<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over 60 million Americans
384
have one or more types of cardiovascular disease&#151;diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease is the
385
number one cause of death in the United States and is replacing infectious disease as the world&#146;s pre-eminent health risk.
386
Advances in medicine have enabled physicians to perform an increasing number of diagnostic and therapeutic treatments of
387
cardiovascular disease using minimally invasive methods, such as catheters placed inside the arteries, instead of highly invasive
388
open surgery. Cardiologists and radiologists use diagnostic procedures, such as angiography, to confirm, and interventional
389
procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting, to treat diseases of the coronary and peripheral arteries. Based on industry
390
statistics, we estimate that cardiologists and radiologists performed over nine million diagnostic and interventional
391
catheterization procedures worldwide in 2005. Often times, these procedures are performed to remove blood clots or plaque which
392
have been generated and deposited inside the patient&#146;s artery and are an impediment to normal blood flow. The number of
393
catheterization procedures performed is expected to grow by more than 5% each year for the next three years as the incidence of
394
cardiovascular disease continues to increase. The overall interventional medical device market in 2005 exceeded $5 billion
395
worldwide. </FONT></P>

406
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each procedure using a
407
catheter requires a puncture in an artery, usually the femoral artery in the groin area and sometimes the radial artery in the
408
wrist of the patient to gain access for the catheter. The catheter then is deployed through an introducer sheath and into the
409
vessel to be diagnosed or treated. Upon completion of the procedure and removal of the catheter, the physician must seal this
410
puncture in the artery and the tissue tract that leads from the skin surface to the artery to stop bleeding. The traditional
411
method for sealing the puncture site has been a manual process whereby a healthcare professional applies direct pressure to the
412
puncture site, sometimes using a sand bag or a large C-clamp, for 20 minutes to an hour in order to form a blood clot. The
413
healthcare professional then monitors the patient, who must remain immobile in order to prevent dislodging of the clot, for an
414
additional four to 48 hours. </FONT></P>

compression generally experience significant pain and discomfort during compression of the puncture site and during the period in

420
catheterization procedure. In addition, patients can develop a substantial coagulated mass of blood, or hemotoma, around the
421
puncture site, limiting patient mobility for up to six weeks following the procedure. Finally, the need for healthcare personnel
422
to provide compression and the use of hospital beds during the recovery period results in substantial costs to the institution,
423
which, under virtually all current healthcare payment systems, are not separately reimbursed. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Until 1996, manual
427
compression was used following virtually all catheterization procedures. In late 1995, the first vascular sealing device which did
428
not rely on compression was introduced in the United States. In addition to our Duett sealing device, five other invasive sealing
429
devices have received approval from the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and are currently being marketed around the world. In
430
the aggregate, over $400 million of the four FDA-approved invasive sealing devices were sold worldwide in 2005, compared to less
431
than $20 million in 1996. In addition to invasive (below the skin surface) sealing devices, starting in 2000, non-invasive
432
&#147;patches&#148; had begun to be used as an assist to manual compression following catheterizations. Non-invasive patches are
433
used by physicians who (principally due to cost, complexity or risk of complications) do not wish to use invasive sealing devices,
434
and for those patients who are contra-indicated for an invasive sealing device. Based on the number of catheterization procedures
435
performed annually by cardiologists and radiologists, industry sources report that the total market opportunity for vascular

sealing devices (invasive and non-invasive) is more than $1 billion annually. </FONT></P>

535
varicose veins. Left untreated, varicose veins can result in serious clinical consequences, including limited mobility and venous
536
stasis ulcers. Historically, an invasive surgical procedure known as vein stripping was the only treatment for severe varicose
537
veins. While vein stripping is still performed on over 100,000 patients each year in the United States, since 2002 a non-surgical
538
procedure using endovenous laser energy to treat and close the diseased vein has become the preferred alternative. Recent clinical
539
data on endovenous laser therapy has demonstrated excellent clinical results and outstanding patient satisfaction. During the

established favorable reimbursement rates for the endovenous laser procedure starting January 1, 2005. Private insurance also has

delivery mechanism with a biological procoagulant mixture, which we believe offers advantages over both manual compression and
566
competitive vascular sealing devices. We began selling our Duett sealing device in Europe in February 1998 and in the United

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe our Duett sealing
575
device (1) offers a complete seal of the puncture site with nothing left behind in the artery, (2) is an easy-to-use system and
576
(3) minimizes patient discomfort and permits early ambulation. Our product uses a balloon catheter, a device already familiar to
577
cardiologists and radiologists, which is inserted through the introducer sheath that is already in the patient. The inflated
578
balloon serves as a temporary mechanical seal, preventing the flow of blood from the artery. Our biological procoagulant, which is
579
a proprietary mixture of collagen, thrombin and diluents, is then delivered to the puncture site, stimulating rapid clotting and
580
creating a complete seal of both the arterial puncture and the tissue tract from the artery to the skin surface. The
581
blood-clotting speed and strength of thrombin enables the use of the Duett sealing device even in the presence of powerful
582
anti-clotting medications, such as ReoPro&reg;, increasingly used in interventional catheterization procedures. With our Duett
583
sealing device, nothing is left behind in the artery, so immediate reaccess of the site, if necessary, is possible, and the
584
potential for infection is minimized. </FONT></P>

D-Stat Flowable worldwide in the first quarter of 2002. Currently, the approved clinical indications for the D-Stat Flowable are
614
limited to topical bleeding and blood &#147;oozing&#148; following percutaneous procedures. We believe these indications are but a
615
small fraction of the total potential market for the D-Stat Flowable. In October 2005 we announced the results of our 269 patient
616
clinical study of the use of the D-Stat Flowable in the hemostasis of prepectoral pockets created in pacemaker and defibrillator
617
implantations. The primary endpoints of the Pocket Protector study were a comparison of clinically relevant pocket hematoma
618
formation and the rate of major adverse events. The results showed a 48% reduction in hematoma formation observed in the
619
investigation group compared to the control group and a low overall device or procedure-related major event rate. We expect to
620
submit the premarket approval application (PMA) to the FDA during the first quarter of 2006 and we expect to obtain approval by
621
the end of the third quarter of 2006. We estimate that the U.S. market opportunity for this prepectoral pocket indication is
622
greater than 100,000 procedures or $10 million annually. We also believe that the D-Stat Flowable has application for use to seal

624
opportunity for D-Stat Flowable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the end of the third
631
quarter of 2004 we received regulatory clearance in the United States for the Langston dual lumen pigtail catheter. The Langston
632
catheter is used for the precise measurement of intravascular pressure gradients, primarily measured to diagnose aortic valve
633
stenosis. We believe our Langston catheter is the only dual lumen pigtail catheter on the U.S. market that can be used for this
634
intended indication. During 2005 we received approval for additional sizes and configurations of the Langston catheter product
635
line. We believe the U.S. market opportunity for the Langston catheter product line is $10 million annually. </FONT></P>

639
quarter of 2005 we received regulatory clearance in the United States for the Twin-Pass dual access catheter and Skyway support
640
catheter, both of which we expect to launch in the first quarter of 2006. The Twin-Pass is a two lumen catheter designed to be
641
used in conjunction with steerable guidewires to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature and
642
for use during procedures utilizing two guidewires. The Skyway support catheter can be used in the support of guidewires during
643
difficult lesion crossing procedures and in the exchange of guide wires in an interventional procedure. We believe that both of
644
these products address market opportunities of between $1 million and $5 million annually within interventional cardiology.

2005 we launched the MAX-Support abdominal retraction belt. This product is a tape-free retraction system to expose the femoral

artery puncture site in obese patients. Nationwide, approximately 7% of catheterization laboratory patients require taping of
662
their belly apron to allow visualization of the femoral crease for the purpose of gaining access for the catheterization. The

marketing strategy has been to sell to interventional cardiologists and interventional radiologists through established

Fine Chemicals, an operating division of Sigma-Aldrich, Inc. (Sigma) for the supply of thrombin to us. Pursuant to the terms of

the agreement, we will be paying for certain development costs of Sigma to allow Sigma to produce thrombin. The payments are based

on certain milestones over a two year period. The initial contract term ends after ten years and is automatically extended for up
813
to five additional successive one year terms unless one party delivers notice of termination at least one year prior to the
814
scheduled termination of the agreement. During the term of the agreement, Sigma has agreed not to sell thrombin of the type

developed for us under the agreement in or as a component of a hemostatic product for medical use. We do not have any minimum
816
purchase requirements under the agreement; however, if we purchase less than three lots of thrombin in any year then (1) Sigma

various suppliers and rely on single sources for several parts of our products. In September 1998 we entered into a ten year,
912
sole-source supply agreement with our collagen supplier, Davol Inc., that provides for a fixed price based on volume purchases
913
which is adjusted annually for increases in the Department of Labor&#146;s employer&#146;s cost index. We purchase our
914
requirements for thrombin (a component in the Duett and in all of the D-Stat products) under a Purchase Agreement dated June 10,
915
1999 with a subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The agreement provides for a fixed price, with adjustments based on the
916
supplier&#146;s manufacturing costs and the supplier&#146;s annual percentage increase in the wholesale price of thrombin. The
917
agreement expired on May 29, 2005. Prior to the expiration of the agreement, we issued purchase orders for approximately $3.5
918
million of thrombin to benefit from the pricing provisions of the agreement. We believe that these purchases will satisfy our
919
thrombin requirements through at least the end of 2007. We have taken delivery of approximately $1.4 million of the $3.5 million
920
of King thrombin through December 31, 2005 and we expect the remaining $2.1 million of thrombin to be delivered by the end of the
921
third quarter of 2006. To date, we have not experienced any significant adverse effects resulting from shortages of components.

Class I devices are subject to general controls such as labeling, adherence to good manufacturing practices and maintenance of

require clinical testing prior to approval. Class III devices are subject to the highest level of controls because they are used

approval and generally require a premarket approval (PMA) application prior to their sale. </FONT></P>

1220
additional intellectual property claims in the future related to our products. Our defense of any intellectual property claims

filed in the future, regardless of the merits of the complaint, could divert the attention of our technical and management

protection for certain aspects of our technology. We typically require our employees, consultants and vendors for major components

to them. These agreements generally provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the other party during
1230
the course of that party&#146;s relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties, except in

working capital. We have no commitments for additional funding and so our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs is
1471
uncertain. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our shareholders may experience significant
1472
dilution. Furthermore, additional financing may not be available when needed or, if available, financing may not be on terms

be unable to develop or market our products or unable to take advantage of business opportunities, or we may be required to

significantly curtail our business operations. </FONT></P>

device industry is characterized by numerous patent filings and frequent and substantial intellectual property litigation.
1506
Companies in the interventional medical device industry have employed intellectual property litigation in an attempt to gain a
1507
competitive advantage. We have been subject to two intellectual property lawsuits concerning our Duett sealing device. Although we
1508
have settled both of these intellectual property lawsuits, it is possible that additional claims relating to the Duett could be
1509
brought in the future. We also are the subject of three intellectual property lawsuits concerning our Vari-Lase products. In
1510
addition, while we do not believe that any of our new products infringes any existing patent, it is highly likely that we will
1511
become subject to intellectual property claims with respect to our new products in the future. Intellectual property litigation in

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On December 11, 2003, we and
2098
one of our non-officer employees were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by Diomed, Inc. in the United States District Court
2099
for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges that in marketing our Vari-Lase endovenous laser procedure kit we engaged
2100
in false advertising and infringed a registered trademark of Diomed. The complaint also alleges that the non-officer employee, who
2101
previously worked for a company that conducted business with Diomed, improperly utilized trade secrets of Diomed in developing our
2102
Vari-Lase procedure kit. The complaint requests monetary damages and an injunction on the sale of our Vari-Lase procedure kit. We
2103
believe that the allegations included in the complaint are wholly without merit. On July 13, 2005, the court held a hearing on our
2104
motion for summary judgment, in which we sought dismissal of all claims. On January 31, 2006, the Court granted our motion for
2105
summary judgement dismissing all counts of Diomed&#146;s complaint with the exception of one trade secret misappropriation count
2106
and a portion of two other counts to the extent they are based on alleged trade secret misappropriation. Our couterclaim against
2107
Diomed was not dismissed. The Court has scheduled a status conference for this case on March 2, 2006. Our insurance carrier
2108
initially accepted our tender of this claim and has paid for the expenses incurred in defending this lawsuit. After the summary
2109
judgment hearing, the insurance company notified us that they were withdrawing coverage prospectively, effective November 6, 2005.
2110
It is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of this litigation, including whether it will affect our ability to sell our
2111
Vari-Lase procedure kit, or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss. </FONT></P>

2127
infringe on a single patent held by Diomed, Inc. and asked for relief in the form of an injunction that would prevent us from
2128
selling our Vari-Lase products, compensatory and treble damages caused by the manufacture and sale of our product, and other
2129
costs, disbursements and attorneys&#146; fees. On April 12, 2005, the Judge entered a Memorandum and Order on Claims Construction
2130
from the Markman hearing phase of the litigation. In the Order, the Judge held that in order to violate the Diomed patent, a
2131
competing method must deliberately put the tip of the laser fiber in physical contact with the wall of the vein, must drain blood
2132
from the vein, must compress the vein and must maintain vein wall contact as the laser energy is delivered. We believe that our
2133
Vari-Lase products are not used in this method, and thus we do not believe the litigation has merit. On December 21, 2005, we
2134
filed our motion for summary judgment, in which we seek dismissal of all claims. It is not possible to predict the timing or
2135
outcome of this litigation, including whether it will affect our ability to sell their Vari-Lase products, or to estimate the
2136
amount or range of potential loss. </FONT></P>

2140
named as one of three defendants in an intellectual property lawsuit brought by VNUS Medical Technologies, Inc. in the United

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We purchase our requirements
3132
for thrombin (a component in the Duett and in all of the D-Stat products) under a Purchase Agreement dated June 10, 1999 with a
3133
subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The agreement provides for a fixed price, with adjustments based on the supplier&#146;s
3134
manufacturing costs and the supplier&#146;s annual percentage increase in the wholesale price of thrombin. The agreement expired
3135
on May 29, 2005. Prior to the expiration of the agreement, we issued purchase orders for approximately $3.5 million of thrombin to
3136
benefit from the pricing provisions of the agreement, which thrombin we expect to be delivered through the third quarter of 2006.
3137
We believe that these purchases will satisfy our thrombin requirements through at least the end of 2007. We have taken delivery of
3138
approximately $1.4 million of the $3.5 million of King thrombin through December 31, 2005. We have executed a supply agreement for
3139
a new source of thrombin, which we plan to fully qualify and bring through the regulatory process by the second quarter of 2007 at
3140
a cumulative cost of approximately $4.3 million in development and qualification expenditures, of which approximately $2.5 million
3141
of the expenses remain and are projected to be incurred in 2006. We have purchased $700,000 in capital expenditures out of our
3142
total planned capital expenditures of $800,000. We also have purchased $1.7 million of thrombin from our new supplier as of the
3143
end of 2005, which fulfills our thrombin purchase requirement. With the thrombin already purchased and our planned additional King
3144
thrombin purchases, we expect our inventory to peak at approximately $8.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2006, and
3145
then decrease throughout the remainder of 2006 and 2007 as the King thrombin is used in our products. This investment, while
3146
substantial, is within our projected capital resources and we expect will allow us to introduce new thrombin-based products as
3147
well as control our long-term cost of thrombin. The failure by us to complete our thrombin qualification project on time and on
3148
budget may affect our gross margins on our Duett, D-Stat Flowable and D-Stat Dry products and could therefore seriously harm our
3149
business. </FONT></P>

&#147;Revenue Recognition,&#148; which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive

3329
product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. We recognize revenue as products are shipped based on FOB shipping

over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
4659
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
4660
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
4661
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
4662
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
4663
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
4664
financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
4668
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
4669
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
4670
the policies and procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P>

6290
of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, <I>Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees</I>, and related interpretations.
6291
No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss, as all options granted under the plan had exercise prices
6292
equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net
6293
loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R to stock-based employee

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At December 31, 2005, the
6802
Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $58,175,000 for federal income tax purposes that are available to
6803
offset future taxable income and begin to expire in the year 2013. Included in the U.S. amount are approximately $2.2 million of
6804
deductions resulting from disqualifying dispositions of stock options. When these deductions from disqualifying dispositions are
6805
realized for financial statement purposes they will not result in a reduction in income tax expense, rather the benefit will be
6806
recorded as additional paid-in-capital. At December 31, 2005, the Company also had federal and Minnesota research and development
6807
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2,086,000, which begin to expire in the year 2013. At December 31, 2005, the Company
6808
has foreign tax loss carryforwards of approximately $2,467,000 that do not expire. No benefit has been recorded for any loss or
6809
credit carryforwards, and utilization in future years may be limited under Sections&nbsp;382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code
6810
if significant ownership changes have occurred or from future tax legislation changes. The Company performed a section 382 study
6811
during the third quarter 2005 on their federal net operating loss carryforward and the Company concluded that they will have no
6812
limitations on the net operating loss carryforward. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has a stock option and stock award plan (the Stock Option Plan)
6989
which provides for the granting of incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors,
6990
and consultants. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had reserved 3,900,000&nbsp;shares of common stock under the Stock Option
6991
Plan. Under the Stock Option Plan, incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market
6992
value of the Company&#146;s common stock on the grant date. The exercise price of a nonqualified option granted under the Stock
6993
Option Plan must not be less than 50% of the fair market value of the Company&#146;s common stock on the grant date. Prior to the
6994
initial public offering in July 2000, the Board of Directors determined the fair value of the common shares underlying options by
6995
assessing the business progress of the Company as well as the market conditions for medical device companies and other external
6996
factors. The options expire on the date determined by the Board of Directors but may not extend more than ten years from the grant
6997
date. The Stock Option Plan also permits the granting of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other stock-based
6998
awards. The incentive stock options generally become exercisable over a four-year period and the nonqualified stock options
6999
generally become exercisable over a two-year period. Unexercised options are canceled 90 days after termination of employment and
7000
become available under the Stock Option Plan. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In the third quarter of 2002, the Company offered to exchange for its current
7015
employees, other than the Chief Executive Officer, any outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company&#146;s common stock
7016
under the Stock Option Plan with an exercise price of at least $3.00 per share for new options the Company would grant under the
7017
plan. The new options were granted on February 18, 2003, which was six months and two business days after the date the options
7018
were exchanged. The Company granted 429,000 new options under the Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $0.84. The number of
7019
shares granted to each participating option holder was the number of shares subject to the eligible options tendered by such
7020
option holder. A stock option holder had to be employed by the Company through February 18, 2003 in order to be eligible to
7021
receive the new options. As a result of this exchange of options, 467,000&nbsp;options with an average price of $6.80 were
7022
canceled. </FONT></P>

Any significant component delay or interruption could require the Company to qualify new sources of supply, if available, and

their requirements for thrombin (a component in the Duett and D-Stat products) under a Purchase Agreement dated June 10, 1999 with

a subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King). The agreement provides for a fixed price, with adjustments based on the

supplier&#146;s manufacturing costs and the supplier&#146;s annual percentage increase in the wholesale price of thrombin. The

agreement expired on May 29, 2005. In anticipation of the agreement expiring, the Company submitted purchase orders to King for
7510
approximately $3.5 million of thrombin to benefit from the pricing provisions of the agreement. The Company expects the final lots
7511
of thrombin totaling $2.1 million to be delivered during the third quarter of 2006. The Company believes that these purchases will

7519
Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals, an operating division of Sigma-Aldrich, Inc. (Sigma) for the supply of thrombin to the Company.
7520
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company will be paying for certain development costs of Sigma to allow Sigma to
7521
produce thrombin. The payments are based on achievement of certain milestones over a two year period. The contract terminates
7522
after ten years and is automatically extended for up to five additional successive one year terms unless one party delivers notice
7523
of termination at least one year prior to the scheduled termination of the agreement. During the term of the contract, Sigma has
7524
agreed not to sell thrombin of the type developed for the Company under the contract in or as a component of a hemostatic product
7525
for medical use. The Company does not have any minimum purchase requirements under the contract; however, if the Company purchases
7526
less than three lots of thrombin in any year then (i) Sigma will be released from its agreement not to sell thrombin in or as a
7527
component of a hemostatic product for medical use, and (ii) Sigma will have the right to terminate the contract on 30 days notice.

7611
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On December 11, 2003, the Company and a non-officer employee of the Company
7612
were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by Diomed, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of
7613
Massachusetts. The complaint alleges that in marketing the Company&#146;s Vari-Lase endovenous laser procedure kit the Company
7614
engaged in false advertising and infringed a registered trademark of Diomed. The complaint also alleges that the non-officer
7615
employee, who previously worked for a company that conducted business with Diomed, improperly utilized trade secrets of Diomed in
7616
developing the Company&#146;s Vari-Lase procedure kit. The complaint requests monetary damages and an injunction on the sale of
7617
the Company&#146;s Vari-Lase procedure kit. The Company believes that the allegations included in the complaint are wholly without
7618
merit. On July 13, 2005, the court held a hearing on the Company&#146;s motion for summary judgment, in which the Company sought
7619
dismissal of all claims. On January 31, 2006, the Court granted the Company&#146;s motion for summary judgement dismissing all
7620
counts of Diomed&#146;s complaint with the exception of one trade secret misappropriation count and a portion of two other counts
7621
to the extent they are based on alleged trade secret misappropriation. The Company&#146;s counterclaim against Diomed was not
7622
dismissed. The Court has scheduled a status conference for this case on March 2, 2006. The Company&#146;s insurance carrier
7623
initially accepted the Company&#146;s tender of this claim and has paid for the expenses incurred in defending this lawsuit. After
7624
the summary judgment hearing, the insurance company notified the Company that they were withdrawing coverage prospectively,
7625
effective November 6, 2005. It is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of this litigation, including whether it will
7626
affect the Company&#146;s ability to sell our Vari-Lase procedure kit, or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss.

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On March 4, 2004, the Company was named as the defendant in an intellectual
7643
property lawsuit brought by Diomed, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint
7644
requested a judgment that the Company&#146;s Vari-Lase procedure kit and Vari-Lase laser console infringe on a single patent held
7645
by Diomed, Inc. and asked for relief in the form of an injunction that would prevent the Company from selling their Vari-Lase
7646
products, compensatory and treble damages caused by the manufacture and sale of the Company&#146;s product, and other costs,
7647
disbursements and attorneys&#146; fees. On April 12, 2005, the Judge entered a Memorandum and Order on Claims Construction from
7648
the Markman hearing phase of the litigation. In the Order, the Judge held that in order to violate the Diomed patent, a competing
7649
method must deliberately put the tip of the laser fiber in physical contact with the wall of the vein, must drain blood from the
7650
vein, must compress the vein and must maintain vein wall contact as the laser energy is delivered. The Company believes that their
7651
Vari-Lase products are not used in this method, and thus the Company does not believe the litigation has merit. It is not possible
7652
to predict the timing or outcome of this litigation, including whether it will affect the Company&#146;s ability to sell their
7653
