# VASCULAR SOLUTIONS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

|(1) |  | Basis of Presentation
|--- |  | ---------------------

| | The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Vascular
Solutions, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interim results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim periods.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) |  | New Accounting Pronouncements
|--- |  | -----------------------------

| | In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation
expense for all stock-based payments at fair value.  SFAS 123R is effective for all fiscal years after June 15, 2005. 
Early adoption is encouraged and retroactive application of the provisions of SFAS 123R to the beginning of the fiscal year that
includes the effective date is permitted, but not required.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R on
its financial position and results of operations.  See Note 3 for information related to the pro forma effects on the
Companys reported net loss and net loss per common share of applying the fair value recognition provisions of the previous
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) |  | Stock Based Compensation
|--- |  | ------------------------

| | At March 31, 2005, the Company had a stock-based employee
compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net loss, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per
share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation.

|(4) |  | Computation of Net Loss per Share
|--- |  | ---------------------------------

| | In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, Earnings Per Share, (SFAS 128), basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods presented. For all periods
presented, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share because the effect of outstanding options and warrants is
antidilutive.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) |  | Comprehensive Loss
|--- |  | ------------------

| | Comprehensive loss for the Company includes net loss and foreign
currency translation. Comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 was as
follows:

|(6) |  | Revenue Recognition
|--- |  | -------------------

| | In the United States and Germany, the Company sells its products
directly to hospitals and clinics. Revenue is recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined
in the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 Revenue Recognition, which requires that four basic criteria be
met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable;
(iii) collectibility is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company
recognizes revenue as products are shipped based on FOB shipping point terms when title passes to customers. The Company
negotiates credit terms on a customer-by-customer basis and products are shipped at an agreed upon price. All product returns must
be pre-approved and, if approved, customers are subject to a 20% restocking charge.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In all other international markets, the Company sells its products
to international distributors which subsequently resell the products to hospitals and clinics. The Company has agreements with
each of its distributors which provide that title and risk of loss pass to the distributor upon shipment of the products to the
distributor. The Company warrants that its products are free from manufacturing defects at the time of shipment to the
distributor. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products to distributors following the receipt and acceptance of a
distributors purchase order. Allowances are provided for estimated returns and warranty costs at the time of shipment.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(7) |  | Shipping and Handling Costs
|--- |  | ---------------------------

| | In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issue
00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, the Company includes shipping and handling revenues in net
sales and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(8) |  | Inventories
|--- |  | -----------

| | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
method) or market. Appropriate consideration is given to deterioration, obsolescence and other factors in evaluating net
realizable value. Inventories are comprised of the following:

|(9) |  | Credit Risk and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------

| | The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. This allowance is regularly evaluated by
the Company for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the customer base, age of
the receivable balances, both individually and in the aggregate, and current economic conditions that may affect a customers
ability to pay. Accounts receivable over 60 days past due are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past
due accounts receivable. Receivables are written off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual
credit evaluation and the specific circumstances of the customer. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the allowance for
doubtful accounts was $110,000 and $160,000, respectively.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | All product returns must be pre-approved and, if approved,
customers are subject to a 20% restocking charge. The Company analyzes the rate of historical returns when evaluating the adequacy
of the allowance for sales returns, which is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts on our balance sheet. At March 31,
2005 and December 31, 2004, the sales and return allowance was $25,000 and $20,000, respectively.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Accounts
receivable are shown net of the combined total of the allowance for doubtful accounts and
allowance for sales returns of $135,000 and $180,000 at March 31, 2005 and December 31,
2003, respectively.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(10) |  | Concentrations of Credit and Other Risks
|---- |  | ----------------------------------------

| | In the United States and Germany, the Company sells its products
directly to hospitals and clinics. In all other international markets, the Company sells its products to distributors who, in
turn, sell to medical clinics. Loss, termination, or ineffectiveness of distributors to effectively promote the Companys
product could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs credit
evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. No customers were more than 5% of gross accounts receivable as of
March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. There have been no material losses on customer receivables.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Sales by geographic destination as a percentage of total net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were 89% and 90% in the United States, respectively, and 11% and 10% in
international markets, respectively. No single customer represented greater than 5% of the total net sales for the three months

Companys financial condition and results of operations. The Company purchases their requirements for thrombin (a component
in the Duett and D-Stat products) under a Purchase Agreement dated June 10, 1999 with a subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
The agreement provides for a fixed price, with adjustments based on the suppliers manufacturing costs and the
suppliers annual percentage increase in the wholesale price of thrombin. The agreement expires on May 29, 2005. During the
remainder of 2005 and the first part of 2006, the Company intends to purchase and take delivery of approximately $3 million of
thrombin to benefit from the pricing provisions of the agreement. The Company believes that these purchases will satisfy its
thrombin requirements for 2005 and 2006.

| | On October 18, 2004, the Company entered into a supply agreement
with Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals, an operating division of Sigma-Aldrich, Inc. (Sigma) for the supply of thrombin to the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company will be paying for certain development costs of Sigma to allow Sigma to
produce thrombin. The payments are based on certain milestones over a two year period. The contract terminates after ten years and
is automatically extended for up to five additional successive one year terms unless one party delivers notice of termination at
least one year prior to the scheduled termination of the agreement. During the term of the contract, Sigma has agreed not to sell
thrombin of the type developed for the Company under the contract in or as a component of a hemostatic product for medical use.
The Company does not have any minimum purchase requirements under the contract; however, if the Company purchases less than three
lots of thrombin in any year then (i) Sigma will be released from its agreement not to sell thrombin in or as a component of a
hemostatic product for medical use, and (ii) Sigma will have the right to terminate the contract on 30 days notice.

| | The Sigma contract is part of the Companys plan to fully
qualify a new source of thrombin and to bring the new thrombin through the regulatory process over the next two years. The cost
associated with the Sigma agreement are part of the Companys total estimated expenditures of $7.1 million (including the
payments to Sigma) to complete this project. Approximately $3.7 million of the $7.1 million is for thrombin qualification
expenses, $0.4 million is for capital equipment and $3.0 million is for the purchase of thrombin. The Company has incurred $0.7
million of the estimated $3.7 million in thrombin qualification expenses to date. The purchase of the $3.0 million in thrombin is
expected to be used in the Companys hemostat products starting in 2007.

Item 2.   Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

# Overview

Vascular Solutions, Inc. (we,
us or Vascular) is a medical device company focused on bringing clinically advanced solutions to interventional cardiologists and
interventional radiologists worldwide. We were incorporated in the state of Minnesota in December 1996, and we began operations in
February 1997. Our current product line consists of the following medical devices:

- D-Stat Dry hemostatic bandage, a topical pad with a bandage used to control surface bleeding,
- Pronto extraction catheter, a mechanical system for the removal of soft thrombus from arteries,
- Vari-Lase® endovenous laser, a laser and procedure kit used for the treatment of varicose veins,
- Duett sealing device, used to seal the puncture site following catheterization procedures,
- D-Stat® Flowable hemostat, a thick, yet flowable, mixture used to control bleeding,
- Langston dual lumen pigtail catheter, used to measure intravascular pressure gradients,
- MAX-Support abdominal retraction belt, used to allow femoral access in obese patients, and
- Acolysis® ultrasound (international only), a treatment for peripheral occlusive arterial disease.

As a vertically-integrated medical device company, we generate ideas and
create new interventional medical devices, and then deliver these products directly to the physician through our direct domestic
sales force and our international distribution network.

We currently have in
development several additional products that leverage our existing infrastructure to bring additional solutions to the
interventional cardiologist and interventional radiologist. Additional products that we expect to gain regulatory clearance and
market launch before the end of 2005 in the United States include the following medical devices:

- Skyway support catheter and the Twin-Pass dual access catheter, both specialty-purpose catheters designed for interventional cardiology which address market opportunities we estimate at between $1 million and $5 million per year.
- ThrombiGel hemostat, a resorbable version
of our D-Stat Dry which we expect to launch in 2005 with a limited topical indication, and expect to expand to a much broader
surgical indication by the end of 2006. This resorbable version of the D-Stat Dry addresses a market in excess of $100 million
annually for a surgical thrombin-based resorbable pad hemostat.

# Results of Operations

Three months ended March
31, 2005 compared to three months ended March 31, 2004

Net sales increased 63% to
$7,274,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $4,459,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Approximately 89% of our net
sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were to customers in the United States and 11% of our net sales were to customers in
international markets. Net sales by product category were as follows:

- Net sales of the D-Stat Dry hemostatic bandage were $3,133,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to $1,665,000 in the first quarter of 2004, a 88% increase. Through March 31, 2005, we
have sold our D-Stat Dry to 659 interventional cardiology and interventional radiology labs in the United States.

10

---

- Net sales of the Pronto extraction catheter were $1,281,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005, compared to net sales of $394,000 in the first quarter of 2004, a 225% increase. Through March 31, 2005, we
have sold our Pronto to 560 interventional cardiology and interventional radiology labs in the United States.
- Net sales of our Vari-Lase product line increased to $892,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to net sales of $371,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a 141% increase. Through March
31, 2005, we have sold our Vari-Lase products to 198 accounts.
- Net sales of the D-Stat Flowable increased to $461,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005 from $331,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a 39% increase.
- Net sales of our Duett sealing device decreased to $1,258,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $1,662,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a 24% decrease. Our Duett sales in the first
quarter of 2005 remained stable from the fourth quarter of 2004. We continue to believe that our Duett business will represent a
substantial but declining percentage of our on-going sales as our focus is on harvesting this product line. A total of
122 accounts purchased the Duett sealing device in the first quarter 2005.
- Net sales of our other products were $249,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2005, compared to $36,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a 592% increase.

Gross profit as a percentage
of net sales increased to 72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from 68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase was
the result of the change in the selling mix of our products, increased volume and related manufacturing efficiencies. The D-Stat
Dry and Pronto now account for 43% and 18%, respectively, of our net sales. The D-Stat Dry has a gross margin in excess of 80% and
the Pronto has a gross margin in excess of 75%. We expect gross margins to hold steady in 2005 and finish the year in the range of
71% to 73%.

Research and development
expenses decreased 11% to $880,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $988,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Research and development expenses fluctuate due to outside project spending. We expect our normal research and development
expenses to remain relatively steady for the remainder of 2005 in the range of $800,000 to $1,000,000 as we continue to pursue
additional new products at an expected rate of approximately two new products per year.

Thrombin qualification
expenses were $486,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. We have now incurred a
total of $696,000 of expenses of the total estimated expense of $3.7 million associated with qualifying the new source of thrombin
to be incurred over the next two years. We also estimate that there will be approximately $400,000 of capital expenditures for
this project and approximately $3.0 million of thrombin inventory purchases from our new supplier towards the end of 2005 for use
in products sold starting in 2007. We remain on plan to qualify and receive approval for our new thrombin by the first quarter of
2007 which should allow us to participate directly in the $200 million annual market for thrombin and thrombin-based surgical
hemostats.

Clinical and regulatory
expenses increased 14% to $442,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $389,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Clinical and regulatory expenses fluctuate due to the timing of clinical and marketing studies. The increase is the result of our
increased activity with the completion of our D-Stat Flowable Pocket Protector clinical study and our D-Stat Dry
marketing

clinical study. We expect clinical and regulatory expenses to be in the range
of $500,000 to $600,000 per quarter in 2005.

Sales and marketing expenses
increased 19% to $3,090,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $2,601,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This
increase was primarily due to increased headcount in our direct sales force, which went from 48 field employees as of March 31,
2004 to 56 field employees as of March 31, 2005. We anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will be between $3.2 million and
$3.5 million per quarter for the remainder of 2005, as we plan to add up to 10 additional new field sales employees by the end of
2005.

General and administrative
expenses increased 13% to $587,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $521,000 for the quarter ended March 31,2004. The
increase was principally the result of legal fees related to the Diomed intellectual property litigation (see Legal
Proceedings in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q) and increased accounting and tax services. We expect to incur
approximately $50,000 in legal fees per quarter related to the Diomed litigation. We currently anticipate that general and
administrative expenses will be approximately $550,000 to $650,000 per quarter in 2005.

Amortization of purchased
technology was $54,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which is unchanged from the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The
amortization resulted from our acquisition of the Acolysis assets from the secured creditors of Angiosonics, Inc. in 2002. We
allocated $870,000 of the acquisition price to purchased technology and are amortizing the amount over four years.

Interest income increased to
$34,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $12,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, primarily as a result of an
increased cash balance and higher interest rates.

# Income Taxes

We have not generated any
pre-tax income to date and therefore have not paid any federal income taxes since inception in December 1996. No provision or
benefit for federal and state income taxes has been recorded for net operating losses incurred in any period since our inception.

As of March 31, 2005, we had
approximately $58.3 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income which begin to
expire in the year 2013. As of March 31, 2005, we also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $1.7 million which begin to expire in the year 2013. As of March 31, 2005, we also had a foreign tax loss
carryforward of approximately $2.3 million, which does not expire. Under the United States Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of
and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances, including significant
changes in ownership interests. Future use of our existing net operating loss carryforwards may be restricted due to changes in
ownership or from future tax legislation.

# Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed all of our
operations since inception through the issuance of equity securities and, to a lesser extent, sales of our products. Through March
31, 2005, we have sold capital stock generating aggregate net proceeds of approximately $76.7 million. At March 31, 2005, we had
$7,248,000 in cash, cash equivalents on-hand compared to $7,184,000 at December 31, 2004.

12

---

During the quarter ended
March 31, 2005, we gained $145,000 from operating activities. The cash gained in operating activities was primarily used to fund
our net loss for the period of $289,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $296,000 and a decrease in accounts payable of
$101,000. The preceding were offset by depreciation and amortization of $185,000, an increase in accrued expenses of $170,000, a
decrease in inventories of $366,000 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $105,000. The increase in accounts receivable and
decrease in inventory were due to increased sales. The decrease in prepaid expenses, the decrease in accounts payables and
increase in accrued liabilities were the result of timing of payments. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we had capital
purchased of $126,000 and we generated $102,000 in financing activities through the exercise of stock options.

During the fourth quarter of
2004, we renewed our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and increased the line of credit to $5.0 million. The line of credit
has a 12 month term, bears interest at the rate of prime plus 0.5% and is secured by a first security interest on all of our
assets. The line of credit includes two covenants: minimum tangible net worth of $11.0 million and a liquidity coverage of not
less than 1.25 to 1.00. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, we had no outstanding
balance on the line of credit balance and the availability was $3.3 million.

We purchase our requirements
for thrombin (a component in the Duett and in all of the D-Stat products) under a Purchase Agreement dated June 10, 1999 with a
subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The agreement provides for a fixed price, with adjustments based on the suppliers
manufacturing costs and the suppliers annual percentage increase in the wholesale price of thrombin. The agreement expires
on May 29, 2005. During the remainder of 2005 and the first part of 2006, we intend to purchase and take delivery of approximately
$3 million of thrombin to benefit from the pricing provisions of the agreement. We believe that these purchases will satisfy our
thrombin requirements for all of 2005 and 2006. We have executed a supply agreement for a new source of thrombin, which we plan to
fully qualify and bring through the regulatory process over the next two years at a cumulative cost of approximately $3.7 million
in development and qualification expenditures and approximately $400,000 in capital expenditures. We also expect to purchase
approximately $3.0 million of thrombin from our new supplier at the end of 2005. With these planned actions, we expect our
inventory to peak at approximately $8.0 million at the end of 2005, and then decrease throughout all of 2006 as no additional
thrombin is purchased. This investment, while substantial, is within our projected capital resources and will allow us to
introduce new thrombin-based products as well as control our long term cost of thrombin.

We do not have any other
significant cash commitments related to supply agreements, nor do we have any significant commitments for capital expenditures.

We currently anticipate that
we will continue to experience positive cash flow from our normal operating activities, excluding requirements associated with our
new supply of thrombin. We currently believe that our working capital of $11,653,000 and anticipated cash from product sales will
be sufficient to meet all of our operating and capital requirements, including our thrombin inventory purchases under our current
thrombin supply contract and our costs associated with the new supply of thrombin. However, our actual liquidity and capital
requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities; the
amount of revenues from sales of our existing and new products; the cost of maintaining, enforcing and defending patents and other
intellectual property rights; competing technological and market developments; developments related to regulatory and third party
reimbursement matters; the cost and progress of our research and development efforts; and other factors.

13

---

If cash generated from
operations is insufficient to satisfy our cash needs, we may be required to raise additional funds. In the event that additional
financing is needed, and depending on market conditions, we may seek to raise additional funds for working capital purposes
through the sale of equity or debt securities.

# Critical Accounting Policies

Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations addresses our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. The preparation
of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We
base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.

We set forth below those
material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investors understanding of our financial results
and condition and which require complex management judgment.

Inventory

We state our inventory at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. We record reserves for inventory shrinkage and for potentially excess,
obsolete and slow moving inventory based upon historical experience and forecasted demand. At March 31, 2005, this reserve was
$410,000, compared to $430,000 at December 31, 2004. Our reserve requirements could be materially different if demand for our
products decreased because of competitive conditions or market acceptance, or if products become obsolete because of advancements
in the industry.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue upon
shipment of products to customers, net of estimated returns. We analyze the rate of historical returns when evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for sales returns, which is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts on our balance sheet. At
March 31, 2005, this reserve was $25,000, which is an increase of $5,000 from December 31, 2004. If the historical data we use to
calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns, revenue could be overstated.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for
doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. This allowance is
regularly evaluated by us for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the
customer base, age of the receivable balances, both individually and in the aggregate, and current economic conditions that may
affect a customers ability to pay. At March 31, 2005, this reserve was $110,000, which is a decrease of $50,000 from
December 31, 2004. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, additional allowances may be required.

14

---

Income Taxes

The carrying value of our net
deferred tax assets assumes that we will be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the United States and, to a lesser
extent, Germany, based on estimates and assumptions. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of our net
deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we recorded a
$26.7 million valuation allowance related to our net deferred tax assets of $26.7 million. In the event we were to determine that
we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase net
income in the period such determination is made. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets
and assess the requirement for a valuation allowance.

# Cautionary Statement Pursuant to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies
to provide prospective information about their business, so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are
accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those discussed in the statement. We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions with respect to any
forward-looking statements we may make in this filing, other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any public
oral statements or written releases. The words or phrases will likely, is expected, will
continue, is anticipated, estimate, projected, forecast, or similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. Such statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. We caution readers not
to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. In accordance with the Act,
we identify the following important general factors which, if altered from the current status, could cause our actual results to
differ from those described in any forward-looking statements: risks associated with our limited operating history, the
qualification of a new source of thrombin, defense of patent infringement lawsuits, adoption of our new products, lack of
profitability, lack of experience with a direct sales force, exposure to possible product liability claims, the development of new
products by others, dependence on third party distributors in international markets, doing business in international markets,
limited manufacturing experience, the availability of third party reimbursement, actions by the FDA related to our products, the
loss of key vendors, and those factors set forth under the heading Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2004. This list is not exhaustive, and we may supplement this list in any future filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or in connection with the making of any specific forward-looking statement.

# Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Financial instruments that
potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables.
We maintain our accounts for cash and cash equivalents principally at one major bank and one investment firm in the United States.
We have a formal written investment policy that permits only the placement of investments to issuers evaluated as creditworthy. We
have not experienced any losses on our deposits of our cash and cash equivalents.

With respect to accounts
receivable, we perform credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral. There have been no material losses on
accounts receivables.

15

---

In the United States and
Germany, we sell our products directly to hospitals and clinics in the local currency. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of
products to customers.

In all other international
markets, we sell our products to independent distributors who, in turn, sell to medical clinics. We sell our product in these
countries through independent distributors denominated in United States dollars. Loss, termination or ineffectiveness of
distributors to effectively promote our product would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.

We do not believe our
operations are currently subject to significant market risks for interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices
or other relevant market price risks of a material nature.

# Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

# Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Exchange Act of 19934 (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

# Changes in internal controls.

During the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 2005, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

# PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

# Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

On December 11, 2003, we and
a non-officer employee of the Company were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by Diomed, Inc. in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges that in marketing our Vari-Lase endovenous laser procedure kit we
engaged in false advertising and infringed a registered trademark of Diomed. The complaint also alleges that our employee, who
previously worked for a company that conducted business with Diomed, improperly utilized trade secrets of Diomed in developing our
Vari-Lase procedure kit. The complaint requests monetary damages and an injunction on the sale of our Vari-Lase procedure kit. We
believe that the allegations included in the complaint are wholly without merit, have filed our answer to the complaint, and
intend to defend this litigation vigorously. Our insurance carrier has accepted our tender of this claim and is defending this
lawsuit. It is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of this litigation, including whether it will affect our ability to
sell our Vari-Lase procedure kit, or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any.

On March 4, 2004, we were
named as the defendant in an intellectual property lawsuit brought by Diomed, Inc. in the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts. The complaint requested a judgment that our Vari-Lase procedure kit and Vari-Lase laser console
infringes on a single patent held by Diomed, Inc. and asked for relief in the form of an injunction that would prevent us from

16

---

selling our Vari-Lase products, compensatory and treble damages caused by the
manufacture and sale of our product, and other costs, disbursements and attorneys fees. On April 12, 2005, the Judge entered
a Memorandum and Order on Claims Construction from the Markman hearing phase of the litigation. In the Order, the Judge held that
in order to violate the Diomed patent, a competing method must deliberately put the tip of the laser fiber in physical contact
with the wall of the vein, must drain blood from the vein, must compress the vein and must maintain vein wall contact as the laser
energy is delivered. We believe that our Vari-Lase products are not used in this method, and thus we do not believe that the
litigation has merit. It is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of this litigation, including whether it will affect our
ability to sell our Vari-Lase products, or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any.

From time to time we are
involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. As of the date of this report we are not a party to
any legal proceeding not described in this section in which an adverse outcome would reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
