I-FLOW CORPORATION 
 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the financial position of I-Flow Corporation and its
subsidiaries (the Company) at June 30, 2004 and the results of its operations
and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and
2003. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company
believes that the disclosures in the financial statements are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2003 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 15, 2004. The Company sold Spinal Specialties, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (Spinal
Specialties), on November 1, 2003 to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation
for approximately $6,000,000 in cash and net proceeds of approximately
$5,000,000. The Company has restated its financial statements for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2003 to present the operations of Spinal Specialties as
discontinued operations. Reported in income from discontinued operations, net
of tax, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 are net product
sales from Spinal Specialties of $1,180,000 and $2,209,000, income before taxes
of $137,000 and $242,000, and income tax expense of $59,000 and $103,000,
respectively. Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2003, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities(FIN 46). In general, a variable interest entity
is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for
business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting
rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial
resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires a variable
interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a
majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or
entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003. With respect to variable interest
entities created before January 31, 2003, in December 2003, the FASB issued FIN
46R which, among other matters, revised the implementation date to first fiscal
years or interim periods ending after March 15, 2004, with the exception of
Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). The consolidated requirements apply to all
SPEs in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15,
2003. As the Company has determined that it does not have any SPEs to which
these interpretations apply, the Company adopted FIN46R in the first quarter of
2004 and such adoption did not have a material impact on its financial
statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity(SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an
issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both debt and equity, and requires an issuer to classify the
following instruments as liabilities in its balance sheet: 4

##### Table of Contents




    
    a financial instrument issued in the form of shares that is
mandatorily redeemable and embodies an unconditional obligation that
requires the issuer to redeem it by transferring its assets at a
specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to
occur;
    
    a financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that
embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuers equity shares, or is
indexed to such an obligation, and requires the issuer to settle the
obligation by transferring assets; and
    
    a financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation
that the issuer must settle by issuing a variable number of its equity
shares if the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or
predominantly on (1) a fixed monetary amount, (2) variations in
something other than the fair value of the issuers equity shares, or
(3) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the
issuers equity shares. In November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 150-3 which
deferred the effective dates for applying certain provisions of SFAS 150
related to mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic
entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests for public
and nonpublic entities. For public entities, SFAS 150 is effective for mandatorily redeemable financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is effective for
all other financial instruments as of the first interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. For mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests that would not have to be
classified as liabilities by a subsidiary under the exception in paragraph 9 of
SFAS 150, but would be classified as liabilities by the parent, the
classification and measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are deferred
indefinitely. For other mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests that
were issued before November 5, 2003, the measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are
deferred indefinitely. For those instruments, the measurement guidance for
redeemable shares and noncontrolling interests in other literature shall apply
during the deferral period. The adoption of the other provisions of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact
on the Companys consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for employee and
director stock options using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,and FASB Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation
Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans,and has adopted the
disclosure-only alternative of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.Stock options issued to consultants and vendors are accounted
for at fair value. Because the Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, no
compensation cost has been recognized for stock option grants to employees and
non-employee directors with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of
the underlying shares at the grant date. Had compensation cost for the
Companys option plans been determined based on the fair value of the options
at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Companys net
income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been the pro forma
amounts indicated below: 5

consultant stock options and restricted stock. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:
no dividend yield; expected volatility 94% in 2003 and 90% in 2004; risk-free
interest rate of 3.04% in 2003 and 3.64% in 2004; and expected lives of 5

 Options to purchase 163,000 and 20,000 shares of common stock have been
excluded from the treasury stock method of calculation for diluted weighted
average common shares for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004,
respectively, as their exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the
Companys common stock for these periods and their effect would be
anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 28,000 and 730,000 shares of common stock have been
excluded from the treasury stock method of calculation for diluted weighted
average common shares for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, as their exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the
Companys common stock for these periods and their effect would be

 The Company amortizes patents over a period of seven years. Amortization
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was $79,000 and
$153,000, respectively, compared to $66,000 and $130,000 for the same periods
in the prior year. Amortization expense of intangible assets recorded as of
June 30, 2004 is expected to be approximately $245,000 in each of the next five
fiscal years. 5. Stockholders Equity During September 2003, the Company sold 1,666,740 shares of common stock at
$7.50 per share with net proceeds to the Company of $11,563,000. In connection
with the sale of the common stock, the Company granted the 7

investors warrants to purchase 250,011 shares of common stock with an exercise
price of $10.00 per share. The estimated fair value of these warrants on the
grant date was $1,272,000 as calculated by the Black-Scholes pricing model.
These warrants are fully exercisable and expire five years from the date of
grant. As of June 30, 2004, warrants to purchase 225,111 shares of common
stock were outstanding. The following weighted average assumptions were used
to calculate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing
model: contractual life of five years; stock volatility of 87%; risk-free
interest rate of 2.730%; and no dividends during the term. On April 19, 2004, the Company completed a public offering of 2,990,000 shares
of common stock at $15.50 per share, of which 390,000 shares were issued
pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option. The
shares were sold at a price to the public of $15.50 per share resulting in net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $43,000,000. 6. Operating Segments and Revenue Data The Company operates in two reportable operating segments: the manufacturing
and marketing of medical infusion pumps (the Manufacturing and Marketing
operating segment) and the rental and third party billing of electronic medical
infusion pumps that are manufactured by companies other than I-Flow Corporation
(the Rentals operating segment.) The Manufacturing and Marketing operating
segment consists of two major market segments, the IV Infusion Therapy market
segment and Regional Anesthesia market segment. The Rentals operating segment
consists of the activities of InfuSystem, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, which provides infusion pumps for chemotherapy to the Oncology
Infusion Services market segment. Operating segment information is as follows for the three and six-month periods

7. Guarantees and Indemnifications From time to time, the Company enters into contracts that contingently require
the Company to indemnify parties against third party claims. These contracts
primarily relate to: (i) divestiture and acquisition agreements, under which
the Company may provide customary indemnifications to either (a) purchasers of
the Companys businesses or assets or (b) entities from which the Company is
acquiring assets or businesses; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which
the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and
other liabilities and other claims arising from the Companys use of the leased
premises; (iii) certain agreements with the Companys officers, directors and
employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons
for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company; and (iv)
license, consulting, distribution and purchase agreements with the Companys
customers and other parties, under which the Company may be required to
indemnify such parties for intellectual property infringement claims, product
liability claims and other claims arising from the Companys provision of
products or services to such parties. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation arising
out of these types of agreements is not explicitly stated and, therefore, the
overall maximum amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated.
Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments
for these obligations. The Company has not issued any significant indemnities,
commitments or guarantees during the three or six month periods ended June 30,
2004 and 2003 requiring recognition; thus, no liabilities have been recorded. 9

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-Looking Statements Statements by the Company in this report and in other reports and statements
released by the Company are and will be forward-looking in nature and express
the Companys current opinions about trends and factors that may impact future
operating results. Statements that use words such as believes, anticipates
or expects or use similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expected, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish
revised forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
or subsequent events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider
the various disclosures made by the Company in this report that seek to advise
interested parties of the risks and other factors that affect the Companys
business. Interested parties should also review the Companys reports on Forms
10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and other reports that are periodically filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks affecting the Companys business
include, among others: implementation of our direct sales strategy; dependence
on our suppliers and distributors; reliance on the success of the home health
care industry; our continuing compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
such as the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and the FDAs concurrence with our
managements subjective judgment on compliance issues; the reimbursement system
currently in place and future changes to that system; competition in the
industry; economic and political conditions in foreign countries; currency
exchange rates; inadequacy of booked reserves; technological changes; and
product availability and acceptance. All forward-looking statements, whether
made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in context with the
various disclosures made by the Company about its business. Critical Accounting Policies I-Flow prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly,
the Company is required to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that the
Company believes are reasonable based on the information available. These
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the periods presented. The critical accounting policies
that the Company believes are the most important to aid in fully understanding
and evaluating its reported financial results are: Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of shipment and
passage of title. The Company offers the right of return for defective
products and continuously monitors and tracks product returns. The Company
records a provision for the estimated amount of future returns based on
historical experience and any notification received of pending returns.
Although such returns have historically been insignificant, the Company cannot
guarantee that it will continue to experience the same return rates as it has
in the past. Any significant increase in product returns could have a material
adverse impact on the Companys operating results for the period or periods in
which the returns materialize. The Company recognizes rental revenues from medical pumps over the term of the
related agreement, generally on a month-to-month basis. Pump rentals are
billed at the Companys established rates, which often differ from
contractually allowable rates provided by third party payors such as Medicare,
Medicaid and commercial insurance carriers. The Company records net rental
revenues at the estimated realizable amounts from patients and third party
payors. The Company experiences significant extended payment terms with
certain of these third party payors, but it continuously monitors reimbursement
rates of the third party payors and the timing of such payments. Any change in
reimbursement or collection rates could have a material negative impact on the
Companys operating results for the period or periods in which the change is
identified. Accounts Receivable The Company performs various analyses to evaluate accounts receivable balances.
It records an allowance for bad debts based on the estimated collectibility of
the accounts such that the recorded amounts reflect estimated net 10

##### Table of Contents



realizable value. The Company applies specified percentages to the accounts
receivable agings to estimate the amount that will ultimately be uncollectible
and therefore should be reserved. The percentages are increased as the
accounts age. If the actual uncollected amounts are less than the previously
estimated allowance, a favorable adjustment would result. If the actual
uncollected amounts significantly exceed the estimated allowance, the Companys
operating results would be significantly and adversely affected. Inventories The Company values inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or
manufacture the inventory and the current estimated market value of the
inventory. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and
records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory on specifically
identified items based primarily on the estimated forecast of product demand
and production requirements for the next two years. A significant increase in
the demand for the Companys products could result in a short-term increase in
the cost of inventory purchases while a significant decrease in demand could
result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on hand.
Additionally, the Companys estimates of future product demand may prove to be
inaccurate and thus the Company may have understated or overstated the
provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if
inventory is determined to be overvalued, the Company would be required to
recognize such costs in cost of goods sold at the time of such determination.
Likewise, if inventory is determined to be undervalued, the Company may have
over-reported cost of goods sold in previous periods and would be required to
recognize additional operating income at the time of sale. Therefore, although
the Company seeks to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product
demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological
developments could have a significant impact on the value of its inventory and
reported operating results. Deferred Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases
of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax
assets for recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance based on
historical taxable income, projected future taxable income and the expected
timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. If the Company
operates at a profit in the future and generates sufficient future taxable
income, it could be required to reverse the current valuation allowance against
the deferred tax assets which would result in a substantial decrease in the
Companys effective tax rate. Likewise, if the Company is unable to operate at
a profit and unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, it could be
required to establish an additional valuation allowance against all or a
significant portion of its deferred tax assets, resulting in a substantial
increase in the Companys effective tax rate and a material adverse impact on
operating results. Goodwill Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets(SFAS 142), required the Company to cease amortizing
goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets effective January 1, 2002. The
Companys business combinations have at various times resulted in the
acquisition of goodwill and other intangible assets, which may affect the
amount of future period amortization expense and impairment expense that the
Company may incur. The determination of the value of such intangible assets
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect its
consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews the recoverability of
the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis or more frequently if an
event occurs or circumstances change to indicate that an impairment of goodwill
has possibly occurred. The Company compares fair value of its reporting units
to their carrying value, as well as other factors, to determine whether or not
any potential impairment of goodwill exists. If a potential impairment
exists, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value of
goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit
and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The Company cannot
guarantee that there will be no impairment in the future. See Note 4 to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Divestiture of Spinal Specialties The Company sold Spinal Specialties, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (Spinal
Specialties), on November 1, 2003 to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation
for approximately $6,000,000 in cash and net proceeds of approximately
$5,000,000. 11

The net income of Spinal Specialties prior to divestiture is presented in the
Companys operations as income from discontinued operations, net of tax.
Reported in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2003 are net product sales from Spinal Specialties of
$1,180,000 and $2,209,000, income before taxes of $137,000 and $242,000, and
income tax expense of $59,000 and $103,000, respectively. Overview The Company designs, develops and markets technically advanced, low-cost drug
delivery systems and services that provide life-enhancing, cost-effective
solutions for pain relief and intravenous infusion therapy. The Company
focuses on three distinct markets: Regional Anesthesia, IV Infusion Therapy
and Oncology Infusion Services. The Companys products are used in hospitals,
ambulatory surgery centers, physicians offices and patients homes. The Companys strategic focus for future growth is on the Regional Anesthesia
market and, more specifically, on the Companys pain relief products marketed
under its ON-Q® brand. The Company intends to continue to expand its sales and
marketing efforts to further penetrate the United States post-surgical pain
relief market for its ON-Q products. Results of Operations Revenue Net revenues during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 were
$17,167,000 and $31,336,000 compared to $11,383,000 and $21,518,000,
respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, representing increases of
51% and 46%, respectively. During the three and six-month periods ended June
30, 2004, net product revenues increased 57%, to $12,691,000, and 49%, to
22,597,000, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Rental income, comprised of the revenues of the Companys InfuSystem
subsidiary, increased by 35%, to $4,476,000, and 38%, to $8,739,000 for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively, compared to the
same period in the prior year. The Companys product revenues from the Manufacturing and Marketing operating
segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were
generated in two primary market segments: Regional Anesthesia and IV Infusion
Therapy. Regional Anesthesia product revenues increased by 96%, to $7,513,000,
and by 93%, to $13,234,000, during the three and six months ended June 30,
2004, respectively, compared to $3,839,000 and $6,854,000 for the same periods
in the prior year. This increase resulted from increased market penetration by
the Companys ON-Q® PainBuster® Post-Operative Pain
Relief System, which resulted from rapid expansion of the
Companys sales force and a significant increase in awareness and
adoption of the product. Regional
Anesthesia products include the ON-Q® PainBuster® Post-Operative Pain Relief
System, the ON-Q® C-bloc® Continuous Nerve Block System and the Soaker TM
Catheter. IV Infusion Therapy product sales, which included the Companys intravenous
elastomeric pumps, mechanical infusion devices and electronic infusion pumps
and disposables, increased 22% and 13%, to $5,178,000 and $9,363,000, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, from $4,230,000 and
$8,320,000 for the same periods in the prior year. Revenues from the Rentals operating segment provided by the Companys
InfuSystem subsidiary within the Oncology Infusion Services market increased
35%, to $4,476,000, and 38%, to $8,739,000, for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2004, respectively, from $3,314,000 and $6,344,000 for the same
periods in the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from the increased
clinical usage of new chemotherapy drugs and protocols requiring the use of
continuous intravenous pump services. Cost of Revenue The Company incurred cost of sales of $5,221,000 and $9,903,000 during the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively, compared to
$4,032,000 and $7,487,000 for the comparable periods in the prior year. This
represents increases of 29% and 32%, respectively. These increases are
primarily due to higher sales volume. As a percentage of net product sales,
product cost of revenues decreased for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2004 by approximately seven percentage points and four percentage
points, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This
decrease was due to increased sales of higher-margin products, including the 12

Companys ON-Q® PainBuster® Post-Operative Pain Relief System, during the three
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004. As a percentage of rental revenues,
rental cost of revenue was relatively constant for the three months ended June
30, 2004 compared to the same period in the prior year. For the six months

116%, and $9,209,000, or 109%, respectively. For the three months ended June
30, 2004, these increases were primarily attributable to increases in
compensation and related expenses ($3,427,000), travel and entertainment
($644,000), temporary help ($200,000), outside commissions and royalties
($217,000), conferences and conventions ($146,000), and other costs related to
the expansion of the Companys direct sales force. As a percentage of net
revenues, selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2004 increased by 17 percentage points compared to the same period in the prior
year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the increase included increases
in compensation and related expenses ($5,904,000), travel and entertainment
($1,149,000), temporary help ($271,000), outside commissions and royalties
($299,000), conferences and conventions ($186,000), and other costs related to
the expansion of the Companys direct sales force. The number of
quota-carrying sales representatives in the Companys hospital
sales force as of June 30, 2004 was approximately double the
number in the previous year. As a percentage of net
revenues, selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004
increased by 17 percentage points compared to the same period in the prior
year. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2004 increased by $1,510,000, or 65%, and $2,668,000, or 56%,
respectively, compared to the comparable periods in the prior year. For the
three months ended June 30, 2004, these increases included increases in bad
debt provision, primarily for the Companys Infusystem subsidiary ($309,000),
compensation and related expenses ($614,000), depreciation expenses ($215,000),
legal expenses ($187,000) and investor relations expenses ($121,000), as well
as other increases due to growth of the Company. As a percentage of net
revenues, general and administrative expenses increased by two percentage
points compared to the same period in the prior year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the increases included increases
in bad debt provision, primarily for the Companys Infusystem subsidiary
($814,000), increased compensation and related expenses ($959,000),
depreciation expenses ($489,000), consulting expenses ($117,000), professional
accounting expenses ($108,000) and legal expenses ($82,000), as well as other
increases due to growth of the Company. As a percentage of net revenues,
general and administrative expenses increased by two percentage points compared
to the same period in the prior year. Product Development Expenses Product development expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30,
2004 increased by $171,000, or 33%, and $248,000, or 24%, respectively,
compared to the same periods in the prior year. For the three months ended
June 30, 2004, these increases included increased compensation and related
expenses ($104,000), consulting fees ($37,000) and engineering supplies
($17,000). For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the increase included increased
compensation and related expenses ($88,000), consulting fees ($62,000),
amortization of patents ($24,000), engineering supplies ($22,000), outside
sterilization ($17,000) and regulatory testing ($10,000). The Company will
continue to incur product development expenses as it continues its efforts to
introduce new and improved technology and cost-efficient products into the
market. Product development expenses as a percentage of net revenues for each
of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 decreased by
approximately one half of a percentage point compared to the same periods in
the prior year, primarily due to higher sales levels. Income Taxes During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, the Company
recorded income tax benefits of $930,000 and $1,786,000, respectively, compared
to income tax benefits of $42,000 and $74,000 for the same periods in the prior
year. The Companys effective tax rates for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2004 13

were 38.2% and 37.3% compared to 42.9% and 42.5%, respectively, for the
comparable periods in the prior year, due primarily to changes in consolidated state tax rates. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, cash of $2,036,000 was used in
operating activities consisting of a net loss of $3,004,000 partially offset by
net non-cash expenses of $1,769,000, less net changes in operating assets and
liabilities of $801,000, primarily related to an increase in the provision for
doubtful accounts along with increased bad debt write-offs at the Companys
InfuSystem subsidiary. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, cash of $3,848,000 was used in
investing activities, compared to $2,050,000 for the same period in the prior
year. The expenditures in the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 consisted
of $3,600,000 used to acquire capital equipment, including electronic infusion
pumps for the Companys Rentals business segment, computer equipment, purchased
software, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, tooling and equipment
for use in the Companys operations and a net outflow related to the
acquisition of other assets, primarily patents, of $248,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, net cash of $43,753,000 was
provided by financing activities consisting primarily of $43,284,000 in net
proceeds from a public offering of common stock and $470,000 in proceeds
received upon the exercise of options and warrants to purchase common stock. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $53,036,000,
net accounts receivable of $12,317,000 and net working capital of $71,164,000.
Management believes the current funds, together with possible additional
borrowings on the existing lines of credit and other bank loans, are sufficient
to provide for the Companys projected needs to maintain operations for at
least the next 12 months. The Company may decide to sell additional equity
securities or increase its borrowings in order to fund or increase its
expenditures for selling and marketing, to fund increased product development,
or for other purposes. On April 19, 2004, the Company completed a public
offering of 2,990,000 shares of common stock which resulted in net proceeds to
the Company of approximately $43,284,000. See Note 5 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has a working capital line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank which
expires on April 30, 2005. Under the line of credit, the Company may borrow up
to the lesser of $4,000,000 or the sum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable
plus 25% of eligible inventory, as defined, at the banks prime rate (4.0% at
June 30, 2004). As of June 30, 2004, there were funds available for borrowing
of $4,000,000 and no outstanding borrowings. The Companys InfuSystem subsidiary has a revolving line of credit with a bank
under which it may borrow up to the lesser of $3,500,000 or 80% of eligible
accounts receivable, as defined, at the banks prime rate less 0.25% (3.75% at
June 30, 2004). There were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit
as of June 30, 2004 and there were funds available for borrowing of $3,500,000.
The credit line expires on June 30, 2006. In addition, InfuSystem has a loan
facility under which it may borrow up to $2,500,000 for the purchase of
equipment. As of June 30, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings under the
loan facility. The lines of credit and loan facility are collateralized by substantially all
of the Companys assets and require the Company to comply with covenants
principally relating to working capital and liquidity. As of June 30, 2004,
the Company believes that it was in compliance with all such covenants. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments As of June 30, 2004, future payments related to contractual obligations and

New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(FIN 46).
In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or
any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not
have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do
not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its
activities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a
company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the
variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the
entitys residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46
apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003.
With respect to variable interest entities created before January 31, 2003, in
December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R which, among other matters, revised the
implementation date to first fiscal years or interim periods ending after March
15, 2004, with the exception of Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). The
consolidated requirements apply to all SPEs in the first fiscal year or
interim period ending after December 15, 2003. As the Company has determined
that it does not have any SPEs to which these interpretations apply, the
Company adopted FIN46R in the first quarter of 2004 and such adoption did not
have a material impact on its financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity(SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an
issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both debt and equity and requires an issuer to classify the
following instruments as liabilities in its balance sheet:  
    
    a financial instrument issued in the form of shares that is
mandatorily redeemable and embodies an unconditional obligation that
requires the issuer to redeem it by transferring its assets at a
specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to
occur;
    
    a financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that
embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuers equity shares, or is
indexed to such an obligation, and requires the issuer to settle the
obligation by transferring assets; and
    
    a financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation
that the issuer must settle by issuing a variable number of its equity
shares if the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or
predominantly on (1) a fixed monetary amount, (2) variations in
something other than the fair value of the issuers equity shares, or
(3) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the
issuers equity shares. In November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 150-3 which
deferred the effective dates for applying certain provisions of SFAS 150
related to mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic
entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests for public
and nonpublic entities. For public entities, SFAS 150 is effective for mandatorily redeemable financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is effective for
all other financial instruments as of the first interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. For mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests that would not have to be
classified as liabilities by a subsidiary under the exception in paragraph 9 of
SFAS 150, but would be classified as liabilities by the parent, the
classification and measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are deferred
indefinitely. For other mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests that
were issued before November 5, 2003, the measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are
deferred indefinitely. For those instruments, the measurement guidance for
redeemable shares and noncontrolling interests in other literature shall apply
during the deferral period. The adoption of the other provisions of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact
on the Companys consolidated financial statements. 15

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Foreign Currency The Company has a subsidiary operating in Mexico. As a result, the Company is
exposed to potential transaction gains and losses resulting from fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has not and currently does not
hedge or enter into derivative contracts in an effort to address foreign
exchange risk. 
 Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that
evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in timely alerting them to material information relating to I-Flow Corporation
(including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the
Companys periodic SEC filings. There was no significant change in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting during the period covered
by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. 16

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION Risk Factors. We are updating and restating our risk factors as follows: RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY We have experienced net losses in prior periods and have an accumulated
deficit. We may not achieve profitability in the future. As of June 30, 2004, our accumulated deficit was approximately $18,087,000. We
had net losses of $1,504,000 and $3,004,000 for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2004, respectively. We had net income (loss) of $1,267,000,
($3,035,000) and $457,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003,
respectively. We may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future, and
further losses may arise. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2003, our total costs and
expenses increased by an amount greater than the increase in revenues, compared
to the year ended December 31, 2002. There can be no assurance that our future
revenue growth, if any, will be greater than the growth of our costs and
expenses. If the increase in our total costs and expenses continues to be
greater than any increase in our revenues, we will not be profitable. We have invested, and continue to invest, substantial resources into the sales
and marketing of our ON-Q products. If these products do not achieve
significant clinical acceptance or if our direct sales strategy is not
successful, our financial condition and operating results will be adversely
affected. Our current strategy assumes that our ON-Q products will be used in a
significant number of surgical procedures, ultimately becoming the standard of
care for many common procedures. We have invested, and continue to invest, a
substantial portion of our resources into the establishment of a direct sales
force for the sales and marketing of our ON-Q products. During the year ended
December 31, 2003, we invested approximately $16,800,000 in the sales and
marketing of our ON-Q products. A failure of our ON-Q products to achieve and
maintain a significant market presence, or the failure to successfully
implement our direct sales strategy, will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. Our products are highly regulated by a number of governmental agencies. Any
changes to the existing rules and regulations of these agencies may adversely
impact our ability to manufacture and market our products. Our activities are regulated by the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Under the
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, we are required, among other matters, to register
our facilities and to list our devices with the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), to file notice of our intent to market certain new
products under Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, to track the
location of certain of our products, and to report any incidents of death or
serious injury relating to our products. If we fail to comply with any of these
regulations, or if the FDA subsequently disagrees with the manner in which we
sought to comply with these regulations, we could be subjected to substantial
civil and criminal penalties and a recall, seizure or injunction with respect
to the manufacture or sale of our products. Each state also has similar regulations. For example, in California, we are
subject to annual production-site inspections in order to maintain our
manufacturing license. State regulations also specify standards for the storage
and handling of certain chemicals and disposal of their wastes. We are also
required to comply with federal, state and local environmental laws. Our
failure to comply with any of these laws could expose us to material
liabilities. Products intended for foreign export are subject to additional regulations,
including compliance with ISO 9000. In May 1995, we received ISO 9001
certification, which indicates that our products meet specified uniform
standards of quality and testing. We also were granted permission to use the CE
mark on certain of our products, which reflects approval of our products for
export into the 15 member countries of the European Union (the EU) and three
non-EU countries. In December 1996, the operations of Block Medical de Mexico,
S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary (Block Medical), including its
manufacturing facility, were added to our ISO certification and we received
permission to use the CE mark on all disposable elastomeric products we
manufacture. If we fail to comply with foreign regulations or to maintain ISO
certification or CE approval, the sale of our products could be suspended in
one or more of our foreign markets. 18

Furthermore, federal, state, local or foreign governments may enact new laws,
rules and regulations that may adversely impact our ability to manufacture and
market infusion devices by, for example, increasing our costs. Any impairment
of our ability to market our infusion devices or other products could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our compliance with laws frequently involves our subjective judgment. If we are
wrong in any of our interpretations of the laws, we could be subjected to
substantial penalties for noncompliance. In the ordinary course of business, management frequently makes subjective
judgments with respect to complying with the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as
well as other applicable state, local and foreign laws. If any of these
regulatory agencies disagrees with our interpretation of, or objects to the
manner in which we have attempted to comply with, the applicable law, we could
be subjected to substantial civil and criminal penalties and a recall, seizure
or injunction with respect to the manufacture or sale of our products. These
types of actions against us or our products could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations.
We may be unable to raise funds when needed or on acceptable terms. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, our operating activities used
cash of $2,036,000 and our investing activities used cash of $3,848,000. As of
June 30, 2004, we had cash on hand of $53,036,000 and net accounts receivable
of $12,317,000. We believe our current funds, together with possible additional
borrowings on our existing lines of credit and other bank loans, are sufficient
to provide for our projected needs to maintain operations for at least the next
12 months. This estimate, however, is based on assumptions that may prove to be
wrong. If our assumptions are wrong or if we experience further losses, we may
be required to curtail our operations and/or seek additional financing. Any additional equity financings may be dilutive to our existing stockholders
and may involve the issuance of securities that have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of our current stockholders. A debt financing, if
available, may involve restrictive covenants on our business that could limit
our operational and financial flexibility, and the amount of debt incurred
could make us more vulnerable to economic downturns or operational difficulties
and limit our ability to compete. Furthermore, financing may not be available
when needed and, if available, may not be on terms acceptable to us. Our intangible assets are subject to potential impairment charges that could
adversely affect our results of operations. As of June 30, 2004, $2,639,000 of our assets consisted of goodwill, an
intangible asset acquired through the acquisition of InfuSystem. The
determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect our financial statements. For
example, we review the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill on an
annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change to
indicate that an impairment of goodwill has possibly occurred. We compare
market value of our reporting units to book value, as well as consider other
factors, to determine whether or not any potential impairment of goodwill
exists. In fiscal year 2002, and as a result of the adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
effective January 1, 2002, we wrote-off $3,474,000 of goodwill related to past
acquisitions other than InfuSystem. We cannot guarantee that there will be no
additional impairment in the future related to InfuSystem or other acquisitions
we may make in the future. Any impairment charge will adversely affect our
results of operations. Our customers frequently receive reimbursement from private insurers and
governmental agencies. Any change in the overall reimbursement system may
adversely impact our business. The health care reimbursement system is in a constant state of change. Changes
often create financial incentives and disincentives that encourage or
discourage the use of a particular type of product, therapy or clinical
procedure. Market acceptance and sales of our products may be adversely
affected by changes or trends within the reimbursement system. Changes to the
health care system that favor technologies other than ours or that reduce
reimbursements to providers or treatment facilities that use our products may
adversely affect our ability to sell our products profitably. 19

Hospitals, alternate care site providers and physicians are heavily dependent
on payment for their services by private insurers and governmental agencies.
Changes in the reimbursement system could adversely affect our participation in
the industry. Our products fall into the general category of infusion devices
and related disposable products with regard to reimbursement issues. Except for
payments made to our InfuSystem subsidiary, the majority of reimbursements are
currently not paid directly to us. Rather, health care providers will often
request that their patients health insurance providers provide them with some
form of reimbursement for the disposables that are consumed in the patients
therapy. We believe that the current trend in the insurance industry (both private and
governmental) has been to eliminate cost-based reimbursement and to move
towards fixed or limited fees for service, thereby encouraging health care
providers to use the lowest cost method of delivering medications. This trend
may discourage the use of our products, create downward pressure on our average
prices and, ultimately, negatively affect our revenues. Changes in reimbursement rates may adversely impact InfuSystems revenues. InfuSystem depends primarily on third-party reimbursement for the collection of
its revenues. InfuSystem is paid directly by private insurers and governmental
agencies, often on a fixed fee basis, for infusion services provided by
InfuSystem to patients. InfuSystems revenues comprised 26% and 28% of our
consolidated revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004,
respectively. If the average fees allowable by private insurers or
governmental agencies were reduced, the negative impact on revenues of
InfuSystem could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. Changes in reimbursement rates may adversely impact the revenue that we earn
from our developing billing strategy for our ON-Q products. Historically, we have charged health care providers for each ON-Q unit that
they purchase from us. Recently, we, through our InfuSystem subsidiary, have
begun to bill private insurers for the use of our ON-Q products in ambulatory
surgery centers, rather than charging these centers for the purchase price of
each ON-Q unit. If this sales strategy is successful, we expect to increase our
use of this sales strategy for ambulatory surgery centers. Any reduction in the
average fees allowable by private insurers for the use of our ON-Q products in
ambulatory surgery centers could negatively affect our ability to generate
revenue from the centers and this could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. Our industry is intensely competitive and changes rapidly. If we are unable to
maintain a technological lead over our competitors, our business operations
will suffer. The drug infusion industry is highly competitive. We compete in this industry
based primarily on product performance, service and price. Some of our
competitors have significantly greater resources than we do for research and
development, manufacturing, marketing and sales. As a result, they may be
better able to compete for market share, even in areas in which our products
may be superior. We continue our efforts to introduce clinically effective,
cost-efficient products into the market, but the industry is subject to
technological changes and we may not be able to maintain any existing
technological advantage long enough to establish our products and to achieve
and sustain profitability. We may also see significant pricing pressure if new
competitors enter into our target markets. If we are unable to effectively
compete in our market, our financial condition and results of operations will
materially suffer. We rely on independent suppliers for parts and materials necessary to assemble
our products. Any delay or disruption in the supply of parts may prevent us
from manufacturing our products and negatively impact our operations. Although we perform the final assembly and testing of our infusion systems,
certain component parts, as well as molded products, are obtained from outside
vendors based on our specifications. The loss or breakdown of our relationships
with these outside vendors could subject us to substantial delays in the
delivery of our products to customers. Significant delays in the delivery of
our products could result in possible cancellation of orders and the loss of
customers. Furthermore, we have numerous suppliers of components and materials
that are sole-source suppliers. Because these suppliers are the only vendors
with which we have a relationship for a particular component or material, we
may be unable to produce and sell products if one of these suppliers becomes
unwilling or unable to 20

deliver components or materials meeting our specifications. Our inability to manufacture and sell products to meet delivery
schedules could have a material adverse effect on our reputation in the
industry, as well as our financial condition and results of operations. If one of our products proves to be defective or is misused by a health care
practitioner or patient, we may be subject to claims of liability that could
adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our operations. A defect in the design or manufacture of our products, or a failure of our
products to perform for the use that we specify, could have a material adverse
effect on our reputation in the industry and subject us to claims of liability
for injuries and otherwise. Misuse of our product by a practitioner or patient
that results in injury could similarly subject us to claims of liability. We
currently have in place product liability insurance in the amount of
$10,000,000 for liability losses, including legal defense costs. Any
substantial underinsured loss would have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any impairment of
our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our sales, revenues and
prospects for future business. We are dependent on our proprietary technology and the patents, copyrights and
trademarks that protect our products. If competitors are able to independently
develop products of equivalent or superior capabilities, the results of our
operations could be adversely impacted. We rely substantially on proprietary technology and capabilities. We have filed
patent applications in the United States for substantially all of our products.
We currently hold approximately 40 patents, including patents that relate to
both the ON-Q® Post-Operative Pain Relief System (now known as the ON-Q®
PainBuster® Post-Operative Pain Relief System) and the
SoakerTM Catheter. We
have also filed for intellectual property right protection in all foreign
countries in which we currently derive significant revenue. Our patents
generally expire between 2009 and 2015, with significant patents expiring in
2009. Without sufficient intellectual property right protection, our
competitors may be able to sell products identical to ours and cause a downward
pressure on the selling price of our products. There can be no assurance that pending patent or trademark applications will be
approved or that any patents will provide competitive advantages for our
products or will not be challenged or circumvented by competitors or others.
Our competitors may also independently develop products with equivalent or
superior capabilities or otherwise obtain access to our capabilities. We manufacture the majority of our products in Mexico. Any difficulties or
disruptions in the operation of our plant may adversely impact our operations. The majority of our products are manufactured in Mexico by Block Medical, a
wholly-owned subsidiary. We may encounter difficulties with the uncertainties
inherent in doing business in a foreign country, including economic, political
and regulatory uncertainties. Our stockholders equity may also be adversely
affected by unfavorable translation adjustments arising from differences in
exchange rates from period to period. In addition, we have not and currently do
not hedge or enter into derivative contracts in an effort to address foreign
exchange risk. If there are difficulties or problems in our Mexico facility, or
other disruptions in our production and delivery process affecting product
availability, these difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. A significant portion of our sales is to customers in foreign countries. We may
lose sales, market share and profits due to exchange rate fluctuations and
other factors related to our foreign business. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, sales to customers in
foreign countries comprised approximately 16% and 17% of our revenues,
respectively. Our foreign business is subject to economic, political and
regulatory uncertainties and risks that are unique to each area of the world.
Fluctuations in exchange rates may also affect the prices that our foreign
customers are willing to pay, and may put us at a price disadvantage compared
to other competitors. Potentially volatile shifts in exchange rates may
negatively affect our financial condition and operations. We currently rely on two distributors for a significant percentage of our
sales. If our relationship with one or both of these distributors were to
deteriorate, our sales may materially decline. 21

During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, sales to B. Braun Medical S.A.
(France), a distributor in Europe, and B. Braun Medical, Inc., a national
distributor in the United States, accounted for approximately 10% and
4%, respectively, of our net
revenues. Any deterioration in our relationship with B. Braun Medical S.A. or
B. Braun Medical, Inc. could cause a material decline in our overall sales and
have a material adverse effect on our business. The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions that may ultimately prove to be incorrect. The accounting estimates and judgments that management must make in the
ordinary course of business affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the periods presented. If the underlying estimates
are ultimately proven to be incorrect, subsequent adjustments could have a
material adverse effect on our operating results for the period or periods in
which the change is identified. Additionally, subsequent adjustments could
require us to restate our financial statements. Restating financial statements
could result in a material decline in the price of our stock. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK The average trading volume for our common stock is relatively low when compared
to most larger companies. As a result, there may be less liquidity and more
volatility associated with our common stock, even if our business is doing
well. Our common stock has been traded publicly since February 13, 1990, and since
then has had only a few market makers. The average daily trading volume for our
shares during the month of July 2004 was approximately 280,000 shares. There
can be no assurance that a more active or established trading market for our
common stock will develop or, if developed, will be maintained. The market price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be
highly volatile. Market prices for securities of biotechnology and medical
device companies, including ours, have historically been highly volatile, and
the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that appear unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. The following factors, among others, can have a significant effect
on the market price of our securities:  
    
    Announcements of technological innovations, new products, or clinical studies by us or others;
    
    government regulation;
    
    developments in patent or other proprietary rights;
    
    future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by existing stockholders or by us; and
    
    comments by securities analysts and general market conditions. The realization of any of the risks described in these Risk Factors could
have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. Future sales of our common stock by existing stockholders could negatively
affect the market price of our stock and make it more difficult for us to sell
stock in the future. Sales of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such
sales could occur, could result in a decline in the market price of our common
stock and make it more difficult for us to complete future equity financings. A
substantial number of shares of our common stock and shares of common stock
subject to outstanding warrants may be resold pursuant to currently effective
registration statements. As of August 1, 2004, there were:  
    
    21,304,489 shares of common stock that have been issued in registered
offerings and are freely tradable in the public markets; 22




---



##### Table of Contents




    
    225,111 shares of common stock underlying warrants which have been
registered for resale under a Registration Statement on Form S-3
(Registration No. 333-109096);
    
    131,000 shares of vested and unvested restricted common stock that
have been issued under our restricted stock plans; and
    
    an aggregate of 4,179,739 shares of common stock that may be issued
upon the exercise of stock options and stock rights outstanding under
our equity incentive plans. We cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock that may actually be
resold in the public market because this will depend on the market price for
our common stock, the individual circumstances of the sellers and other
factors. If stockholders sell large portions of their holdings in a relatively
short time, for liquidity or other reasons, the market price of our common
stock could decline significantly. Anti-takeover devices may prevent a sale, or changes in the management, of
I-Flow. We have in place several anti-takeover devices, including a stockholder rights
plan, that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a sale, or changes in
the management, of I-Flow. For example, one anti-takeover device provides for a
board of directors that is separated into three classes, with their terms in
office staggered over three-year periods. This has the effect of delaying a
change in control of the board of directors without the cooperation of the
incumbent board. In addition, our bylaws do not allow stockholders to call a
special meeting of stockholders or act by written consent, and also require
stockholders to give written notice of any proposal or director nomination to
us within a specified period of time prior to any stockholder meeting. We may also issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval and
upon terms that our board of directors may determine in the future. The
issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult
for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding stock, and the
holders of such preferred stock could have voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights superior to those of holders of our common stock. We do not pay dividends and this may negatively affect the price of our stock. We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The future price of
our common stock may be depressed because we do not pay dividends. In the future, our common stock may be removed from listing on the Nasdaq
quotation system and may not qualify for listing on any stock exchange, in
which case it may be difficult to find a market in our stock. If our common stock is no longer traded on a national trading market, it may be
more difficult for you to sell shares that you own, and the price of our common
stock would likely be negatively affected. Currently, our common stock is
traded on the Nasdaq National Market. Nasdaq has a number of continued listing
requirements, including a minimum trading price requirement. Failure to comply
with any Nasdaq continued listing requirement could cause our common stock to
be removed from listing on Nasdaq. Should this occur, we may not be able to
secure listing on other exchanges or quotation systems, and this would have a
material adverse effect on the price and liquidity of our common stock. 23
