HEALTHTRONICS, INC.



ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K



FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004



PART I



ITEM 1. BUSINESS



General



On November 10, 2004, Prime Medical Services,
Inc. (Prime) completed a merger with HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. (HSS) pursuant to which Prime merged with and into HSS, with HealthTronics, Inc. (HealthTronics) as the surviving corporation. Under the
terms of the merger agreement, as a result of the merger, Primes stockholders received one share of HealthTronics common stock for each share of Prime common stock they owned. Immediately following the merger, Primes stockholders owned
approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of HealthTronics common stock, and Primes directors and senior management represented a majority of the combined companys directors and senior management. As a result, Prime was deemed to be
the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The consideration paid (purchase price) was allocated to the tangible and intangible net assets of HSS based on their fair values, and the net assets of HSS were recorded at their fair values as of the completion of the merger and added to
those of Prime. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were deemed to be those of HealthTronics because HealthTronics was the surviving legal entity.



In this document, references to we, us, our and HealthTronics shall mean HealthTronics and its consolidated subsidiaries
after the merger, except when the context requires, such references shall refer to HealthTronics and its consolidated subsidiaries either before or after the merger. References to Prime shall mean Prime and its consolidated subsidiaries
before the merger, and references to HSS shall mean HSS and its consolidated subsidiaries before the merger.



We now provide healthcare services and manufacture medical devices, primarily to the urology community as well as manufacture and design specialty vehicles used for the
transport of high technology medical and broadcast and communications equipment.



In February 2004, we acquired Medstone International, Inc. for approximately $19 million. Medstone manufactures, sells, and maintains lithotripters and makes them available for use by health care providers under various fee-for-service
arrangements in both fixed and mobile settings. Medstone and its subsidiaries also market fixed and mobile tables for urological treatments and imaging, patient handling tables for use by pain management clinics and other users, and x-ray generators
for medical imaging. A pioneer in the manufacture of shockwave lithotripsy, Medstones lithotripter was the first FDA approved device to treat both kidney stones and gallstones. With more than 130



---

##### Index to Financial Statements

lithotripters in operation worldwide, and more than 324 urology and patient handling tables in use, the Medstone devices
are well established in the urology office and hospital market. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Medstone had revenue of $21 million, comprised of $15 million in service revenue and $6 million in equipment sales.



For a discussion of recent developments, see Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Recent Developments.



Urology



Lithotripsy Services. According to the
American Foundation for Urologic Disease, nearly 10% of Americans are afflicted with kidney stones during their lifetime. Most kidney stones occur within the 40-60 year old age group. The two primary forms of treatment of kidney stones are
lithotripsy and endoscopy, a form of invasive surgery that sometimes utilizes a laser. Of the estimated 600,000 kidney stone cases each year, approximately 225,000 to 250,000 are treated with lithotripsy. Lithotripsy uses extracorporeal shock waves
to break up kidney stones into small pieces, which can pass naturally through the bodys urinary tract. This procedure is a non-invasive procedure for treating kidney stones, typically performed on an outpatient basis, that eliminates the need
for lengthy hospital stays and extensive recovery periods associated with surgery.



Our services are provided principally through limited partnerships or other entities that we manage, which use FDA-approved lithotripsy medical devices. Generally, in providing lithotripsy services, we provide the lithotripter equipment and
clinical technicians who assist physicians with the operation of the equipment during procedures. We do not render any medical services. Rather, the physicians do.



We have two types of contracts, retail and wholesale, that we enter into in providing our lithotripsy services. Retail contracts are
contracts where we contract with the hospital and private insurance payors. Wholesale contracts are contracts where we contract only with the hospital. The two approaches functionally differ in that, under a retail contract, we generally bill for
the entire non-physician fee for all patients other than governmental pay patients, for which the hospital bills the non-physician fee. Under a wholesale contract, the hospital generally bills for the entire non-physician fee for all patients. In
both cases, the billing party contractually bears the costs associated with the billing service, including pre-certification, as well as non-collection. The non-billing party is generally entitled to its fees regardless of whether the billing party
actually collects the non-physician fee. Accordingly, under the wholesale contracts where we are the non-billing party, the hospital generally receives a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee to compensate for its billing costs and
collection risk. Conversely, under the retail contracts where we generally provide the billing services and bear the collection risk, we receive a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee.



Although the non-physician fee under both retail and wholesale contracts varies widely based
on geographical markets and the identity of the third party payor, we estimate that nationally, on average, our share of the non-physician fee was roughly $1,900 and $2,100, respectively, for 2004 and 2003. At this time, we do not anticipate a
material shift between our retail and wholesale arrangements.

##### Index to Financial Statements

As the general partner of the limited partnerships, we also provide services relating to operating our lithotripters,
including scheduling, staffing, training, quality assurance, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and contracting with payors, hospitals and surgery centers. We do not directly bill, nor do we collect for services rendered to, Medicare or Medicaid.



Benign Prostate Disease and Prostate Cancer Treatment. Also in the
urology sement, we provide treatments for benign and cancerous conditions of the prostate. In treating benign prostate disease, we use a technology called transurethral microwave therapy, a process in which heat therapy is used to treat the enlarged
prostate, or we may use a green light laser. For treating prostate and other cancers, we use a procedure called cryosurgery, a process which uses a double freeze thaw cycle to destroy cancer cells.



Urology Equipment Sales. We also, through Medstone International, Inc., our
wholly-owned subsidiary, manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters, and market fixed and mobile tables for urological treatments and imaging, as well as patient handling tables for use by pain management clinics.



Urology Revenues. Although, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
manufacturing revenue was higher than urology revenue, the operating margins on urology revenue have been, historically, much higher than on manufacturing revenue. We recognize urology revenue primarily from the following sources:



| |  |  | Fees for urology services. A substantial majority of our urology revenue is derived from fees related to lithotripsy treatments performed using our lithotripters. We, through
our partnerships or other entities, facilitate the use of our equipment and provide other support services in connection with these treatments at hospitals and other health care facilities. The professional fee payable to the physician performing
the procedure is generally billed and collected by the physician. Benign prostate disease and prostate cancer treatment services are billed in the same manner as our lithotripsy services under either retail or wholesale contracts. These services are
also primarily performed through limited partnerships, which we manage.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fees for operating our lithotripters. Through our partnerships and otherwise directly by us, we provide services related to operating our lithotripters and receive a
management fee for performing these services. In addition, we provide equipment maintenance services to our partnerships and supply them with other consumables.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fees for equipment sales and licensing applications. We manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters and certain medical tables. In addition to the original sales price we
receive for lithotripter sales, we receive a licensing fee for each patient treated from the owner of the lithotripter. In exchange for this licensing fee, we also provide the owner of the lithotripter with certain consumables.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Specialty Vehicle Manufacturing



We design, construct and engineer mobile trailers and coaches that transport high technology
medical devices, equipment designed for mobile command and control centers, and equipment for broadcasting and communications applications. During 1997, we acquired a majority interest in AK



3



---

##### Index to Financial Statements

Specialty Vehicles, which provides manufacturing services, installation, refurbishment and repair of trailers and coaches
for mobile medical services providers, including non-lithotripsy medical services such as magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac catheterization labs, CT scanners, and postitron emission tomography. In May 2002, we acquired the remaining minority
ownership interest in AK Specialty Vehicles which is now one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.



In May 2001, we broadened our manufacturing platform by acquiring the assets of Calumet Coach Company (Calumet). Since its founding more than 50 years ago, Calumet has produced thousands of special-purpose
mobile units, earning a worldwide reputation for leadership in innovative design and quality manufacturing. Calumets customers include industry leaders such as GE Medical Systems, Philips, Siemens Medical Systems, Dornier Medical Systems,
hundreds of hospital systems and healthcare providers, and numerous broadcast and production companies.



In May 2002, we acquired the assets and certain liabilities of Frontline Communications Corporation (Frontline). Frontline is a leading manufacturer and integrator of custom vehicles for the broadcast and
communications industry. This acquisition substantially expanded our market share in the broadcast and communications industry.



In July 2002, we acquired Holland-based Smit Mobile Equipment Company (Smit). Smit is a leading European manufacturer of mobile medical imaging vehicles. The
Smit acquisition expanded our presence in the global marketplace as a manufacturer of specialty vehicles and strengthened our strategic position in the growing European market for high technology mobile medical imaging and broadcast and
communication vehicles.



In January 2003, we acquired Aluminum Body Corporation
(ABC). The acquisition of ABC extends our position in the manufacture of command and control vehicles for the Homeland Security and military and government markets. Additionally, this acquisition provides us an important west coast hub
for the service and sale of all of the products manufactured within our manufacturing group.



In February 2003, we acquired Winemiller Communications (Winemiller). Winemiller provides turnkey remanufacturing and refurbishing of specialty vehicles utilized by the broadcast community and is a
recognized leader in the application of microwave technology solutions.



Our
manufacturing business is headquartered in Harvey, Illinois, with additional manufacturing operations in Calumet City, Illinois; Clearwater, Florida; Riverside, California and Oud Bierjland, Holland. Additionally, we operate a service and sales
facility in Camberley, England.



Orthotripsy



In orthopaedics, we provide non-invasive surgical solutions for a wide variety of
orthopaedic conditions such as chronic plantar fasciitis and chronic lateral epicondylitis, more commonly known as heel pain and tennis elbow, respectively. We provide these services with our device called the OssaTron, which is an evolution of the
lithotripsy technology. The OssaTron is approved by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the two previously stated indications and has been demonstrated to be effective through good clinical studies. As of December 31, 2004, we are planning
to divest this business segment and accordingly have shown it as held for sale in our 2004 consolidated financial statements, which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Refractive



Refractive Vision Correction (RVC) refers to the correction of common vision disorders such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and
astigmatism using specialized laser applications. During 1999 and 2000, we acquired eleven refractive centers, and affiliated with physicians specializing in refractive surgery.



In 2002, we completed the divesture of our RVC operations, thereby affording us the opportunity to focus our resources on opportunities in
our urology and specialty vehicle manufacturing businesses.



Revenues and
Industry Segments



The information required by Regulation S-K Items
101(b) and 101(d) related to financial information about segments and financial information about sales is contained in Note M of our consolidated financial statements, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



Competition



The lithotripsy services market is highly fragmented and competitive. We compete with other companies, private facilities and medical
centers that offer lithotripsy machines and services, including smaller regional and local lithotripsy service providers. Certain of our current and potential competitors have substantial financial resources and may compete with us for acquisitions
and development of operations in markets targeted by us. Additionally, while we believe that lithotripsy has emerged as the superior treatment for kidney stone disease, we also compete with hospitals, clinics and individual medical practitioners
that offer alternative treatments for kidney stones.



We also compete with
other manufacturers of minimally invasive medical devices in our markets. The primary competitors include Dornier MedTech GmbH, Siemens AG, Storz Medical, Richard Wolf GmbH and Direx.



In our manufacturing segment, we compete with national, regional and local designers and manufacturers of trailers and coaches for
transporting medical devices and mobile equipment designed for mobile command and control centers and equipment for the media and broadcast industry.



Potential Liabilities-Insurance



All medical procedures performed in connection with our business activities are conducted directly by, or under the supervision of, physicians who are not our employees.
We do not provide medical services to any patients. However, patients being treated at health care facilities at which we provide our non-medical services could suffer a medical emergency resulting in serious injury or death, which could subject us
to the risk of lawsuits seeking substantial damages.



5

##### Index to Financial Statements

We currently maintain general and professional liability insurance with a total limit of $1,000,000 per loss event and
$3,000,000 policy aggregate and an umbrella excess limit of $10,000,000, with a deductible of $50,000 per occurrence. In addition, we require medical professionals who utilize our services to maintain professional liability insurance. All of these
insurance policies are subject to annual renewal by the insurer. If these policies were to be canceled or not renewed, or failed to provide sufficient coverage for our liabilities, we might be forced to self-insure against the potential liabilities
referred to above. In that event, a single incident might result in an award of damages that might have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.



Government Regulation and Supervision



We are directly, or indirectly through physicians and hospitals and other health care facilities, which we will refer to as Customers,
subject to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the governments in states in which we conduct business, including:



| |  |  | the federal False Claims Act;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | the federal Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback Law, and state anti-kickback prohibitions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | federal and state billing and claims submission laws and regulations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and state laws relating to patient privacy;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the federal physician self-referral prohibition commonly known as the Stark Law and the state law equivalents of the Stark Law;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine by non-physicians, and prohibit fee-splitting arrangements involving physicians; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | federal and state laws governing the equipment we use in our business concerning patient safety and equipment operating specifications.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Practices prohibited by these statutes include, but are not limited to, the payment, receipt,
offer, or solicitation of money or other consideration in connection with the referral of patients for services covered by a federal or state health care program. We contract with physicians under a variety of financial arrangements, and physicians
have ownership interests in some entities in which we also have an interest. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations to which we or our Customers are subject, we may be subject to the applicable penalty
associated with the violation, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from the Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs, loss of licenses, and the curtailment of our operations. While we believe that
we are in compliance with all applicable laws, we cannot assure that our activities will be found to be in compliance with these laws if scrutinized by regulatory authorities. Any penalties, damages, fines or curtailment of our operations,
individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risks of us being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been
fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or in the courts, and their



6



---

##### Index to Financial Statements

provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action brought against us for violation of these laws or
regulations, even if we were to successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our managements attention from the operation of our business.



As previously reported on a Form 8-K filed by Prime on September 28, 2004, we concluded an
internal investigation of a business transaction involving our manufacturing division, which transaction may have violated the federal anti-kickback laws. We voluntarily reported the transaction to the U.S. General Services Administration, or GSA.
Although the GSA has yet to assign a government investigator in response to our voluntary disclosure, we intend to fully cooperate with any GSA investigation. Based on the findings of our outside legal counsel, we (1) believe this was an isolated
incident, (2) do not believe the pending resolution of this matter will materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation, or business, and (3) believe there is a low to moderate risk that the federal government would
suspend or eliminate AKSV from federal government procurement contracting for some period of time.



Equipment



We purchase our
urology equipment and maintain that equipment with either internal personnel or pursuant to service contracts with the manufacturers or other service companies. For mobile lithotripsy, we either purchase or lease the tractor, usually for a term up
to five years, and purchase the trailer or a self contained coach.



We are not
dependent on one manufacturer of lithotripters and have no long term or multi-system purchase commitments for equipment in place.



Employees



As of February 28, 2005, we employed approximately 920 full-time employees and approximately 8 part-time employees.



Risk Factors



We may not realize the benefits of the merger between Prime and HSS if we experience difficulties integrating the operations of the two companies.



To be successful after the merger, we will need to complete the integration of the operations of the separate companies into one company.
Integration requires substantial management attention and could detract attention away from the day-to-day business of the combined company. We could encounter difficulties in the integration process, such as the loss of key employees, customers or
suppliers. If we do not integrate the businesses successfully, we may fail to realize the benefits we expect to realize from the merger.



Also, the continued success of the merger will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated operating efficiencies and cost savings from combining the
businesses of HSS and Prime. The amount of our cost savings will depend in part on our ability to combine the businesses of HSS and Prime in a way that permits those costs savings to be realized. If our estimates are incorrect or we are not able to
successfully combine our two companies, anticipated cost savings may not be realized fully or at all, or make take longer to realize than anticipated.

The market price of our common stock may decline if we fail to successfully integrate the operations of Prime and HSS
and realize anticipated benefits of the merger.



The market price of our
common stock could decline as a result of the merger, based on the occurrence of a number of events, including:



| |  |  | the failure to successfully integrate Prime and HSS; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the belief that we have not realized the perceived benefits of the merger in a timely manner or at all.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our high levels of indebtedness may limit our financial and operating flexibility.



We continue to have high levels of debt and interest expense. Our long-term debt as of
December 31, 2004 was approximately $110.3 million, not including the current portion of long-term debt of $39.8 million on that date. Our debt to equity ratio as of December 31, 2004 was approximately 0.69.



We have a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of $50.0 million, $32.0 million of
which was drawn at December 31, 2004. In addition, we have outstanding $100.0 million of 8.75% senior subordinated notes (8.75% notes) due April 2008. The 8.75% notes are unsecured general obligations and are subordinated in right of
payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and are guaranteed by our subsidiaries on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis.



We have been assigned a B-1 senior implied rating and the 8.75% notes have been assigned a B-3 rating by Moodys Investor Service Inc. We have also been assigned a
BB- corporate credit rating by Standard and Poors Ratings Group. All of these ratings are below investment grade. As a result, at times we may have difficulty accessing capital markets or raising capital on favorable terms as we will incur
higher borrowing costs than our competitors that have higher ratings. Therefore, our financial results may be negatively affected by our inability to raise capital or the cost of such capital as a result of our credit ratings.



We must comply with various covenants contained in our revolving credit facility, the
indenture related to the 8.75% notes and any other future debt arrangements that, among other things, limit our ability to:



| |  |  | incur additional debt or liens;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | make payments in respect of or redeem or acquire any debt or equity issued by us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sell assets;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | make loans or investments;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | acquire or be acquired by other companies; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | amend some of our contracts.
| | - |  | ----------------------------

##### Index to Financial Statements

Our substantial debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:



| |  |  | increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit our ability to fund future working capital and capital expenditures, to engage in future acquisitions, or to otherwise realize the value of our assets and opportunities fully
because of the need to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt or to comply with any restrictive terms of our debt;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industry in which we operate; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | place us at a competitive disadvantage as compared to our competitors that have less debt.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In addition, if we fail to comply with the terms of any of our debt, our lenders will have the right to accelerate the maturity of that debt
and foreclose upon the collateral, if any, securing that debt. Realization of any of these factors could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.



If we are not able to establish or maintain relationships with physicians and hospitals, our ability to successfully commercialize our
current or future service offerings will be materially harmed.



We are
dependent on health care providers in two respects. First, if physicians and hospitals and other health care facilities, which we will refer to as Customers, determine that our services are not of sufficiently high quality or reliability, or if our
Customers determine that our services are not cost effective, they will not utilize our services. In addition, any change in the rates of or conditions for reimbursement could substantially reduce (1) the number of procedures for which we or our
Customers can obtain reimbursement or (2) the amounts reimbursed to us or our Customers for services provided by us. If third-party payors reduce the amount of their payments to Customers, our Customers may seek to reduce their payments to us or
seek an alternate supplier of services. Because unfavorable reimbursement policies have constricted and may continue to constrict the profit margins of the hospitals and clinics we bill directly, we may need to lower our fees to retain existing
customers and attract new ones. These reductions could have a significant adverse effect on our revenues and financial results by decreasing demand for services or creating downward pricing pressure. Second, physicians generally own equity interests
in our partnerships. We provide a variety of services to the partnerships and in general manage their day-to-day affairs. Our operations could become disrupted, and financial results adversely affected, if these physician partners became
dissatisfied with our services or if we became involved in disputes with our partners.



We are subject to extensive federal and state health care regulation.



We are subject to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the governments in states in which we conduct business. See Government Regulation and Supervision under this Part I for further discussion on these
regulations.

##### Index to Financial Statements

Third party payors could refuse to reimburse health care providers for use of our current or future service offerings
and products, which could make our revenues decline.



Third party payors
are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement of medical procedures and treatments. In addition, significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved
health care products. Lithotripsy treatments are reimbursed under various federal and state programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, as well as under private health care programs, primarily at fixed rates. Governmental programs are subject to
statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy and governmental funding restrictions, and private programs are subject to policy changes and commercial considerations, all of which may have the effect of
decreasing program payments, increasing costs or requiring us to modify the way in which we operate our business. These changes could have a material adverse effect on us.



New and proposed federal and state laws and regulatory initiatives relating to various initiatives in health care reform (such as
improving privacy and the security of patient information and combating health care fraud) could require us to expend substantial sums to appropriately respond to and comply with this broad variety of legislation (such as acquiring and implementing
new information systems for privacy and security protection), which could negatively impact our financial results.



Recent legislation and several regulatory initiatives at the state and federal levels address patient privacy concerns. New federal legislation extensively regulates the
use and disclosure of individually identifiable health-related information and the security and standardization of electronically maintained or transmitted health-related information. We do not yet know the total financial or other impact of these
regulations on our business. Continuing compliance with these regulations will likely require us to spend substantial sums, including, but not limited to, purchasing new computer systems, which could negatively impact our financial results.
Additionally, if we fail to comply with the privacy regulations, we could suffer civil penalties of up to $25,000 per calendar year per standard (with well over fifty standards with which to comply) and criminal penalties with fines of up to
$250,000 for willful and knowing violations. In addition, health care providers will continue to remain subject to any state laws that are more restrictive than the federal privacy regulations. These privacy laws vary by state and could impose
additional penalties.



The provisions of HIPAA criminalize situations that
previously were handled exclusively civilly through repayments of overpayments, offsets and fines by creating new federal health care fraud crimes. Further, as with the federal laws, general state criminal laws may be used to prosecute health care
fraud and abuse. We believe that our business arrangements and practices comply with existing health care fraud law. However, a violation could subject us to penalties, fines and/or possible exclusion from Medicare or Medicaid. Such sanctions could
significantly reduce our revenue or profits.



A number of proposals for health
care reform have been made in recent years, some of which have included radical changes in the health care system. Health care reform could result in material changes in the financing and regulation of the health care business, and we are unable to
predict the effect of such change on our future operations. It is uncertain what legislation on health care reform, if any, will ultimately be implemented or whether other changes in the administration of or

interpretation of existing laws involving governmental health care programs will occur. There can be no assurance that
future health care legislation or other changes in the administration of or interpretation of existing legislation regarding governmental health care programs will not have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations.



We face intense competition and rapid technological change that could result in products
that are superior to the products we manufacture or superior to the products on which our current or proposed services are based.



Competition in our business segments is intense. We compete with national, regional and local providers of urology services and designers and manufacturers of trailers
and coaches for transporting medical devices and mobile equipment designed for mobile command and control centers and equipment for the media and broadcast industry. This competition could lead to a decrease in our profitability. Moreover, if our
customers determine that our competitors offer better quality products or services or are more cost effective, we could lose business to these competitors. The medical device and specialty vehicle industries are subject to rapid and significant
technological change. Others may develop technologies or products that are more effective or less costly than our products or the products on which our services are based, which could render our products or services obsolete or noncompetitive. Our
business is also impacted by competition between lithotripsy services, on the one hand, and surgical and other established methods for treating urological conditions, on the other hand.



We may be subject to costly and time-consuming product liability actions that would materially harm our business.



Our urology services and manufacturing business exposes us to potential product liability
risks that are inherent in these industries. All medical procedures performed in connection with our business activities are performed by or under the supervision of physicians who are not our employees. We do not perform medical procedures.
However, we may be held liable if patients undergoing urology treatments using our devices are injured. We may also face product liability claims as a result of our specialty vehicle manufacturing. We cannot ensure that we will be able to avoid
product liability exposure. Product liability insurance is generally expensive, if available at all. We cannot ensure that our present insurance coverage is adequate or that we can obtain adequate insurance coverage at a reasonable cost in the
future.



Our success will depend partly on our ability to operate without
infringing on or utilizing the proprietary rights of others.



The medical
device industry is characterized by a substantial amount of litigation over patent and other intellectual property rights. No one has claimed that any of our medical devices infringe on their intellectual property rights; however, it is possible
that we may have unintentionally infringed on others patents or other intellectual property rights. Intellectual property litigation is costly. If we do not prevail in any litigation, in addition to any damages we might have to pay, we could
be required to stop the infringing activity or obtain a license. Any required license may not be available to us on acceptable terms. If we fail to obtain a required license or are unable to design around a patent, we may be unable to sell some of
our products, which would reduce our revenues and net income.

If we fail to attract and retain key personnel and principal members of our management staff, our business, financial
condition and operating results could be materially harmed.



Our success
depends greatly on our ability to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel, as well as to retain the principal members of our existing management staff. The loss of services of any key personnel could adversely affect our
current operations and our ability to implement our growth strategy. There is intense competition within our industry for qualified staff, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain the necessary qualified staff to develop
our business. If we fail to attract and retain key management staff, or if we lose any of our current management team, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially harmed.



The market price of our common stock may experience substantial fluctuation for reasons
over which we have little control.



Our stock price has a history of
volatility. Fluctuations have occurred even in the absence of significant developments pertaining to our business. Stock prices and trading volume of companies in the health care and health services industry have fallen and risen dramatically in
recent years. Both company-specific and industry-wide developments may cause this volatility. During 2004, HealthTronics stock price ranged from $5.87 to $10.79. Factors that could impact the market price of our common stock include the
following:



| |  |  | future announcements concerning us, our competition or the health care services market generally;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments relating to our relationships with hospitals, other health care facilities, or physicians;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments relating to our sources of supply;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | claims made or litigation filed against us;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in, or new interpretations of, government regulations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in operating results from quarter to quarter;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales of stock by insiders;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | news reports relating to trends in our markets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acquisitions and financings in our industry; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | overall volatility of the stock market.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



Furthermore, stock prices for many companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations, coupled with changes in
our results of operations and general economic, political and market conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our acquisition strategy could fail or present unanticipated problems for our business in the future, which could
adversely affect our ability to make acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from those acquisitions.



We have followed an acquisition strategy since 1992 that has resulted in rapid growth in our business. This acquisition strategy may include acquiring healthcare services
and specialty vehicle manufacturing businesses and is dependent on the continued availability of suitable acquisition candidates and our ability to finance and complete any particular acquisition successfully. Moreover, the Federal Trade Commission,
or FTC, initiated an investigation in 1991 to determine whether the limited partnerships in which Lithotripters, Inc., now one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, was the general partner posed an unreasonable threat to competition in the healthcare
field. While the FTC closed its investigation and took no action, the FTC or another governmental authority charged with the enforcement of federal or state antitrust laws or a private litigant might, due to our size and market share, seek to (1)
restrict our future growth by prohibiting or restricting the acquisition of additional lithotripsy operations or (2) require that we divest certain of our lithotripsy operations. Furthermore, acquisitions involve a number of risks and challenges,
including:



| |  |  | diversion of managements attention;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to integrate acquired operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an increase in our expenses and working capital requirements.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



Any of these factors could adversely affect our ability to achieve anticipated levels of cash flows from our acquired businesses or realize other anticipated benefits
from those acquisitions.



Our results of operations could be adversely
affected as a result of goodwill impairments.



Goodwill represents the
excess of the purchase price paid for a company over the fair value of that companys tangible and intangible net assets acquired. As of December 31, 2004, we had goodwill of $296 million. If we determine in the future that the fair value of
any of our reporting segments does not exceed the carrying value of the related reporting segment, goodwill in that reporting segment will be deemed impaired. If impaired, the amount of goodwill will be reduced to the value determined by us to be
the fair value of the reporting segment. The amount of the reduction will be deducted from earnings during the period in which the impairment occurs. An impairment will also reduce stockholders equity in the period incurred by the amount of
the impairment.



Our manufacturing operations are partially dependent upon
third-party suppliers, making us vulnerable to a supply shortage.



We
obtain materials and manufactured components from third-party suppliers. Some of our suppliers are the sole source for a particular supply item. Any delay in our suppliers abilities to provide us with necessary material and components may
affect our manufacturing capabilities or may require us to seek alternative supply sources. Delays in obtaining supplies may result from a number of factors affecting our suppliers, such as capacity constraints, labor disputes, the impaired
financial condition of a particular supplier, suppliers allocations to other purchasers, weather emergencies or acts of war

or terrorism. Any delay in receiving supplies could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers and, accordingly, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.



We
could be adversely affected by special risks and requirements related to our medical equipment manufacturing business.



We are subject to various special risks and requirements associated with being a medical equipment manufacturer, which could have adverse effects. These include the
following:



| |  |  | the need to comply with applicable federal Food and Drug Administration and foreign regulations relating to good manufacturing practices and medical device approval requirements,
and with state licensing requirements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need for special non-governmental certifications and registrations regarding product safety, product quality and manufacturing procedures in order to market products in the
European Union;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential product liability claims for any defective goods that are distributed; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need for research and development expenditures to develop or enhance products and compete in the equipment markets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Clinical costs to obtain FDA approval of HIFU may be higher than anticipated by us, or the
FDA may fail to approve HIFU, and, as a result, our earnings and stock price could decline.



We recently signed a distribution agreement with EDAP TMS S.A., a French company, which provides that we will start a clinical trial for the submission of high intensity
focused ultrasound, or HIFU, treatment of prostate cancer to the FDA for pre-market approval. In the event the costs of the clinical trial are greater than those budgeted by us, we could be forced to increase debt or to limit spending on the
development of other projects. In the event of such increased costs, our earnings and stock price could be depressed or negatively impacted. While HIFU has been successful in Europe to treat prostate cancer, the results of the clinical trials may
not meet the standards required for approval by the FDA. Failure to obtain FDA approval for HIFU could adversely effect future earnings and negatively impact the market price of our common stock.

ITEM 6. SELECTED
FINANCIAL DATA



The following tables set forth our summary
consolidated historical financial information that has been derived from (a) our audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, (b) our audited consolidated balance
sheets as of December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, and (c) our unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the three months ended December 31, September 30, June 30, and March 31, for 2004 and 2003. As discussed
under Business-General under Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the merger of Prime and HSS was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the financial information presented below reflects the results of operations of Prime and HSS on a combined basis after November 10, 2004 and the results of operations of Prime for the
periods prior to November 10, 2004. In addition, the financial information presented below reflects our financial condition on a combined basis as of December 31, 2004 and Primes financial condition as of December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001 and
2000. You should read this financial information in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere

plan. We also incurred costs totaling $6 million related to closing of our manufacturing plants in Carlisle, Pennsylvania
and Sanford, Florida. In connection with completing this process, we also reorganized our division management and culled backlog of commitments based on revised cost structure and resources, which resulted in a write-down of work in process for
projects that would be unprofitable and raw materials for product lines which we are discontinuing.



During 2002, we recognized an impairment of approximately $17 million related to the disposal of our refractive vision operations. Additionally, we recognized an impairment related to certain lithotripsy assets
located in south Florida due to a loss of the related hospital contract. During the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized a charge totaling $44.6 million, of which $8.2 million relates to minority interest, leaving a net impact to us of $36.4
million, all but $2.5 million of which was non-cash. Of this amount, approximately $21.6 million was for our impairment of goodwill associated with acquisitions made in the refractive vision segment during 1999 and 2000, $4.4 million related to a
loss on our sale of a Kansas City refractive center, $3.8 million related to recognizing impairments of certain lithotripsy assets, $3.8 million related to an increase in reserves on lithotripsy receivables, net of the related minority interest
portion of the increased reserves of $8.2 million, and $2.5 million for the severance of certain contractual obligations. We based our increase in reserves on certain lithotripsy receivables on negotiated settlements with hospitals and on additional
information now available to us from a full years operations of our new receivables system, which was placed in service in late 2000.

General



We provide healthcare services and manufacture medical devices, primarily to the urology community, as well as design and manufacture trailers and coaches that transport
high technology medical devices and equipment for mobile command and control centers and the media and broadcast industry.



Urology. Our lithotripsy services are provided principally through limited partnerships or other entities that we manage, which use lithotripsy devices. In 2004,
physicians who are affiliated with us used our lithotripters to perform approximately 36,700 procedures in the U.S. We do not render any medical services. Rather, the physicians do.



We have two types of contracts, retail and wholesale, that we enter into in providing our lithotripsy services. Retail contracts are
contracts where we contract with the hospital and private insurance payors. Wholesale contracts are contracts where we contract only with the hospital. The two approaches functionally differ in that, under a retail contract, we generally bill for
the entire non-physician fee for all patients other than governmental pay patients, for which the hospital bills the non-physician fee. Under a wholesale contract, the hospital generally bills for the entire non-physician fee for all patients. In
both cases, the billing party contractually bears the costs associated with the billing service, including pre-certification, as well as non-collection. The non-billing party is generally entitled to its fees regardless of whether the billing party
actually collects the non-physician fee. Accordingly, under the wholesale contracts where we are the non-billing party, the hospital generally receives a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee to compensate for its billing costs and
collection risk. Conversely, under the retail contracts where we generally provide the billing services and bear the collection risk, we receive a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee.



Although the non-physician fee under both retail and wholesale contracts varies widely based
on geographical markets and the identity of the third party payor, we estimate that nationally, on average, our share of the non-physician fee was roughly $1,900 and $2,100, respectively, for 2004 and 2003. At this time, we do not anticipate a
material shift between our retail and wholesale arrangements.

##### Index to Financial Statements

As the general partner of the limited partnerships, we also provide services relating to operating our lithotripters,
including scheduling, staffing, training, quality assurance, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and contracting with payors, hospitals and surgery centers.



Also in the urology segment, we provide treatments for benign and cancerous conditions of the prostate. In treating benign prostate disease, we use a technology called
transurethral microwave therapy, a process in which heat therapy is used to treat the enlarged prostate, or we may use a green light laser. For treating prostate and other cancers, we use a procedure called cryosurgery, a process which uses a double
freeze thaw cycle to destroy cancer cells.



We also, through Medstone
International, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters, and market fixed and mobile tables for urological treatments and imaging, as well as patient handling tables for use by pain management clinics.



Although, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, manufacturing
revenue was higher than urology revenue, the operating margins on urology revenue have been, historically, much higher than on manufacturing revenue. We recognize urology revenue primarily from the following sources:



| |  |  | Fees for urology services. A substantial majority of our urology revenue is derived from fees related to lithotripsy treatments performed using our lithotripters. We, through
our partnerships or other entities, facilitate the use of our equipment and provide other support services in connection with these treatments at hospitals and other health care facilities. (For a further discussion on our partnerships, see
Urology and Government Regulation and Supervision in Part I.) The professional fee payable to the physician performing the procedure is generally billed and collected by the physician. Benign prostate disease and prostate
cancer treatment services are billed in the same manner as our lithotripsy services under either retail or wholesale contracts. These services are also primarily performed through limited partnerships, which we manage.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fees for operating our lithotripters. Through our partnerships and otherwise directly by us, we provide services related to operating our lithotripters and receive a
management fee for performing these services. In addition, we provide equipment maintenance services to our partnerships and supply them with other consumables.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fees for equipment sales and licensing applications. We manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters and certain medical tables. In addition to the original sales price we
receive for lithotripter sales, we receive a licensing fee for each patient treated from the owner of the lithotripter. In exchange for this licensing fee, we also provide the owner of the lithotripter with certain consumables.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Specialty Vehicle Manufacturing. We design, construct and
engineer mobile trailers, coaches, and special purpose mobile units that transport high technology medical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, cardiac catheterization labs, CT scanware, lithotripters and postitron emission
tomography, or PET, and equipment designed for mobile command and control centers, and broadcasting and communications applications.

A significant portion of our revenue has been derived from our manufacturing operations. Manufacturing revenue is
recognized at the time we fulfill the terms of the contract under which we have sold the equipment.



Recent Developments



On November 10, 2004, Prime and HSS completed the merger of Prime with and into HSS. HealthTronics was the surviving corporation in the merger. Immediately following the
merger, Primes stockholders owned approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of HealthTronics common stock, and Primes directors and senior management represented a majority of the combined companys directors and senior
management. As a result, Prime was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The consideration paid (purchase price) was allocated to the tangible and intangible net assets of HSS based on their fair values, and the net assets of HSS were recorded at their fair values as of
the completion of the merger and added to those of Prime. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were deemed to be those of HealthTronics because HealthTronics was the surviving legal entity.



In 2004, we decided to divest our Orthopaedics business unit. We continue to believe that our
infrastructure, installed base, and the clinical benefits of a physician-directed, high energy product have a distinct advantage in the marketplace. However, the resources required to fully develop this market would detract from our focused efforts
to improve our other core business lines and efficiently integrate the Prime and HSS operations. We intend to maintain our managerial commitments to our partnerships and continue to provide maintenance, parts and consumables to the installed base
until a sale is consummated.



In March 2005, we announced the marketing of a
new $50 million revolving credit facility, due 2010, and a new $125 million senior secured term loan B, due 2011. The proceeds of this new debt will be used to refinance our 8.75% notes and the outstanding indebtedness under our existing senior
credit facility, which as of December 31, 2004 was $32 million. In preparation for market, we sought and received ratings on this anticipated debt transaction. Moodys assigned a Ba3 rating to the proposed $175 million secured debt and upgraded
its senior implied rating to Ba3 from Ba. Standard & Poors assigned a BB-senior debt rating and 3 recovery rating to the proposed $50/$125 million facility. We anticipate completion of this refinancing on or about April 1,
2005.



In early March 2004, HSS purchased HMT Holding AG, or HMT Holding. HMT
Holding owns a controlling interest in HMT High Medical Technologies, AG, or HMT, which manufactures the OssaTron, the LithoTron, the LithoDiamond and other equipment. On January 7, 2005, we entered into a waiver and amendment of our senior credit
facility. Pursuant to the terms of the waiver and amendment, HealthTronics GmbH, HMT Holding, HMT, HMT High Medical Technologies (Deutschland) GmbH, HMT High Medical Technologies (USA) Inc., HMT High Medical Technologies (Japan) Co. Ltd., HMT High
Medical Technologies SRL [Italy], HMT do Brasil, High Medical Technologies (UK) Ltd., and HMT Components AG (collectively, the HMT Entities) are excluded from the definition of Subsidiaries under the credit agreement. As a
result, the representations and warranties, covenants, and other provisions of the credit agreement will no longer apply to the HMT Entities. The waiver and amendment is given in connection with our decision in 2004 to no longer fund HMT AG as part
of our plan to rationalize its acquired manufacturing activities. HMT AG, of which we own less than 50% of the economic interests, has filed for relief under Swiss insolvency laws.

In February 2004, we acquired Medstone International, Inc. (Medstone) for approximately $19 million. Medstone
manufactures, sells, and maintains lithotripters and makes them available for use by health care providers under various fee-for-service arrangements in both fixed and mobile settings. Medstone and its subsidiaries also market fixed and mobile
tables for urological treatments and imaging, patient handling tables for use by pain management clinics and other users, and x-ray generators for medical imaging. A pioneer in the manufacture of shockwave lithotripsy, Medstones lithotripter
was the first FDA approved device to treat both kidney stones and gallstones. With more than 130 lithotripters in operation worldwide, and more than 324 urology and patient handling tables in use, the Medstone devices are well established in the
urology office and hospital market. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Medstone had revenue of $21 million, comprised of $15 million in service revenue and $6 million in equipment sales.



In July 2003, we entered into a letter agreement with each of two previous minority interest
owners of one of our subsidiaries, AK Specialty Vehicles. Under these two letter agreements, each minority interest owner was entitled to require that we repurchase up to approximately 365,000 shares (for a total of approximately 730,000 shares) of
our common stock that we issued in connection with our repurchase of their interests in AK Specialty Vehicles. Each such put right could only be exercised in three equal increments of approximately 121,360 shares in July 2003, June 2004
and June 2005 at per share purchase prices of $7.05, $7.12 and $7.19, respectively. Both individuals exercised their right in July 2003 and, consequently, we purchased 242,716 shares under these letter agreements for approximately $1.7 million. We
recorded $1.2 million as treasury stock based on the closing price of our stock on the date of repurchase and the remaining $498,000 was recorded as compensation expense. The remaining obligations under these agreements were accounted for in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 150 and resulted in an estimated liability and related compensation expense of approximately $850,000 as of December 31, 2003. During 2004, both individuals sold
their holdings in our common stock and we have no further obligation relating to the puts.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.



Management has identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:



Impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets are both a critical accounting policy
and estimate that requires judgment and is based on assumptions of future operations. We are required to test for impairments at least annually or if circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
We test for impairment of goodwill during the fourth quarter. We have two reporting units, urology and manufacturing. The fair value of each reporting unit is calculated using estimated discounted future cash flow projections. As of December 31,
2004, we had goodwill of $296 million.



A second critical accounting policy and
estimate which requires judgment of management is the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. We have based our estimates on historical collection amounts, current contracts with payors, current changes of the facts
and circumstances relating to these matters and certain negotiations with related payors.



25

##### Index to Financial Statements

A third critical accounting policy is consolidation of our investment in partnerships where we, as the general partner,
exercise effective control, even though our ownership is less than 50%. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities more than 50% owned and limited partnerships where we, as the general
partner, exercise effective control, even though our ownership is less than 50%. The related partnership agreements provide for broad powers by the general partner. The limited partners do not participate in the management of the partnership and do
not have the substantial ability to remove the general partner. Investment in entities in which our investment is less than 50% ownership and we do not have significant control are accounted for by the equity method if ownership is between 20% -
50%, or by the cost method if ownership is less than 20%. We have reviewed each of the underlying agreements and determined we have effective control; however, if it was determined this control did not exist, these investments would be reflected on
the equity method of accounting. Although this would change individual line items within our consolidated financial statements, it would have no effect on our net income and/or total stockholders equity.



Year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2003



Our total revenues increased $32,683,000 (20%) as
compared to the same period in 2003. Revenues from our urology operations increased by $26,642,000 (44%) due to the acquisition of Medstone during February 2004 and the Prime-HSS merger during November 2004. The actual number of procedures performed
for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by 8,629,000 (31%) compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the Medstone and HealthTronics transactions. Average revenue per procedure decreased 8% from prior year because procedures from
our Medstone acquisition have a lower average rate. For the year ended December 31, 2004, actual Medstone revenues from the acquisition date forward totaled $10.2 million on 5,302 procedures and 17,614 procedures generating per use license fees from
the lithotripter sales. We also had $5.3 million in Medstone equipment sales. Revenue from the Prime-HSS merger date forward totaled $11.3 million on 4,900 procedures from the HSS entities. Revenues from our organic operations were down
approximately $200,000 as compared to same period of 2003. Our manufacturing revenues increased $6,127,000 (6%) due to a significant increase in the average price per unit. The increase in price per unit is the result of an increase in the sale of
command and control units, which usually have a significantly higher sales price. The total number of units actually shipped decreased from 391 during the year ended December 31, 2003 to 360 in the same period in 2004.



Our costs of services and general and administrative expenses increased from 78% to 80% of
our revenues. Our cost of services associated with our urology operations increased $15,524,000 (63%) in absolute terms and increased from 41% to 46% of our urology revenues. All of these increases relate to costs of services associated with our
newly acquired Medstone operations, which totaled $11.3 million, and the HSS operations, which totaled $7 million. Our costs related to organic operations actually decreased $2.8 million primarily due to reduced personnel cost and a decrease in
legal costs due to the hiring of an internal legal department in early 2004. Our cost of services associated with our manufacturing operations increased $12,715,000 (14%) in absolute terms and increased from 90% to 97% of our manufacturing revenues.
These costs increased due to both the additional revenue noted above and certain costs related to closing two of our manufacturing plants. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we completed the closing of these two plants and also decided to discontinue
certain product lines which were not profitable. As a result we accrued for losses on several contracts still in production and wrote-off selected raw materials. Our corporate expenses increased from 2% to 3% of revenues, increasing $1,312,000 (36%)
in absolute terms.

##### Index to Financial Statements

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $883,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period
in 2003. This increase relates to several lithotripsy units becoming fully depreciated in late 2003 and early 2004 as well as certain computer equipment installed in our central business office in late 2000, offset by an increase in depreciation
expense from our newly acquired Medstone and HSS equipment.



Minority interest
in our consolidated income increased $9,497,000 compared to the same period in 2003. This increase is consistent with the increase in income from our urology segment.



Provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased $2,333,000 compared to the same period in 2003 and is consistent
with the decrease in our taxable income in 2004.



Year ended December 31,
2003 compared to the year ended December 31, 2002



Our total revenues
decreased $9,543,000 (6%) as compared to the same period in 2002. Revenues from our lithotripter operations decreased by $9,885,000 (14%). Average revenue per procedure decreased 5% from prior year, but has remained consistent for all four quarters
in 2003 and we believe it should continue at these levels in 2004. The actual number of procedures performed for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased by 9% from 30,800 in 2002 to 28,100 in 2003. The most significant decreases totaling
approximately $6.1 million in revenue related to lost contracts in Florida and Alabama. These lost contracts related primarily to the elimination of the Certificate for Need Law in Alabama where we had a significant competitive advantage prior to
the change. Our manufacturing revenues increased by $10,202,000 (11%) primarily due to our acquisition of Frontline Communications during May 2002, Smit Mobile Equipment in July 2002, ABC in January 2003 and Winemiller in February 2003. The actual
increase in revenues attributable to the acquisitions was $28.8 million, partially offset by an $18 million decrease in revenue in our mobile medical device business. Although we have maintained our dominant market share in this business, we have
been negatively impacted by the slow down in demand for high end imaging devices. Our RVC revenues decreased $10,143,000 (100%) as we fully disposed of these operations in late 2002.



Our costs of services and general and administrative expenses decreased from 80% to 78% of our revenues, primarily due to a $17.7 million
impairment recorded in 2002 related primarily to our refractive operations as discussed below. Our cost of services associated with our lithotripsy operations decreased $1,742,000 (7%) in absolute terms but increased from 38% to 41% of our
lithotripsy revenues due to a decrease in revenues noted above applied to a primarily fixed cost base. The actual decrease in costs of services relates primarily to reduced personnel costs from an actual reduction in headcount in direct service
personnel. Our cost of services associated with our manufacturing operations increased $15,438,000 (21%) in absolute terms and increased from 83% to 90% of our manufacturing revenues due to increased sales and costs related to our acquisitions and a
$1,348,000 charge related to stock buyback agreements discussed more fully in the Recent Developments section. The remaining decrease in margins is primarily attributable to a shift in product mix from the mobile device business to the
broadcast and media industry products which have lower operating margins. Cost of services associated with our RVC operations decreased $8,088,000 (100%) as we fully disposed of these operations in late 2002. Our corporate expenses remained constant
at 2% of revenues, decreasing $65,000 (2%) in absolute terms, as we continue to grow without adding a disproportionately higher amount of corporate expenses.

##### Index to Financial Statements

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $392,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period
in 2002 due primarily to the acquisition of Winemiller and ABC during 2003.



In
the third quarter of 2002, we recognized an impairment of approximately $17 million related to the disposal of our RVC operations. Additionally, we recognized an impairment related to certain lithotripsy assets located in south Florida due to a loss
of the related revenue contracts.



Our other expenses decreased $1,594,000 from
2002 to 2003, primarily due to a $706,000 decrease in interest expense and $812,000 decrease in loan fees related to our senior credit facility.



Minority interest in our consolidated income decreased $4,239,000 compared to the same period in 2002, as a result of a decrease in income from our lithotripsy segment.



Our income tax expense for 2003 increased $2,642,000 over 2002 due to an
increase in taxable income partially offset by a decrease in our effective tax rate.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Cash Flows



Our cash and cash equivalents were $21,960,000 and $9,780,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our subsidiaries generally distribute all of their available cash quarterly, after establishing reserves for
estimated capital expenditures and working capital. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, our subsidiaries distributed cash of approximately $25,896,000 and $21,618,000, respectively, to minority interest holders.



Cash provided by our operations, after minority interest, was $34,192,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and $37,272,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. From 2003 to 2004, fee and other revenue collected increased by $48,503,000 due primarily to the Medstone and HSS mergers previously discussed and a $12.8 million decrease in
accounts receivable for our manufacturing segment. Cash paid to employees, suppliers of goods and others increased by $43,587,000. These fluctuations are attributable to increased operations and inventories primarily in our manufacturing segment as
well as the timing of accounts payable and accrued expense payments. An increase in interest payments of $2,005,000 was due primarily to our increase in the line of credit balance. Taxes refunded decreased $6,000,000 from 2003 to 2004.



Cash used by our investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004, was
$3,773,000. We received $4,220,000 from the Medstone and HSS mergers. We purchased equipment and leasehold improvements totaling $9,909,000. Cash used by our investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003, was $19,889,000 primarily due to
$13,535,000 used in our acquisitions of ABC and Winemiller. We purchased equipment and leasehold improvements totaling $6,011,000.



Cash used in our financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $18,239,000, primarily due to distributions to minority interests of $25,896,000 partially
offset by net borrowings

on notes payable of $6,872,000. Cash used in our financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003, was
$27,777,000, primarily due to distributions to minority interests of $21,618,000 and net payments on notes payable of $4,682,000 and purchases of treasury stock of $1,214,000.



Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2004 has increased $2,997,000 from December 31, 2003. This increase is primarily related to an
increase in receivables in urology from our newly acquired Medstone and HSS operations partially offset by a $12.8 million decrease from our manufacturing segment. Bad debt expense was less than $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared
to approximately $200,000 for the same period in 2003.



Inventory as of
December 31, 2004 totaled $30,332,000 and increased $9,044,000 from December 31, 2003. This increase relates primarily to work in process in our manufacturing segment and newly acquired inventory from the Medstone and HSS mergers. Total backlog for
the manufacturing segment was $24,579,000 and $29,041,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



Senior Credit Facility



Our senior
credit facility is a revolving line of credit, and it expires on July 25, 2005. The revolving line of credit has a borrowing limit of $50 million, $32 million of which was drawn at December 31, 2004 and February 28, 2005. Our senior credit facility
contains covenants that, among other things, limit the payment of cash dividends on our common stock, limit repurchases of our common stock, restrict the amount of our consolidated debt, restrict our ability to make certain loans and investments,
and provide that we must maintain certain financial ratios. As of December 31, 2004, we were not in compliance with two financial ratios, Total Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Total Debt Service Coverage. The maximum
permitted ratios were 3.50 to 1 and 1.75 to 1, respectively, and our ratios as of December 31, 2004 was 4.67 to 1 and 1.22 to 1, respectively. We received a waiver of this noncompliance from the lenders under our credit facility and, as a result,
there was no material impact on us.



8.75% Notes



In addition, we have $100 million of unsecured senior subordinated notes. The notes bear
interest at 8.75% and interest is payable semi-annually on April 1stand October 1st. Principal is due April 2008.



The indenture governing our 8.75% notes contains covenants that, among other things: (1) limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (2) limit certain investments;
(3) limit restricted payments; (4) limit the disposition of assets; (5) limit the payment of dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (6) limit transactions with affiliates; (7) limit the creation of liens; and (8) restrict
mergers, consolidations and transfers of assets. In the event of a change of control under the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the 8.75% notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to
the date of the repurchase.



The 8.75% notes are unsecured general obligations
and are subordinated in right of payment to all our existing and future senior indebtedness and are guaranteed by our subsidiaries on a full, unconditional, joint and several basis.

Refinancing of Senior Credit Facility and 8.75% Notes



Also in March 2005, we announced the marketing of a new $50 million revolving credit
facility, due 2010, and a new $125 million senior secured term loan B, due 2011. The proceeds of this new debt will be used to refinance our 8.75% senior subordinated notes and the outstanding indebtedness under our existing senior credit facility,
which as of December 31, 2004 was $32 million. In preparation for market, we sought and received ratings on this anticipated debt transaction. Moodys assigned a Ba3 rating to the proposed $175 million secured debt and upgraded its senior
implied rating to Ba3 from Ba. Standard & Poors assigned a BB-senior debt rating and 3 recovery rating to the proposed $50/$125 million facility. We anticipate completion of this refinancing on or about April 1, 2005.



Other



Interest Rate Swap. In August 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap which was designated as a fair value hedge pursuant to the
provisions of FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and FAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This swap
was executed to convert $50 million of the 8.75% notes from a fixed to floating rate instrument. The floating rate was based on LIBOR plus 4.56%. In March 2003, we amended our interest rate swap agreement to add an additional $25 million with a
floating rate based on LIBOR plus 5.11%. We terminated the swaps in May 2003. In August 2003, we entered into two new interest rate swaps for $25 million each which were also designated as fair value hedges. The floating rates of these two interest
rate swap agreements were based on LIBOR plus 4.72% and 4.97%, respectively. In January 2004, we terminated these swaps for approximately $150,000. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $611,000 in proceeds from these swaps was capitalized and is
being amortized as a reduction to future interest expense over the remaining life of the 8.75% notes.



Other long term debt.At December 31, 2004, we had approximately $3.8 million of mortgage debt related to our building in Austin, Texas which bears interest at prime plus 1% and is due in monthly installments
until November, 2006. We also had notes totaling $13.6 million as of December 31, 2004 related to equipment purchased by our limited partnerships. These notes are paid from the cash flows of the related partnerships. They bear interest at LIBOR or
prime plus a certain premium and are due over the next three years.



Other
long term obligations. At December 31, 2004, we had an obligation totaling $1,050,000 related to payments to the previous owner of ABC for $75,000 per quarter until March 31, 2008 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. Also at December
31, 2004, as part of our Medstone acquisition, we had and obligation totaling $642,000 related to payments to an employee for $20,833 a month until February 28, 2007 and $4,167 a month beginning March 1, 2007 and continuing until February 28, 2009
as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. We also had as part of our HSS merger, two obligations totaling $425,000 related to payments to two previous employees. One obligation is for $8,333 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for
a noncompetition agreement. The other obligation is for $4,167 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement.



Stock Repurchases. During 1998, Prime announced a stock repurchase program of up to $25.0 million of its common stock. In February 2000, Prime announced an
increase in the authorized

repurchase amount from $25.0 million to $35.0 million and in January 2001 Prime increased this amount to $45.0 million.
Prime did not repurchase any of its common stock during 2004, 2003 or 2002. Under this repurchase program, Prime had purchased 3,820,200 shares of its stock for a total cost of $32,524,000. These shares were retired in August 2002 and no additional
shares have been purchased under the program. We currently have no stock repurchase program.

Our primary sources of cash are cash
flows from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility. Our cash flows from operations and therefore our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness, or to fund planned
capital expenditures, will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, financial



31

##### Index to Financial Statements

competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors discussed under Risk Factors under Part I. Likewise,
our ability to borrow under our senior credit facility will depend on these factors, which will affect our ability to comply with the covenants in our facility and our ability to obtain waivers for, or otherwise address, any noncompliance with the
terms of our facility with our lenders.



We intend to increase our lithotripsy
operations primarily through forming new operating subsidiaries in new markets as well as by acquisitions. We seek opportunities to grow our manufacturing operations through acquisitions, expanding our product lines and by selling to a broader
customer base. We intend to fund the purchase price for future acquisitions and developments using borrowings under our senior credit facility and cash flows from our operations. In addition, we may use shares of our common stock in such
acquisitions where appropriate.



Based upon the current level of our operations
and anticipated cost savings and revenue growth, we believe that cash flows from our operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our senior credit facility, will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs both for the
short term and for at least the next several years. However, there can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, that we will realize our anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements or that
future borrowings will be available under our senior credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.



Inflation



Our operations are not significantly affected by inflation because we are not required to make large investments in fixed assets. However, the rate of inflation will
affect certain of our expenses, such as employee compensation and benefits.



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments(SFAS 123R). The statement requires that we record stock option expense in our financial statements
based on a fair value methodology beginning no later than the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2005, our third quarter of next year. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and the method and timing of adoption.



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an interpretation ofARB No. 51(FIN 46). This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable
interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and July 1, 2003 for variable interests in variable interest entities that existed at January 31, 2003 and remain in existence at July 1, 2003. In October 2003, the FASB delayed
the implementation date for variable interests in variable interest entities that existed at January 31, 2003 and remain in existence at July 1, 2003 until fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2003. FIN 46 was subsequently revised and reissued
in December 2003. The reissued guidance requires implementation by March 31, 2004. The application of this Interpretation did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7. A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Interest Rate Risk



As of December 31, 2004, we had long-term debt (including current portion) totaling $150,058,000, of which $100 million has a fixed rate of
interest of 8.75%, $8,096,000 has fixed rates of 1% to 11%, $3,827,000 bears interest at a variable rate equal to a specified prime rate, and $37,524,000 bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR + 2 to 3.5% . The remaining $611,000 relates
to interest rate swaps which are discussed below. We are exposed to some market risk due to the floating interest rate debt totaling $41,351,000. We make monthly or quarterly payments of principal and interest on $9,351,000 of the floating rate
debt. An increase in interest rates of 1% would result in a $413,000 annual increase in interest expense on this existing principal balance.



Additionally, in August 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap, which is designated as a fair value hedge pursuant to the provisions of FAS No. 133 and FAS No. 138.
This swap had the effect of converting $50 million of our 8.75% notes from a fixed to floating rate instrument with a rate of LIBOR plus 4.56%. In March 2003, we amended our interest rate swap agreement to add an additional $25 million with a
floating rate based on LIBOR plus 5.11%. We terminated the swaps in May 2003. Approximately $1.2 million in proceeds from the swaps was capitalized and will be amortized as a reduction to future interest expense over the remaining life of the 8.75%
notes. In August 2003, we entered into two new interest rate swaps for $25 million each which are designated as fair value hedges. The floating rates of the two interest rate swap agreements are based on LIBOR plus 4.72% and 4.97%, respectively. In
January 2004, we terminated these swaps for approximately $150,000.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



At December

of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

##### Index to Financial Statements

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended
December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.



Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.



Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.



Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2004 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control  Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as
of December 31, 2004, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.



The scope of our managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of our businesses except for HSS, a material business acquired on November 10, 2004. HSS
revenues were $11.3 million and HSS assets were $53.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. We plan to fully integrate HSS into our systems and internal controls in 2005. As of December 31, 2004, this system integration process had not
begun.



KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued
an audit report on managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. The report of KPMG LLP is contained in Appendix A to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION



On March 11, 2005, we entered into a waiver and amendment, to be effective as of December 31, 2004, of our existing senior credit facility, pursuant to which the lenders
thereto waived our compliance with two financial ratios, Total Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Total Debt Service Coverage, as of December 31, 2004. The waiver and amendment is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



The Board of Directors and Stockholders

HealthTronics, Inc.:



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HealthTronics, Inc. and subsidiaries (HealthTronics) as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we
have also audited schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
and financial statement schedule based on our audits.



We conducted our audits
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HealthTronics and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion,
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the information set forth herein.



As discussed in Notes B and C to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1,
2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and intangibles.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of HealthTronics internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on
criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 15, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment
of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



The Board of Directors and Stockholders

HealthTronics, Inc.:



We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,that HealthTronics, Inc. (HealthTronics or the Company)
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.



A companys internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



In our opinion, managements assessment that HealthTronics maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated,
in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.

The Company acquired HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. during 2004, and management excluded from its assessment of
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, HealthTronics internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $53.6 million and total revenues of $11.3
million included in the consolidated financial statements of HealthTronics and subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of HealthTronics also excluded an evaluation of the
internal control over financial reporting of HealthTronics.



We also have
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of HealthTronics and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements

HEALTHTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



A. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION OF THE COMPANY



On November 10, 2004, Prime Medical Services, Inc. (Prime) completed a merger with
HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. (HSS) pursuant to which Prime merged with and into HSS, with HealthTronics, Inc. (HealthTronics) as the surviving corporation. Under the terms of that agreement, as a result of the merger, Primes
stockholders received one share of HealthTronics common stock for each share of Primes common stock. Because Primes stockholders now own approximately 62% of the shares of HealthTronics common stock due to the merger, and because
Primes directors and senior management represent a majority of the combined companys directors and senior management, Prime was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consideration paid (purchase price) was allocated to the tangible and intangible net
assets of HSS based on their fair values, and the net assets of HSS were recorded at fair value as of the completion of the merger and added to those of Prime. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were deemed to be those of HealthTronics
because HealthTronics is the surviving legal entity.



We now provide healthcare
services and manufacture medical devices, primarily to the urology community, as well as manufacture and design specialty vehicles used for the transport of high technology medical and broadcast and communications equipment. During 2002, we
completed our divestiture from the refractive vision correction industry.



We
are headquartered in Austin, Texas and provide urology services in 39 states. Our manufacturing segment is headquartered in Harvey, Illinois with additional manufacturing operations in Calumet City, Illinois; Clearwater, Florida; Oud Bierjland,
Holland; and Riverside, California. We also operate a service and sales facility in Camberley, England.



B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Consolidation



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities more than 50% owned and limited partnerships where
we, as the general partner, exercise effective control, even though our ownership is less than 50%. The related partnership agreements provide for broad powers by the general partner. The limited partners do not participate in the management of the

51, the Company determined that it does not have any significant variable interest entities. Investments in entities in which our investment is less than 50% ownership and we do not have significant control, are accounted for by the equity
method if ownership is between 20% - 50%, or by the cost method if ownership is less than 20%. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



Cash Equivalents



We consider as cash equivalents demand deposits and all short-term investments with a
maturity at date of purchase of three months or less.



Investments



We classify our investments in debt and equity
securities as trading securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The change in net unrealized holding gain or loss on trading securities was not material for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.



Property and Equipment



Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major betterments are capitalized while normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of three to twenty years. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over ten years or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. When assets are sold or
retired, the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.



Impairment of long-lived assets



We review long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, for impairment whenever facts and
circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Recoverability of assets to be held and
used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the assets carrying value is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized for
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. We determine fair values by using a combination of comparable market values and discounted cash flows, as appropriate.



Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets



We record as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
associated with acquired businesses. As of January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives
are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. We test for impairment of goodwill during the fourth quarter. We have two reporting units, urology and manufacturing. The fair value of each reporting
unit is calculated using estimated discounted future cash flow projections.

Revenue Recognition



Our fees for urology services are recorded when the procedure is performed and are based on
a contracted rate with a hospital (wholesale contract) or based on a contractual rate with commercial insurance carriers (retail contract), individual or state and federal health care agencies, net of contractual fee reduction. Licensing fees (which
started with the acquisition of Medstone International, Inc. (Medstone) in February 2004) are recorded when the related lithotripsy procedure is performed on the equipment we sold to third parties; leasing fees and revenues from
maintenance contracts are recorded monthly as the related services are provided; sales of consumable products are recorded when delivered to the related customer.



Sales of medical devices including related accessories (which started in February 2004 with the acquisition of Medstone) are recorded when
delivered to the customer and any trial period ends. We have no material investment income generated from partnerships and agreements with physicians, dealerships, and hospitals that purchase equipment from the company or gains from
partnership interest. Management fees from limited partnerships are recorded monthly when earned. There are no post-shipment obligations after revenue is recognized except a possible maintenance equipment contract. If the sale includes maintenance
services over a period of time, we defer a portion of the sales price related to the maintenance services and recognize it over the contract period. Fair value of any undelivered elements is determined based on prices when the items are sold
separately.



Revenues from the manufacture of trailers are recognized under the
completed contract method, since all our contracts are of a short-term nature. Under this method, revenue and related expenses are not recognized until a project is completed. Costs incurred, which primarily consist of labor and materials, on
uncompleted projected are capitalized as work in process. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted projected are made in the period in which the losses are determined.



Major Customers and Credit Concentrations



For the year ending December 31, 2004, we had no customers who exceeded 10% of consolidated
revenues. A significant portion of our manufacturing revenues was from eight customers. Sales to these eight customers accounted for 34% of 2004 manufacturing revenue. For the year ending December 31, 2003, a significant portion of our manufacturing
revenues were from nine customers. Sales to these nine customers accounted for 30% of 2003 manufacturing revenue. One customer accounted for 15% and 10% of manufacturing revenue in both 2004 and 2003, respectively.



Concentrations of credit risk with respect to cash relate to deposits held with banks in
excess of insurance provided. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, in the opinion of management, bear minimal risk. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to



A-14

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers, as well as their dispersion
across many geographic areas. Other than as disclosed below, we do not consider ourself to have any significant concentrations of credit risk. At December 31, 2004, approximately 23% of accounts receivable relate to units operating in New York, 8%
relate to units operating in Indiana, 8% relate to units operating in Texas, 7% relate to units located in Wisconsin, 6% relate to units located in Louisiana, 5% relate to units operating in Florida, 4% relate to units operating in Virginia, 4%
relate to units operating in Georgia, and 6% relate to units located in California. At December 31, 2003, approximately 5% of accounts receivable relate to units operating in Texas, 3% relate to units located in Louisiana, 3% relate to units located
in Virginia, and 3% relate to units located in California. In 2003 there were no operations in New York and accounts receivable related to units in Indiana were insignificant.



Income Tax



Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.



Accounts Receivable



Accounts receivable are recorded based on revenues, net of contractual fee reductions and
less an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Companys assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as
historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customers ability to pay.



Inventory



Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method. Certain components that meet our manufacturing requirements are
only available from a limited number of suppliers. The inability to obtain components as required or to develop alternative sources, if and as required in the future, could result in delays or reduction in product shipments, which in turn could have
a material adverse effect on our manufacturing business, financial condition and results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation



Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(Statement 123), in 1996, we have continued to measure compensation expense for our stock based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees.We have provided proforma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method prescribed by Statement 123 had been applied in measuring compensation expense.



For purposes of proforma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to
expense over the options vesting period. Our proforma information follows (in thousands except for earnings per share information):

of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results
could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the consolidated financial statements.



Reclassification



Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts presented in previous years to be consistent with the 2004 presentation.



Product Warranties



The Company generally warrants its manufacturing products against certain manufacturing and
other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time usually less than one year depending on the nature of the product, the geographic location of its sale and other factors. The accrued product warranty costs are based
on historical experience of actual warranty claims as well as current information on repair costs. Activity in the warranty reserve during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 was as follows (in thousands):

market price of our common stock during the respective periods.



Recently Issued Pronouncements



In
December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments(SFAS 123R). The statement requires that we record stock option expense in our financial statements based on a fair value
methodology beginning no later than the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2005, our third quarter of next year. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and the method and timing of adoption.



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an interpretation ofARB No. 51(FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the interpretation. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interests in variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and July 1, 2003 for variable interests in variable interest entities that existed at January 31, 2003 and remain in existence at July 1, 2003. In October 2003, the FASB delayed the implementation
date for variable interests in variable interest entities that existed at January 31, 2003 and remain in existence at July 1, 2003 until fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2003. FIN 46 was subsequently revised and reissued in December 2003.
The reissued guidance requires implementation by March 31, 2004. The application of FIN 46 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.



C. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS



We adopted SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets effective
January 1, 2002. Under this standard, we no longer amortize goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, but those assets are subject to annual impairment tests. As of December 31, 2004 we had $4 million in indefinite life intangible assets
related to the HealthTronics brand name. Other intangible assets with finite lives consisted primarily of non-compete agreements, hospital contracts and patents at December 31, 2004 and 2003. The agreements will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives.

D.
ACQUISITIONS



Effective November 10, 2004, Prime completed a merger
with HSS pursuant to which Prime merged with and into HSS, with HealthTronics as the surviving corporation. HSS and its subsidiary business is very similar to Primes business. HSS was a leading provider of lithotripsy services via a network of
limited partnerships. Also in the urology sector, HSS

provided treatments for benign and cancerous conditions of the prostate. In orthopaedics,
HSS provided non-invasive surgical solutions for a wide variety of orthopaedic conditions such as chronic plantar fasiitis and chronic lateral epicondylitis, more commonly known as heel pain and tennis elbow. We have decided to divest the
orthopaedics segment and accordingly have shown it as held for sale as of December 31, 2004. The aggregate purchase price for HSS was approximately $96 million, consisting of $88 million of our common stock for all outstanding stock of HSS, $4
million for the intrinsic value of stock options assumed and $4 million of acquisition costs paid. We determined the value of our common stock by using an average closing price for the two trading days prior to and after the public announcement of
the merger. We determined the value of the stock options assumed using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the 2004 assumptions discussed in footnote J. Approximately 12.3 million shares were exchanged. We recognized $109 million of goodwill
related to this transaction, none of which is tax deductible. We recognized $5 million of intangibles, $1 million of which is being amortized over three years. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired on a
preliminary basis and may change as additional information becomes available. The fair value of accounts receivable, leases, deferred taxes, and assets held for sale remains preliminary. Upon resolution of any amounts which existed as of the date of
acquisition, we will reflect any settlements as an adjustment to goodwill.



Effective February 20, 2004, we acquired Medstone International, Inc. (Medstone). Medstone manufactures, sells, and maintains lithotripters and makes them available for use by health care providers under various fee-for-service
arrangements in both fixed and mobile settings. Medstone and its subsidiaries also market fixed and mobile tables for urological treatments and imaging, patient handling tables for use by pain management clinics and other users, and x-ray generators
for medical imaging. A pioneer in the manufacture of shockwave urology, Medstones lithotripter was the first FDA approved device to treat both kidney stones and gallstones. With more than 130 lithotripters in operation worldwide, and more than
324 urology and patient handling tables in use, the Medstone devices are well established in the urology office and hospital market. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $19 million of our common stock for all outstanding shares of
Medstone. We determined the value of our common stock by using an average closing price for the two trading days prior to and after the public announcement of the merger. Approximately 3.6 million shares were issued. We recognized $7 million of
goodwill related to this transaction, none of which is tax deductible. We recognized approximately $1 million of intangibles, which are being amortized over three years. The following table provides a purchase price allocation:

Effective January 1, 2003, we acquired
Aluminum Body Corporation (ABC). The acquisition of ABC extends our position in the manufacture of command and control vehicles for the Homeland Security, military, and government markets. Additionally, the combination provides an
important west coast hub for the service and sale of all of the products manufactured within our manufacturing group. Founded in 1945, ABCs military and government vehicle manufacturing activity is long standing. ABC constructs specialty
vehicles, shelters and trailers for early warning missile defense systems, mobile training centers for Boeings Apache and Comanche helicopter systems and various classified programs. ABC is also a recognized leader in the manufacture of
expandable production trailers for the broadcast and communications industry. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $8.6 million comprised of $7.5 million in cash and $1.1 million of our common stock. We determined the value of our common
stock issued by using an average closing price for the two trading days prior to and after the closing date of the purchase agreement.



Approximately 150,000 shares were issued. We could pay an additional $4.7 million over the next four years comprised of $3.5 million in cash, which was deposited into an
escrow account at closing, and $1.2 million in common stock in the event that certain objectives are met. In 2004 and 2003, we released from escrow $3 million related to a portion of these items. We recognized $10.2 million of goodwill related to
this transaction, $2.5 million of which is tax deductible.



Effective February
7, 2003, we acquired Winemiller Communications (Winemiller). Winemiller provides turnkey remanufacturing and refurbishing of specialty vehicles utilized by the broadcast community and is a recognized leader in the application of
microwave technology solutions. The companys has provided technology support for the Tour de France, the Goodwill Games, and other challenging broadcast events for the past several years. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $5.5
million comprised of $3.6 million in cash and $1.8 million of our common stock. We determined the value of our common stock issued by using an average closing price for the two trading days prior to and after the date of the purchase agreement.
Approximately 244,000 shares were issued. We paid an additional $500,000 in February 2004 comprised of $48,000 in cash and $452,000 in common stock since certain objectives as defined in the purchase agreement were met. We recognized $5.4 million of
goodwill related to this transaction, which is not tax deductible.

The carrying amounts and estimated

The following methods and assumptions
were used by us in estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments.



Cash and Cash Equivalents



The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value because they mature in less than 90 days and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.



Debt



The fair value at December 31, 2004 and 2003 for the $100 million fixed rate senior
subordinated notes was valued using the market rate of 8.20% and 9.04%, respectively. The carrying value of the debt bearing interest at prime rate approximates fair value.



Other Long-Term Obligations



At December 31, 2004, we had an obligation totaling $1,050,000 related to payments to the previous owner of ABC for $75,000 per quarter
until March 31, 2008 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. Also at December 31, 2004, as part of our Medstone acquisition,

E. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)



we had an obligation totaling $642,000 related to payments to an employee for $20,833 a
month until February 28, 2007 and $4,167 a month beginning March 1, 2007 and continuing until February 28, 2009 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. We also had as part of our HSS merger, two obligations totaling $425,000 related to
payments to two previous employees. One obligation is for $8,333 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a nocompetition agreement. The other obligation is for $4,167 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a noncompetition
agreement.



Limitations



Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and
liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the
aforementioned estimates.

In March 1998, we completed an offering of an aggregate $100 million of unsecured senior
subordinated notes (the Notes) due 2008. The issue price of the notes was 99.50 with an 8.75% coupon. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 1998.



The Notes Indenture Agreement restricts, among other things, both our and our
Restricted Subsidiaries ability to incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, apply net proceeds from certain asset
sales, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with any other person, sell stock of subsidiaries and assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of substantially all of our assets.



In August 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap which was designated as a fair value
hedge pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, An Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133. This swap was executed to convert $50 million of the 8.75% notes from a fixed to floating rate instrument. The floating rate was based on LIBOR plus 4.56%. In March 2003, we amended our interest rate swap agreement to add an
additional $25 million with a floating rate based on LIBOR plus 5.11%. We terminated these swaps in May 2003. Approximately $1.2 million in proceeds from the swaps was capitalized and is amortized as a reduction to future interest expense over the
remaining life of the 8.75% notes. In August 2003, we entered into two new interest rate swaps for $25 million each which were designated as fair value hedges. These swaps were executed to convert $50 million of the 8.75% notes from a fixed to
floating rate instrument. The floating rates of the two interest rate swap agreements are based on LIBOR plus 4.72% and 4.97%, respectively. The fair market value at December 31, 2003 was $237,000. In January 2004, we terminated these swaps for
approximately $150,000. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $611,000 in proceeds from these swaps was capitalized and is being amortized as a reduction to future interest expense over the remaining life of the 8.75% notes.



We have a $50 million revolving credit facility bearing interest of LIBOR + 1 to 2%, maturing
in July 2005. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had drawn $32 million and $3 million on the revolving credit facility, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, interest on our revolving credit facility was 5.8% and 6%, respectively. Our assets
and the stock of our subsidiaries collateralize the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2004, we were not in compliance with all covenants related to this credit facility. We received a waiver of this noncompliance from the lenders under our
facility.

In July 2003, we entered into a letter
agreement with each of two previous minority interest owners of one of our subsidiaries, AK Specialty Vehicles. Under these two letter agreements, each minority interest owner was entitled to require that we repurchase up to approximately 365,000
shares (for a total of approximately 730,000 shares) of our common stock that we issued in connection with our repurchase of their interests in AK Specialty Vehicles. Each minority interest owners right to require a repurchase of his shares
could only be exercised in three equal increments of roughly 121,360 shares in July of 2003, June of 2004 and June of 2005 at per share purchase prices of $7.05, $7.12 and $7.19, respectively. Both individuals exercised their right to require
repurchase in July of 2003 and, consequently, we purchased 242,716 shares under these letter agreements for approximately $1.7 million. We recorded $1.2 million to treasury stock based on the closing price of our stock on the date of repurchase and
the remaining $498,000 was recorded as compensation costs. The remaining obligations under these agreements are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 150 and resulted in an estimated
liability and related compensation costs of approximately $850,000 as of December 31, 2003. During 2004, both individuals sold their holdings in our common stock and we have no further obligation relating to the puts.



Other long term obligations totaling $2,117,000, include an obligation totaling $1,050,000
related to payments to the previous owner of ABC for $75,000 per quarter until March 31, 2008 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. Also at December 31, 2004, as part of our Medstone acquisition, we had an obligation totaling $642,000
related to payments to an employee for $20,833 a month until February 28, 2007 and $4,167 a month beginning March 1, 2007 and continuing until February 28, 2009 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. We also had as part of our HSS merger,
two obligations totaling $425,000 related to payments to two previous employees. One obligation is for $8,333 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a nocompetition agreement. The other obligation is for $4,167 a month until October 31,
2007 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement.

I.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



We are involved in various claims and
legal actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that any liabilities arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.



We sponsor a partially self-insured group medical insurance plan. The plan is
designed to provide a specified level of coverage, with stop-loss coverage provided by a commercial insurer. Our maximum claim exposure is limited to $75,000 per person per policy year. At December 31, 2004, we had 811 employees enrolled in the
plan. The plan provides non- contributory coverage for employees and contributory coverage for dependents. Our contributions totaled $1,610,000, $1,373,000 and $1,170,000, in 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively.



During the first quarter of 2002, we made loans totaling approximately $975,000 to 12 members
of management. The loans bear interest at 6.5% and require annual payments of principal and interest due April 1 of each year. All of the loans are current.



As of December 31, 2004 we had a deferred compensation asset and liability of $2,721,000 recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This plan was
terminated during the first quarter of 2005. We satisfied the related deferred compensation liability through the distribution of the related assets, which we had previously held in the deferred compensation plan.



We lease office space and certain manufacturing plants in several locations. Rent expense
totaled $1,158,000, $700,000 and $1,017,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Future annual minimum lease payments under all noncancelable operating leases are as follow:

J. COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND
WARRANTS



On October 12, 1993, we adopted the Prime 1993 Stock Option Plan
which authorized, as amended to grant of up to 4,550,000 shares to certain of our key employees, directors, and consultants and advisors. In October 2003, this plan expired. On February 19, 2004, our stockholders approved our new 2003 stock option
plan, which provides the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be not exceed 600,000. This plan terminated as part of the HealthTronics merger in November 2004. As of November 2004, the only active plan is the HealthTronics, Inc.
Stock Option Plan, which authorized as amended to grant of up to 3,300,000 shares to purchase our common stock.



Options granted under the plans shall terminate no later than ten years from the date the option is granted, unless the option terminates sooner by reason of termination
of employment, disability or death. Options normally vest over one to three years. Options granted in 2004 to certain executives totaling 77,000 vested in four to six years unless vesting is accelerated upon achievement of performance goals. During
2004. we performed cashless exercises of 55,439 options which resulted in the issuance of 28,974 shares of our common stock. Stock based compensation related to these transactions totaled $295,000 and was primarily related to exiting board members.



A summary of our stock option activity, and related information for the years
ended December 31, follows:

Proforma information regarding net
income and earnings per share is required by Statement 123, and has been determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of
grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 3.9%, 2.3% and 3.9%; dividend yields of 0%, 0% and 0%; volatility factors of the
expected market price of our common stock of 45%, 43% and 43%; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 4 years.



The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee
stock options.



As of December 31, 2004, we had issued warrants to purchase
approximately 67,000 shares of common stock to third parties. The exercise prices of the warrants range from $2.89 to $4.34 per share.



K. IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER COSTS, NET



During the third quarter of 2002, we substantially completed our exit from the RVC business by transferring our interests in the centers back to our physician partners.
In connection with these transactions, which were either completed in the third quarter or shortly thereafter, we recognized an impairment on the related assets totaling approximately $17 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income. This impairment included approximately

K. IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER COSTS, NET (continued)



$11 million of goodwill and $3 million of non-compete agreements. The total consideration
received was approximately $4 million, which included $3 million of notes receivable to be repaid over the next three years. As a condition to certain of the notes receivable, we are required to provide limited consulting services. The cost of
providing these consulting services does not exceed $50,000 per year. Additionally, we recognized an impairment related to certain urology assets in south Florida due to a loss of the related revenue contract.



L. INCOME TAXES



We file a consolidated tax return with our wholly-owned subsidiaries. A substantial portion
of consolidated income is not taxed at the corporate level as it represents income from partnerships. Accordingly, only the portion of income from these partnerships attributable to our ownership interests is included in taxable income in the
consolidated tax return and financial statements. The minority interest portion of this income is the responsibility of the individual partners.



Income tax (benefit) expense consists of the following:

At December 31, 2004, we have federal
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23.3 million, which are available to offset federal taxable income in future years through 2024. We also have state tax net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $33.5 million to
offset future state taxable income through 2014. In addition, we have capital loss carryforwards totaling $13.5 million, which begin to expire in 2006.



At December 31, 2004 and as a result of the HealthTronics merger, the Company acquired certain tax attributes from HealthTronics which are subject to Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code. These tax attributes include net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income through 2021 of approximately $23.9 million, capital loss carryforwards of $28 million and built-in losses
available to offset future taxable income of $63.6 million. Due to the uncertainty of our ability to utilize these assets, no value was assigned to them in our purchase accounting.

L. INCOME TAXES (continued)



In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible.



Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.



Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deductible temporary differences reverse,
management believes it is more likely than not we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2004.



M. SEGMENT REPORTING



We have two reportable segments: urology and manufacturing. The urology segment provides services related to the operation of the lithotripters, including scheduling,
staffing, training, quality assurance, maintenance, regulatory compliance and contracting with payors, hospitals and surgery centers. The manufacturing segment provides manufacturing services and installation, upgrade, refurbishment and repair of
major medical equipment for mobile medical service providers and the mobile broadcast and communication industry. RVC operations are also reported to allow for meaningful prior year comparisons.



The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note B, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies. We measure performance based on the pretax income or loss after consideration of minority interests from our operating segments, which do not include unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses and
corporate interest income and expense. Additionally, certain consolidated entities that are reported as corporate own and operate urology equipment. The revenue and depreciation expense related to this equipment is included in the
urology segment. However, the equipment is included in corporate assets.



Our
segments are divisions that offer different services, and require different technology and marketing approaches. The majority of the urology segment is comprised of acquired entities, as is the manufacturing segment.



Substantially all of our revenues are earned in the United States and long-lived assets are
located in the United States. We do not have any major customers who account for more than 10% of our revenues.

The amounts in 2004, 2003 and 2002 for
interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures represent amounts recorded by the operations of our corporate functions, which have not been allocated to the segments.



N. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS



In 2004, we decided to divest our Orthopaedics business unit and accordingly have shown all
assets and liabilities related to these operations as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We continue to believe that our infrastructure, installed base, and the clinical benefits of a physician-directed, high energy
product have a distinct advantage in the marketplace. However, the resources required to fully develop this market would detract from our focused efforts to improve our other core business lines and efficiently integrate Prime and HSS operations. We
will, of course, maintain our managerial commitments to our partnerships and continue to provide maintenance, parts and consumables to the installed base until a sale is consummated.



As part of the merger between Prime and HSS in November 2004, HSS had a minority owned Swiss subsidiary, HMT Holding AG (HMT),
which was in a net liability position at the date of acquisition. In December 2004, we decided to no longer fund the operations of HMT as part of our plan to rationalize its acquired manufacturing activities. Also in December 2004, the directors of
HMT received a letter from their external auditors informing them HMT was over-indebted. Based on this action, the directors had a statutory obligation to initiate insolvency proceedings and in January 2005 filed for relief under Swiss insolvency
laws. We deconsolidated the operations of HMT in December 2004. We recorded the assets and liabilities of HMT at the value of the net liabilities at the time of bankruptcy.



O. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (unaudited)



Also in March 2005, we announced the marketing of a new $50 million Revolving Credit Facility, due 2010, and a new $125 million Senior
Secured Term Loan B, due 2011. The proceeds of this new debt will be used to refinance the existing $100 million of legacy Prime 2008 83/4% debentures and $32 million of Senior Revolving debt. In preparation for market, we sought and received ratings on this anticipated debt transaction. Moodys assigned a Ba3 rating to the proposed $175 million secured
debt and upgraded its senior implied rating to Ba3 from Ba. Standard & Poors assigned a BB-senior debt rating and 3 recovery rating to the proposed $50/$125 million facility. We anticipate completion of this refinancing on or
about April 1, 2005.
