Advanced Medical Optics, Inc.Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1:  Description of Business

On January 22,
2002, Allergan, Inc. (Allergan) announced a plan to spin off its optical medical device business consisting of the ophthalmic surgical and contact lens care product business lines to Allergan stockholders. The 28,723,512 shares of the new optical
medical device company, Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO or the Company), were distributed on June 29, 2002 to Allergan stockholders of record on June 14, 2002 by means of a tax-free dividend. The distribution resulted in AMO operating as an
independent entity with publicly traded common stock.

Allergan has no ownership interest in AMO after June 28, 2002, but performs certain services for AMO pursuant to various agreements that are
outlined in Note 8.  However, unless released by third parties, Allergan may remain liable for certain obligations and liabilities that were transferred to and assumed by AMO.  The Company is obligated to indemnify Allergan for liabilities
related to those transferred obligations and liabilities.

No earnings per share data for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001 and the nine months ended September 27, 2002 is presented
as the Companys earnings were part of Allergans earnings through the close of business on June 28, 2002.

The Company develops, manufactures and markets surgical devices for the eyes,
with a focus on devices that are used to perform cataract surgery, a surgery in which the natural focusing lens of the eye, having become hard and clouded, is broken up and removed and subsequently replaced with an artificial lens.  The Company
also offers a broad range of contact lens care products for use with virtually all available types of contact lens.  These 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 and lens rewetting drops to provide added wearing comfort.

The Company has operations in approximately 20 countries and sells its products in approximately 60 countries.

Note 2:  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 present 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 combined financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2002.

Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Prior to the
spin-off, Allergan did not account for the business that comprises AMO on the basis of separate legal entities, subsidiaries, divisions or segments. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and
for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2001 and through June 28, 2002 include those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to AMOs operations and allocations of certain Allergan corporate assets,
liabilities and expenses to AMO. These amounts have been allocated to AMO on the basis that was considered by Allergan management to reflect most fairly or reasonably the utilization of the services provided to or the benefit obtained by the
Company. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated.  The financial information included herein does not necessarily reflect what the financial position and results of operations of the Company would have been had it operated as a
stand-alone public entity during all pre-spinoff periods presented, and may not be indicative of future operations or financial position.

The Company has estimated that it will incur
incremental annual pre-tax costs of approximately $58 million associated with being an independent public company in excess of amounts recorded prior to the spin-off.

Note
3:  Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In July 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141), was issued. SFAS No. 141
required that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also required the Company to evaluate its
existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition of intangibles apart from
goodwill.

Additionally, in July 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), was issued and is effective for all
periods of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 (January 1, 2002 for the Company). SFAS No. 142 establishes accounting and reporting standards for intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives be evaluated annually for impairment rather than amortized. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company is also required to test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment within the first interim period
with any impairment loss being recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, SFAS No. 142 requires the
Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this, the Company must identify its reporting units and
determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including

the existing
goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company then has up to six months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting units
carrying amount. To the extent a reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting units goodwill may be impaired.

The Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 141 on June 30, 2001 and SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, effective with Allergans adoption of the new accounting standard. Allergans adoption did not result in a negative impact on Allergans consolidated
financial statements.

The Company has completed a separate assessment of goodwill and intangibles on a stand-alone basis as of June 29, 2002.  The Companys separate assessment did not
result in a negative impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The components of amortizable intangibles and goodwill were as follows:

Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002  was
approximately $103,000 and $257,000, respectively.  Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001 was approximately $76,000 and $230,000, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for years ending December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and thereafter are $360,000, $433,000, $404,000, $177,000, $99,000 and $50,000, respectively.

There was no activity related to goodwill during the nine months ended September 27, 2002, except
for the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

In October 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), was issued. SFAS No. 144 superseded Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting
and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations  Reporting the effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for
the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 retained the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extended that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified
as held for sale. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In April 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS No. 145) was
issued.  SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect.  Upon adoption of SFAS No.
145, the Company is required to apply the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions (Opinion No. 30), in determining the classification of gains and losses resulting from the extinguishment of debt.  SFAS No. 145 is effective for annual periods beginning after May 15, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. 
The Company elected to early-adopt SFAS No. 145 during the quarter ended June 28, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS 145 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Note 5:  Debt, Interest Rate Swap Agreements and Guarantor Subsidiaries

At September 27, 2002, the Company had
$197.3 million, net of $2.7 million of original issue discount, of 9-1/4% senior subordinated notes due July 15, 2010 outstanding.  In addition, the Company has a senior credit facility, consisting of an initial $100.0 million term loan and a
$35.0 million revolving line of credit.  The Company repaid $3.0 million of the term loan resulting in an outstanding balance of $97.0 million as of September 27, 2002.  Approximately $17.7 million of the revolving line of credit has been
reserved to support letters of credit issued on the Companys behalf.

A portion of the proceeds from the senior subordinated notes and the term loan were used to repay debt in Japan in June
2002.  As a result of the prepayment of the Japan debt and the adoption of SFAS No. 145, $3.5 million of early debt extinguishment costs were incurred and are recorded in Other, net on the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 27, 2002.

The senior credit facility provides that the Company 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 and restrict dividend payments. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 27, 2002.

The aggregate maturities of total long-term debt are as follows:  $1.0
million each year between 2003 and 2006; $48.0 million in 2007 and $245.0 million after 2007.

The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert the
interest rate on $150.0 million of the senior subordinated notes from a fixed to a floating rate and convert the interest rate on $50.0 million of the $97.0 million term loan borrowings from a floating rate to a fixed rate.  The interest rate
swaps have maturity dates

beginning in
2005 and qualify as either fair value or cash flow hedges.  Changes in fair value of interest rate swap agreements qualifying as cash flow hedges 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 September 27, 2002, the fair value of $9.2 million of interest rate swaps qualifying as fair value hedges is included in Other
assets.  An offsetting $9.2 million credit is included in long-term debt as a fair value adjustment.  At September 27, 2002, the fair value of $(1.9) million of the interest rate swap qualifying as a cash flow hedge is recorded in
Other liabilities.

On October 29, 2002, the Company realized the value of the interest rate swaps qualifying as fair value hedges.  The Company received approximately $10.4
million, a portion of which represented the net settlement of the accrued but unpaid amount between the Company and the banks.  The remaining amount will be recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the senior subordinated notes as a
premium and amortized over the remaining life of the notes.  The Company used $10 million of the cash proceeds to repay a portion of the term loan.

Concurrently, the Company entered into a new
interest rate swap agreement effective October 31, 2002 which converts the interest rate on $150.0 million of the senior subordinated notes from a fixed to a floating rate.

In connection with the
issuance of the senior subordinated notes, one of the Companys subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiary) jointly, fully, severally and unconditionally guaranteed such notes.  Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations,
certain condensed financial information about the Parent, Guarantor Subsidiary and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is required to be disclosed.  The following provides this required financial information subsequent to the spin off.

Note 6:  Income Taxes

The
Companys operations were historically included in Allergans consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns and in the tax returns of certain Allergan foreign subsidiaries.  The provision for income taxes has been determined
as if the Company had filed separate tax returns under its then existing structure for the periods presented.  Accordingly, the effective tax rate of the Company in future years could vary from its historical effective tax rate depending on the
Companys future legal structure and tax elections. A majority of income taxes through June 28, 2002 were paid by Allergan and reflected through the Allergan, Inc. net investment account.

Effective June
29, 2002, income taxes are provided on taxable income at the statutory rates applicable to such income.  The Company has also provided for U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the portion of the undistributed earnings of
non-U.S. subsidiaries expected to be remitted.

Note 7:  Incentive Compensation Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plans

The Company has
an incentive compensation plan that provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentive awards to directors, employees and consultants.  Additionally, the employee stock purchase plans allow eligible
employees to purchase common stock of the Company at 85 percent of the lower of the closing price of the Companys common stock on the first or last day of the six-month purchase period.  The first six-month purchase period commenced on
October 1, 2002.  An aggregate of 9,600,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the above plans.

The Company granted options to employees and directors to purchase
approximately 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.99 per share under the Companys incentive compensation plan.  Options granted to employees become exercisable 25% per year beginning twelve months
after the date of grant and have a ten year term.  Director stock options are fully vested the day before the next annual stockholder meeting.  The Company measures stock-based compensation for option grants to employees using the
intrinsic value method and thus, no compensation expense has been recorded for the issuance of these stock options.  No stock-based awards have been granted to consultants to date.

As part of
the spin-off from Allergan, all unvested Allergan stock options granted under Allergans 1989 Incentive Compensation Plan to AMO employees formerly employed by Allergan were canceled and reissued as options to acquire AMO common stock. 
Options to purchase an aggregate of 2,639,866 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $5.71 to $13.72 per share were issued in exchange for the unvested Allergan stock options.  The re-issuance into AMO stock options was done
in such a manner that:  (1) the aggregate intrinsic value of the options immediately before and after the exchange was the same, (2) the ratio of the exercise price per option to the market value per option was not reduced, and (3) the vesting
provisions and option period of the replacement AMO stock options was the same as the original vesting terms and option period of the Allergan stock options.

Note 8:  Arrangements with
Allergan

Prior to June 29, 2002, the Company participated in various Allergan administered functions including shared services surrounding selling, general and administrative expenses, retirement
and other post retirement benefit plans, income taxes and cash management.  The allocated portion of the expenses for these shared services for the nine months ended September

(through June 28, 2002) and for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Prior to June 29, 2002, the Company entered into several agreements with Allergan in connection with, among other things, transitional services, employee matters, manufacturing and tax sharing.

The transitional services agreement sets forth charges generally intended to allow Allergan to fully recover the allocated costs of providing certain services, plus all out-of-pocket expenses, except that AMO will pay
to Allergan a commission related to AMO products that are sold by Allergan during the transition period.  The Company will recover costs from Allergan in a similar manner for services provided by AMO.

Under the manufacturing agreement, Allergan manufactures certain contact lens care products and VITRAX for a period of up to three years from the date of distribution.  The Company purchases these products from Allergan
at a price equal to Allergans fully allocated costs plus 10%.

The following table summarizes the charges from Allergan for the above-mentioned services for the three months ended September
27, 2002 (in thousands):

|Selling, general and administrative expenses, net of $204,000 charged to Allergan |  | $ | 2,415,000 | 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | - | --------- | 
|Research and development                                                          |  |   | 173,000   | 
|Foreign currency option contract                                                  |  | $ | 686,000   | 
|                                                                                  |  |   |           | 

The tax sharing agreement governs Allergans and the Companys respective rights,
responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes for any tax period ending before, on or after the distribution.  Generally, Allergan is liable for all pre-distribution taxes attributable to its business, and the Company generally
indemnifies Allergan for all unpaid pre-distribution taxes attributable to the AMO business for the current taxable year.  In addition, the tax sharing agreement provides that Allergan is liable for taxes that are incurred as a result of
restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the distribution.

The Company and Allergan have made representations to each other and to the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the
private letter ruling that Allergan has received regarding the tax-free nature of the distribution of AMO common stock by Allergan to its stockholders.  If either AMO or Allergan breach the representations to each other or to the Internal
Revenue Service, or if the Company or Allergan take or fail to take, as the

case may be,
actions that result in the distribution failing to meet the requirements of a tax-free distribution pursuant to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code, the party in breach will indemnify the other party for any and all resulting taxes.

Note 9:  Commitments and Contingencies

In conjunction with the spin-off from Allergan, the Company entered into various facility leases
worldwide.  Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating lease commitments with a term of more than one year for these facilities, office equipment and automobiles are as follows:  $10.5 million in 2003; $7.2 million in
2004; $4.1 million in 2005; $3.3 million in 2006; $3.2 million in 2007 and $27.6 million thereafter.

In August 2002, the Company entered into an information technology services outsourcing
agreement expiring in November 2007.  Future annual payments under this agreement are as follows:  $5.4 million each year between 2003 and 2005; $5.2 million in 2006 and $4.7 million in 2007.

The Company is involved in various litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that recovery or liability with respect to any pending lawsuits or asserted claims, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 11:  Business Segment Information

As a part of Allergan, the Company operated in four regions or geographic operating segments:  North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Europe.  Effective with the spin-off from Allergan on June 29, 2002, the
Company has organized its operations into three regions:  the Americas, which is comprised of North and South America, Japan and Europe/Africa/Asia Pacific and has restated prior period identifiable assets, net sales and operating income (loss)
amounts to reflect these operating segments.

The United States information is presented separately as it is the Companys headquarters country, and U.S. sales represented 27.8% and 31.7% of
total net sales in the quarters ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively, and 29.0% and 31.7% of total net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively. Additionally, sales in Japan
represented 29.2% and 28.2% of total net sales in the quarters ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively, and 26.9% and 24.7% of total net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively.
No other country, or single customer, generates 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. Operating income
for all operating segments and manufacturing operations also includes a charge for corporate services and asset utilization which permits management to better measure segment performance by including a cost of capital in the determination of
operating income for each segment.

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

Identifiable assets are assigned by region based upon management responsibility for such assets.  Corporate assets are primarily cash and equivalents, goodwill, intangibles and other assets.  At December 31, 2001,
identifiable assets by region only included inventories, accounts receivable and property, plant and equipment as these were the only assets specifically allocated by region.

ADVANCED MEDICAL OPTICS

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

OVERVIEW

AMO is 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 products in the contact lens care market 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 and lens
rewetting drops to provide added wearing comfort.

We have operations in approximately 20 countries and sell our products in approximately 60 countries. As part of Allergan, we had organized our
operations into four regions: North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Europe. Operations for the Europe Region included sales to customers in Africa and the Middle East, and operations in the Asia Pacific Region included sales to customers in
Australia and New Zealand. Since the distribution, we have organized our operations into three regions:

| | Americas (North and South America);                                                        
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  |                                                                                            
| | Japan; and                                                                                 
|  |                                                                                            
| | Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific (excluding Japan, but including Australia and New Zealand).

Separation
from Allergan

Allergan spun-off its existing optical medical device business by contributing all of the assets related to the two business lines that comprise the optical medical device
business to us and distributing all of our outstanding shares of stock to its stockholders. We had no material assets, liabilities or activities as a separate corporate entity until Allergans contribution to us of the optical medical device
business. The contribution of assets and distribution to Allergan stockholders was completed on June 29, 2002. As a result of the distribution, we are an independent public company and Allergan no longer maintains any stock ownership in
us.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

OVERVIEW (Continued)

We have previously estimated incurring incremental annual pre-tax costs of
approximately $58 million associated with being an independent public company in excess of amounts recorded prior to the spin-off.

Allergan did not account for our business on the basis of separate
legal entities, subsidiaries, divisions or segments. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and for each of the periods ended September 27, 2002 (through June 28, 2002) and September 28, 2001
include those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to our operations and allocations of certain Allergan corporate assets, liabilities and expenses. These amounts have been allocated on a basis that was considered by
Allergan management to reflect most fairly or reasonably the utilization of the services provided to us or the benefit obtained by us. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated. The financial information included herein does not
necessarily reflect what the financial position and results of our operations would have been had we operated as a stand-alone public entity during all pre-spinoff periods presented, and may not be indicative of future operations or financial
position.

As part of Allergan, we historically participated in various Allergan administered functions including shared services surrounding selling, general and administrative expenses,
retirement and other post retirement benefit plans, income taxes and cash management. Our allocated portions of the expenses for these shared services are included in selling, general and administrative expense in our unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of earnings. For the three months ended September 28, 2001, these allocated expenses were $8.8 million.  For the nine months ended September 27, 2002 (through June 28, 2002) and September 28, 2001, these allocated
expenses were $23.2 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

Our income historically has been included in consolidated income tax returns filed by Allergan and most of the related income taxes have
been paid by Allergan. Allergan has managed its tax position for the benefit of its entire portfolio of businesses. Allergans tax methodologies and elections are not necessarily reflective of the tax methodologies and elections that we would
have followed or will follow as a stand-alone company. Our income tax expense has been recorded as if we filed tax returns separate from Allergan.

Cash and equivalents consist of cash in banks,
money market mutual funds and repurchase agreements with financial institutions with original maturities of 90 days or less. We historically have participated in a centralized cash management program administered by Allergan. Cash and equivalents at
December 31, 2001 include only those amounts that were to be considered part of our operations upon the distribution.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

OVERVIEW (Continued)

Prior to the distribution, we entered into several agreements with Allergan in
connection with, among other things, transitional services, employee matters, manufacturing and tax sharing.

The transitional services agreement sets forth charges generally intended to allow
Allergan to fully recover the allocated costs of providing the services, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, except that we will pay to Allergan a commission related to our products that are sold by them during the transition period. We will
recover costs from Allergan in a similar manner for services provided by us.

Under the manufacturing agreement, Allergan manufactures certain contact lens care products and VITRAX for a period of
up to 3 years from the date of the distribution. We purchase these products from Allergan at a price equal to Allergans fully allocated costs plus 10%. If we are unable to either build or obtain regulatory approvals for new facilities or
locate and obtain regulatory approvals for third party manufacturers to produce our products, our business may be harmed.

The tax sharing agreement governs Allergans and our respective
rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes for any tax period ending before, on or after the distribution. Generally, Allergan is liable for all pre-distribution taxes attributable to its business, and we generally indemnify
Allergan for all unpaid pre-distribution taxes attributable to our business for the current taxable year. In addition, the tax sharing agreement provides that Allergan is liable for taxes that are incurred as a result of restructuring activities
undertaken to effectuate the distribution.

We and Allergan have made representations to each other and to the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the private letter ruling that Allergan has
received regarding the tax-free nature of the distribution of our common stock by Allergan to its stockholders. If either we or Allergan breach our representations to each other or to the Internal Revenue Service, or if we or Allergan take or fail
to take, as the case may be, actions that result in the distribution failing to meet the requirements of a tax-free distribution pursuant to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code, the party in breach will indemnify the other party for any and all
resulting taxes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue and Accounts Receivable

We recognize revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and title and risk of loss transfer to the customer (i.e., F.O.B. shipping point), with the exception of intraocular lenses, which are generally

22

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

distributed on a consignment basis and recognized as revenue
upon implantation in a patient.  We generally permit returns of product from a customer if the product is returned in a timely manner, 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 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.  Historically, product returns have been within the amounts reserved.

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 receivable aging categories and establish reserves 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.  Inventory balances are permanently reduced, if necessary, based on the analyses.

Net sales increased $2.5 million, or 1.8%, to $139.3 million in the three months ended September 27,
2002 from $136.8 million in the three months ended September 28, 2001.  Net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2002 were $391.0 million, a 1.5% decrease from the comparable 2001 amount.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The increase in net sales in the three months ended September 27, 2002
compared with the same period last year was primarily the result of an increase in sales of our ophthalmic surgical products and favorable foreign currency changes partially offset by a decrease in sales of contact lens care products.  The
decrease in net sales in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 compared with the same period last year was primarily the result of a decrease in sales of private-label contact lens care products partially offset by an increase in sales of
ophthalmic surgical products.

The impact of foreign currency changes compared to the comparable prior year periods increased net sales by $4.8 million, or 3.5%, and decreased net sales by $0.8
million, or 0.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively.

Global sales of our contact lens care products decreased $4.1 million, or 5.3%, and decreased $18.5 million,
or 8.6%, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, as compared with the same periods last year.  Sales of our contact lens care products in the United States decreased $4.7 million, or 27.7%, and decreased $13.6
million, or 27.0%, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, as compared with the same periods last year. Much of the decline was due to managements decision to exit the unprofitable sales of private-label contact
lens care products.

International sales of our contact lens care products increased $0.6 million, or 1.0%, and decreased $4.9 million, or 3.0%, in the three and nine months ended September
27, 2002, respectively, compared with the same periods last year.  The increase in the three months ended September 27, 2002 was attained even though our private-label sales decreased by $3.4 million as compared to the prior year period. 
The decrease in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 was due to the decrease in private-label sales of $7.5 million partially offset by an increase in sales of our branded products as compared to the prior year period.

The impact of foreign currency changes compared to the comparable prior year periods increased contact lens care product sales by $2.7 million, or 3.5%, and decreased contact lens care product sales by $0.8 million,
or 0.4%, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively.

The overall decreases in contact lens care net sales for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002 are
primarily attributable to managements strategic decision to exit the unprofitable sales of low-margin private- label products.  In the future, we expect the impact of reduced private-label product sales will be offset by the continued
growth in sales of our branded one-bottle disinfection systems.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Global sales of our ophthalmic surgical products increased $6.6
million, or 11.0%, and increased $12.7 million, or 7.0%, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, compared with the same periods last year.  In the United States, sales of our ophthalmic surgical products were
relatively flat in the three months ended September 27, 2002 and increased $1.4 million, or 1.9%, in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 compared with the same periods last year. Sales in the United States increased in the nine months ended
September 27, 2002 over the comparable prior year period primarily due to an increase in sales of phacoemulsification equipment and the SENSAR acrylic intraocular lens.

International sales of our
ophthalmic surgical products increased $6.7 million, or 19.8%, and increased $11.3 million, or 10.5%, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, compared with the same periods last year.  The increases were primarily
attributable to sales increases in phacoemulsification equipment and the SENSAR acrylic intraocular lens and favorable foreign currency changes, which were partially offset by a decrease in silicone intraocular lenses sales. We believe that global
sales of ophthalmic surgical products will continue to grow as sales of higher margin foldable intraocular lenses, most notably the SENSAR acrylic lens, continue to improve.

The impact of foreign
currency changes compared to the comparable prior year period increased ophthalmic surgical product sales by $2.1 million, or 3.5%, in the three months ended September 27, 2002.  The impact of foreign currency changes as compared to the prior
year period was negligible in the nine months ended September 27, 2002.

Gross Margin.  Our gross margin was 63.1% of net sales in the three months ended September 27, 2002, an increase
of 2.1 percentage points from the comparable prior year period.  Due to inventory levels at the spin-off, our gross margin in the quarter was not impacted by sales of products manufactured by Allergan under the manufacturing agreement. 
Beginning in the fourth quarter, we expect our gross margin will decline as sales of products purchased from Allergan, at a price equal to Allergans fully allocated costs plus 10%, will begin.

Our gross margin increased as a percent of net sales by 1.6 percentage points from 60.3% in the nine months ended September 28, 2001 to 61.9% in the nine months ended September 27, 2002.  Our gross margin in the nine
months ended September 27, 2002 was negatively impacted by the June 2002 write-off of $2.6 million of inventory deemed unusable due to our spin-off from Allergan.  The increase in gross margin as a percent of net sales was primarily the result
of higher gross margins achieved on sales of contact lens care products, decreased sales of low margin private-label products and a change in product sales mix to higher margin surgical products.  Gross margin in dollars increased by $4.4
million and $2.7 million in the

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, compared
with the same periods last year, due to the sales mix shift to higher margin products partially offset by the June 2002 write-off of inventory.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $61.3 million, or 44.0% of net sales, and $175.1 million, or 44.8% of net sales, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, compared to $51.1 million, or 37.3% of
net sales, and $171.7 million, or 43.3% of net sales, in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001, respectively.  The increase in selling, general and administrative dollars and as a percent of net sales in the three months ended
September 27, 2002 as compared to the same period last year was primarily a result of increased general and administrative expenses incurred as we began operations as an independent public company subsequent to our spin-off from Allergan and
increased selling expenses.  This was partially offset by a reduction in goodwill amortization of $2.2 million.  The increase in selling, general and administrative dollars and as a percent of net sales in the nine months ended September
27, 2002 as compared to the same period last year was primarily a result of increased general and administrative expenses incurred in preparation for the spin-off and as we began operations as an independent public company partially offset by lower
selling expenses and a reduction in goodwill amortization of $6.7 million.  Beginning in 2002, we no longer amortize goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142.

Research and development.
Research and development expenses were $6.6 million, or 4.7% of net sales, and $21.4 million, or 5.5% of net sales, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, compared to $6.1 million, or 4.4% of net sales, and $20.5
million, or 5.2% of net sales, in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001, respectively.  The increase in research and development dollars and as a percent of net sales was a result of an increase in spending for research efforts in
the ophthalmic surgical business, partially offset by a decrease in research and development spending for the contact lens care business.

Operating income.  Operating income was $20.0
million, or 14.4% of net sales, and $45.3 million, or 11.6% of net sales, in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, compared to $26.3 million, or 19.2% of net sales, and $47.0 million, or 11.8% of net sales, in the three
and nine months ended September 28, 2001, respectively.  The decrease in operating income in the three months ended September 27, 2002 as compared to the same period last year was primarily the result of higher selling, general and
administrative expenses, partially offset by the increase in gross margin.  The decrease in operating income in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 as compared to the same period last year was primarily the result of costs incurred in
preparation for the spin-off

and as we began operations as an independent public company, partially
offset by the increase in gross margin and lower selling expenses.

Non-operating expense.  Non-operating expense was $9.2 million and $16.3 million in the three and nine months ended
September 27, 2002, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $2.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001, respectively.  We recorded an unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $1.9 million in the nine months ended
September 27, 2002 compared to an unrealized gain of $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2001.  We record as unrealized loss/(gain) on derivative instruments the mark to market adjustments on the outstanding foreign
currency options which we entered into, as part of Allergans overall risk management strategy, to reduce the volatility of expected earnings in currencies other than U.S. dollar.  The three and nine months ended September 27, 2002 include
a $2.0 million charge for the permanent impairment of an equity investment.  Additionally, the nine months ended September 27, 2002 includes early debt extinguishment costs of $3.5 million associated with the prepayment of debt in Japan in June
2002.  Interest expense increased $4.8 million and $5.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, compared with the same periods last year due primarily to the $300.0 million of debt incurred in late June
2002.

Income taxes.  The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002 was 46.0% and 41.0%, respectively, as compared to the effective tax rate of 27.1% and
28.1% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001, respectively.  Effective June 29, 2002, income taxes are provided on taxable income at the statutory rates applicable to such income.  We have also provided for U.S. federal
income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the portion of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries expected to be remitted.  The annual effective tax rate in 2001 included the recognition of certain tax benefits associated with the
utilization of a net operating loss carryforward and the realization of other deferred tax assets in Japan for which we previously had established a valuation allowance.  In 2001, we determined, based solely on our judgment, that realization of
the deferred tax assets had become more likely than not and accordingly, we reversed the valuation allowance previously established.  We do not anticipate that our future provision for income taxes will include tax benefits similar
to those we recognized in 2001.  We believe 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.

Net earnings.  Net earnings for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002 were $5.8 million and $17.1
million, respectively, compared to $18.0 million and $31.7 million in the three and nine months ended

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

September 28, 2001, respectively. The $12.1 million decrease in net
earnings for the three months ended September 27, 2002 is primarily the result of the $6.3 million decrease in operating income and the increase in non-operating expense partially offset by the decrease in the provision for income taxes.  The
$14.6 million decrease in net earnings for the nine months ended September 27, 2002 is primarily the result of the increase in non-operating expenses and the decrease in operating income.  Net earnings for the nine months ended September 28,
2001 included a $0.4 million after-tax loss related to the adoption of SFAS No. 133  Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

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.

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 provided by operating activities was $80.3 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 compared to $42.5
million in the nine months ended September 28, 2001. Operating cash flow increased in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2001 primarily as a result of improved management of inventory and an
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, partially offset by lower net earnings and an increase in trade receivables and other assets.

Net cash used in investing
activities was $19.3 million and $8.4 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively.  Expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $15.2 million and $4.2 million in the nine months ended
September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively. The 2002 expenditures are primarily comprised of improvements to our recently leased headquarters and also include expansion of manufacturing facilities and a variety of other projects
designed to improve productivity.  We expect to invest a total of $17 million to $19 million in property, plant and equipment in 2002.  Expenditures for demonstration (demo) and bundled equipment, primarily phacoemulsification and
microkeratome surgical equipment, were $3.7 million and $3.0 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively.  We maintain demo and bundled equipment to facilitate future sales of similar equipment and
related products to our customers.  In addition to the property, plant and equipment expenditures, we expect to invest a total of $5.0 million to $6.0 million in demo and bundled equipment in 2002.  Expenditures for capitalized

software were $0.9 million and $2.1 million in the nine
months ended September 27, 2002 and September 28, 2001, respectively.  We expect to invest a total of $2.0 million to $3.0 million in capitalized internal-use software in 2002.

Net cash used
in financing activities was $6.0 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2002, which was comprised of $305.6 million of long-term debt borrowings offset by long-term debt repayments of $114.4 million and $197.2 million of net distributions to
Allergan.  Net cash used in financing activities was $37.6 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2001, which was comprised of net distributions to Allergan.  Net transfers to Allergan ceased as of June 28, 2002 as a result of the
spin-off.

As of the distribution date, we had incurred $300.0 million of debt with an estimated weighted average interest rate of 6.89%, including the benefit of interest rate swaps, resulting in
incremental annual interest expense of approximately $18.8 million at current interest rates. As a result, we expect a related decrease in our cash flows from operations. We used approximately $258.1 million of these credit facilities to repay
indebtedness borrowed from Allergan to purchase various assets from Allergan, make a distribution to Allergan in exchange for various assets contributed to us and repay a portion of Allergans debt assumed by us in connection with the
spin-off.  We also entered into a new $35.0 million revolving credit facility to fund future capital expenditures and working capital, if needed.  At September 27, 2002, approximately $17.7 million of the $35.0 million revolving credit
facility has been reserved to support letters of credit issued on our behalf.

A majority of cash generated from operations prior to June 28, 2002 was transferred to Allergan.  The net effect
of these cash transfers has previously been reflected in the Allergan, Inc. net investment account in the equity section of our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our
cash position includes amounts denominated in foreign currencies, and the repatriation of those cash balances from some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries will 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 meet our working capital requirements, debt service and other cash needs over the next year.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2002

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

We are dependent, in part, 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 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 continues to apply 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 71% of our revenues for
the nine months ended September 27, 2002 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.  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 $4.8 million increase and a $0.8 million
decrease for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2002, respectively, and a $6.7 million decrease and a $23.4 million decrease for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2001, respectively.

Contractual obligations.The following represents a list of our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 27, 2002:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a stand-alone company, 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.  For all periods presented through June 28, 2002, we were considered in Allergans overall risk management strategy. As part of this strategy, Allergan managed its risks
based on managements judgment of the appropriate trade-off between risk, opportunity and costs. With respect to our risks, Allergan primarily utilized foreign currency option and forward contracts to economically hedge or reduce these
exposures.

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.  Our
$297.0 million of debt is comprised solely of domestic borrowings. Thus, our interest expense will fluctuate with rate changes in the U.S.

We have entered into various interest
rate swap agreements which effectively convert our interest rate on $150.0 million of the senior subordinated notes from a fixed rate to a floating rate and convert the interest rate on $50.0 million of our $97.0 million term credit facility
borrowings from a floating rate to a fixed rate. At September 27, 2002, the fair value of $9.2 million of interest rate swaps qualifying as fair value hedges is included in Other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheet.  An offsetting $9.2 million credit is included in long-term term debt as a fair value adjustment.  The fair value of $(1.9) million of the interest rate swap qualifying as a cash flow hedge is recorded in
Other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On October 29, 2002, we realized the value of the interest rate swaps qualifying as fair value
hedges.  We received approximately $10.4 million, a portion of which represented the net settlement of the accrued but unpaid amount between us and the banks.  The remaining amount will be recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount
of the senior subordinated notes as a premium and amortized over the remaining life of the notes.  We used $10 million of the cash proceeds to repay a portion of the term loan.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (continued)

Concurrently, we entered into a new interest rate swap agreement effective October 31, 2002 which converts the interest rate on $150.0 million of the senior subordinated notes from a fixed to a floating
rate.

If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 0.125% for the year, annual interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $246,000.

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 sales and gross margins as expressed in U.S. dollars.

From time to time Allergan, with respect to our currency risks, had entered into foreign currency option and
foreign currency forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes to allow our management to focus its attention on its core business issues and challenges. Through the end of 2002 and as
part of the transitional services agreement, we will bear the costs and receive the benefits of Yen denominated foreign currency option contracts previously entered into by Allergan.

We may enter
into various contracts which change in value as foreign exchange rates change to economically offset the effect of changes in the value of foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and
operating expenses. Our policy will be to enter into foreign currency option and foreign currency forward contracts in amounts between minimum and maximum anticipated foreign exchange exposures, generally for periods not to exceed one
year.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44,
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS No. 145) was issued.  SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material,
classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect.  Upon adoption of SFAS No. 145, we will be required to apply the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of
Disposal

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)

of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (Opinion No. 30), in determining the classification of gains and losses resulting from the extinguishment of debt.  SFAS No. 145 is effective
for annual years beginning after May 15, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged.  We have elected to early-adopt SFAS No. 145 during the quarter ended June 28, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS 145 did not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements.

In July 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146) was
issued.  SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.  Examples of costs covered by the standard
include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity.  SFAS No. 146 is effective prospectively for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged.  As the provisions of SFAS No. 146 are required to be applied prospectively after the adoption date, we cannot determine the potential effects that
adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

expenditures, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could limit our ability to obtain additional financing and could limit our flexibility to react to competitive or other changes in our industry, and to economic conditions generally.  Our
ability to comply with loan covenants and to repay or refinance our indebtedness will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond
our control.

contribution and distribution agreement, we and Allergan have each agreed to indemnify each other from and after the distribution with respect to the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations retained by our respective companies. These
indemnification obligations could be significant. The ability to satisfy these indemnities if called upon to do so, will depend upon the future financial strength of each of our companies. We cannot determine whether we will have to indemnify
Allergan for any substantial obligations, and we do not have control over or clear visibility to the settlement of certain claims and lawsuits which require partial indemnification by AMO. We also cannot assure you that

| | WE MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX LIABILITIES THAT RELATE TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK BY ALLERGAN.  Allergan has received a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service to the effect that the distribution qualified as a tax-free transaction.  If either AMO or Allergan breach representations to each other or to the Internal Revenue Service, or if AMO or Allergan take or fail to take, as the case
may be, actions that result in the distribution failing to meet the requirements of a tax-free distribution pursuant to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code, the party in breach will indemnify the other party for any and all resulting

| | OUR CONTACT LENS CARE BUSINESS COMPETES IN A MARKET THAT IS GRADUALLY DECLINING ON A NET GLOBAL BASIS, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY IMPACT OUR OPERATING RESULTS IF WE CANNOT TIMELY
GENERATE NEW SOURCES OF REVENUE. We believe that revenue growth of the contact lens care market in international markets is offset by a larger decline in the U.S. market, resulting in a net global decline of approximately one percent in 2001 as
compared to 2000. We anticipate that this trend will continue or possibly worsen in the near future. Our contact lens care business is impacted by trends in the contact lens care market such as technological and medical advances in surgical
techniques for the correction of vision impairment. Less expensive one-bottle chemical disinfection systems have gained popularity among soft contact lens wearers instead of peroxide-based lens care products, which historically have been our
strongest family of lens care products. Also, the growing use and acceptance of daily and extended wear contact lenses and laser correction procedures, along with the other factors above, could have the effect of continuing to reduce demand for lens
care products generally. We cannot assure you that we have established appropriate or sufficient marketing and sales plans to mitigate the effect of these trends upon our contact lens care business.  If we cannot timely generate new sources of
revenue to offset any decline in revenues from these trends, our operating results will materially suffer.

| | WE CONDUCT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR SALES AND OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, WHICH SUBJECTS US TO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS RISKS, SUCH AS BUSINESS INTERRUPTION AND
INCREASED COSTS, AND MAY CAUSE OUR PROFITABILITY TO DECLINE.  Our two manufacturing sites are located outside the continental United States, in Anasco, Puerto Rico and Hangzhou, China, and in 2001, we derived approximately $376 million, or 69%
of our total revenue, from sales of our products outside of the United States.  In addition, in 2001 we derived approximately 25% of our net sales in Japan. Our international operations are, and will continue to be, subject to a number of risks
and potential costs, including:  unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements; differing local product preferences and product requirements;  fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; political and economic instability;
changes in foreign medical reimbursement and coverage policies and programs; diminished protection of intellectual property in some countries outside of the United States; trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations; differing labor regulations; and potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws.

CERTAIN FACTORS AND TRENDS AFFECTING AMO AND ITS BUSINESSES (continued)

|  | Any of these factors may, individually or as a group, have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  In addition, we are particularly susceptible
to the occurrence of any of these risks in Japan due to our high concentration of sales in Japan.

| | IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS MAY BE HARMED.  Our ability to compete effectively is dependent upon the proprietary
nature of the designs, processes, technologies and materials owned, used by or licensed to us. Although we attempt to protect our proprietary property, technologies and processes through a combination of patent law, trade secrets and non-disclosure
agreements, these may be insufficient.

| | WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION AND INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS, WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES OR PREVENT US FROM SELLING OUR PRODUCTS. 
There is a substantial amount of litigation over patent and other intellectual property rights in the eye care industry, and in the ophthalmic surgical device and contact lens care markets particularly. The fact that we have patents issued to us for
our products does not mean that we will always be able to successfully defend our patents and proprietary rights against challenges or claims of infringement by our competitors.

| | OUR MANUFACTURING CAPACITY MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE TO MEET THE DEMANDS ON OUR BUSINESS.  We manufacture our products or contract with third parties to manufacture our products.
Our products are manufactured in quantities sufficient to satisfy our current level of product sales. If we experience increases in sales, we will need to increase our production significantly beyond our present manufacturing capacity. Additionally,
in June 2005 our manufacturing agreement with Allergan will terminate and we will be required to increase our manufacturing capacities or to contract with additional parties to manufacture our products. The process to transfer manufacturing of our
products to new facilities is lengthy and requires regulatory approval. We cannot assure you that we can successfully increase our capacity on a profitable basis, complete the regulatory approval process in a timely manner, or contract with
additional parties on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any prolonged disruption in the operation of our manufacturing facilities or those of our third party manufacturers could materially harm our business. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that
if we choose to scale-up our manufacturing operations, we will be able to maintain compliance with Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory standards.

Controls and Procedures

in the Companys internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.
