Explanatory Note:

Horizon Medical Products, Inc.
(the Company) is filing this Amendment on
Form 10-Q/A to revise Part 1, Item 1, Financial
Statements and Part 1, Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (MD & A)
contained in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 (the Original Filing).

In April 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS
No. 145). This Statement rescinds FASB Statement
No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,
and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64,
Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.
This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting
for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an
inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback
transactions and the required accounting for certain lease
modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other
existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical
corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under
changed conditions. Statement No. 145 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption
encouraged.

The Company has adopted SFAS
No. 145 effective as of January 1, 2003 and for the year
then ended. As a result and in accordance with Statement No. 145
and Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30 (APB
No. 30), the extraordinary loss on the extinguishment of
debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from extraordinary items to a component of
other income/(expense) in the continuing operations
portion of the Companys statement of operations. The Company
has determined that the item originally reported as extraordinary in the 2003
financial statements which relate to historical figures require revision in order to be presented in
accordance with SFAS No. 145 and APB No. 30. The
effect of this revision is to reclassify the extraordinary items to
other income/expense from continuing operations. There
was no effect on the balance sheet, stockholders equity, net
income or cash flow of the Company.

Except for the financial statement
information and related disclosures that are specifically related to
the reclassification discussed above, all information contained in
this quarterly report is stated as of the date of the Original
Filing. This amendment does not otherwise update information in the
Original Filing to reflect facts or events occurring subsequent to the
date of the Original Filing.

HORIZON MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Horizon Medical Products, Inc.
and Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) at December 31, 2002 has been
derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements at such
date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and instructions to Form 10-Q. The interim condensed
consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2003, and for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited; however,
these statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature unless noted otherwise. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results of the full year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002 (the Form 10-K), including, without limitation, the summary
of accounting policies and notes and consolidated financial statements included
therein.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS No. 142 supercedes Auditing Practices Board (APB) No. 17 and requires
that: (1) goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be
amortized; (2) goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually at the
reporting unit level; (3) intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life
will be tested for impairment at least annually; and (4) the amortization
period of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to
forty years. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, the Company
recognized an estimated impairment loss of approximately $16.1 million related
to its distribution reporting unit. In addition, the Company ceased
amortization of its goodwill. The Companys goodwill amortization was
approximately $1.3 million and $1.7 during the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively. See Note 8 for the Companys
expected future amortization charges after the adoption of SFAS
No. 142.

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
which has an effective date for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 effective as of
January 1, 2002. This statement, which supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of, as well as certain other accounting standards, establishes a single
accounting model based on framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale, including segments of a business accounted
for as discontinued operations. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 144 did not
have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

In April
2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections
(SFAS No. 145). This Statement rescinds FASB
Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an
amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt
Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement also
rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets
of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends FASB Statement
No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the
required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting
for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions.
Statement No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged.

The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 145 effective as of January 1,
2003 and for the year then ended. As a result and in accordance with
Statement No. 145 and Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 30 (APB No. 30), the extraordinary loss
on the extinguishment of debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from
extraordinary items to a component of other
income/(expense) in the continuing operations portion of the
Companys statement of operations. The Company has determined
that the items originally reported as extraordinary in the 2003 financial
statements which relate to historical
figures require revision in order to be presented in accordance with
SFAS No. 145 and APB No. 30. The effect of this revision is
to reclassify the extraordinary items to other
income/expense from continuing operations. There was no effect
on the balance sheet, stockholders equity, net income or cash
flow of the Company.

In September 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal. SFAS No. 146 eliminates the definition and
requirements for recognition of exit costs in EITF Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No.
146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the
liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not
believe SFAS No. 146 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure. This Statement amends
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative
methods of transition for companies that voluntary change to the
fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to
require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The Company does not believe
SFAS No. 148 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

The FASB issued Statement 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, in April 2003. Statement 149:



| |  |  | clarifies implementation issues raised by constituents
regarding the following:

| |  |  | amends Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities(AC Section D50), to include the conclusions
reached by the FASB on certain FASB Staff Implementation Issues

considered by the Board to be preferable;

contracts and the application of the shortcut method to an
interest-rate swap agreement that includes an embedded option; and

The guidance in Statement 149 is effective for new contracts entered into
or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after
that date, except for the following:

| |  |  | The Company does not believe that Statement 149 will have a material
effect on its financial statements.
| |  |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FASB issued Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, in May 2003.
Statement 150 changes the classification in the statement of financial position
of certain common financial instruments from either equity or mezzanine
presentation to liabilities and requires an issuer of those financial
statements to recognize changes in the fair value or the redemption amount, as
applicable, in earnings.

Statement 150 requires an issuer to classify the following financial
instruments as liabilities:



| |  |  | mandatorily redeemable preferred and common stocks;                                                                                                                                                                                                     
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | forward purchase contracts that obligate the issuer to
repurchase shares of its stock by transferring assets;                                                                                                                                           
|
| |  |  | freestanding put options that may obligate the issuer to
repurchase shares of its stock by transferring assets; and                                                                                                                                     
|
| |  |  | freestanding financial instruments that require or permit the
issuer to settle an obligation by issuing a variable number of its
shares if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is
based solely or predominantly on any of the following:

| |  |   |  |                                                                                                                                         
| |  | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  |  |  | a fixed monetary amount known at inception;                                                                                             
| |  |   |  |                                                                                                                                         
| |  |  |  | variations in something other than the issuers shares,
such as the price of gold multiplied by a fixed notional amount;
and            
| |  |   |  |                                                                                                                                         
| |  |  |  | variations inversely related to changes in the value of
the issuers shares, such as a written put option that can be net
share settled.

Statement 150 is effective immediately for financial instruments (except
for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments issued by nonpublic companies)
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. It is effective for financial
instruments (except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments issued by
nonpublic companies) issued on or before May 31, 2003 at the beginning of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Finally, it is effective
for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments issued by nonpublic companies
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. The effect of adopting
Statement 150 will be recognized as a cumulative effect of an accounting change
as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Restatement of prior periods is
not permitted.

The Company does not believe Statement 150 will have a material effect on
its financial statements.

As of September 30, 2003, the Company has a stock-based employee
compensation plan, the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan), as
described in Note 9 of the Companys consolidated financial statements included
in the Form 10-K. The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for the Incentive Plan, which is an acceptable method for accounting
for stock-based employee compensation, despite the adoption of SFAS No. 123.
Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized by the Company for
fixed stock option awards under the

Incentive Plan. Had compensation expense
for options granted under the
Incentive Plan and outside of the
Incentive Plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Companys net loss and net loss
per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Through September 3, 2002, the Company operated as two reportable
segments, manufacturing and distribution. The manufacturing segment includes
products manufactured by the Company, as well as products manufactured by third
parties on behalf of the Company. The Company sold its distribution business
on September 3, 2002 and currently operates as only the manufacturing segment.
As a result of the sale, the results of operations of the distribution segment
have been reclassed and are included in discontinued operations on the
Companys interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002.

The Companys operations are located in the United States, except for a
sales office in Belgium. Thus, substantially all of the Companys assets are
located domestically. Sales information by geographic area for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:

As discussed in Note 4 to these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the Company has issued Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes (the Convertible Notes), a portion of which is
convertible into a maximum of 27,000,000 shares of common stock. As of
September 30, 2003, there were 9,900,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding as a result of conversion of a portion of Convertible Notes held by
the Additional Note Purchasers (as defined in Note 4 below) and 9,900,000
shares of common stock outstanding as a result of conversion of a portion of
Convertible Notes held by ComVest Venture Partners, L.P. (ComVest). The

the effect would be anti-dilutive. This noteholder converted $72,000
of indebtedness under the Convertible Notes into such 7,200,000
shares of common stock on November 12, 2003.

Options to purchase 7,293,742 shares of common stock and warrants to

4. Long-Term Debt

On March 1, 2002, the Company entered into certain agreements with
ComVest, an affiliate of Commonwealth Associates L.P. (Commonwealth) to
recapitalize the Company (the Recapitalization). The Company completed the
Recapitalization on March 16, 2002 and the Forbearance Agreement between the
Company and Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America or BofA) dated March 30,
2001, as subsequently amended (the Forbearance Agreement), was terminated as
of March 15, 2002. The Forbearance Agreement is described below.

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the Recapitalization:

On February 22, 2002, ComVest and Bank of America entered into an
assignment agreement under which ComVest agreed to acquire all of Bank of
Americas interest in the outstanding $50 million BofA Credit Facility. The
purchase price for the assignment was $22 million in cash, plus the $2 million
Junior Note. The Company subsequently assumed the Junior Note pursuant to the
Recapitalization, and ComVest has been released from obligations under the
Junior Note. Upon the closing of the assignment on March 15, 2002, ComVest
acquired all of Bank of Americas interest in the BofA Note, the warrants
issued to Bank of America pursuant to the BofA Credit Facility were surrendered
and cancelled, and the Forbearance Agreement was terminated. The warrants,
which had previously been recorded in additional paid-in-capital at their
estimated fair value at issuance of $260,000, were extinguished at their
estimated fair value on the date of extinguishment of $345,000. As a result,
$345,000 was included as a component of the extraordinary loss on early
extinguishment of debt. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 145 effective as of January 1,
2003 and for the year then ended. As a result and in accordance with
Statement No. 145 and Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 30 (APB No. 30), the extraordinary loss
on the extinguishment of debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from
extraordinary items to a component of other
income/(expense) in the continuing operations portion of the
Companys statement of operations. The Company has determined
that the items reported as extraordinary require revision in order to be
presented in accordance with SFAS No. 145 and APB No. 30. The
effect of this revision is to reclassify the extraordinary items to
other income/expense from continuing operations. There was no
effect on the balance sheet, stockholders equity, net income or cash
flow of the Company.

On March 1, 2002, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the
Note Purchase Agreement) with ComVest, Medtronic, Inc. (Medtronic), and 26
individual and entity Additional Note Purchasers (collectively, the Additional
Note Purchasers). Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to
issue $15 million of Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes (the Convertible
Notes). Interest on these Convertible Notes is payable quarterly beginning in
June 2002 and accrues at a rate of 6% per year for the first six months and 8%
per year thereafter until the notes are paid in full and mature on March 16,
2004. The Company issued the Convertible Notes as follows: $4.4 million to
ComVest, $4 million to Medtronic and $6.6 million to the Additional Note
Purchasers.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Events of Default include, but are
not limited to, failure to pay an obligation when due, failure to comply with
obligations under the Securityholders Agreement (the Securityholders
Agreement) or the Co-Promotion Agreement with Medtronic (as described below),
breach of any covenant which remains uncured for 15 days, bankruptcy, a change

##### 



of control and failure to obtain shareholder approval of certain proposals
related to the Recapitalization at the Companys 2002 annual meeting of
shareholders (the 2002 Annual Meeting) within 195 of the closing date of the
Recapitalization (March 16, 2002). On September 17, 2002, at the 2002 Annual
Meeting, the Companys shareholders approved all such proposals relating to the
Recapitalization. Generally, upon an Event of Default, the holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding may
declare the unpaid principal and interest on the Notes immediately due and
payable. Additionally, Medtronic may, upon a breach by HMP of its obligations
(after applicable cure periods) under the Co-Promotion Agreement or a breach of
covenants in the Convertible Notes held by Medtronic, declare the unpaid
principal and interest on such Notes immediately due and payable.

Also, if the Company defaults under the Note Purchase Agreement, it will
be in default under the Loan Agreement with LaSalle (as described below)
pursuant to the cross-default provisions contained therein. At September 30,
2003, the aggregate amount of indebtedness which would be subject to
acceleration under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Companys credit facility
with LaSalle (as described below) and the Junior Note (as described below),
causing the same to become immediately due and payable, was
approximately $17.7 million. The holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to convert in the
aggregate a total of $270,000 of the Convertible Notes into shares of the
Companys common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share for a total of
27,000,000 shares. If this $270,000 is converted, the Company will still be
obligated to repay, in the aggregate, $14,730,000 to the holders of the
Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2003, an aggregate of 19,800,000 shares
of the Companys common stock had been issued to holders of the Convertible
Notes upon conversion thereof. Subsequent to September 30, 2003,
the remaining 7,200,000 shares issuable under the Convertible Notes were issued.

This 27,000,000 shares also includes 3,300,000 shares of common stock
which were issued to ComVest upon conversion of the Bridge Note (as described
below) in the third quarter of 2002. Under the conversion terms, if the
principal amount of the Additional Notes, together with all interest due, were
paid in full on or before 30 days following March 16, 2002, the Closing Date
for the transaction, then the maximum aggregate number of shares of common
stock that all the Convertible Notes may be converted into is 22,500,000. The
Additional Notes were not repaid by April 15, 2002 and have not been repaid as
of the date of this report. As of September 30, 2003, there were 9,900,000
shares of common stock issued and outstanding as a result of conversion of a
portion of Convertible Notes held by the Additional Note Purchasers and
9,900,000 shares of common stock outstanding as a result of conversion of a
portion of Convertible Notes held by ComVest. The remaining 7,200,000 shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of Convertible Notes are held by
Medtronic and were converted by Medtronic on November 12, 2003.
The terms of the applicable conversion periods and conversion
amounts for the Convertible Notes held by Medtronic are as follows:

Additional Notes.

Subsequent
to the quarter ended September 30, 2003, Medtronic
exercised its right to convert $72,000 aggregate principal amount of
its Convertible Notes into 7,200,000 shares of the Companys
common stock.

The Company may prepay the Convertible Notes, subject to no prepayment
penalty within the first 12 months of the closing date of the Note Purchase
Agreement, with a prepayment penalty of 5% between months 12 to 15, a
prepayment penalty of 10% between months 15 to 24 and no prepayment penalty
after 24 months.

On March 15, 2002, the
Company and ComVest, as the holder of an
outstanding Bank of America Note (the BofA Note), agreed to reduce the
outstanding principal amount of the BofA Note from $40.3 million to $22
million. As a result, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss on
extinguishment of debt of approximately $6.6 million during the first quarter
of 2002. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 145 effective as of January 1,
2003 and for the year then ended. As a result and in accordance with
Statement No. 145 and Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 30 (APB No. 30), the extraordinary loss
on the extinguishment of debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from
extraordinary items to a component of other
income/(expense) in the continuing operations portion of the
Companys statement of operations. The Company has determined
that the items reported as extraordinary require revision in order to be
presented in accordance with SFAS No. 145 and APB No. 30. The
effect of this revision is to reclassify the extraordinary items to
other income/expense from continuing operations. There was no
effect on the balance sheet, stockholders equity, net income or cash
flow of the Company. In exchange for funding a portion of the $22 million cash purchase
price paid to Bank of America, ComVest assigned $4 million in principal amount
of the BofA Note to Medtronic and $6.6 million in principal amount of the BofA
Note to the Additional Note Purchasers while retaining $11.4 million in
principal amount of the BofA Note itself. After such assignments, the Company
issued the Convertible Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement in the aggregate
principal amount of $15 million in exchange for the surrender of $15 million in
principal amount of the BofA Note held by ComVest, Medtronic and the Additional
Note Purchasers. The remaining $7 million in principal amount of the BofA Note
was repaid with the proceeds of a Bridge Loan from ComVest (the Bridge Loan).

On March 15, 2002, the Company and ComVest, as the holder of the
outstanding BofA Note, agreed to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the
BofA Note from $40.3 million to $22 million. As a result, the Company recorded
a net extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately
$6.6 million during the first quarter of 2002.
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 145 effective as of January 1,
2003 and for the year then ended. As a result and in accordance with
Statement No. 145 and Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 30 (APB No. 30), the extraordinary loss
on the extinguishment of debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from
extraordinary items to a component of other
income/(expense) in the continuing operations portion of the
Companys statement of operations. The Company has determined
that the items reported as extraordinary require revision in order to be
presented in accordance with SFAS No. 145 and APB No. 30. The
effect of this revision is to reclassify the extraordinary items to
other income/expense from continuing operations. There was no
effect on the balance sheet, stockholders equity, net income or cash
flow of the Company. This loss on extinguishment of debt was
calculated by subtracting the fair value of the new debt of $42.6 million,
which included the amount outstanding under the LaSalle Credit Facility ($7.3
million), the Convertible Notes ($33.3 million), and the BofA Junior Note ($2.0
million), from the amount outstanding under the Bank of America debt of $40.3
million. Also included in the loss were various costs paid to
ComVest, Commonwealth Associates, L.P. and LaSalle, as the lenders, to effect
the Recapitalization of $4.3 million. Included as components of the additional
$4.3 million of transaction expenses were the following: $570,000 in closing
costs and due diligence fees paid to LaSalle; a warrant to purchase the
Companys common stock issued to LaSalle valued at approximately $695,000;
approximately 2.7 million shares issued to ComVest valued at approximately $2.3
million; deferred loan costs from the original BofA debt of approximately
$128,000, and $1.15 million paid to Commonwealth in closing costs and due
diligence fees. Also included in the additional expenses, but offsetting these
amounts are approximately $130,000 in fees and accrued interest forgiven by
Bank of America and the fair value of the BofA warrant of $345,000 which was
acquired and cancelled by ComVest.

The Company also incurred numerous other costs that were either expensed
as incurred or capitalized as debt issuance costs. Included in selling,
general, and administrative expenses for fiscal 2002 are approximately $3
million of expenses related to the Recapitalization. The primary components of
those expenses are $2.4 million in stock compensation and bonuses to two of the
Companys executive officers, $168,000 in consulting fees, and $428,000 in
legal and other fees. The Company capitalized approximately $1.5 million as
debt issuance costs, consisting primarily of $906,000 in legal fees, $322,000
of consulting fees, and $222,000 of other miscellaneous fees paid for services
rendered in connection with the Recapitalization.

In exchange for funding a portion of the $22 million cash purchase price
paid to Bank of America, ComVest assigned $4 million in principal amount of the
BofA Note to Medtronic and $6.6 million in principal amount of the BofA Note to
the Additional Note Purchasers while
retaining $11.4 million in principal amount of the BofA Note itself. After such
assignments, the Company issued the

14

##### 



Convertible Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $15 million in
exchange for the surrender of $15 million in principal amount of the BofA Note held by ComVest, Medtronic
and the Additional Note Purchasers. The remaining $7 million in principal amount of the BofA Note was
repaid with the proceeds of a bridge loan from ComVest to the Company made on March 15, 2002
(the Bridge Loan).

The fair value of the Convertible Notes, which was used in the
determination of the loss on early extinguishment of debt was
$33.3 million. As this value represents a substantial premium to the face value
of the debt, the Company recorded the debt at its face value of $15 million,
and recorded the premium of $18.3 million as an increase to additional
paid-in-capital. The Company determined the fair value of the Convertible Notes
by considering their two components, the non-convertible debt of $14,730,000
and the convertible debt of $270,000. The non-convertible debt components
carrying value of $14,730,000 represents its fair value because, when
considered with the convertible component, its terms yield a market rate of
return. The convertible components fair value was determined by multiplying
the fair value of the Companys stock by the number of shares into which this
component is convertible. Thus, 27,000,000 shares multiplied by $0.68940 per
share equals $18,613,685. The sum of the non-convertible components fair value
of $14,730,000 and the convertible components fair value of $18,613,685 equals
the total debt instruments fair value of $33,343,685.

The Company determined the fair value of its stock in a multiple-step
process. First, the Company computed its assumed fair value of $13,762,977 at
the date of the transaction by multiplying outstanding shares of 16,311,676 by
the then current market price per share of $0.84375, which resulted in a fair
value of the Company prior to any conversion of the convertible portion of the
Convertible Notes. The Company then added to this computed fair value
$16,095,909, which represents the difference between the old Bank of America
debt of $40,320,909 and the face value of the new debt of $24,225,000. This
$16,095,909 difference was credited to additional paid-in-capital. Thus, the
new fair value of the Company, prior to any conversion, is $29,858,886. The
Company then assumed full conversion of the convertible portion of the notes,
which resulted in an additional 27,000,000 shares becoming
outstanding. After conversion, the Company would have 43,311,676 shares outstanding, which when
divided into the new fair value of $29,858,886, yields a new per share market
value of $0.68940.

Effective October 31, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with
Medtronic and ComVest, representing the holders of Convertible Notes, to extend
the maturity date of the Convertible Notes from March 16, 2004 to July 16,
2005. The Companys Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets for the period ending September 30, 2003 reflect this
extension in maturity date of the Companys Convertible Notes in
the classification of current and long term debt.

On March 18, 2002, the Company entered into the LaSalle Credit Facility
pursuant to a loan and security agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Standard
Federal Bank National Association (SFB), acting by and through LaSalle, as
SFBs agent (collectively the Lender). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender
provided a $20 million Revolving Loan (the Revolving Loan) and a $2 million
Term Loan (the Term Loan). Effective December 23, 2002, in connection with
the December Amendment (as defined below), the Revolving Loan limit was reduced
to $10 million. The Company used the proceeds to repay the Bridge Loan and
expenses related to the Recapitalization and for working capital and general
corporate purposes. Both loan facilities will bear interest at the LaSalle Bank
Prime Rate plus 2%, subject to an additional 2% that would be added to the
interest rate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as discussed below).

As collateral, the Company granted a security interest in all of the
Companys present and future assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing,
acquired or arising and wherever now or hereafter located, including, but not
limited to: all accounts receivable; all chattel paper, instruments, documents
and general intangibles including patents, patent applications, trademarks,
trademark applications, trade secrets, trade names, goodwill, copyrights,
copyright applications, registrations, licenses, software,

franchises, customer lists, tax refund claims, claims against carriers and
shippers, guaranty claims, contract rights, payment intangibles, security
interests, security deposits, and indemnification rights; all inventory; all
goods including equipment, vehicles, and fixtures; all investment property; all
deposit accounts, bank accounts, deposits and cash; all letter-of-credit
rights; certain commercial tort claims; all property of the Company in control
of the Lender or any affiliate of the Lender; and all additions, substitutions,
replacements, products, and proceeds of the aforementioned property including
proceeds from insurance policies and all books and records relating to the
Companys business.

The Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. The
affirmative covenants require the Company to, among other things, maintain
accurate and complete records, notify the Lender of major business changes,
comply with relevant laws, maintain proper permits, conduct relevant
inspections and audits, maintain adequate insurance with the Lender named as
loss payee, keep collateral in good condition, use proceeds only for business
purposes, pay required taxes, maintain all intellectual property, maintain a
checking account with LaSalle, hire a Chief Operating Officer with experience
in the medical products industry within 90 days of the date of the Loan
Agreement (which has been done), grant the Lender the right to conduct
appraisals of the collateral on a bi-annual basis, and deliver a survey of the
property located at the Companys offices on Northside Parkway in Atlanta
within 60 days of the date of the Loan Agreement (which has been done). The
negative covenants restrict the Companys ability to, among other things, make
any guarantees, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on its assets, enter
into business combinations outside the ordinary course of business, pay
dividends, make certain investments or loans, allow its equipment to become a
fixture to real estate or an accession to personal property, alter its lines of
business, settle accounts, or make other fundamental corporate changes.

Effective December 23, 2002, the Company and the Lender amended the Loan
Agreement (the December Amendment) to, among other things, amend certain
financial maintenance covenants. These covenants, include, but are not limited
to, the following:



| |  |  | maintaining Tangible Net Worth of $7,500,000 for the quarters
ending December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2003, and $8,000,000 for the quarter ending December
31, 2003 and each quarter thereafter (Tangible Net Worth is defined
as the Companys shareholders equity including retained earnings
less the book value of all intangible assets, prepaid and non-cash
items arising from the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Agreement and goodwill impairment charges recorded as a result of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 as
determined solely by the Lender on a consistent basis plus the
amount of any LIFO reserve plus the amount of any debt subordinated
to the Lender);

##### 



The December Amendment also established a $10 million revolving loan limit
and provided that, commencing January 1, 2003, the Company shall pay to the
Lender an annual facility fee of $100,000. As of September 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, the Company had $3.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively,
available for borrowing under the revolving portion of the Loan Agreement. As
of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had $1.0 million and
$1.5 million, respectively, in borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan. The
Company had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving loan as of September
30, 2003 and approximately $128,000 in borrowings outstanding under the
revolving loan as of December 31, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the Company
believes it was in compliance with all covenants in the Loan Agreement (as
amended by the December Amendment) set forth above.

The Loan Agreement also specifies certain Events of Default, including,
but not limited to, failure to pay obligations when due, failure to direct its
account debtors to make payments to an established lockbox, failure to make
timely financial reports to the Lender, the breach by the Company or any
guarantor of any obligations with any other Person (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) if such breach might have a material adverse effect on the Company
or such guarantor, breach of representations, warranties or covenants, loss of
collateral in excess of $50,000, bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver,
judgments in excess of $25,000, any attempt to levy fees or attach the
collateral, defaults or revocations of any guarantees, institution of criminal
proceedings against the Company or any guarantor, occurrence of a change in
control, the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change or a default or an event
of default under certain subordinated debt documents. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default, the Lender may accelerate the Companys obligations under
the Loan Agreement.

The Company must repay the Revolving Loan on or before March 17, 2005, the
Termination Date, unless the Loan Agreement is renewed and the repayment period
is extended through a new Termination Date. The Company must repay the Term
Loan in 36 equal monthly installments of $55,556 commencing April 2002. The
Loan Agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Lender
demands repayment on the Termination Date, the due date is accelerated as a
result of an Event of Default, the Company gives 90-days notice of its intent
to terminate and pays all amounts due in full, or the Lender elects to
terminate on or after February 1, 2004 as a result of a Termination Event. A
Termination Event is defined as the failure of Medtronic, ComVest or any
Additional Note Purchaser to extend the maturity date (March 15, 2004) of the
Convertible Notes at least thirty days past the date of the original term
(March 17, 2005) or any applicable renewal term. Effective October 31, 2003,
the Company, ComVest and Medtronic agreed to extend the maturity date of the
Convertible Notes to July 16, 2005.

Pursuant to the LaSalle credit facility, the Company also issued to
LaSalle and SFB warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 748,619 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The Company recorded the
estimated fair value of the warrant as of March 18, 2002 of approximately
$695,000, determined using the Black-Scholes model (using weighted average
assumptions as follows: dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 3 years,
expected volatility of 112.2% and a risk free interest rate of 2.43%) as a
reduction of the gain on early extinguishment of debt.

The Junior Note in the amount of $2 million bears interest at a rate of 6%
per annum, payable monthly beginning April 2002, and matures on March 15, 2007.
Beginning on May 1, 2003, a principal payment on the Junior Note of $22,500 is
payable on the first day of each month until maturity of the Junior Note.

On September 3, 2002, the Company sold Stepic Corporation (Stepic), the
Companys distribution business, to Arrow International, Inc. (Arrow) for
approximately $12.6 million, consisting of $11 million in cash, $1.1 million
placed in escrow and a note receivable in the amount of $500,000. In

addition, the Company retained assets of approximately $1.1 million in the
transaction. The Company used $7.8 million of the proceeds to pay off the
amount then outstanding under its Revolving Loan from LaSalle. The Company was
paid $1,051,317 plus interest of $904 out of escrow. In addition, under the
terms of the note receivable, the Company was paid $500,000 plus interest of
$9,863 as payment in full.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Companys management and Executive
Committee delivered to each of ComVest and Medtronic an operating plan and
budget (including working capital needs) reflecting its business following the
sale of Stepic and a proposal for the use of proceeds from the sale of Stepic.
This operating plan and budget, together with the use of proceeds, was approved
by ComVest and Medtronic and was subsequently ratified by the Companys board
of directors as required under the Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with
this sale, the Company received the consent of LaSalle and the requisite
noteholders under the Note Purchase Agreement. (See Note 7 to these interim
condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein for further
discussion on the sale of Stepic).

As a result of the Recapitalization, the BofA Credit Facility, the
Forbearance Agreement with Bank of America, and all subsequent amendments were
terminated. However, because those agreements were significant to the
capitalization of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, the terms of those
agreements are briefly summarized as follows:

On March 30, 2001, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and a
First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement wherein Bank of America agreed to
forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the BofA Credit Facility
due to certain defaults. The Company was in default at that time for violating
certain restrictive covenants and for failing to make principal payments when
due. All of the defaults were forborne as provided for in the Forbearance
Agreement, and revised restrictive covenants were set. By September 30, 2001,
the Company was in default under the Forbearance Agreement for failing to
comply with some of the revised covenants, including minimum net worth, debt
service coverage, leverage and minimum EBITDA.

On October 15, 2001, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the
Forbearance Agreement (the Second Amendment). The Second Amendment amended
the Forbearance Agreement as follows: (i) changed the termination date of the
Forbearance Agreement from March 31, 2002 to January 15, 2002 (the period from
March 30, 2001 through January 15, 2002 being defined as the Forbearance
Period); (ii) required the Company to maintain a general operating account
with Bank of America and restricted the use of funds in an calendar month to
payments equal to or less than a monthly budget submitted to Bank of America;
(iii) required the Company to pay any accrued or unpaid interest (but not
principal) on the B of A Note on the first day of each month and allow interest
to continue to accrue at the Bank of America Prime Rate plus two and one-half
percent (2.5%) per annum; and (iv) required the Company to furnish Bank of
America with certain financial reports.

The Second Amendment also amended the Termination Events as defined in
the Forbearance Agreement to include the following: (i) the Company fails to
execute and deliver or to cause the Companys CEO, Marshall B. Hunt and Hunt
LLLP to execute and deliver within 10 days from the effective date of the
Second Amendment a pledge to Bank of America of all the stock owned by Hunt and
documentation to amend the current Pledge Agreement between Hunt, Hunt LLLP and
the Company. The pledge documents will be held in escrow and will be released
only in the event that Hunt interferes with the daily operations of the Company
determinable at the Bank of Americas discretion at any point prior to January
1, 2005; (ii) the Company fails to engage and hire within five days from the
effective date of the Second Amendment competent crisis and turn around
management and a new Chief Executive Officer who shall report directly to the
independent members of the Companys Board of Directors; (iii) the Company
fails to provide Bank of America within five days from the effective date of
the Second Amendment a copy of resolutions confirming Hunts resignation as an
officer and director of the

18

##### 



Company and that no further salary or bonuses shall be paid to Hunt; (iv) the
Company fails to make efforts to refinance the amounts outstanding under the
BofA Credit Facility and fails to provide weekly status reports; (v) on or
before December 15, 2001, the Company fails to provide Bank of America evidence
that the Company has engaged an investment banking firm to begin marketing the
sale of the assets of the Company if the amounts outstanding under the BofA
Credit Facility are not paid off by the Termination Date; or (vi) the Company
fails to execute and deliver to Bank of America within 24 hours of Bank of
Americas request a consent order consenting to the appointment of a receiver
in the event of a Termination Event, as defined.

In addition, the Second Amendment reduced the Working Capital Sublimit to
$5,000,000 and limited the Working Capital Loan to the smaller of the Working
Capital Sublimit or an amount equal to the Borrowing Base, as defined in the
BofA Credit Facility. The Second Amendment also amended several of the
financial covenants previously contained in the Forbearance Agreement.

The Forbearance Agreement provided for the payment of Excess Cash Flow, as
defined in the BofA Credit Facility, on the ninetieth day following the last
day of each fiscal year. There was no Excess Cash Flow payment required for
fiscal year 2001. In addition, the Forbearance Agreement required an additional
principal payment in the amount of the greater of $150,000 or the gross
proceeds payable to the Company in connection with the Companys sale of the
Ideas for Medicine business (IFM) (see Note 14 of the Companys consolidated
financial statements contained in the Form 10-K).

The Forbearance Agreement further required payments of $300,000 each on a
short-term bridge loan (the BofA Bridge Loan) on May 31, 2001, August 31,
2001, and November 30, 2001. The proceeds of the BofA Bridge Loan were used to
fund a short-term bridge loan to the Companys chief executive officer (the
CEO), Marshall B. Hunt (the Shareholder Bridge Loan). All of the
installments under the BofA Bridge Loan and the Shareholder Bridge Loan were
paid.

The Forbearance Agreement also provided for a forbearance and
restructuring fee of $10,000 plus related expenses and interest at the rate
then in effect plus 6% upon a Termination Event, as defined in the Forbearance
Agreement.

As permitted under the BofA Credit Facility and BofA Bridge Loan
documents, Bank of America instituted a sweep arrangement whereby funds
collected in the Companys lockbox accounts were swept periodically into a Bank
of America account and applied against the outstanding loan under the BofA
Credit Facility. The financial institutions which held such accounts were
notified by Bank of America that such lockbox arrangements had been instituted,
and the Companys right to withdraw, transfer or pay funds from the accounts
had been terminated. The Company periodically applied to receive additional
loans under the Working Capital Loans under the BofA Credit Facility to the
extent such loan had been paid down under the lockbox arrangement.

In connection with the Forbearance Agreement, the Company issued a warrant
to Bank of America to acquire 435,157 shares of the Companys common stock for
$.05 per share. The warrant was exercisable by Bank of America during a
three-year period without regard to the status of the BofA Credit Facility or
the BofA Bridge Loan. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the
warrant as of December 31, 2001 of $260,000, determined using the Black-Scholes
Model (using weighted average assumptions as follows: dividend yield of 0%,
expected life of five years, expected volatility of 107.6% and a risk free
interest rate of 4.44%) as a deferred cost and amortized the deferred cost over
the Forbearance Period. As with the BofA Credit Facility and other related
agreements, the warrant was cancelled pursuant to the Recapitalization.

The Forbearance Agreement also required the Company to hire on or before
June 30, 2001 a new

19

##### 



chief operating officer, restricted the repayment of principal debt to junior
lien holders, and to either (i) sell the assets of IFM or (ii) obtain an
agreement from the seller of the IFM product line to defer all payments under
the related promissory note (see below) through the Termination Date (see Note
14 of the Companys consolidated financial statements included in the Form
10-K). The Company hired a Chief Operating Officer in April 2001 who was
terminated in June 2001, and the Company did not hire a replacement. The
Company sold the assets of the IFM product line as of March 30, 2001 (see Note
14 of the Companys consolidated financial statements included in the Form
10-K).

On December 15, 2001, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the
Forbearance Agreement under which Bank of America consented to the increase in
payments of $8,000 per month to certain former shareholders of Stepic (see Note
6 of the Companys consolidated financial statements included in the Form
10-K).

In January 2002, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the
Forbearance Agreement with Bank of America, pursuant to which Bank of America
agreed to extend the Forbearance Period until March 15, 2002 (the Expiration
Date) in order for the Company to consider its strategic alternatives. On
March 15, 2002, the BofA Credit Facility was assigned from Bank of America to
ComVest. On March 16, 2002, the Company issued the Convertible Notes in an
aggregate amount of $15 million to ComVest, Medtronic and the Additional Note
Purchasers. On March 18, 2002, the Company entered into the LaSalle credit
facility.

As of December 31, 2001, $3,465,874 was outstanding under the Working
Capital Loans, and $36,518,039, was outstanding under the Acquisition Loans,
each as defined in the BofA Credit Facility. No funds were available for
borrowing under the BofA Credit Facility as of December 31, 2001, except as may
be available under the sweep arrangement described below. In addition, the
Company had an outstanding standby letter of credit of $144,000 as of December
31, 2001. The letter of credit, which had terms through January 2002,
collateralized the Companys obligations to a third party in connection with an
acquisition (see Note 12 of the Companys consolidated financial statements
included in the Form 10-K).

Effective March 30, 2001, through the Termination Date of the Forbearance
Agreement, the BofA Credit Facility bore interest at the Bank of America prime
rate plus 2.5% per annum. As of December 31, 2001, the Companys interest rate
on the BofA Credit Facility was approximately 7.25%.

The BofA Credit Facility called for an unused commitment fee payable
quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of .375% per annum, as well as a letter of
credit fee payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of 2% per annum. Both fees
were based on a defined calculation in the agreement. In addition, the BofA
Credit Facility required an administrative fee in the amount of $30,000 to be
paid annually.

The Companys obligations under the BofA Credit Facility were
collateralized by liens on substantially all of the Companys assets, including
inventory, accounts receivable and general intangibles as well as a pledge of
the stock of the Companys subsidiaries. The Companys obligations under the
BofA Credit Facility were also guaranteed individually by each of the Companys
subsidiaries (the Guarantees). The obligations of such subsidiaries under the
Guarantees were collateralized by liens on substantially all of their
respective assets, including inventory, accounts receivable and general
intangibles. The Companys obligation under the Bridge Loan was collateralized
by the pledge of 2,813,943 shares of the Companys common stock beneficially
owned by the CEO and an affiliate, and by the collateral previously pledged by
the Company to Bank of America under the BofA Credit Facility.

In connection with the Recapitalization in March 2002, the Company entered
into an expense guaranty with the CEO under which he received 150,000 shares of
the Companys common stock in exchange for agreeing to reimburse ComVest for up
to a maximum of $400,000 of its transaction expenses in the event that the
Recapitalization was not consummated. The value of these shares of common stock
was $130,500 on the date of issuance. Also, pursuant to an advance note, the
CEO received 75,000 shares of the Companys common stock in exchange for
advancing to the Company $17,500 in transaction expenses associated with the
Recapitalization. The value of these shares of common stock was $62,250 on the
date of issuance.

The Company had unsecured loans to the CEO, the President of the Company,
and a former Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company in the form of notes
receivable. The notes require annual payments of interest at 8% beginning on
September 28, 1997 and were amended in September 2001 to extend the maturity
date from 2000 to December 31, 2002. The notes and related accrued interest
were recorded as contra-equity in the consolidated balance sheets. In March
2002, approximately $342,000 was paid to the Company by the CEO and the
President in full settlement of their outstanding balances, which included
accrued interest. During the third quarter of 2003, the notes that are payable
by the former Vice Chairman of the Board were amended to provide for payment by
the former Vice Chairman of the Board of principal and interest outstanding
under the notes in 12 equal monthly installments, commencing on July 15, 2003.
The loans payable by the former Vice Chairman of the Board remain outstanding
in the principal amount of $85,300, plus accrued interest receivable of $43,663
as of September 30, 2003.

As discussed in Note 6, on June 6, 2000, the Company obtained the BofA
Bridge Loan in the principal amount of $900,000, which was used to fund the
Shareholder Bridge Loan to the Companys CEO. The CEOs obligations under the
Shareholder Bridge Loan were collateralized by the pledge of 2,813,943 shares
of the Companys common stock owned beneficially by the CEO. The Companys
obligations under the BofA Bridge Loan were collateralized by the pledge of the
CEOs shares to BofA and by the collateral previously pledged by the Company to
BofA under the Companys then-existing credit facility with BofA. The
Shareholder Bridge Loan required interest at either the Index Rate or adjusted
LIBOR, as defined in the Shareholder Bridge Loan, plus 4.5% as elected by the
CEO. As of December 31, 2000, the interest rate was based on the Index Rate
with a resulting rate of approximately 11.32%. The Shareholder Bridge Loan and
related accrued interest were recorded as contra-equity in the consolidated
balance sheets and were due on August 30, 2000 but not paid. As a result, the
Company was unable to pay the amount due under the BofA Bridge Loan, thereby
causing the Company to default under the BofA Bridge Loan and the BofA Credit
Facility (see Note 6 to these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements contained herein). During 2001, the CEO paid the Shareholder Bridge
Loan obligation of $900,000 as described in Note 6. The accrued interest of
$109,303 under the Shareholder Bridge Loan was paid to the Company by the CEO
in June 2002.

During 2002, Tunstall Consulting, Inc., an affiliate of Gordon Tunstall, a
director of the Company, provided consulting services to the Company with
respect to financial and certain related matters, including the
Recapitalization. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company
incurred fees of $318,185 to Tunstall Consulting for consulting services
rendered to the Company in connection with the Recapitalization. The Company
incurred approximately $66,000 in fees to Tunstall Consulting for services
related to the extension of the maturity date of the Companys Convertible
Notes as described in Note 4, above, in the nine months ended September 30,
2003. The fees will be amortized over the life of the extension of the
maturity date of the Companys Convertible Notes. The
amortization is included in Note 8.

See Note 11 of the Companys consolidated financial statements included in
the Form 10-K for a description of the Companys other related party
transactions.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of
ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the
Company.

The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations. Management believes that the Company is in material
compliance with such laws and regulations and that potential environmental
liabilities, if any, are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company is party to license agreements with an individual (the
Licensor) for the right to manufacture and sell dual lumen fistula needles,
dual lumen over-the-needle catheters, dual lumen chronic and acute catheters,
and other products covered by the Licensors patents or derived from the
Licensors confidential information. Payments under the agreement vary,
depending upon the purchaser, and range from 9% to 15% of the Companys net
sales of such licensed products. Such payments shall continue until the
expiration date of each corresponding licensed patent right covering each
product under the agreement.

The Company has entered into various distribution agreements under which
the Company has guaranteed certain gross margin percentages to its
distributors. As a result of these guarantees, the Company has accrued
approximately $20,965 and $282,000 as of September 30, 2003 and December 31,
2002, respectively, related to amounts to be rebated to the various
distributors. The Company has reduced the number of distributors to which
these rebates are due, which resulted in a lower accrual amount as of September 30, 2003.

The Company is party to numerous agreements which contain certain
provisions regarding change in control, as defined by the agreements, or the
acquisition of the Company by a third party. These provisions could result in
additional payments being required by the Company should these events, as
defined, occur.

In November 2002, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Chepstow
Limited (Chepstow) against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Marshall
B. Hunt, its President, William E. Peterson, Jr., and members of Mr. Hunts
family and a family limited partnership established by Mr. Hunt and his wife.
Chepstow alleged that it had a judgment on a promissory note against Mr. Hunt,
that it is engaging in post-judgment collection efforts, and that the defendant
parties in this action had engaged with Mr. Hunt in fraudulent conveyances of
Mr. Hunts assets. Specifically, with respect to the Company, Chepstow alleged
that, in March 2002, Mr. Hunt transferred 225,000 shares of the Companys
common stock to his family limited partnership, that such transfer was a
fraudulent conveyance under Georgia law, that the Company assisted in such
transfer, and that the Company engaged in an unlawful conspiracy to hinder,
delay or defraud Chepstow as Mr. Hunts creditor. Chepstow sought to void such
transfers and injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and punitive damages
from the defendants, including the Company. The Company filed a motion to
dismiss the action against the Company. In July 2003, the court granted the
Companys motion to dismiss and dismissed the lawsuit against all parties. In
August 2003, plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal with respect to the courts
dismissal and the Company has filed its brief in connection with such appeal.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the holders of the
Convertible Notes have the right to convert in the aggregate a total of
$270,000 of the Convertible Notes into shares of the Companys common stock at
a conversion price of $0.01 per share for a total of 27,000,000 shares, subject
to a downward adjustment (see Note 4 to these interim condensed consolidated
financial statements). As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
respectively, there were 9,900,000 and

8,250,000 shares outstanding as a result of conversions by the Additional Note
Purchasers and 9,900,000 and 8,800,000 shares outstanding as a result of
conversions by ComVest.

As described in Note 4 to the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements contained herein, the Loan Agreement sets forth certain Events of
Default, the occurrence of which would allow the Lender to accelerate the
Companys obligations under the Loan Agreement (see Note 4 to these interim
condensed consolidated financial statements).

On March 15, 2002, the Company entered into a Co-Promotion Agreement with
Medtronic under which the Company will promote and provide technical advice for
Medtronics implantable drug delivery systems which are used for the treatment
of hepatic arterial infusion and malignant pain. If the Company breaches or
fails to comply with its obligations under the Co-Promotion Agreement (after
giving effect to any applicable cure periods), then Medtronic or 51% of the
holders of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes may
accelerate the due date for payment of the Convertible Notes (see Note 4 to
these interim condensed consolidated financial statements).

On April 15, 2003, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the
Amendment) to Co-Promotion Agreement with Medtronic, and on April 17, 2003,
the Company entered into the Exclusive Distributor Agreement with Medtronic
(Distributor Agreement). Under the Distributor Agreement, the Company became
the exclusive distributor commencing June 1, 2003 in the United States for
Medtronics IsoMed(R) constant flow infusion system for the delivery of
chemotherapy agents for use in hepatic arterial infusion therapy for patients
with colorectal liver cancer. The term of the Distributor Agreement is for
three years through May 31, 2006 with two renewal terms of one year each unless
either party terminates the relationship prior to the commencement of either
renewal term. Under the Amendment, the IsoMed(R) infusion system was removed
from the Co-Promotion Agreement (leaving the Medtronic SynchroMed(R) infusion
system for the treatment of malignant pain as the only product under the
Co-Promotion Agreement) and the compensation structure in the Co-Promotion
Agreement was modified.

7. Sale of Distribution Segment

On September 3, 2002, the Company sold Stepic to Arrow International, Inc.
(Arrow) for approximately $12.6 million, consisting of $11 million in cash,
$1.1 million placed in escrow and a note receivable in the amount of $500,000.
In addition, the Company retained assets of approximately $1.1 million in the
transaction.

Approximately $7.8 million of the cash proceeds of the Stepic sale were
used to pay down all amounts outstanding at closing under the Companys
revolving senior credit facility with the Lender. The Company has used a
portion of the remaining proceeds for working capital purposes. Additionally,
as required pursuant to a letter agreement among the Company, ComVest and
Medtronic, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Companys management and
Executive Committee delivered to each of ComVest and Medtronic an operating
plan and budget (including working capital needs) reflecting its business
following the sale of Stepic and a proposal for the use of proceeds from the
sale of Stepic. This operating plan and budget, together with the use of
proceeds, was approved by ComVest and Medtronic and was subsequently ratified
by the Companys board of directors. In connection with this sale, the Company
received the consent of LaSalle and the requisite noteholders under the Note
Purchase Agreement (see Note 15 of the notes to the Companys audited
consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Form 10-K for
further discussion on the sale of Stepic).

Arrow paid $1.1 million of the cash purchase price into escrow, which sum
has been distributed to the Company (in an amount equal to $1,051,317 plus
interest of $904) and to Arrow (in an amount equal to $48,683) in accordance
with the terms of the asset purchase agreement and escrow agreement

entered into in connection with the Stepic sale. Finally, Arrow issued to the
Company a promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000, which bore
interest at an annual rate of 5%. Pursuant to the terms of this note, $250,000
plus interest of $3,664 was paid to the Company on December 19, 2002 and the
balance of $250,000 plus interest of $6,199 and was paid to the Company on
March 3, 2003.

Net sales and income from the discontinued operations of the distribution
reporting unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are as
follows:

Goodwill of $16.1 million for the Stepic distribution segment was written
off in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as part of the Companys
adoption of SFAS No. 142 (see Notes 1 and 8 to these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements contained herein).

8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142
requires that: (1) goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no
longer be amortized; (2) goodwill will be tested for impairment at least
annually at the reporting unit level; (3) intangible assets deemed to have an
indefinite life will be tested for impairment at least annually; and (4) the
amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be
limited to forty years. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company
recorded an impairment loss of $16.1 million with respect to its distribution
business.

A summary of the Companys intangible assets as of September 30, 2003 is
as follows:

Indefinite lived intangible assets:

|         |  |  |             | 
|-------- |  |  | ----------- | 
|Goodwill |  |  | $15,650,356 | 

Finite lived intangible assets as of September 30, 2003, subject to
amortization expense, are comprised of the following:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company acquired a
portion of the business of one of its former independent distributors, which
consisted of inventory, a non-compete agreement and a customer list in the
amounts of $56,245, $143,135 and $143,134, respectively, and ended its
relationship with the distributor. As discussed in Note 5,
during the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company
incurred approximately $66,000 in fees to Tunstall Consulting for
services related to the extension of the maturity date of the
Companys Convertible Notes, which will be amortized over the
life of the extension of the maturity date. Approximately $4,000 in additional professional fees were incurred for
services related to this extension and will also be amortized over the life of the extension of the maturity date.

9. Shareholders Equity

As described in Notes 3, 4 & 6, as a result of the conversion of a portion
of the Convertible Notes, Common Stock increased by $2,750 and Additional Paid
in Capital increased by $24,750 during the nine months ended September 30,
2003. The exercise of stock options added $43 and $25,229 to Common Stock and
Additional Paid in Capital, respectively. The repayment of Notes Receivable by
a former Vice Chairman of the Board, as discussed in Note 5, reduced the
Shareholder Note receivable in the equity section, by $41,868 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2003.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of critical accounting policies utilized by the Company,
see the Form 10-K. Since the date of the Form 10-K, there has been no material
change in the Companys critical accounting policies.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter of 2003 Compared to Third Quarter of 2002

Net Sales. Net sales increased 42% to $7.5 million for the third
quarter of 2003 from $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2002. This increase
is primarily attributable to continued growth in new product sales into the
oncology market by the Companys direct sales organization. New products
include the LifeGuard Huber Safety Needle, Medtronics IsoMed ®Hepatic
Arterial Infusion (HAI) product line and the new LifeValve® Platinum CVC. The
recently released LifeJet F-16 hemodialysis catheter also has contributed to
the sales growth.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $4.5 million, or 60% of net
sales, for the third quarter of 2003 from $3.25 million, or 61% of net sales,
for the third quarter of 2002. The increase in gross profit can be attributed
to the increased sales and increased manufacturing efficiencies, while the
change in product mix caused the gross profit margin percentage to decrease in
the third quarter of 2003.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses (SG&A) increased to approximately $3.9 million for
the third quarter of 2003 compared with $3.4 million for the third quarter of
2002. This increase is attributable to higher research and development costs
and to costs associated with the Companys direct sales expansion program.
These increases were offset by Recapitalization-related expenses of
approximately $200,000 incurred in the third quarter of 2002 which were not
recurring in 2003. However, SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to
51% for the third quarter of 2003 from 64% for the third quarter of 2002 due to
the non-recurring Recapitalization-related expenses and a continued focus on
expense control.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by
$134,275 from $723,605 for the third quarter of 2002 to $589,330 for the third
quarter of 2003. This decrease is the result of lower debt outstanding and
lower deferred loan costs.

Discontinued Operations. Income from operations of the Companys
discontinued distribution segment (Stepic) was $3.8 million for the third
quarter of 2002. The Company sold Stepic on September 3, 2002.

Income Taxes. While the Company reported net income for GAAP purposes for
the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company expects
to have a taxable loss for the year. Accordingly, no provision for
income taxes is necessary as of September 30, 2003.
As a result of the conversion to common stock of debt issued in the
Recapitalization in 2002, the Company may have had a change in control for
income tax purposes. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code), restricts the utilization of net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards and the benefit of certain

26



---



##### 



built in losses when there has been a change in control as defined in the Code.
The Companys NOL is subject to this restriction. Management is in the process of
determining whether the conversion triggered a change in control, and
additionally, is calculating the tax implications of the potential change of
control.

Goodwill Impairment Loss. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1,
2002, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $16.1 million
related to its distribution reporting unit. The Company has identified two
reporting units, the aforementioned manufacturing unit and the distribution
unit. These reporting units are consistent with the Companys previously
identified reportable segments under SFAS No. 131. In applying the
transitional impairment model prescribed by SFAS 142, the Company used a
discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the net assets of
each of the Companys reporting units. Significant assumptions utilized in the
model were revenue growth rates, gross margin percentages, depreciation and
amortization, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and the
appropriate discount rate. The fair value of the Companys distribution
reporting units net assets were less than the carrying value of those net
assets; thus, the Company proceeded to step 2 of the SFAS No. 142 impairment
model, whereby the Company allocated that fair value to the reporting units
tangible and intangible net assets. The Company utilized various methods to
determine the fair value of the distribution units identifiable intangible
assets, including discounted cash flows, royalty savings method, and the cost
approach. Significant assumptions used in valuing these intangible assets
included price premiums, expected effective tax rates, the discount rate,
remaining useful lives of intangible assets, royalty rates, and residual
values. A comparison of the implied fair value of goodwill, calculated from the
allocation of fair value described above, to the carrying net book value of
goodwill at January 1, 2002 yielded the impairment charge described above. The
Company applied the same methodology to its manufacturing unit and concluded
that the goodwill associated with that reporting unit was not impaired.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

Net Sales.Net sales increased $4.4 million, or 27%, to $20.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $15.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to continued
growth in sales from new products introduced in the second half of 2002, the
recent introduction of new products including the LifeValve® Platinum CVC and
recently released LifeJet F-16 hemodialysis catheter, combined with the
addition of Medtronics IsoMed® HAI product line in June 2003. In addition,
there was overall sales growth resulting from the Companys direct sales
expansion program implemented in late 2002 in which a larger portion of the
Companys sales is derived from its direct sales force, as compared to the
past, which featured a larger mix of distributors and direct sales
representatives.

Gross Profit.Gross profit increased 34% to $12 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 from $9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002. Gross margin percentage increased to 60% in the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 from 57% in the nine months ended September 30,
2002. The increase in gross profit percentage is the result of increased
manufacturing efficiencies and the increase in net sales derived from the
Companys direct sales force versus the mix of distributor sales in the
previous year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.SG&A expenses decreased
approximately $1.2 million to approximately $11.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared with $12.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002. This decrease is attributable to approximately $3.0
million of Recapitalization-related expenses incurred in 2002, which were not
recurring in 2003. Exclusive of Recapitalization-related expenses, SG&A
increased approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30,

27

##### 



2002.     The increase in SG&A was attributable to increased research and
development expenses and increased costs associated with the direct sales
expansion program implemented in late 2002.

SG&A expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 55% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 from 79% for the nine months ended September
30, 2002. This decrease is due to the Recapitalization-related expenses
incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Exclusive of these
Recapitalization-related expenses, SG&A decreased to 55% of net sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 60% of net sales for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. This decrease is due to the continued focus on
expense control throughout 2003 combined with the economies associated with
increased sales over a stable support base.

Discontinued Operations.Income from operations of the Companys
discontinued distribution segment (Stepic) was $4.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. The Company sold Stepic on September 3, 2002.

Loss
on Early Extinguishment of Debt.The Company originally recorded an extraordinary loss of
approximately $6.6 million on the extinguishment of its BofA debt as a result
of the Recapitalization transaction during the nine months ended September 30,
2002. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 145 effective as of January 1,
2003 and for the year then ended. As a result and in accordance with
Statement No. 145 and Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 30 (APB No. 30), the extraordinary loss
on the extinguishment of debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from
extraordinary items to a component of other
income/(expense) in the continuing operations portion of the
Companys statement of operations. The Company has determined
that the item reported as extraordinary requires revision in order to be
presented in accordance with SFAS No. 145 and APB No. 30. The
effect of this revision is to reclassify the extraordinary item to
other income/expense from continuing operations. There was no
effect on the previously reported balance sheet, stockholders equity, net income or cash
flows of the Company.

Interest Expense.Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased to
approximately $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared
to approximately $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The
decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is due primarily to
lower outstanding debt.

Income Taxes.The Company generated an income tax loss during the first
nine months of 2003, which was reduced by a valuation allowance on the Companys deferred tax assets. The
Companys taxable income generated as a result of the extinguishment of the
BofA Credit Facility pursuant to the Recapitalization in the first nine months
of 2002 was fully offset by a net operating loss carryforward upon which a
valuation allowance had previously been established in 2001. As a result of
the conversion to common stock of debt issued in the Recapitalization, the
Company may have had a change in control for income tax purposes. Section 382
of the Code restricts the utilization of NOL carryforwards and the benefit of
certain built in losses when there has been a change in control as defined in
the tax code. The Companys NOL and the majority of the tax loss for the first
nine months of 2003 are subject to this restriction. Management is in the
process of determining whether the conversion triggered a change in control,
and additionally, is calculating the tax implications of the potential change
of control.

Goodwill Impairment Loss.Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1,
2002, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $16.1 million
related to its distribution reporting unit. The Company has identified two
reporting units, the aforementioned manufacturing unit and the distribution

reporting units net assets were less than the carrying value of those net
assets; thus, the Company proceeded to step 2 of the SFAS No. 142 impairment
model, whereby the Company allocated that fair

value to the reporting units tangible and intangible net assets. The Company
utilized various methods to determine the fair value of the distribution units
identifiable intangible assets, including discounted cash flows, royalty
savings method, and the cost approach. Significant assumptions used in valuing
these intangible assets included price premiums, expected effective tax rates,
the discount rate, remaining useful lives of intangible assets, royalty rates,
and residual values. A comparison of the implied fair value of goodwill,
calculated from the allocation of fair value described above, to the carrying
net book value of goodwill at January 1, 2002 yielded the impairment charge
described above. The Company applied the same methodology to its manufacturing
unit and concluded that the goodwill associated with that reporting unit was
not impaired.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companys principal capital requirements are to fund working capital
requirements and capital expenditures for its existing facility. Historically,
the Company has used cash generated by operations, bank financing and, in 1998,
proceeds from its initial public equity offering to fund its capital
requirements. Additionally, the Company requires capital to finance accounts
receivable and inventory. The Companys working capital requirements vary from
period to period depending on its production volume, the timing of shipments
and the payment terms offered to its customers.

Net cash used in operating activities was $396,786 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared with $2.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002. The decrease in cash used in operations during 2003
compared to 2002 was primarily attributable to the Recapitalization-related
transaction expenses paid in 2002, which were offset by increases in accounts
receivable and decreases in accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $435,544 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003, as compared to cash provided by investing activities
of approximately $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Cash used in investing activities in 2003 consisted of capital expenditures and
acquisition of intangibles assets as a result of the Companys acquisition of a
portion of the business of one of its former independent distributors. The
decrease in cash provided by investing activities during 2003 compared to 2002
was attributable to 2002 proceeds from the disposition of distribution segment
and from proceeds from shareholders note receivables.

Net cash used in financing activities was $884,529 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to net cash used in financing activities of
approximately $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Financing activities in 2003 consisted primarily of principal payments of
long-term debt. Financing activities in 2002 substantially consisted of debt
issuance costs paid as part of the Recapitalization of approximately $1.5
million as well as net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and payment
of debt on the Companys BofA Credit Facility, both pursuant to the
Recapitalization. The decrease in cash used in financing activities during
2003 compared to 2002 was attributable to the Recapitalization.

On March 1, 2002, the Company entered into certain agreements with ComVest
Venture Partners, L.P. (ComVest), an affiliate of Commonwealth Associates
L.P. (Commonwealth) to recapitalize the Company (the Recapitalization). The
Company completed the Recapitalization on March 16, 2002 and the Forbearance
Agreement between the Company and Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America or
BofA) dated March 30, 2001, as subsequently amended (the Forbearance
Agreement), was terminated as of March 15, 2002. The Forbearance Agreement is
described below.

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the Recapitalization:

##### 



On March 19, 2002, the Company completed an arrangement with ComVest,
LaSalle Business Credit, Inc. (LaSalle), and Medtronic Inc. (Medtronic) to
recapitalize the Company by extinguishing all of the Companys senior debt and
warrants held by Bank of America and substantially reducing the Companys total
outstanding debt. Pursuant to the Recapitalization, the Company issued the
Convertible Notes in the amount of $15 million to ComVest, Medtronic and other
investors, assumed a $2 million Junior Note payable to Bank of America (the
Junior Note), and entered into a new revolving and term loan facility (the
LaSalle Credit Facility) for up to $22 million, of which approximately $1.6
million was outstanding as of December 31, 2002. The following is a summary of
the key provisions of the Recapitalization:

On February 22, 2002, ComVest and Bank of America entered into an
assignment agreement under which ComVest agreed to acquire all of Bank of
Americas interest in the outstanding $50 million BofA Credit Facility. The
purchase price for the assignment was $22 million in cash, plus the $2 million
Junior Note. The Company subsequently assumed the Junior Note pursuant to the
Recapitalization, and ComVest has been released from obligations under the
Junior Note. Upon the closing of the assignment on March 15, 2002, ComVest
acquired all of Bank of Americas interest in the BofA Note, the warrants
issued to Bank of America pursuant to the BofA Credit Facility were surrendered
and cancelled, and the Forbearance Agreement was terminated. The warrants,
which had previously been recorded in additional paid-in-capital at their
estimated fair value at issuance of $260,000, were extinguished at their
estimated fair value on the date of extinguishment of $345,000. As a result,
$345,000 was originally included as a component of the extraordinary loss on early
extinguishment of debt. The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 145 effective as of January 1, 2003
and for the year then ended. As a result and in accordance with Statement
No. 145 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30
(APB No. 30), the extraordinary loss on the
extinguishment of debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from
extraordinary items to a component of other
income/(expense) in the continuing operations portion of the
Companys statement of operations. The Company has determined
that the items reported as extraordinary require revision in order to
be presented in accordance with SFAS No. 145 and APB
No. 30. The effect of this revision is to reclassify the
extraordinary items to other income/expense from
continuing operations. There was no effect on the balance sheet,
stockholders equity, net income or cash flow of the Company.

On March 1, 2002, the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement
with ComVest, Medtronic and the Additional Note Purchasers. Under the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue $15 million of Convertible
Notes. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable quarterly beginning in June
2002 and accrues at a rate of 6% per year for the first six months and 8% per
year thereafter until the Convertible Notes are paid in full and mature on
March 16, 2004. The Company issued the Convertible Notes as follows: $4.4
million to ComVest, $4 million to Medtronic and $6.6 million to the Additional
Note Purchasers. Additionally, in connection with the Recapitalization, the
Company issued a Convertible Bridge Note (the Bridge Note) to ComVest.
ComVest has converted this note into 3,300,000 shares of the Companys common
stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. As a result of such conversion,
the Bridge Note has been extinguished.

On March 15, 2002, the Company and ComVest, as the holder of the
outstanding BofA Note, agreed to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the
BofA Note from $40.3 million to $22 million. As a result,
the Company originally recorded
a net extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately
$6.6 million during the first quarter of 2002. The Company has
adopted SFAS No. 145 effective as of January 1, 2003 and
for the year then ended. As a result and in accordance with Statement
No. 145 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30 (APB
No. 30), the extraordinary loss on the extinguishment of
debt recognized in 2002 is reclassified from extraordinary items to a
component of other income/(expense) in the continuing
operations portion of the Companys statement of operations. The
Company has determined that the items reported as extraordinary
require revision in order to be presented in accordance with SFAS
No. 145 and APB No. 30. The effect of this revision is to
reclassify the extraordinary items to other
income/expense from continuing operations. There was no effect
on the balance sheet, stockholders equity, net income or cash
flow of the Company. This loss on
extinguishment of debt was
calculated by subtracting the fair value of the new debt of $42.6 million,
which included the amount outstanding under the LaSalle Credit Facility ($7.3
million), the Convertible Notes ($33.3 million), and the BofA Junior Note ($2.0
million), from the amount outstanding under the Bank of America debt of $40.3
million. Also included in the loss were various costs paid to
ComVest, Commonwealth Associates, L.P. and LaSalle, as the lenders, to effect
the Recapitalization of $4.3 million. Included as components of the additional
$4.3 million of transaction expenses were the following: $570,000 in closing
costs and due diligence fees paid to LaSalle; a warrant to purchase the
Companys common stock issued to LaSalle valued at approximately $695,000;
approximately 2.7 million shares issued to ComVest valued at approximately $2.3
million; deferred loan costs from the original BofA debt of approximately
$128,000, and $1.15 million paid to Commonwealth in closing costs and due
diligence fees. Also included in the additional expenses, but offsetting these
amounts are approximately $130,000 in fees and accrued interest forgiven by
Bank of America and the fair value of the BofA warrant of $345,000 which was
acquired and cancelled by ComVest.

##### 



The Company also incurred numerous other costs that were either expensed
as incurred or capitalized as debt issuance costs. Included in selling,
general, and administrative expenses for fiscal 2002 are approximately $3
million of expenses related to the Recapitalization. The primary components of
those expenses are $2.4 million in stock compensation and bonuses to two of the
Companys executive officers, $168,000 in consulting fees, and $428,000 in
legal and other fees. The Company capitalized approximately $1.5 million as
debt issuance costs, consisting primarily of $906,000 in legal fees, $322,000
of consulting fees, and $222,000 of other miscellaneous fees paid for services
rendered in connection with the Recapitalization.

In exchange for funding a portion of the $22 million cash purchase price
paid to Bank of America, ComVest assigned $4 million in principal amount of the
BofA Note to Medtronic and $6.6 million in principal amount of the BofA Note to
the Additional Note Purchasers while retaining $11.4 million in principal
amount of the BofA Note itself. After such assignments, the Company issued the
Convertible Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement in the aggregate principal
amount of $15 million in exchange for the surrender of $15 million in principal
amount of the BofA Note held by ComVest, Medtronic and the Additional Note
Purchasers. The remaining $7 million in principal amount of the BofA Note was
repaid with the proceeds of a bridge loan from ComVest to the Company made on
March 15, 2002 (the Bridge Loan).

The fair value of the Convertible Notes, which was used in the
determination of the loss on early extinguishment of debt was
$33.3 million. As this value represents a substantial premium to the face
value of the debt, the Company recorded the debt at its face value of $15
million, and recorded the premium of $18.3 million as an increase to additional
paid-in-capital. The Company determined the fair value of the Convertible Notes
by considering their two components, the non-convertible debt of $14,730,000
and the convertible debt of $270,000. The non-convertible debt components
carrying value of $14,730,000 represents its fair value because, when
considered with the convertible component, its terms yield a market rate of
return. The convertible components fair value was determined by multiplying
the fair value of the Companys stock by the number of shares into which this
component is convertible. Thus, 27,000,000 shares multiplied by $0.68940 per
share equals $18,613,685. The sum of the non-convertible components fair value
of $14,730,000 and the convertible components fair value of $18,613,685 equals
the total debt instruments fair value of $33,343,685.

The Company determined the fair value of its stock in a multiple-step
process. First, the Company computed its assumed fair value of $13,762,977 at
the date of the transaction by multiplying outstanding shares of 16,311,676 by
the then current market price per share of $0.84375, which resulted in a fair
value of the Company prior to any conversion of the convertible portion of the
Convertible Notes. The Company then added to this computed fair value
$16,095,909, which represents the difference between the old Bank of America
debt of $40,320,909 and the face value of the new debt of $24,225,000. This
$16,095,909 difference was credited to additional paid-in-capital. Thus, the
new fair value of the Company, prior to any conversion, is $29,858,886. The
Company then assumed full conversion of the convertible portion of the notes,
which resulted in an additional 27,000,000 shares becoming outstanding. After
conversion, the Company would have 43,311,676 shares outstanding, which when
divided into the new fair value of $29,858,886, yields a new per share market
value of $0.68940.

Effective October 31, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with
Medtronic and ComVest, representing the holders of Convertible Notes, to extend
the maturity date of the Convertible Notes from March 16, 2004 to July 16,
2005. The Companys Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets for the period ending September 30, 2003 reflect this
extension in maturity date of the Companys Convertible Notes in
classification of current and long term debt.

On March 18, 2002, the Company entered into the LaSalle Credit Facility
pursuant to a loan and security agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Standard
Federal Bank National Association (SFB), acting by and through LaSalle, as
SFBs agent (collectively the Lender). Under the Loan Agreement,

31

##### 



the Lender provided a $20 million Revolving Loan and a $2 million Term Loan.
Effective December 23, 2002, in connection with the December Amendment (as
defined below), the revolving loan limit was reduced to $10 million. The
Company used the proceeds to repay the Bridge Loan and expenses related to the
Recapitalization and will use the remaining proceeds for working capital and
general corporate purposes. Both loan facilities will bear interest at the
LaSalle Bank Prime Rate plus 2%, subject to an additional 2% that would be
added to the interest rate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
discussed below). As collateral, the Company granted a security interest in
all of the Companys present and future assets, whether now or hereafter owned,
existing, acquired or arising and wherever now or hereafter located. The Loan
Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants as well as financial
maintenance covenants (as discussed below).

Effective December 23, 2002, the Company and the Lender amended the Loan
Agreement (the December Amendment) to, among other things, amend certain
financial maintenance covenants. These covenants, include, but are not limited
to, the following:



| |  |  | maintaining Tangible Net Worth of $7,500,000 for the quarters
ending December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and

31, 2003 and each quarter thereafter (Tangible Net Worth is defined
as the Companys shareholders equity including retained earnings

The December Amendment also established a $10 million revolving loan limit
and provided that, commencing January 1, 2003, the Company shall pay to the
Lender an annual facility fee of $100,000. As of September 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, the Company had $3.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively,
available for borrowing under the revolving portion of the Loan Agreement. As
of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had $1.0 million and
$1.5 million, respectively, in borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan. The
Company had no borrowings under the revolving loan as of September 30, 2003 and
approximately $128,000 in borrowings outstanding under the revolving loan as of
December 31, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the Company believes it was in
compliance with all such covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended
by the December Amendment.

The Loan Agreement also specifies certain Events of Default, including,
but not limited to, failure

32

to pay obligations when due, failure to direct its account debtors to make
payments to an established lockbox, failure to make timely financial reports to
the Lender, the breach by the Company or any guarantor of any obligations with
any other Person (as defined in the Loan Agreement) if such breach might have a
material adverse effect on the Company or such guarantor, breach of
representations, warranties or covenants, loss of collateral in excess of
$50,000, bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, judgments in excess of $25,000,
any attempt to levy fees or attach the collateral, defaults or revocations of
any guarantees, institution of criminal proceedings against the Company or any
guarantor, occurrence of a change in control, the occurrence of a Material
Adverse Change or a default or an event of default under certain subordinated
debt documents. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may
accelerate the Companys obligations under the Loan Agreement.

The Company must repay the Revolving Loan on or before March 17, 2005, the
Termination Date, unless the Loan Agreement is renewed and the repayment period
is extended through a new Termination Date. The Company must repay the Term
Loan in 36 equal monthly installments of $55,556 commencing April 2002. The
Loan Agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Lender
demands repayment on the Termination Date, the due date is accelerated as a
result of an Event of Default, the Company gives 90-days notice of its intent
to terminate and pays all amounts due in full, or the Lender elects to
terminate on or after February 1, 2004 as a result of a Termination Event. A
Termination Event is defined as the failure of Medtronic, ComVest or any
Additional Note Purchaser to extend the maturity date (March 15, 2004) of the
Convertible Notes at least thirty days past the date of the original term
(March 17, 2005) or any applicable renewal term. Effective October 31, 2003,
the Company, ComVest and Medtronic agreed to extend the maturity date of the
Convertible Notes to July 16, 2005.

Pursuant to the LaSalle credit facility, the Company also issued to
LaSalle and SFB warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 748,619 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The Company recorded the
estimated fair value of the warrant as of March 18, 2002 of approximately
$695,000, determined using the Black-Scholes model (using weighted average
assumptions as follows: dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 3 years,
expected volatility of 112.2% and a risk free interest rate of 2.43%) as a
reduction of the gain on early extinguishment of debt.

The Junior Note in the amount of $2 million bears interest at a rate of 6%
per annum, payable monthly beginning April 2002, and matures on March 15, 2007.
Beginning on May 1, 2003, a principal payment on the Junior Note of $22,500 is
payable on the first day of each month until maturity of the Junior Note.

On September 3, 2002, the Company sold Stepic to Arrow International, Inc.
(Arrow) for approximately $12.6 million, consisting of $11 million in cash,
$1.1 million placed in escrow and a note receivable in the amount of $500,000.
In addition, the Company retained assets of approximately $1.1 million in the
transaction.

Approximately $7.8 million of the cash proceeds of the Stepic sale were
used to pay down all amounts outstanding at closing under the Companys
revolving senior credit facility with the Lender. The Company has used a
portion of the remaining proceeds for working capital purposes. Additionally,
as required pursuant to a letter agreement among the Company, ComVest and
Medtronic, the Companys management and Executive Committee delivered to each
of ComVest and Medtronic an operating plan and budget (including working
capital needs) reflecting its business following the sale of Stepic and a
proposal for the use of proceeds from the sale of Stepic. This operating plan
and budget, together with the use of proceeds, was approved by ComVest and
Medtronic and was subsequently ratified by the Companys board of directors. In
connection with this sale, the Company received the consent of LaSalle and the
requisite noteholders under the Note Purchase Agreement. (See Note 15 of the
notes to the

33

##### 



Companys audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Form
10-K).

Arrow paid $1.1 million of the cash purchase price into escrow, which sum
has been distributed to the Company (in an amount equal to $1,051,317 plus
interest of $904) and to Arrow (in an amount equal to $48,683) in accordance
with the terms of the asset purchase agreement and escrow agreement entered
into in connection with the Stepic sale. Finally, Arrow issued to the Company a
promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000, which bore interest at an
annual rate of 5%. Pursuant to the terms of this note, $250,000 plus interest
of $3,664 was paid to the Company on December 19, 2002 and the balance of
$250,000 plus interest of $6,199 and was paid to the Company on March 3, 2003.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has complied with all of the
requirements of the Loan Agreement and currently does not have any borrowings
under the Revolving Loan. The Company believes it has available cash resources
to meet its working capital needs through fiscal year 2004.

As a result of the Recapitalization, the BofA Credit Facility, the
Forbearance Agreement with Bank of America, and all subsequent amendments were
terminated. However, because those agreements were significant to the
capitalization of the Company prior to the Recapitalization, the terms of those
agreements are briefly summarized as follows:

On March 30, 2001, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and a
First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement wherein Bank of America agreed to
forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the BofA Credit Facility
due to certain defaults. The Company was in default at that time for violating
certain restrictive covenants and for failing to make principal payments when
due. All of the defaults were forborne as provided for in the Forbearance
Agreement, and revised restrictive covenants were set. By September 30, 2001,
the Company was in default under the Forbearance Agreement for failing to
comply with some of the revised covenants, including minimum net worth, debt
service coverage, leverage and minimum EBITDA.

On October 15, 2001, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the
Forbearance Agreement (the Second Amendment). The Second Amendment amended
the Forbearance Agreement as follows: (i) changed the termination date of the
Forbearance Agreement from March 31, 2002 to January 15, 2002 (the period from
March 30, 2001 through January 15, 2002 being defined as the Forbearance
Period); (ii) required the Company to maintain a general operating account
with Bank of America and restricted the use of funds in an calendar month to
payments equal to or less than a monthly budget submitted to Bank of America;
(iii) required the Company to pay any accrued or unpaid interest (but not
principal) on the B of A Note on the first day of each month and allow interest
to continue to accrue at the Bank of America Prime Rate plus two and one-half
percent (2.5%) per annum; and (iv) required the Company to furnish Bank of
America with certain financial reports.

The Second Amendment also amended the Termination Events as defined in
the Forbearance Agreement to include the following: (i) the Company fails to
execute and deliver or to cause the Companys CEO, Marshall B. Hunt and Hunt
LLLP to execute and deliver within 10 days from the effective date of the
Second Amendment a pledge to Bank of America of all the stock owned by Hunt and
documentation to amend the current Pledge Agreement between Hunt, Hunt LLLP and
the Company. The pledge documents will be held in escrow and will be released
only in the event that Hunt interferes with the daily operations of the Company
determinable at the Bank of Americas discretion at any point prior to January
1, 2005; (ii) the Company fails to engage and hire within five days from the
effective date of the Second Amendment competent crisis and turn around
management and a new Chief Executive Officer who shall report directly to the
independent members of the Companys Board of Directors; (iii) the Company
fails to provide Bank of America within five days from the effective date of
the Second Amendment a copy of resolutions confirming Hunts resignation as an
officer and director of the

34

##### 



Company and that no further salary or bonuses shall be paid to Hunt; (iv) the
Company fails to make efforts to refinance the amounts outstanding under the
BofA Credit Facility and fails to provide weekly status reports; (v) on or
before December 15, 2001, the Company fails to provide Bank of America evidence
that the Company has engaged an investment banking firm to begin marketing the
sale of the assets of the Company if the amounts outstanding under the BofA
Credit Facility are not paid off by the Termination Date; or (vi) the Company
fails to execute and deliver to Bank of America within 24 hours of Bank of
Americas request a consent order consenting to the appointment of a receiver
in the event of a Termination Event, as defined.

In addition, the Second Amendment reduced the Working Capital Sublimit to
$5,000,000 and limited the Working Capital Loan to the smaller of the Working
Capital Sublimit or an amount equal to the Borrowing Base, as defined in the
BofA Credit Facility. The Second Amendment also amended several of the
financial covenants previously contained in the Forbearance Agreement.

The Forbearance Agreement provided for the payment of Excess Cash Flow, as
defined in the BofA Credit Facility, on the ninetieth day following the last
day of each fiscal year. There was no Excess Cash Flow payment required for
fiscal year 2001. In addition, the Forbearance Agreement required an additional
principal payment in the amount of the greater of $150,000 or the gross
proceeds payable to the Company in connection with the Companys sale of the
Ideas for Medicine business (IFM) (see Note 14 of the notes to the
consolidated financial statements included herein).

The Forbearance Agreement further required payments of $300,000 each on a
short-term bridge loan (the BofA Bridge Loan) on May 31, 2001, August 31,
2001, and November 30, 2001. The proceeds of the BofA Bridge Loan were used to
fund a short-term bridge loan to the Companys CEO, Marshall B. Hunt (the
Shareholder Bridge Loan). All of the installments under the BofA Bridge Loan
and the Shareholder Bridge Loan were paid. The Forbearance Agreement also
provided for a forbearance and restructuring fee of $10,000 plus related
expenses and interest at the rate then in effect plus 6% upon a Termination
Event, as defined in the Forbearance Agreement.

In connection with the Forbearance Agreement, the Company issued a warrant
to Bank of America to acquire 435,157 shares of the Companys common stock for
$.05 per share. The warrant was exercisable by Bank of America during a
three-year period without regard to the status of the BofA Credit Facility or
the BofA Bridge Loan. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the
warrant as of December 31, 2001 of $260,000, determined using the Black-Scholes
Model (using weighted average assumptions as follows: dividend yield of 0%,
expected life of five years, expected volatility of 107.6% and a risk free
interest rate of 4.44%) as a deferred cost and amortized the deferred cost over
the Forbearance Period. As with the BofA Credit Facility and other related
agreements, the warrant was cancelled pursuant to the Recapitalization.

The Forbearance Agreement also required the Company to hire on or before
June 30, 2001 a new chief operating officer, restricted the repayment of
principal debt to junior lien holders, and to either (i) sell the assets of IFM
or (ii) obtain an agreement from the seller of the IFM product line to defer
all payments under the related promissory note (see below) through the
Termination Date (see Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial
statements included herein). The Company hired a Chief Operating Officer in
April 2001 who was terminated in June 2001, and the Company did not hire a
replacement. The Company sold the assets of the IFM product line as of March
30, 2001 (see Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements
included herein).

On December 15, 2001, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the
Forbearance Agreement under which Bank of America consented to the increase in
payments of $8,000 per month to certain former shareholders of Stepic
Corporation (Stepic) (see Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated

35

##### 



financial statements included herein).

In January 2002, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the
Forbearance Agreement with Bank of America, pursuant to which Bank of America
agreed to extend the Forbearance Period until March 15, 2002 (the Expiration
Date) in order for the Company to consider its strategic alternatives. On
March 15, 2002, the BofA Credit Facility was assigned from Bank of America to
ComVest. On March 16, 2002, the Company issued the Convertible Notes in an
aggregate amount of $15 million to ComVest, Medtronic and the Additional Note
Purchasers. On March 18, 2002, the Company entered into the LaSalle credit
facility.

performance, as well as managements expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or
projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of these laws. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially
from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the
possible inadequacy of the Companys cash flow from operations and cash

the Companys senior credit facility, the satisfaction of which cannot be
objectively determined, the Companys limited manufacturing experience, the
inability to efficiently manufacture different products, the possible failure
to successfully commence the manufacturing of new products, the possible
failure to maintain or increase production volumes of new or existing products
in a timely or cost-effective manner, the possible failure to maintain
compliance with applicable licensing or regulatory requirements, the dependence
on patents, trademarks, licenses and proprietary rights, the Companys
potential exposure to product liability, the inability to introduce new
products, the Companys reliance on a few large customers, the Companys
dependence on key personnel, the fact that the Company is subject to control by
certain shareholders, pricing pressure related to healthcare reform and managed
care and other healthcare provider organizations, the possible failure to
comply with applicable federal, state or foreign laws or regulations,
limitations on third-party reimbursement, the highly competitive and fragmented
nature of the medical devices industry, deterioration in general economic
conditions and the Companys ability to pay its indebtedness.

Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable.
However, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. These
statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of
such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new
information or otherwise. Additional information concerning the risks and
uncertainties listed above, and other factors that you may wish to consider, is

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Companys controls and other
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and
principal financial officer and with the participation of the Companys
management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and principal financial
officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the
Company required to be included in the Companys periodic Securities and
Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made in the Companys
internal controls during the third quarter of 2003 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting.
