ITEM 1.       BUSINESS.
-------       ---------

(A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.

Surgical Laser Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in December 1983 under the
laws of the State of Delaware. Our principal offices are located at 147 Keystone
Drive, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania 18936-9638, and our telephone number is
(215) 619-3600.

We develop, manufacture and sell proprietary laser systems for both contact and
non-contact surgery. We also deliver turn-key surgical services which include
the provision of technicians, capital equipment and disposable and reusable
products for specific surgical procedures. We provide our surgical services
under both contractual agreements and non-contracted arrangements. We charge all
of our surgical services customers for the services we provide on a
per-procedure basis. We also supplement our sales of laser systems and surgical
services with several non-laser product offerings.

Our growth strategy includes a continued emphasis on identifying surgical
procedures that benefit from the precision and hemostatic capabilities of our
proprietary technology coupled with the development and sourcing of products
that provide the opportunity to expand our resources through traditional
advertising channels as well as through the provisions of fee based surgical
services.

In June 2000, we expanded our surgical services offerings through the
acquisition of Surgical Innovations & Services, Inc. ("SIS"). SIS provides
surgical services utilizing a variety of laser technologies to its customer base
located mainly in the southeastern United States. During 2001, we expanded the
SIS geographic territories to include New Orleans, LA, Augusta, GA, Milwaukee,
WI, Washington DC, and Baltimore, MD.

During 2001, we introduced the LaserPro(R) CTH holmium laser, a versatile and
compact holmium laser for primary use in lithotripsy as well as a broad range of
other surgical applications. We also introduced a line of laser delivery systems
to be used with the holmium laser. We began distributing the LaserPro(R) CTH
holmium laser in June 2001 through both traditional sales efforts as well as
through the SIS contract services offerings.

Our Contact Laser(TM) System, unlike conventional laser systems, enables the
surgeon to use the laser instrument in direct contact with the tissue being
treated, thereby significantly enhancing the ease of use and precision of laser
surgery in many applications. Our Contact Laser was the first Contact Laser
surgery system developed for commercial application, and we hold patent rights
on the Wavelength Conversion(TM) effect technology which is the technological
foundation for Contact Laser surgery. We believe that Contact Laser surgery
represents a significant advancement in laser surgery.

Our Contact Laser(TM) System is comprised of a portable laser unit that delivers
laser energy through Contact Laser Delivery Systems. Our current product line
includes 4 portable laser units of various power levels and a family of over 100
Laser Probes, Laser Scalpels, fibers and handpieces that provide different
Wavelength Conversion effect properties, power densities and configurations
appropriate for cutting, coagulation or vaporization.

Our holmium laser system is comprised of a portable laser unit that delivers
laser energy through fiber-optic laser delivery systems, which consist of
flexible bare fibers of varying diameters.


                                       2
<PAGE>

In September, 2001, we entered into an exclusive supply agreement with Linvatec
Corporation of Largo, Florida, whereby we will supply Linvatec with its
requirements of our ClearESS suction-irrigation products for sale worldwide in
ENT surgery. The term of the agreement is through 2004.

There were no other significant changes in our business during the fiscal year
ended December 30, 2001.

(B) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATING  SEGMENTS.

We engage primarily in one operating segment: the design, development and
manufacture of laser products and the marketing of those laser products as well
as other instruments for medical applications. We market our offerings through
traditional sales efforts as well as through the provision of fee based surgical
services. See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for segment
information.

(C)  NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

We primarily engage in the development, manufacture and sale of proprietary
Contact and free-beam Laser Systems for surgery and in the provision of surgical
services on a turn-key procedural basis. Our surgical services offerings were
significantly expanded in June 2000 through the acquisition of SIS. Through the
acquisition of SIS, we have expanded our surgical services offerings, which we
previously limited to proprietary laser systems, to include the products of
several other companies, broadening the scope of procedures to which we can
provide support services. In conjunction with our primary products and services,
we have entered and will continue to seek to enter into relationships with other
companies to expand the use of our products and services, and will continue to
seek to utilize our strengths in supplying other companies with products that
draw on our expertise and competencies. During fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, total
revenues from sales of our products and services were $10,012,000, $8,929,000
and $7,951,000, respectively.

During 2001, we introduced the LaserPro(R)CTH holmium laser, a versatile and
compact holmium laser for lithotripsy as well as a broad range of other surgical
applications. We also introduced a line of fiber-optic laser delivery systems to
be used with the holmium laser.

We introduced Contact Laser surgery by combining proprietary Contact Laser
Delivery Systems with an Nd:YAG laser unit to create a multi-specialty surgical
instrument that can cut, coagulate or vaporize tissue. Our Contact Laser
Delivery Systems can be used effectively with any wavelength of laser between
532nm and 1064nm, including the KTP laser (532nm), diode laser (various
wavelengths) and Nd:YAG laser (1064nm).

Almost all of the surgery performed today, endoscopic or open-cavity, utilizes
two fundamental technologies-mechanical cutting and clamping, and/or thermal
vaporization and coagulation. The mechanical scalpel, scissors and suture are
universally accepted. However, today's surgery increasingly requires additional
control of bleeding, more precision and better access to diseased sites. Lasers
are suited for this requirement.

With the use of our Contact Laser System, a precise temperature profile, or
gradient, is created upon contact with the tissue by our Laser Probes and Laser
Scalpels. It is the temperature that directly causes the therapeutic effect. If
the temperature is sufficiently high, the tissue will be vaporized (turned from
liquid or solid into gas), creating a precise surgical incision or excision.
Lower temperatures coagulate tissue and thus control bleeding or destroy
diseased tissue.

Our proprietary Contact Laser probe and scalpel surface treatments provide the
ability to alter selectively the temperature profile of tissue, replicating the
clinical effect of many different types of lasers. We market these treatments
under the trademark "Wavelength Conversion effect." In addition, Contact Laser
surgery restores to the surgeon the advantages of tactile feedback lost with
conventional lasers.


                                       3
<PAGE>

Our revenues are generated primarily by three sources: the sale of Contact Laser
Delivery Systems and related accessories; the sale of Nd:YAG and CTH holmium
laser units and related service; and the provision of surgical services. Our
Contact Laser Delivery Systems consist of proprietary fiberoptic delivery
systems which deliver the laser beam from our Nd:YAG laser unit via an optical
fiber to the tissue, either directly or through a proprietary Laser Probe or
Laser Scalpel. Our holmium laser delivery systems consist of fiber-optic
delivery systems which deliver the laser beam from our CTH holmium laser unit to
the surgical site.

DISPOSABLE FIBEROPTIC DELIVERY SYSTEMS. We have designed disposable optical
quartz fibers to channel the laser beam from our laser unit to the fiber end,
the Laser Probe or the Laser Scalpel or to one of 24 interchangeable,
application-specific handpieces that hold the Laser Scalpel or Laser Probe. Many
of these proprietary optical fibers and handpieces are intended for single use,
while others are designed to be reusable, and range currently in list price from
$150 to $1,040.

LASER PROBES AND LASER SCALPELS. Our proprietary Laser Probes and Laser Scalpels
are made of either synthetic sapphire or fused silica and have high mechanical
strength, high melting temperature and appropriate thermal conductivity. Most of
these Laser Probes and Laser Scalpels use our patented Wavelength Conversion
effect treatments. We offer more than 60 interchangeable Laser Probes and Laser
Scalpels that provide different power densities through various geometric
configurations appropriate for cutting, coagulation or vaporization. Our Laser
Probes and Laser Scalpels are made with varying distal tip diameters and surface
treatments, each with a different balance between cutting and coagulation, so
that the instrument can be suited to the particular tissue effect desired.
Additionally, we market side-firing and direct-firing free-beam laser probes.
Instead of changing laser units, surgeons may choose a different Laser Probe or
Laser Scalpel to perform a different procedure. The Laser Probes and Laser
Scalpels are intended for limited reuse, and the list prices currently range
from $415 to $545.

DISPOSABLE GAS OR FLUID CARTRIDGE SYSTEMS. Our proprietary cartridge system
provides gas or fluid to cool the junction between the optical fiber and the
Laser Scalpel or the Laser Probe. These cartridges are sterile and used in one
set of procedures. The list price of these cartridges is currently $68.

REUSABLE LASER ASPIRATION HANDPIECES. Our reusable stainless steel handpieces
are all used with interchangeable laser aspiration wands and flexible endoscopic
fibers. These proprietary handpieces are intended for intra-nasal/endoscopic
sinus and oropharyngeal procedures requiring smoke and/or fluid evacuation.
Wands have a list price of $95, and the handpiece list prices currently range
from $235 to $395.

LASER UNITS. We market the CLMD line of Nd:YAG laser units for use with our
Contact Laser Delivery Systems. The line consists of 4 units: the CLMD 25-watts
to tissue, on 110 volts; the CLMD 40-watts to tissue, on 110 volts; the CLMD
Dual which operates up to 40-watts to tissue on 110 volts and up to 60-watts to
tissue on 220 volts; and the CLMD 100-watts to tissue, on 220 volts. The laser
units feature a modular design that allows the customer to upgrade from the
25-watt laser to the 40-watt or Dual laser and from the 40-watt laser to the
Dual laser. This modularity provides the customer the flexibility and
versatility to change its laser system easily to meet its changing surgery
needs. Current list prices for the lasers are as follows: CLMD 25-watts,
110-volts - $55,000; CLMD 40-watts, 110-volts - $70,000; CLMD Dual - $85,000;
and CLMD 100 watts - $95,000. These prices include a one-year warranty.

We market the CTH holmium laser unit for use with fiber-optic laser delivery
systems. The laser unit is 20-watts to tissue, and includes a variable speed
foot pedal for improved control of energy. The current list price for the laser
is $65,000, which includes a one-year warranty.


                                       4
<PAGE>

We manufacture virtually all of our laser systems and laser delivery systems
(other than those manufactured by other companies that are utilized in the
provision of surgical services) at our Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania facility.
The raw materials we use are generally available in adequate supply. We obtain
all of our partially finished Laser Probes and Laser Scalpels from three
suppliers in the United States. We perform materials processing and final
assembly on the Laser Probes and Laser Scalpels using proprietary and patented
treatment processes. We also manufacture the fiberoptic delivery systems, with
and without handpieces. A domestic supplier manufactures our sterile gas and
fluid cartridge systems on an exclusive basis in accordance with our
specifications.

SURGICAL SERVICES. We provide our customers with the ability to utilize our
laser systems, as well as those of other companies, coupled with a technician on
a per-procedure basis. We provide these services for a variety of surgical
procedures utilizing various laser technologies. The per-procedure prices we
charge for surgical services vary based on the surgical procedure performed and
currently range from $100 to $3,500 per-procedure.

HANDHELD SINUS INSTRUMENTATION. We market a line of 27 precision thru-cutting
instruments used for minimally invasive sinus surgery. The line includes
instruments with cutting tips at several different angles to allow for
convenient access to difficult-to-reach anatomy. The instruments' list prices
range from $225 to $975.

IRRIGATION AND SUCTION SYSTEM. We manufacture ClearESS, which provides
convenient and effective irrigation and suction to remove blood and debris for
enhanced visualization during endoscopic sinus surgery. We supply this product
to Linvatec Corporation, which has exclusive worldwide marketing rights.

MARKETING

We sell our products and services to hospitals and surgery centers, and to
individual practitioners. We work closely with our customers to develop and
supply innovative technologies that advance therapeutic benefit. We design our
products and services to improve cost-effectiveness and enhance access to and
ease of use of various technologies. Our marketing efforts include activities
designed to educate physicians and nurses in the use of our products and
services.

Our sales organization provides consultation and assistance to customers on the
effective use of our products. The consultative sales effort varies depending on
many factors, which include the nature of the specialty involved and complexity
of the procedures. Maintaining this consultative effort allows us to develop a
long-term relationship with our customers. The length of the sales cycle for a
laser unit varies from one month to one year, with the average sale requiring
approximately six months. The length of the sales cycle for the provision of
services can range from immediate to several months depending on the services
desired.

Our President and CEO and the President of SIS supervise our sales and marketing
activities. The sale and post-sale support we provide includes region managers
and clinical support specialists and marketing and technical personnel. We train
the region managers and clinical support specialists in the utilization of our
products and services, which allows them to provide clinical consultation
regarding safety, efficacy and operating room procedures. Our marketing and
technology personnel provide our link to the customer to create innovative
solutions and identify new applications and product opportunities. In some areas
of the United States, we use independent distributors, to provide this support.

CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT AND PRIVATE LABEL MANUFACTURING. In the past, we have
augmented our sales to end-user customers by entering into specific contract
development and private label manufacturing agreements with other companies. We
expect to continue pursuing these efforts, which are designed to enhance our
product strengths and capabilities.


                                       5
<PAGE>

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS. Internationally, we distribute our products through
independent distributors. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, we marketed our products
and services through these distributors in Canada and a number of other
countries in Western Europe, the Middle East and the Far East.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

We focus our research and product development efforts on tissue effect
technologies that include laser and non-laser based technologies focused on
improving our product and service offerings. Our technological capabilities are
designed to be responsive to the surgeon's needs. We have the ability to respond
to development requirements in the areas of optical/materials technology, laser
and electrosurgical technology and mechanical and electronics technology. During
2001, 2000, and 1999, we spent $562,000, $651,000 and $741,000, respectively, on
product development.

Our facility in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania houses its product development
activities. In addition to our internal product development programs, we work
closely with medical centers, universities and other companies worldwide in an
effort to develop additional products and applications.

We acquired our core Laser Probe and Laser Scalpel technology in 1985 in
consideration for royalty payments on net sales of probes and scalpels. Our
employees have developed our disposable fiberoptic delivery systems, with and
without handpieces, the disposable gas and fluid cartridge systems,
ceramic-enclosed probes, adjustable touch-control handpieces and ClearESS
irrigation and suction system. An outside consultant developed our handheld
sinus instrument line which a domestic supplier manufactures.

We continue to focus on developing new applications in minimally invasive and
open surgery procedures where precision and hemostasis are critical to the
procedure being performed and where our products and services can demonstrate
distinct clinical advantages and cost-effectiveness relative to traditional
surgical methods.

COMPETITION

We face substantial competition from other manufacturers of surgical systems,
whose identity varies depending on the medical application for which the
surgical system is being used, and from traditional surgical methods. Other
companies are developing competitive surgical systems and related technologies.
Many of these companies are substantially larger and have substantially greater
resources than we do. These efforts could result in additional competitive
pressures on our operations.

In addition, we face competition from other surgical services companies and from
product manufacturers who may offer their products through a similar
per-procedure method.

We face substantial competition from well-established manufacturers of non-laser
products. These well-established companies have substantially greater resources
than we do and could exert considerable competitive pressure on us.

We continue to be aware that some companies have introduced into the market
concepts or products that draw on Contact Laser technology. However, we do not
believe that such concepts or products have a significant impact on our sales.


                                       6
<PAGE>

Through our patented Contact Laser Delivery Systems, we are able to produce a
wide range of temperature gradients which address a broad range of surgical
procedures within multiple specialties. Our multiple specialty capability
reduces a hospital's need to purchase several lasers to meet its specialists'
varied requirements. These factors, coupled with the precision, hemostasis,
tactile feedback and control that our Contact Laser Delivery Systems provide,
are our primary competitive strengths. Our non-laser products employ novel
features to differentiate them in the marketplace by facilitating surgical
procedures. Several of these products have patent applications pending.

Our primary competitive strengths in surgical services are in the training we
provide to our clinical service technicians, our adherence to quality standards
and our ability to integrate products which we manufacture into the range of
services we provide. These strengths allow us to provide multiple specialty
capability on a cost-effective basis, which in turn reduces or eliminates a
hospital's need to purchase laser systems, associated delivery systems and
clinical support to meet its specialists' requirements.

FDA AND RELATED MATTERS

The FDA generally must approve the commercial sale of new medical devices.
Before we can sell medical lasers for commercial use, we generally must file a
pre-market notification pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act, or the FDA must grant pre-market approval for a particular medical
device.

The 510(k) notification filing must contain information that establishes that
the device in question is substantially equivalent to devices on the market. We
have received FDA clearance to commercially market our Contact Laser System,
including the laser unit, Laser Probes and Laser Scalpels and Fiberoptic
Delivery System, in a variety of surgical specialties and procedures in
gynecology, gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology, general and plastic surgery,
cardio-thoracic surgery, ENT surgery, ophthalmology, neurosurgery and head and
neck surgery. The FDA granted these clearances under Section 510(k) on the basis
of substantial equivalence to other laser or electrosurgical cutting devices
that had received prior clearances or were otherwise permitted to be used in
such areas.

We have also received FDA clearance under Section 510(k) to commercially market
our holmium laser system, including the laser unit and fiberoptic delivery
systems, in a variety of surgical specialties and procedures in urology,
otorhinolarynogology, discectomy and percutaneous laser disc decompression.

We market several Class I products that do not require 510(k) clearance or
pre-market approval. These products include certain ENT products, including
handheld surgical instruments and suction/irrigation products.

We anticipate that most of our new products will also be eligible for the
Section 510(k) clearance, although some new products, such as products for which
there are no or few substantially equivalent devices or uses, may be subject to
the lengthier pre-market approval process. We cannot provide any assurance that
the FDA will grant future clearances on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to
obtain FDA clearance or extensive delay in the FDA clearance process for any new
products which represent a significant development for us would likely have a
material adverse effect on our business.

Following FDA clearance for commercial distribution, the primary form of
government regulation of medical products is the Quality System Regulations for
medical devices. These regulations, which the FDA administers, set forth
requirements for the design, manufacture, storage, quality control procedures
and installation of medical products for human use. In addition, there are a
variety of registration and reporting requirements with which we must comply.


                                       7
<PAGE>

We are also subject to the regulations under the Radiation Control for Health
and Safety Act (1968) of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health ("CDRH")
of the FDA. These regulations require laser manufacturers to file new product
and annual reports, to maintain quality control, product testing and sales
records, to incorporate certain design and operating features in lasers sold to
end-users and to certify and label each laser sold as belonging to one of four
classes, based on the level of radiation from the laser that is accessible to
users. Depending on the class of the product we must affix various warning
labels and install specified protective devices. CDRH has the authority to seek
fines and other remedies for violations of the regulatory requirements. To date,
we have filed the documentation with CDRH for our laser products requiring such
filing, and we have not experienced any difficulties or incurred significant
costs in complying with such regulations.

Federal law requires Medicare to establish guidelines for hospital reimbursement
based on patient diagnosis ("Diagnostic Related Group" or "DRG"). Once a
diagnosis is made, the payment to the hospital is fixed irrespective of the
length of the hospital stay, the method of treatment, the supplies used or the
tests carried out. This provides the hospital with an incentive to adopt cost
reduction methods. We believe that the Contact Laser System may reduce costs to
hospitals by reducing length of stay due primarily to the reduced need for
invasive surgery, general anesthesia or related medical treatments.

The FDA and other governmental agencies, both in the United States and in
foreign countries, may adopt additional rules and regulations that may affect
our operations and products.

PATENTS

Our patents offer significant protection to the differentiation of our Contact
Laser Delivery Systems from competitors' products. We have sought and enjoy such
protection principally in the United States. As of December 30, 2001, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office had issued 18 patents to us. These patents generally
expire 17 years from the following respective dates of issuance: September 15,
1987 (laser scalpels); April 12, 1988 (coatings); November 22, 1988 (two-piece
disposable laser delivery system); April 18, 1989 (laser probes and scalpels);
January 23, 1990 (supply system for sterile fluids and gases); January 23, 1990
(two-piece disposable laser delivery system); October 13, 1992 (unitary
scalpel); June 22, 1993 (adjustable touch control hand-piece); January 10, 1995
(contact or insertion laser probe having wide angle radiation); May 16, 1995
(fused tip and fiber); May 28, 1996 (probe with inclusions); March 4, 1997
(surgical tool for use with Contact Laser); September 5, 1998 ( a continuation
of surgical laser tool issued March 4, 1997); November 10, 1998
(laterally-emitting laser devices); August 31, 1999 (method of treating a body
cavity issue using an endoscopic surgical laser); September 28, 1999 (photooptic
breakdown probe); February 15, 2000 (laser catheter); and August 28, 2001
(multifit handpiece ClearESS). We have several other patents pending before the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as other patents and pending
applications overseas.

We intend to continue our policy of defending vigorously the ownership and
protection of our proprietary technology against significant encroachments.
However, we cannot provide any assurance that such policy will be successful.

Many of our products and services are offered under trademarks and service
marks, both registered and unregistered. We believe our trademarks encourage
customer loyalty and aid in the differentiation of our products from
competitors' products. Accordingly, we have registered 7 of our trademarks
with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We have also filed our intent to
register other trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, principally
in areas outside of Contact Laser surgery. We also have other trademark
registrations issued or pending abroad.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 30, 2001, we had 89 employees of whom 52 worked in manufacturing,
service and operations, 7 in research and product development, 16 in sales,
marketing and customer service and 14 in general administration. Our employees
are not represented by a union. We consider our relations with our employees to
be good.

(D)  FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT
     SALES.

In addition to our domestic sales, we currently sell our products
internationally through distributors in Canada, and a number of other countries
in Western Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. During fiscal 2001, 2000
and 1999, domestic sales represented 87%, 89% and 89%, respectively, of our
total sales. All export sales are transacted in U.S. currency.

ITEM 2.        PROPERTIES.
-------        -----------

We lease a 42,000 sq. ft. facility in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania that houses
all of our administrative and manufacturing operations. The term of the lease
runs until July 2006. In addition to this facility, we also lease several
offices throughout the southeastern United States. Our sales representatives use
these offices to perform their sales and training responsibilities. With the
exception of the Tuscaloosa, Alabama office, these offices consist of one-room
offices under various operating leases. The Tuscaloosa, Alabama office is a
5,000 sq. ft. facility with a two year lease term expiring July 2002.

ITEM 3.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
-------        ------------------

In June 1999 Zelda Williams named SIS as an additional defendant in an action in
the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for Sarasota County, Florida. SIS had
provided another manufacturer's laser system which a surgeon used to perform a
procedure on Ms. Williams. SIS had also provided the technician who operated the
laser under the surgeon's direction and supervision. Ms. Williams sued SIS, the
laser manufacturer, the surgeon, his professional association and the hospital,
alleging, among other charges, negligence in the performance of the surgical
procedure. On February 5, 2002, the court granted SIS' motion for summary
judgment, thus resolving the claim against SIS without any liability on SIS'
part. The order granting summary judgment further provided that no party
remaining in the action can present evidence or argument at trial calculated to
assign fault or liability to SIS.

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

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
-------  ----------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
----------------------

ACQUISITION OF SURGICAL INNOVATIONS & SERVICES, INC.

On June 1, 2000, we acquired SIS, a closely held Alabama corporation that
provides surgical services to hospitals and surgery centers in the southeastern
United States. The acquisition of SIS significantly increased our sales presence
in the southeastern United States and expanded our service offerings to include
the provision of other companies' products for various types of surgical
procedures.

We accounted for the acquisition using the purchase accounting method and have
therefore included the results of operation of SIS from June 1, 2000 in the
consolidated financial statements presented in Part II, Item 8, Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data. As consideration for the SIS business, we
paid $300,000 in cash and issued 350,000 shares of Common Stock to the
stockholders of SIS. The purchase price also included approximately $2,702,000
of assumed liabilities, comprised of $2,323,000 in debt obligations and $379,000
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

We allocated the purchase price to acquired assets based on their fair values at
the date of acquisition. We acquired assets valued at $3,193,000, primarily
comprised of the following: $2,763,000 in property and equipment; $260,000 in
accounts receivable; $107,000 in inventory; and $34,000 in other assets. The
property and equipment we acquired included $2,523,000 of lasers used in
providing the SIS rental services to customers. We allocated the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired of approximately
$648,000 to goodwill.

NET SALES

We generate our net sales primarily from three sources: sales of Contact Laser
Delivery Systems and related accessories; sales of Nd:YAG and CTH Holmium Laser
Systems and related maintenance; and the provision of surgical services. We
service the U.S. market predominantly with a direct sales force, while we derive
sales outside the United States through a network of distributors. In fiscal
2001, total net sales of $10,012,000 increased $1,083,000, or 12% from fiscal
2000 sales of $8,929,000. The fiscal 2000 sales increased $978,000, or 12%, from
fiscal 1999 sales of $7,951,000.

Net sales of Contact Laser Delivery Systems and related accessories were
$4,666,000 or 47% of total net sales in fiscal 2001. This represented a decrease
of $617,000 or 12% compared to fiscal 2000 net sales of $5,283,000. The decrease
was due to the lower level of Contact Laser Delivery System sales primarily
within the U.S. markets and a decrease in sales of non-laser disposables. Net
sales of Contact Laser Delivery Systems and related accessories were 59% of
total net sales in fiscal 2000 which represented a decrease of 11% or $627,000
compared to fiscal 1999 net sales of Contact Laser Delivery Systems and related
accessories of $5,910,000. The decrease was due to the lower level of Contact
Laser Delivery System sales primarily within the U.S. Urology market.

Net sales of laser systems and related maintenance, which comprised 14% of total
net sales in fiscal 2001, decreased by 5% from fiscal 2000. The decline was due
to a decrease in the service revenue and U.S. laser sales, offset in part by an
increase in international laser sales. Net sales of laser systems and related
maintenance, which comprised 16% of our net sales in fiscal 2000, increased by
5% from fiscal 1999. This increase was due to an increase in international laser
sales, offset in part by decreases in U.S. laser sales and related service.

We provide per-procedure surgical services for customers which include access to
a laser system and related disposables as well as a technician. Prior to the
acquisition of SIS in June 2000, we offered the use of our proprietary Nd:YAG
laser system in the provision of surgical services. With the acquisition of SIS,



                                       12
<PAGE>

we have acquired several different types of lasers, significantly expanding the
types of surgical procedures that can be performed through our services.
Surgical services revenue was $3,975,000 in fiscal 2001 or 40% of total net
sales. This represented an increase of $1,775,000 compared to fiscal 2000
surgical services revenue of $2,200,000. This increase was the result of a
combination of new surgical service contracts and the acquisition of SIS in June
2000, with there being only seven months of revenue for SIS included in the
fiscal 2000 financial statements. Surgical services revenue in fiscal 2000 was
25% of total net sales. This represented an increase of $1,543,000 compared to
fiscal 1999 and was the result of the SIS acquisition in June 2000.

Our management will continue to invest in identifying surgical procedures that
benefit from the precision and hemostatic capabilities of our proprietary
technology and in the development and sourcing of products that provide the
opportunity to expand our surgical service offerings.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for fiscal 2001 decreased $235,000 or 5% from fiscal 2000. As a
percentage of net sales, gross profit was 47% in fiscal 2001, a decrease from
56% in fiscal 2000. These declines were attributable to two main factors: a
change in sales mix, which had an unfavorable impact in fiscal 2001, and an
increase in surgical service expenses due to the SIS acquisition, including its
geographical expansion in fiscal 2001.

Gross profit for fiscal 2000 increased $412,000 or 9% from fiscal 1999. As a
percentage of net sales, gross profit was 56% in 2000, a decrease from 57% in
fiscal 1999. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales resulted
from lower percentage margins from the acquired SIS business, offset in part by
lower reserves required for laser inventories due to increased production.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for fiscal 2001 were $5,276,000, an increase of $466,000 or
10% as compared to the fiscal 2000 operating expenses. This increase was
primarily attributable to the addition of the operating expenses of SIS as a
result of the acquisition in June 2000.

Operating expenses for fiscal 2000 were $4,810,000, a decrease of $358,000 or 7%
as compared to the fiscal 1999 operating expenses before non-recurring charges.
This decrease was primarily attributable to lower depreciation expense, the
collection of a previously reserved note receivable, and personnel and other
expense reductions implemented during the second quarter of 1999 for the purpose
of bringing expenses more in line with current sales levels. These reductions
were offset, in part, by the incorporation of SIS operating expenses since June
1, 2000.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,714,000 in fiscal 2001,
compared to $4,159,000 in fiscal 2000, an increase of 13%. The comparative
increase was primarily attributable to selling expenses of the acquired SIS
business. Also included in selling, general and administrative expenses for
fiscal 2001 was the recovery of previously reserved notes receivable from former
customers amounting to $125,000. We recorded a similar recovery for a previously
reserved note receivable for fiscal 2000 in the amount of $175,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,159,000 in fiscal 2000,
compared to $4,427,000 in fiscal 1999, a decrease of 6%. The comparative
decrease was due primarily to lower depreciation expense, the collection of the
previously reserved note receivable mentioned above and reductions in personnel
associated expenses enacted during the second quarter of 1999. The lower level
of expenditures was offset, in part, by the incorporation of SIS selling,
general and administrative expenses since June 1, 2000.


                                       13

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Product development costs were $562,000, $651,000 and $741,000 in fiscal 2001,
fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively. The decrease in fiscal 2001 as
compared to fiscal 2000 was due primarily to a decrease in outside consulting
costs for new product development. The decrease in fiscal 2000 as compared to
fiscal 1999 was due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs and related
expenses.

NON-RECURRING CHARGES (INCOME)

In fiscal 1999, we recorded a non-recurring charge of $1,440,000. This
non-recurring charge consisted of $719,000 in charges related to the
discontinuance of certain new product ventures, a $539,000 charge to reserve for
excess inventories and a $182,000 charge for severance and related costs
associated with headcount reductions made in response to the discontinuance of
the new product ventures.

OTHER INCOME

Other income of $194,000 during fiscal 1999 primarily consisted of
facility-related income and expense items. There was no other income in fiscal
2001 and fiscal 2000 due to the sale of our property in Oaks, Pennsylvania on
June 30, 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense of $178,000 in fiscal 2001 was $55,000 or 45% higher compared
to fiscal 2000. This increase was due to interest expense on our outstanding
credit facility obligations, into which we entered concurrent with the
acquisition of SIS in June 2000.

Interest expense of $123,000 in fiscal 2000 was $181,000 or 60% lower compared
to fiscal 1999. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of our
facility in Oaks, Pennsylvania during June 1999, whereby the mortgages on the
facility were assumed by the buyer, and to the maturity of our 8% subordinated
notes in July 1999. These reductions in interest expense were offset in part by
the interest incurred on the assumed SIS debt.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income was $126,000 in fiscal 2001, a decline of $71,000 or 36%
compared to fiscal 2000 interest income of $197,000. Interest income in fiscal
2000 declined by $73,000 or 27% compared to fiscal 1999. The declining levels of
interest income were attributable to the lower levels of cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments, as well as a decline in overall interest rates.

INCOME TAXES

There was no tax provision in fiscal 2001, fiscal 2000 or fiscal 1999 due to the
use of net operating loss carryforwards and to net losses incurred. We expect
that our effective tax rate for 2002 will remain significantly lower than the
statutory rate due to continued availability of net operating loss carryforwards
and tax credit carryforwards for which we have established deferred tax
valuation reserves.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 30, 2001 were
$2,016,000, a decrease of $384,000 over the December 31, 2000 balance of
$2,400,000. We invest our excess cash in high- quality, liquid, short-term
investments.

In fiscal 2001, net cash used in operating activities was $679,000. This
represented primarily an increase in inventories of $1,078,000 offset in part by
a related increase in accounts payable of $475,000. The introduction in fiscal
2001 of our LaserPro(R) CTH holmium laser and higher inventory levels of our
contact Nd:YAG laser system led to increases in laser inventories. The net loss
of $586,000 in fiscal 2001 included $885,000 of non-cash depreciation and
amortization expense.

Net cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2000 reflected an increase in
accounts receivable of $348,000 and an increase in inventories of $300,000, in
each case due to higher sales levels and a reduction in accounts payable of
$500,000. These items more than offset the net income of $241,000 which included
$749,000 of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $36,000 in fiscal 2001 compared to
$958,000 in fiscal 2000. The comparable decrease in cash provided by investing
activities was due principally to a decrease in the sale of short-term
investments. In addition, fiscal 2000 included acquisition costs of SIS expended
in fiscal 2000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $438,000 in fiscal 2001, compared
to net cash used in financing activities of $144,000 in fiscal 2000. The
increase was due to the net advances on the line of credit of $573,000 in fiscal
2001 to partially fund working capital needs.

Our liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding of working capital
needs and debt obligations. At December 30, 2001, we had working capital of $5.8
million compared with working capital of $5.7 million at December 31, 2000. $2
million of this working capital in each of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 was
collateral for the $3 million credit facility. Inventory purchases of laser
systems in fiscal 2001 were high in relation to sales of those systems due to
the introduction of our LaserPro(R) CTH holmium system in June 2001 and to
purchases of our contact Nd:YAG system in excess of the current year's demand.
Inventory purchases in fiscal 2002 are expected to be more commensurate with
expected sales levels.

Concurrent with the SIS acquisition, we obtained a $3 million credit facility
from a bank to replace the term debt of SIS. The credit facility has a
commitment term of three years expiring June 2003, permits deferment of
principal payments until the end of the commitment term, and is secured by our
business assets, including collateralization of $2 million of our cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments. The credit facility has an interest rate
of either the 30, 60, 90 or 180 day floating LIBOR plus 2.25% and is subject to
restrictive covenants and borrowing base certificates. The rate at December 30,
2001 was 4.37%. At December 30, 2001, we exceeded one of three covenants set by
our bank. The bank waived the non-compliance with the covenant at that date and
has reset the covenant to a level with which management expects to be in
compliance during fiscal 2002. At December 30, 2001, we had $2,774,000 in
outstanding obligations and $226,000 of availability under the credit facility.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 of $430,000 are indicative of ongoing
capital requirements, principally in relation to the expansion of the SIS
contract services revenues. The fiscal 2001 financing activities included
capital lease financing totaling $311,000. The fiscal 2002 plan for capital
expenditures anticipates similar lease financing.


                                       15

Our primary sources of funds are our cash flows from operations, our borrowing
capacity under the credit facility and lease financing for capital expenditures.
We believe that, within the range of our current projection, operating cash flow
for fiscal 2002, the available line of credit and lease financing options will
be sufficient to fund operations and/or facilitate our growth plans.

We believe that these factors, along with our current cash position, will be
sufficient to fund operations and meets our commitments for long-term debt (See
Note 8), other commitments and contingencies (see Note 16) and capital
expenditures.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on operations for any
of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2001.

RISK FACTORS

The statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not historical are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including
statements regarding the expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies
regarding the future. Additionally, from time to time, we or our representatives
have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such
forward-looking statements may be included in, but are not limited to, press
releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive
officer or in various filings we make with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These forward-looking statements reflect our views as of the date
they are made with respect to future events and financial performance and are
generally, but not exclusively, identified by the use of such terms as
"intends," "expects," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "anticipates," "should"
and "believes." However, these forward-looking statements are subject to many
uncertainties and risks which could cause our actual results to differ
materially from any future results expressed or implied by such statements.
Additionally, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements.

The risk factors identified in the cautionary statements below could cause
actual results to differ materially from those suggested in these
forward-looking statements. Also, we may, from time to time, set forth
additional risk factors on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. However, the risk factors listed
below or in our future reports are not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from
time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such risk factors,
nor can we assess the impact of all of such risk factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a
prediction of actual results. The cautionary statements below are being made
pursuant to the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). We intend that all forward-looking statements
made, in whatever form, be considered subject to the Act.

CHANGES IN THE U.S. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM MAY CONTINUE TO PRESSURE PROVIDERS TO
REDUCE CAPITAL AND OTHER SPENDING WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE VOLUME OF PRODUCTS OUR
CUSTOMERS PURCHASE. There has been substantial debate in the political arena
related to prospective changes in the U.S. health care system. In addition,
developments in both the public and the private sector have significantly
affected the financing and delivery of health care in the United States,
including the rapid expansion of managed care programs, the reduction of
reimbursements under the capital cost pass through system for the Medicare
program and the implementation of prospective governmental reimbursement
programs based on diagnostic related groups. Cost containment has been a major
element of these developments, which have had a material adverse effect on our
sales of laser units and laser delivery systems over the past several years.
Such changes in the financing and delivery of health care may continue to affect
hospital capital equipment and supplies procurement patterns or dictate which
surgical procedures will be covered by applicable insurance or government funded
or subsidized programs, which could continue to have a material adverse impact
on our revenues. We cannot predict the extent or impact of future legislation or
regulations.


                                       16
<PAGE>

OUR COMPETITION MAY INTRODUCE MORE ADVANCED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR CHARGE LOWER
PRICES THAN WE CHARGE, WHICH COULD REDUCE OUR SALES VOLUMES. We face substantial
competition from conventional surgical methods, from other manufacturers of
surgical lasers and from manufacturers of alternatives to surgical lasers.
Competitive pressure could result in price competition or the introduction of
new products by our competitors, which could have an adverse impact on our unit
volume sales, revenues and results of operations. Our competitors could also
introduce comparable surgical services which could result in price competition
and hamper our projected revenue growth. In addition, we are engaged in an
industry characterized by extensive research efforts. Advances in medical lasers
which improve clinical effectiveness and other discoveries or developments in
either the medical device or drug industry could render our products obsolete
and surgical services uncompetitive. Some of the companies with which we compete
or may compete in the future have or may have more extensive research,
manufacturing and marketing capabilities and significantly greater financial,
technical and personnel resources than we do and may be better positioned to
continue to improve their technology and delivery of surgical services in order
to compete in an evolving industry.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION MAY IMPEDE THE DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING OF NEW OR
EXISTING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Government regulation in the U.S. and other
countries is a significant factor in the development, manufacturing and
marketing of many of our products and in our ongoing research and development
activities. Specifically, medical devices are subject to FDA approval or
clearance before they can be utilized for clinical studies or sold commercially.
The process for obtaining the necessary approvals and compliance with applicable
regulations can be costly and time-consuming. Regulatory review may involve
delays or other actions adversely affecting the marketing and sales of our
products. We have received all of our FDA clearances to date using the procedure
under Section 510(k). We may not be able to continue obtaining applicable
government approvals or successfully comply with such regulations in a timely
and cost-effective manner, if at all. The failure to do so may have an adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operation because of the cost
of such compliance and the potential delay or elimination of sales or products
and services. Further, more stringent regulatory requirements and/or safety and
quality standards may be issued in the future with an adverse effect on our
business. Although we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable
regulations of the FDA, current regulations depend heavily on administrative
interpretation. Future interpretations made by the FDA or other regulatory
bodies, with possible retroactive effect, may vary from current interpretations
and may adversely affect our business.

Our products are similarly subject to regulation by foreign agencies. Typically,
foreign agencies readily allow our products to be sold within their
jurisdictions, based on the fact that our products have secured clearance from
the FDA. However, such foreign bodies may impose different or additional
requirements that may materially hamper our ability to compete in overseas
markets.

IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN PATENT OR OTHER PROTECTION FOR OUR TECHNOLOGY,
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE MARKET. Our
ability to compete effectively with other companies depends, in part, on our
ability to protect and maintain the proprietary nature of our technology. We
hold 18 United States patents, several Japanese patents and a number of
other foreign patents and pending patent applications for our products. We treat
our design and technical data as confidential, and we rely on nondisclosure
safeguards, such as confidentiality agreements, laws protecting trade secrets
and other agreements to protect proprietary information. We have incurred
substantial costs in enforcing our patents against infringement by others and
defending ourself against similar claims of others. Although we have been
successful to date in disputes involving the validity and enforceability of our
patents and in defending ourself against claims by others of patent
infringement, we may not continue to be successful in such matters in the
future, and our patents or other proprietary rights, even if continuing to be
held valid, may not be broad enough in scope to enable us to prevent third
parties from producing products using similar technologies or processes.


                                       17
<PAGE>

As we attempt to broaden our offerings, we may need to license technology from
third parties in order to have competitive offerings. We may not be successful
in obtaining such licenses on terms satisfactory to us, or in obtaining a
license at all. Moreover, third-parties may assert that some of our offerings
have infringed on such third-parties' rights.

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
OR TO ACQUIRE THE RIGHTS TO ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FROM THIRD PARTIES.
We are actively engaged in identifying market needs and in developing products
to satisfy those unmet needs. Such products are not necessarily laser products.
We attempt to validate the existence of such unmet needs as well as the
potential revenues, costs and profits involved in satisfying such needs. There
is a material risk that our competitors may satisfy those needs with more
effective or less expensive products than we are able to offer. There is also a
material risk that our estimates of the economic potential from such unmet needs
may be incomplete or inaccurate, or that the products which we develop to meet
such needs will be untimely introduced or insufficiently effective clinically or
economically to gain market acceptance.

We seek to expand our product offerings through both internal development and
acquisition of products and/or companies. We may not be successful in carrying
out this acquisition strategy. Any acquisition we do make may not be
successfully integrated and may not result in increased revenues and profits.

THE MODIFIED APPROACH TO MARKETING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT WE HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTING MAY NOT INCREASE OUR REVENUES. We are changing our marketing
approach from concentrating purely on product sales to primarily a contract
services approach to generating revenues. While we will continue to sell our
products in the traditional manner, a significant portion of our marketing time
and expense will be aimed at the expansion of our contract services offerings.
Although we believe that this transition will have a long-term positive
financial impact, the actions taken may not provide the intended results, and we
may experience short-term disruptions or an adverse impact of operations during
the transition to this new marketing approach.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED AND MAY NOT CONTINUE TO MEET THE NASDAQ STOCK
MARKET LISTING STANDARDS. Our Common Stock is traded on the SmallCap Market of
the Nasdaq Stock Market. In January 1999, we requested and received Nasdaq's
approval to move the market in which our Common Stock is traded from the Nasdaq
National Market to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, due primarily to our inability to
satisfy the minimum public float requirement for the Nasdaq National Market.
Although our stock price has remained above Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid
requirement since the January 1999 one-for-five reverse split of the Common
Stock the bid price of our Common Stock may not remain above the $1.00 minimum,
and we may not continue to meet the other listing requirements required by the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Surgical Laser Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows of Surgical Laser Technologies, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries for the year ended January 2, 2000. These
financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Surgical
Laser Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended January 2, 2000 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as whole. The schedule included in Item 8 is
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SURGICAL LASER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 30, 2001

NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Surgical Laser Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("SLT"). All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
SLT is engaged primarily in the development, manufacture and sale of proprietary
lasers and delivery systems for both contact and non-contact surgery, and in the
provision of surgical services. SLT's Contact Laser(TM) System is comprised of a
portable laser unit that delivers laser energy through Contact Laser Delivery
Systems. SLT's current manufactured laser product line includes 4 portable
Nd:YAG laser units of various power levels, a portable holmium laser unit, a
family of over 100 laser probes, laser scalpels, fibers and handpieces that
provide different Wavelength Conversion(TM) effect properties, power densities
and configurations appropriate for cutting, coagulation or vaporization. SLT's
surgical services offerings include the provision of its, and other
manufacturers laser systems, and technicians, for various surgical procedures.
SLT product offerings also include certain non-laser based products.

FISCAL YEAR
SLT's fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period ending the Sunday nearest to
December 31. Fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 included 52 weeks.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SLT has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and
presentation of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income
comprises net income and other comprehensive income and its components. Other
comprehensive income consists of the change in the net unrealized gain or loss
on available for sale marketable securities.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND LIQUIDITY
The terms of our line of credit agreement with our bank require that we maintain
$2 million of cash and cash equivalents (including short-term investments) as
collateral for the line of credit. We have been in compliance with this
provision since the inception of the line of credit agreement.

SLT invests its excess cash in highly liquid short-term investments. SLT
considers short-term investments that are purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consisted
of the following at:

SLT's primary sources of funds is its cash flows from operations, its borrowing
capacity under the credit facility and lease financing for capital expenditures.
Management believes that operating cash flow for fiscal year 2002, the available
line of credit and lease financing options will be sufficient to fund operations
and/or facilitate SLT's growth plans.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," SLT has classified its entire portfolio of short-term investments
as available for sale as they are available to take advantage of other
investment opportunities. Securities available for sale are stated at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders' equity as accumulated
other comprehensive income. Dividend and interest income are recognized when
earned and are recorded in interest income. The amortized cost of debt
securities is adjusted for accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization
is also included in interest income. SLT currently invests only in high-quality,
short-term securities in accordance with its investment policy. At December 31,
2000, SLT had $24,000 of net unrealized investment gains, which were included in
accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet. During
2001, the $24,000 of unrealized investment gains were realized and included in
net income (loss) for the year ended December 30, 2001. As of December 30, 2001,
SLT had unrealized gains of $11,000, which were included in accumulated other
comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table represents the estimated cost, fair value and unrealized
gain (loss) breakdown of short-term investments by category:

================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

The entire estimated fair value of short-term investments of $1,519,000 at
December 30, 2001 was due in one year.

PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily 3
to 10 years for demonstration equipment, furniture and office equipment,
automobiles, machinery and equipment, and 30 years for buildings. Leasehold



                                       27
<PAGE>

improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the lease
term. Depreciation expense was $705,000 in 2001, $579,000 in 2000 and $788,000
in 1999. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments to property and
equipment are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to operations as incurred.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
market. Cost is determined at the latest cost for raw materials and at
production cost (materials, labor and indirect manufacturing cost) for
work-in-process and finished goods.

Laser units and laser accessories located at medical facilities for sales
evaluation and demonstration purposes or those units/accessories used for
development and medical training are included in property and equipment under
the caption "demonstration equipment." These units and accessories are being
depreciated over a period of up to 5 years. Laser units utilized in the
provision of surgical services are included in property and equipment under the
caption "machinery and equipment." These units are being depreciated over a
period of up to 10 years.

PATENT COSTS
Costs incurred to obtain or defend patents are capitalized and amortized over
the shorter of their estimated useful lives or eight years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND WARRANTY COSTS
Upon shipment of its product or delivery of a service, SLT records a sale and
accrues the related estimated warranty costs, if any.

DEFERRED SERVICE REVENUE
Revenue under maintenance agreements is deferred and recognized over the term
(primarily 1 to 2 years) of the agreements on a straight-line basis.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Costs of research, new product and development and product redesign are charged
to expense as incurred.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Pursuant to SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," SLT is required to evaluate the
impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets on a
periodic basis. SLT reviews the realizability of its long-lived assets and other
intangibles by analyzing the projected undiscounted cash flows and adjusts the
net book value of the recorded assets to their realizable value when necessary.
No such adjustments were recorded in 2001, 2000 or 1999.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible
Assets". SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after
June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after


                                       28
<PAGE>

December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill
and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date
of SFAS No. 142. Major provisions of these Statements and their effective dates
for SLT are as follows:

o    all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the
     purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of accounting
     is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001.

o    intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded
     separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal
     rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold,
     transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part
     of a related contract, asset or liability.

o    goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired
     after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective January 1, 2002, all
     previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
     will no longer be subject to amortization.

o    effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
     lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an
     impairment indicator.

o    all acquired  goodwill  must be assigned to reporting  units for  purposes
     of  impairment  testing and segment reporting.

SLT continued to amortize goodwill recognized prior to July 1, 2001 under its
current method until January 1, 2002, after which annual and quarterly goodwill
amortization of $32,000 and $8,000 was no longer recognized. By June 30, 2002,
SLT will have completed a transitional, fair-value-based impairment test of
goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Impairment losses, if any, resulting from the
transitional testing will be recognized in 2002, as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle.

NOTE 2
ACQUISITION OF SURGICAL INNOVATIONS & SERVICES, INC:

On June 1, 2000, SLT acquired Surgical Innovations & Services, Inc. ("SIS"), a
closely held Alabama corporation that provides surgical services primarily to
hospitals and surgery centers in the southeastern United States. Under the
acquisition agreement, the SIS stockholders received 350,000 shares of SLT's
common stock and $300,000 in cash. SLT accounted for the acquisition using the
purchase method. The purchase price also included approximately $2,702,000 of
assumed liabilities. The purchase price has been allocated to acquired assets,
which included approximately $2,763,000 of property and equipment, based on
their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. This allocation has
resulted in acquired goodwill of approximately $648,000, which has been
amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years. Amortization expense was
$32,000 in 2001 and $16,000 in 2000.

For the years ended December 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000,
SLT has reported earnings per share on the face of the income statement. On
December 30, 2001, SLT had common stock options and warrants outstanding of
604,000. Due to the net loss in 2001, the inclusion of these common share
equivalents had an anti-dilutive effect when calculating diluted EPS and, as a
result, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. On December 31, 2000,
SLT had common stock options and warrants outstanding of 515,000, of which
343,000 were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their exercise
price was above the 2000 average closing stock price of SLT's common stock. SLT
had common stock options and warrants outstanding at January 2, 2000 of 399,000.
Due to SLT's net loss position in 1999, the inclusion of these common share
equivalents had an anti-dilutive effect when calculating diluted EPS and, as a
result, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.

Concurrent with the SIS acquisition, SLT obtained a $3 million credit facility
from a bank to replace the term debt of SIS. The credit facility has a
commitment term of three years, expiring June 2003, permits deferment of
principal payments until the end of the commitment term, and is secured by SLT's
business assets, including collateralization of $2 million of SLT's cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments. The credit facility has an interest
rate of either the 30, 60, 90 or 180 day LIBOR plus 2.25% and is subject to
certain restrictive covenants and borrowing base certificates. The rate at
December 30, 2001 was 4.37%. At December 30, 2001, SLT exceeded one of three
covenants set by its bank. The bank waived the non-compliance with the covenant
at that date and has reset the covenant to a level with which management expects
to be in compliance during 2002. At December 30, 2001, SLT had $2,774,000 in
outstanding obligations and with $226,000 of availability under the credit
facility.

At December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the estimated fair value of
long-term debt described above was approximately the same as the carrying amount
of such debt.

The obligations under capital leases are at fixed interest rates ranging from 1%
to 11% and are collateralized by the related property and equipment (see Note
5).

Future minimum payments for property under capital leases are as follows (in
thousands of dollars):

NOTE 9
COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND COMMON STOCK WARRANTS:

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS:
Under SLT's 1990 and 2000 Equity Incentive Plans and Second Amended and Restated
Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "Option Plans"), an aggregate of
586,990 shares of common stock were issued or are issuable pursuant to options
that could be granted to certain officers, directors, key employees and others.
Options under all plans expire no more than 10 years from the date of grant and
have varying vesting schedules.

In May 2000, the 1990 Equity Incentive Plan and Second Amended and Restated
Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors expired by their terms with respect to
any future grants. At December 30, 2001, the 1990 Equity Incentive Plan had
286,290 options outstanding and the Second Amended and Restated Stock Option
Plan for Outside Directors had 50,700 options outstanding. In July 2000, the
2000 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at SLT's Annual
Meeting held July 19, 2000. The 2000 Equity Incentive Plan had 176,600 options
outstanding and another 73,400 options available for grant at December 30, 2001.

SLT accounts for the Option Plans under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no
compensation cost has been recognized for options issued to employees and
outside directors, except as set forth below. Had compensation cost for the
Option Plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," SLT's net loss would have increased by approximately
$112,000 or $0.05 per share for the year ended December 30, 2001. SLT's net
income and net income per share would have been reduced by $124,000 and $0.06,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2000. SLT's net loss and net loss
per share would have increased by $52,000 and $0.03, respectively, for the year
ended January 2, 2000.


                                       32

The per share fair value of options granted during the years ended December 30,
2001, December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000, was estimated at $0.76, $1.41 and
$0.81, respectively. During 2000 SLT issued 65,400 options that were below the
fair market value at the time of grant. This difference is being amortized, as
compensation expense, on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting
period. For the year ended December 30, 2001, SLT has recorded $9,000 of
compensation expense. There were no other options granted below market or above
market during the three years. The fair value of each option grant was estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.91%, 6.54%
and 5.56% for 2001, 2000 and 1999 grants, respectively; an expected life of five
years; dividend yield of zero for all grants; and volatility of 53.4%, 59.4% and
50.6% for 2001, 2000 and 1999 grants, respectively. Because the SFAS No. 123
method of accounting is not required to be applied to options granted prior to
January 2, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation charge may not be
representative of that which may be expected in future years.

The following table summarizes the transactions in SLT's Option Plans for the
three year period ended December 30, 2001:

COMMON STOCK WARRANTS:

In July 1997, SLT entered into an agreement to develop and supply certain
laser-related devices. In connection with this agreement, SLT issued a warrant
to purchase 40,000 shares of SLT's common stock with an exercise price of $10.00
per share. In December 1997, SLT issued an additional warrant to purchase 40,000
shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10.00 per share. Both warrants
will expire on December 31, 2002. SLT recorded the $171,000 value of these
warrants as an increase to additional paid-in capital and an offset to revenue
earned under the agreement. At December 30, 2001, 80,000 warrants were
exercisable for an exercise price of $10.00 per share.

In July 1997, SLT entered into an agreement to purchase, among other things,
certain hand-held instruments used in ENT surgery. SLT issued warrants to
purchase 10,000 shares of SLT's Common Stock with an exercise price of $7.65 per
share. The warrants will expire on October 18, 2002. At December 30, 2001,
10,000 warrants were exercisable for an exercise price of $7.65 per share.

NOTE 10
NON-RECURRING ITEMS:

In 1999, SLT recorded a non-recurring charge of $1,440,000. This non-recurring
charge consisted of $719,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of certain
new product ventures, a $539,000 charge to reserve for excess inventories and a
$182,000 charge for severance and related costs associated with headcount
reductions made in response to the discontinuance of the new product ventures.

NOTE 11
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN:

SLT has a defined contribution retirement plan that provides all eligible
employees an opportunity to accumulate funds for their retirement. The plan is
qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and provides for
discretionary matching contributions by SLT of 50% of pretax contributions by an
employee, up to a maximum of 3% of the employee's compensation. At the time SLT
acquired SIS, SIS maintained a Simple IRA, for which SLT provided a
discretionary match to the Simple IRA of 100% of the first 3% of employee's
salary subsequent to the acquisition. Contributions to the Simple IRA ceased on
December 31, 2000, at which time SIS employees were eligible to participate in
SLT's defined contribution plan. SLT made $46,000 and $39,000 in discretionary
matching contributions in 2001 and 2000, respectively. SLT did not make matching
contributions in 1999.

NOTE 12
INCOME TAXES:

SLT accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." SFAS No. 109 is an asset-and-liability approach that requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in SLT's consolidated financial
statements or tax returns.

SLT recorded no provision for income taxes in 2001, 2000 or 1999 due to losses
incurred and the availability of net operating loss carryforwards to apply
against income. Any other provisions, including accrual adjustments for prior
periods, were completely offset by changes in the deferred tax valuation
allowance, primarily due to the utilization of operating loss carryforwards.

</TABLE>

As of December 30, 2001, SLT had approximately $25,295,000 of federal net
operating loss carryforwards, which began to expire in 2001. Included in the
aggregate net operating loss carryforward are $4,385,000 of tax deductions
related to equity transactions, the benefit of which will be credited to
stockholders' equity, if and when realized against taxes not reducible by other
deductions. Also included in the aggregate net operating loss carryforward are
approximately $527,000 of losses sustained by SIS prior to the tax-free merger
on June 1, 2000; these losses are subject to certain Federal use limitations
arising from the merger. In addition, SLT had approximately $971,000 of federal
tax credit carryforwards. The credit carryforwards began to expire in 1999 and
have continued to expire thereafter. Net deductible, or favorable, temporary
differences were approximately $2,891,000 at December 30, 2001. This balance
reflects the addition of unfavorable temporary differences generated by SIS
prior to the merger.

As a result of the acquisition of SIS during 2000, SLT acquired a net deferred
tax liability of $320,000.

The average federal and state income tax rate (net of federal benefit) used to
value operating loss carryforwards is 35%, due principally to more stringent
usage requirements for loss carryforwards in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

ITEM 11.       EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
--------       ----------------------

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
---------------------

Each of our directors who is not one of our officers or employees (an "Outside
Director") receives an annual retainer of $15,000 and a fee of $500 for each
committee meeting attended other than meetings held in conjunction with meetings
of the Board of Directors.

We also maintain the Second Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan for Outside
Directors (the "Outside Director Plan") and the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"2000 Plan"). The Outside Director Plan expired in May 2000 with respect to
future grants. At its expiration, the Outside Director Plan had 50,700 options
outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the 2000 Plan, each person who is or
becomes an Outside Director is entitled to receive nonqualified options
("Director Options"). Individuals who first become Outside Directors after
adoption of the Plan will receive Options to purchase 10,000 shares on the 15th
day after first being elected to the Board, with the number increasing to 15,000
if the individual is elected to serve as Chairman. Each Outside Director is also
entitled to receive Options to purchase 10,000 shares upon completion of three
years of service since the most recent grant of options under the 2000 Plan or
under our Outside Director Plan, with the number increasing to 15,000 if the
Outside Director has served as Chairman during the three-year period. The
exercise price for all Director Options is 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant. Director Options are exercisable in three
equal consecutive annual installments commencing one year from the date of
grant, but all Director Options become immediately exercisable upon the
consummation of any business combination transaction involving the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets to, or the acquisition of shares our Common
Stock representing more that 50% of the votes which all of our stockholders are
entitled to cast by, any person who is not one of our affiliates prior to the
transaction. Director Options terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (a) ten
years from the grant date; (b) one year after the Outside Director's death if
such death occurs while the optionee is an Outside Director or within the
three-month or three-year period specified in the next two clauses; (c) three
months after the optionee ceases to serve as an Outside Director for any reason
other than death or disability, except as noted in clause (b) above; or (d)
three years after the optionee ceases to serve as an Outside Director due to
disability, except as noted in clause (b) above.

We have reserved an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance
under the 2000 Plan. There are outstanding options issued to Outside Directors
to purchase 110,700 of these shares.

EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

We have entered into an employment agreement with Michael R. Stewart under which
he serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer for successive one-year
terms expiring December 31 of each year absent at least three months' prior
written notice of termination by either party. Mr. Stewart's minimum annual base
salary under the agreement is $185,000 and the agreement provides that he will
be eligible for a bonus of 50% of base salary pursuant to bonus programs
developed by the Board of Directors based on objective criteria related to our
results of operations. Mr. Stewart did not receive any bonus under the 2001
bonus program. If we terminate Mr. Stewart's employment without cause during the
term of the agreement (other than following a change in control as described
below), Mr. Stewart will be entitled to severance benefits equal to continuation
of his base salary, health, disability and life insurance for a one-year period
and the right to exercise options which are not then exercisable for a period
equal to the lesser of the original term of such options or an extended exercise
period, which is one year from the date of termination for all options granted
after 1996 and five years from the date of termination for all options granted
before 1997. If we terminate Mr. Stewart's employment without cause within two
years following a change in control or if he resigns his employment within two
years after a change in control following (a) the relocation of his principal
business location by more than 35 miles, (b) a significant reduction in his
duties and responsibilities from those existing prior to the change in control
or (c) a reduction in his then-current base salary, Mr. Stewart will be entitled
to severance benefits equal to continuation of his base salary and his health,
disability and life insurance for a one year period and the right to exercise
any options granted under the agreement which are not otherwise exercisable for
a period equal to the lesser of the original term of such options or an extended
exercise period, which is one year from the date of termination for all options
granted after 1996 and five years from the date of termination for all options
granted before 1997. As part of the original agreement in October 1999, we
granted Mr. Stewart options to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at the
market price. We provide long-term disability insurance equal to 60% of Mr.
Stewart's base salary, a $1 million life insurance policy and automobile,
vacation and other insurance benefits as are available to our other senior
executive officers. During the term of the agreement and for a period of one
year thereafter, Mr. Stewart cannot compete with us in any respect, interfere
with our business relationships or solicit business from our customers.

We have a severance benefits program for specified key employees, including
Messrs. Woodward and Crutchfield. Under the terms of this program, if we
terminate a participant's employment other than for cause and other than
following a change in control, the participant is entitled to continue receiving
his then-current base salary and coverage under the medical, dental,
supplemental life and supplemental disability insurance policies, if any, we are
providing at the time of termination for a specified period, with the obligation



                                       44
<PAGE>

to provide such insurance coverage terminating in the event the participant
obtains substantially the same coverage from a new employer. Mr. Woodward and
Mr. Crutchfield are entitled to continue receiving such base salary and
insurance coverage for a period of one year under the foregoing circumstances.
In addition, if, within two years following a change in control, a participant's
employment is terminated without cause or the participant resigns following (a)
the relocation of his principal business location, (b) a significant reduction
in the duties or responsibilities from those existing prior to the change in
control, or (c) a reduction in his then-current base salary, then, in any such
event, the participant is also entitled to continue receiving his then-current
base salary and coverage under the aforementioned insurance program (subject to
the restriction described above) for a specified period. Mr. Woodward is
entitled to continue receiving his respective base salary for a period of 12
months under such circumstances. In addition, under such circumstances, Mr.
Woodward is also entitled to continue receiving the aforementioned insurance
coverages for a period of 12 months, and all unvested options which he holds
become exercisable in full and all outstanding options remain exercisable for
the lesser of the remaining scheduled term thereof or an extended exercise
period, which is one year for options granted after December 1996 and five years
for options granted before January 1997.
