|Palomar Medical
Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1           Basis of presentation



The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
information. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the
audited balance sheet at that date; however, the accompanying financial statements do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The results of operations
for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of expected
results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. We believe that the
quarterly information presented includes all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006.


Note 2 
Stock-based compensation


In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment(SFAS
123(R)). SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the
approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS
123(R) requires share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date
of grant. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.


On
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified-prospective method as
permitted under SFAS 123(R). Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in
2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to but not yet
vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123. In accordance with the modified-prospective method of
adoption, our results of operations and financial position for prior periods have not been
restated.


Our
income before taxes and net income were $1,400 lower and $14,000 higher for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 and $167,000 and $342,000 lower for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of stock-based compensation expense due to the
adoption of SFAS 123(R). The compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007
and compensation benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 had no effect on basic and
diluted earnings per share while the compensation expense for the corresponding periods in
2006 reduced both basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 and $0.02, respectively.
As of June 30, 2007, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested
market-based share awards.


There
were no options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

|We
granted 1,440,000 performance based options in 2004 to employees and directors with
exercise prices equal to fair market value on the date of grant of $16.53, and which
expire ten years from the date of grant. 815,000 of these options vest upon Gillette making a "Launch
Decision" (January 5, 2008), and the remaining 625,000 of these options vest twelve months
after the Launch Decision (January 5, 2009). If made, the Launch Decision would indicate Gillette's decision to continue commercialization of
a patented home-use, light based hair removal device for women pursuant to our Amended and
Restated Development and License Agreement with them, executed February 14, 2007, and
effective as of February 14, 2003. As of June 30, 2007, 1,365,000 of the 1,440,000
performance based options are outstanding, consisting of 775,000 that will vest upon the
Launch Decision, if made, and 590,000 that will vest twelve months after the Launch Decision. We
will incur a stock-based payment expense upon the vesting of these performance based
options of approximately $6,836,000 upon the Launch Decision and $5,204,000 twelve months
after the Launch Decision.


Prior
to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we presented all tax benefits of deductions from the
exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS
123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax
deductions in excess of compensation cost recognized for those options to be classified as
financing cash flows with a corresponding reduction to operating cash flows.

|Note 5  Warranty
costs


We
typically offer a one-year warranty for all of our base units. We provide for the
estimated cost of product warranties at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors
that affect our warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and
anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. We assess the adequacy of
the warranty provision and we may adjust this provision if necessary.

Basic
net income per share was determined by dividing net income by the weighted average common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share was determined by
dividing net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted
average shares reflect the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock options and warrants
based on the treasury stock method.

Arrangements with Massachusetts General Hospital


Under
the terms of a research agreement with the Massachusetts General Hospital Corporation,
Massachusetts General Hospital conducts clinical and non-clinical research in the field of
photo thermal removal or reduction of hair, using light (hereinafter referred to as
hair removal). The Research Agreement has a term of three years, until August
2007, and we have provided Massachusetts General Hospital at least $230,000 on an annual
basis to cover the direct and indirect costs of the research. We have the right to
exclusively license, on royalty terms to be negotiated, Palomar-funded inventions that are
discovered during this research.


We
are a party to a license agreement, as amended, with Massachusetts General Hospital
whereby we are obligated to pay royalties to Massachusetts General Hospital on the sale of
certain products as well as 40% of royalties received from third parties. During the three
months ended March 31, 2006, the license was amended resulting in approximately $762,000
reduction in accrued royalties. The reduction in accrued royalties was recorded as a
reduction in cost of product revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Note 9 
Development and License Agreement with Gillette


Effective
as of February 14, 2003, we entered into a Development and License Agreement (the
Agreement) with Gillette to complete the development and commercialize a
home-use, light based hair removal device for women. In October 2005, Procter & Gamble
Company (NYSE: PG) completed its acquisition of Gillette. Under the Agreement, Procter
& Gamble, as the acquiring party, assumed all of Gillettes rights and
obligations. The agreement provided for up to $7 million in support of research and
development to be paid by Gillette over approximately 30 months. Effective as of June 28,
2004, we completed the initial phase of the agreement and both parties decided to move
onto the next phase. Accompanying this decision, we amended the original agreement,
whereby, Gillette provided $2.1 million in additional development funding to further
technical innovations over a 9-month extension of the development phase, which was
completed on August 31, 2006 (the Development Phase).


On
September 29, 2006, in response to a first decision point in the Agreement, Gillette
decided to continue with the project. On December 8, 2006, over-the-counter clearance was
obtained from the United States Food and Drug Administration for the device and per the
Agreement, Gillette was obligated to make a development completion payment to us of $2.5
million, which was paid on December 26, 2006. The $2.5 million payment will be recorded as
revenue over a 12 month period, as we are obligated to perform additional services to
Gillette during that period in consideration for this payment.


Gillette
will conduct approximately 12 months of commercial assessment tests with respect to the
device. Based on the commercial assessment tests, Gillette will then decide by January 5,
2008 whether or not to continue with the project (the Launch Decision). Upon deciding to
continue, Gillette will be obligated to make a development completion payment to us of $10
million. If Gillette decides not to continue to commercialize the device, we may proceed
to commercialize the device on our own or with a different party.


Commencing
12 months after the $10 million development completion payment, Gillette will be obligated
to pay us annual collaboration payments of $10 million for as long as Gillette elects to
have us work exclusively with Gillette.


After
launch of the first device for females, Gillette will pay us a percentage of net sales of
the device, subject in certain instances to various reductions and offsets. Again, for as
long as Gillette elects to have us work exclusively with Gillette, Gillette will continue
to be obligated to pay us annual collaboration payments of $10 million, which will be
offset against the net sales percentage payments.


In
addition to the amounts to be paid by Gillette in connection with jointly developed
products, Gillette is required to make certain lump sum and net sales based payments to us
in the event that Gillette launches independent light based female hair removal products.
Gillette also receives the right to enter into a separate agreement with us for the
development and commercialization of home-use, light based hair removal devices for men.


On
February 21, 2007, we announced an amendment to our agreement with Gillette to include the
development and commercialization of an additional light based hair removal device for
home use, and we also announced that we had executed an amended and restated joint
development agreement to incorporate other prior amendments and several new amendments to
allow for more open collaboration through commercialization. With regard to the additional
light based hair removal device for home use, we will complete certain development
activities in consultation with Gillette during an eleven month program, scheduled to end
by January 13, 2008. Gillette will provide us with $1.2 million and an additional $300,000
upon the completion of certain deliverables to be recognized over an eleven month period
as costs are incurred and services are provided.


For
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $1.2 million and $150,000 of
funded product development revenues from Gillette, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $2.1 million and $850,000 of funded product
development revenues from Gillette, respectively. As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, $1.8
million and $550,000, respectively, of advance payments received from Gillette for which
services were not yet provided were included in deferred revenue.

Note 10  Joint
Development and License Agreement with Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc.


Effective
as of September 1, 2004, we entered into a Joint Development and License Agreement with
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. to develop and commercialize home-use,
light based devices in the fields of (i) reducing or reshaping body fat including
cellulite; (ii) reducing appearance of skin aging; and (iii) reducing or preventing acne.
Under the agreement, Johnson & Johnson funds our research and clinical studies during
an initial proof-of-principle phase. At the end of the proof-of-principle phase, Johnson
& Johnson will decide whether or not to continue with one or more of the devices in
one or more of the fields into a development phase. If Johnson & Johnson decides to
continue, Johnson & Johnson will be obligated to fund the development of the selected
devices.  If Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. decides not to continue,
we may proceed in fields not selected by Johnson & Johnson to develop and
commercialize these and other devices on our own or with a different party.


At
the end of the development phase, Johnson & Johnson will decide whether or not to
commercialize one or more of the devices in one or more fields. If Johnson & Johnson
decides to commercialize one or more of the devices, Johnson & Johnson will make
payments to us for each selected field. Upon commercial launch of the first device in each
selected field, Johnson & Johnson will make a payment to us, and for all devices sold
for use in each selected field, Johnson & Johnson shall pay us a percentage of sales
of such devices and certain topical compounds. If Johnson & Johnson decides not to
commercialize or fails to launch a device, we may proceed in fields not selected by
Johnson & Johnson to develop and commercialize these and other devices on our own or
with a different party.



For
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $1.2 million and $375,000,
respectively, of funded product development revenues from Johnson & Johnson. For six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $1.5 million and $750,000,
respectively, of funded product development revenues from Johnson & Johnson. As of
June 30, 2007 and 2006, $340,000 of advance payments received
from Johnson & Johnson for which services were not yet provided were included in
deferred revenue.


Note 11  Research
contract with the United States Department of the Army


In
the first quarter of 2004, we began providing services under a $2.5 million research
contract with the United States Department of the Army to develop a light based
self-treatment device for Pseudofolliculitis Barbae or PFB. On October 25, 2005, we
announced that we had been awarded additional funding of $888,000 for a total of $3.4
million and a twelve month extension. On September 1, 2006, we were awarded additional
funding of $440,000 for a total of $3.8 million and an additional five month extension
until April 30, 2007. On February 26, 2007, the contract was extended for an additional
five month extension until September 30, 2007. The contract is a cost plus fee arrangement
whereby we are reimbursed for the expenses incurred in connection with PFB research plus
an 8% fee. Our revenue from the contract is subject to government audit.


For
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized approximately $34,000 and
$363,000, respectively, of funded product development revenues under this agreement,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized approximately
$250,000 and $707,000, respectively, of funded product development revenues under this
agreement.


Note 12 
Settlement of Cutera Litigation


On
June 5, 2006, we announced the resolution of our patent infringement lawsuits against
Cutera, Inc. through the execution of a Settlement Agreement and a Non-Exclusive Patent
License Agreement. Under the License Agreement, we granted Cutera a non-exclusive, royalty
bearing license to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,735,844 and 5,595,568 and all corresponding foreign
patents and patent applications in the professional field, excluding the consumer field
which is exclusively licensed to the Gillette Company. Cutera admitted that their products
infringe these patents and that these patents are valid and enforceable. In addition,
Cutera agreed not to challenge the infringement, validity and enforceability of these
patents in the future. Cutera paid us $22 million as an estimated payment for royalties on
past sales of their laser and lamp-based hair removal systems beginning with their initial
sales in 2000 through March 31, 2006, interest and reimbursement of our legal costs.
Cutera subsequently informed us that they believed the actual liability for past
royalties, interest and legal costs was $19.6 million, versus the actual payment of $22
million. We recorded the difference of $2.4 million as deferred revenue at June 30, 2006
to be applied against future amounts owed. The final amounts due were subject to an audit
by an independent accounting firm which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2006,
resulting in an additional $648,000 of royalty and interest. Under our license agreement
with the Massachusetts General Hospital, we pay to the Massachusetts General Hospital 40%
of all royalty and interest payments from Cutera. In connection with the settlement,
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded $13.6 million of royalty
revenue and $5.4 million in cost of royalties. We also recorded, net of amounts owed to
the General Hospital, $3.8 million as a reduction in general and administrative expense
and $1.2 million in interest income. Starting on April 1, 2006, Cutera began paying us a
royalty on sales of its existing light based hair removal systems, and Cutera will pay us
a royalty on sales of its later developed light-based hair removal systems.

11






For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $934,000 and $2.2 million,
respectively, of royalty revenues from Cutera. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2006, we recognized $13.6 million of back-owed royalty revenues from the Cutera
settlement.


For
more information, please see the Settlement Agreement, the Non-Exclusive Patent License
Agreement, the Consent Judgments and Stipulations of Dismissal filed as Exhibits 99.1,
99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2006.


Note 13 
Laserscope Agreement


On
October 18, 2006, we entered into a new Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement with
Laserscope and terminated the prior license agreement. Under the Patent License Agreement,
we granted Laserscope a non-exclusive, royalty bearing license to U.S. Patent Nos.
5,735,844 and 5,595,568 and all corresponding foreign patents and patent applications in
the professional field, excluding the consumer field which is exclusively licensed to the
Gillette Company. Under the new license agreement, Laserscope will pay us a royalty on
sales of its current light based hair removal products, including the Lyra and Gemini
Laser Systems and the Solis IPL System, as well as on sales of new light based hair
removal systems developed in the future.


As
a result of a royalty audit of Laserscopes product sales from January 1, 2001
through June 30, 2006, there was an increase in the third quarter of 2006 royalty revenue
of $2.2 million for back-owed royalties, cost of royalty revenue of $864,000 and net
income of $1.3 million.


American
Medical Systems Holdings, Inc. acquired Laserscope in July of 2006 and subsequently sold
the assets of Laserscopes aesthetic division to Iridex Corporation, effective in the
first quarter of 2007. As a result, the license agreement between Palomar and Laserscope
has been assigned to Iridex. Iridex has assumed all of Laserscopes rights and
obligations under the license agreement.


For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $82,000 and $346,000 of
royalty revenues from Laserscope, respectively. For the three and six months ended June
30, 2006, we recognized $163,000 and $349,000 of royalty revenues from Laserscope,
respectively.


For
more information, please see the Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement filed as Exhibit
99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 26, 2006.


Note 14  Cynosure


On
November 7, 2006, we announced the execution of a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement
with Cynosure, Inc. Under this Agreement, we granted to Cynosure a non-exclusive, royalty
bearing license to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,735,844 and 5,595,568 and all corresponding foreign
patents and patent applications in the professional field, excluding the consumer field
which is exclusively licensed to the Gillette Company. In return, Cynosure granted us a
non-royalty bearing (fully paid up), non-exclusive license to eight Cynosure patents and
patent applications, including counterparts. Cynosure also paid us $10 million on November
7, 2006 as a royalty on sales of their laser and lamp-based hair removal systems made
before October 1, 2006. Beginning October 1, 2006, Cynosure will pay us a royalty on sales
of light based hair removal systems as well as future developed hair removal systems.







12


For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $628,000 and $1.3 million
respectively, of royalty revenues from Cynosure.


For
more information, please see the Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement filed as Exhibit
99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 7, 2006.


Note 15  Alma
Agreement


On
April 2, 2007, we announced the resolution of our patent infringement and trade dress
lawsuit against Alma Lasers, Inc. through the execution of a Settlement Agreement, a
Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement and a Trade Dress Settlement Agreement. Under the
Patent License Agreement, we granted Alma a non-exclusive, royalty bearing license to U.S.
Patent Nos. 5,735,844 and 5,595,568 and all corresponding foreign patents and patent
applications in the professional field, excluding the consumer field which is exclusively
licensed to the Gillette Company.Alma admitted that their products infringe these
patents and that these patents are valid and enforceable. In addition, Alma agreed not to
challenge the infringement, validity and enforceability of these patents in the future.
Alma will pay for royalties and interest due on past sales of their laser and lamp-based
hair removal systems beginning with their initial sales in 2003 and a trade dress fee plus
interest on past sales of their Harmony and Aria systems. The amounts due to us will be
determined based on an audit by an independent accounting firm which is scheduled to be
completed during the third quarter. Once the amount of royalties to be received is
determinable, we will record this royalty revenue. Under our license agreement with the
General Hospital Corporation, we pay to the General Hospital Corporation 40% of all patent
royalty and interest payments from Alma. Beginning March 30, 2007, Alma will pay us a
royalty on future sales of its existing and any new light based hair removal systems later
developed.


For
more information, please see the Settlement Agreement, the Non-Exclusive Patent License
Agreement, the Trade Dress Settlement Agreement, the Consent Judgments and Stipulations of
Dismissal filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 to our Current Report on Form
8-K filed on April 2, 2007.


Note 16  Income
Taxes


We
adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the
implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment in the liability for
unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, we had $2.8
million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if
recognized. At June 30, 2007, we have $2.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits.


We
recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
As of June 30, 2007, we had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.


The
tax years 2003-2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which
we are subject. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and
various state and foreign jurisdictions.


Our
effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 38% and 4%,
respectively.  The primary components of this provision, in 2006, were minimum
federal and state taxes. However, our cash tax liabilities were partially offset with the
tax benefit from the exercise of stock options and net operating losses (NOL). In 2007,
our effective tax rate is the combined federal and state statutory rates.


Our
deferred tax assets represent the tax effects of net operating loss carryforwards, tax
credit carryforwards and temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in
future years if we have taxable income. A valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets
to estimated realizable value, based on estimates and certain tax planning strategies. The
carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that it is more likely than not that
we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions
to realize the net carrying value. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly and is
maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of the
valuation allowance based upon current and preceding years results of operations and
anticipated profit levels in future years. If these estimates and related assumptions
change in the future, we may be required to adjust our valuation allowance against the
deferred tax assets resulting in additional provision (benefit) to income tax expense.







13


During
the fourth quarter of 2006, we determined, based on current and preceding years
results of operations and anticipated profit levels in future periods, that it is more
likely than not that our domestic deferred tax assets will be realized in the future and,
accordingly, that it was appropriate to release the valuation allowance recorded against
those deferred tax assets. In reaching this conclusion, we weighed both negative and
positive evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets and considered
the extent to which the evidence could be objectively verified. The primary factors we
considered were that:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | Based upon our recent results of operations, as well as our internal projections, we
expect to utilize our NOL carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards prior to their
expiration.
| |  | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | We have never had any expired federal operating loss carryforwards in our history, and
after utilization of net operating losses against the fiscal year 2006 federal taxable
income, the first federal NOL carryforward scheduled to expire is in the year 2012.
| |  | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Although
we have determined that a valuation allowance is no longer required with respect to our
domestic net operating loss carryforwards, deferred expenses and tax credit carryforwards,
recovery is dependent on achieving the forecast of future operating income over a
protracted period of time. Failure to achieve future operating income targets or negative
changes to expected trends may change the assessment regarding the recoverability of the
net deferred tax assets and such change could result in a valuation allowance being
recorded against some or all of the deferred tax assets. Any increase in a valuation
allowance would result in additional income tax expense and could have a significant
impact on our earnings in future periods.

The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety
by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1
of this Quarterly Report and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2007. Historical results and
percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods.


Critical accounting policies


The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates,
including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, warranty
obligations, contingencies and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A
discussion of our critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates
affecting the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is included in the
Annual Report on our Form 10-K fiscal year 2006. There have been no material changes to
our critical accounting policies as of June 30, 2007 except as noted below:

Effective
January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48).


Recent Accounting
Pronouncements


In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).
 This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 applies under other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly,
does not require any new fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We
are currently analyzing SFAS 157 and believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will not
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.


Overview


We
are engaged in research, development, manufacturing and distribution of proprietary light
based systems for hair removal and other cosmetic treatments. Since our inception, we have
been able to develop a differentiated product mix of light based systems for cosmetic
treatments through our research and development as well as with our partnerships
throughout the world. We are continually developing and testing new indications to further
the advancement in cosmetic light based treatments.


Our
total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $32.8 million as compared to $36.7
million in the second quarter of 2006. Excluding back-owed royalties received from Cutera
of $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 through a patent license agreement,
revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were $23.0 million, resulting in a 42 percent
increase in revenues for the second quarter of 2007. Product revenues increased to $28.3
million, a 31 percent increase over the $21.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. Gross
margin from product revenues was 64 percent for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to
71 percent for the second quarter of 2006. Gross margin this quarter was affected by
several factors. As a percentage of worldwide product revenues, expansion efforts outside
North America resulted in product revenues at distributor transfer prices increasing over
the same quarter last year. Gross margin was also affected by a decrease in average
selling prices, an increase in trade-ups of StarLux 300s to StarLux 500s, and the sale of
StarLux 300 demonstration units due to our recent introduction of the StarLux 500. Income
before taxes for the second quarter of this year was $9.4 million as compared to the $18.1
million reported in the second quarter of last year. Excluding other income in the second
quarter of 2007 and back-owed royalties and reimbursement of legal fees received from
Cutera in the second quarter of 2006, income before taxes for the second quarter of 2007
was $8.9 million as compared to $5.8 million for the same quarter last year, resulting in
a 54 percent increase. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007
was 38% compared to 4% in the second quarter of last year. We reported net income of $5.8
million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the second quarter of this year, versus net income
of $17.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2006.


We
strengthened our balance sheet since the end of last year including increasing our cash
and available-for-sale investments by 16% and increasing stockholders equity by 15%.
Our working capital increased 15% since the end of 2006 and we have no debt.


We
continue to focus on delivering innovative light based systems and products to our
customers in order to drive revenue and earnings growth.

|Product
revenues. Sales of the StarLux 300 and 500 Laser and Pulsed Light Systems,
including a base unit and multiple, optional handpieces were the leading contributor to
our increase in product revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 in
comparison to the same periods in 2006. Favorably impacting product revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2007, was an increase of 33% in sales related to the Lux
family of products, which includes the StarLux, MediLux, EsteLux and additional
handpieces, a 16% increase in the Q-Yag 5 product line, and a 50% increase in customer
service revenue in comparison to the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June
30, 2007, favorably impacting product revenues was an increase of 37% in sales related to
the Lux family of products, a 45% increase in sales relating to customer
service offset by a decrease of 27% from sales related to the Q-Yag 5 product line in
comparison to the same period in 2006.


Product
revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of 71% and 72%,
respectively, to North American customers where we sell through a direct sales force and
29% and 28%, respectively, outside of North America where we sell through distributors. In
comparison to the same three and six month periods in 2006, product revenue consisted of
86% and 83%, respectively, to North American customers and 14% and 17%, respectively
outside of North America.


Royalty
revenues. Royalty revenues decreased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, in comparison to the same periods in 2006 as a result of the $13.6 million
received for back-owed royalties from the Cutera patent settlement in the second quarter
of 2006. Excluding these back-owed royalties, in the three months ended June 30, 2007,
royalty revenue increased 290% mainly as a result of new patent license agreements with
Cutera and Cynosure in the second and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively, offset by a net decrease in on-going royalties from other licensees.


Funded
product development revenues. Funded development revenue increased for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, in comparison to the same periods in 2006.
Funded product development revenue is generated from the development agreements with
Gillette, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. and the United States Department
of the Army.

For
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $1.2 million and $150,000,
respectively of funded product development revenues from Gillette. For the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $2.1 million and $850,000, respectively of
funded product development revenues from Gillette. Funded product development revenue from
Gillette increased over the same periods in 2006 due to a $2.5 million dollar payment received December 8, 2006 being recognized over a
twelve month period as we are obligated to perform additional services and remain
exclusive to Gillette during that period in consideration for this payment and an
amendment to our agreement with Gillette to include the development of a second light
based hair removal device for home use which resulted in a payment to be recognized over
an eleven month period as costs are incurred and services are provided, ending January 13,
2008. As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, $1.8 million and $550,000, respectively of advance
payments received from Gillette for which services were not yet provided were included in
deferred revenue.


For
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $1.2 million and $375,000,
respectively of funded product development revenues from Johnson & Johnson. For the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $1.5 million and $750,000,
respectively of funded product development revenues from Johnson & Johnson. The funded
product development revenues from Johnson & Johnson increased over the same periods in
2006 due to an amendment to our agreement with Johnson & Johnson which resulted in a
payment to be recognized over a six month period as costs are incurred and services are
provided, ending August 15, 2007. As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, $340,000 of advance
payments received from Johnson & Johnson for which services were not yet provided were
included in deferred revenue.


We
provide services under a $3.8 million research contract with the United States Department
of the Army to develop a light based self-treatment device for Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
or PFB. On February 26, 2007, the contract was extended for an additional five month period, ending September 30, 2007.
The contract is a cost plus fee arrangement whereby we are reimbursed for the
expenses incurred in connection with PFB research plus an 8% fee. Revenue is recognized
under the contract as the costs are incurred and the services are rendered. For the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized approximately $34,000 and $363,000,
respectively of funded product development revenues from the United States Department of
the Army. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized approximately
$250,000 and $707,000, respectively of funded product development revenues from the United
States Department of the Army.


Cost of product revenues. For the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2007, the cost of product revenues as a percentage of total revenue was 31% and 29%,
respectively, or 17% and 20%, respectively for the comparable periods in 2006, which
included a positive adjustment of approximately $762,000 in accrued royalties due to a
license amendment offset by a charge of approximately $145,000 related to an inventory
write-down. The remaining increase as a percentage of total revenue for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006 was attributed to
expansion efforts outside North America, a decrease in average selling prices, an increase
in trade-ups of StarLux 300s to StarLux 500s, and the sale of StarLux 300 demonstration
units due to our recent introduction of the StarLux 500.


Cost
of royalty revenues. The cost of royalty revenues decreased for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007, in comparison to the same periods in 2006. This
decrease is the result of the $5.4 million back-owed royalties due to MGH from the Cutera
patent settlement in the second quarter of 2006, offset by new patent license agreements
with Cutera and Cynosure in the second and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively, and by a net decrease in on-going royalties from other licensees.
 As a percentage of royalty revenues, the cost of
royalty revenues was consistent at 40% in accordance with our license agreement with
Massachusetts General Hospital in comparison to the same periods in 2006.


Research
and development expense. The increase in research and development expense
is a direct result of our spending related to our continued commitment of introducing new
technology and enhancing our current family of products.

For
the three months ended June 30, 2007, expenses relating to the Gillette agreement
increased by $117,000 and decreased by $154,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to the same periods in 2006. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2007
was mainly due to increases of $153,000 for payroll and payroll related expenses and
$66,000 for clinical, consulting, and overhead expenses, offset by $102,000 for material
costs. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was mainly due to decreases of
$135,000 for clinical, consulting and overhead expenses and $66,000 for material costs,
offset by an increase of $48,000 for payroll and payroll related expenses.


Expenses
relating to the Johnson & Johnson agreement increased during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 by $318,000 and $482,000, respectively. The increase for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 was mainly due to increases of $79,000 for payroll and payroll
related expenses, $116,000 for other clinical, consulting and overhead expenses and
$119,000 for material costs as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in the
six months ended June 30, 2007 was mainly due to an increase of $173,000 from other
clinical, consulting and overhead expenses, $179,000 for material costs and $113,000 for
payroll and payroll related expenses as compared to the same period in 2006.


For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, expenses relating to the United States
Department of the Army decreased by approximately $304,000 and $423,000, respectively in
comparison to the same periods in 2006. The decrease for the three months ended June 30,
2007 was mainly due to $184,000 less payroll and payroll related expenses, $41,000 less
material costs, and a $79,000 reduction in other clinical, consulting and overhead
expenses. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was mainly due to $278,000
less payroll and payroll related expenses, $37,000 less material costs, and a $108,000
reduction in other clinical, consulting and overhead expenses.


Expenses
for internal research and development projects relating to the introduction of new
products, enhancements made to the current family of products and research and development
overhead remained consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2007 in comparison to the
same period in 2006 while these expenses increased by approximately $984,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 in comparison to the same period in 2006.


Selling
and marketing expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, selling
and marketing expense increased by $716,000, or 13%, over the comparable period in 2006.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, selling and marketing increased by $72,000 from
payroll and payroll related expenses, $82,000 related to tradeshow expenses, $182,000 from
our new international office, $97,000 related to consultants and $82,000 related to
commission expense as compared to the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June
30, 2007, selling and marketing expense increased by $1.6 million, or 14%, over the
comparable period in 2006 which includes a $230,000 write-off of demonstration inventory.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2007, selling and marketing increased by $228,000
from payroll and payroll related expenses, $189,000 related to tradeshow expenses,
$280,000 from our new international office, $329,000 related to consultants and $263,000
related to commission expense as compared to the same period in 2006. These increases
directly correlate with our increased revenues and costs associated with our continued expansion.


General
and administrative expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2007,
general and administrative expenses increased by $5.0 million over the
comparable period in 2006.
 For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, general
and administrative expense increased $900,000 from legal and patent litigation
expenses excluding the $3.8 million received in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of the Cutera settlement for legal expense reimbursement,
$318,000 in other overhead expenses, and $43,000 from payroll and payroll
related expenses offset by a decrease of $100,000 from incentive compensation as compared
to the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, general and
administrative expense increased by $6.2 million over the comparable period in
2006, which includes the Cutera additional legal expense and legal expense reimbursement.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative expenses increased $1.5
million from legal and patent litigation expenses excluding the $3.8 million received in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of the Cutera settlement for legal expense reimbursement,
$600,000 from incentive compensation,
$98,000 from payroll and payroll related expenses and $104,000 in other overhead expenses
as compared to the same period in 2006. These increases are mainly attributed to our
financial improvements in increasing profitability and our continued efforts regarding the
ongoing patent infringement lawsuits.

Interest
income.Interest income decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2007
over the comparable period in 2006 due to $1.2 million in interest on back-owed royalties
received from the Cutera patent settlement, offset by an increase in cash balance.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased over the comparable
period in 2006 due to an increase in the cash balance.


Other
income.Other income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
includes cash received related to the expiration of a standstill agreement.


Provision
for income taxes.  We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Effective January 1, 2007,
the Company adopted FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 38% and 4%,
respectively. The primary components of this provision, in 2006, were minimum federal and
state taxes. However, our cash tax liabilities were partially offset with the tax benefit
from the exercise of stock options and NOLs. In 2007, our effective tax rate is the
combined federal and state statutory rates.


During
the fourth quarter of 2006, we determined, based on current and preceding years
results of operations and anticipated profit levels in future periods, that it is more
likely than not that our domestic deferred tax assets will be realized in the future and,
accordingly, that it was appropriate to release the valuation allowance recorded against
those deferred tax assets. In reaching this conclusion, we weighed both negative and
positive evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets and considered
the extent to which the evidence could be objectively verified.


Liquidity and capital
resources


The
following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a year over year comparison of key
components of our liquidity and capital resources (in thousands):

|At
June 30, 2007, we had $121 million in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale
investments. We believe that our current cash balances and expected future cash flows will
be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures
and other activities for at least the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2007, we had no
borrowings or debt.




21






Cash flows from operating
 activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007, decreased compared to the same period
in 2006. This decrease in operating activity cash flows reflects a decrease in net income, offset
by a decrease in working capital requirements, decrease in stock compensation expense, and
increase in bad debt recoveries in the second quarter of 2007. Cash flows used in investing
activities increased for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period
in 2006. These amounts primarily reflect cash used for purchases of property and
equipment, purchases of available-for-sale investments offset by proceeds from the sale of
available-for-sale investments. Cash flows from financing activities increased for the
six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in exercises of stock options and the related
tax benefits.


We
anticipate that capital expenditures for the remainder of 2007 will total approximately
$500,000, consisting primarily of leasehold improvements, machinery, equipment, computers
and peripherals. We expect to finance these expenditures with cash on hand.


Effective as of February 14, 2003, we entered into a Development and License Agreement
with Gillette to complete the development and commercialize a home-use, light based hair
removal device for women. (See Note 9 for more information.)


In
the first quarter of 2004, we began providing services under a research contract with the
United States Department of the Army to develop a light based self-treatment device for
PFB. (See Note 11 for more information.)


Effective
as of September 1, 2004, we entered into a Joint Development and License Agreement with
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. to develop and commercialize home-use,
light based devices in the fields of (i) reducing or reshaping body fat including
cellulite; (ii) reducing appearance of skin aging; and (iii) reducing or preventing acne.
(See Note 10 for more information.)


On
June 5, 2006, we announced the resolution of our patent infringement lawsuits against
Cutera, Inc. through the execution of a Settlement Agreement and a Non-Exclusive Patent
License Agreement. (See Note 12 for more information.)


On
October 18, 2006, we entered into a new Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement with
Laserscope and terminated our prior license agreement with them. (See Note 13 for more
information.)


On
November 7, 2006, we announced the execution of a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement
with Cynosure, Inc. (See Note 14 for more information.)


On
April 2, 2007, we announced the resolution of our patent infringement and trade dress
lawsuit against Alma Lasers, Inc. through the execution of a Settlement Agreement, a
Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement and a Trade Dress Settlement Agreement. (See Note 15 for more information.)



Contractual obligations


On
August 1, 2004, we entered into a new agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital
whereby they agreed to conduct clinical and non-clinical research in the field of photo
thermal removal or reduction of hair, using light. The agreement has a term of three
years, until August 2007, and we have provided Massachusetts General Hospital at least
$230,000 on an annual basis to cover the direct and indirect costs of the research. We
have the right to exclusively license, on royalty terms to be negotiated, the inventions
we fund that are discovered during this research.


We
are a party to a license agreement, as amended, with Massachusetts General Hospital
whereby we are obligated to pay royalties to Massachusetts General Hospital for sales of
certain products as well as 40% of royalties received from third parties. Royalty expense
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled approximately $1.5 million and
$3.2 million, respectively.


We have obligations related to the adoption of FIN 48.  Further information about changes in these obligations can be found in Note 16.


We
are obligated to make future payments under various contracts, including non-cancelable
inventory purchase commitments and our operating lease relating to our Burlington,
Massachusetts manufacturing, research and development and administrative offices.







22



On
January 18, 2006, we signed an amendment to our lease to add an additional 12,000 square
feet. Rent expense, including this new lease, will total approximately $1.2 million per
year, expiring in August of 2009.


The
following table summarizes our estimated contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2007,
excluding royalty and employment obligations because they are variable and/or subject to
uncertain timing (in thousands):

Cautionary statements


This
report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as
statements of our objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made
in this report should be read as applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever
they appear in this report. Our actual results could differ materially from those
discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those
discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report.


If we do not continue to develop
and commercialize new products and identify new markets for our products and technology,
we may not remain competitive, and our revenues and operating results could suffer.


The
aesthetic light based (both lasers and lamps) treatment system industry is subject to
continuous technological development and product innovation. If we do not continue to be
innovative in the development of new products and applications, our competitive position
will likely deteriorate as other companies successfully design and commercialize new
products and applications. We compete in the development, manufacture, marketing, sales
and servicing of light based devices with numerous other companies, some of which have
substantially greater direct worldwide sales capabilities. Our products also face
competition from medical products, prescription drugs and cosmetic procedures, such as
electrolysis and waxing.


Our products are subject to
numerous medical device regulations. Compliance is expensive and time-consuming. Without
necessary clearances, we may be unable to sell products and compete effectively.


All
of our current products are light based devices, which are subject to FDA regulations for
clinical testing, manufacturing, labeling, sale, distribution and promotion. Before a new
product or a new use of or claim for an existing product can be marketed in the United
States, we must obtain clearance from the FDA. In the event that we do not obtain FDA
clearances, our ability to market products in the United States and revenue derived there
from may be adversely affected.  The types of medical devices that we seek to market
in the U.S. generally must receive either 510(k) clearance or PMA
approval in advance from the FDA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act. The FDAs 510(k) clearance process can be expensive and usually takes from four
to twelve months, but it can last longer. The process of obtaining PMA approval is much
more costly and uncertain and generally takes from one to three years or even longer from
the time the pre-market approval application is submitted to the FDA until an approval is
obtained.


In
order to obtain pre-market approval and, in some cases, a 510(k) clearance, a product
sponsor must conduct well controlled clinical trials designed to test the safety and
effectiveness of the product. Conducting clinical trials generally entails a long,
expensive and uncertain process that is subject to delays and failure at any stage. The
data obtained from clinical trials may be inadequate to support approval or clearance of a
submission. In addition, the occurrence of unexpected findings in connection with clinical
trials may prevent or delay obtaining approval or clearance. If we conduct clinical
trials, they may be delayed or halted, or be inadequate to support approval or clearance,
for numerous reasons, including:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Medical devices may be marketed
only for the indications for which they are approved or cleared. The FDA may not approve
or clear indications that are necessary or desirable for successful commercialization.
Indeed, the FDA may refuse our requests for 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval of new
products, new intended uses or modifications to existing products. Our clearances can be
revoked if safety or effectiveness problems develop.


To
date, the FDA has deemed our products eligible for the 510(k) clearance process. We
believe that our products in development will receive similar treatment. However, we
cannot be sure that the FDA will not impose the more burdensome PMA approval process upon
one or more of our future products, nor can we be sure that 510(k) clearance or PMA
approval will ever be obtained for any product we propose to market, and our failure to do
so could adversely affect our ability to sell our products.


We
often seek FDA clearance for additional indications for use. Clinical trials in support of
such clearances for additional indications may be costly and time-consuming. In the event
that we do not obtain additional FDA clearances, our ability to market products in the
United States and revenue derived therefrom may be adversely affected. Medical devices may
be marketed only for the indications for which they are approved or cleared, and if we are
found to be marketing our products for off-label, or non-approved, uses we might be
subject to FDA enforcement action or have other resulting liability.


Our
products are subject to similar regulations in many international markets. Complying with
these regulations is necessary for our strategy of expanding the markets for sales of our
products into these countries. Compliance with the regulatory clearance process in any
country is expensive and time consuming.  Regulatory clearances may necessitate
clinical testing, limitations on the number of sales and limitations on the type of end
user, among other things.  In certain instances, these constraints can delay planned
shipment schedules as design and engineering modifications are made in response to
regulatory concerns and requests.  We may not be able to obtain clearances in each
country in a timely fashion or at all, and our failure to do so could adversely affect our
ability to sell our products in those countries.


After clearance or approval of our
products, we are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, and if we fail to comply
with FDA regulations, our business could suffer.


Even
after clearance or approval of a product, we are subject to continuing regulation by the
FDA, including the requirements that our facility be registered and our devices listed
with the agency. We are subject to Medical Device Reporting regulations, which require us
to report to the FDA if our products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious
injury or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious
injury if the malfunction were to recur. We must report corrections and removals to the
FDA where the correction or removal was initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by the
device or to remedy a violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act caused by the
device that may present a risk to health, and we must maintain records of other
corrections or removals. The FDA closely regulates promotion and advertising and our
promotional and advertising activities could come under scrutiny. If the FDA objects to
our promotional and advertising activities or finds that we failed to submit reports under
the Medical Device Reporting regulations, for example, the FDA may allege our activities
resulted in violations.

25






The
FDA and state authorities have broad enforcement powers. Our failure to comply with
applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA or state
agencies, which may include any of the following sanctions:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | letters, warning letters, fines,
injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties; o repair, replacement, refunds, recall
or seizure of our products;
| |  | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | operating restrictions or partial suspension or total
shutdown of production;
| |  | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | refusing or delaying our requests for 510(k) clearance or
pre-market approval of new products or new intended uses; and
| |  | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | criminal prosecution.
| |  | - |  | ---------------------

|If any of these events were to occur,
they could harm our business.


We have modified some of our
products and sold them under prior 510(k) clearances. The FDA could retroactively decide
the modifications required new 510(k) clearances and require us to cease marketing and/or
recall the modified products.


Any
modification to one of our 510(k) cleared devices that could significantly affect its
safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use,
requires a new 510(k) clearance. We may be required to submit pre-clinical and clinical
data depending on the nature of the changes. We may not be able to obtain additional
510(k) clearances or pre-market approvals for modifications to, or additional indications
for, our existing products in a timely fashion, or at all. Delays in obtaining future
clearances or approvals would adversely affect our ability to introduce new or enhanced
products into the market in a timely manner, which in turn would harm our revenue and
operating results. We have modified some of our marketed devices, but we believe that new
510(k) clearances are not required. We cannot be certain that the FDA would agree with any
of our decisions not to seek 510(k) clearance. If the FDA requires us to seek 510(k)
clearance for any modification, we also may be required to cease marketing and/or recall
the modified device until we obtain a new 510(k) clearance.


Federal regulatory reforms may
adversely affect our ability to sell our products profitably.


From
time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in Congress that could significantly
change the statutory provisions governing the clearance or approval, manufacture and
marketing of a device. In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or
reinterpreted by the agency in ways that may significantly affect our business and our
products. It is impossible to predict whether legislative changes will be enacted or FDA
regulations, guidance or interpretations changed, and what the impact of such changes, if
any, may be.


We may also be subject to state
regulations.   State regulations, and changes to state regulations, may prevent
sales to particular end users or may restrict use of the products to particular end users
or under particular supervision which may decrease revenues or prevent growth of revenues.


Our
products may also be subject to state regulations.   Federal regulation allows
our products to be sold to and used by licensed practitioners as determined on a
state-by-state basis which complicates monitoring compliance. As a result, in some states
non-physicians may purchase and operate our products. In most states, it is within a
physicians discretion to determine whom they can supervise in the operation of our
products and the level of supervision. However, some states have specific regulations as
to appropriate supervision and who may be supervised. A state could disagree with our
decision to sell to a particular type of end user or change regulations to prevent sales
to particular types of end users or change regulations as to supervision requirements. In
several states applicable regulations are in flux.  Thus, state regulations and
changes to state regulations may decrease revenues or prevent growth of revenues.



26






Because we do not require training
for all users of our products, and sell our products to non-physicians, there exists an
increased potential for misuse of our products, which could harm our reputation and our
business.


Federal regulations allow us to sell our products to or on the order of practitioners
licensed by state law. The definition of licensed practitioners varies from
state to state. As a result, our products may be purchased or operated by physicians with
varying levels of training and, in many states, by non-physicians, including nurse
practitioners, chiropractors and technicians. Outside the United States, many
jurisdictions do not require specific qualifications or training for purchasers or
operators of our products. We do not supervise the procedures performed with our products,
nor do we require that direct medical supervision occur. Our products come with an
operators manual. We and our distributors offer product training sessions, but
neither we nor our distributors require purchasers or operators of our products to attend
training sessions. The lack of required training and the purchase and use of our products
by non-physicians may result in product misuse and adverse treatment outcomes, which could
harm our reputation and expose us to costly product liability litigation.


Achieving complete compliance with
FDA regulations is difficult, and if we fail to comply, we could be subject to FDA
enforcement action or our business could suffer.


We
are subject to inspection and market surveillance by the FDA to determine compliance with
regulatory requirements. The FDAs regulatory scheme is complex, especially the
Quality System Regulation, which requires manufacturers to follow elaborate design,
testing, control, documentation, and other quality assurance procedures. Because some of
our products involve the use of lasers, those products also are covered by a performance
standard for lasers set forth in FDA regulations. The laser performance standard imposes
specific record keeping, reporting, product testing and product labeling requirements.
These requirements include affixing warning labels to laser products as well as
incorporating certain safety features in the design of laser products. The FDA enforces
the Quality System Regulation and laser performance standards through periodic unannounced
inspections. We have been, and anticipate in the future being, subject to such
inspections. The complexity of the Quality System Regulation makes complete compliance
difficult to achieve. Also, the determination as to whether a Quality System Regulation
violation has occurred is often subjective. If the FDA finds that we have failed to comply
with the Quality System Regulation or other applicable requirements or take satisfactory
corrective action in response to an adverse Quality System Regulation inspection or comply
with applicable laser performance standards, the agency can institute a wide variety of
enforcement actions, including a public warning letter or other stronger remedies, such as
fines, injunctions, criminal and civil penalties, recall or seizure of our products,
operating  restrictions, partial suspension, or total shutdown of our production,
refusing to permit the import or export of our products, delaying or refusing our requests
for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of new products, withdrawing product approvals
already granted or criminal prosecution, any of which could cause our business and
operating results to suffer.


Failure to manage our
relationships with third party researchers effectively may limit our access to new
technology, increase the cost of licensing new technology, and divert management attention
from our core business.


We
are dependent upon third-party researchers over whom we do not have absolute control to
satisfactorily conduct and complete research on our behalf.  We are also dependent
upon third-party researchers to grant us licensing terms, which may or may not be
favorable for products and technology which they may develop. We provide research funding,
light technology and optics know-how in return for licensing rights with respect to
specific dermatologic and cosmetic applications and patents. In return for certain
exclusive license rights, we are subject to due diligence obligations in order to maintain
such exclusivity.  Our success will be dependent upon the results of research with
our partners and meeting due diligence obligations. We cannot be sure that third-party
researchers will agree with our interpretation of the terms of our agreements, that we
will meet our due diligence obligations, or that such research agreements will provide us
with marketable products in the future or that any of the products developed under these
agreements will be profitable for us.






27






If our new products do not gain market
acceptance, our revenues and operating results could suffer.


The
commercial success of the products and technology we develop will depend upon the
acceptance of these products by providers of aesthetic procedures and their patients and
clients. It is difficult for us to predict how successful recently introduced products, or
products we are currently developing, will be over the long term. If the products we
develop do not gain market acceptance, our revenues and operating results could suffer.


We
expect that many of the products we develop will be based upon new technologies or new
applications of existing technologies. It may be difficult for us to achieve market
acceptance of some of our products, particularly the first products that we introduce to
the market based on new technologies or new applications of existing technologies.


If demand for our aesthetic
treatment systems by non-traditional physician customers and spas does not develop as we
expect, our revenues will suffer and our business will be harmed.


Our
revenues from non-traditional physician customers and spa purchasers of our products
continue to increase. We believe, and our growth expectations assume, that we and other
companies selling light based (lasers and lamps) aesthetic treatment systems have only
begun to penetrate these markets and that our revenues from selling to these markets will
continue to increase. If our expectations as to the size of these markets and our ability
to sell our products to participants in these markets are not correct, our revenues will
suffer and our business will be harmed.


If there is not sufficient
consumer demand for the procedures performed with our products, practitioner demand for
our products could decline, which would adversely affect our operating results.


Most
procedures performed using our aesthetic treatment systems are elective procedures that
are not reimbursable through government or private health insurance. The cost of these
elective procedures must be borne by the client. As a result, the decision to undergo a
procedure that utilizes our products may be influenced by a number of factors, including:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | consumer awareness of procedures and treatments;
| |  | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | the cost, safety and effectiveness of the procedure and of alternative treatments;
| |  | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | the success of our and our
customers sales and marketing efforts to purchasers of these procedures; and
| |  | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | consumer confidence, which may be affected by economic and other conditions.
| |  | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|If
there is not sufficient demand for the procedures performed with our products,
practitioner demand for our products would be reduced, which would adversely affect our
operating results.


Our business and operations are
experiencing rapid growth. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and
operating results could be harmed.


We
have experienced increased growth in the scope of our operations and the number of our
employees. This growth has placed significant demands on our management, as well as our
financial and operational resources. If we do not effectively manage our growth, the
efficiency of our operations and the quality of our products could suffer, which could
adversely affect our business and operating results. To effectively manage this growth, we
will need to continue to:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | implement appropriate operational,
financial and management controls, systems and procedures;
| |  | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | expand our manufacturing
capacity and scale of production;
| |  | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | expand our sales, marketing and distribution
infrastructure and capabilities; and
| |  | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | o |  | provide adequate training and supervision to
maintain high quality standards.
| |  | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|28




Failure to receive shipments of
critical components could reduce revenues and reduced reliability of critical components
could increase expenses.


We develop light based systems that incorporate third-party components and we purchase
some of these components from small, specialized vendors that are not well capitalized. We
do not have long-term contracts with some of these third parties for the supply of parts.
A disruption in the delivery of these key components, or our inability to obtain
substitute components or subassemblies from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a
timely manner, or our inability to obtain assembly or testing services could prevent us
from manufacturing products and result in a decrease in revenue.  We depend on an
acceptable level of reliability for purchased components.  Reliability below
expectations for key components could have an adverse affect on inventory and inventory
reserves. Any extended interruption in our supplies of third party components could
materially harm our business.


Our proprietary technology has
only limited protections which may not prevent competitors from copying our new
developments.  This may impair our ability to compete effectively, and we may expend
significant resources enforcing our intellectual property rights to prevent such copying.


Our
business could be materially and adversely affected if we are not able to adequately
protect our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright,
trademark and trade secret laws, licenses and confidentiality agreements to protect our
proprietary rights. We own and license a variety of patents and patent applications in the
United States and corresponding patents and patent applications in many foreign
jurisdictions. To date, however, our patent estate has not stopped other companies from
competing against us, and though we have licensed certain competitors to certain patents
and are enforcing those same patents against other competitors and intend to enforce
against others, we do not know how successful we will be in asserting our patents against
suspected infringers. Our pending and future patent applications may not issue as patents
or, if issued, may not issue in a form that will be advantageous to us. Even if issued,
patents may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented, which could limit our
ability to stop competitors from marketing similar products or limit the length of term of
patent protection we may have for our products. Changes in either patent laws or in
interpretations of patent laws in the United States and other countries may diminish the
value of our intellectual property or narrow the scope of our patent protection.


In
addition to patented technology, we rely upon unpatented proprietary technology, processes
and know-how. We generally enter into agreements with our employees and third parties with
whom we work, including but not limited to consultants and vendors, to restrict access to,
and distribution of, our proprietary information and define our intellectual property
ownership rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized
parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology, proprietary
information and know-how and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach.
Monitoring unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and we cannot be certain that
the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in
foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the
United States. If competitors are able to use our technology, our ability to compete
effectively could be harmed and the value of our technology and products could be
adversely affected.  Costly and time consuming lawsuits may be necessary to enforce
and defend patents issued or licensed exclusively to us, to protect our trade secrets
and/or know-how or to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of others
intellectual property rights. Such lawsuits may result in patents issued or licensed
exclusively to us to be found invalid and unenforceable.  In addition, our trade
secrets may otherwise become known or our competitors also may independently develop
technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology and which do
not infringe our patents.

29




Claims by others that our products
infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights could prevent us from
manufacturing and selling some of our products or require us to pay royalties or incur
substantial costs from litigation or development of non-infringing technology.


In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving
patents and other intellectual property rights.  The light based cosmetic and
dermatology industry in particular is characterized by a large number of patents and
related litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Because our
resources are limited and patent applications are maintained in secrecy for a period of
time, we can conduct only limited searches to determine whether our technology infringes
any patents or patent applications. Any claims for patent infringement, regardless of
merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and
management personnel, cause shipment delays, require us to develop non-infringing
technology or to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Uncertainties resulting from
the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a
material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Although patent and
intellectual property disputes in the light based industry have often been settled through
licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with such arrangements may be
substantial and often require the payment of ongoing royalties, which could have a
negative impact on gross margins. There can be no assurance that necessary licenses would
be available to us on satisfactory terms, or that we could redesign our products or
processes to avoid infringement, if necessary. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a
judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could
prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products. This could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Candela
Corporation has filed two patent infringement lawsuits against us. (See Part II. Item 1
Legal Proceedings.) Litigation with Candela is expected to be expensive and protracted,
and our intellectual property position may be weakened as a result of an adverse ruling or
judgment. Whether or not we are successful in the pending lawsuits, litigation consumes
substantial amounts of our financial resources and diverts managements attention
away from our core business. Public announcements concerning this litigation that are
unfavorable to us may in the future result in significant declines in our stock price. An
adverse ruling or judgment in this matter could cause our stock price to decline
significantly.


We may not be able to
successfully collect licensing royalties.


Material portions of our revenues consist of royalties from sub-licensing patents licensed
to us on an exclusive basis by Massachusetts General Hospital. If we are unable to collect
our licensing royalties, our revenues will decline.


Quarterly revenue or operating
results could cause the price of our common stock to fall.


Our quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and may swing sharply
from quarter to quarter.  If our quarterly revenue or operating results fall
below the expectations of investors or public market analysts, the price of our common
stock could fall substantially. Our quarterly revenue is difficult to forecast for many
reasons, some of which are outside of our control.  For example, many factors are
related to market supply and demand, including potential increases in the level and
intensity of price competition between our competitors and us which may cause us to reduce our prices and our profit margins, potential decrease in
demand for our products and possible delays in market acceptance of our new
products.  Other factors are related to our customers and include changes in or
extensions of our customers budgeting and purchasing cycles and changes in the
timing of product sales in anticipation of new product introductions or enhancements by us
or our competitors.   Factors related to our operations may also cause quarterly
revenue or operating results to fall below expectations, including our effectiveness in
our manufacturing process, unsatisfactory performance of our distribution channels,
service providers, or customer support organizations, and timing of any acquisitions and
related costs.


30




Managing our relationships with
Gillette (now part of The Procter & Gamble Company), the United States Department of
the Army, and Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc may divert the attention of
key technical personnel and management from the core business.   If any of these
parties end the relationship our stock price could fall, and we may be unable to bring
home use devices to the market.


We
believe that our relationships with Gillette, the United States Department of the Army and
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. represent unique opportunities to bring
light based devices to the mass market. Significant resources and the attention of key
technical personnel and management have been and may continue to be directed to the
development and commercialization of such devices even though such devices will not likely
be commercialized for several years, if ever.  In addition, we cannot be sure that
these parties will agree with our interpretation of the terms of the agreements, that the
agreements will provide us with marketable products in the future or that we will receive
payments for any of the products developed under the agreements.  During the terms of
the agreements, Gillette and Johnson & Johnson have the ability to choose not to
continue and may terminate the agreements.  If Gillette or Johnson & Johnson
terminates their agreement with us, the price of our common stock could fall
significantly, and we will not receive certain payments.  We may proceed to develop
and commercialize the devices on our own or with a third party.  However, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement such a strategy.  In
addition, after commercialization of such devices, Gillette and Johnson & Johnson are
to pay us a percentage of net sales of such devices. Certain of these percentages of net
sales are only owed if the devices are covered by valid patents.  There can be no
assurance that valid patents will cover the devices in any or all countries, in which the
devices will be manufactured, used or sold.  This could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


The expense and potential
unavailability of liability insurance coverage for our customers could adversely affect
our ability to sell our products and our financial condition.


Some
of our customers and prospective customers have had difficulty in procuring or maintaining
liability insurance to cover their operation and use of our products. Medical malpractice
carriers are withdrawing coverage in some states or substantially increasing premiums. If
this trend continues or worsens, our customers may discontinue using our products, and
potential customers may elect not to purchase laser and other light based products.


We may be unable to attract and
retain key executives and research and development personnel that we need to succeed.


As a small company with approximately 250 employees, our success depends on the services
of key employees in executive and research and development positions. The loss of the
services of one or more of these employees could have a material adverse effect on our
business.  Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract,
retain, and motivate highly skilled employees. We cannot be certain that we will be able
to do so.


Product liability suits could be
brought against us due to a defective design, material or workmanship or due to misuse of
our products. These lawsuits could be expensive and time consuming and result in
substantial damages to us and increases in our insurance rates.


If
our products are defectively designed, manufactured or labeled, contain defective
components or are misused, we may become subject to substantial and costly litigation by
our customers or their patients or clients. Furthermore, in the event that any of our
products prove to be defectively designed and manufactured, we may be required to recall
and redesign such products. Misusing our products or failing to adhere to operating
guidelines for our products can cause severe burns or other damage to the eyes, skin or
other tissue. We are routinely involved in claims related to the use of our products.
Product liability claims could divert managements attention from our core business,
be expensive to defend and result in sizable damage awards against us. Our current
insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover these claims. Moreover, in the future,
we may not be able to obtain insurance in amount or scope sufficient to provide us with
adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Any product liability claims brought
against us, with or without merit, could increase our product liability insurance rates or
prevent us from securing continuing coverage, could harm our reputation in the industry
and reduce product sales. We would need to pay any product losses in excess of our
insurance coverage out of cash reserves, harming our financial condition and adversely
affecting our operating results.


31




We face risks associated with
product warranties.


We
could incur substantial costs as a result of product failures for which we are responsible
under warranty obligations.


Because we derive a significant
amount of our revenue from international sales, we are susceptible to currency
fluctuations, long payment cycles, credit risks and other risks associated with conducting
business overseas.


We sell a significant amount of our products and services outside the U.S. 
International product revenue, consisting of sales from our distributors in Japan, Europe,
Australia, Asia\Pacific Rim and South and Central America and sales shipped directly to
international locations from the United States, and we expect that international sales
will continue to be significant.  As a result, a major part of our revenues and
operating results could be adversely affected by risks associated with international
sales, including but not limited to political and economic instability and difficulties in
managing our foreign operations.  In particular, longer payment cycles common in
foreign markets, credit risk and delays in obtaining necessary import or foreign
certification or regulatory approvals for products may occur.  In addition,
significant fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign
currencies could cause us to lower our prices and thus reduce our profitability, or could
cause prospective customers to push out orders to later dates because of the increased
relative cost of our products in the aftermath of a currency devaluation or currency
fluctuation.


We rely on third party
distributors to market and sell a large portion of our products. If these distributors do
not commit the necessary resources to effectively market and sell our products or if our
relationships with these distributors are disrupted, our business and operating results
may be harmed.


In
the United States, we sell our products through our internal sales organization. Outside
of this market, we sell our products through third party distributors. Our sales and
marketing success in these other markets depends on these distributors, in particular
their sales and service expertise and relationships with the customers in the marketplace.
We do not control these distributors, and they may not be successful in marketing our
products. Third party distributors may terminate their relationships with us, or fail to
commit the necessary resources to market and sell our products to the level of our
expectations. If current or future third party distributors do not perform adequately, or
if we fail to maintain our existing relationships with these distributors or fail to
recruit and retain distributors in particular geographic areas, our revenue from
international sales may be adversely affected and our operating results could suffer.


We may not be able to sustain or
increase profitability and we may seek additional financing to grow the business.


Although we have generated a profit in recent years, we have a history of losses. We may
not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If our
operating results fall below the expectations of investors or public market analysts, the
price of our common stock could decline.


We
may determine, depending upon the opportunities available, to seek additional debt or
equity financing to fund the costs of expansion.  Additionally, if we incur
indebtedness to fund increased levels of accounts receivable, finance the acquisition of
capital equipment, or if we issue debt securities in connection with any acquisition we
will be subject to risks associated with incurring substantial additional indebtedness.

Our common stock could be further
diluted by the conversion of outstanding options and warrants.


In
the past, we have issued and still have outstanding convertible securities in the form of
options and warrants.  We may continue to issue options, warrants and other equity
rights as compensation for services and incentive compensation for our employees,
directors and consultants or others who provide services to us. We have a substantial
number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion and exercise of
these securities. Such a conversion would dilute our stockholders and could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock.


Our charter documents, Delaware
law and our shareholder rights plan may discourage potential takeover attempts.


Our Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws contain provisions that
could discourage takeover attempts or make more difficult the acquisition of a substantial
block of our common stock. Our By-laws require a stockholder to provide to our Secretary
advance notice of director nominations and business to be brought by such stockholder
before any annual or special meeting of stockholders, as well as certain information
regarding such nomination and/or business, the stockholder and others known to support
such proposal and any material interest they may have in the proposed business. They also
provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the board of directors. These provisions could delay any stockholder
actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding stock until the
next stockholders meeting. In addition, the board of directors is authorized to
issue shares of our common stock and preferred stock that, if issued, could dilute and
adversely affect various rights of the holders of common stock and, in addition, could be
used to discourage an unsolicited attempt to acquire control of us.


We
are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which prohibits us from engaging in a business combination
with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of
the transaction in which the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The application of Section 203 may limit
the ability of stockholders to approve a transaction that they may deem to be in their
best interests. These provisions of our Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law could deter certain takeovers or tender
offers or could delay or prevent certain changes in control or our management, including
transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over
the then current market price.


In
April 1999, we adopted a shareholder rights plan or poison pill. This is
intended to protect shareholders from unfair or coercive takeover practices.


Any acquisitions that we make
could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition.


From
time to time, we evaluate potential strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses,
products or technologies, as well as consider joint ventures and other collaborative
projects. We may not be able to identify appropriate acquisition candidates or strategic
partners, or successfully negotiate, finance or integrate any businesses, products or
technologies that we acquire. Any acquisition we pursue could diminish our cash available
to us for other uses or be dilutive to our stockholders, and could divert
managements time and resources from our core operations.

Our stock price may be
volatile.


Our
common stock price may be volatile. The stock market in general has experienced extreme
volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by many factors,
including:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Item 3.  Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk


Our
primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest rate risk. Our investment
portfolio of cash equivalents and debt securities is subject to interest rate
fluctuations, but we believe this risk is immaterial because of the short-term nature of
these investments.


Item 4. Controls and
procedures


Under
the direction of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the
Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2007. Based on that
evaluation, the Company has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.


There
were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the
quarter ended June 30, 2007, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.


PART II  Other
information

Item
1.    Legal proceedings


On
February 15, 2002 and April 7, 2005, we commenced actions for patent infringement in the
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Cutera, Inc.
seeking both monetary damages and injunctive relief. The Massachusetts General Hospital in
Boston, Massachusetts was added as a plaintiff in these lawsuits. In the first suit,
Cuteras CoolGlide Laser Systems, including the CoolGlide CV, Excel, Vantage and Xeo,
were alleged to infringe U.S. Patent No. 5,735,844. In the second lawsuit, Cuteras
Lamp Systems, including the CoolGlide Xeo and Solera Opus platforms using the PW770
handpiece, were alleged to infringe both the 5,735,844 Patent as well as U.S. Patent No.
5,595,568. We have an exclusive license to these patents from the Massachusetts General
Hospital.


On
June 5, 2006, we announced the resolution of our patent infringement lawsuits against
Cutera, Inc. through the execution of a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement and a
Settlement Agreement. Under the License Agreement, we granted Cutera a non-exclusive,
royalty bearing license to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,595,568 & 5,735,844 & corresponding
foreign patents and applications in the professional field, excluding the consumer field
which is exclusively licensed to Gillette. Cutera admitted that their products infringe
these patents and that these patents are valid and enforceable. In addition, Cutera agreed
not to challenge the infringement, validity and enforceability of these patents in the
future. Cutera paid us an estimated payment for royalties due on past sales of their laser
and lamp-based hair removal systems beginning with their initial sales in 2000 through
March 31, 2006, interest and reimbursement of our legal costs. The final amounts due to us
were subject to an audit by an independent accounting firm which was completed in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Starting on April 1, 2006, Cutera began paying us a royalty on
sales of its existing light based hair removal systems, and Cutera will pay us a royalty
on sales of its later developed light-based hair removal systems.

Agreement, the Consent Judgments and Stipulations of Dismissal filed as Exhibits 99.1,
99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 to a Current Report on our Form 8-K filed June 5, 2006.


On
July 7, 2006, we commenced an action for patent infringement against Alma Lasers, Inc. in
the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking both monetary
damages and injunctive relief. The complaint alleged Almas Harmony, Soprano and
Sonata Systems which use pulsed light and laser technology for hair removal willfully
infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 5,595,568 & 5,735,844, which are exclusively licensed to us
by the Massachusetts General Hospital. On July 27, 2006, we filed an amended complaint
including an additional claim against Alma for unfair competition due to infringement by
Almas Harmony System of the distinctive trade dress of our products, including the
unique, distinctive, and immediately recognizable design of our EsteLux, MediLux and
StarLux Systems.


On
April 2, 2007, we announced the resolution of our lawsuit against Alma Laser, Inc. through
the execution of a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement, a Trade Dress Settlement
Agreement, and a Settlement Agreement. Under the Patent License Agreement, we granted Alma
a non-exclusive, royalty bearing license to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,595,568 & 5,735,844
& corresponding foreign patents and applications in the professional field, excluding
the consumer field which is exclusively licensed to Gillette. Alma admitted that their
products infringe these patents and that these patents are valid and enforceable. In
addition, Alma agreed not to challenge the infringement, validity and enforceability of
these patents in the future. Alma paid us an estimated payment for royalties due on past
sales of their laser and lamp-based hair removal systems beginning with their initial
sales in 2003 through the date of settlement, plus interest and reimbursement of our legal
costs. Alma also paid us an estimated payment for trade dress fees on past sales of their
Harmony and Aria Systems and interest, and Alma agreed to change the trade dress of the
Harmony and Aria systems within the next six to nine months. The final amounts due to us
are subject to an audit by an independent accounting firm which is expected to be
completed in the third quarter of 2007. Starting on March 30, 2007, Alma began paying us a
royalty on sales of its existing light based hair removal systems, and Alma will pay us a
royalty on sales of its later developed light based hair removal systems.


For
more information, please see the Settlement Agreement, the Non-Exclusive Patent License
Agreement, the Trade Dress Settlement Agreement, the Consent Judgments and Stipulations of
Dismissal filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 to a Current Report on our
Form 8-K filed April 2, 2007.


On
August 9, 2006, we commenced an action for patent infringement against Candela Corporation
in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking both
monetary damages and injunctive relief. The complaint alleges Candelas GentleYAG and
GentleLASE systems which use laser technology for hair removal willfully infringe U.S.
patent No. 5,735,844, which is exclusively licensed to us by the Massachusetts General
Hospital. Candela answered the complaint denying that its products infringe valid claims
of the asserted patents and filing a counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that the
asserted patent and U.S. patent No. 5,595,568 are invalid and not infringed. We filed a
reply denying the material allegations of the counterclaims. This lawsuit has been
transferred to the judge who presided over Palomar v Cutera, Inc. A Markman Hearing is
scheduled for August 2, 2007. The current schedule has the parties ready for trial by June
2008 though no trial date has yet been set. We filed an amended complaint on February 16,
2007 to add the Massachusetts General Hospital as a plaintiff. In addition, we further
alleged that Candelas new GentleMAX system willfully infringes U.S. Patent No.
5,735,844 and that Candelas new Light Station system willfully infringes both U.S.
Patent Nos. 5,735,844 and 5,595,568. On February 16, 2007, Candela filed an amended answer
to our complaint adding allegations of inequitable conduct, double patenting and violation
of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A. On February 28, 2007, we filed a response
to Candelas amended complaint pointing out many weaknesses in Candelas new
allegations.

35






On
August 10, 2006, Candela Corporation commenced an action for patent infringement against
us in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking both
monetary damages and injunctive relief. The complaint alleged that our StarLux System with
the LuxV handpiece willfully infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,743,222 which is directed to acne
treatment, that our QYAG5 System willfully infringes U.S. Patent No. 5,312,395 which is
directed to treatment of pigmented lesions, and that our StarLux System with the LuxG
handpiece willfully infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,659,999 which is directed to wrinkle
treatment. On October 25, 2006, Candela filed an amended complaint which did not include
U.S. Patent No. 6,659,999. Consequently, Candela no longer alleges in this lawsuit that
the StarLux System with LuxG handpiece infringes its patents. With regard to the two
remaining patents, Candela is seeking to enjoin us from selling these products in the
United States if found to infringe the patents, and to obtain compensatory and treble
damages, reasonable costs and attorneys fees, and other relief as the court deems
just and proper. On October 30, 2006 we answered the complaint denying that our products
infringe the asserted patents and filing counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments that
the asserted patents are invalid and not infringed. In addition, with regard to U.S.
Patent No. 5,312,395, we filed a counter claim of inequitable conduct. Following a
scheduling hearing on January 18, 2007, the Judge set a partial discovery schedule but did
not yet set a date for a Markman Hearing. We are defending the action vigorously and
believe that we have meritorious defenses of non-infringement, invalidity and inequitable
conduct. However, litigation is unpredictable and we may not prevail in successfully
defending or asserting our position. If we do not prevail, we may be ordered to pay
substantial damages for past sales and an ongoing royalty for future sales of products
found to infringe in the United States. We could also be ordered to stop selling any
products in the United States that are found to infringe.


On
December 19, 2006, Candela Corporation commenced an action for patent infringement against
us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, seeking both
monetary damages and injunctive relief. The complaint alleges that our StarLux System with
the LuxY handpiece willfully infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,659,999 and that our StarLux
System with the Lux1540 handpiece willfully infringes related U.S. Patent Nos. 5,810,801
and 6,120,497. The three asserted patents are directed to wrinkle treatment. Candela is
seeking to enjoin us from selling these products in the United States if found to infringe
the patents, and to obtain compensatory and treble damages, reasonable costs and
attorneys fees, and other relief as the court deems just and proper. On January 10,
2007, we answered the complaint denying that our products infringe the asserted patents
and filing counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments that the asserted patents are
invalid and not infringed. On April 6, 2007, Candela filed their infringement contentions
which modified their complaint to accuse the Lux1540, Lux1540-Z, LuxIR, LuxDeepIR, LuxB,
LuxG and LuxY handpieces for use with the StarLux, StarLux 500, MediLux and EsteLux
Systems of infringing the three asserted patents. On July 13, 2007, we filed an amended
answer to Candelas first amended complaint including counter claim of inequitable
conduct. We are defending the action vigorously and believe that we have meritorious
defenses of non-infringement and invalidity. However, litigation is unpredictable and we
may not prevail in successfully defending or asserting our position. If we do not prevail,
we may be ordered to pay substantial damages for past sales and an ongoing royalty for
future sales of products found to infringe in the United States. We could also be ordered
to stop selling any products that are found to infringe in the United States.

Item 4.  Submission of matters to a vote of security holders

Palomars
Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on May 9, 2007 (the Annual
Meeting).  At the Annual Meeting, stockholders voted on three matters: 
the election of directors for a term of one year, the ratification of the appointment of
Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys registered public accounting firm and the
approval of the 2007 stock incentive plan. The stockholders elected managements
nominees as directors in an uncontested election, ratified the appointment of the
registered public accounting firm and approved the 2007 stock incentive plan by the
following votes, respectively:
