile service companies, we contract directly with hospitals for the use of our Cryocare Surgical System and disposable products on a fee-for-service basis. We intend to continue to identify and develop new markets for our cryoablation products and technologies, particularly in the area of tumor ablation.

Strategy and Key Metrics
     Our strategy is to achieve a dominant position in the prostate and renal cancer markets, and further develop and increase the acceptance of our technology in the interventional radiology and oncology markets for treatment of liver and lung cancers and palliative intervention (treatment of pain associated with metastases). At the same time, we seek to achieve penetration across additional markets with our proprietary cryoablation technology.
     The factors driving interest in and utilization of cryoablation include increased awareness and acceptance of cryoablation by industry thought leaders, continued publication of clinical data on the effectiveness of cryoablation, increased awareness among patients of cryoablation and its preferred outcomes as compared to other modalities, the efforts of our sales force and our continued expenditure of funds on patient education and advocacy.
     Our primary objective is to grow market share. We have historically measured market share in terms of the estimated number of domestic cryoablation procedures performed with our Cryocare Surgical System and we calculate them using two primary components. The first component is the actual number of cryoablation cases for which we perform the service element on behalf of the healthcare facility and provide the required disposable products. In the second, we compute a procedure case equivalent based on direct sales of our cryoablation disposable products (without the service element) by using the expected disposable product usage for each procedure for those sales.
     In 2005, we began gradually shifting our revenue model from providing the service component of our cryoablation procedure (revenues from cryoablation procedure fees) to focusing on selling our cryoablation disposable products without responsibility for the service element of the procedure (revenues from sales of cryoablation disposable products), thereby reducing the incremental revenues associated with our business in favor of a more straightforward disposable sales model. We did so recognizing that this strategic business model change would result in a flattened revenue curve until the change was complete since the average revenue per case where we only sell the disposables is less than that for a case where we provide the service component. Because of that, we continued to communicate the estimated number of procedures performed each quarter so that the users of our financial information could monitor market adoption and progress within our markets.
     Today, the transition is largely complete and the remaining transition should be relatively small in future periods. Therefore, we believe that revenue growth is one of our most important business metrics. Because our customers are now directly purchasing and carrying inventories of our disposables and because of the resulting variability of probe use across patients and applications, making precise determinations about how many procedures are performed is increasingly difficult. As a consequence, we decided that, beginning with our operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2007, we will report the number of cryoprobes sold during the period.
     The following table summarizes for the periods presented the total estimated domestic cryoablation procedures our customers performed or which are represented by the procedure case equivalent we computed from sales of our cryoablation disposable products. We also summarize the number of probes sold for each period. We are providing this summary to allow users of the financial information greater clarity regarding the transition from the former metric (procedure growth) we reported to the new metric (revenue growth measured by the number of probes sold) we are now reporting.

     The number of cryoprobes sold represents the domestic sales of cryoprobes during the periods presented. Straight probes are typically, although not always, used in prostate procedures and right-angle probes are typically used in procedures other than prostate procedures.
     As previously reported, effective the three months ended June 30, 2008, we conducted a thorough review of our year-to-date 2008 performance, including the number and types of cases performed by each of our physician customers. This review suggested that urology prostate cancer cases were impacted primarily by the emergence of robotic prostatectomy and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). In the financial results press release that we issued on August 6, 2008, we announced a number of initiatives to help us regain the growth that we have demonstrated in the past. The initiatives include programs intended to impact the number of new physicians trained, increase revenues from our existing customers and communicate directly and more broadly with patients to educate them about the significant benefits of cryoablation. The programs include additional new urology sales personnel, significantly enhanced patient outreach and advertising and programs that assist our existing physician customers in reaching more patients through community-based marketing. An important element of these programs is an increased emphasis on focal cryoablation, since we believe that this is an area where we have a potentially substantial competitive advantage.

     We recognize revenues from sales of Cryocare Surgical Systems and disposable cryoprobes when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Per-procedure fees are recorded when the service has been rendered.
     Costs of revenues consist of fixed and variable costs incurred in the manufacture of our products in addition to depreciation of Cryocare Surgical Systems placed in the field with customers under our placement program or with our sales and service personnel. We incur an additional cost of revenues in the form of a fee for equipment usage and other services when a procedure is performed on a system owned by an unrelated third-party service provider. The fee paid to the third-party service provider is charged to costs of revenues when the procedure is performed and billed.
     Research and development expenses include expenses associated with the design and development of new products as well as enhancements to existing products. We expense research and development costs when incurred. Our research and development efforts are occasionally subject to significant non-recurring expenses and fees that can cause some variability in our quarterly research and development expenses.
     Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries, commissions and related benefits and overhead costs for employees and activities in the areas of selling, marketing and customer service. Expenses associated with advertising, trade shows, promotional and physician training costs related to marketing our products are also classified as selling and marketing expenses.
     General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and related benefits and overhead costs for employees and activities in the areas of legal affairs, finance, information technology, human resources and administration. Fees for attorneys, independent auditors and certain other outside consultants are also included where their services are related to general and administrative activities. This category also includes reserves for bad debt and litigation losses less amounts recoverable under our insurance policies. Litigation reserves and insurance recoveries are recorded when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. In the 2008 period, general and administrative expenses also include certain costs related to potential strategic opportunities.
     We account for equity awards to employees and non-employee directors under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). As of September 30, 2008, there was $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average service period of 0.9 years less any stock options forfeited prior to vesting. Unrecognized compensation for restricted stock units was $1.7 million as of September 30, 2008 (assuming that all service and performance conditions will be met) and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years. Compensation costs related to restricted stock units is recorded over the service period (2007 through 2009) if it is probable the performance conditions (profitability and sales goals) will be satisfied. Stock-based compensation expense recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was a reduction (negative expense) of $0.6 million and expense of $1.4 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The expense for the 2008 three and nine month periods are net of a cumulative adjustment to reverse $1.3 million in previously recorded expense due to a change in vesting probability and forfeitures from terminations.

     The number of cryoprobes sold during the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by approximately 6.7 percent to 10,744 compared to 11,521 probes sold during this same period in 2007. The reduction in revenue was offset by higher average sales price of probes sold and used in procedures, which increased 12.4 percent during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to this same period in 2007. This is largely caused by annual price increases implemented in the second quarter as well as migration to higher priced probes. Sales of straight probes, which are typically, although not always, used in prostate cancer procedures decreased 13.0 percent and right-angle probes, which are typically used in procedures other than prostate cancer procedures, increased 33.2 percent.
     Revenues from sales of Cryocare Surgical Systems decreased as a result of fewer sales of such systems in domestic markets. Cardiac royalty revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007 due to increased sales by the licensee.

     The increase in gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenues) of disposable products and procedure fees was related to continued reductions in manufacturing costs for our cryoablation products. This was offset somewhat by a $0.1 million adjustment to our inventory reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory. The decrease in gross margin of Cryocare Surgical Systems was related to the sale of a reduced cost system during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in cardiac royalties was related to increased sales by the licensee.

Expenses related to clinical studies for the three months ended September 30, 2008 have remained consistent with the same period last year. In both 2007 and 2008, we have focused a significant portion of our research dollars on those areas in which cryoablation research is required to substantiate reimbursement codes and coverage.

Percent of total revenues
    45.0 %     47.8 %                
     The decrease was due to the reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and incentive compensation expense of $0.2 million offset by increases in online and promotional expense of $0.2 million, salaries of $0.1 million as well as $0.1 million in travel related expenses. Included in selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was a negative expense of $41,000 and an expense of $0.3 million, respectively, for stock-based compensation related to stock options, deferred stock units and restricted stock units. The 2008 expense is net of a cumulative adjustment to reverse expenses related to performance awards that are not expected to vest.

Percent of total revenues
    38.8 %     39.3 %                
     The increase was primarily due to higher legal and accounting fees of $1.6 million offset by a reduction of $1.5 million in stock-based compensation expense. Of the $1.6 million increase in legal fees, $0.7 million was related to the legal proceedings of our former CEO and former CFO while the remaining increase of $0.9 million related to legal expenses incurred in relation to potential strategic opportunities. These expenditures were recorded as general and administrative expenses as incurred since any potential transaction is not expected to occur until 2009, and these costs will be required to be expensed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. Effective August 2008, we are no longer required to advance the legal fees of our former CEO and former CFO. In addition, the provision for bad debts in the 2008 period was $0.4 million higher than the third quarter of 2007 due to a favorable revaluation adjustment in the 2007 period of a note receivable we received in connection with our 2006 sale of Timm Medical, our former subsidiary. This increase was offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in incentive compensation primarily as a result of the resignation of our CEO in September 2008. Total stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses related to stock options, deferred stock units and restricted stock units for each of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was a negative expense of $0.5 million and expense of $1.0 million, respectively. The reduction in stock-

     Interest income, net in the 2008 and 2007 periods includes interest income earned from the investment of our cash balances, as well as interest expense related to our line of credit. Interest income decreased in 2008 due to higher cash balances in the third quarter of 2007 resulting from our May 2007 private placement. Additionally, the collection of our note receivable from SRS Medical resulted in no interest income recorded on the note during the three months ended September 30, 2008. Because the note was fully satisfied, we will receive no future interest payments.

     The number of cryoprobes sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by approximately 1.2 percent to 34,075 compared to 34,489 probes sold during this same period in 2007. The reduction in revenue was offset by higher average sales price of probes sold and used in procedures, which increased 7.2 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to this same period in 2007. This is largely caused by annual price increases implemented in the second quarter as well as migration to higher priced probes. Sales of straight probes, which are typically, although not always, used in prostate cancer procedures decreased 6.2 percent and right-angle probes, which are typically used in procedures other than prostate cancer procedures, increased 30.6 percent.
     Revenues from sales of Cryocare Surgical Systems decreased as a result of fewer sales of such systems primarily in domestic markets. Cardiac royalty revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007 due to increased sales by the licensee. Other revenues decreased due to a one-time non-refundable payment received under a term sheet with a potential collaboration partner in 2007. The term sheet was subsequently terminated without the parties reaching a definitive agreement.

     Costs of revenues declined due to decreases in materials, labor and overhead costs of approximately $0.7 million offset by an increase in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.3 million. In addition, this decrease was attributable to a slight change in the mix of our revenues from those where we are responsible for providing cryoablation services to solely selling cryoablation disposable products. This mix shift led to a decrease in the number of cases for which we paid fees to third-party service providers.

     The positive trend in gross margins (gross profit as a percentage of revenues) was partially related to our continual shift from procedures where we bear responsibility for the service element of the procedure to those where we solely sell our cryoablation disposable products. Sales of cryoablation disposable products yield a higher gross margin than procedures performed by third party subcontractors. We also have continued to reduce manufacturing costs for our cryoablation disposable products and surgical systems, while increasing efficiencies in production. In addition, gross margins were negatively affected during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 by transactions where we allowed certain customers to upgrade to our Cryocare CS System from a previous generation of our Cryocare Surgical System with nominal additional payment, resulting in a net loss of $0.2 million.

     The decrease was primarily attributable to a concerted effort to maintain operating expenses at minimum levels and yet support our growth goals to the greatest extent as well as a reduction in the stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million. Expenses related to clinical studies for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 have remained consistent with the same period last year. In both 2008 and 2007, we have focused a significant portion of our research dollars on those areas in which cryoablation research is required to substantiate reimbursement codes and coverage.

     The decrease primarily related to reductions in incentive compensation of $0.5 million, reductions in the training expenses for new physicians of $0.2 million and a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million. The total decrease of $0.8 million was offset by $0.3 million increase in promotional expenses and a $0.2 million increase in consultant expenses related to further development and enhancement of the Cryo On-Line Database (COLD) registry, a database of cryoablation patients and treatment outcomes. Included in selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, deferred stock units and restricted stock units.

     The decrease is primarily due to reductions in stock-based compensation of $1.6 million and incentive compensation of $0.8 million. In addition, expenses recorded for fees to our board of directors decreased by $0.3 million as a result of our decreasing stock price and accounting fees decreased by $0.2 million. Offsetting those decreasing expenses was an increase in legal expenses of $1.8 million in the 2008 period as well as an increase in the provision for bad debts of $0.4 million in the current year period due to a favorable revaluation adjustment in 2007 period of a note receivable we received in connection with our 2006 sale of Timm Medical. In addition, sales and use tax expenses increased $0.4 million as a result of the settlement of liabilities related to previous years that were received from various states in 2007 and did not recur in the 2008 period.
     Of the $2.9 million in legal expenses net of insurance recoveries, $1.8 million related to the legal proceedings of our former CEO and former CFO and $0.9 million related to legal expenses incurred in relation to potential strategic opportunities. These expenditures were recorded as general and administrative expenses as incurred since any potential transaction is not expected to occur until 2009, and these costs will be required to be expensed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. As of March 31, 2008, we have exhausted all remaining insurance coverage for indemnification matters relating to our former executives. In August and October 2008, our indemnification agreements with our former CFO and former CEO, respectively, were terminated. As a result of the termination agreements, we are no longer obligated to pay any future legal expenses.
     Total stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses related to stock options, deferred stock units and restricted stock units for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was $0.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The reduction in stock-based compensation was primarily due to a cumulative adjustment to reverse $1.3 million in expenses related to equity awards that are no longer expected to vest.

     Interest income, net in the 2008 and 2007 periods included interest income earned from the investment of our cash balances, as well as interest expense related to our line of credit. Interest expense paid on our line of credit decreased due to reduced borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Interest income also decreased due to higher cash balances in 2007 resulting from our May 2007 private placement.

     Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.39 per basic and diluted share on 11.9 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $0.59 per basic and diluted share on 10.9 million weighted average shares outstanding during the same period in 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Since inception, we have incurred losses from operations and have reported negative cash flows. As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $194.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million. We do not expect to reach cash flow positive operations for the 2008 and 2009 year, and we expect to continue to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future.
     In July 2006, we resolved the investigations by the SEC and DOJ of our historical accounting and financial reporting (see Note 10 — “Commitments and Contingencies” in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements). In August and October 2008, we entered into agreements with our former CFO and former CEO respectively, pursuant to which their indemnification agreements were terminated in exchange for our waiver of certain severance and legal fee reimbursement rights. As a result of these new agreements, we are no longer obligated to pay any future legal costs for these former officers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred expenses of $1.9 million relating to legal fees of former officers and former directors and recorded insurance recoveries of $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2008, we had exhausted the remaining reimbursement available under this insurance coverage.
     We also face large cash expenditures in the future related to past due state and local taxes, primarily sales and use tax obligations, which we estimate to be approximately $2.1 million. The amount was fully accrued as of September 30, 2008. We are in the process of negotiating resolutions of the past due state and local tax obligations with the applicable tax authorities. However, there is no assurance that these obligations will be reduced as a result of the negotiations or that we will be allowed to pay the amounts due over an extended period of time.
     As previously announced, we continue to explore and evaluate potential strategic opportunities aimed at enhancing stockholder value and solidifying the long-term prospects of our cryoablation technology in the

marketplace. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we have incurred $0.9 million in relation to potential strategic transactions. These expenditures were recorded as general and administrative expenses as incurred since any potential transaction is not expected to occur until 2009, and these costs will be required to be expensed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (R), Business Combinations.
 
     We expect to continue to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives. As disclosed above, on November 10, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, with Galil Medical Ltd., a newly formed Israeli corporation (“Galil”), and Orange Acquisitions Ltd., a private Israeli medical device corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”). The agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Galil, with Galil surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Consummation of such transaction, including post-closing integration costs, or, if this agreement is not consummated, any continued exploration of other strategic alternatives, is expected to continue to require a significant use of cash.
     On November 10, 2008, concurrent with the execution of the Galil merger agreement, we also entered into a stock purchase agreement with certain existing stockholders of the Company and Galil, providing for the sale by us of approximately 16.25 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. The offering proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $16.25 million. The closing of the financing is subject to the concurrent closing of the Merger and certain other conditions.
     We have historically financed our operations and growth through borrowings and equity financings. As discussed in Note 4 — “Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on October 25, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital), which gave us the right to sell to Fusion Capital up to $16.0 million of common stock over a two year period. As long as our share price exceeded $3.00, we could sell common stock to Fusion Capital in $100,000 increments every fourth business day, with additional increments available if the market price per share of our common stock was $4.50 or higher. Through September 30, 2008 we have sold 293,397 shares of stock to Fusion Capital for total gross proceeds of $1.6 million. The most recent sale occurred in May 2007. Since August 2008, our common stock price has been below the minimum threshold of $3.00 and as such, we were unable to sell common stock to Fusion Capital under the agreement. Our agreement with Fusion Capital expired on November 6, 2008. No additional shares were sold to Fusion Capital after September 30, 2008 through the expiration date.
     On May 24, 2007, we sold 1,085,271 shares of our common stock to Frazier Healthcare V, L.P. (Frazier) at a price per share of $6.45, for aggregate proceeds of $7.0 million.
     During the three months ended December 31, 2007, we also received $1.1 million in proceeds from the exercise of options by a former officer for 166,667 shares of common stock at $6.75 per share.
     In the short term, we expect to use existing cash reserves and working capital through the sale of our products to finance our projected operating and cash flow needs, along with continued expense management efforts. However, our cash needs are not entirely predictable and the future availability of funds from our bank is subject to many conditions, including the subjective acceleration clause and other provisions that are predicated on events not within our control. The funds we can borrow are based on eligible trade receivables and inventory as defined. The credit facility includes a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock box with the lender, the proceeds from which will be applied to reduce the outstanding borrowings upon our default or if other conditions are met. The line of credit, as amended, expires on February 26, 2009. As of September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants and had $0.9 million outstanding on the line of credit. During February through May 2007, outstanding advances on the line of credit exceeded 50 percent of the accounts receivable borrowing base referred to above. As required by the agreement, our lock-box proceeds were applied daily to reduce the outstanding advances and we re-borrowed the amount subject to the lender’s approval. In June 2007, the outstanding advances were reduced to less than 50 percent of the receivable borrowing base, and we were no longer required to repay and re-borrow funds on a daily basis as of July 13, 2007.
     Our cash needs are not entirely predictable and the future availability of funds from our bank is subject to many conditions, including certain subjective acceleration clauses and other provisions, some of which are predicated on events that are not within our control. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the availability of these capital resources or that they will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations to the point where our operations will generate positive cash flows on a consistent basis. In light of the investments required to fund our operations and growth initiatives, we will continue to assess the adequacy of our capital resources and may use both existing and new sources of capital to finance the growth of the business. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital during 2009 to fund its ongoing operations. Should the financing be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our invested cash without significantly increasing risk of loss. Our financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, minority investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and bank debt. As of September 30, 2008, the carrying values of our financial instruments approximated their fair values. Our practice is not to enter into derivative financial instruments. In addition, we do not enter into any futures or forward contracts and therefore we do not have significant market risk exposure with respect to commodity prices.

     As of September 30, 2008, $5.0 million of our cash is invested in a money market mutual fund (the Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves) that includes in its investment portfolio commercial paper, time deposits, certificates of deposits, bank notes, corporate bonds and notes and U.S. government agency securities. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of the investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose our principal if the underlying securities suffer losses. As of September 30, 2008, the fund reported that certain securities within the portfolio are illiquid, in default, under restructuring or have been subject to a ratings downgrade. However, the fund continues to report a per share net asset value (NAV) of $1.00, representing the price at which investors buy (“bid price”) and sell (“redemption price”) fund shares from and to the fund company. The NAV is computed once at the end of each trading day based on the closing market prices of the portfolio’s securities. We believe that our investment has not been impaired and that we can withdraw our funds at any time without restriction. Effective September 2008, the federal government provided a guarantee on all publicly traded or regulated money market mutual funds through December 18, 2008 which may be extended through September 18, 2009 at the discretion of the U.S. Treasury Department. We will continue to monitor the value of the fund periodically for potential indicators of impairment.
     Although we transact our business in U.S. dollars, future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products. However, we do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk and have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
     As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
     (b) Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter for 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     Please refer to the legal proceedings described in Part I, Item 3, in the Form 10-K that we filed on March 17, 2008 and in Part II, Item 1 of the Form 10-Q that we filed on May 7, 2008. In August and October 2008, we entered into new agreements with our former CFO and former CEO, respectively, pursuant to which their indemnification agreements were terminated in exchange for our waiver of certain severance and legal fee reimbursement rights. As a result of these new agreements, we are no longer obligated to pay any future legal costs for these former officers. These former officers recently entered into plea agreements with the DOJ to resolve the criminal cases against them.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     Please see our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008 that includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Form 10-K, except for deleting the risk factor entitled, “We may incur significant expenses in the future as a result of our obligation to pay legal fees for and otherwise indemnify former officers” and updating the liquidity risk factor as set forth below and adding the risk factor regarding potential impairment included below.
We may require additional financing in the future to sustain our operations and without it we may not be able to continue operations.
     We had an operating cash flow deficit of $4.6 million, $13.6 million and $14.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. We have an operating cash flow deficit of $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million.
     On May 25, 2007, we sold $7.0 million in stock to Frazier Healthcare V, L.P. (Frazier). In addition, through September 30, 2008, we had sold $1.6 million in stock under our $16.0 million common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital), which expired on November 6, 2008. The most recent sale to Fusion Capital occurred in May 2007.
     The availability of funds under our $4.0 million credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank is subject to many conditions, some of which are predicated on events that are not within our control. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that these capital resources will be available or will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.
     Under our credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, funds available for borrowing are based on eligible trade receivables and inventory as defined. The credit agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lockbox with the lender to where all receivable collections are deposited. Under the subjective acceleration clause, the lender may accelerate repayment of amounts borrowed and/or cease making advances to us if it determines that a material adverse change has occurred in our business or our ability to meet our obligations under the agreement. In addition, the proceeds from the lock box will be applied to reduce the outstanding borrowings upon an event of default (including the occurrence of a material adverse change) or if trigger events occur. Our ability to access funds under the credit agreement will be subject to our ability to meet all restrictive covenants and comply with all representations and warranties. The credit agreement currently expires February 26, 2009.
     In light of the investments required to fund our operations and our growth initiatives, we will continue to assess the adequacy of our capital resources and may use both existing and new sources of capital to finance the growth of the business. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital during 2009 to fund its ongoing operations. Should the financing be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The value of the equity that we hold in a private company may be subject to impairment.
     Included in investments and other assets is $0.9 million for the equity interest that we hold in a privately held medical device company. This investment is recorded at cost since we do not exercise significant influence over the operations of the investee. The independent auditor’s report for the financial statements of the investee as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 included an explanatory paragraph, to the effect that there is substantial doubt about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern. In light of this opinion, we believe that there is a risk that the value of the equity investment in the investee may be subject to impairment and that an impairment charge may be recorded in the future if it is determined that the fair value of the investment has declined below our cost and that the impairment is other-than-temporary in nature.
