Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1: Basis of Presentation



In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to state fairly the financial information contained therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (the Company) for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 25, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.



All material intercompany balances have been eliminated.



Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with current year presentation.



Stock-Based Compensation



The Company measures stock-based compensation for option grants to employees and members of
the board of directors using the intrinsic value method. The fair value of each option grant for determining the pro forma impact of stock-based compensation expense is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
weighted average assumptions. These assumptions consist of expected dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life.



Had compensation expense for the Companys stock options and employee stock purchase plans been recognized based upon the fair value of awards granted, the
Companys net earnings would have been decreased to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 2: Acquisition of Pfizer Inc. Surgical Ophthalmic Business



On June 26, 2004, pursuant to a stock and asset purchase agreement dated as of April 21, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of Pfizer
Inc.s surgical ophthalmic business for $450 million in cash (Acquisition). Pfizers surgical ophthalmic business manufactured and marketed surgical devices for the eyes. The Company acquired ophthalmic surgical products and certain
manufacturing and research and development facilities located in Uppsala, Sweden, Groningen, Netherlands and Bangalore, India. The products acquired include the Healon line of viscoelastic products used in ocular surgery, the CeeOn and
Tecnisintraocular lenses and the Baerveldt glaucoma shunt. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination.

The intangible assets balance
decreased due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Amortization expense was $2.9 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and immaterial in the three months ended March 26, 2004 and is recorded in selling, general and
administrative in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense is expected to be $11.6 million in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and $10.8 million in 2009. Actual amortization expense may vary due to
the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

The decrease in goodwill is primarily
due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Note 4: Debt and Interest Rate Swap Agreement



At March 25, 2005, an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million of 21/2% convertible senior subordinated notes due July 15, 2024 (Notes), an aggregate principal amount of $8.6 million of
31/2% convertible senior subordinated notes due April 15, 2023 (Existing Notes), a balance of $7.5 million under
the senior revolving credit facility and a balance of $194.0 million on the term loan were outstanding. The Notes may be converted, at the option of the holders, on or prior to the final maturity date under certain circumstances, none of which had
occurred as of March 25, 2005. The Existing Notes are currently convertible at the option of the holders for the fiscal quarter ending June 24, 2005. Upon conversion of the Existing Notes, the Company has the right to deliver, in lieu of shares of
common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. Upon conversion of the Notes, the Company has irrevocably elected to satisfy in cash the conversion obligation with respect to the principal amount of the Notes, with any
remaining amount of the conversion obligation to be satisfied in shares of common stock. As a result of this election, the Company also is required to satisfy in cash its obligations to repurchase any Notes that holders may put to the Company on
January 15, 2010, July 15, 2014 and July 15, 2019.



At March 25,
2005, approximately $10.0 million of the senior revolving credit facility has been reserved to support letters of credit issued on the Companys behalf.



In January 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the senior credit facility to provide for an increase of $100.0 million in the revolving loan commitments and an
additional $100.0 million in term loan commitments. The Company expects to utilize this additional $200.0 million to fund certain transaction fees and the cash consideration portion of the proposed acquisition of VISX, Incorporated, which was
announced on November 9, 2004.



The $194.0 million term loan bears interest at
current market rates plus a 2.00% margin (4.84% per annum at March 25, 2005). The $7.5 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at current market rates plus a margin based upon the Companys ratio of debt to
EBITDA, as defined (4.84% per annum at March 25, 2005). The incremental interest margin on borrowings under the revolving credit facility decreases as the Companys ratio of debt to EBITDA decreases to specified levels. Under the senior credit
facility, certain transactions may trigger mandatory prepayment of borrowings, if any. Such transactions may include equity or debt offerings, certain asset sales and extraordinary receipts. The Company pays a quarterly fee (2.25% per annum at March
25, 2005) on the average balance of outstanding letters of credit and a quarterly commitment fee (0.50% per annum at March 25, 2005) on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.



The senior credit facility provides that the Company will maintain certain financial and
operating covenants which include, among other provisions, maintaining specific leverage and coverage ratios. Certain covenants under the senior credit facility and the indentures relating to the Notes and the Existing Notes may limit the incurrence
of additional indebtedness. The senior credit facility prohibits dividend payments. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 25, 2005.



As of March 25, 2005, the aggregate maturities of total long-term debt are as follows: $9.4 million in 2005; $2.0 million in 2006; $1.9 million in 2007; $94.6 million in
2008; $93.6 million in 2009; and $358.6 million after 2009.



In July 2004, the
Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which effectively converts the interest rate on $125.0 million of term loan borrowings from a floating rate to a fixed rate. This interest rate swap matures in July 2006 and qualifies as a cash
flow hedge. Changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent such changes are effective and as long as the cash flow hedge requirements are met. At March 25, 2005, the fair
value of $1.3 million of the interest rate swap is recorded in Other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.



In April 2005, the Company realized the value of the interest rate swap agreement. The Company received approximately $0.8 million and included the related gain of
approximately $0.8 million, which includes the accrued but unpaid net amount between the Company and the swap counterparty, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.



On April 14, 2005, the Company exchanged approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock for $3.0 million principal amount of Existing
Notes in a privately negotiated transaction and recorded a non-cash charge of $0.5 million representing the fair value of shares issued as a premium.



Note 5: Related Party Transactions



Under a manufacturing agreement, Allergan, Inc. (Allergan) manufactures certain eye care products and VITRAX viscoelastics for a period of up to three years from
the date of the June 29, 2002 spin-off. The Company purchases these products from Allergan at a price equal to Allergans fully allocated costs plus 10%. During the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, the Company purchased
$20.1 million and $19.4 million, respectively, of product from Allergan. On an annual basis, a pricing true up calculation is to be performed during the first calendar quarter. This true up calculation is based upon the
actual volume of products shipped by Allergan to AMO during the preceding year versus the forecasted volume submitted by AMO that was used to calculate the invoiced prices. During the year, the Company periodically reviews the volume of purchases
and accrues for estimated shortfalls, if any. In each of March 2005 and 2004, we made a payment of $0.2 million to Allergan based upon the true up calculations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



As of March 25, 2005, an interest-free relocation loan of $0.5 million, collateralized by real property, was due from the chief executive
officer. This relocation loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated July 3, 2002, prior to the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.



Note 6: Earnings Per Share



Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average
outstanding shares, assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive convertible securities, stock options and stock purchase plan awards.



The following represents a reconciliation from basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Note
8: Business Segment Information



The Company has organized its operations into
four geographic operating segments or regions: the Americas, which is comprised of North and South America, Europe/Africa/Middle East, Japan and Asia Pacific (excluding Japan, but including Australia and New Zealand).



The United States information is presented separately as it is the Companys
headquarters country, and U.S. sales represented 24.4% and 25.6% of total net sales in the quarters ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. Additionally, sales in Japan represented 21.0% and 24.5% of total net sales in the quarters
ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. No other country, or single customer, generated over 10% of total net sales.



Operating income attributable to each operating segment is based upon the management assignment of costs to such regions, which includes the manufacturing
standard cost of goods produced by the Companys manufacturing operations (or the cost to acquire goods from third parties), freight, duty and local distribution costs, and royalties. The Company uses other measures of segment performance,
whereby the impact of non-recurring acquisition related costs are excluded. The Company presents the measure which management believes is determined in accordance with the measurement principles consistent with those used in measuring the
corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



Income from manufacturing operations is not assigned to geographic regions because most manufacturing operations produce products for more
than one region. Research and development costs are corporate costs.



Balances
of identifiable assets attributable to each operating segments are materially consistent with December 31, 2004 balances.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies



On December 3, 2003, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Alcon, Inc. and Alcon
Laboratories, Inc. for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,700,240 (Barwick Patent) and 6,059,765 (Cole/Sutton Patent). The Company alleged that Alcons Infiniti and Series 2000 Legacy phacoemulsification machines
infringe the patents. The Company is seeking damages and a permanent injunction. On March 28, 2005, the court denied three motions by Alcon for summary judgment to dismiss the lawsuit, two with respect to the Cole/Sutton Patent and one relating to
the Barwick Patent. The court also denied a motion by Alcon for partial summary judgment that AMO is not entitled to lost profits. On March 28, 2005, the court also issued its claim construction ruling on disputed patent claim language in the
Barwick and Cole/Sutton Patents. The trial of this matter began April 25, 2005.



On January 28, 2004, Alcon Manufacturing, Ltd. filed a complaint against AMO and Allergan, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,832,685 and 4,935,005
(Haines Patents). Alcon alleged that AMOs Prestige and Sovereign phacoemulsification systems and replacement cassettes infringe the patents. Alcon is seeking damages and a permanent injunction. At Alcons request the case
has been stayed in Texas while Alcon seeks re-examination by the U.S.P.T.O. on the Haines Patents in light of another patent the Company alleges invalidates the Haines Patents.



On January 4, 2005, Dr. James Nielsen filed a complaint against the Company and Allergan, Inc. in the U.S. District Court of the Northern
District of Texas, Dallas Division, for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,158,572. Dr. Nielsen alleges that the Companys Arraymultifocal intraocular lens infringes the patent. He is seeking damages and a permanent injunction.



While the Company is involved from time to time in litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business, including product liability claims, the Company is not currently aware of any other actions against AMO or Allergan relating to the optical medical device business that the Company believes would have a material adverse
effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company may be subject to future litigation and infringement claims, which could cause the Company to incur significant expenses or prevent the
Company from selling its products. The Company operates in an industry susceptible to significant product liability claims. Product liability claims may be asserted against AMO in the future arising out of events not known to the Company at the
present time. Under the terms of the contribution and distribution agreement effecting the spin-off, Allergan agreed to assume responsibility for, and to indemnify AMO against, all current and future litigation relating to its retained businesses
and the Company agreed to assume responsibility for, and to indemnify Allergan against, all current and future litigation related to the optical medical device business.

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

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 25, 2005



The following discussion and analysis presents the factors that had a material effect on AMOs cash flows and results of operations during the three months ended
March 25, 2005, and the Companys financial position at that date. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Our actual results may
differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the subsection entitled Certain Factors and Trends Affecting AMO
and Its Businesses. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2004 Form 10-K and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.



OVERVIEW



We are a global leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of medical devices for
the eye and contact lens care products. Our products in the ophthalmic surgical market include intraocular lenses, phacoemulsification systems, viscoelastics and surgical packs used in cataract surgery, and microkeratomes used in refractive surgery.
Our eye care products include disinfecting solutions to destroy harmful microorganisms in and on the surface of contact lenses, daily cleaners to remove undesirable film and deposits from contact lenses, enzymatic cleaners to remove protein deposits
from contact lenses, lens rewetting drops to provide added wearing comfort, and contact lenses.



We have operations in approximately 20 countries, sell our products in approximately 60 countries and have organized our operations into four regions:



| |  |  | Americas (North and South America);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | Europe, Africa and Middle East;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | Japan; and

Pending Acquisition of VISX, Incorporated



On November 9, 2004, we entered into an agreement with VISX, Incorporated (VISX), the global leader in laser vision correction, to acquire VISX for a combination of cash
and stock with an estimated value of approximately $1.3 billion on the announcement date. VISX manufactures excimer laser systems, associated diagnostic devices, and treatment cards. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, VISX stockholders are
expected to receive 0.552 shares of our common stock and $3.50 in cash for every share of VISX common stock they own. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2005.



Acquisition of Pfizer Inc. Surgical Ophthalmic Business



On June 26, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the Pfizer Inc. surgical ophthalmic
business for $450 million in cash (Acquisition). We acquired ophthalmic surgical products and certain manufacturing and research and development facilities located in Uppsala, Sweden, Groningen, Netherlands and Bangalore, India. The products
acquired include the Healonline of viscoelastic products used in ocular surgery, the CeeOnand Tecnis intraocular lenses and the Baerveldtglaucoma shunt. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business
combination. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at the date of acquisition, at their respective fair values. Our reported financial position and results of operations after June 26,
2004 reflect these values.



Purchases from Allergan



Under a manufacturing agreement, Allergan, Inc. (Allergan) manufactures certain eye care
products and VITRAX viscoelastics for a period of up to three years from the date of the June 29, 2002 spin-off. We purchase these products from Allergan at a price equal to Allergans fully allocated costs plus 10%. During the three
months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, we purchased $20.1 million and $19.4 million, respectively, of product from Allergan. On an annual basis, a pricing true up calculation is to be performed during the first calendar quarter.
This true up calculation is based upon the actual volume of products shipped by Allergan to us during the preceding year versus the forecasted volume submitted by us that was used to calculate the invoiced prices. During the year, we
periodically review the volume of purchases and accrue for estimated shortfalls, if any. In each of March 2005 and 2004, we made a payment of $0.2 million to Allergan based upon the true up calculations for the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES



Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable



Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. We record revenue from product sales when title and risk of ownership has been transferred to the customer, which is typically upon
delivery to the customer, with the exception of intraocular lenses distributed on a consignment basis, which is upon notification of implantation in a patient.



We generally permit returns of product if such product is returned in a timely matter, in good condition, and through the normal channels of distribution. Return
policies in certain international markets can be more stringent and are based on the terms of contractual agreements with the customers. Allowances for returns are provided for based upon an analysis of our historical patterns of returns matched
against the sales from which they originated. To date, historical product returns have been within our estimates.



When we recognize revenue from the sale of our products, certain allowances known and estimable at time of sale are recorded as a reduction to sales. These items include
cash discounts, allowances and rebates. These items are reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable to the extent the customer will or is expected to reduce its payment on the related invoice amounts. In addition, certain items such as rebates
provided to customers that meet certain buying targets are paid to the customer subsequent to customer payment. Thus, such amounts are recorded as accrued liabilities. These provisions are estimated based on historical payment experience, historical
relationship to revenues and estimated customer inventory levels. If the historical data and inventory estimates used to calculate these provisions do not properly reflect future activity, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows
could be impacted. To date, historical sales allowances have been within our estimates.



The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by analyzing specific customer accounts and assessing the risk of uncollectibility based on insolvency, disputes or other collection issues. In addition, we routinely analyze the different
aging categories and establish allowances based on the length of time receivables are past due.



Inventories



Inventories are valued at
the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. On a regular basis, we evaluate inventory balances for excess quantities and obsolescence by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels and other information. Based on these
evaluations, inventory balances are reduced, if necessary.



Goodwill and
Long-Lived Assets



On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, whereby goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead is subject to a periodic impairment review performed during the second quarter of each fiscal year. In a business
combination, goodwill is allocated to our various reporting units, which are the same as our reportable operating segments based on relative fair value of the asset acquired and liabilities assumed. As our operations are composed of four reporting
units (Americas, Europe/Africa/Middle East, Japan and Asia Pacific), we review the recoverability of goodwill by comparing each units fair value to the net book value of its assets. If the book value of the reporting units assets exceeds
its fair value, the goodwill is written down to its implied fair value.



Additionally, we review the carrying amount of goodwill whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits,
historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit and adverse legal or regulatory developments. If it is determined that such indicators are present and the review indicates that goodwill will not be fully recoverable, based upon
discounted estimated cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value. Estimated fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.



In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, we assess potential impairment to our long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If required, an
impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the assets.

##### Table of Contents

Income Taxes



We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We evaluate the need to establish a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based upon the amount of existing temporary differences, the period in which they are expected to be recovered and expected levels of taxable income. A valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets is
established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.



Stock-Based Compensation



We measure stock-based compensation for option grants to employees and members of the board of directors using the intrinsic value method. The fair value of each option
grant for determining the pro forma impact of stock-based compensation expense is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with weighted average assumptions. These assumptions consist of expected dividend yield,
expected volatility, expected life, and risk-free interest rate. If the assumptions used to calculate the value of each option grant do not properly reflect future activity, the weighted average fair value of our grants could be impacted.

We have organized our operations into
four regions: the Americas, which is comprised of North and South America, Europe/Africa/Middle East, Japan and Asia Pacific.



Net sales increased by $42.2 million, or 28.1%, to $192.5 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 from $150.3 million in the three months ended March 26, 2004.
The increase in net sales was the result of sales of products acquired in the Acquisition and favorable foreign currency changes. Net sales of acquired products approximated $40.2 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 compared to $32.8
million in the three months ended March 28, 2004 (prior to the Acquisition). Foreign currency fluctuations, particularly related to the Japanese yen and the euro, increased sales by $5.6 million, or 3.7%, as compared to average rates in effect in
2004. Our sales and earnings may be negatively impacted during times of a strengthening U.S. dollar.

##### Table of Contents

The U.S. information is presented separately as it is our headquarters country, and U.S. sales represented 24.4% and
25.6% of total net sales in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. Additionally, sales in Japan represented 21.0% and 24.5% of total net sales in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004,
respectively. No other country, or any single customer, generated over 10% of total net sales in the periods.



Net sales in the Americas, including the United States, increased $10.3 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 from the three months ended March 26 2004, and such increase was comprised of a $8.6 million
increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products and a $1.7 million increase in sales of eye care products. Net sales in the Americas include the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $0.5 million. The increase in sales of ophthalmic
surgical products includes $10.9 million in sales of acquired products, including the Healon family of viscoelastics and Tecnis intraocular lenses, partially offset by a decrease in sales of phacoemulsification products and a decrease
in sales of non-promoted older-technology intraocular lenses. The increase in sales of eye care products was primarily due to an increase in sales of Complete branded products.



Net sales in Europe/Africa/Middle East increased $19.1 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 from the three months ended March 26
2004, and such increase was comprised of a $18.9 million increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products and a $0.2 million increase in sales of eye care products. Net sales in Europe/Africa/Middle East include the favorable impact of foreign
currency fluctuations of $3.5 million primarily due to the strengthening of the euro versus the U.S. dollar. The increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products includes $18.0 million in sales of acquired products, including the Healon
family of viscoelastics and Tecnis and CeeOn intraocular lenses partially offset by a decrease in sales of non-promoted older-technology intraocular lenses. Ophthalmic surgical products sales were also negatively impacted by a slight
reduction in government reimbursement rates for certain intraocular lenses and viscoelastics.



Net sales in Japan increased $3.6 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 from the three months ended March 26 2004, and such increase was comprised of a $7.7 million increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical
products and a $4.1 million decrease in sales of eye care products. Net sales in Japan include the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $1.3 million resulting from the strengthening of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. The
increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products includes $7.9 million in sales of acquired products, including the Healon family of viscoelastics, partially offset by decreased sales of non-promoted older-technology intraocular lenses. The
decrease in sales of eye care products was primarily due to a decrease in sales of hydrogen peroxide-based products and private-label multipurpose products due to market penetration of lower-priced competitor products.



Net sales in Asia Pacific increased $9.2 million in three months ended March 25, 2005 from
the three months ended March 26 2004, and such increase was comprised of a $5.2 million increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products and a $4.0 million increase in sales of eye care products. Net sales in Asia Pacific include the favorable
impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $0.3 million. The increase in sales of ophthalmic surgical products includes $3.4 million in sales of acquired products, including the Healon family of viscoelastics andTecnis andCeeOn intraocular lenses, and increased sales of the Sensar intraocular lens and phacoemulsification products. The increase in sales of eye care products was primarily due to an increase in sales of Complete branded products and
hydrogen peroxide-based products.



Global sales of our ophthalmic surgical
products increased by $40.4 million, or 51.6%, from the three months ended March 26, 2004 to the three months ended March 25, 2005. Sales of our ophthalmic surgical products increased primarily due to sales of acquired products of $40.2 million,
including the Healon family of viscoelastics, the Tecnis and CeeOn intraocular lenses and Baerveldt glaucoma shunts, and favorable currency changes. Foreign currency fluctuations in the three months ended March 25, 2005
increased international ophthalmic surgical sales by $3.3 million, or 4.2%, as compared to average rates in effect in the three months ended March 26, 2004. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, ophthalmic surgical product
sales were negatively impacted by the reduction in government reimbursement rates and decreased sales of non-promoted older-technology intraocular lenses. We believe that global sales of ophthalmic surgical products will continue to grow due to our
continued promotion of acquired products, including the Healon family of viscoelastics, the Tecnis intraocular lens and the Baerveldt glaucoma shunt and increased sales of our Sensar intraocular lens. We expect this
growth to be partially offset by decreased sales of our non-promoted older-technology intraocular lenses as we continue our strategy of promoting our higher-technology intraocular lenses, theTecnis and Sensar brands.



Global sales of our eye care products increased by $1.8 million, or 2.5%, from
the three months ended March 26, 2004 to the three months ended March 25, 2005. Sales of our eye care products increased primarily due to increased sales of Complete branded products and favorable currency changes partially offset by
decreased sales of hydrogen peroxide-based products. Foreign currency fluctuations in the three months ended March 25, 2005 increased international eye care sales by $2.3 million, or 3.3%, as compared to average rates in effect in the three months
ended March 26, 2004. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, eye care sales in Japan were negatively impacted by the market penetration of lower-priced competitor products. In the future, we expect global sales of our eye
care products will continue to experience moderate growth due to increased sales of our Complete branded products and continued sales growth in Asia Pacific, partially offset by decreased eye care sales in Japan.

Gross margin. Our gross margin percentage increased as a percent of net sales by 3.1 percentage points to 63.4% in
the three months ended March 25, 2005 from 60.3% in the three months ended March 26, 2004. The increase in gross margin as a percent of net sales was primarily due to sales growth in the higher margin Complete branded line of eye care
products and sales of the Healon family of viscoelastics. In addition, the 2004 period was negatively impacted by pre-production costs incurred at our manufacturing facility in Madrid, Spain, as well as expansion of our manufacturing facility
in Hangzhou, China. In 2005, we expect our gross margin percentage to be favorably impacted as we fully transition manufacturing of our eye care products from Allergan and continue to shift our sales mix to higher margin products, including the
Healon family of viscoelastics and the TecnisandSensar intraocular lenses.



Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of net sales by 3.8 percentage points to 43.5% in the three months ended March 25, 2005 from 47.3% in the
three months ended March 26, 2004. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was primarily due to the higher net sales associated with the Acquisition and our promoted products and continued leveraging of
our global cost structure.



Upon completion of the acquisition of VISX, we
expect to incur significant costs as we integrate VISX into our existing domestic and international operations.



Research and development. Research and development expenditures increased as a percent of net sales by 0.4 percentage points to 6.4% in the three months ended
March 25, 2005 from 6.0% in the three months ended March 26, 2004. The increase in research and development expenditures as a percentage of net sales was primarily the result of an increase in spending for research efforts in the ophthalmic surgical
business. In 2005, we expect to bring to market various new products such as the Tecnis acrylic and ReZoom intraocular lenses and a new viscoelastic in the U.S. and several new eye care products in Japan.



Upon completion of the acquisition of VISX, we expect to incur an in-process research and
development charge of approximately $453.0 million representing the fair value of projects and technologies which have no alternative future use and which have not reached technological feasibility at the date of the acquisition. A final
determination of fair value, which can not be made prior to the completion of the acquisition, may differ materially from the preliminary estimate and will include managements final valuation of the fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.



Operating income. Operating income was $25.9
million or 13.5 percent of net sales and $10.5 million or 7.0 percent of net sales in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively.



Non-operating expense. Interest expense was $5.8 million and $3.7 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. The increased
interest expense was due to a higher debt balance as a result of the Acquisition and a higher weighted average interest rate. We expect interest expense to be higher in 2005 as compared to 2004 due to the additional debt incurred to finance the
Acquisition as well as the additional $200.0 million of debt expected to be incurred to fund certain transaction fees and the cash consideration portion of the proposed acquisition of VISX. Additionally, we recorded an unrealized gain on derivative
instruments of $0.5 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 compared to an unrealized gain of $0.3 million in the three months ended March 26, 2004. We record as unrealized gain/loss on derivative instruments the mark to market
adjustments on the outstanding foreign currency options which we enter into as part of our overall risk management strategy to reduce the volatility of expected earnings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Other non-operating income included
$0.6 million and $1.0 million of foreign exchange gains in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively.



Income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 25, 2005 was 34.0% compared to the effective tax rate of 36.0% for the three months ended
March 26, 2004. The lower rate in 2005 reflects continuing implementation of our long-term tax strategies. Our future effective income tax rate may vary depending on our mix of domestic and international taxable income or loss and the various tax
and treasury methodologies that we implement, including our policy regarding repatriation of future accumulated foreign earnings.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Management assesses our liquidity by our ability to generate cash to fund operations. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are: funds generated by
operations; levels of accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and capital expenditures; adequate lines of credit; and financial flexibility to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms. As of March 25, 2005, we had cash and
equivalents of $25.9 million.



Historically, we have generated cash from
operations in excess of working capital requirements, and we expect to do so in the future. The net cash used in operating activities was $18.6 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$3.9 million in the three months ended March 26, 2004. Operating cash flow decreased in the three months ended March 25, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 26, 2004 primarily as a result of the increase in accounts receivable and

##### Table of Contents

inventories and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily
due to increased sales activities as a result of the Acquisition. The increase in inventories is primarily due to a build up of bridging stock as we prepare for the transition of eye care manufacturing from Allergan. The decrease in
accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to the payment of year-end expenditures including annual incentive compensation and the first interest payment on the 21⁄2% convertible senior subordinated notes. Additionally, in February
2004, we received approximately $4.7 million from Allergan. This payment ended a dispute between us and Allergan regarding the ownership of a certain value added tax receivable due from France.



Net cash used in investing activities was $10.5 million and $4.9 million in the three months
ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. Expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $2.3 million and $3.1 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. Expenditures in the three months
ended March 25, 2005 are primarily comprised of expansion and remodeling of our leased headquarters, expenditures at the acquired manufacturing facilities and computer replacements. Expenditures in the three months ended March 26, 2004 are primarily
comprised of expansion of our manufacturing facilities and construction of research and development facilities at our leased headquarters. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures with respect to the Uppsala, Sweden manufacturing facility
during the next two years in order to separate the facility from existing Pfizer operations. Expenditures for demonstration (demo) and bundled equipment, primarily phacoemulsification and microkeratome surgical equipment, were $3.1 million and $1.7
million in the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. We maintain demo and bundled equipment to facilitate future sales of similar equipment and related products to our customers. Expenditures for capitalized
internal-use software were $5.2 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005, which are primarily comprised of a company wide system upgrade as part of the overall expansion of our business. Expenditures for capitalized internal-use software
were $0.1 million in the three months ended March 26, 2004. We capitalize internal-use software cost after technical feasibility has been established. In 2005, we expect to invest approximately $65.0 million to $70.0 million in property, plant and
equipment, demo and bundled equipment, and capitalized software as part of the overall expansion of our business.



Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.4 million in the three months ended March 25, 2005, which was comprised of $7.5 million of borrowings under the senior
revolving credit facility and $1.3 million of proceeds from the sale of stock to employees, reduced by $2.4 million of financing related costs. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 26, 2004, which
was primarily comprised of $1.2 million of long-term debt repayments offset by $1.1 million from the sale of stock to employees.



At March 25, 2005, approximately $10.0 million of the senior credit facility has been reserved to support letters of credit issued on our behalf with the remainder
available for future borrowings.



In January 2005, we entered into an amendment
to our senior credit facility to provide for an increase of $100.0 million in the revolving loan commitments and an additional $100.0 million in term loan commitments. We expect to utilize this additional $200.0 million to fund certain transaction
fees and the cash consideration portion of the proposed acquisition of VISX, which we announced on November 9, 2004.



The senior credit facility provides that we will maintain certain financial and operating covenants which include, among other provisions, maintaining specific leverage
and interest coverage ratios. Certain covenants under the senior credit facility and the indenture relating to the senior subordinated notes also limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The senior credit facility prohibits cash dividend
payments. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 25, 2005.



On
April 14, 2005, we exchanged approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock for $3.0 million principal amount of Existing Notes in a privately negotiated transaction and recorded a non-cash charge of $0.5 million representing the fair value of
shares issued as a premium.



Our cash position includes amounts denominated in
foreign currencies, and the repatriation of those cash balances from some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries may result in additional tax costs. However, these cash balances are generally available without legal restriction to fund ordinary business
operations.



We believe that the net cash provided by our operating activities,
supplemented as necessary with borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and existing cash and equivalents, will provide sufficient resources to provide the required funding for the proposed acquisition of VISX, to fund the expected
2005 capital expenditures, and to meet our working capital requirements, debt service and other cash needs over the next year.



We are partially dependent upon the reimbursement policies of government and private health insurance companies. Government and private sector initiatives to limit the
growth of health care costs, including price regulation and competitive pricing, are continuing in many countries where we do business. As a result of these changes, the marketplace has placed increased emphasis on the delivery of more
cost-effective medical therapies. While we have been unaware of significant price resistance resulting from the trend toward cost containment, changes in reimbursement policies and other reimbursement methodologies and payment levels could have an
adverse effect on our pricing flexibility.

Additionally, the current trend among U.S. hospitals and other customers of medical device manufacturers is to
consolidate into larger purchasing groups to enhance purchasing power. The enhanced purchasing power of these larger customers may also increase the pressure on product pricing, although we are unable to estimate the potential impact at this time.



Inflation. Although at reduced levels in recent years, inflation may cause
upward pressure on the cost of goods and services used by us. The competitive and regulatory environments in many markets substantially limit our ability to fully recover these higher costs through increased selling prices. We continually seek to
mitigate the adverse effects of inflation through cost containment and improved productivity and manufacturing processes.



Foreign currency fluctuations. Approximately 76% of our revenues for the three months ended March 25, 2005 were derived from operations outside the United States and a
significant portion of our cost structure is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Japanese yen and the euro. Therefore, we are subject to fluctuations in sales and earnings reported in U.S. dollars as a result of
changing currency exchange rates.



The impact of foreign currency fluctuations
on sales was a $5.6 million and a $12.1 million increase for the three months ended March 25, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively. The sales increases were due primarily to a strengthening of the Japanese yen and the euro versus the U.S. dollar.



Contractual obligations.The following represents a list of our
material contractual obligations and commitments as of March 25, 2005:

NEW
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS



In November 2004, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151), was issued. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect adoption of this standard to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. Under
Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. SFAS No. 123R requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). SFAS No. 123R is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We have not quantified the potential effect of adoption of SFAS No. 123R. However, we
believe adoption of SFAS No. 123R will result in a decrease to our reporting earnings.



In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004 (FAS No. 109-1). The American Jobs Creation Act, or AJCA, introduces a special 9% tax deduction on qualified production activities. FAS No. 109-1 clarifies that this tax deduction should be accounted for as a special tax
deduction in accordance with Statement 109. Although FAS No. 109-1 is effective immediately, we have not completed our analysis and do not expect to be able to complete our analysis until after Congress or the Treasury Department provide additional
clarifying language on the key elements of the provision. Based on our analysis to date, we do not expect the adoption of FAS No. 109-1 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-2, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the
Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (FAS No. 109-2). The AJCA introduces a limited time 85% dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer
(repatriation provision), provided certain criteria are met. FAS No. 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision. Although FAS No. 109-2 is effective immediately, we have not completed our analysis and do not
expect to be able to complete our evaluation of the repatriation provision until after Congress or the Treasury Department provides additional clarifying language on key elements of the provision. As such, we are not in a position to decide whether
and to what extent, if any, our foreign earnings will be designated for this treatment. The related potential range of the income tax effect, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We expect to finalize our assessment by the end of the
fiscal third quarter 2005.



CERTAIN FACTORS AND TRENDS AFFECTING AMO AND ITS BUSINESS



Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking information about our companys financial results and estimates, business prospects and future products that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These
statements constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release
to the public. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as
anticipate, estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, will, and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of
future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses,
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, financial results, and the expected timing or results of our expected acquisition of VISX, Incorporated. Among the factors that could cause actual

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized. Achievement of
future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and
those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.



We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to
consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Form 10-K filing for the 2004 fiscal year listed various important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Item 1 of that filing under the heading Certain
Factors and Trends Affecting AMO and Its Businesses. We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and encourage investors to refer to it. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.
Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.



Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



We routinely monitor our risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates. We address these risks through controlled risk management that may include the use of derivative financial
instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. We do not expect to enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.



Given the inherent limitations of forecasting and the anticipatory nature of the exposures intended to be hedged, there can be no assurance that such programs will offset
more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in either interest or foreign exchange rates. In addition, the timing of the accounting for recognition of gains and losses related to mark-to-market
instruments for any given period may not coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may adversely affect our operating results and financial position.



To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of our interest rate and foreign exchange hedge
positions, we continually monitor, from an accounting and economic perspective, our interest rate swap positions and foreign exchange forward and option positions, when applicable, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with our underlying
interest rate and foreign currency exposures.



Interest rate risk. At
March 25, 2005, our debt is comprised solely of domestic borrowings and is comprised of $358.6 million of fixed rate debt and $201.5 million of variable rate debt.



In July 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which effectively converts the interest rate on $125.0 million of term loan
borrowings from a floating rate to a fixed rate. This interest rate swap matures in July 2006 and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. Changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement are recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent such
changes are effective and as long as the cash flow hedge requirements are met. At March 25, 2005, the fair value of $1.3 million of the interest rate swap is recorded in Other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
balance sheet.



In April 2005, we realized the value of the interest rate swap
agreement. We received approximately $0.8 million and included the related gain of approximately $0.8 million, which includes the accrued but unpaid net amount between us and the swap counterparty, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income.

Foreign currency risk.Overall,
we are a net recipient of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, we benefit from a weaker dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in
particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may negatively affect our consolidated net sales and gross profit as expressed in U.S. dollars.

##### Table of Contents

We may enter into foreign exchange option and forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated
with foreign exchange rate changes to allow management to focus its attention on its core business operations. Accordingly, we enter into contracts which change in value as foreign exchange rates change to economically offset the effect of changes
in value of foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and operating expenses. We enter into foreign exchange option contracts in amounts between minimum and maximum anticipated foreign
exchange exposures, generally for periods not to exceed one year.



We use
foreign currency option contracts, which provide for the sale of foreign currencies to offset foreign currency exposures expected to arise in the normal course of our business. While these instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, such
fluctuations are anticipated to offset changes in the value of the underlying exposures. The principal currencies subject to this process are the Japanese yen and the euro.



The foreign currency options are entered into to reduce the volatility of earnings generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar,
primarily earnings denominated in the Japanese yen and the euro. As a result, the changes in the fair value of foreign currency option contracts are recorded through earnings as Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments while any
realized gains or losses on expired contracts are recorded through earnings as Other, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The premium cost of purchased foreign exchange option contracts are
recorded in Other current assets and amortized over the life of the options.



At March 25, 2005, the aggregate notional amounts and strike amounts of our outstanding yen and euro currency option contracts were $53.9 million and 115.00 and $44.9 million and 1.15, respectively. At December 31,
2004, the aggregate notional amounts and strike amounts of our outstanding yen and euro currency option contracts were $67.3 million and 114.42 and $56.9 million and 1.15, respectively. The notional principal amount provides one measure of the
transaction volume outstanding as of the end of the period, and does not represent the amount of our exposure to market loss. The fair value of these foreign currency option contracts was $0.2 million at March 25, 2005 and $0.1 million at December
31, 2004, respectively. The estimate of fair value is based on applicable and commonly used prevailing financial market information as of March 25, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of these
financial instruments, together with the gains and losses on the underlying exposures, will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



As of the end of the
period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) are effective. In addition, our management evaluated our internal control over financial reporting and there have been no changes during the fiscal quarter ended March 25, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1. Legal Proceedings



On December 3, 2003, we
filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Alcon, Inc. and Alcon Laboratories, Inc. for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,700,240 (Barwick Patent) and 6,059,765 (Cole/Sutton Patent). We alleged that
Alcons Infiniti and Series 2000 Legacy phacoemulsification machines infringe the patents. We are seeking damages and a permanent injunction. On March 28, 2005, the court denied three motions by Alcon for summary
judgment to dismiss the lawsuit, two with respect to the Cole/Sutton Patent and one relating to the Barwick Patent. The court also denied a motion by Alcon for partial summary judgment that AMO is not entitled to lost profits. On March 28, 2005, the
court also issued its claim construction ruling on disputed patent claim language in the Barwick and Cole/Sutton Patents. The trial of this matter began April 25, 2005.



On January 28, 2004, Alcon Manufacturing, Ltd. filed a complaint against us and Allergan, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,832,685 and 4,935,005 (Haines Patents). Alcon alleged that our Prestige and Sovereign phacoemulsification systems and replacement cassettes infringe the
patents. Alcon is seeking damages and a permanent injunction. At Alcons request the case has been stayed in Texas while Alcon seeks re-examination by the U.S.P.T.O. on the Haines Patents in light of another patent we allege invalidates the
Haines Patents.



On January 4, 2005, Dr. James Nielsen filed a complaint
against us and Allergan, Inc. in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,158,572. Dr. Nielsen alleges that our Arraymultifocal intraocular lens infringes the patent.
He is seeking damages and a permanent injunction.

##### Table of Contents

While we are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including product
liability claims, we are not currently aware of any other actions against us or Allergan relating to the optical medical device business that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows. We may be subject to future litigation and infringement claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. We operate in an industry susceptible to significant product liability claims.
Product liability claims may be asserted against us in the future arising out of events not known to us at the present time. Under the terms of the contribution and distribution agreement effecting our spin-off, Allergan agreed to assume
responsibility for, and to indemnify us against, all current and future litigation relating to its retained businesses and we agreed to assume responsibility for, and to indemnify Allergan against, all current and future litigation related to the
optical medical device business.
