NATUS MEDICAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of
Natus Medical Incorporated (Natus, we, us, or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Except as
updated below, the accounting policies followed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent in all material respects with those presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Interim financial reports are prepared in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited,
but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency

Effective January 1, 2009, the Companys Canadian subsidiary, Xltek changed its functional currency to the U.S. dollar. The change in functional
currency reflects the fact that Xltek now conducts the majority of its business transactions in U.S. dollars and maintains a significant portion of its balance sheet in U.S. dollar denominated accounts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. (SFAS) 168,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of
authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 is effective for our September 30, 2009 condensed consolidated
financial statements. SFAS 168 does not change GAAP and will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued of SFAS 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS
165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. As of this date we have adopted SFAS 165 and have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim period financial statements of publicly traded companies and in summarized financial information required by APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. See Note 12.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141R-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends the guidance in SFAS 141R to require contingent assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination to be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be reasonably estimated during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated during the
measurement period, the contingent asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation (FIN) 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss. Further,
this FSP eliminated the specific subsequent accounting guidance for contingent assets and liabilities from SFAS 141R, without significantly revising the guidance in SFAS 141. However, contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by
the acquirer in a business combination would still be initially and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 141R. This FSP is effective for all business acquisitions occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 141R-1 did not have any substantive impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should
consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets
that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008.
The adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The
fair value measurement election is irrevocable and subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. We adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008 and have
elected not to measure any financial instruments or other items at fair value.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R (revised 2007),
Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R expands the definition of a business combination and requires the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition, including the issuance of equity securities, to be determined on
the acquisition date. SFAS 141R also requires that all assets, liabilities, contingent consideration and contingencies of an acquired business to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141R requires that acquisition
costs generally be expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the
measurement period that impacts income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early adoption prohibited. We adopted SFAS 141R at the beginning of fiscal 2009 and will change our accounting
treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.

In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 provides enhanced
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but does require expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and
liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for financial assets and financial liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP 157-2 delayed, for one year, the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed in the financial statements on at least an annual basis. The implementation of SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position
and results of operations. We have disclosed the fair value of our financial assets in Note 12. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on our consolidated financial position and
results of operations.

2 - Business Combinations, Goodwill, and Intangible Assets

Neurocom

On October 2, 2008 we
completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Neurocom International, Inc. (Neurocom) for $18.2 million including direct costs of the acquisition. Neurocom, based in Clackamas, Oregon, develops and markets computerized
systems for the assessment and rehabilitation of balance and mobility disorders. The acquisition added to our growth opportunities by broadening the product offerings in our neurology business.

Valuing certain components of the acquisition, including primarily accrued warranty costs and other accrued expenses, required us to make estimates that
may be adjusted in the future; consequently, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary.

Schwarzer Neurology

We acquired Schwarzer Neurology, a division of Schwarzer GmbH, on July 2, 2008 for EUR 4.5 million, or approximately $7.0
million including direct costs of the acquisition. Schwarzer Neurology develops and markets computer-based electrodiagnostic systems and disposable supplies used by medical practitioners to aid in the detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of
neurologic disorders. The acquisition broadened our product offerings in the EEG market, allowing us to further leverage its international distribution organization.

Valuing certain components of the acquisition, including primarily inventory, accrued warranty costs, and other accrued expenses, required us to make estimates that may be adjusted in the future; consequently, the
purchase price allocation is considered preliminary.

We are obligated to make additional payments pursuant to an earnout provision in the
purchase agreement based on the achievement of certain revenue targets. The maximum potential future amount payable under this provision is EUR 450,000 or approximately $630,000 if the maximum target sales are achieved during the period
July 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009. To date, we have not recorded additional purchase consideration as a result of this provision.

Sonamed

We acquired Sonamed Corporation (Sonamed) on May 27, 2008, for $9.0 million including direct costs
of the acquisition. In June 2008 we transitioned substantially all of the operations of Sonamed to our Bio-logic facility in Mundelein, Illinois. The acquisition expanded our product offerings in newborn hearing screening.

Olympic

We acquired privately held
Olympic Medical on October 16, 2006 for $16.9 million. To date we have recorded $1.5 million of additional purchase consideration pursuant to an earnout provision in the purchase agreement based on the achievement of certain revenue
targets for sales of the Olympic Cool-Cap. At June 30, 2009 the maximum potential future amount payable under this provision, based on sales results from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, is $1.5 million.

Amortization of Intangible Assets Acquired Through Business Combinations

Amortization of intangible assets associated with our business combinations was $998,000 and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, respectively, and $919,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Capitalized
Software Development Costs

Pursuant to SFAS 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
Marketed, we had no capitalized costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, and $134,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Pursuant to FASB Statement of Position No (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal
Use, we capitalized software development costs of $169,000 and $343,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and $400,000 and $786,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

We report capitalized software development costs as a component of intangible assets. Amortization of capitalized software development
costs was $120,000 and $252,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, with no amortization in the 2008 respective periods.

3 - Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per share is computed in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per
Share.Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are options granted and shares of restricted stock issued under our stock awards plans and are calculated under the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares from unexercised
stock options and restricted stock are excluded from the computation when there is a loss as their effect is anti-dilutive, or if the exercise price of such options is greater than the average market price of the stock for the period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, common stock equivalents of 631,443 and 582,538 shares, respectively, were included in the
weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, common stock equivalents of 1,972,024 and 1,671,547 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of
diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of such options was greater than the average market price of the stock for the periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, common stock equivalents of 1,266,090 and 1,253,111
shares, respectively, were included in the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, common stock equivalents of 178,398 and 378,936 shares, respectively,
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of such options was greater than the average market price of the stock for the periods.

6 - Reserve for Product Warranties

We provide a warranty on all medical device products that is
generally one year in length. We also sell extended service agreements on our medical device products. Service for domestic customers is provided by Company-owned service centers that perform all service, repair and calibration services. Service for
international customers is provided by a combination of Company-owned facilities and third-party vendors on a contract basis.

We have
accrued a warranty reserve, included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, for the expected future costs of servicing products during the initial warranty period. Amounts are added to the reserve on a
per-unit basis by reference to historical experience in honoring warranty obligations. On new products, where we do not have historical experience of the cost to honor warranties, additions to the reserve are based on a combination of factors
including the standard cost of the product and other judgments, such as the degree to which the product incorporates new technology. As warranty costs are incurred, the reserve is reduced.

The details of activity in the warranty reserve are as follows (in thousands):

7 - Share-Based Compensation

At June 30, 2009, we have the following plans that give rise to share-based compensation: (i) two active stock option plans, the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Awards Plan and the 2000 Director Option Plan,
and (ii) the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The terms of awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and our methods for determining grant-date fair value of the awards were consistent with those described in the
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

9 - Income Taxes

Provision for Income Tax

We recorded a provision for income tax of $1.5 million and $1.9 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 38.7% and 38.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

We recorded a provision for income tax of $2.4 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Our
effective tax rate was 39.1% and 39.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Deferred Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and
liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is
more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance is not provided for the majority of our deferred tax assets, as we believe that it is more likely than not that those deferred tax assets
will be fully realized.

Uncertain Tax Positions

We have cumulatively accrued approximately $588,000 for estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2009. We recorded approximately $51,000 and $102,000 of interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax positions as a component of income tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively and $69,000 and $138,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
respectively.

Our tax returns remain open to examination as follows: U.S. federal, 2004 through 2008; U.S. states, generally 2003 through
2008; significant foreign jurisdictions, generally 2005 through 2008.

On September 2, 2008, we executed a second amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
(the Second Amendment) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo). The Second Amendment increased the borrowing limit of our revolving line of credit to $25 million and made other changes to the terms of the
credit facility. Additional revisions to the credit facility were executed in February 2009 and June 2009. The credit facility contains covenants, including covenants relating to liquidity and other financial measurements, and provides for events of
default, including failure to pay any interest when due, failure to perform or observe covenants, bankruptcy or insolvency events, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect. We have granted Wells Fargo a security interest in all of our assets.
As of June 30, 2009 there were no outstanding borrowings on the credit facility.

In accordance with SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, Level 1 evaluations are based on
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 evaluations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly
or indirectly. Bank money market accounts have a net asset value of $1.00 per share and are classified as Level 2 assets. Level 3 evaluations are based on assets and liabilities for which there are no observable inputs that are significant to the
overall fair value measurement.

13 - Subsequent Events

We evaluated all subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet through August 7, 2009, which represents the date these financial statements are being filed with the SEC. Except as noted below there were no
events or transactions occurring during this subsequent event reporting period which require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Acquisition of Hawaii Medical, LLC

On July 2, 2009, we acquired Hawaii Medical, LLC for a cash price of $2.9 million,
with the potential for additional consideration depending upon the achievement of certain revenue targets. Hawaii Medical, which manufactures and markets single-use disposable products sold into the nursery and neonatal intensive care unit
(NICU) in hospitals, reported revenue of approximately $3.2 million in the 12 months ended June 30, 2009, selling substantially all of their products through a single national distributor in North America. We expect to transition
those sales to our existing newborn-care direct sales force during the third quarter of 2009 and to launch these products internationally in the fourth quarter.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, no single customer or foreign country
contributed to more than 10% of revenue, and revenue from services was less than 10% of revenue.

2009 Second Quarter Overview

Our revenue decreased 7% to $37.3 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $39.9 million reported in the comparable quarter of
the previous year. Net income decreased 38% to $2.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009, compared with net income of $3.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008.

The severe worldwide economic downturn that started to impact our business in December 2008 continued to influence our results for the second quarter of
2009. In the quarter, hospitals in the United States reduced expenditures on capital equipment, but the decrease was smaller than the first quarter of 2009. This impacted sales of all the Companys product lines except our newborn care
products. We saw a small increase in capital equipment spending outside the United States. Revenue from our neurology, balance and mobility, hearing diagnostic, and newborn hearing equipment products were all down by at least 14% year over year. We
believe this trend will continue through the remainder of the year, but we believe the reduction in capital equipment purchases has stabilized.

Subsequent Event

On July 2, 2009, we acquired Hawaii Medical LLC for a cash price of $2.9 million, with the potential
for additional consideration depending upon the achievement of certain revenue targets. Hawaii Medical, which manufactures and markets single-use disposable products sold into the nursery and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in
hospitals, reported revenue of approximately $3.2 million in the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, selling substantially all of their products through a single national distributor in North America. We expect to transition those sales to our
existing newborn-care direct sales force during the third quarter of 2009 and launch these products internationally in the fourth quarter.

Application
of Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP). In so doing, we must often make estimates and use assumptions that can be subjective, and, consequently, our actual results could differ from those estimates. For any given individual estimate or
assumption we make, there may also be other estimates or assumptions that are reasonable.

We believe that the following critical
accounting policies require the use of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments. The use of different estimates, assumptions, or judgments could have a material affect on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and
related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period:



| |  |  | Revenue recognition
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | Allowance for doubtful accounts
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market value
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Liability for product warranties
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | Share-based compensation
| | - |  | ------------------------

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period classification of revenue as devices
and systems or supplies and services to conform to the current presentation.

We acquired Sonamed in May 2008, Schwarzer Neurology in July
2008 and Neurocom in October 2008. Where significant, we have noted the impact of these acquisitions on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Revenue decreased $2.6 million, or 6.5%, for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 from the comparable 2008 period. The decrease was due primarily to lower capital equipment sales across most of our product lines. We believe that
these lower sales resulted from weakness in demand due to the current economic recession and not a loss of market share. Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom contributed to $3.3 million of revenue offset by a $6.0 million decrease in capital equipment
revenue.

Device and systems revenue decreased $3.3 million, or 13.7%, to $20.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009
compared to $24.0 million in the same period in 2008. Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom contributed to $2.6 million of revenue from devices and systems offset by a $4.8 million decrease in revenue from other neurology products, and a $1.0 million
decrease in revenue from hearing products. Revenue from devices and systems was 56% of consolidated revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 60% of consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2008.

Supplies and services revenue increased 5%, or $687,000, to $15.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $15.1 in the same period in 2008. In
the 2009 second quarter, revenue from hearing screening and neurology supplies increased by $196,000 and service fees increased by $491,000. Revenue from supplies and services was 42% of consolidated revenue in the three months ended June 30,
2009 compared to 38% of consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2008.

Revenue from sales outside the U.S. increased $247,000, or 2.2%, to $11.5 million in the second quarter
of 2009 compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2008. Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom contributed to $1.9 million of international revenue, offset by $1.2 million decrease in revenue from international systems and devices and an $800,000
decrease in related international supplies and services revenue.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 61.4% for both the three
months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. The lower margin earned on products of Schwarzer Neurology, which we acquired at the beginning of the third quarter of 2008, was offset by the higher margin earned on balance monitoring
products of Neurocom, which we acquired at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008. Cost of revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 6.5%, to $14.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $15.4 million in 2008, reflecting reduced
sales in the 2009 period. Gross profit decreased $1.6 million, or 6.5%, to $22.9 million in 2009, from $24.5 million in 2008.

Total
operating costs increased by $783,000 or 4.2%, to $19.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $18.7 million in the same period in 2008. Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom, contributed to $1.9 million of operating costs,
while other operating costs were approximately 6% lower in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The reduction in operating expenses exclusive of Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom reflect the impact of our 2008 restructuring
plan and the implementation of tighter cost controls.

Marketing and selling expenses increased $1.1 million, or 11.7%, to $10.3 million in
the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $9.2 million in the same period in 2008. Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom contributed to $1.2 million of marketing and selling expenses, while other marketing and selling expenses were flat in
the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

Research and development expenses decreased $118,000, or 2.9%, to $4.0
million for in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $4.1 million in the same period of 2008. Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom contributed to $407,000 of research and development expenses, while other research and development
expenses were approximately 13% lower in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The reduction in research and development expenses exclusive of Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom reflect the impact of our 2008 restructuring
plan and lower outside service costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased $170,000, or 3.1%, to $5.3 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to $5.5 million in the same period in 2008. Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom contributed to $266,000 of general and administrative expenses, while other general and administrative expenses were approximately 8%
lower in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, reflecting tighter cost controls.

We adopted an integration and
restructuring plan in February 2008 that was designed to reduce redundant costs resulting from prior acquisitions and to improve efficiencies in operations. These actions were phased in during the first nine months of 2008. Costs under the plan,
which were primarily for severance benefits, stay bonuses, and duplicative salaries, totaled approximately $700,000. Pursuant to the plan, we accrued $141,000 of employee termination benefits in the three months ended June 30, 2008. We had no
similar costs in the respective period in 2009.

Other income, net consists of investment income from our investment portfolio, interest
expense, net currency exchange gains and losses, and other miscellaneous income and expenses. We reported net other income of $387,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $386,000 in the same period in 2008 due primarily to
lower investment income and interest expense and net currency losses in 2009 as compared with higher investment income, higher interest expense and net currency gains in the same period in 2008.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $2.4 million in the same period in 2008. Our
effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2009 was 38.7% compared to an effective rate of 39.1% in the second quarter of 2008.

Six Months Ended
June 30, 2009

Revenue decreased $6.1 million, or 8.0%, for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 from the comparable 2008
period. The decrease was due primarily to lower capital equipment sales across all of our product lines. We believe that these lower sales resulted from weakness in demand due to the current economic recession and not a loss of market share.
Schwarzer Neurology and Neurocom contributed to $6.3 million of revenue offset by a $10.7 million decrease in revenue from our other capital equipment products. Revenue from supplies and services increased by 3.8% to $29.4 million.

administrative expenses, while other general and administrative expenses were approximately 13% lower in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, reflecting tighter cost controls.

Pursuant to an integration and restructuring plan adopted in February 2008, we accrued $237,000 of employee termination benefits in the six months ended
June 30, 2008. We had no similar costs in the respective period in 2009.

Other income, net consists of investment income from our
investment portfolio, interest expense, net currency exchange gains and losses, and other miscellaneous income and expenses. We reported net other income of $513,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $386,000 in the same period
in 2008 due primarily to lower interest expense and lower investment income in 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

We recorded
income tax expense of $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $4.1 million in the same period in 2008. Our effective tax rate in the first six months of 2009 was 38.0% compared to an effective rate of 39.0% in the same
period in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet our obligations and commitments. In addition, liquidity includes the ability to obtain appropriate financing or to raise
capital. Therefore, liquidity cannot be considered separately from capital resources that consist of our current funds and the potential to increase those funds in the future. We plan to use our capital resources in meeting our commitments and in
achieving our business objectives.

As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $67.7 million, short-term investments of
$866,000, stockholders equity of $232.6 million, and working capital of $110.6 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $56.9 million, stockholders equity of $226.5 million, and working capital of $102.3 million as of
December 31, 2008.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term balances, including cash generated from
operations, will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We completed one acquisition in 2009, three acquisitions in 2008, one in 2007, and three in 2006. We intend to continue to acquire
additional technologies, products or businesses, and these acquisitions could be significant. These actions would likely affect our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds. We may be required to raise additional funds
through public or private financings, strategic relationships, or other arrangements. Any equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and increase our cost of capital.

On September 2, 2008, we executed a second amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Second Amendment)
with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo). The Second Amendment increased the borrowing limit of our revolving line of credit to $25 million and made other changes to the terms of the credit facility. Additional revisions
to the credit facility were executed in February 2009 and June 2009. The credit facility contains covenants, including covenants relating to liquidity and other financial measurements, and provides for events of default, including failure to pay any
interest when due, failure to perform or observe covenants, bankruptcy or insolvency events and the occurrence of a material adverse effect. We have granted Wells Fargo a security interest in all of our assets.

Cash provided by operations increased by $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $13.9 million, compared to $5.0 million for the same
period in 2008. The sum of our net income and non-cash expense items, such as reserves, depreciation and amortization, and stock based compensation, was approximately $11.3 million in the 2009 period, compared to $10.6 million in 2008. The overall
impact of changes in certain operating assets and liabilities on total operating cash flows resulted in a cash inflow of $2.6 million in 2009 compared with a cash outflow of $5.7 million in 2008.

Cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $20.3 million for the same period in 2008.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009 we paid $998,000 for acquired businesses and earnout obligations, net of cash acquired, and $866,000 for investment in marketable securities, compared to $6.8 million paid for net business acquisitions
and $11.0 million for marketable securities in 2008. We paid $2.1 million for purchases of property and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $1.8 million in the same period of 2008, and capitalized $377,000 of internal
use software development costs in 2009 compared to $738,000 in 2008.

Cash provided by financing activities was $337,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $68.7 million in the same period in 2008. We raised cash through sales of our stock pursuant to our stock awards plans and our employee stock purchase plan in the amount of $414,000 and $1.5 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We raised an aggregate of $99.5 million through underwritten public offerings of our common stock in April and May 2008 with no similar transactions in 2009. We also realized an excess
tax benefit of $12,000 on the exercise of employee stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2009 that was recorded as an increase to stockholders equity, as compared with a tax benefit of $702,000 in the first six months of 2008.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we increased our borrowings under our credit facility by $6.0 million and we repaid $23.0 million on our term loan and $16.0 million on our revolving credit facility resulting in a net cash outflow of
$33.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with payments of $89,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the:



| |  |  | Amount and timing of revenue;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | Extent to which our existing and new products gain market acceptance;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course
of business, we enter into obligations and commitments that require future contractual payments. The commitments primarily result from firm, noncancellable purchase orders placed with contract vendors that manufacture some of the components used in
our medical devices and related disposable supply products, as well as commitments for leased office, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities. There have been no material changes to the table of contractual obligations presented in Item 7,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Under our bylaws, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director
serving in such capacity. We have a directors and officers liability insurance policy that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any amounts paid resulting from the indemnification of our directors and officers. In
addition, we enter into indemnification agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and we have not recorded a liability for these agreements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See
Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements that affect us.

Cautionary Information
Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 about Natus Medical Incorporated. These statements include, among other things, statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, intentions, future operations,
financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. The words may, will, continue, estimate, project, intend, believe, expect,
anticipate, and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Item 2 include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following: our effective tax rate for 2009,
our expectation that the reduction in capital equipment purchases has stabilized and will not further deteriorate, our expectation regarding expansion of our international operations, our expectations regarding our new products, the sufficiency of
our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances, and any cash generated from operations to meet our ongoing operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future, our expectations with respect to integration of
products acquired from Hawaii Medical and our intent to acquire additional technologies, products, or businesses

Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results predicted in the forward-looking statements as well as our future financial condition and results of
operations to differ materially from our historical results or currently anticipated results. Investors should carefully review the information contained under the caption Risk Factors contained in Part II, Item 1A of this report
for a description of risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements.



|ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We develop products in the U.S., Canada, and Europe and sell those products primarily in the U.S., Europe and Asia. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak
economic conditions in foreign markets. Most of our sales in Europe and Asia are denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros, and with the acquisition of Xltek in November 2007, a small portion of our sales are now denominated in Canadian dollars. As our
sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar increase, our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations may increase.

In addition, changes
in exchange rates also may affect the end-user prices of our products compared to those of our foreign competitors, who may be selling their products based on local currency pricing. These factors may make our products less competitive in some
countries.

##### Table of Contents

If the U.S. dollar uniformly increased or decreased in strength by 10% relative to the currencies in
which our sales were denominated, our net income would have correspondingly increased or decreased by an immaterial amount for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest
rates in the U.S. However, because current market conditions have resulted in historically low rates of return on our investments, a hypothetical decrease 10% in market interest rates would not result in a material decrease in interest income earned
on investments held at June 30, 2009.

When able, we invest excess cash in bank money-market funds or discrete short-term investments.
The fair value of short-term investments and cash equivalents (investments) is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the U.S., and the fair value of these investments will fall if market interest rates increase.
However, since we generally have the ability to hold these investments to maturity, these declines in fair value may never be realized. If market interest rates were to increase by 10% from levels at June 30, 2009, the fair value of our
investments would decline by an immaterial amount.

All of the potential changes noted above are based on sensitivity analyses performed on
our financial position as of June 30, 2009. Actual results may differ as our analysis of the effects of changes in interest rates does not account for, among other things, sales of securities prior to maturity and repurchase of replacement
securities, the change in mix or quality of the investments in the portfolio, and changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates.



|ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, disclosure controls and
procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that as of June 30, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
for the purpose set forth above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or
under the supervision of, an issuers principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by the issuers board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, 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
|------- | -----------------

We may from time to time become
a party to various legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Our management reviews these matters if and when they arise and believes that the resolution of any of these matters will not have a significant adverse
effect on our financial condition.



|ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

We have completed a number of acquisitions and
expect to complete additional acquisitions in the future. There are numerous risks associated with acquisitions and we may not achieve the expected benefit of any of our acquisitions

Our acquisitions of products, technology assets, or businesses may have a negative impact on our business if we fail to achieve the anticipated
financial, strategic, and other benefits of acquisitions or investments, and our operating results may suffer because of this.



-22-

##### Table of Contents

We acquired intellectual property assets and technology patents from Pemstar Pacific Consultants during
2002, Neometrics Inc. and affiliated entities in 2003; Fischer-Zoth in 2004, Bio-logic, Deltamed, and Olympic Medical, and certain assets of Nascor in 2006, Xltek in 2007, Sonamed, Schwarzer Neurology, and Neurocom in 2008, and Hawaii Medical in
2009.

We expect to continue to pursue opportunities to acquire other businesses in future periods. The acquisitions that we have completed
may not result in improved operating results for us, or in our achieving a financial condition superior to that which we would have achieved had we not completed them. Our results of operations may be adversely impacted by costs associated with our
acquisitions, including one-time charges associated with restructurings or in-process research and development assets. Our acquisitions could fail to produce the benefits that we anticipate, or could have other adverse effects that we currently do
not foresee. In addition, some of the assumptions that we have relied upon, such as achievement of operating synergies, may not be realized. In this event, one or more of the acquisitions could result in reduced earnings of Natus as compared to the
earnings that would have been achieved by Natus if the acquisition had not occurred.

We have incurred indebtedness to fund some of our
acquisitions. The use of debt to fund our acquisitions may have an adverse impact on our liquidity and cause us to place more reliance on cash flow from operations for our liquidity. If our cash flow from operations is not sufficient for our needs,
our business could be adversely affected. If we are required to seek additional external financing to support our need for cash to fund future acquisitions, we may not have access to financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.
Alternatively, we may feel compelled to access additional financing on terms that are dilutive to existing holders of our common stock or that include covenants that restrict our business, or both. If the recent lack of liquidity in credit markets
persists into the future, our ability to obtain debt financing for future acquisitions may be impaired.

If we fail to successfully manage
the combined operations of Natus and the businesses we have acquired, we may not realize the potential benefits of the acquisition. Our corporate headquarters are located in San Carlos, California. We also have the following operating divisions:
Bio-logic in Illinois, Olympic in Washington, Neurocom in Oregon, Neometrics in New York, Xltek in Ontario, Canada, Deltamed in France, and Fischer-Zoth, IT Med and Schwarzer Neurology in Germany. If we fail to manage these disparate operations
effectively, our results of operations could be harmed, employee morale could decline, key employees could leave, and customers could cancel existing orders or choose not to place new ones. In addition, we may not achieve the synergies or other
benefits of these and future acquisitions that we anticipate. We may encounter the following additional difficulties, costs, and delays involved in integrating and managing these operations, and the operations of companies we may acquire:



| |  |  | Failure of customers to continue using the products and services of the combined company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to successfully develop the acquired technology into the desired products or enhancements;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Assumption of unknown liabilities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to understand and compete effectively in markets and with products or technologies with which we have limited previous experience;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Impairment charges incurred to write down the carrying amount of intangible assets, including goodwill, generated as a result of the acquisition;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Decreased liquidity, restrictive bank covenants, and incremental financing costs associated with debt we may incur to complete future acquisitions; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business concerns.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our acquisitions of products, technology assets, or businesses may have a negative impact on our business if we fail to achieve the anticipated
financial, strategic and other benefits of acquisitions or investments, and our operating results may suffer because of this.

Adverse economic
conditions in markets in which we operate may harm our business

Unfavorable changes in U.S. and international economic environments may
adversely affect our business and financial results. For example, economic conditions in the countries in which we operate and sell products have recently



-23-



---

##### Table of Contents

become more negative and global financial markets have experienced volatility and declines since the third quarter of 2008. These conditions stem from slower
economic activity, adverse credit conditions, and numerous other factors, and we are unable to foresee when, or if, these factors might return to more normal levels. During challenging economic times, and in tight credit markets, our customers may
delay or reduce capital expenditures. These conditions began to adversely affect our operating results in December 2008 and continued to have a significant impact in the first half of 2009 and could continue to result in reductions in sales of our
products, longer sales cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, slower adoption of new technologies, and increased price competition. In addition, these factors have caused us to be more cautious in evaluating potential acquisition
opportunities, which could hinder our ability to grow through acquisition while these conditions persist.

Demand for some of our products depends on
the capital spending policies of our customers, and changes in these policies could harm our business

A majority of customers for our
products are hospitals, physician offices, and clinics. Many factors, including public policy spending provisions, available resources, and economic cycles have a significant effect on the capital spending policies of these entities and the amount
that they can spend on our products. If one or more of these factors limit the capital spending of our customers, they will be less likely to purchase new equipment from us or to upgrade to any of our newer equipment products. We believe that the
recent lack of liquidity in credit markets, increasing unemployment, and additional effects of the uncertainty in economic conditions worldwide, have had an adverse effect on the spending patterns of our customers and may continue to have such an
effect in future periods. This, in turn, can have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial position.

Our growth in recent
years has depended substantially on the completion of acquisitions and we may not be able to complete acquisitions of this nature or of a relative size in the future to support a similar level of growth

The acquisitions that we have completed have been the primary source of our growth in revenue in recent years. We expend considerable effort in seeking to
identify attractive acquisition candidates and, upon doing so, to convince the potential target to consider a sale to us and, ultimately, to negotiate mutually agreeable acquisition terms. If we are not successful in these efforts in the future, our
growth rate will not increase at a rate corresponding to that which we have achieved in recent years. Further, as we grow larger it will be necessary to complete the acquisition of larger companies and product lines to support a growth similar to
that which we have achieved in the past. The market for attractive acquisitions is competitive and others with greater financial resources than we have may be better positioned than we are to acquire desirable targets. Further, we may not be able to
negotiate acquisition terms with target companies that will allow us to achieve positive financial returns from the transaction.

Future changes in
technology or market conditions could result in adjustments to our recorded asset balance for intangible assets, including goodwill, resulting in additional charges that could significantly impact our operating results

Our balance sheet includes significant intangible assets, including goodwill and other acquired intangible assets. The determination of related estimated
useful lives and whether these assets are impaired involves significant judgments. Our ability to accurately predict future cash flows related to these intangible assets might be hindered by events over which we have no control. Due to the highly
competitive nature of the medical device industry, new technologies could impair the value of our intangible assets if they create market conditions that adversely affect the competitiveness of our products. We test our intangible assets, including
goodwill, in the fourth quarter of each year, but we may test more frequently if there is a change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. Any future determination that these assets are carried at
greater than their fair value could result in substantial impairment charges, which could significantly impact our operating results.

Our acquisitions
have included in-process research and development assets (IPR&D assets) from which we hope to generate future cash flows; our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to bring these assets to market

Through our acquisitions of other businesses, we have acquired IPR&D assets from which we hope to generate future cash flows. There is
inherent risk in bringing these IPR&D assets to market and we may be unable to realize the full value we have assigned to them. We may be unable to complete the development of these IPR&D assets in a timely manner, or we may encounter
technological difficulties that prevent us from completing their development. If we are unable to derive future revenue from our IPR&D assets, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

##### Table of Contents

We may not be able to preserve the value of our intellectual property because we may not be able to protect access to
it or we may lose our intellectual property rights due to expiration of our licenses or patents

If we fail to protect our intellectual
property rights or if our intellectual property rights do not adequately cover the technology we employ, other medical device companies could sell products with features similar to ours, and this could reduce demand for our products. We protect our
intellectual property through a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, others may attempt to copy or otherwise improperly obtain and use our products or technology.
Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and expensive, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may be inadequate. Enforcing our intellectual
property rights could be costly and time consuming and may divert our managements attention and resources. Failing to enforce our intellectual property rights could also result in the loss of those rights.

If health care providers are not adequately reimbursed for procedures conducted with our devices or supplies, or if reimbursement policies change adversely, we may
not be successful marketing and selling our products or technologies

Clinicians, hospitals, and government agencies are unlikely to
purchase our products if clinicians are not adequately reimbursed for the procedures conducted with our devices or supplies. Unless a sufficient amount of conclusive, peer-reviewed clinical data about our products has been published, third-party
payors, including insurance companies and government agencies, may refuse to provide reimbursement. Furthermore, even if reimbursement is provided, it may not be adequate to fully compensate the clinicians or hospitals. Some third-party payors may
impose restrictions on the procedures for which they will provide reimbursement. If health care providers cannot obtain sufficient reimbursement from third-party payors for our products or the screenings conducted with our products, we may not
achieve significant market acceptance of our products. Acceptance of our products in international markets will depend upon the availability of adequate reimbursement or funding within prevailing health care payment systems. Reimbursement, funding,
and health care payment systems vary significantly by country. We may not obtain approvals for reimbursement in a timely manner or at all.

Adverse changes in reimbursement policies in general could harm our business. We are unable to predict changes in the reimbursement methods used by third-party health care payors, particularly those in countries and regions outside the
U.S. For example, some payors are moving toward a managed care system in which providers contract to provide comprehensive health care for a fixed cost per person. In a managed care system the cost of our products may not be incorporated into the
overall payment for patient care or there may not be adequate reimbursement for our products separate from reimbursement for other procedures.

If we
fail in our efforts to educate clinicians, government agency personnel, and third-party payors on the effectiveness of our products, we may not achieve future sales growth

It is critical to the success of our sales efforts that we educate a sufficient number of clinicians, hospital administrators, and government agencies
about our products and the costs and benefits of their use. The commercial success of our products depends upon clinician, government agency and other third-party payor confidence in the economic and clinical benefits of our products as well as
their comfort with the efficacy, reliability, sensitivity and specificity of our products. We believe that clinicians will not use our products unless they determine, based on published peer-reviewed journal articles and experience, that our
products provide an accurate and cost-effective alternative to other means of testing or treatment. Our customers may choose to use competitive products, which may be less expensive or may provide faster results than our devices. Clinicians are
traditionally slow to adopt new products, testing practices and clinical treatments, partly because of perceived liability risks and the uncertainty of third-party reimbursement. If clinicians, government agencies and hospital administrators do not
adopt our products, we may not maintain profitability. Factors that may adversely affect the medical communitys acceptance of our products include:



| |  |  | Publication of clinical study results that demonstrate a lack of efficacy or cost-effectiveness of our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changing governmental and physician group guidelines;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Actual or perceived performance, quality, price, and total cost of ownership deficiencies of our products relative to other competitive products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to maintain and enhance our existing relationships and to form new relationships with leading physicians, physician organizations, hospitals, state
laboratory personnel, and third-party payors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Increased sales through group purchasing organizations and sales to high volume purchasers may reduce our average selling prices, which would reduce our revenue and
gross profits

We have entered, and expect in the future to enter into agreements with customers who purchase high volumes of our
products. Our agreements with these customers may contain discounts from our normal selling prices and other special pricing considerations, which could cause our revenue and profits to decline. In addition, we have entered into agreements to sell
our products to members of GPOs, which negotiate volume purchase prices for medical devices and supplies for member hospitals, group practices and other clinics. While we make sales directly to GPO members, the GPO members receive volume discounts
from our normal selling price and may receive other special pricing considerations from us. Sales to members of all GPOs accounted for approximately 31%, 35% and 31% of our total revenue during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and sales to members
of one GPO, Novation LLC, accounted for approximately 10%, 9% and 12% of our total revenue in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Other of our existing customers may be members of GPOs with which we do not have agreements. Our sales efforts through
GPOs may conflict with our direct sales efforts to our existing customers. If we enter into agreements with new GPOs and some of our existing customers begin purchasing our products through those GPOs, our revenue and profits could decline.

Our markets are very competitive and in the United States we sell certain of our products in a mature market

We face competition from other companies in all of our product lines. Our competitors range from small, privately-held companies to multinational
corporations and their product offerings vary in scope and breadth. We do not believe that any single competitor is dominant in any of our product lines.

The markets for certain of our products in the U.S., including the newborn hearing screening and EEG monitoring markets, are mature and we are unlikely to see significant growth for such products in the U.S. In the
U.S. we derive a significant portion of our revenue from the sale of disposable supplies that are used with our hearing screening devices. Because these disposable supply products can generate high margins, we expect that our products, particularly
our hearing screening disposable supply products, could face increasing competition, including competitors offering lower prices, which could have an adverse affect on our revenue and margins.

We believe that our primary competitive strengths relate to the functionality and reliability of our products, our recognized brands, and our developed
sales channels. Our competitors may have certain competitive advantages, which include the ability to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products. Consequently, we may need to increase our efforts, and related
expenses for research and development, marketing, and selling to maintain or improve our position.

We expect recurring sales to our
existing customers to generate a majority of our revenue in the future, and if our existing customers do not continue to purchase products from us, our revenue may decline.

Our operating results may decline if we do not succeed in developing, acquiring and marketing additional products or improving our existing products

We intend to develop additional products and technologies, including enhancements of existing products, for the screening, detection, treatment,
monitoring and tracking of common medical ailments. Developing new products, and improving our existing products, to meet the needs of current and future customers requires significant investments in research and development. If we fail to
successfully sell new products, update our existing products, or timely react to changes in technology, our operating results may decline as our existing products reach the end of their commercial life cycles.

Our plan to expand our international operations will result in increased costs and is subject to numerous risks; if our efforts are not successful, this could harm
our business

We have expanded our international operations through acquisitions and plan to expand our international sales and
marketing efforts to increase sales of our products in foreign countries. We may not realize corresponding growth in revenue from growth in international unit sales, due to the lower average selling prices we receive on sales outside of the U.S.
Even if we are able to successfully expand our international selling efforts, we cannot be certain that we will be able to create or increase demand for our products outside of the U.S. Our international operations are subject to other risks, which
include:

In particular, our international sales could be adversely affected by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to
other foreign currencies, which makes our products more costly to international customers to whom sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Our operating
results may suffer because of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations

While substantially all of the sales
contracts of Natus Medical Incorporated and our North American subsidiaries provide for payment in U.S. dollars, substantially all of the revenue and expenses of our subsidiaries outside of North America are denominated in the local currency. To
date we have executed only limited foreign currency contracts to hedge these currency risks. Our future revenue and expenses may be subject to volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations that could result in foreign exchange gains and losses
associated with foreign currency transactions and the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Substantially all our sales from our U.S. operations to our international distributors also provide for payment in U.S. dollars. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies could increase the effective cost of
our products to our international distributors as their functional currency is typically not the U.S. dollar. This could have a potential adverse effect on our ability to increase or maintain average selling prices of our products to our
foreign-based customers.

If guidelines mandating universal newborn hearing screening do not continue to develop in foreign countries and governments do
not mandate testing of all newborns as we anticipate, or if those guidelines have a long phase-in period, our revenue may be adversely impacted

We estimate that approximately 95% of the children born in the U.S. are currently being tested for hearing impairment prior to discharge from the hospital. To date, there has been only limited adoption of newborn hearing screening prior to
hospital discharge by foreign governments, and when newborn hearing screening programs are enacted by foreign governments there can be a phase-in period spanning several years. The widespread adoption of guidelines depends, in part, on our ability
to educate foreign government agencies, neonatologists, pediatricians, third-party payors, and hospital administrators about the benefits of universal newborn hearing screening as well as the use of our products to perform the screening and
monitoring. Our revenue from our newborn hearing screening product lines may not grow if foreign governments do not require universal newborn hearing screening prior to hospital discharge, if physicians or hospitals are slow to comply with those
guidelines, or if governments provide for a lengthy phase-in period for compliance.

Because we rely on distributors or sub-distributors to sell our products in most of our markets outside of the U.S.,
our revenue could decline if our existing distributors reduce the volume of purchases from us, or if our relationship with any of these distributors is terminated

We currently rely on our distributors or sub-distributors for a majority of our sales outside the U.S. Some distributors also assist us with regulatory approvals and education of clinicians and government agencies. We
intend to continue our efforts to increase our sales in Europe, Japan, and other developed countries. If we fail to sell our products through our international distributors, we would experience a decline in revenues unless we begin to sell our
products directly in those markets. We cannot be certain that we will be able to attract new international distributors to market our products effectively or provide timely and cost-effective customer support and service. Even if we are successful
in selling our products through new distributors, the rate of growth of our revenue could be harmed if our existing distributors do not continue to sell a large dollar volume of our products. None of our existing distributors are obligated to
continue selling our products.

We may be subject to foreign laws governing our relationships with our international distributors. These
laws may require us to make payments to our distributors if we terminate our relationship for any reason, including for cause. Some countries require termination payments under local law or legislation that may supersede our contractual relationship
with the distributor. Any required payments would adversely affect our operating results.

If we lose our relationship with any supplier of key product
components or our relationship with a supplier deteriorates or key components are not available in sufficient quantities, our manufacturing could be delayed and our business could suffer

We contract with third parties for the supply of some of the components used in our products and the production of our disposable products. Some of our
suppliers are not obligated to continue to supply us. We have relatively few sources of supply for some of the components used in our products and in some cases we rely entirely on sole-source suppliers. In addition, the lead-time involved in the
manufacturing of some of these components can be lengthy and unpredictable. If our suppliers become unwilling or unable to supply us with components meeting our requirements, it might be difficult to establish additional or replacement suppliers in
a timely manner, or at all. This would cause our product sales to be disrupted and our revenue and operating results to suffer.

Replacement or alternative sources might not be readily obtainable due to regulatory requirements and other factors applicable to our manufacturing operations. Incorporation of components from a new supplier into our products may require a
new or supplemental filing with applicable regulatory authorities and clearance or approval of the filing before we could resume product sales. This process may take a substantial period of time, and we may not be able to obtain the necessary
regulatory clearance or approval. This could create supply disruptions that would harm our product sales and operating results.

We depend upon key
employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel, and, without additional employees, we cannot grow or maintain profitability

Our products and technologies are complex, and we depend substantially on the continued service of our senior management team. The loss of any of our key employees could adversely affect our business and slow our product development
process. Our future success also will depend, in part, on the continued service of our key management personnel, software engineers, and other research and development employees and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional personnel,
including customer service, marketing, and sales staff. Hiring research and development, engineering, sales, marketing and customer service personnel in our industry is very competitive due to the limited number of people available with the
necessary technical skills and understanding of our product technologies. We may be unable to attract and retain personnel necessary for the development of our business.

Our ability to market and sell products depends upon receipt of domestic and foreign regulatory approval of our products and manufacturing operations. Our failure to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals and
compliance could negatively affect our business

Our products and manufacturing operations are subject to extensive regulation in the
United States by the FDA and by similar regulatory agencies in many other countries in which we do business. Our products are classified as medical devices. Medical devices are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA pursuant to regulations that
are wide ranging and govern, among other things: design and development; manufacturing and testing; labeling; storage and record keeping; advertising, promotion, marketing, sales distribution and export; and surveillance and reporting of deaths or
serious injuries.

Unless an exemption applies, each medical device that we propose to market in the U.S. must first receive one of the
following types of FDA premarket review authorizations:



| |  |  | Clearance via Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act of 1938, as amended; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



-28-

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Premarket approval via Section 515 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act if the FDA has determined that the medical device in question poses a greater risk of
injury.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FDA will clear marketing of a medical device through the 510(k) process if it is demonstrated that the new
product is substantially equivalent to other 510(k)-cleared products. The premarket approval application process is much more costly, lengthy and uncertain than the 510(k) process, and must be supported by extensive data from preclinical studies and
human clinical trials. The FDA may not grant either 510(k) clearance or premarket approval for any product we propose to market. Further, any modification to a 510(k)-cleared device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or
that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design or manufacture, requires a new 510(k) clearance or, possibly, approval of a premarket approval application. The FDA requires every manufacturer to make this determination in the first
instance, but the FDA may review any manufacturers decision. If the FDA requires us to seek 510(k) clearance or premarket approval for modification of a previously cleared product for which we have concluded that new clearances or approvals
are unnecessary, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until we obtain clearance or approval, and we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties. Further, our products could be subject to recall if
the FDA determines, for any reason, that our products are not safe or effective.

Delays in receipt or failure to receive clearances or
approvals, the loss of previously received clearances or approvals, or the failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could adversely impact our operating results. If the FDA finds that we have failed to comply with these
requirements, the Agency can institute a wide variety of enforcement actions, ranging from a public warning letter to more severe sanctions such as:



| |  |  | Fines, injunctions and civil penalties;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | Recall or seizure of our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Issuance of public notices or warnings;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | Refusal of our requests for Section 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Withdrawal of Section 510(k) clearance or premarket approvals already granted; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Criminal prosecution.
| | - |  | ---------------------

Domestic
regulation of our products and manufacturing operations, other than that which is administered by the FDA, includes the Environmental Protection Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and state and local counterparts to these Acts.

Our business would be harmed if the FDA determines that we have failed to comply with applicable regulations governing the manufacture of our products and/or we do
not pass an inspection

We and our suppliers are required to demonstrate and maintain compliance with the FDAs Quality System
Regulation. The Quality System Regulation sets forth the FDAs requirements for good manufacturing practices of medical devices and includes requirements for, among other things, the design, testing, production processes, controls, quality
assurance, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping of such products. In addition, we and our suppliers must engage in extensive recordkeeping and reporting and must make available our manufacturing facility and records for periodic unscheduled
inspections by federal, state and foreign agencies, including the FDA. We cannot assure you that we and our suppliers are or will continue to be in full compliance with the Quality System Regulation, and that we will not encounter any manufacturing
difficulties.

Failure of our third party suppliers and manufacturers or us to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions
being imposed on us, including, among other things, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approval of our products, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, seizures or recalls of products
and manufacturing restrictions, any of which could harm our business.

Our Olympic Cool-Cap product is subject to greater products liability exposure
and FDA regulation

The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes, depending on the degree of risk associated with each
medical device and the extent of controls that are needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Devices deemed to pose lower risk are placed in either class I or class II. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining,
life supporting or implantable devices, or a device deemed to not be substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device are placed in class III, and generally require premarket approval from the FDA before they may be marketed.

##### Table of Contents

In December 2006 we received premarket approval from the FDA to market the Olympic Cool-Cap, a product
designed to lower the cerebral temperature of newborns born with a particular medical condition. This product is a class III minimally invasive medical device, and as such we may be subject to an increased product liability risk relative to our
other class I and class II non-invasive products. In addition, this type of product is subject to greater FDA oversight than our other products and there is greater risk that sales of the product could be interrupted due to the premarket
approval processes of the FDA and other regulatory bodies.

Our business may suffer if we are required to revise our labeling or promotional materials,
or if the FDA takes an enforcement action against us for off-label uses

We are prohibited by the FDA from promoting or advertising our
medical device products for uses not within the scope of our clearances or approvals, or from making unsupported promotional claims about the benefits of our products. If the FDA determines that our claims are outside the scope of our clearances, or
are unsupported, it could require us to revise our promotional claims or take enforcement action against us. If we were subject to such an action by the FDA, our sales could be delayed, our revenue could decline, and our reputation among clinicians
could be harmed. Likewise, if we acquire new products, either through the purchase of products, technology assets, or businesses, that are subsequently deemed to have inadequate supporting data, we may be required to (i) obtain adequate data,
which could be costly and impede our ability to market these products, or (ii) modify the labeling on these products, which could impair their marketability, as described above.

If we fail to comply with healthcare regulations, we could face substantial penalties and our business, operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We do not provide healthcare services, control the referral of patients for healthcare services, nor bill Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors;
however, due to the breadth of many healthcare laws and regulations, we could be subject to healthcare fraud regulation and enforcement by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. The laws that may affect our
ability to operate include: (i) the federal healthcare programs Anti-Kickback Law, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, in
exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service for which payment may be made under federal healthcare programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, (ii) federal
false claims laws which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid, or other third-party payors that are false or fraudulent, and which may
apply to entities like us which provide coding and billing advice to customers, and/or (iii) state law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by
any third-party payor, including commercial insurers, many of which differ from their federal counterparts in significant ways, thus complicating compliance efforts.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties,
damages, fines and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment or restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risk of
our being found in violation of these laws is increased by the fact that their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur
significant legal expenses and divert our managements attention from the operation of our business.

Our operating results would suffer if we were
subject to a protracted infringement claim

The medical technology industry is characterized by a substantial amount of litigation and
related administrative proceedings regarding patents and intellectual property rights. We expect that medical screening and diagnostic products may become increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors in our
industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlap. Third parties such as individuals, educational institutions or other medical device companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property
rights. Any claims, with or without merit, could have any of the following negative consequences:



| |  |  | Result in costly litigation and damage awards;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Divert our managements attention and resources;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Cause product shipment delays or suspensions; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Require us to seek to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

A successful claim of infringement against us could result in a substantial damage award and materially harm our financial condition. Our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology, or design
and build non-infringing products, could prevent us from selling our products and adversely affect our business and financial results.

We license
intellectual property rights from third parties and would be adversely affected if our licensors do not appropriately defend their proprietary rights or if we breach any of the agreements under which we license commercialization rights to products
or technology from others

We license rights from third parties for products and technology that are important to our business. If our
licensors are unsuccessful in asserting and defending their proprietary rights, including patent rights and trade secrets, we may lose the competitive advantages we have through selling products that we license from third parties. Additionally, if
it is found that our licensors infringe on the proprietary rights of others, we may be prohibited from marketing our existing products that incorporate those proprietary rights. Under our licenses, we are subject to commercialization and
development, sublicensing, royalty, insurance and other obligations. If we fail to comply with any of these requirements, or otherwise breach a license agreement, the licensor may have the right to terminate the license in whole or to terminate the
exclusive nature of the license.

Product liability suits against us could result in expensive and time consuming litigation, payment of substantial
damages, and an increase in our insurance rates

The sale and use of our products could lead to the filing of a product liability claim
by someone claiming to have been injured using one of our products or claiming that one of our products failed to perform properly. A product liability claim could result in substantial damages and be costly and time consuming to defend, either of
which could materially harm our business reputation or financial condition. Our product liability insurance may not protect our assets from the financial impact of defending a product liability claim. Any product liability claim brought against us,
with or without merit, could increase our product liability insurance rates or prevent us from securing any coverage in the future.

We have experienced
seasonality in the sale of our products

We experience seasonality in our revenue. For example, our sales typically decline from our
fourth fiscal quarter to our first fiscal quarter, due to patterns in the capital budgeting and purchasing cycles of our current and prospective customers, many of which are government agencies. We may also experience declining sales in the third
fiscal quarter due to summer holiday and vacation schedules. We anticipate that we will continue to experience these seasonal fluctuations, which may lead to fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. We believe that you should not rely on our
results of operations for interim periods as an indication of our expected results in any future period.

We have initiated changes to our information
systems that could disrupt our business and our financial results.

We plan to continuously improve our enterprise resource planning,
customer relationship management, and document lifecycle management systems to support the form, functionality, and scale of our business. These types of transitions frequently prove disruptive to the underlying business of an enterprise and may
cause us to incur higher costs than we anticipate. Failure to manage a smooth transition to the new systems and the ongoing operations and support of the new systems could materially harm our business operations.

For example, we are currently in the process of implementing the rollout of an enterprise resource planning application (ERP) in our
North American operating divisions. Until we have completed the ERP implementation, we will be dependent on multiple platforms. We may experience difficulties in implementing the ERP and we may fail to gain the efficiencies the implementation is
designed to produce. The implementation could also be disruptive to our operations, including the ability to timely ship and track product orders to customers, project inventory requirements, manage our supply chain and otherwise adequately service
our customers.
