NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)



NOTE 1Organization and Basis of Presentation:



Organization



FoxHollow Technologies, Inc. (the Company) designs, develops, manufactures and sells medical devices primarily for the treatment of peripheral
artery disease (PAD). PAD results from the accumulation of plaque in the arteries. The Company sells the SilverHawk Plaque Excision System (SilverHawk), a minimally-invasive single-use catheter system designed for removal of
plaque from arteries. Plaque removal re-opens previously narrowed arteries, allowing increased blood flow to tissue and organs. In June 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted 510(k) clearance to market the SilverHawk
for treatment of atherosclerosis in the peripheral vasculature. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 24, 1996. On October 28, 2004, the Company completed an initial public offering of 4.5 million shares of its common
stock at $14.00 per share. Additionally, on October 29, 2004, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 675,000 shares at $14.00 per share. Proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
but before expenses were $67.4 million.



Basis of Presentation



The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2005, or for any future period. These condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004. Certain items in the prior periods financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current periods format.



NOTE 2Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:



The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its interpretations and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosurean amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant between the fair
value of the Companys stock and the exercise price. Employee stock-based compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying options.

The fair values of
option grants and the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) were estimated as of the grant date or purchase date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was originally developed for use in estimating the fair
value of traded options and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. The Companys stock options and ESPP have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (revised 2004), (SFAS No.
123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to measure all stock-based compensation awards, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair value method and record such expense in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R), as amended,
is now effective for public companies for annual, rather than interim, periods that begin after June 15, 2005, which requires the Company to adopt this standard commencing January 1, 2006 (see Note 7).



The amounts disclosed above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
that will be expensed upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment. Compensation expense calculated under SFAS No. 123(R) may differ from amounts currently disclosed within these footnotes based on changes in the fair value of
the Companys common stock, changes in the number of options granted or the terms of such options, the treatment of tax benefits and changes in interest rates or other factors. In addition, upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company may
choose to use a different valuation model to value the compensation expense associated with employee stock options.



The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods, or Services, which require that such equity instruments are recorded at
their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest. Non-employee stock-based compensation expense is being recognized on a straight-line
basis over the vesting periods of the related options, generally two years.

NOTE 3Net Loss Per Common Share:



Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding, excluding shares of common stock subject to repurchase, during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including options, warrants, and
convertible preferred stock. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 7Recent Accounting
Pronouncements:



In November 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends APB No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify
that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys financial statements.



In December 2004, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, (SFAS 153). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that
should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will not have a
material impact on our financial statements.



In December 2004,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (revised 2004), (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to measure all stock-based compensation awards, including grants of employee stock options, using a
fair value method and record such expense in

the financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) requires additional accounting related to the
income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. SFAS No. 123(R) as amended, is now effective for public companies for annual, rather than interim, periods that begin after
June 15, 2005, which will require the Company to adopt this standard commencing January 1, 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, TOPIC 14: Share-based
payment. SAB No. 107 addresses the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SAB No. 107 was effective
immediately. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting these new standards.



NOTE 8Subsequent Event:



In July 2005, the Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease for its Edison Way facility that expires on February 28, 2007, with the first payment scheduled to commence on September 1, 2005. In conjunction with the facility lease,
the Company paid a security deposit in the amount of $9,000, which will be classified as other long term assets. In addition to monthly base rent, the Company is subject to utility and maintenance fees.

Company Description. We design, develop, manufacture and sell medical devices primarily for
the treatment of peripheral artery disease. PAD results from the accumulation of plaque in arteries, most commonly occurring in the pelvis and legs. Plaque accumulation, known as atherosclerosis, causes the narrowing of arteries, thereby reducing
the flow of oxygenated blood to tissue and organs. Left untreated, PAD increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, amputation and death. Our first product, the SilverHawk Plaque Excision System, is a minimally-invasive catheter system that treats
PAD by removing plaque in order to reopen narrowed or blocked arteries. The SilverHawk consists of two primary components, a low profile catheter and a battery-driven control unit that connects to the catheter, both of which are disposable. In June
2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, granted us 510(k) clearance to market the SilverHawk in the United States for treatment of atherosclerosis in the peripheral vasculature, which includes arteries outside the heart and brain.



From our inception in 1996 until July 2003, our operations
consisted primarily of start-up activities, including developing the SilverHawk, recruiting personnel and raising capital. We received clearance from FDA to market the SilverHawk for treatment of atherosclerosis in the peripheral vasculature in June
2003. In July 2003, we began to build our U.S. direct sales organization and initiated sales of the SilverHawk to several large medical centers in the United States. In January 2004, we commenced full commercial introduction of the SilverHawk in the
United States. The SilverHawk is not approved in the United States for use in the coronary or carotid arteries. We received our CE Mark to market the SilverHawk for coronary applications in October 2002 and for peripheral applications in May 2003.
We began commercial sales in Europe in November 2002. To date, our sales outside of the United States have been limited, and we expect our international sales to remain limited for the foreseeable future.



We are expanding our direct sales force in the United States to further
penetrate the PAD market. We have increased our sales force from 69 direct sales representatives as of December 31, 2004 to 119 as of June 30, 2005, and we expect to continue to grow our sales force. We market the SilverHawk through our direct sales
force in the United States primarily to interventional cardiologists, as well as to vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists. We sell the SilverHawk to over 800 current hospital customers in the United States. No single customer accounted
for more than 5% of our net revenue in the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2005. Reimbursement claims for the SilverHawk procedure are typically submitted by the hospital and physician to Medicare or other third-party payors using
established billing codes for atherectomy procedures.



We
manufacture the SilverHawk with parts manufactured in-house and components supplied by vendors, which we then assemble, test and package. We offer six different SilverHawk catheters of various diameters and tip lengths to accommodate differing
artery sizes and amounts of plaque.



For the six months ended
June 30, 2005, we generated net revenue of $50.2 million and a net loss of $10.0 million. As of June 30, 2005, our accumulated deficit was $83.5 million. As of June 30, 2005, our cash, cash equivalents and investment balances totaled $58.3 million.
On October 28, 2004, we completed an initial public offering of 4.5 million shares of our common stock. Additionally, on October 29, 2004, the underwriters of the offering exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 675,000 shares. Proceeds
from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses were $67.4 million.

Net
Revenue. Net revenue is derived from sales of the SilverHawk. Net revenue was $28.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net revenue is
attributable to an increase in the number of SilverHawk devices sold as well as a 36% increase in the average sales price per unit. The increase in the number of devices sold is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of hospital
customers purchasing our devices as we have expanded our sales force. We expect our net revenue to increase as we continue to expand our sales force to increase penetration of the U.S. PAD market.



Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of
material, labor and overhead costs. Cost of revenue was $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number
of SilverHawk devices sold. As a percentage of net revenue, cost of revenue was 31% in the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 81% in the three months ended June 30, 2004. Primary factors that contributed to the decrease in the cost of
revenue as a percentage of net revenue included improved absorption of manufacturing overhead costs associated with increased production volumes, improved purchasing efficiencies for supplies and materials, and improved labor and manufacturing
efficiencies. We expect that cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue will continue to decrease as we implement cost reduction initiatives and benefit from economies of scale.



Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and material costs
within our product development, regulatory and clinical organizations and the costs of clinical studies. Research and development expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an $888,000 increase in personnel related costs and a $307,000 increase in stock-based compensation offset by a $455,000 decrease in cost of materials used in product development. As a
percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses were 9% in the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 23% in the three months ended June 30, 2004. In future periods, we expect research and development expenses to grow in
absolute terms but remain consistent as a percentage of net revenue as we enhance the capabilities of the SilverHawk and explore new applications and indications for our plaque excision technology platform.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of personnel costs for sales, marketing and administrative personnel, and costs associated with participation in medical conferences, physician symposia and promotional activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to a $8.6 million increase in costs related to employment of additional sales and
marketing personnel and sales commissions paid, a $1.6 million increase in travel and related expenses, a $495,000 increase in marketing and promotional activities, and a $312,000 increase in stock-based compensation. As a percentage of net revenue,
selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2005 were 74% as compared to 114% in the three months ended June 30, 2004. We expect to incur additional operating costs, such as professional fees and insurance costs,
related to the growth of our business and our operations as a public company. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute terms as we expand our sales and marketing efforts, but to decrease as a
percentage of net revenue as we leverage our existing selling, general and administrative infrastructure.



Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income were $484,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $30,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in interest and other income is primarily attributable to higher average cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances that increased as a result of cash received from financing activities.



Interest and Other Expense. Interest and other
expense were $2,000 for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.



Beneficial Conversion Feature. The issuance of Series E convertible preferred stock resulted in a beneficial conversion feature, calculated in accordance with EITF No. 00-27, Application of Issue
No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, to Certain Convertible Instruments, based on the conversion price and fair value of the common stock
on the date of issuance. Accordingly, we recognized $14.2 million as a charge to additional paid-in-capital to account for the deemed dividend on the convertible preferred stock for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The amount of the deemed
dividend related to the beneficial conversion feature was recorded upon issuance of the convertible preferred stock, as the convertible preferred stock was convertible to common stock by the holder at any time.

Selling,
General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to
a $16.2 million increase in costs related to employment of additional sales and marketing personnel and sales commissions paid, a $2.6 million increase in travel and related expenses, a $1.2 million increase in marketing and promotional activities,
and a $698,000 increase in stock-based compensation. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2005 were 76% as compared to 116% in the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income were $903,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 as compared to $56,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in interest and other income is primarily attributable to higher average cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances that increased as a result of cash
received from financing activities.



Interest and Other
Expense. Interest and other expense were $2,000 for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.



Beneficial Conversion Feature. The issuance of Series E convertible preferred stock resulted in a beneficial conversion feature, calculated
in accordance with EITF No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, to Certain Convertible Instruments,
based on the conversion price and fair value of the common stock on the date of issuance. Accordingly, we recognized $16.0 million as a charge to additional paid-in-capital to account for the deemed dividend on the convertible preferred stock for
the six months ended June 30, 2004. The amount of the deemed dividend related to the beneficial conversion feature was recorded upon issuance of the convertible preferred stock, as the convertible preferred stock was convertible to common stock by
the holder at any time.



Stock-Based Compensation



We record deferred stock-based compensation for financial reporting purposes
as the difference between the exercise price of options granted to employees and directors and the estimated fair value of our common stock at the time of grant. Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis to cost of
revenue, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses. Deferred stock-based compensation recorded through June 30, 2005 was $20.2 million, net of stock option cancellations, with accumulated amortization of $8.5 million.
The remaining $11.7 million will be amortized over the vesting periods of the options, generally four years from the date of grant (assuming no additional cancellations). We currently expect to record amortization expense for deferred stock-based
compensation as follows:



|                           |  |        |            
|-------------------------- |  | ------ | -----------
|Period                     |  | Amount
|Remaining 6 months of 2005 |  | $      | 2.3 million
|2006                       |  | $      | 4.8 million
|2007                       |  | $      | 3.9 million
|2008                       |  | $      | 0.7 million



Stock-based
compensation expenses related to stock options granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options are earned. The amount of stock-based compensation expenses to be recorded in future periods may decrease if unvested options are cancelled.
Our stock-based compensation expenses will fluctuate as the fair market value of our common stock fluctuates. We recorded $1.3 million and $460,000 in stock-based compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



On October 28, 2004, the Company completed an initial public offering of 4.5
million shares of its common stock. Additionally, on October 29, 2004, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option of 675,000 shares. Proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses,
were $67.4 million. As of June 30, 2005, we had $18.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $39.5 million of investments, and $70.2 million of working capital.

The long-term
commitments under operating leases shown above consist of payments related to our real estate leases in Redwood City, California expiring December 2005 and August 2011.



In May 2004, we entered into a consulting agreement with the chairman of our board of directors, Dr. John B. Simpson,
pursuant to which he provides us with consulting services and is paid $25,000 per month. The term of the agreement is five years unless terminated earlier.



For 2006 and each year thereafter, the quarterly minimum patent royalty obligation equals the prior years minimum royalty adjusted by a percentage
equal to the percentage change in the consumer price index for the prior calendar year as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor. Unless terminated earlier, the term of the royalty obligation will continue until the expiration of the last to
expire patent that covers that licensed product in such country or for a period of 15 years following commercial sales, whichever is longer.



In March 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with one of its suppliers for certain manufacturing components used in the Companys
devices. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will be required to make payments to the supplier for differences between actual purchase quantities and the minimum purchase quantities defined in the agreement.



Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in
operating activities was $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. For each of these periods, net cash used in operating activities was attributable primarily to net losses
after adjustment for non-cash allowances and provisions, depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred stock-based compensation charges and increases in working capital requirements due to increased sales of the SilverHawk.



Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. Net cash
used in investing activities was $781,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $358,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash used in
investing activities was attributable to purchases of investments and acquisition of property and equipment offset by sales or maturities of investments and proceeds from disposal of property and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2004,
net cash provided by investing activities was attributable to sales or maturities of investments offset by purchases of investments and acquisition of property and equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $29.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash provided by financing activity was attributable to proceeds from issuance of
common stock related to stock option exercises and issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan offset by repurchases of common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net cash provided by financing activities was
attributable to issuance of convertible preferred stock and issuance of common stock related to stock option exercises.



Our future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. These factors include but are not limited to the following:



| |  |  | revenue generated by sales of the SilverHawk;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs associated with our sales and marketing initiatives and manufacturing activities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rate of progress and cost of our research and development activities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs of obtaining and maintaining FDA and other regulatory clearances of the SilverHawk;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | effects of competing technological and market developments; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | size, number and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements.As of June 30, 2005, we did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item
303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.



Summary.We
believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investment balances, along with the cash we expect to generate from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the
next 12 months. If these sources of cash are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could
result in dilution to our stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our
operations. Additional financing may not be available at all, or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations or obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our
planned product development and marketing efforts.



We expect
to increase capital expenditures consistent with our anticipated growth in manufacturing, infrastructure and personnel. We also may increase our capital expenditures as we expand our product lines or invest to address new markets.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 amends APB No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of
Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, (SFAS 153). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial
statements.

##### Table of Contents

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment (revised 2004),
(SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to measure all stock-based compensation awards, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair value method and record such expense in the financial statements. In addition,
the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) requires additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. SFAS No. 123(R) as amended, is now effective
for public companies for annual, rather than interim, periods that begin after June 15, 2005, which will require the Company to adopt this standard commencing January 1, 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, TOPIC 14: Share-based payment. SAB No. 107 addresses the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides views regarding the valuation of share-based
payment arrangements for public companies. SAB No. 107 was effective immediately. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting these new standards.



Factors Affecting Future Operating Results



We have a limited history of operations and a history of net losses. We may not be able to achieve profitability even if we are able to generate significant revenue
from sales of the SilverHawk.



We have a limited history
of operations upon which you can evaluate our business. In particular, we incurred net losses of $10.0 million in the first six months of 2005 and $29.9 million in the full year of 2004. As of June 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $83.5
million. We commenced full commercial sales of the SilverHawk in January 2004, and our short commercialization experience makes it difficult for us to predict future performance. Our failure to accurately predict financial performance may lead to
volatility in our stock price. In addition, we expect our operating expenses will increase as we expand our business to meet anticipated growing demand for the SilverHawk and devote substantial resources to our sales force expansion, sales and
marketing programs and research and development activities. If over the long-term we are unable to reduce our cost of operations relative to our net revenue, we may not achieve profitability even if we are able to generate significant revenue from
sales of the SilverHawk. Our failure to achieve and sustain profitability would negatively impact the market price of our common stock.



We depend on a single product, the SilverHawk. If the SilverHawk fails to gain or loses market acceptance, our business will suffer.



The SilverHawk is our only product, and we are wholly dependent on it. We
expect that sales of the SilverHawk in the United States will account for substantially all of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Because of its fairly recent commercial introduction, the SilverHawk has limited product and brand recognition. We
do not know if the SilverHawk will be successful over the long term. Market acceptance of the SilverHawk may be hindered if physicians are not presented with compelling data from long-term studies of the safety and efficacy of the SilverHawk
compared against alternative procedures, such as angioplasty, stenting or bypass grafting. We have no current plans to conduct such comparative studies. In addition, demand for the SilverHawk may decline or may not increase as quickly as we expect.
Failure of the SilverHawk to significantly penetrate current or new markets would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.



There exists limited long-term data regarding the safety and efficacy of the SilverHawk. Future long-term data may not be positive or consistent with data currently
available, which would affect the rate at which our device is adopted.



The SilverHawk is a novel product, and our success depends on its acceptance by the medical community as safe and effective. Important factors upon which the efficacy of the SilverHawk will be measured are long-term
data on the rate of restenosis, or plaque regrowth following our procedure, and the corresponding duration of patency, or openness of the artery. Because our technology is relatively new in the treatment of PAD, to date there have been two
single-center, clinical experiences with limited patient populations that have measured short-term restenosis and patency rates up to one year following treatment. Neither of these studies were conducted by us. We have not conducted, and do not have
any current plans to conduct, studies designed to measure restenosis rates or patency rates after treatment with the SilverHawk. If we decide to conduct such studies in the future, they will be expensive and time consuming.



18

##### Table of Contents

Our TALON registry may produce limited subset data regarding restenosis and patency rates, but such an
evaluation is not mandated by the registry protocol. Another important factor that physicians will consider is the rate of reintervention, or retreatment, following the SilverHawk procedure. In June 2005, we announced one-year reintervention data
from a small subset of our TALON registry. We cannot provide any assurance that the data collected will be compelling to the medical community, because it may not be scientifically meaningful and may not demonstrate that the SilverHawk is an
attractive procedure when compared against data from alternative procedures. In addition, the long-term effects of the SilverHawk procedure are not known.



The results of limited long-term data and of short-term clinical experience of the SilverHawk do not necessarily predict long-term clinical benefit.
Restenosis rates usually increase over time, and typically two-year restenosis rates are substantially higher than one-year results. We believe that physicians will compare the rates of long-term restenosis and reintervention for the SilverHawk
procedure against alternative procedures, such as angioplasty, stenting and bypass grafting. If long-term rates of restenosis and reintervention do not meet physicians expectations, the SilverHawk may not become widely adopted and physicians
may recommend alternative treatments for their patients. Other significant factors that physicians will consider include acute safety data on complications that occur during the SilverHawk procedure. If the results obtained from any future clinical
studies or clinical or commercial experience indicate that the SilverHawk is not as safe or effective as other treatment options or as prior short-term or long-term data would suggest, adoption of our product may suffer and our business would be
harmed.



Even if we believe the data collected from clinical
studies or clinical experience indicate positive results, each physicians actual experience with our device will vary. Clinical studies conducted with the SilverHawk, as well as clinical experience recorded in the TALON registry, have involved
procedures performed by physicians who are technically-proficient and high-volume users of the SilverHawk. Consequently, both short and long-term results reported in these studies and the TALON registry may be significantly more favorable than
typical results of practicing physicians, which could negatively impact rates of adoption of the SilverHawk.



Our future growth depends on physician adoption of the SilverHawk, which requires physicians to change their screening and referral practices.



Although there is a significant correlation between PAD and coronary artery disease, many physicians do not routinely screen
for PAD while screening for coronary artery disease. We target our sales efforts to interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons because they are often the primary care physicians diagnosing and treating both coronary artery disease and PAD.
However, the initial point of contact for many patients may be general practitioners, podiatrists, nephrologists or endocrinologists, each of whom commonly treats patients experiencing complications resulting from PAD. If we do not educate referring
physicians about PAD in general and the existence of the SilverHawk in particular, they may not refer patients to interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons or interventional radiologists for the SilverHawk procedure, and those patients may
instead be surgically treated or treated with an alternative interventional procedure. If we are not successful in educating physicians about screening for PAD or about referral opportunities, our ability to increase our revenue may be impaired.



Our ability to market the SilverHawk in the United States is limited to use
in peripheral vessels, and if we want to expand our marketing claims, we will need to file for additional FDA clearances or approvals and conduct further clinical trials, which would be expensive and time-consuming and may not be successful.



We have FDA clearance in the United States for treatment
of atherosclerosis in the peripheral vasculature. This general clearance restricts our ability to market or advertise the SilverHawk for any specific indication within the peripheral arteries, which limits our ability to market the SilverHawk and



19

##### Table of Contents

could affect our growth. Off-label use of the SilverHawk outside the peripheral vasculature, in coronary and carotid
arteries, has occurred and is likely to continue. In addition, off-label use for treatment of in-stent restenosis has occurred and is likely to continue. While off-label uses of medical devices are common and FDA does not regulate physicians
choice of treatments, FDA does restrict a manufacturers communications regarding such off-label use. We may not actively promote or advertise the SilverHawk for off-label uses. In addition, we cannot make comparative claims regarding the use
of the SilverHawk against any alternative treatments without conducting head-to-head comparative clinical studies, which would be expensive and time consuming. We do not have any current plans to conduct clinical studies in the near future to
evaluate the SilverHawk against any alternative method of treatment. If our promotional activities fail to comply with FDAs regulations or guidelines, we may be subject to FDA warnings or enforcement action.



If we want to market the SilverHawk in the United States for use in coronary
or carotid arteries, we will need to conduct further clinical trials and obtain premarket approval from FDA. We previously began a clinical trial in support of FDA approval for use of the SilverHawk in the coronary arteries. Based on 172 patients
treated in this trial, we experienced 37 serious adverse events in treating 28 patients, including 10 perforations, two cases of emergency bypass surgery, three cases of stroke, 14 cases of heart attack and eight patient deaths. We voluntarily
halted enrollment so that we could incorporate safety and design improvements into our coronary product. We believe that these serious adverse events resulted from a number of factors, including the patients overall poor health, the complexity
of treating the bifurcated lesions called for under the trial protocol, and the application of our device in the coronary arteries, which are extremely small and constantly move as the heart beats. We are currently evaluating recent design
modifications through a feasibility trial that is being conducted in Europe. Pending the outcome of the feasibility trial, we may conduct a new trial in the U.S. to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the SilverHawk in the coronary arteries. FDA
will require that we resubmit an application for an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, before we can commence our coronary clinical trial in the U.S. Such a resubmission will add significant time to the regulatory approval process for the use
of the SilverHawk in coronary arteries. If FDA approves our IDE and we commence a coronary clinical trial with our redesigned product, we do not know whether that trial will be successful. Even if we believe a clinical trial demonstrates promising
safety and efficacy data, such results may not be sufficient to obtain FDA approval. Without conducting and successfully completing further clinical studies, our ability to market the SilverHawk will be limited and our revenue expectations may not
be realized.



If we are unable to manage the anticipated growth of our
business, our future revenue and operating results may be adversely affected.



The growth that we have experienced, and in the future may experience, provides challenges to our organization, requiring us to rapidly expand our sales personnel and manufacturing operations. Our sales force has
increased from 69 direct sales representatives on December 31, 2004 to 119 on June 30, 2005, and we expect to continue to grow our sales force and invest heavily in recruiting and retaining sales representatives. We are also currently in the process
of expanding our manufacturing operations significantly. Rapid expansion in personnel means that less experienced people may be producing and selling our product, which could result in unanticipated costs and disruptions to our operations. If we
cannot scale and manage our business appropriately, our anticipated growth may be impaired and our financial results will suffer.



We have limited experience manufacturing the SilverHawk in commercial quantities, which could adversely impact our business.



Because we have only limited experience in manufacturing the SilverHawk in
commercial quantities, we may encounter unforeseen situations that would result in delays or shortfalls. For example, in June 2004, we initiated a voluntary recall of two lots of the SilverHawk due to the possibility of improper sterilization at one
of two approved sterilization facilities. We may encounter difficulties and delays in manufacturing the SilverHawk for the following additional reasons:



| |  |  | we are in the process of significantly expanding our manufacturing operations, and our production processes may have to change to accommodate this growth;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



20

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | key components of the SilverHawk are currently provided by a single supplier or limited number of suppliers, and we do not maintain large inventory levels of these components;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to increase our manufacturing output significantly, we will have to attract and retain qualified employees, who are in short supply, for the assembly and testing operations.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If our manufacturing operations are unable to
meet demand for the SilverHawk, our revenue could be impaired, market acceptance for the SilverHawk could be adversely affected, and our customers might instead purchase our competitors products.



We depend on third-party vendors in our manufacturing operations, making us vulnerable to
supply shortages and price fluctuations that could harm our business.



We currently rely on third-party vendors for the manufacture of most of the components used in the SilverHawk. Our reliance on these vendors subjects us to a number of risks that could impact our ability to
manufacture our product and harm our business, including:



| |  |  | interruption of supply resulting from modifications to, or discontinuation of, a suppliers operations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in product shipments resulting from uncorrected defects, reliability issues or a suppliers variation in a component;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | price fluctuations due to a lack of long-term supply arrangements for key components with our suppliers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inability to obtain adequate supply in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulty identifying and qualifying alternative suppliers for components in a timely manner;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | production delays related to the evaluation and testing of products from alternative suppliers and corresponding regulatory qualifications; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in delivery by our suppliers due to changes in demand from us or their other customers.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Any significant delay or interruption in the supply of components, or our inability to obtain substitute components or
materials from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could impair our ability to meet the demand of our customers and harm our business.



We depend on single and limited source suppliers for some of the SilverHawk components, and if any of those suppliers are unable or unwilling to produce these
components or supply them in the quantities that we need, we would experience manufacturing delays as a result.



We rely on single and limited source suppliers for several of our components. For example, we rely on one vendor for our torque shaft, one vendor for our
cutting blade motor, and one vendor for our flex circuit. These components are critical to the SilverHawk and there are few alternative sources of supply for them. We do not carry a significant inventory of these components. Identifying and
qualifying additional or replacement suppliers for any of the components used in the SilverHawk, if required, may not be accomplished quickly or at all and could involve significant additional costs. Any supply interruption from our vendors or
failure to obtain additional vendors for any of the components used to manufacture the SilverHawk would limit our ability to manufacture our product and could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.



The use, misuse or off-label use of the SilverHawk may
result in injuries that lead to product liability suits, which could be costly to our business.



We neither provide training for physicians nor require that physicians be trained in the use of the SilverHawk by a third party because we market
primarily to physicians who are skilled in the interventional techniques required to use our device. Although the SilverHawk is cleared by FDA for the treatment of



21

##### Table of Contents

atherosclerosis in the peripheral vasculature, we have indicated through our marketing efforts that certain treatment
locations, such as arteries below the knee or above the leg, are not suited for physicians with limited experience using the device. There may be increased risk of injury if such physicians attempt SilverHawk procedures in peripheral arteries in
these areas of the body. Not requiring training specific to the use of our device in various parts of the body may expose us to greater risk of product liability if injuries occur during the SilverHawk procedure. If demand for the SilverHawk
continues to grow, less skilled surgeons will likely use the device, potentially leading to more injury and an increased risk of product liability.



The use or misuse of the SilverHawk in the peripheral and coronary arteries has in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in complications,
including damage to the treated artery, internal bleeding, limb loss and death, potentially leading to a product liability claim. The SilverHawk is not FDA-cleared or approved for treatment of carotid arteries, which are arteries leading to the
brain, coronary arteries, or in-stent restenosis in the United States. Our sales force does not promote the product for off-label uses, and our U.S. instructions for use specify that the SilverHawk is not intended for use in the coronary arteries or
carotid arteries. However, we cannot prevent a physician from using the SilverHawk for these off-label applications. The application of the SilverHawk to coronary arteries, as opposed to peripheral arteries, is more likely to result in complications
that have serious consequences. For example, if excised plaque were not captured properly in our device, it could be carried by the bloodstream to a narrower location, blocking a coronary artery, leading to a heart attack, or blocking an artery to
the brain, leading to a stroke. We have had three reported incidents of stroke in our halted coronary trial, which may have been caused by excised arterial plaque entering the bloodstream. If the SilverHawk is defectively designed, manufactured or
labeled, contains defective components or is misused, we may become subject to costly litigation by our customers or their patients. Product liability claims could divert managements attention from our core business, be expensive to defend and
result in sizable damage awards against us.



We compete against companies
that have longer operating histories, more established products and greater resources, which may prevent us from achieving significant market penetration or improved operating results.



We compete against very large and well-known stent and angioplasty device
manufacturers, including Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific, Cook, Guidant, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic. We also compete against smaller manufacturers, including, among others: ev3, a manufacturer of peripheral vascular stents and
angioplasty devices; Spectranetics, a manufacturer of excimer lasers for the treatment of coronary artery disease and PAD; W. L. Gore, (Medical Products Division), a manufacturer of endoprostheses stent-grafts; and Vascular Architects, a
manufacturer of stents. There are also several other companies that provide products used by surgeons in peripheral bypass procedures. Other competitors include pharmaceutical companies that manufacture drugs for the treatment of mild to moderate
PAD. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial and human capital resources than we do and have established reputations, as well as worldwide distribution channels that are more effective than ours. Competition with these companies
could result in price-cutting, reduced profit margins and loss of market share, any of which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.



Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to distinguish our company and the SilverHawk from our competitors
and their products, and includes such factors as:



| |  |  | the SilverHawks ability to treat PAD safely and effectively;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | predictable clinical performance;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | ease of use;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | price;
| | - |  | ------



| |  |  | adequate third-party reimbursement; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | brand and name recognition.
| | - |  | ---------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Our competitors with greater financial resources could acquire other companies to gain enhanced name
recognition and market share, as well as new technologies or products that could effectively compete with our existing product, which may cause our revenue to decline and would harm our business.



Our ability to compete also depends on our ability to innovate successfully. If our
competitors can compete directly against us or demonstrate the safety and efficacy of other methods of treating PAD, our revenue may decline.



The market for medical devices is highly competitive, dynamic, and marked by rapid and substantial technological development and product innovations.
There are few barriers that would prevent new entrants or existing competitors from developing products that compete directly with ours. Demand for the SilverHawk could be diminished by equivalent or superior products and technologies offered by
competitors. For example, drug-eluting stents have been developed for treating coronary artery disease and have been rapidly adopted. Cook is currently conducting clinical trials for the use of drug-eluting stents and Edwards is conducting clinical
trials for the use of non-drug-eluting stents in the peripheral vasculature, each of which, if successful, may impact future SilverHawk sales. We are also aware of at least two other companies, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. and Pathway Medical,
developing plaque-removal devices intended for the treatment of PAD. If we are unable to innovate successfully or if new competitors emerge, the SilverHawk could become obsolete, and our revenue would decline as our customers purchase our
competitors products.



We may in the future be a party to patent
litigation and administrative proceedings that could be costly and could interfere with our ability to sell the SilverHawk.



The medical device industry has been characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and companies in the
industry have used intellectual property litigation to gain a competitive advantage. We may become a party to patent infringement claims and litigation or interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to determine the
priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution of these matters are both costly and time consuming. Additionally, we may need to commence proceedings against others to enforce our patents, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to
determine the enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. These proceedings would result in substantial expense to us and significant diversion of effort by our technical and management personnel.



An adverse determination in litigation or interference proceedings to which
we may become a party could subject us to significant liabilities or injunctions which would require us to seek licenses. In addition, if we are found to willfully infringe third-party patents, we could be required to pay treble damages in addition
to other penalties. Although patent and intellectual property disputes in the medical device area have often been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial and could include ongoing
royalties. We may be unable to obtain necessary licenses on satisfactory terms, if at all. If we do not obtain necessary licenses, we may not be able to redesign the SilverHawk to avoid infringement. Adverse determinations in a judicial or
administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing and selling the SilverHawk, which would have a significant adverse impact on our business.



We are aware of patents held by Guidant that may be asserted against us in litigation that
could be costly and could limit our ability to sell the SilverHawk.



We are aware of patent families related to catheter positioning and atherectomy, or plaque removal, owned or licensed by Guidant. Johnson & Johnson has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Guidant,
expected to close in the third quarter. With regard to atherectomy patents, one of our founders, Dr. John Simpson, founded a company prior to founding our company that developed an atherectomy device that is currently sold by Guidant, and he is a
listed inventor on several patents covering that device. Those patents are now held by Guidant. Guidants device is currently marketed and sold for use in coronary arteries. We are not currently aware of any claims Guidant has made or intends
to make against us. Because of a doctrine known as assignor estoppel, if any of Dr. Simpsons earlier patents are asserted against us by Guidant, we may be prevented from asserting an invalidity defense regarding those patents, and
our defense may be compromised. Guidant has significantly greater financial resources than we do to pursue



23

##### Table of Contents

patent litigation and can assert these patent families against us at any time. Adverse determinations in such litigation
could prevent us from manufacturing or selling the SilverHawk, which would have a significant adverse impact on our business.



Intellectual property rights may not provide adequate protection, which may permit third parties to compete against us more effectively.



We rely on patents, trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements to
protect our technology and products. Our pending patent applications may not issue as patents or, if issued, may not issue in a form that will be advantageous to us. Any patents we have obtained or will obtain in the future might be invalidated or
circumvented by third parties. Should such challenges be successful, competitors might be able to market products and use manufacturing processes that are substantially similar to ours. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or
use of our technical knowledge or other trade secrets by consultants, vendors or former or current employees, despite the existence generally of confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions. Monitoring unauthorized use and
disclosure of our intellectual property is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be adequate. In addition, the laws of many foreign countries will not protect our intellectual
property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. To the extent our intellectual property protection is incomplete, we are exposed to a greater risk of direct competition. In addition, competitors could purchase a SilverHawk
device and attempt to replicate some or all of the competitive advantages we derive from our development efforts or design around our protected technology. If our intellectual property is not adequately protected against competitors products
and methods, our competitive position could be adversely affected, as could our business.



If we make acquisitions or divestitures, we could encounter difficulties that harm our business.



We may acquire companies, products or technologies that we believe to be complementary to the present or future direction of our business. If we engage in
such acquisitions, we may have difficulty integrating the acquired personnel, financials, operations, products or technologies. Acquisitions may dilute our earnings per share, disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees,
increase our expenses, subject us to liabilities, and increase our risk of litigation which could harm our business. If we use cash to acquire companies, products or technologies, it may divert resources otherwise available for other purposes. If we
use our common stock to acquire companies, products or technologies, it may substantially dilute the percentage of the company held by stockholders who own securities prior to the acquisition.



If we fail to obtain and maintain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals for the
SilverHawk, or if clearances or approvals for future products and indications are delayed or not issued, our commercial operations would be harmed.



The SilverHawk is a medical device that is subject to extensive regulation by FDA in the United States and by regulatory agencies in other countries where
we do business. Government regulations specific to medical devices are wide-ranging and govern, among other things:



| |  |  | product design, development and manufacture;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product safety, testing, labeling and storage;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | premarketing clearance or approval;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | record keeping procedures;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | product marketing, sales and distribution; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | post-marketing surveillance, reporting of deaths or serious injuries and medical device reporting.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Before a new medical device or a new use of, or claim for, an existing product can be marketed in the United States, a
company must first apply for and receive either 510(k) clearance or premarketing approval from FDA, unless an exemption applies. Either process can be expensive, lengthy and



24

##### Table of Contents

unpredictable. Although we have obtained 510(k) clearance to market the SilverHawk for treatment of atherosclerosis in
the peripheral vasculature, our clearance can be revoked if safety or efficacy problems develop. We voluntarily suspended our U.S. clinical trial for the use of the SilverHawk in coronary arteries. To market the SilverHawk in the United States for
this use, we must successfully complete a clinical trial, submit a premarket approval application to FDA and obtain premarket approval. Therefore, even if we believe we have successfully developed the SilverHawk for use in the coronary arteries, we
may not be permitted to market our device for this indication in the United States for a number of years, if at all. Delays in obtaining approval could adversely affect our future growth.



We are also subject to medical device reporting regulations that require us to report to FDA if our product causes or
contributes to a death or serious injury or malfunctions. For the second quarter of 2005, there were seven medical device reports associated with procedures where the SilverHawk was used that were filed with the FDA. These filings included two
reported deaths: one resulting from a perforation during an off label coronary procedure and the second resulting from a non-device related cerebral aneurysm. The remaining five reported complications consisted of one amputation due to thrombosis
during a procedure conducted in the presence of contra-indicated knowledge of a hypercoagulable state, one stent and device interaction requiring surgery, one stent and device interaction requiring intervention, one possible embolization of plaque,
and one intervention to remove a mandrel that had inadvertently remained attached to the device following manufacture. We have subsequently modified our manufacturing process to eliminate this use of mandrels. The identification or increased
frequency of serious safety risks could result in product recall or withdrawal of our clearance or approval.



FDA and state authorities have broad enforcement powers. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action
by FDA or state agencies, which may include any of the following sanctions:



| |  |  | warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | repair, replacement, refunds, recall or seizure of our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | refusing our requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new products, new intended uses or modifications to existing products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | withdrawing 510(k) clearance or premarket approvals that have already been granted; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | criminal prosecution.
| | - |  | ---------------------



If any of these events were to occur, our business and financial condition would be harmed.



Modifications to the SilverHawk may require new 510(k) clearances or premarket approvals or may require us to recall or cease marketing the SilverHawk until clearances
are obtained.



Modifications to the SilverHawk may require
new 510(k) clearances or premarket approvals or require us to recall or cease marketing the modified devices until these clearances or approvals are obtained. FDA requires device manufacturers to initially make and document a determination of
whether or not a modification requires a new approval, supplement or clearance; however, FDA can review a manufacturers decision. Any modification to an FDA-cleared device that would significantly affect its safety or efficacy or that would
constitute a major change in its intended use would require a new 510(k) clearance or possibly a premarket approval. We may not be able to obtain additional 510(k) clearances or premarket approvals for new products or for modifications to, or
additional indications for, the SilverHawk in a timely fashion, or at all. Delays in obtaining required future clearances would adversely affect our ability to introduce new or enhanced products in a timely manner, which in turn would harm our
future growth. We have made modifications to the SilverHawk in the past and may make additional modifications in the future that we believe do not or will not require additional clearances or approvals. If FDA disagrees and requires new clearances
or approvals for the modifications, we may be required to recall and to stop marketing the SilverHawk as modified, which could harm our operating results and require us to redesign the SilverHawk. In these circumstances, we may be subject to
significant enforcement actions.

If we or our suppliers fail to comply with FDAs Quality System Regulation, our manufacturing operations could be
delayed and SilverHawk sales could suffer.



Our
manufacturing processes and those of our suppliers are required to comply with FDAs Quality System Regulation, which covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging,
storage and shipping of the SilverHawk. We are also subject to similar state requirements and licenses. In addition, we must engage in extensive recordkeeping and reporting and must make available our manufacturing facilities and records for
periodic inspections by governmental agencies, including FDA, state authorities and comparable agencies in other countries. We were recently inspected by FDA, and two minor observations were noted. We corrected the observations, and they were
verified by FDA. If we fail a Quality System inspection, our operations could be disrupted and our manufacturing interrupted. Failure to take adequate corrective action in response to an adverse Quality System inspection could result in, among other
things, a shut-down of our manufacturing operations, significant fines, suspension of marketing clearances and approvals, seizures or recalls of our device, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which would cause our business to
suffer. Furthermore, our key component suppliers may not currently be or may not continue to be in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, which may result in manufacturing delays for our product and cause our revenue to decline.



The SilverHawk has been and may in the future be subject to product recalls
that could harm our reputation.



FDA and similar
governmental authorities in other countries have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material regulatory deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. A government mandated or voluntary recall by us
could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors or design or labeling defects. In June 2004, we initiated a voluntary recall of two lots of the SilverHawk due to the possibility of improper sterilization. Thirty-eight of 127
affected devices were used in procedures on patients. While no adverse events were reported 30 days after these procedures, we have been unable to determine whether the devices we recalled were contaminated or whether the laboratory that initially
tested the recalled devices incorrectly concluded that the units were not sterile. We continue to use both the testing facility and sterilization facility involved in the recall. In October 2004, we received a formal closure notice from the FDA
regarding the recall. Additional recalls of the SilverHawk would divert managerial and financial resources, harm our reputation with customers and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. A recall announcement
would negatively affect our stock price.



Changes in coverage and
reimbursement for procedures using the SilverHawk could affect the adoption of the SilverHawk and our future revenue.



Currently, the SilverHawk procedure is typically reimbursed by third-party payors, including Medicare and private healthcare insurance companies, under
existing atherectomy codes. These payors may adversely change their coverage and reimbursement policies, as well as payment amounts. Also, healthcare reform legislation or regulation may be proposed or enacted in the future, which may adversely
affect such policies and amounts. We cannot predict whether and to what extent existing coverage and reimbursement will continue to be available. If physicians, hospitals and other providers are unable to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement
for the SilverHawk procedure, they are less likely to use it and our business would be adversely impacted.



We may be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations and, if we are unable to fully comply with such laws, could face substantial penalties.



Our operations may be directly or indirectly affected by
various broad state and federal healthcare fraud and abuse laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibit any person from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration, directly or indirectly, to
induce or reward either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing or arranging for an item or service,



26

##### Table of Contents

for which payment may be made under federal healthcare programs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. If our past
or present operations, including our consulting arrangements with physicians who use our product, are found to be in violation of these laws, we or our officers may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, including large monetary penalties,
damages, fines, imprisonment and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid program participation. If enforcement action were to occur, our business and financial condition would be harmed.



The expense and potential unavailability of insurance coverage for our company or our customers could adversely affect our ability to
sell the SilverHawk, which would harm our business.



We
may not have sufficient insurance coverage for future product liability claims. We may not be able to obtain insurance in amounts or scope sufficient to provide us with adequate coverage against all potential liabilities. Any product liability
claims brought against us, with or without merit, could increase our product liability insurance rates or prevent us from securing continuing coverage, harm our reputation in the industry and reduce product sales. Product liability claims in excess
of our insurance coverage would be paid out of cash reserves, harming our financial condition and adversely affecting our financial condition and operating results.



Some of our customers and prospective customers may have difficulty in procuring or maintaining liability insurance to cover
their operation and use of the SilverHawk. Medical malpractice carriers are withdrawing coverage in certain states or substantially increasing premiums. If this trend continues or worsens, our customers may discontinue using the SilverHawk and
potential customers may opt against purchasing the SilverHawk due to the cost or inability to procure insurance coverage.



We depend on skilled and experienced personnel to operate our business effectively. If we are unable to recruit, hire and retain these employees, our ability to manage
and expand our business will be harmed, which would impair our future revenue and profitability.



Our success largely depends on the skills, experience and efforts of our officers and other key employees. Any of our officers and other key employees may
terminate their employment at any time. The loss of any of our senior management team could harm our business. Our ability to retain our skilled labor force and our success in attracting and hiring new skilled employees will be a critical factor in
determining whether we will be successful in the future. We may not be able to meet our future hiring needs or retain existing personnel. We will face particularly significant challenges and risks in hiring, training, managing and retaining
engineering and sales and marketing employees. Failure to attract and retain personnel, particularly technical and sales and marketing personnel, would harm our ability to compete effectively and grow our business. The announcement of the loss of
one of our key employees could negatively affect our stock price.



Compliance with environmental laws and regulations could be expensive. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations could subject us to significant liability.



Our manufacturing operations involve the use of hazardous substances and are
subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations relating to the storage, use, discharge, disposal, remediation of, and human exposure to, hazardous substances. Our research and development and manufacturing
operations produce biological waste materials, such as human and animal tissue, and waste solvents, such as isopropyl alcohol. These operations are permitted by regulatory authorities, and the resultant waste materials are disposed of in material
compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations may be expensive and non-compliance could result in substantial liabilities. In addition, our manufacturing operations may result in the release,
discharge, emission or disposal of hazardous substances that could cause us to incur substantial liabilities, including costs for investigation and remediation. Our leased Bay Road facility was formerly occupied by Rohm & Haas and Occidental
Chemical Company and contains residual contamination in soil and groundwater from these past industrial operations. Rohm & Haas and Occidental Chemical Company previously performed soil remediation on the property under the supervision of the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Rohm & Haas has indemnified the owner of the Bay Road facility and its tenants against costs associated with the residual contamination, but there can be no assurance that this indemnification
will be adequate to cover the extent of the liability. Environmental laws and regulations could become more



27

##### Table of Contents

stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations. We
cannot assure you that violations of these laws and regulations will not occur in the future or have not occurred in the past as a result of human error, accidents, equipment failure or other causes. The expense associated with environmental
regulation and remediation could harm our financial condition and operating results.



Our directors, officers and principal stockholders have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of our other stockholders.



Our directors, officers and principal stockholders each holding more than 5% of our common stock collectively will control
approximately 51% of our outstanding common stock, assuming the exercise of all options held by such persons. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, would be able to control the management and affairs of our company and most matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, might adversely affect the
market price of our common stock and may not be in the best interests of our other stockholders.



Anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law could discourage a takeover.



Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that might enable our
management to resist a takeover. These provisions include:



| |  |  | a classified board of directors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | advance notice requirements to stockholders for matters to be brought at stockholder meetings;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a supermajority stockholder vote requirement for amending certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the right to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



These provisions might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of
our company or a change in our management. The existence of these provisions could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.



The cost of public company compliance with the securities laws and
regulations is substantial and recently enacted and proposed changes to these laws and regulations will further increase our general and administrative expenses.



The cost of complying with the reporting requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are substantial. In
addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, along with other recent and proposed rules from the SEC and Nasdaq, have required further legal and financial compliance costs, and made some corporate actions more difficult. For example, compliance with
the internal control requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 requires us to commit significant resources to document and review the adequacy of our internal controls. While we are expending significant resources in developing the required
documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404, we can provide no assurance as to conclusions by our external auditors with respect to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. If we are unable to comply with
the requirements of Section 404, we will have to issue a report that our internal controls are not effective, which could cause the market price of our stock to decline.



In addition, the changes in securities laws and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to maintain
directors and officers liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These developments also could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified
executive officers and members of our board of directors, particularly with regard to our audit committee.

Recent changes in the required accounting treatment for stock options will have a material negative impact on our
financial statements and may affect our stock price.



In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, pursuant to which we must measure all stock-based compensation awards,
including grants of employee stock options, using a fair value-based method and record such expense in our financial statements. This requirement to expense stock-based compensation awards is to take effect for public companies for annual periods
beginning after June 15, 2005, thus we are required to adopt this standard commencing January 1, 2006. Currently, we disclose such expenses on a pro forma basis in the notes to our financial statements, but we do not record a charge for employee
stock option expense in the financial statements. The inclusion of employee stock-option expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) will cause our reported earnings to decrease, which may affect our stock price.



We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future,
and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.



We have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects and
other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Our exposure to interest rate risk at June 30, 2005 is related primarily to our investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio includes fixed rate debt
instruments of high quality government and corporate issuers. A change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of our investments to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the
then-prevailing rate and the prevailing rate rises, the fair value of the principal amount of our investment will probably decline. To minimize this risk, investments are generally held to maturity and the weighted average duration of our
investments is 10 months or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe we have no material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.



We have operated mainly in the United States, and 100% and 99% of our sales were made in U.S. dollars for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and 100% and 99% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. To date, we have not had any material exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to us, is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this report was prepared, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter 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



The
Company is not presently party to any material litigation.



ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS



We registered the initial public offering of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, on a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, (Registration No. 333-118191), which was declared effective on October
27, 2004. On October 28, 2004, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock by selling 4.5 million shares at $14.00 per share. Additionally, on October 29, 2004, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase
675,000 shares at $14.00 per share. Proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $5.1 million, but before expenses were $67.4 million. The managing underwriters of the offering were J.P. Morgan Securities,
Inc., Piper Jaffray & Co., Thomas Weisel Partners, LLC and William Blair & Company, LLC. From the time of receipt on November 2, 2004, we have applied the net proceeds from this offering toward working capital.



During the quarter, we have spent the remaining net proceeds from the initial
public offering. Of the $67.4 million in net proceeds, through June 30, 2005, we spent approximately, $34.9 million for sales and marketing initiatives, $5.0 million for research and development activities and $27.5 million for operating and general
corporate purposes.



ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
