Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to our financial statements
included in this report. In addition to historical financial information, this report contains
forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and concern matters that involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report, including
statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans
and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. We have
attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including anticipates,
believes, can, continue, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, plans,
potential, predicts, should or will or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a
reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Such forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the
timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures made by us, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties, and
other factors that affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price,
including without limitation the disclosures made under the caption Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report and in the financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the disclosures made
under the captions Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, Risk Factors, Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Furthermore, such
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We expressly disclaim any
intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform such
statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or expectations. References in this
report to TranS1, we, our, us, or the Company refer to TranS1 Inc.
