Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:



|1. |  | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
Laserscope (the Company, management, we, us, our) and its wholly
and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated. While the financial information in this
report is unaudited, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods
indicated have been recorded. We suggest that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2000
included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2000. The results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results
expected for the full year.

|3. |  | Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted
average of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share
is calculated using the weighted average of common stock outstanding plus
dilutive common equivalent shares from stock options and warrants. Options
to purchase approximately 2,769,000 and 2,887,000 shares of common stock
were outstanding at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively and warrants to
purchase approximately 459,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at
June 30, 2001. The stock options and warrants outstanding were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods
Laserscope reported losses because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Net revenues were level for the three months ended June 30, 2001 relative to
the corresponding period of 2000, and revenues declined slightly for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 relative to the corresponding period of 2000.

Revenues from the sales of laser systems decreased during the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 relative to the same periods in 2000.

six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 relative to the same periods in 2000,
average selling prices decreased. This decrease in dollar terms is due to a
change in the mix of laser types sold. In 2001, we sold more lower-priced
aesthetic lasers than in 2000. This is partly due to our distribution
arrangement with McKesson/HBOC which we implemented during the first
quarter of
2001. In addition, we sold fewer higher-priced surgical lasers in 2001 than in
2000. The Company expects that its revenue mix trend in all geographic markets
will continue to shift toward lower-priced office-based aesthetic
lasers through at least the end of 2001.

Revenues from the sales of instrumentation and disposable supplies increased
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the
corresponding periods in 2000. The increases during the quarter and
year-to-date are due to increased shipments of scanning devices sold as
accessories to Laserscopes office laser systems partially offset by lower
shipments of disposable supplies.

The Company believes that sales of laser equipment in the United States, which
have trended towards lower-priced office lasers for aesthetic procedures and
away from lasers to be used in the hospital for non-aesthetic procedures, has
resulted in lower sales of disposable supplies and instrumentation. Office
lasers used in aesthetic procedures, although carrying one-time sales of
instrumentation, generally do not create a stream of sales of disposable
supplies. The Company expects revenues from the sales of instrumentation and
disposable supplies to depend on the Laserscopes ability to develop and
promote surgical procedures that use these products and to increase its
installed base of systems.

Laserscopes service revenues increased during the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same periods in 2000.

##### Table of Contents



Increased service
revenues were experienced in all geographic regions as a result of an increase in the number
of service contracts. The Company believes that future revenues depend on
increases to the installed base of lasers as well as the acceptance of its
service contracts by its customers.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenues during the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2001 increased relative to the corresponding periods of 2000.
This is due primarily to a shift towards Laserscopes higher margin Lyra
product as well a shift towards the United States and away from lower margin
international distributors during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Laserscope
expects that gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the remainder of 2001
may vary from quarter to quarter as product and distribution mix varies.

Research and development expenses are the result of activities related to the
development of new laser, instrumentation and disposable products and the
enhancement of Laserscopes existing products. These expenses increased during
the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same
periods in 2000. The increase was driven by product development activity in
the United States on a new laser for treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia.
Since development of this laser is nearly complete, the Company expects that
amounts spent in research and development will decline in the remainder of the
year relative to the prior quarters level.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased during the quarter and
six month periods ended June 30, 2001, compared to the corresponding periods in
2000. This was driven by start-up expenses such as workshops and marketing
material to support the McKesson distribution agreement. Laserscope expects
amounts spent in selling, general and administrative expenses to increase
during the remainder of 2001 as variable selling and marketing expenses
increase.




Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The following table contains selected balance sheet information that serves as
the basis of the discussion of the Companys liquidity and capital resources at
June 30, 2000 and for the six months then ended (in thousands):

|Net working capital       |  | $        | 13,928 |              |  | $ | 14,793 | 

The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due principally to cash generated
by operating and financing activities partially offset by cash used in
investing activities.

##### Table of Contents



Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.2 million. This was the
combined result of the following sources: depreciation and amortization  $0.6
million; increase in deferred service contract revenue  $0.6 million; increase
in accounts payable and accrued payroll  $0.5 million; and a decrease in
warranty liability  $0.2 million. These sources were partially offset by the
following uses: net loss  $0.3 million; increase in inventory  $0.3 million;
and an increase in accounts receivable   $0.1 million.

Cash used by investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of $0.5
million and a translation loss of $0.4 million.

Cash provided by financing activities consisted of increased short-term bank
borrowings, $0.2 million, offset by payments on obligations under capital
leases of $0.2 million.

Laserscope has in place an asset-based line of credit that provides up to $6.0
million and expires in September 2001. Credit is extended based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventory. At June 30, 2001, we had approximately $3.0
million in borrowing base available against the $0.9 million outstanding and
the $1.1 million in letter of credit reserve requirements. As of June 30, 2001
we complied with all covenants.

We anticipate that future changes in cash and working capital will be dependent
on a number of factors including:

Our ability to effectively manage non-cash assets such as inventory and
accounts receivable;

Our ability to anticipate and adapt to the changes in our industry such as
new and alternative medical procedures;

Our level of profitability;

Our determination to acquire or invest in products and businesses
complementary to ours.

The market price for our common stock as it affects the exercise of stock
options.

We have historically financed acquisitions using our existing cash resources.
While we believe our existing cash resources, including our bank line of credit
will be sufficient to fund our operating needs for the next twelve months,
additional financing will be required for our currently envisioned long-term
needs.

There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on
terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, future equity financings could
result in dilution to our shareholders, and future debt financings could result
in certain financial and operational restrictions.




Risk Factors:

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been, and in
the future may be, affected by a variety of factors, including those set forth
below and elsewhere in this report.

10



---



##### Table of Contents



Limited Working Capital; Potential Need to Raise Additional Capital.

Current and anticipated demand for our products as well as procurement and
production affect our need for capital. Changes in these or other factors could
have a material impact on capital requirements and may require us to raise
additional capital.

History of Losses; Uncertain Future Profitability.

There can be no assurance that we can achieve or maintain profitability on a
quarterly basis or at all.

Technological Change; Uncertain New Product Development and Acceptance.

We operate in an industry that is subject to rapid technological change. Our
ability to remain competitive and future operating results will depend upon,
among other things, our ability to anticipate and respond rapidly to such change by developing,
manufacturing and marketing technologically innovative products in sufficient
quantities at acceptable costs to meet such demand. Without new products and
enhancements, our existing products will likely become technologically
obsolete, which could result in the write-off of inventory as well as
diminished revenues. Therefore, we intend to continue to invest significant
amounts in research and development.

Government Regulation; Uncertainty of Obtaining Regulatory Approval.

Government regulation in the United States and other countries is a significant
factor in the development, manufacturing and marketing of many of our products.
There can be no assurance that the appropriate regulatory agencies will grant
us the clearance to market our future products on a timely basis, or at all.

Insurance Reimbursement.

Demand for certain of our products depends on government and private insurance
reimbursement of hospitals and physicians for health care costs, including, but
not limited to, reimbursement of capital equipment costs. Reductions or delays
in such insurance coverage or reimbursement may negatively impact hospitals
and physicians decision to purchase our products, adversely affecting our
future sales.

Dependence on Single-Source Suppliers and Certain Third Parties.

Certain of the components used in our laser products, including certain optical
components, are purchased from single sources. While we believe that most of
these components are available from alternate sources, an interruption of these
or other supplies could adversely affect our ability to manufacture lasers.

Competition.

We compete in the non-ophthalmic surgical segment of the worldwide medical
laser market. In this market, lasers are used in hospital operating rooms,
outpatient surgery centers and individual physician offices for a wide variety
of procedures. This market is highly competitive. Our competitors are numerous
and include some of the worlds largest organizations as well as smaller,
highly-specialized firms. We cannot assure that we can compete successfully
against these organizations.

11

##### Table of Contents



Reliance on Patents and Licenses.

We cannot assure that any patents or licenses that we hold or that may be
issued as a result of our patent applications will provide any competitive
advantages for our products. Nor can we assure that any of the patents that we
now hold or may hold in the future will not be successfully challenged,
invalidated or circumvented in the future. In addition, we cannot assure that
competitors, many of which have substantial resources and have made substantial
investments in competing technologies, will not seek to apply for and obtain
patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, issue,
use and sell our products.

Failure to Attract or Retain Key Personnel Can Adversely Affect Results.

We depend upon the efforts and abilities of a number of current key personnel.
If we are unable to attract and retain key employees it would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results.

A number of factors affect our quarterly financial results including the timing
of shipments and orders. Our laser products are relatively expensive pieces of
medical capital equipment and the precise shipment date of specific units can
have a marked effect on our results of operations on a quarterly basis. Any
delay in product shipments near the end of a quarter could cause our quarterly
results to fall short of anticipated levels. Furthermore, to the extent we
receive orders near the end of a quarter, we may not be able to fulfill the
order during the balance of that same quarter. Moreover, we typically receive
a disproportionate percentage of orders toward the end of each quarter. To the
extent that we do not receive anticipated orders or orders are delayed beyond
the end of the applicable quarter, our results may be adversely affected and
may be unpredictable from quarter to quarter. In addition, because a
significant portion of our revenues in each quarter result from orders received
in that quarter, we base our production, inventory and operating expenditure
levels on anticipated revenue levels. Thus, if sales do not occur when
expected, expenditure levels could be disproportionately high and operating
results for that quarter and potentially future quarters, would be adversely
affected. We cannot assure that Laserscope will accomplish revenue growth or
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Nor can we assure that revenue
growth or profitability will not fluctuate significantly from quarter to
quarter.

Product Liability Risk; Limited Insurance Coverage.

Our business has significant risks of product liability claims. We have
experienced product liability claims from time to time, which we believe are
ordinary for our business. While we cannot predict or determine the outcome of
the actions brought against us, we believe that these actions will not
ultimately have a material adverse impact on Laserscopes financial position or
results of operations.

At present, we maintain product liability insurance on a claims made basis
with coverage of $10.0 million in the aggregate with a deductible of $0.1
million per occurrence and an annual maximum aggregate deductible of $0.5
million. We cannot assure that such insurance coverage will be available to us
in the future at a reasonable cost, if at all. Nor can we assure that other
claims will not be brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage.

Factors Affecting Financial Results and Stock Price.

A number of factors affect our financial results and stock price including, but
not limited to:



| |  | product mix;
| |  | ------------

##### Table of Contents



| |  | competitive pricing pressures;
| |  | ------------------------------



| |  | material costs;
| |  | ---------------



| |  | revenue and expenses related to new products and enhancements to existing products;
| |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | delays in customer purchases in anticipation of new products or product enhancements by Laserscope or its competitors.
| |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The market price of our common stock may be subject to significant
fluctuations. These fluctuations may be due to factors specific to Laserscope,
such as:



| |  | quarterly fluctuations in our financial results;
| |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  | changes in analysts estimates of future results;
| |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  | changes in investors perceptions of our products;
| |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  | announcement of new or enhanced products by us or our competitors;
| |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | announcements relating to acquisitions and strategic transactions by us or our competitors;
| |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | general conditions in the medical equipment industry;
| |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  | general conditions in the financial markets.
| |  | --------------------------------------------

The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations, particularly among stocks of high technology companies, which, on
occasion, have been unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. Factors not directly related to Laserscopes performance, such as
negative industry reports or disappointing earnings announcements by publicly
traded competitors, may have an adverse impact on the market price of our
common stock.

As of July 31, 2001, we had 16,008,560 shares of outstanding common stock. The
sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock or the perception that
such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our
common stock.

International Business.

We intend to continue our operations outside of the United States and
potentially to enter additional international markets. These activities
require significant management attention and financial resources and further
subject us to the risks of operating internationally.

Legal Proceedings.

Laserscope is a party to a number of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the
outcome of the actions brought against us, we believe that the ultimate
resolution of these claims will not ultimately have a material adverse effect
on Laserscopes financial position or results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk.

(See Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.)

Warranty Obligations.

We have a direct field service organization that provides service for our
products. We generally provide a twelve month warranty on our laser systems.
After the warranty period, maintenance and support is provided on a variety of
service contract bases or on an individual

call basis. We also have a 99.0% Uptime Guarantee on our laser systems.
Under provisions of this guarantee, we extend the term of the related warranty
or service contract if specified system uptime levels are not maintained.
Although most systems covered by this guarantee have achieved a 99.0% uptime
rate to date, we cannot assure that we can maintain such uptime rates in the
future.

No Dividends.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
paying cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. The
payment of dividends on the common stock will depend on our earnings, financial
condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as
the Board of Directors may consider relevant.

Penny Stock Rules.

Our common stock is traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) National Market System, which requires that a
company have, among other things, a minimum bid price of $1.00 in order to
qualify for continued listing. If we fail to maintain our listing for our
common stock on the NASDAQ National Market System, and no other exclusion from
the definition of penny stock under the Exchange Act is available, any
brokers engaging in transactions in our securities would be required to provide
their customers with a risk disclosure document, the compensation of the
broker/dealer in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the
market values of our securities held in the customers accounts. The bid and
offer quotations and compensation information must be provided prior to
effecting the transaction and must be contained on the customers confirmation.
If brokers become subject to the penny stock rules when engaging in
transactions in our securities, they would become less willing to engage in
such transactions, thereby making it more difficult for shareholders to dispose
of their shares of Laserscope common stock.

Dilution.

Shareholders may experience dilution in the net tangible book value of their
investment upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants granted under
Laserscopes stock option plans and other options, warrants and outstanding
convertible securities.

Other.

Other risks are detailed from time to time in our press releases and other
public disclosure filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), copies of which are available upon request from the Company.




Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Laserscope is exposed to a variety of risks, including changes in interest
rates affecting the return on its investments, outstanding debt balances and
foreign currency fluctuations. In the normal course of business, the Company
employs established policies and procedures to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency values.

14



---



##### Table of Contents



Interest Rate Risk

Laserscopes exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our investment and debt portfolios. We have not used derivative
financial instruments in our investment or debt portfolios. We invest our
excess cash in money market funds and commercial paper. Our debt financings
consist of convertible debentures and bank loans requiring either fixed or
variable rate interest payments. Investments in and borrowings under both
fixed-rate and floating-rate interest-earning instruments carry a degree of
interest rate risk. On the investment side, fixed-rate securities may have
their fair market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates,
while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if
interest rates fall. In addition, our future investment income may fall short
of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in
principal if forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due
to changes in interest rates. On the debt side, borrowings that require
fixed-rate interest payments require greater than current market rate interest
payments if interest rates fall, while floating rate borrowings may require
greater interest payments if interest rates rise. Additionally, Laserscopes
future interest expense may be greater than expected due to changes in interest
rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

International revenues were 29% and 34% of total revenues in the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively compared to 28% and 34% during the
comparable periods in 2000. International sales are made through international
distributors and wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries with payments to the
Company typically denominated in the local currencies of the United Kingdom and
France, and in U.S. dollars in the rest of the world. Our international
business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including,
but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political
climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and
foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be
materially adversely affected by changes in these or other factors. The effect
of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the Company in the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was not material, and we do not engage in
hedging transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
