The panel recommended approval of our PMA submission to the FDA,with conditions.  The FDA must deliberate on the recommendations of the panel.  Wecannot predict the timing or the outcome of this review.  In the meantime, wecontinue to address the FDA's questions, and the FDA review and approvalprocess may require additional substantial time and expense, with no assurancesof success.

We develop, produce, and market a broad line of breastimplants, including saline-filled implants and silicone gel-filled (MemoryGelTM)implants.  Our breast implants consist of a silicone elastomer shell thatis either filled during surgery with a saline solution or pre-filled during themanufacturing process with silicone gel.  Our MemoryGelTM products come invarying degrees of cohesiveness.  Additionally, all of our implants have eithera smooth or textured surface and are provided in a variety of sizes and shapesto meet the varying preferences of patients and surgeons.    

Mammary prostheses have applications in both cosmetic andreconstructive plastic surgery procedures. These prostheses are used inaugmentation procedures to enhance breast size and shape, correct breastasymmetries and help restore fullness after breast feeding.  Duringreconstruction procedures, mammary prostheses are utilized as a surgicalsolution to create a breast mound following a mastectomy.  Breastreconstruction is a surgical option for many women following a mastectomy,either at the time of surgery or a later date. 

We carry a full line of breast reconstruction productsincluding the Contour Profile Expander (CPX® ) family of breast expanders.  These expansion products,used in the first-stage of a two-stage breast reconstruction, create a pocketthat will ultimately hold the breast implant that is placed in a subsequentsecond-stage operation.  All of the CPX devices utilize our proprietaryBufferZoneTM self-sealing technology andCenterscopeTM injection port locators.  Wealso are the industry leader for single-stage breast reconstruction procedures,with our line of smooth and textured Becker implants, which are designed to beused as both an expander and an implant. 

We offer a line of extremity tissue expanders. Extremity tissue expansion involves the process of growing additional tissuefor reconstruction and skin graft procedures.  Some of the major applicationsof extremity tissue expansion include the correction of disfigurements such asburns, large scars and congenital deformities.

We market an ultrasound-assisted product used for theaspiration of soft tissues in general surgery and cosmetic surgery applicationsand have obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approvalto label the product for use in Ultra-sonic liposuction.  Our subsidiary,Byron Medical, Inc., offers a complete line of liposuction products includingtraditional power-assisted and ultrasonic liposuction product offerings anddisposable supplies.  As a result we are positioned as a broad linesupplier to the entire body contouring (liposuction) market.

Our erectile dysfunction products consist of a line ofpenile implants for the treatment of male sexual impotence.  Penileprostheses are implanted in men who cannot achieve a natural erection ofsufficient rigidity for sexual intercourse.  Penile implants have becomethe standard of care for men who have not responded to less invasive oral therapies. In order to respond to a variety of physician and patient preferences, wemanufacture several types of penile prostheses, including hydraulic inflatabledevices and a malleable prosthesis.  We have FDA approval to market theTitan® Inflatable penile prosthesis and theGenesisTM malleable penile prosthesis with a hydrophilic coating that offers anumber of advantages to both the physician and the patient.  We also haveConformite Europeene (CE) approval for the sale and marketing of penileimplants utilizing the same coating, ResistTM,  which is designed to reduce bacterial adherence. 

Our cancer treatment products consist primarily of two typesof brachytherapy seeds (iodine and palladium) for the treatment of prostatecancer, as well as associated supplies and delivery systems.  Our iodineseeds, ProstaSeed® , are manufactured by oursubsidiary, Mills Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.  For palladium seeds, weentered into a nonexclusive agreement in January 2003 to distribute BestTM Medical Palladium-103 brachytherapy seeds, and beganto distribute those seeds shortly thereafter.  However, due todifficulties in increasing manufacturing capacity in a short time frame, wewere unable to secure adequate supply from the vendor to fulfill customerdemand during fiscal 2004.  In fiscal 2005, we had a sufficientsupply of seeds, and expect that our current sources of supply are adequate tomeet anticipated customer demand.  

In Octoberof 2002, the FDA approved the IsoLoaderTM, our computer-based workstation andautomated cartridge-based needle loading and physics workstation, which automatesbrachytherapy needle loading, radioactive seed assay and reporting for use inbrachytherapy procedures.  In early 2003, we began to market the workstation.  Wealso received the necessary approvals from the Canadian Therapeutic ProductsDirectorate to market and sell the IsoloaderTM in Canada in April of 2002.  Inaddition, we market a variety of other brachytherapy products, which includeprescription loaded needles and strands, pre-loaded cartridges, and a completeline of pre-loaded style and original MICK® applicator needles.

In June of 2005, we launched our new IsoStrandTM product foruse in conjunction with the IsoLoaderTM workstation.  The key benefit of thisnew technology is that it allows the end-user to automate stranding and needleloading safely and efficiently, directly from the treatment plan on theIsoLoaderTM.  This key benefit meets the clinical shift towards intra-operativeplanning and the clinical demands for "real time" strands.

Our urinary care products consist of disposable urologicaldevices for use in the hospital and outpatient setting.  These devicesconsist of endourological stents, catheters, urinary drainage systems, stonebaskets, wound drainage products and other specialty urological items, most ofwhich are manufactured and marketed by our Porges subsidiary.  Theseproducts are used during and following surgery for the treatment of upperurinary tract disease such as kidney stones, ureteral stones and tumors, andfor the diagnosis and treatment of lower urinary track diseases such as BPH,prostate cancer, bladder cancer, urethral strictures and other voidingdisorders, including urinary incontinence.

*Clinical and Consumer Healthcare Products*

We manufacturer a broad line of daily management productswhich provide dignified solutions for urinary incontinence and retentionproblems.  We market a complete line of intermittent urinary catheters, maleexternal catheters and urine collection bags, as well as Foley catheters andtrays.  These disposable products are used in homes, hospitals, rehabilitationand extended care facilities around the world.  Approximately two-thirds of ourrevenues in this business segment are primarily from sales of intermittentcatheters for the management of urinary retention and to a lesser degree, maleexternal catheters for the management of urinary incontinence. Sales of otherancillary products account for the remaining revenues. 

Our Porges subsidiary specializes in urological disposables,diagnostic tools and various devices for surgery and postoperativefollow-up.  We introduced the first of these products into the U.S. market in fiscal 2002 and continue to expand the range of products into developingmarkets.  We also manufacture and market incontinence and ostomy products primarilyfor the home healthcare market such as drainage bags, ostomy pouches,intermittent catheters, male external catheters, and Foley catheters. 

Various ancillary urologic products are included in ourproduct portfolio including organic odor eliminators, moisturizing skin creamsand ointments, and pessaries for the management of pelvic organ prolapse.  Wealso distribute the BTA *Stat*® point-of-care bladder cancer screening test manufactured by Polymedco,Inc., under an exclusive supply and distribution agreement.

We continue to be a leading developer of specialtyintermittent catheters to meet the varied needs of our customers.  The Self-Cath Plus®,a patent-pending hydrophilic intermittent catheter, and theSelf-Cath Closed System have provided a platform for the development of the newSelf-Cath HydroGel®.  Launching in August of 2005, theSelf-Cath HydroGel® incorporates a unique combinationof features providing protection to minimize the incidence of  urinary tractinfections and a highly lubricious lubricant for smooth insertion. 

Marketing

We employ specialized domestic sales forces for ouraesthetic surgery, body contouring, and urologic specialties, which includesour women's health, erectile dysfunction, prostate brachytherapy and clinicaland consumer healthcare product lines.  Each sales force provides productinformation or specific data support and related services to physicians, nursesand other health care professionals.  We also market certain products,particularly our disposable incontinence products, through a domestic networkof independent hospital supply dealers and healthcare distributors, and throughretail pharmacies.

We promote our products through participation in andsponsorship of medical conferences and educational seminars, radio, newspaper,specialized websites, journal advertising, direct mail programs, and a varietyof marketing support programs.  In fiscal 2005, we launched the firstprimetime  advertising campaign in the industry for our saline breast implantproducts.  We ran four distinct commercials on ABC's *Extreme Makeover* programfor the 2004/05 season while at the same time launching our *Mentor4me.com*patient education program designed to help educate interested women aboutbreast augmentation surgery and help them locate surgeons.  During the yearthese commercials have also run during ABC's Daytime programming and ABC's *DesperateHousewives*program.  Mentor participates in supporting organizations thatprovide counseling and education for persons suffering from specific diseasestates, and we provide patient education materials for most of our products tophysicians for use with their patients.  The "Kids Can Cath!" catheterizationtraining program is aimed to provide creative tools to clinicians and parentsof children who live with spina bifida in order to maximize the level ofself-care for each child.  We also conduct patient awareness programs including"Straight Talk about E.D." and "Back in ControlTM" to help educate individuals on erectile dysfunctionand female stress urinary incontinence, respectively.

International Operations

We export most of our product lines, principally to Canada, Western Europe, Central and South America, and the Pacific Rim.  Products aresold through our direct international sales offices in Canada, the   United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Benelux, Australia, Spain, Portugal and Italy, as well as through independent distributors in othercountries.  Total foreign net sales through distributors and directinternational sales offices were $195.2 million, $170.4 million, and $138.2million in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Other than salesmade through our international sales offices, which are denominated in thelocal currency of the sales office, export sales are made in United Statesdollars.  

In addition, we manufacture mammary implants in TheNetherlands, disposable urology products in France and the United Kingdom and have recently initiated production of facial products in the United Kingdom.  Total long-lived assets located in foreign countries were $59.8million, $62.2 million, and $48.1 million in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003,respectively.

Competition

We believe we are one of the leading suppliers of cosmeticand reconstructive surgery products, penile implants, and disposable catheterproducts.  This belief is based upon information developed internally,public information sources, and information from independent research studiesof market share.

In the domestic breast implant market, we compete primarilywith one other company, Inamed Corporation.  The primary competitivefactors in this market currently are product performance and quality, range ofstyles and sizes, proprietary design, warranty programs, customer service and,in certain instances, price.  In Europe, we compete with InamedCorporation and various smaller competitors.  On March 21, 2005, Medicis, a specialty pharmaceutical company with offerings in the dermatological, podiatric andaesthetics markets, and a competitor with our newly launched facial dermalfiller products, announced a definitive merger agreement with InamedCorporation.  As of June 9, 2005 the merger was not yet completed.

We compete primarily with only one other company worldwidein the inflatable penile implant market, American Medical Systems, Inc. Several companies sell competing malleable penile implants.  The primarycompetitive factors in the penile implant market are product performance andreliability, ease of implantation, proprietary design, and customerservice.  We believe that by providing several types of implants thatemphasize high performance and reliability, we can successfully respond tovarious physician and patient preferences.  Recently, the erectiledysfunction market has experienced renewed growth in the penile implant segment,which has recently stabilized following the introduction of two additional oralmedications. 

We compete with many other companies in the United States providing brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer, includingOncura, a division of Amersham Health, C.R. Bard, Inc., TheragenicsCorporation, North American Scientific, Inc., and others.  The primarycompetitive factors in this market are technologies that support efficientpreparation and implantation of radioactive sources through improved productdelivery, price, product offering, customer service, and consistentquality.  We believe that we have the third largest market share foriodine and palladium brachytherapy seeds.

We compete with a number of other companies in thepubovaginal sling and pelvic floor reconstruction market, including J&JGynecare, C.R. Bard, Inc., American Medical Systems, Inc., Boston Scientific'sMicrovasive division, and others.  As a first line treatment, the demandfactors for this market include having a wide selection of materials andoffering the surgeon multiple choices of procedure options to meet specificpatient requirements.  We offer a wide selection of choices including allograft,bioresorbable and synthetic materials that may be placed through a number ofsurgical techniques.  We also believe that our patented surgical methodprovides the least invasive treatment for stress urinary incontinence. 

Through our innovative design and customer-focused  marketingof catheters and other disposable incontinence products, we have been able tocompete successfully against larger companies in this market.  C.R. Bard,Inc., Hollister, Inc., Kendall (a division of Tyco HealthCare), and ColoplastCorporation are the dominant competitors in the worldwide market.  Wecompete primarily on the basis of product design and performance, and byproviding product support and related services to health care professionals andconsumers.  

Government Regulations

*General*

As a manufacturer of medical devices our manufacturingprocesses and facilities are subject to continuing review by the FDA andvarious state and international agencies ("Agencies").  These Agenciesinspect our processes and our facilities from time to time to determine whetherwe are in compliance with various regulations relating to manufacturingpractices and other requirements.  These Agencies have the power toprevent or limit further marketing of products based upon the results of theseinspections.  These regulations depend heavily on administrativeinterpretation. There can be no assurance that future interpretations made bythese Agencies will not adversely affect us.  Failure to comply with theseAgencies regulatory requirements may result in enforcement action by these Agencies,including product recalls, suspension or revocation of product approval,seizure of product to prevent distribution, imposition of injunctionsprohibiting product manufacture or distribution, and civil or criminalpenalties.  

Advertising and promotion of medical devices are regulatedby the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") in the U.S. and by analogous agencies internationally.  A determination that we are inviolation of regulatory requirements governing promotional activities couldlead to imposition of various penalties, including warning letters, productrecalls, injunctive relief, and civil or criminal penalties.

Products and materials manufactured internationally may comeunder Homeland Security statutes from time to time and could be considered for restrictedentry into the United States by FDA and U.S. Customs.  The restrictedentry of such products and materials could affect the manufacturing and sale ofproduct domestically and internationally.

*Regulation of Medical Devices*

Under the "Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act" ("FDCA")as amended, the FDA has the authority to adopt regulations that: (i) setstandards and general controls for medical devices; (ii) require demonstrationof safety and effectiveness or other forms of data support prior to marketingdevices which the FDA believes require pre-market approval or clearance; (iii)require test data to be submitted to the FDA prior to evaluation in humans;(iv) permit detailed inspections of device manufacturing facilities; (v)establish Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMPs") now referred to asthe Quality System Regulation ("QSR") that must be followed in devicemanufacture; (vi) require reporting of certain adverse events, devicemalfunctions, and other post-market information to the FDA; and (vii) prohibitdevice exports that do not meet certain requirements.  The FDA alsoregulates promotional activities by device companies.  Essentially all ofour products currently marketed are medical devices and are therefore subjectto FDA regulation in the U.S. and analogous foreign agencies for theinternational countries to which we export our products.

The FDCA established complex procedures for FDA regulationof devices.  Devices are placed in three classes:  Class I (generalcontrols to preclude misbranding or adulteration, compliance with labeling andother requirements), Class II (special controls and FDA clearance in additionto general controls), and Class III (a pre-market approval application("PMA") before commercial marketing).  Class III devices are the most extensively regulated.  Class III devices require each manufacturerto submit to the FDA a PMA that includes information demonstrating the safetyand effectiveness of the device.  The majority of our aesthetic surgeryand urology implants are in Class III, while most of our disposableincontinence products are in Classes I and II.

In 1991, we submitted a PMA for our silicone gel-filledmammary prostheses to the FDA.  In 1992, the FDA's outside advisory panelon aesthetic surgery products indicated that although there was insufficientdata to establish with reasonable certainty that silicone gel implants weresafe and effective, there was a public health need for these types ofimplants.  The FDA adopted the recommendations of the panel.

The FDA denied the pending applications for the use ofsilicone gel-filled breast implants for augmentation, but provided for thecontinued availability of the implants for reconstruction and revision purposeson the basis of a public health need.  Since 1993, women have beenrequired to enroll in a clinical program for future follow-up in order toreceive gel-filled implants for reconstruction.  Patients are required tosign an informed consent form and physicians must certify that saline implantsare not a satisfactory alternative.  We continue to ship these productsunder the terms of this clinical program, and these shipment activities requiredevice tracking and documentation support to ensure compliance andaccountability.

In 1993, the FDA published proposed guidelines for the PMAapplicable to our saline-filled breast implants.  We submitted all therequired data for our saline implants, and the FDA approved our application on May 10, 2000.  In conjunction with its review of the data, the FDA inspected ourmanufacturing facility in Irving, Texas and indicated the facility was insubstantial compliance with the applicable regulations.  

Concurrently, in 1993, the FDA also published proposedguidelines for the PMA applicable to our inflatable penile prostheses.  Wesubmitted all required data for our penile implants, and received FDA approvalon July 14, 2000.  In addition, on July 19, 2002, we received PMA approval from the FDA for our saline-filled testicular implants.

 

10

In December 2003, we completed the submission for oursilicone gel PMA application to the FDA for breast augmentation, reconstructionand revision.  The FDA indicated that our PMA "is sufficientlycomplete to permit a substantive review and is, therefore, suitable forfiling."  On January 8, 2004, the FDA released a "Draft Guidance forSaline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative Breast Implants."  This new draftguidance has additional requirements from the FDA's previously issued guidancedocument dated February 2003.  In August 2004, we amended our PMA based on theJanuary 2004 revised (new) FDA draft guidance and responded to other issuesraised by the FDA.  On April 11-13, 2005, an advisory panel composed of outsideexperts selected by the FDA met to consider questions presented to it by theFDA regarding our and our competitor's PMA submissions and to make arecommendation to the FDA regarding whether the PMA applications should beapproved.  The panel recommended approval of our PMA submission to the FDA,with conditions.  The FDA must deliberate on the recommendations of the panel.  Wecannot predict the timing or the outcome of this review.  In the meantime, wecontinue to address the FDA's questions, and the FDA review and approvalprocess may require additional substantial time and expense, with no assurancesof success.  

We also have two pending applications for Medical DeviceLicenses in Canada for our silicone gel-filled breast implants.  An expertadvisory panel convened by the Canadian government on March 22, 2005 to review our pending application for Medical Device Licenses.  We have been notifiedof Health Canada's desire to hold a public forum on these devices sometimelater this calendar year.  We cannot predict the timing or outcome of thisreview or determine when or if Health Canada will approve our productapplications.  

*Biologics*

Certain other products being developed by us are regulatedby the FDA as biologics under the Public Health Service Act requiringpre-marketing approval, and are subject to regulations and requirements onpreclinical and clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, quality control,storage, advertising, promotion, marketing, distribution, and export. Prior to commercial sale of a biologic, a Biologics License Application("BLA") that includes results from required,  well-controlledclinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness for the product'sintended use, and specified manufacturing information, must be submitted to,and approved by, the FDA.  FDA inspection of the manufacturing facilityduring review of the BLA is required to ensure that manufacturing processesconform to FDA-mandated GMPs.  Continued compliance with GMPs is requiredafter product approval, and post-approval changes in manufacturing processes orfacilities, product labeling, or other areas require FDA review andapproval.  

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, substantialcosts relating to laboratory and clinical testing of new and existing productsand the preparation and filing of documents required by the FDA for productapproval.  The process of obtaining marketing clearance and approvals fromthe FDA can be time consuming and expensive, and there is no assurance thatsuch clearances or approvals will be granted.  We also may encounterdelays in bringing new products to market as a result of being required by theFDA to conduct and document additional investigations of product safety andeffectiveness, which may adversely affect our ability to commercializeadditional products or additional applications for existing products.

*Additional Regulations*

As a manufacturer of medical devices and biologics, ourmanufacturing processes and facilities are subject to regulation and review byinternational regulatory agencies for products sold internationally.  Amedical device may only be marketed in the European Union ("EU") ifit complies with the Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC) ("MDD")and bears the CE mark as evidence of that compliance.  To achieve this,the medical devices in question must meet the "essentialrequirements" defined under the MDD relating to safety and performance,and we as manufacturer of the devices must undergo verification of ourregulatory compliance by a third party standards certification provider, knownas a "Notified Body".  We have obtained CE marking for ourproducts sold in the EU by demonstrating compliance with the ISO 9001, EN46001and ISO13485 international quality system standards.  Medical device lawsand regulations are also in effect in some of the other countries to which weexport our products.  These range from comprehensive device approvalrequirements for some or all of our medical device products, to requests forproduct data or certifications.  Failure to comply with theseinternational regulatory standards and requirements, and to changes in theinternational quality system standards, could affect our ability to market andsell products in these markets and may have a significant negative impact onsales and results of operations. 

 

11

Additional products are being developed, which will beregulated as medicinal products in the EU and as such will require a marketingauthorization before they can be introduced into the market.  There aretwo routes by which this can be achieved: the centralized procedure whereby anapproval granted by the European Commission permits the supply of the productin question throughout the EU, or the Mutual Recognition Procedure("MRP") where a marketing authorization granted by one nationalauthority is recognized by the authorities of the other member states in whichwe intend to supply the products.  The centralized procedure is compulsoryfor biotechnology products and is optional for certain high-technologyproducts.  All such products which are not authorized by the centralizedroute must be authorized by the MRP unless the product is designed for a singleEU country, in which case a national application can be made.  In eachcase, the application must contain full details of the product and the researchthat has been carried out to establish its efficacy, safety and quality.

Our present and future business has been and will continueto be subject to various other laws and regulations, including state and locallaws relating to such matters as safe working conditions and disposal ofpotentially hazardous substances.  We may incur significant costs incomplying with such laws and regulations now, or in the future, and any failureto comply may have a material adverse impact on our business.

*Environmental Regulation*

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreignenvironmental laws and regulations.  Our manufacturing and research anddevelopment activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardousmaterials, chemicals and biological materials, which require compliance withvarious laws and regulations regarding the use, storage, and disposal of suchmaterials.  We believe that our operations comply in all material respects withapplicable environmental laws and regulations in each country where we have abusiness presence. Although we continue to make expenditures for environmentalprotection, we do not anticipate any additional significant expenditures, incomplying with such laws and regulations, that would have a material impact onour earnings or competitive position.  We are not aware of any pendinglitigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or pastenvironmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect onour financial position.  We cannot assure, however, that environmentalproblems relating to properties owned or operated by us will not develop in thefuture, nor can we predict whether any such problems, if they were to develop,would require significant expenditures on our part.  In addition, we areunable to predict what legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted inthe future with respect to environmental protection and waste disposal.

We are subject to regulation by the United StatesEnvironmental Protection Agency in each of our domestic manufacturingfacilities.  In addition, in Texas, we are subject to regulation by thelocal Air Pollution Control District as a result of some of the chemicals usedin our manufacturing processes.  In our Oklahoma facility, we are alsosubject to regulation by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)due to the manufacture and distribution of brachytherapy seeds usingradioactive iodine I-125 and palladium Pd-103.  In our Wisconsin facility,we are also subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Health and HumanServices, Centers for Disease Control, due to the nature of the biologicalagent used to manufacture our botulinum toxin product, *Clostridium botulinum*type A, which is still in the development phase.  Failure to comply with theregulations and requirements of these various agencies could affect our abilityto manufacture products and may have a significant negative impact on sales andresults of operations.

Medicare, Medicaid and Third-PartyReimbursement

Health care providers that purchase medical devices, such asour products, generally rely on third-party payors, including the Medicare andMedicaid programs and private payors, such as indemnity insurers, employergroup health insurance programs and managed care plans, to reimburse all orpart of the cost of the products.  In the United States, our products aresold principally to hospitals, surgery centers, surgeons and patients directlyand, in the case of certain home care products, through dealers anddistributors.  We invoice our customers and they remit directly tous.  In some cases, the patient and the procedure may be eligible forreimbursement by third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and othersimilar programs, but this coverage is invisible to us on a case-by-casebasis.  However, we are aware that some of our customers are beingreimbursed, in full or in part, for our products or for procedures that utilizeour products, and we estimate that as much as 70% or more of our product salescould be reimbursed by these third-party payors.  This reimbursement canbe a significant market factor when the product cost represents a major portionof the total procedure cost and the reimbursement for that procedure (oralternative procedures) is changing, or influencing treatment decisions. As a result, demand for our products is dependent in part on the coverage andreimbursement policies of these payors.  The manner in which reimbursementis sought and obtained for any of our products varies based upon the type ofpayor involved and the setting in which the product is furnished and utilizedby patients.

 

12

Payments from Medicare, Medicaid and other third partypayors are subject to legislative and regulatory changes and are susceptible tobudgetary pressures.  Our customers' revenues and ability to purchase ourproducts and services is therefore subject to the effect of those changes andto possible reductions in coverage or payment rates by third-partypayors.  Any changes in the health care regulatory, payment or enforcementlandscape relative to our customers' health care services may significantlyaffect our operations and revenues.  Discussed below are certain factorswhich could have a significant impact on our future operations and financialcondition.  It is difficult to predict the effect of these factors on ouroperations; however, the effect could be negative and material.

*Medicare Overview*

Medicare is a federal program administered by the Centersfor Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), formerly known as HCFA,through fiscal intermediaries and carriers.  Available to individuals age65 or over, and certain other classes of individuals, the Medicare programprovides, among other things, health care benefits that cover, within prescribedlimits, the major costs of most medically necessary care for such individuals,subject to certain deductibles and co-payments.  There are threecomponents to the Medicare program relevant to our business:  Part A,which covers inpatient services, home health care and hospice care; Part Bwhich covers physician services, other health care professional services andoutpatient services; and Part C or Medicare+Choice, which is a program formanaged care plans.  

The Medicare program has established guidelines for thecoverage and reimbursement of certain equipment, supplies and services. In general, in order to be reimbursed by Medicare, a health care item orservice furnished to a Medicare beneficiary must be reasonable and necessaryfor the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury or to improve thefunctioning of a malformed body part.  The methodology for determining (1)the coverage status of our products; and (2) the amount of Medicarereimbursement for our products, varies based upon, among other factors, thesetting in which a Medicare beneficiary received health care items andservices.  Any changes in federal legislation, regulations and policyaffecting Medicare coverage and reimbursement relative to our products couldhave a material effect on our performance. 

*Medicare - Inpatient Hospital Setting*

A portion of our revenue is derived from our customers whooperate inpatient hospital facilities.  Acute care hospitals are generallyreimbursed by Medicare for inpatient operating costs based upon prospectivelydetermined rates.  Under the Prospective Payment System, or PPS, acute care hospitals receive a predetermined payment rate based upon the Diagnosis-RelatedGroup, or DRG, into which each Medicare beneficiary stay is assigned, regardlessof the actual cost of the services provided.  Certain additional or"outlier" payments may be made to a hospital for cases involvingunusually high costs.  Accordingly, acute care hospitals generally do notreceive direct Medicare reimbursement under PPS for the distinct costs incurredin purchasing our products.  Rather, reimbursement for these costs isdeemed to be included within the DRG-based payments made to hospitals for theservices furnished to Medicare-eligible inpatients in which our products areutilized.  Because PPS payments are based on predetermined rates and areoften less than a hospital's actual costs in furnishing care, acute carehospitals have incentives to lower their inpatient operating costs by utilizingequipment, devices and supplies, including those sold by us, that will reducethe length of inpatient stays, decrease labor or otherwise lower theircosts.  Our product revenue could be affected negatively if acute carehospitals discontinue product use due to insufficient reimbursement, or ifother treatment options are perceived to be more profitable. 

*Medicare - Outpatient Hospital Setting*

CMSimplemented the hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System, or OPPS,effective July 1, 2000.  OPPS is the current payment methodology forhospital outpatient services, among others.  Services paid under the OPPSare classified into groups called Ambulatory Payment Classifications, or APC.  Services grouped within each APC are similar clinically and in terms of the resourcesthey require.  A payment rate is established for each APC through the application of a conversion factor that CMS updates on an annual basis. OPPS may cause providers of outpatient services with costs above the paymentrate to incur losses on such services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. 

13

The Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 provides fortemporary financial relief from the effects of OPPS through the payment ofadditional outlier payments and transitional pass-through payments tooutpatient providers reimbursed through OPPS who qualify for suchassistance.  Transitional pass-through payments are required for new orinnovative medical devices, drugs, and biological agents.  The purpose oftransitional pass-through payments is to allow for adequate payment of new andinnovative technology until there is enough data to incorporate cost for theseitems into the base APC group.  The qualification of a device fortransitional pass-through payments is temporary.  Most of the categoriesestablished under the pass-through system expired on January 1, 2003.  At that time, APC payment rates were adjusted to reflect the costs of devices(and drugs and biologics) that received transitional pass-throughpayments.  In January, 2004, a pass-through methodology was reintroducedfor brachytherapy seeds.  

Annually CMS proposes, and after consideration of publiccomment, implements changes to OPPS and payment rates for the followingcalendar year.  The OPPS methodology determines the amount hospitals willbe reimbursed for procedures performed on an outpatient basis and determinesthe profitability of certain procedures for the hospital and may impacthospital purchasing decisions.  

The products most affected by these most recent changes inreimbursement rules are our penile implants for the treatment of erectiledysfunction and our brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostatecancer.  We cannot predict the final effect that any change in OPPSregulations, including future annual updates, will have on our customers or ourpenile implant and brachytherapy seed revenues.  Any such effect, however,could be negative if APC groupings become less advantageous, reimbursementallowables decline, or if the OPPS is modified in any other manner detrimentalto our business.

*Medicare - Home Setting*

Our disposable urological products are provided to Medicarebeneficiaries in home care settings.  Medicare, under the Part B program,reimburses beneficiaries, or suppliers accepting assignment, for the purchaseor rental of covered Durable Medical Equipment and supplies for use in thebeneficiary's home or a home for the aged (as opposed to use in a hospital orskilled nursing facility setting).  As long as the Medicare Part Bcoverage criteria are met, certain of our products are reimbursed in the homesetting pursuant to a fee schedule payment methodology.  

There are increasing pressures on Medicare to control healthcare costs and to reduce or limit reimbursement rates for home medicalequipment, supplies and services, such as urological products.  Medicareis subject to statutory and regulatory changes, retroactive rate adjustments,administrative and executive orders and governmental funding restrictions, allof which could significantly decrease reimbursement payments to our customersfor our urological products, which may have a material impact on our revenues.

On February 11, 2003, CMS promulgated an interim final rule implementing its "inherent reasonableness"authority, which allows CMS and third-party insurance carriers to adjustpayment amounts by up to 15% per year for certain Medicare covered items andservices when the existing payment amounts are determined to be grosslyexcessive or deficient.  Using this authority, CMS and the carriers mayreduce reimbursement levels for certain items and services covered by MedicarePart B, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. 

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, or MMA, was enacted. The new law significantlychanges how Medicare Part B will pay for many medical supplies and productsused in the home setting.  Starting in 2007, Medicare will begin to phasein a nationwide competitive bidding program to replace the existing feeschedule payment methodology.  Under competitive bidding, suppliers wouldcompete for the exclusive or limited right to provide items to beneficiaries ina defined region.  CMS may use information on payments from thecompetitive bidding program to adjust payments in regions not subject tocompetitive bidding.  The impact of this competitive bidding program onour business is uncertain.  At this time, we do not know with certaintywhether urologicals will be subject to inherent reasonableness and/orcompetitive bidding, nor can we predict the impact of inherent reasonablenessand competitive bidding will have on our business. 

 

14

Some of our medical supplies may be used by home healthagencies ("HHA") in connection with home care services furnished totheir patients.  HHAs are reimbursed by Medicare for their servicespursuant to a Home Health Prospective Payment System, under which most of theservices a Medicare patient receives under a home health plan of care arecovered by a single payment received by the home health agency for each 60-dayepisode of care. Home Health Resource Groups are used to classify patients forpurposes of determining payment rates.  The amount of the payment willultimately depend upon the Home Health Resource Group to which the patient isassigned, and is subject to a variety of adjustments.  The MedicarePrescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 increased themarket basket update by 0.8%, and provided additional reimbursement increasesfor rural HHAs.  Because our HHA customers generally receive fixedpayments for their Medicare covered services, any decrease in reimbursementrates or any increase in HHA operating costs could have a negative impact onour revenues.

*Medicare - Skilled Nursing Facility Setting*

Skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, which may purchase ourproducts, are reimbursed by Medicare under a prospective payment system forMedicare covered services.  Under this system, SNFs are paid apredetermined amount per patient, per day, based on the anticipated costs of treatingpatients. The amount to be paid is determined by assigning each patient uponadmission into one of many resource utilization group ("RUG")categories, based upon a patient's acuity level.  Through the RUGreimbursement system, the SNF receives a patient specific prospectivelydetermined daily payment amount intended generally to cover all inpatientservices and items for Medicare patients, including use of certain of ourproducts.  Because the RUGs system provides SNFs with fixed daily costreimbursement, SNFs have become less inclined than in the past to use productswhich had previously been reimbursed as variable ancillary costs.  CMS issued two increases in SNF rates effective October 1, 2003: a 3.0% increase of the annual update to the market basket and an additional 3.3% market basket increaseto correct the underestimate of the market basket forecast in prioryears.  Because our SNF customers generally receive fixed payments fortheir Medicare covered services, any decrease in reimbursement rates or anyincrease in SNF operating costs could have a negative impact on our revenues.

*Medicaid*

The Medicaid program is a cooperative federal/state programthat provides medical assistance benefits to qualifying low income andmedically needy persons.  State participation in Medicaid is optional andeach state is given discretion in developing and administering its own Medicaidprogram, subject to certain federal requirements pertaining to payment levels,eligibility criteria and minimum categories of services.  The coverage,method and level of reimbursement varies from state to state and is subject toeach state's budget restraints.  Changes to the coverage, method or levelof reimbursement for our products may affect future revenue negatively if reimbursementamounts are decreased or discontinued. 

*Private Payors*

Many third-party private payors, including indemnityinsurers, employer group health insurance programs and managed care plans,presently provide coverage for the purchase of our products.  The scope ofcoverage and payment policies varies among third-party private payors. Furthermore, many such payors are investigating or implementing methods forreducing health care costs, such as the establishment of capitated orprospective payment systems.  Cost containment pressures have led to anincreased emphasis on the use of cost-effective technologies and products byhealth care providers.  Future changes in reimbursement methods and costcontrol strategies may limit or discontinue reimbursement for our products andcould have a negative effect on revenues and results of operations.

*Health Care Fraud and Abuse Laws and Regulations*

The federal government has made a policy decision tosignificantly increase the financial resources allocated to enforcing thehealth care fraud and abuse laws.  Private insurers and various stateenforcement agencies also have increased their level of scrutiny of health careclaims and arrangements in an effort to identify and prosecute fraudulent andabusive practices in the health care industry.  We monitor compliance withfederal and state laws and regulations applicable to the health care industryin order to minimize the likelihood that we would engage in conduct or enterinto contracts that could be deemed to be in violation of the fraud and abuselaws.  The health care fraud and abuse laws to which we are subjectinclude the following, among others:

 

15

*Federal and State Anti-Kickback Laws and Safe Harbor Provisions. *Thefederal anti-kickback laws make it a felony to knowingly and willfully offer,pay, solicit or receive any form of remuneration in exchange for referring,recommending, arranging, purchasing, leasing or ordering items or servicescovered by a federal health care program, including Medicare or Medicaid, subjectto various "safe harbor" provisions.  The anti-kickbackprohibitions apply regardless of whether the remuneration is provided directlyor indirectly, in cash or in kind, and various state laws have similarprohibitions that are sometimes broader in nature.  Interpretations of thelaw have been very broad.  Under current law, courts and federalregulatory authorities have stated that the federal law is violated if even onepurpose (as opposed to the sole or primary purpose) of the arrangement is toinduce referrals.  A violation of the federal statute is a felony andcould result in civil and administrative penalties, including exclusion fromthe Medicare or Medicaid program, even if no criminal prosecution is initiated.

The Department of Health and Human Services has issuedregulations from time to time setting forth safe harbors, which would guaranteeprotection of certain limited types of arrangements from prosecution under thestatute if all elements of a particular safe harbor are met.  However, failureto fall within a safe harbor or within each element of a particular safe harbordoes not mean that an arrangement is *per se*in violation of the federalanti-kickback laws.  As the comments to the safe harbors indicate, thepurpose of the safe harbors is not to describe all illegal conduct, but to setforth standards for certain non-violative arrangements.  If an arrangementviolates the federal anti-kickback laws and full compliance with a safe harborcannot be achieved, we risk greater scrutiny by the Office of the InspectorGeneral, ("OIG"), and, potentially, civil and/or criminalsanctions.  We believe our arrangements are in compliance with the federalanti-kickback laws, and analogous state laws; however, regulatory orenforcement authorities may take a contrary position, and we cannot assure thatthese laws will ultimately be interpreted in a manner consistent with ourpractices.

*Federal False Claims Act.** ***We are subject to state and federallaws that govern the submission of claims for reimbursement.  The federalFalse Claims Act imposes civil liability on individuals or entities that submit(or "cause" to be submitted) false or fraudulent claims to thegovernment for payment.  Violations of the False Claims Act may result incivil monetary penalties for each false claim submitted treble damages andexclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  In addition, we couldbe subject to criminal penalties under a variety of federal statutes to theextent that we knowingly violate legal requirements under federal healthprograms or otherwise present (or cause to be presented) false or fraudulentclaims or documentation to the government.  In addition, the OIG mayimpose extensive and costly corporate integrity requirements upon a healthindustry participant that is the subject of a false claims judgment orsettlement.  These requirements may include the creation of a formalcompliance program, the appointment of a government monitor, and the impositionof annual reporting requirements and audits conducted by an independent revieworganization to monitor compliance with the terms of any such complianceprogram, as well as the relevant laws and regulations.  

The False Claims Act also allows a private individual tobring a "qui tam" suit on behalf of the government for violations ofthe False Claims Act, and if successful, the "qui tam" individualshares in the government's recovery.  A qui tam suit may be brought, withonly a few exceptions, by any private citizen who has material information of afalse claim that has not yet been previously disclosed.  Recently, thenumber of qui tam suits brought in the health care industry has increaseddramatically.  In addition, several states have enacted laws modeled afterthe False Claims Act.

Product Development

We are focused on the development of new products andimprovements to existing products, as well as obtaining FDA approval of certainproducts and processes, and we maintain the highest quality standards ofexisting products.  During fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, we spent atotal of $ 32.8 million, $ 30.0 million and $ 23.0 million, respectively, forresearch and development primarily in support of our silicone gel breastimplant regulatory submissions in the United States and Canada, laboratory testing and clinical studies for our hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillerPuragenTM and our botulinum toxin products.

Patents and Licenses

It is our policy to protect our intellectual property rightsrelating to our products whenever possible and appropriate.  Our patentsand licenses include those relating to penile prostheses, tissue expanders, acombination breast implant and tissue expander (Becker implant), pelvic floorproducts and related surgical implantation methods (trans-obturator approach),body contouring (liposuction) equipment and disposable catheters.  Welicense technology through supplier and licensing arrangements for certainproducts, including brachytherapy seeds and breast implants.  We believethat although our patents and licenses are material in their totality, nosingle patent or license is material to our business as a whole. 

In those instances where we have acquired technology fromthird parties, we have sought to obtain rights of ownership to the technologythrough the acquisition of underlying patents or licenses.  While webelieve design, development, regulatory and marketing aspects of the medicaldevice business represent the principal barriers to entry into such business,we also recognize that our patents and license rights may make it moredifficult for our competitors to market products similar to those weproduce.  We can give no assurance that our patent rights, whether issued,subject to license, or in process, will not be circumvented, terminated, orinvalidated.  Further, there are numerous existing and pending patents onmedical products and biomaterials.  We can give no assurance that ourexisting or planned products do not or will not infringe such rights or thatothers will not claim such infringement or that we will be able to preventcompetitors from challenging our patents or entering markets currently servedby us. 

Raw Material Supply and SingleSource Suppliers

We obtain certain raw materials and components for a numberof our products from single source suppliers, including our implant qualitysilicone elastomers and gel materials for mammary prostheses.  We believeour sources of supply could be replaced if necessary, but it is possible thatthe process of qualifying new materials and/or vendors for certain raw materialsand components could cause an interruption in our ability to manufacture ourproducts and potentially have a material negative impact on sales.  Nosignificant interruptions to raw material supplies occurred during fiscal 2005.

Our saline-filled mammary implants, inflatable penileprostheses, catheters and other products are available for sale in the United States under FDA approvals and/or clearances.  Gel-filled mammary implants areonly available in the United States as part of the adjunct clinicalstudy.  A change in raw material, components or suppliers for products mayrequire a new FDA submission, and subsequent review and approval.  Thereis no assurance that such a submission would be approved without delay, or atall.  Any delay or failure to obtain approval may have a significantadverse impact on our sales and results of operations.  

We have secured supplier arrangements for certainproducts.  Those products includes Tutogen® processed fascia lata for the Suspend® Sling, Tutogen® processed dermis for Axis®,  ObTape®, and ArisTM,,used inpelvic floor reconstruction, BTA *Stat*® bladder cancer test, and radioactive sources for ourpalladium brachytherapy seeds.  These suppliers are our sole-source ofthese products.  Any interruption in their ability to supply the productmay have an adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.  

Seasonality

Our quarterly results reflect slight seasonality, as thesecond fiscal quarter ending September 30 tends to have the lowest revenue ofall of the quarters.  This is primarily due to lower levels of sales ofbreast implants for augmentation, an elective procedure, as surgeons andpatients tend to take vacation, particularly in Europe, during thisquarter.   

Working Capital

We maintain normal industry levels of inventory in each ofthe three segments of our business.  This includes significant consignmentinventories of our aesthetics products to aid the surgeon in correctly sizingan implant to meet patient needs and to reduce the rate of returns of productsthat are purchased in order to facilitate sizing options.  Inventories aremanaged to levels consistent with high levels of customer service. Additionally, new product introductions require inventory build-ups to ensuresuccess. 

17

Our accounts receivable credit terms are consistent withnormal industry practices in each of the markets that we sell ourproducts.  Aesthetic surgery product return policies allow for productreturns for full or partial credit for up to six months.  It is common practiceto order additional quantities and sizes to facilitate correct sizing to meetpatient needs.  Consequently, product return rates are high but areconsidered to be consistent with the industry rates.  See"Application of Critical Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition"of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition andResults of Operations." 

Employees

As of April 30, 2005, we employed approximately 1,975people, of whom 1,123 were in manufacturing, 491 in sales and marketing, 161 inresearch and development and 200 in finance and administration.  In thefourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company initiated restructuring activitiesand resulted in a net reduction of approximately 5% of our workforceand theclosure of a manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom.  We have never had awork stoppage due to labor difficulties, and we consider our relations with ouremployees to be satisfactory.

Risk Factors

**Forward-Looking Information Under the Private SecuritiesLitigation Reform Action of 1995**

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements.  TheAct was designed to encourage companies to provide prospective information aboutthem without fear of litigation.  The prospective information must beidentified as forward-looking and must be accompanied by meaningful cautionarystatements identifying important factors that could cause actual results todiffer materially from those projected in the statements.  The statementsabout our business, plans, strategies, intentions, expectations and prospectscontained throughout this document are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materiallyfrom those predicted as of the date of this report in the forward-lookingstatements, which involve risks and uncertainties.  In addition, pastfinancial performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of futureperformance and investors should not use historical performance to anticipateresults or future period trends.  We undertake no obligation to revise orupdate publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if newinformation becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Our business faces many risks.  The risks described belowmay not be the only risks we face.  Additional risks that we do not yet know ofor that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our businessoperations.  If any of the events or circumstances described in the followingrisks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results ofoperations could suffer and the trading price of our common stock or ourconvertible notes could decline. You should consider the following risks beforedeciding to invest in our common stock or convertible notes. 

***Significant product liability claims or product recalls mayforce us to pay substantial damage awards and other expenses that could exceedour accruals and insurance coverages.***

The manufacture and sale of medical devices exposes us tosignificant risk of product liability claims.  In the past, and currently, wehave had a number of product liability claims relating to our products, and wemay be subject to additional product liability claims in the future, some ofwhich may have a negative impact on our business.  If a product liability claimor series of claims is brought against us for uninsured liabilities or inexcess of our insurance coverage, our business could suffer.  Somemanufacturers that suffered such claims in the past have been forced to ceaseoperations or even to declare bankruptcy. Additionally, we could experience amaterial design or manufacturing failure in our products, a quality systemfailure, other safety issues, or heightened regulatory scrutiny that wouldwarrant a recall of some of our products and could result in exposure toadditional product liability claims. 

***We are subject to substantial government regulation, whichcould have a material adverse affect on our business.***

Theproduction and marketing of our products and our ongoing research anddevelopment activities, including pre-clinical testing and clinical trialactivities, are subject to extensive regulation and review by numerousgovernmental authorities both in the U.S. and abroad.  Most of the medicaldevices we develop must undergo rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing andan extensive regulatory approval process before they can be marketed.  Certainof our products are required to undergo review by a panel of outside expertsselected by the FDA, which makes a recommendation to the FDA as to whether theproduct(s) should or should not be approved.  This process makes it potentiallylonger, more difficult and/or more costly to bring our products to market, andwe cannot guarantee that any of our unapproved products will be approved or howlong it may take for any one particular product to be approved.  Thepre-marketing approval process can be particularly expensive, uncertain andlengthy, and a number of devices for which FDA approval has been sought byother companies have never been approved for marketing.  In addition to testingand approval procedures, extensive regulations also govern manufacturing,packaging, labeling, storage, distribution, record-keeping, and advertising andmarketing procedures.  If we do not comply with applicable regulatoryrequirements, such violations could result in non-approval, suspensions ofclinical trials, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, productrecalls, civil penalties and criminal fines, product seizures, operatingrestrictions, injunctions, and criminal prosecution. 

Delays in,withdrawal, or rejection of the FDA or other government entity approval(s) ofour products may also adversely affect our business.  Such delays, withdrawals,or rejections may be encountered due to, among other reasons, government orregulatory delays, lack of demonstrated safety or efficacy during clinicaltrials, safety issues, manufacturing issues, slower than expected rate ofpatient recruitment for clinical trials, inability to follow patients aftertreatment in clinical trials, inconsistencies between early clinical trialresults and results obtained in later clinical trials, varying interpretationsof data generated by clinical trials, or changes in regulatory policy orrequirements in the U.S. and abroad.  In the U.S., there has been a continuingtrend toward more stringent FDA requirements in the areas of product approvaland enforcement, causing medical device manufacturers to experience longerresearch and development timelines, longer approval cycles, greater risk anduncertainty, and higher expenses. Internationally, there is a risk that we maynot be successful in meeting the quality standards or other certificationrequirements.  Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, suchapproval may entail limitations on uses for which the product may be labeledand promoted, stringent post-marketing requirements, or may prevent us frombroadening the uses of our current products for different applications.  Inaddition, to the extent permissible by law, we may not receive FDA approval toexport our products in the future, and countries to which products are to beexported may not approve them for import. 

 

20

Ourmanufacturing facilities also are subject to continual governmental review andinspection.  The FDA has stated publicly that compliance with manufacturingregulations will be scrutinized more strictly.  A governmental authority maychallenge our compliance with applicable federal, state and/or foreignregulations.  In addition, any discovery of previously unknown problems withone of our products or facilities may result in restrictions on the product orthe facility, including, but not limited to, product recalls, withdrawal of theproduct from the market or other enforcement actions. 

From timeto time, legislative or regulatory proposals are introduced that, ifimplemented, could alter the review and approval process relating to medicaldevices, or related the sale of our products.  It is possible that the FDA orother governmental authorities will issue additional regulations, which couldfurther reduce or restrict the sales of our presently marketed products orproducts under development.  Any change in legislation or regulations thatgovern the review and approval process relating to our current and/or futureproducts, or that restrict the manner by which we may sell our products, couldmake it more difficult and/or costly to obtain approval for new products,and/or to produce, market, and distribute existing products. 

***If we are unable to continue to develop and commercializenew technologies and products, we may experience a decrease in demand for ourproducts or our products could become obsolete****.*

The medicaldevice industry is highly competitive and is subject to significant and rapidtechnological change.  We believe that our ability to develop or acquirenew technologies is crucial to our success.  We are continually engaged inproduct research and development, improvement programs, and required clinicalstudies to develop new technologies and to maintain and improve our competitiveposition.  Any significant delays in the above or termination or failureof our clinical trials would materially and adversely affect our research,development and commercialization timelines.  We cannot guarantee that wewill be successful in enhancing existing products, or in developing oracquiring new products or technologies that will timely achieve regulatoryapproval or success in the marketplace.  

There isalso a risk that our products may not gain market acceptance among physicians,patients and the medical community generally.  The degree of marketacceptance of any medical device or other product that we develop will dependon a number of factors, including demonstrated clinical safety and efficacy,cost-effectiveness, potential advantages over alternative products,user/patient acceptance, and our marketing and distribution capabilities. Physicians will not recommend our products if clinical and/or other data and/orother factors do not demonstrate their safety and efficacy compared to othercompeting products, or if our products do not best meet the particular needs ofthe individual patient.

Our productsalso compete with a number of other similar medical products manufactured bymajor companies, and may also compete with new products currently underdevelopment by major companies and others.  On January 8, 2004, the FDA released a "Draft Guidance for Saline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative BreastImplants."  This new draft guidance has additional requirements from theFDA's previously issued guidance document dated February 2003.  Wecompleted our pre-market approval ("PMA") application to the FDA for oursilicone gel-filled implants for breast augmentation, reconstruction andrevision in December 2003, using the February 2003 guidance document previouslyreleased by the FDA.  The Agency indicated that our PMA "issufficiently complete to permit a substantive review and is, therefore,suitable for filing."  In August 2004, we amended our PMA based on theJanuary 2004 revised (new) FDA draft guidance and responded to other issuesraised by the FDA.  We continue to address the Agency's questions, and the FDAreview and approval process may require additional substantial time andexpense, with no assurances of success.  On April 11-13, 2005, an advisory panel composed of outside experts selected by the FDA met to consider questionspresented to it by the FDA regarding our and our competitor's PMA submissionsand to make a recommendation to the Agency regarding whether the PMAapplications should be approved.  The panel recommended approval of our PMAsubmission to the FDA, with conditions.  The FDA must deliberate on therecommendations of the panel.  We cannot predict the outcome of this review.  TheFDA may not agree or follow the panel's recommendation. The FDA by itself andbased on the panel recommendations could recommend additional post-approvalconditions or requirements that could impact our sales and earnings, dependingon the scope and complexity of the requirements.  Further change in FDAregulatory requirements, including those implemented through new or revised FDAguidance, (such as that announced on January 8, 2004 by the FDA), may delay ormay otherwise adversely affect our pending PMA application as well as itsreview or approval by the FDA.  A delay, denial, or "notapprovable" response by the FDA would have a material adverse effect onour commercialization timelines and competitive position, and ultimately our revenueand operating results.  If our competitor gains FDA approval to market its siliconegel-filled breast implant products before we do, our competitive position willlikely suffer.  If our new products do not achieve significant marketacceptance, or if our current products are not able to continue competingsuccessfully in the changing market, our sales and earnings may not grow asmuch as expected, or may even decline.  

 

21

We alsohave two pending applications for Medical Device Licenses in Canada for our silicone gel-filled breast implants.  An expert advisory panel convened bythe Canadian government on March 22, 2005 to review our pending application forMedical Device Licenses.  We have been notified of Health Canada's desire to hold a public forum on these devices sometime later this year.  Wecannot predict the timing or the outcome of this review, nor determine when orif Health Canada will approve our product application.  In addition, anyapproval could be granted with stringent post-marketing requirements that mayimpact our sales and earnings, depending on the scope and complexity of suchrequirements.

***If we suffer negative publicity concerning the safety of ourproducts, our sales may be harmed and we may be forced to withdraw products.***

Physicians and potential patients may have a number ofconcerns about the safety of our products, including our breast and otherimplants, whether or not such concerns have a basis in generally acceptedscience or peer-reviewed scientific research.  Negative publicity-whetheraccurate or inaccurate-concerning our products could reduce market orgovernmental acceptance of our products and could result in decreased productdemand or product withdrawal.  In addition, significant negative publicitycould result in an increased number of product liability claims, whether or notthese claims are supported by applicable law. 

***If changes in the economy and consumer spending reduceconsumer demand for our products, our sales and profitability could suffer.***

Certain elective procedures, such as breast augmentation,body contouring, and in some cases surgical treatment for male impotence aretypically not covered by insurance.  Adverse changes in the economy may causeconsumers to reassess their spending choices and reduce the demand for thesesurgeries and could have an adverse effect on consumer spending.  This shiftcould have an adverse effect on our sales and profitability. 

***If we are unable to implement new information technologysystems, our ability to manufacture and sell products, maintain regulatorycompliance and manage and report our business activities may be impaired,delayed or diminished, which would cause substantial business interruption andloss of sales, customers and profits.***

We recently implemented an enterprise resource planningsystem at our major locations that will be our primary business managementsystem.  We intend to continue to implement the system for nearly all of ourbusinesses worldwide.  Many other companies have had severe problems withcomputer system implementations of this nature and scope.  We are using acontrolled project plan and we believe we have assigned adequate staffing andother resources to the projects to ensure its successful implementation;however there is no assurance that the design will meet our current and futurebusiness needs or that it will operate as designed.  We are heavily dependenton such computer systems, and any failure or delay in the system implementationwould cause a substantial interruption to our business, additional expense, andloss of sales, customers, and profits. 

***If we are unable to acquire companies, businesses ortechnologies as part of our growth strategy or to successfully integrate pastacquisitions, our growth, sales and profitability could suffer.***

A significant portion of our recent growth has been theresult of acquisitions of other companies, businesses and technologies.  Weintend to continue to acquire other businesses and technologies to facilitateour future business strategies.  There can be no assurance that we will be ableto identify appropriate acquisition candidates, consummate transactions orobtain agreements with terms favorable to us.  Further, once a business isacquired, any inability to integrate the business, failure to retain anddevelop its workforce, or establish and maintain appropriate communications,performance expectations, regulatory compliance procedures, accountingcontrols, and reporting procedures could adversely affect our future sales andearnings.

 

22

***State legislaturesand taxing authorities may create new laws or change their interpretation ofexisting state and local tax laws that may affect future product demand orcreate unforeseen tax liabilities.***

If any state legislature or other government authoritycreates new laws to assess sales taxes on medical procedures determined by themto be cosmetic, our physician and patient customers may have to pay more forour products and future demand may decrease.  In addition, if taxingauthorities determine that our products are cosmetic and thus taxable based ontheir interpretations of existing tax laws or that our products are otherwisetaxable, they may disallow currently available exemptions related to medicalproducts and procedures.  Such taxing authorities may then determine that weowe additional taxes related to product sales from prior periods.  Thesedeterminations would have a negative effect on our results of operations.

***If our intellectual property rights do not adequatelyprotect our products or technologies, others could compete against us moredirectly, which would hurt our profitability.***

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain patentsor rights to patents, protect trade secrets, operate without infringing uponthe proprietary rights of others, and prevent others from infringing on ourpatents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights.  We will be able toprotect our intellectual property from unauthorized use by third parties onlyto the extent that it is covered by valid and enforceable patents, trademarksor licenses.  Patent protection generally involves complex legal and factualquestions and, therefore, enforceability of patent rights cannot be predictedwith certainty; thus, any patents that we own or license from others may notprovide us with adequate protection against competitors.  Moreover, the laws ofcertain foreign countries do not recognize intellectual property rights orprotect them to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. 

In addition to patents and trademarks, we rely on tradesecrets and proprietary know-how.  We seek protection of these rights, in part,through confidentiality and proprietary information agreements.  Theseagreements may not provide sufficient protection or adequate remedies forviolation of our rights in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure ofconfidential and proprietary information.  Failure to protect our proprietaryrights could seriously impair our competitive position. 

***If third parties claim we are infringing their intellectualproperty rights, we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expensesor be prevented from marketing our products.***

Our commercial success depends significantly on our abilityto operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights ofothers.  However, regardless of our intent, our technologies may infringe uponthe patents or violate other proprietary rights of third parties.  In the eventof such infringement or violation, we may face expensive litigation and may beprevented from selling existing products and pursuing product development orcommercialization. 

***We depend on single and sole source suppliers for certainraw materials and licensed or manufactured products and the loss of anysupplier could adversely affect our ability to manufacture or sell many of ourproducts.***

We currently rely on single or sole source suppliers for rawmaterials used in many of our products, including silicone.  In the eventthat they cannot meet our requirements, we cannot guarantee that we would beable to obtain a sufficient amount of quality raw materials in a timelymanner.  We also depend on third party manufacturers for components andlicensed products, including our women's health products and our palladiumbrachytherapy seed product.  If there is a disruption in the supply ofthese products, our sales and profitability would be adversely affected. 

 

23
***Our international business exposes us to a number of risks.***
More than one-third of our sales are derived frominternational operations.  Accordingly, any material decrease in foreign saleswould have a material adverse effect on our overall sales and profitability.Most of our international sales are denominated in Euros, British Pounds,Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars.  Depreciation or devaluation of the localcurrencies of countries where we sell our products may result in our productsbecoming more expensive in local currency terms, thus reducing demand, whichcould have an adverse effect on our operating results.  Our operations andfinancial results may be adversely affected by other international factors,including: 

•     foreign government regulationof medical products; 

•     product liability, intellectualproperty and other claims; 

•     new export licenserequirements; 

•     political or economicinstability in our target markets; 

•     trade restrictions;

•     changes in tax laws andtariffs; 

•     managing foreign distributorsand manufacturers; 

•     managing foreign branchoffices and staffing; 

•     competition; and

•     fluctuations in foreigncurrency exchange rates.

***Health care reimbursement or reform legislation couldmaterially affect our business.***

If any national health care reform or other legislation orregulations are passed that imposes limits on the amount of reimbursement forcertain types of medical procedures or products, or on the number or type ofmedical procedures that may be performed, or that has the effect of restrictinga physician's ability to select specific products for use in patientprocedures, such changes could have a material adverse effect on the demand forour products.  Our revenues depend largely on U.S. and foreign governmenthealth care programs and private health insurers reimbursing patients' medicalexpenses.  Physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers may notpurchase our products if they do not receive satisfactory reimbursement fromthese third-party payers for the cost of procedures using our products.  In the  U.S., there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a numberof federal and state legislative and regulatory proposals to implement greatergovernmental control over the healthcare industry and its related costs.  Theseproposals create uncertainty as to the future of our industry and may have amaterial adverse effect on our ability to raise capital or to formcollaborations.  In a number of foreign markets, the pricing and profitabilityof healthcare products are subject to governmental influence or control.  Inaddition, legislation or regulations that impose restrictions on the price thatmay be charged for healthcare products or medical devices may adversely affectour sales and profitability. 

***If our use of hazardous materials results in contaminationor injury, we could suffer significant financial loss.***

Our manufacturing and research activities involve thecontrolled use of potentially hazardous materials.  We cannot eliminate therisk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials.  In the eventof an accident or environmental discharge, we may be held liable for anyresulting damages, which may exceed our financial resources and any applicableinsurance coverage. 

***Future changes in financial accounting standards may causeadverse unexpected revenue or expense fluctuations and affect our reportedresults of operations.***

A change in accounting standards could have a significanteffect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting oftransactions completed before the change is effective.  New pronouncements andvarying interpretations of existing pronouncements have occurred and may occurin the future.  Changes to existing rules or current practices may adverselyaffect our reported financial results and require restatement of previouslyissued results for retroactive application of the new accounting standard. This was evidenced by the adoption of EITF 04-8 which was adopted in thequarter ended December 2004, resulting in the restatement of fiscal 2004diluted earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding.

***Hedging transactions and other transactions may affect thevalue of the notes.***

In connection with the original issuance of our 23⁄4%convertible subordinated notes in December 2003, we entered into convertiblenote hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our common stock, withCredit Suisse First Boston International, an affiliate of Credit Suisse FirstBoston LLC, the initial purchaser of the notes, to reduce the potential dilutionfrom conversion of the notes up to a price of our common stock of approximately$39.43 per share.  In connection with these hedging arrangements, Credit SuisseFirst Boston International, and/or its affiliates, has taken and, we expect,will continue to take positions in our common stock in secondary markettransactions and/or will enter into various derivative transactions.  Suchhedging arrangements could adversely affect the market price of our commonstock.  In addition, the existence of the notes may encourage short selling inour common stock by market participants because the conversion of the notescould depress the price of our common stock. 

***Litigation may harm our business or otherwise distract ourmanagement.***

Substantial, complex or extended litigation could cause usto incur large expenditures and distract our management, and could result insignificant monetary or equitable judgments against us.  For example, lawsuitsby employees, patients, customers, licensors, licensees, suppliers, businesspartners, distributors, stockholders, or competitors could be very costly andcould substantially disrupt our business.  Disputes from time to time with suchcompanies or individuals are not uncommon, and we cannot assure that we willalways be able to resolve such disputes out of court or on terms favorable tous. 

***Our publicly-filed SEC reports are reviewed by the SEC from time to time and any significant changes required as a result of any such review mayresult in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on thetrading price of our common stock.***

The reports of publicly-traded companies are subject toreview by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies incomplying with applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overalleffectiveness of companies public filings, and comprehensive reviews by the SEC of such reports are now required at least every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of2002.  SEC reviews often occur at the time companies file registrationstatements such as the registration statement we filed in connection with ourconvertible note offering, but reviews may also be initiated at any time by the SEC.  While we believe that our previously filed SEC reports comply, and weintend that all future reports will comply in all material respects with thepublished rules and regulations of the SEC, we could be required to modify orreformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review.  Any modification or reformulation of information contained in such reports could besignificant and result in material liability to us and have a material adverseimpact on the trading price of our securities, including our common stock orour convertible notes.

***Our operating results may fluctuatesubstantially, and could precipitate unexpected movement in the price of ourcommon stock and convertible notes.*** 

Our commonstock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MNT."  On March 31, 2005, the closing price of our common stock on the New York StockExchange was $32.10 per share.  On December 22, 2003, we completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes ("notes") due January 1, 2024 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notes bearinterest at 23⁄4% per annum, are convertible into shares of our common stock atan adjusted conversion price of $29.25 per share and are subordinated to allexisting and future senior debt.  The market prices of our stock andconvertible securities are subject to significant fluctuations in response tothe factors set forth above and other factors, many of which are beyond ourcontrol including such factors as changes in pricing policies by ourcompetitors and the timing of significant orders and shipments.

Such factors, as well as other economic conditions, mayadversely affect the market price of our securities, including our common stockand convertible notes.  There could be periods in which we experienceshortfalls in revenue and/or earnings from levels expected by securitiesanalysts and investors, which could have an immediate and significant adverseeffect on the trading price of our securities, including our common stock andour convertible notes.

**LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.**

InFebruary 2004, we filed a patent infringement suit in the United StatesDistrict Court for the District of Minnesota against American Medical Systems,Inc. ("AMS").  The suit alleged that AMS was inducinginfringement and contributing to the infringement of our United States PatentNo. 6,638,211 B2 ("211 Patent"), a patent involving a method for thetreatment of urinary incontinence in women, by AMS offering for sale andselling its Monarc Subfacial Hammock in the United States.  Thesuit sought******compensatory and treble damages.  AMS subsequentlyserved us with a Complaint for declaratory judgment, which AMS had filed earlier in the same District Court, seeking a declaration that AMS did not infringe any valid claim of the '211 Patent and that the claims of the '211Patent were invalid and unenforceable against AMS.  Because the casesinvolved the same facts, they were assigned to the same judge.  On September 13, 2004, during the early stages of the litigation, we entered into asettlement agreement with AMS under which both parties agreed todismiss their respective lawsuits.  Under the settlement agreement,the parties agreed to concurrently enter into a non-exclusive cross-licenseagreement covering patents and patent applications related to the field offemale pelvic health.  Under the cross-license agreement, AMS made a one-time payment to us in the amount of $2.5 million for access to the '211Patent.

On March 4, 2004, John H. Alico, et. al., d/b/a PTF RoyaltyPartnership ("PTF") filed a lawsuit against us in the BusinessLitigation Session of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, Suffolk County inwhich PTF alleges, among other things, breach of a merger agreement thatinvolved our acquisition of Mentor O&O, Inc. ("O&O"), anunrelated entity at that time, which was dated as of March 14, 1990 ("Merger Agreement") (prior to the merger, O&O had no affiliation withus).  PTF alleges that we breached the terms of the Merger Agreement byfailing to exert commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to obtainapproval by the FDA for a product used for the treatment of urinaryincontinence and by failing to accurately account for and pay royalties due thereunder. PTF seeks damages in excess of $18 million, which is the maximum amount ofroyalties PTF could have received under the Merger Agreement.  Afteralmost ten years, in or about January 2001, we elected to discontinue pursuingFDA approval for the product, given the FDA's repeated and ongoing concernsregarding the product's use for urinary incontinence.  We complied withall of our obligations under the Merger Agreement, which specifically providedthat we were under no obligation to engage in efforts or expenditures inrespect of the product which we in good faith deemed to be inadvisable based onvarious factors.  Accordingly, we intend to vigorously defend thelawsuit.  Dr. Richard Young, a member of our Board of Directors sinceMarch 1990, is a partner of PTF and is a named plaintiff in the aboveaction.  Dr. Young was a shareholder and principal of O&O prior to themerger and was instrumental in facilitating the transition after the merger. Pursuant to Dr. Young's request, thePTF Partnership Agreement has recently been amended to permit withdrawal ofpartners from the PTF Royalty Partnership upon notice.  Thereafter, on June 3, 2005, Dr. Young submitted his notice of withdrawal to the Partnership, and theparties have prepared a stipulation for the court in which they seek theremoval of Dr. Young from the caption of the complaint and as a named party tothe litigation.

In addition, in the ordinary course of our business weexperience other varied types of claims that sometimes result in litigation orother legal proceedings.  Although there can be no certainty, we do notanticipate that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect onus.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchaseprogram, primarily to offset the dilutive effect of our employee stock optionplans, to provide liquidity to the market and to reduce the overall number ofshares outstanding.  All shares repurchased under the program are retiredand are no longer deemed to be outstanding.  The timing of repurchases issubject to market conditions, cash availability, and blackout periods duringwhich we are restricted from repurchasing shares.  We believe, but cannotbe certain, that we will continue to repurchase shares during fiscal 2006,although we cannot estimate or guarantee the amount of shares to be repurchasedduring this time.  There were no share repurchases during the fourthquarter of fiscal 2005, and at March 31, 2005, 1.3 million shares remainedauthorized for repurchase.  Additionally, after the repurchase of the 1.3million shares currently authorized for repurchase, our new Credit Agreementlimits the amount that can be used to repurchase shares to net income from the previousfour quarters less dividends.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.**

The following discussion should be read together with ourconsolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included in thisreport, and the "Risk Factors" information in the"Business" section of this report.  

**APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditionand Results of Operations addresses our consolidated financial statements,which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financialstatements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect thereported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assetsand liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reportedamounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On anon-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments.  We base ourestimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factorsthat are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results ofwhich form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assetsand liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actualresults may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

We believe the following critical accounting policies, amongothers, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in thepreparation of our consolidated financial statements. 

Revenue Recognition

We recognize product revenue, net of discounts, returns, andrebates in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards("SFAS") No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When the Right of ReturnExists," and Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104,"Revenue Recognition."

As required by these standards, revenue is recorded whenpersuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, thebuyer's price is fixed or determinable, contractual obligations have beensatisfied, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  These requirementsare met, and sales and related cost of sales are recognized upon the shipmentof products, or in the case of consignment inventories, upon the notificationof usage by the customer.  We record estimated reductions to revenue forcustomer programs and other volume-based incentives.  Should the actuallevel of customer participation in these programs differ from those estimated,additional adjustments to revenue may be required.  We also allow creditfor products returned within our policy terms.  We record an allowance forestimated returns at the time of sale based on historical experience, recentgross sales levels and any notification of pending returns.  Should theactual returns differ from those estimated, additional adjustments to revenueand cost of sales may be required. 

Accounts Receivable

We market our products to a diverse customer base,principally throughout the United States, Canada and Western Europe.  Wegrant credit terms in the normal course of business to our customers, primarilyhospitals, doctors and distributors.  We perform ongoing creditevaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon paymenthistory and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined throughreview of their current credit information.  We continuously monitorcollections and payments from customers and maintain allowances for doubtfulaccounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of some of ourcustomers to make required payments.  Estimated losses are based onhistorical experience and any specifically identified customer collectionissues.  If the financial condition of our customers, or the economy aswhole, were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of our customers' abilityto make payments, additional allowances may be required.  These additionalallowances for estimated losses would be included in selling, general andadministrative expenses. 

 

30

Inventories

We value our inventory at the lower of cost, based on thefirst-in first-out ("FIFO") cost method, or the current estimatedmarket value of the inventory.  We write down our inventory for estimatedobsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the costof inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about futuredemand and market conditions.  If actual future demand or marketconditions differ from those projected by us, additional inventory valuationadjustments may be required.  These additional valuation adjustments wouldbe included in cost of sales.

Warranties and Related Reserves

We provide an accrual for the estimated cost of productwarranties and product liability claims at the time revenue isrecognized.  Such accruals are based on estimates, which are based onrelevant factors such as historical experience, the warranty period, estimatedcosts, levels of insurance and insurance retentions, identified product qualityissues, if any, and, to a limited extent, information developed by theinsurance company using actuarial techniques.  These accruals are analyzedperiodically for adequacy.  While we engage in extensive product qualityprograms and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating thequality of our component suppliers, the warranty obligation is affected byreported rates of product problems and costs incurred in correcting productproblems.  Should actual reported problem rates or the resulting costsdiffer from our estimates, adjustments to the estimated warranty liability maybe required.  These adjustments would be included in selling, general andadministrative expenses. 

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment

We evaluate long-lived assets, including goodwill and otherintangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  Inaddition, we evaluate goodwill and other intangibles annually in the fourthquarter of each fiscal year.  In assessing the recoverability of goodwilland other intangibles, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cashflows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respectiveassets.  We adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other IntangibleAssets," effective April 1, 2002 and analyzed goodwill and intangibles for impairment. Impairment tests were performed at adoption, and in the fourthquarter of fiscal years 2003 and 2004, and no impairment was noted as a resultof these analyses.  The impairment tests performed in fiscal 2005 indicated certainimpaired assets, for which we recorded impairment charges in fiscal 2005. These impairment charges are included in the results of operations. See Note I- "Intangible Assets and Goodwill" of the "Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements."

Net sales for fiscal 2005 increased $61 million to $483million from $422 million in fiscal 2004, an increase of 14.5%.  Theincrease in net sales for fiscal 2005 resulted from an increase in net sales inboth the domestic and international markets.  Foreign exchange ratemovements, primarily the stronger Euro, had a favorable year-to-year impact oninternational net sales of $12 million, or approximately three percentagepoints of the year-over-year growth.  We expect our net sales to increasein fiscal 2006 at a low double digit rate over net sales in fiscal 2005. 

We have three principal product lines, each of whichconstitutes one of our business segments.  Set forth below is a summary of our netsales for each of the last two fiscal years, by segment.

Net salesof aesthetic and general surgery products increased 15% to $251.7 million from$218.4 million in the prior year.  Net sales of breast implant productsincreased 12% to $217.4 million from $194.1 million in the prior year. Approximately $20.4 million of the increase in breast implant products isattributable to organic growth in unit sales of our breast implants andassociated products and approximately $3.0 million is the result of a favorableimpact of foreign exchange rate movements.  Increased net sales weredriven by growth in the augmentation and reconstruction markets bothdomestically and internationally.  We saw overall growth in domestic unit salesof breast implant products of approximately 12%.  Although we try to avoidcompeting on price, we continue to see competitive price pressure in both thedomestic and international markets for breast implants.  Net sales of bodycontouring products increased 22% to $18.6 million from $15.3 million in theprior year.  Liposuction continues to be the leading surgical cosmeticprocedure in the United States, and sales of our capital equipment, associateddisposable products, and higher average selling prices were the leadingcontributors to our body contouring sales growth.  Other aesthetic products netsales increased 72.3% to $15.7 million from $9.1 million in the prior year,primarily as a result of increased revenue from physician participation in our"Extreme Mentor" direct to consumer television advertising program.  We expectto continue our direct to consumer advertising programs into fiscal 2006.

Net salesof surgical urology products increased 19.3% to $129.3 million from $108.4 millionin the prior year.  The fastest growing product area was our women'shealth offering, in which net sales increased 45% to $22.5 million from $15.6million in the prior year.  This increase was primarily attributable to ourObTape® trans-obturator sling, which was introduced in the United States in August 2003 for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.  Net salesof our disposable urinary care products increased 17.4% to $64.6 million from$55.0 million in the prior year.  The majority of this increase wasattributable to increased sales at our international branches, which alsoreceived the benefit of favorable exchange rate movements.  Penile implantsales increased 13.6% to $26.4 million, from $23.2 million in the prior year,due to increased market acceptance of our Titan® penile device,which carries a higher average selling price than its predecessor product, theAlpha I, both domestically and in Europe, and a reduction in the trend ofpatients sampling competitive drug therapies for erectile dysfunction, whichhad negatively impacted prior year sales.  Brachytherapy product net salesincreased by 8.3% to $15.8 million, from $14.6 million in the prior year,primarily as a result of higher unit sales due to the absence of supplyinterruptions, which occurred in the prior year.  The favorable impact offoreign exchange rate variations for the surgical urology product segment,which primarily benefits our disposable urinary care products, was $5.0 millionfor the year.

Net sales of clinical and consumer healthcare productsincreased 7.4% to $102.4 million from $95.4 million in the prior year.  Netsales growth was generally aided by the effect of the stronger Euro as nearlyhalf of these product sales are invoiced in currencies other than the U.S.Dollar; this positive effect was approximately $3.8 million for thesegment.  The remainder of the growth is attributable to an overallincrease in unit sales in all product groupings, partially offset by decreasesin average selling prices.  Net sales of intermittent catheters increased 14.9%,or $4.6 million to $35.5 million.  Net sales of male external catheters increased8.3%, or $1.3 million, to $19.4 million.  Net sales of otherdisposable healthcare and ostomy products increased 2.4% to $47.5 million from$46.4 million in the prior year, primarily due to the favorable impact offoreign exchange rate movements.

Cost of Sales 

Cost of sales for fiscal 2005 was 35.9% of net sales,compared to 38.1% in fiscal 2004.  Cost of sales for the aesthetic andgeneral surgery products decreased to 24.3% from 27.7% of net sales, primarilydue to favorable pricing on raw materials and overall improved manufacturingefficiencies at our Texas and Netherlands facilities.  Cost of sales forsurgical urology products decreased to 45.9% from 48.6% of net sales, primarilydue to increased sales of women's health products, which have a higher marginthan other surgical urology products.  Cost of sales for clinical andconsumer healthcare products increased to 51.9% from 49.9% of net sales in theprior year, primarily due to manufacturing inefficiencies at certain of ourforeign manufacturing facilities and lower average selling prices to ourinternational distributors. 
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $24million to 36.5% of net sales in fiscal 2005 compared to 36.1% of net sales infiscal 2004.  We had generally higher levels of expenses at ourforeign sales and manufacturing subsidiaries of approximately $5.8, of which approximately$4.0 million reflects the effect of foreign currency rate movements, primarilythe stronger Euro.  Also contributing to the increase was approximately $3.3million in incentive compensation expenses associated with achieving specificoperating targets, our recently launched direct to consumer televisionadvertising program of approximately $3.0 million, and higher legal related expensesof approximately $3.2 million due to increased litigation expenses and otherlegal and corporate matters.  In addition, to a lesser extent, increased costsassociated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and increased support ofsales and marketing contributed to the year over year increase.  The increasein general and administrative expense was partially offset by lower productwarranty and product liability expenses of approximately $1.3 million.

Research and Development

Research and development spending primarily supports our keystrategic product development programs.

Research and development expenses in fiscal 2005 increased $2.8million to $32.8 million from $30.0 million in fiscal 2004, but decreased as apercentage of net sales to 6.8% from 7.1% in fiscal 2004.  The majority ofthe increase was attributable to the aesthetic and general surgery segment andwas primarily due to increased support for our silicone gel-filled breastimplant regulatory submissions in the United States and Canada, increased patient volume in our adjunct study, new clinical studies and laboratory testingfor our hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler product, PuragenTM, and ourbotulinum toxin project.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we recordeda $0.8 million charge related to the termination of a brachytherapy developmentproject and related automated manufacturing equipment.  We  continue to be committedto a variety of clinical studies and laboratory tests in connection with ourgel-filled and saline-filled mammary implants and other products.  

SeveranceCharges

On February 16, 2005, Christopher J. Conway and Adel Michael each resigned as a director andexecutive officer of the Company.  In connection with resignation and severanceagreements entered into with them, we incurred $8.5 million in expenses inFebruary 2005, as set forth in the table below:

As one ofthe co-founders of our Company, and following 36 years of service, Mr. Conwayreceived certain severance compensation in the form of cash payments totaling$2.3 million and non-cash benefits in the amount of $2.1 million related to theaccelerated vesting of his unvested and unexpired stock options.  In addition, Mr.Adel Michael, our former Vice Chairman, received severance compensation in theform of cash benefits in the amount of $1.8 million and non-cash benefits inthe amount of $2.3 million related to the accelerated vesting of his unvestedand unexpired employee stock options.     

Restructuringand Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges  

During thefourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we incurred $8.2 million in expensesrelated certain long-lived assets that were determined to be impaired, andrestructuring of certain of our operations to achieve improved efficiencies. The impairment charges totaled $3.2 million.  Of this amount, $2.9 millionrelated to intangible assets within the surgical urology segment, and $0.3million within the aesthetics and general surgery segment.  The restructuringcharges totaled $5.0 million and resulted in a net reduction of approximately5% of our workforce and the closure of a manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom.  Of this amount, $1.1 million related to the aesthetics and general surgerysegment, $1.9 million related to the surgical urology segment, and $2.0 millionrelated to the clinical and consumer healthcare segment. 

Interest and Other Income and Expense

Interest expense increased to $5.4 million in fiscal 2005,compared to $1.8 million in fiscal 2004.  Approximately $4.9 million ofthe expense relates to the 2 3⁄4% coupon and issuance cost amortization for our $150million convertible subordinated notes issued in December 2003.  The increasein interest expense is attributable to a full year of interest and amortizationof issuance costs on these notes as interest expense for fiscal 2004, includedonly four months of accrued interest payable and amortization of bond issuecosts.  The remaining interest expense is interest on balances outstandingunder our foreign lines of credit, which benefited from lower rates of interestand lower levels of borrowings.  

 

34

Interest income increased to $2.0 million in fiscal 2005,from $1.7 million in fiscal 2004.  The increase is due to higher prevailinginterest rates on short term investments, and slightly longer maturities,partially offset by lower levels of cash balances available for investment. 

Other income primarily includes gains or losses on sales ofmarketable securities and foreign currency gains or losses related to ourforeign operations.  Other income decreased to $1.0 million from $1.2million in the prior year.  This decrease was the result of the less favorableimpact of the Euro's relative strength compared to the U.S. Dollar, and a decreasein realized and unrealized gains and losses in our portfolio of marketablesecurities.  These decreases were partially offset by a one-time gains ofapproximately $0.5 million relating to insurance proceeds received to coverlost sales margin on finished goods inventory that was damaged, and a gain ofapproximately $0.5 million relating to the sale of a building in the United Kingdom in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

Income Taxes

Our effective rate of corporate income taxes was 32.4% infiscal year 2005, an increase of 0.8% of pretax income from the 31.6% rate infiscal year 2004.  This increase is a result of higher state taxes andreduced research and development credits, partially offset by greater taxbenefits associated with our foreign operations.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

Net income in fiscal 2005 increased slightly to $54.9million from $54.8 million in fiscal 2004.  Earnings per share increased9.2% to $1.31 per share in fiscal 2005 from $1.20 per share in fiscal 2004. Diluted earnings per share increased 3.5% to $1.17 for the fiscal year comparedto a restated $1.13 for fiscal 2004.  (As required by EITF 04-8, we haveretroactively restated diluted earnings per share figures for fiscal 2004 forthe impact of our convertible subordinated notes issued in December 2003.)  Theeffect of share repurchases was partially offset by the dilutive effect toearnings per share following the adoption of EITF 04-8 which required theinclusion, for calculation purposes, of additional shares that are contingentlyissuable.  As a result of our stock repurchase program, we have fewer sharesoutstanding, resulting in a positive impact on the year-over-year comparison ofdiluted earnings per share.

Net income in fiscal 2005 remained relatively unchanged,although diluted earnings per share was positively impacted by fewer sharesoutstanding due to our stock repurchase program.  Increased net sales andlower cost of goods sold in fiscal 2005 were offset by higher operatingexpenses, including severance, restructuring and long-lived asset impairmentcharges, as well as higher interest expense resulting in net income being essentiallyunchanged from 2004.  We expect diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2006to be in the range of $1.60 to $1.65.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effecton our financial condition and results of operation for the reporting periodspresented in this report.  We cannot be certain that inflation will nothave a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

Net sales

Net sales for fiscal 2004 increased $40 million to $422million from $382 million in fiscal 2003, an increase of 10.4%.  The increasein net sales for fiscal 2004 resulted from increased sales in both the domesticand international markets.  Foreign exchange rate movements, primarily thestronger Euro, had a favorable year-to-year impact on international net salesof $21 million, or approximately five percentage points of the year-over-yeargrowth.

During fiscal 2004 ,net sales of aesthetic and generalsurgery products increased 14% to $218.4 million from $191.4 million in theprior year.  Net sales of breast implant products increased 13% to $194.1million from $172.0 million in the prior year.  Approximately $17.0million of the increase in breast implant products is attributable to organicgrowth in unit sales of our breast implants and associated products andapproximately $5.1 million was the result of favorable foreign exchange ratemovements.  Net sales of body contouring products increased 21% to $15.3million from $12.6 million in the prior year.  The increase in bodycontouring product sales was primarily attributable to increased liposuctionprocedural volumes, as awareness and acceptance of this procedure increased. In addition, other product net sales increased $2.2 million, which wasprimarily attributable to our acquisition of Inform Solutions, now doingbusiness as Mentor Solutions, and ancillary product sales. 

Net sales of surgical urology products in fiscal 2004increased 1.6% to $108.4 million from $106.7 million in the prior year. Increases in net sales of women's health products and disposable urinary careproducts, along with a favorable impact of foreign exchange rate movements of$9.4 million were partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in penile implantnet sales and a $9.9 million decrease in brachytherapy product sales from theprior year.  Net sales of women's health products increased 56% to $15.5million from $10.0 million in the prior year primarily due to the introductionof the ObTape sling to the U.S. market in August 2003 and the favorable impactof foreign exchange rate movements.  Net sales of disposable urinary careand other products increased 13.6% to $55 million from $47.5 million in theprior year.  The increase was primarily a result of the favorable impactof foreign exchange rate movements.  Net sales of penile implant productsfor the year decreased 6% to $23.2 million from $24.7 million in the prioryear.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we restructured our domesticurology sales force and provided cross-training across the full range of oururology product line, which we believe attributed to a short-term negativeimpact on our penile implant product sales.  In addition, we believe netsales were also negatively impacted by the recent introduction of new drugtherapies for erectile dysfunction in the United States.  Brachytherapy netsales decreased $9.9 million to $14.6 million from $24.5 million, a decrease of40% from the prior year.  This decrease is a result of severalfactors.  On January 31, 2003, our exclusive distribution and supplyagreement with NASI, which was our sole source of iodine and palladium seeds,expired resulting in an interruption of our supply of seeds.  On February 1, 2003, we completed our acquisition of Mills Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and begansupplying our customers with iodine seeds manufactured by Mills.  Inaddition, we reached a nonexclusive one-year agreement with Best Medical, Inc.(Best) to distribute BestTM Palladium-103brachytherapy seeds.  However, due to Best's difficulties in increasingmanufacturing capacity in a short time frame, and our inability to securesufficient new vendor supply of palladium brachytherapy seeds, we were unableto fill all customer orders.  In addition, alternative procedures, changesin Medicare reimbursement, and additional competitive pressures have decreasedprocedural volumes and decreased average selling prices of our brachytherapyproducts.  These market factors and supply interruptions resulted in lostsales of approximately $3 million per quarter for the first three quarters offiscal 2004 and lost sales of approximately $1 million in the fourthquarter.  

 

36

Net sales of clinical and consumer healthcare products infiscal 2004 increased 13% to $95.4 million from $84.3 million in the prioryear.  Net sales growth was generally aided by the effect of the strongerEuro as nearly half of these product sales are invoiced in currencies otherthan the U.S. Dollar; this effect was approximately $6.4 million for thesegment.  The remainder of the growth was attributable to recentdirect-to-consumer advertising, and the introduction of the Self-Cath PlusTM lubricious catheter in fiscal 2002, which positivelyimpacted unit sales.  Net sales of intermittent catheters increased 9%, or$2.5 million to $31.0 million, and were partially offset by a decrease of 8%,or $1.5 million in net sales of male external catheters as compared in theprior year.  The decrease in male external catheter sales was primarilyattributable to the timing of distributor purchases.  Net sales of otherdisposable healthcare and ostomy products increased 28% to $46.3 million from$36.2 million in the prior year primarily due to favorable foreign exchangerate movements and unit sales growth. 

Cost of Sales 

Cost of sales for fiscal 2004 was 38.1% of net sales,compared to 40.0% in fiscal 2003.  Cost of sales for the aesthetic andgeneral surgery products decreased to 27.7% from 28.1% of net sales, primarilydue to efficiencies of scale and improved manufacturing efficiencies at our Texas facility, partially offset by manufacturing inefficiencies at our manufacturingfacility in The Netherlands.  Cost of sales for surgical urology productsdecreased to 48.6% from 51.2% of net sales, primarily due to the decrease inbrachytherapy sales which have a lower margin than other surgical urologyproducts and the vertical integration of our subsidiary, MillsBiopharmaceuticals, as the manufacturer of our own iodine brachytherapyseeds.  Cost of sales for clinical and consumer healthcare productsdecreased to 49.9% from 52.7% of net sales in the prior year, primarily due toproduct mix shift towards higher margin products and manufacturing efficienciesin our Minnesota facility. 

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $23million to 36.1% of net sales in fiscal 2004 compared to 33.9% of net sales infiscal 2003.  Approximately $8 million of the increase reflects the effectof foreign currency rate movements, primarily the stronger Euro.  We hadgenerally higher levels of expenses at our foreign sales and manufacturingsubsidiaries of approximately $4.4 million and new general and administrativeexpenses at recently acquired subsidiaries of approximately $2.2 million. During fiscal 2004 we implemented a global enterprise resource planning("ERP") system.  As a result, certain non-capitalizable expenses,training costs, depreciation and start-up inefficiencies contributed to higherlevels of expenses.  These costs were approximately $3 million.  Sellingand marketing expenses included approximately $1 million of additional expensesrelated to the reorganization of the urology sales forces for cross trainingand costs related to a reduction in the number of employees.  The balanceof the increase is generally related to higher levels of selling and marketingefforts. 

Research and Development

Research and development expenses in fiscal 2004 increased$7.0 million to $30.0 million and to 7.1% of net sales from 6.0% in fiscal2003.  Approximately $5.8 million of the increase was attributable to theaesthetic and general surgery segment and was primarily due to increasedactivity in our breast implant studies to support our silicone gel-filledbreast implant PMA, increased patient volume in our adjunct study, and ourrecent acquisition of A-Life Ltd., which was in the process of developing a hyaluronicacid based soft tissue filler for aesthetic facial applications.  Theremaining increase of $1.2 million was attributable to our ongoing developmentactivities in our surgical urology segment and the development of automatedmanufacturing technologies, and development expenses related to brachytherapyseeds.  Our gel implant PMA was filed with the FDA in December 2003 and weamended our application to meet new Draft Guidance for Saline, Silicone Gel,and Alternative Breast Implants released by the FDA during fiscal 2004.

 

37
Interest and Other Income and Expense
Interest expense increased to $1.8 million in fiscal 2004,compared to $1.0 million in fiscal 2003.  Interest expense includedinterest on our foreign lines of credit and imputed interest on long-term liabilitiesrecorded at net present value related to certain acquisitions of assets duringfiscal 2001 and 2002.  In December 2003, we issued 23⁄4% convertiblesubordinated notes totaling $150 million.  Interest expense for fiscal2004 includes four months of accrued interest payable and amortization of bondissue costs.  The increase in interest expense is attributable to theinterest on these notes, partially offset by lower rates of interest, lowerlevels of borrowings on our operating lines and decreased levels of imputedinterest on acquisition liabilities.  

Interest income decreased to $1.7 million in fiscal 2004,from $2.5 million in fiscal 2003.  The decrease was due to lowerprevailing interest rates on short-term investments, partially offset by higherlevels of cash balances available for investment.  

Other income in fiscal 2004 primarily includes gains orlosses on sales of marketable securities and foreign currency gains or lossesrelated to our foreign operations.  Other income, net increased to $1.2million from $0.6 million in the prior year.  This increase was the resultof the favorable impact of the Euro's relative strength compared to the U.S.dollar, partially offset by a decrease in realized and unrealized gains andlosses in our portfolio of marketable securities.  During fiscal 2003 werecorded a one-time pre-tax impairment charge of $1,857,000 related to ourinvestment in Paradigm Medical.  Also in fiscal 2003, we sold ourremaining investment in NASI and we recorded a pre-tax gain of $403,000.

Income Taxes

Our effective rate of corporate income taxes was 31.6% infiscal year 2004, an increase of 2.2% of pretax income from the 29.4% rate infiscal year 2003.  The increase in the effective tax rate represented areturn to our historic effective tax rate, as the prior year's rates reflectedrefunds received in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 related to theamendment of tax returns for our foreign sales corporation.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

Net income in fiscal 2004 decreased 2% to $54.8 million from$55.8 million in fiscal 2003.  Earnings per share was $1.20 per share inboth fiscal 2004 and 2003.  Diluted earnings per share was $1.13 perdiluted share, as restated to reflect the additional shares that would beissued upon conversion of our 23⁄4 % convertiblenotes, in accordance with the adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-8 in December 2004,in  fiscal 2004 and $1.15 in fiscal 2003.  The effect of lower net incomein fiscal 2004 was offset by the positive impact of fewer shares outstandingdue to our stock repurchase program.  Increased net sales and lower costof goods sold in fiscal 2004 were offset by higher operating expenses, whichresulted in a decrease in operating income.  Fiscal 2004 net income waspartially impacted by a slightly higher effective tax rate compared to fiscal2003.  

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketablesecurities of $113 million and $127 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Other than the proceeds of the December 2003 offering ofconvertible subordinated notes, cash provided by operating activities has beenour primary recurring source of funds. 

We invest excess cash in marketable securities that arehighly liquid, of high-quality investment grade, and predominantly havematurities of less than one year from the date of purchase.  The Company'sshort-term marketable securities consist primarily of money market mutualfunds, U.S. state and municipal government and government agency obligations,Federal Home Loan Bank and Mortgage Association bonds, auction rate securities,and investment grade corporate obligations, including commercial paper. 

Cash flow changes

Cash provided by operating activities of $94 million infiscal 2005 and $74 million in fiscal 2004 was greater than net income in both2005 and 2004 due to the net impact of non-cash adjustments to income.  Non-cashadjustments include depreciation and amortization, compensation expense relatedto the acceleration of stock options, tax benefits from stock options,impairment of long-lived assets, imputed interest on long-term liabilities, aswell as adjustments for gains and losses from the sale of investments.  Forfiscal year ended March 31, 2005, there was a positive working capital changeresulting from cash provided by an increase in accounts payable and accruedliabilities offset by cash used for accounts receivable and inventoryincreases.  However, the days sales outstanding metric improved decreasing from82 days at March 31, 2004, to 77 days at March 31, 2005.  

 

38

Cash used in investing activities is primarily attributableto net purchases of marketable debt securities, capital expenditures and cashconsideration used in acquisitions.  Total cash used in investing activities was$38 million in fiscal 2005 and $45 million in fiscal 2004.  We reinvested ourcash in marketable debt securities in net amounts of $28 million and $7 millionin fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Our capital expenditures totaled $9.7 million in fiscal 2005as a result of upgrades to our production facilities and equipment, and thecompletion of our botulinum toxin production facility.  We anticipate doublingour capital expenditures to approximately $20 million in fiscal 2006, as wewill continue to invest in facility improvements and production equipment. During fiscal 2004, we invested approximately $18 million to upgrade productionequipment and facilities, complete our iodine brachytherapy seed productioncapabilities, automate production technologies, and upgrade and replace ourinformation technology systems with a new Enterprise Resource Planning System ("ERP")by JD Edwards.  In addition, in fiscal 2004, we invested $6 million procuringintangible rights to products and technologies.

There were no acquisitions in fiscal 2005.  In fiscal 2004,$14 million in cash was used for acquisitions.   

On August 25, 2003, we completed the acquisition of A-LifeLtd, a subsidiary of Vitrolife AB.  The consideration totaled $7.5 millionof which $7.4 million was paid in cash from existing cash balances. 

On September 9, 2003, we entered into several transactionsto acquire from AMI, LLC, the exclusive license, marketing and distributionrights for certain products, and a related supply agreement with Prosurg,Inc.  We paid $3 million in cash and issued 133,630 restricted shares ofour common stock valued at fair market value of $3 million.  

On October 25, 2003, we acquired Inform Solutions, Inc., fortotal consideration of $3 million in cash.  The agreement committed us tomake additional payments totaling up to $1.7 million based upon achievement offuture sales and earnings thresholds over three years following the acquisition.  Approximately $0.2 million waspaid during fiscal 2005 and approximately $1.5 million remains.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities is primarilyrelated to our stock repurchases, dividends paid, employee stock optionexercises, and debt financing activities.

We have a stock repurchase program, primarily to offset thedilutive effect of our employee stock option program, to provide liquidity tothe market, and to reduce the overall number of shares outstanding.  Allshares repurchased under the program are retired and are no longer deemed to beoutstanding.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, 2.3 million shares were repurchased for $79.8 million.  The December repurchase included the repurchaseof 2.25 million shares from two investment partnerships managed by VA Partners,LLC, which was at the time, our largest shareholder.  Mr. Jeff Ubben, amanaging member of VA Partners, LLC, is a member of our Board of Directors. The repurchase of such shares was at or below closing market price quotationson the NYSE, and the transactions were pre-approved by our Audit Committee.  At March 31, 2005, 1.3 million shares remained authorized for repurchase.  Thetiming of our repurchases is subject to market conditions, cash availability,and blackout periods during which we are restrictedfrom repurchasing shares.  There is no guarantee that shares authorizedfor repurchase by the Board will ultimately be repurchased.  Additionally,after the repurchase of the 1.3 million shares currently authorized forrepurchase, our new Credit Agreement limits the amount that can be used to repurchaseshares to net income from the previous four quarters less dividends. 

In September 2004, the Board of Directors authorized anincrease in the quarterly dividend rate from $.15 per share to $.17 per share. Previously, in July 2003, the Board of Directors declared an increase in thequarterly dividend rate from $.02 per share to $.15 per share.  It is ourintent to continue to pay dividends for the foreseeable future subject to,among other things, Board approval, cash availability, debt restrictions andalternative cash needs.  At the current annual dividend rate of $.68 pershare, the aggregate annual dividend would be approximately $29 million. 

We receive cash from the exercise of employee stockoptions.  Employee stock option exercises provided $11.5 million and $10.1million of cash in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Proceeds from theexercise of employee stock options will vary from period to period based upon,among other factors, fluctuations in the market value of our common stock relativeto the exercise price of such options.

Financing

*Senior Credit Facility*

On May 26, 2005, we entered into a three-year Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") that provides uswith a $200 million senior revolving credit facility, subject to a $20 millionsublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit, a $10million sublimit for swing line loans, and a $50 million alternative currencysublimit.  At our election and subject to lender approval, the amount availablefor borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be increased by an additional $50million.  Funds are available under the Credit Agreement to finance permittedacquisitions, stock repurchases up to certain dollar limitations, and for othergeneral corporate purposes.  As of June 14, 2005, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. 

Interest on borrowings(other than swing line loans) under the Credit Agreement is at a variable ratethat is calculated, at our option, at the prime rate, or LIBOR plus an additionalpercentage that varies between 1% and 1.65%, depending on our senior leverageratio at the time of the borrowing.  Swing line loans bear interest at theprime rate plus additional basis points, depending on our senior leverage ratioat the time of the loan.  In addition, we paid certain fees to the lenders toinitiate the Credit Agreement and will pay an unused commitment fee based onour senior leverage ratio and unborrowed lender commitments.

Borrowings under the CreditAgreement are guaranteed by two of our domestic subsidiaries and are alsosecured by a pledge of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of two of our otherdomestic subsidiaries and by 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our Frenchsubsidiary.  In addition, if the ratio of total funded debt to adjusted earningsbefore interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (or "adjusted EBITDA"),exceeds 2.50 to 1.00, then we are obligated to grant to the lenders a firstpriority perfected security interest in essentially all of our domestic assets.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain financial andoperational restrictions, including financial covenants that require us tomaintain a maximum consolidated funded debt leverage ratio of not greater than4.00 to 1.00, a senior funded debt ratio of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, a minimumquarterly adjusted EBITDA, and a minimum fixed charge ratio of greater than1.25 to 1.00.  The covenants also restrict our ability, among other things, tomake certain investments, incur certain types of indebtedness or liens, makeacquisitions in excess of $20 million except in compliance with certaincriteria, and repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or dispose ofassets above specified thresholds.  The Credit Agreement also containscustomary events of default, including payment defaults, material inaccuraciesin our representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy andinvoluntary proceedings, monetary judgment defaults in excess of specifiedamounts, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, change of control, andERISA defaults. 

*Convertible Subordinated Notes*

On December 22, 2003, we completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due January 1, 2024, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notesbear interest at 23⁄4% per annum and are convertible into shares of our commonstock at an initial conversion price of $29.289 per share and are subordinated toall existing and future senior debt.  Concurrent with the issuance of theconvertible subordinated notes, we entered into a convertible bond hedge andwarrants transactions with respect to our common stock, the exposure for whichis held by Credit Suisse First Boston LLC for a net cash payment of $18.5million.  Both the bond hedge and the warrants transactions may be settledat our option either in cash or net shares and expire January 1, 2009.  The convertible bond hedge and warrants transactions combined are intended toreduce the potential dilution from conversion of the notes by effectivelyincreasing the conversion price per share, from our perspective, toapproximately $39.43. 

*Other Financing*

In addition, in fiscal2001, we established several lines of credit with local foreign lenders tofacilitate operating cash flow needs at our foreign subsidiaries.  Theselines are at market rates of interest, unsecured, are guaranteed by us, andtotal $7.4 million, of which $2.2 million was outstanding, and $5.2 million wasavailable at March 31, 2005.  

 

40

In fiscal 2002, a line of credit of $6.7 million wasestablished to finance the construction of a new facility in Leiden, the Netherlands.  Upon completion, the line of credit was converted to a revolvingfacility.  The borrowings accrue interest at EURIBOR plus 0.75% and are securedby the new facility and other assets in The Netherlands.  At March 31, 2005, $1.0 million was outstanding and $5.7 million was available under thisline.  

At March 31, 2005, our total short-term borrowings under alllines of credit were $3.2 million and the weighted-average interest rate was5.42%.  The total amount of additional borrowings available to us underall lines of credit was $10.9 million and $28.1 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The decrease in the amounts available from the prior yearis primarily due to the expiration of our previous $25 million credit agreementin September 2004.

The nature of our business creates a need to enter intopurchase obligations with suppliers.  In accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States, these unconditionalpurchase obligations are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balancesheets.  Inventory related and other purchase obligations do not exceedour projected requirements over the normal course of business.  

We enter into various product and intellectual propertyacquisitions and business combinations.  In connection with some of theseactivities, we agree to make payments to third parties when specific milestonesare achieved, such as receipt of regulatory approvals or achievement ofperformance or operational targets.  

The expected timing of payment of the obligations discussedabove is estimated based on current information.  Timing of payments andactual amounts paid may be different depending on the time of receipt of goodsor services or changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations. Amounts disclosed as contingent or milestone-based obligations are dependent onthe achievement of the milestones or the occurrence of the contingent eventsand can vary significantly.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that arecurrently material or reasonably likely to be material to our financialposition or results of operations. 

 

41

We believe that funds generated from operations, our cash,cash equivalents and marketable securities and funds available under our lineof credit agreements will be adequate to meet our working capital needs andcapital expenditure investment requirements and commitments for the foreseeablefuture.  However, it is possible that we may need to raise additionalfunds to finance unforeseen requirements or to consummate acquisitions of otherbusinesses, products or technologies through the sale of equity or debtsecurities to the public or to selected investors, or by borrowing money fromfinancial institutions.  In addition, even though we may not needadditional funds, we may still elect to sell additional equity or debtsecurities or borrow for other reasons.  There are no assurances that wewill be able to obtain additional funds on terms that would be favorable to us,or at all.  If funds are raised by issuing additional equity securities orconvertible debt securities, the ownership percentage of existing shareholderswould be reduced.  In addition, equity or debt securities issued by us mayhave rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock.

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

Certain words in this report like "believe,""intend," "anticipate," "expect,""estimate," "seek," "project", "plan","will", and similar expressions are intended to identify, in certaincases, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private SecuritiesLitigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements involve known and unknownrisks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differmaterially from the predicted results.  Such factors which may affectforward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
-  Significantproduct liability, warranty claims, or other claims; 
-  Errors inestimates, assumptions and judgments used in accounting; 
-  Non-compliancewith FDA and other regulatory agencies; 
-  Inadequatereimbursement by government agencies and others for our products;  
-  Difficultiesimplementing and integrating new information technologies systems; and 
-  Other factorsoutlined in our previously filed public documents, copies of which may beobtained without cost from us. 

Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not toplace too much weight on such statements.  We are not obligated to updatethese forward-looking statements.

**ITEM 7A.**

**QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET  RISK.**

The following discussion about our market risks involvesforward-looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially fromthose projected in the forward-looking statements.  We are exposed tomarket risk related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchangerates.  We generally do not use derivative instruments. 

*Interest Rate Risk*

We maintain a portfolio of highly liquid cash equivalents,with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.  Wealso have current marketable securities, consisting primarily of money marketmutual funds, U.S., state and municipal bonds, and commercial paper that are oflimited credit risk and have contractual maturities of less than two years and investmentsin Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Mortgage Association bonds withmaturities of two to five years.  Given the relative short-term nature ofthese investments, we do not expect to experience any material impact upon ourresults of operation as a result of changes to interest rates related to theseinvestments.

On December 22, 2003, we completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due January 1, 2024 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notes bear interest at afixed rate of 23⁄4% per annum.  Our subsidiaries also maintain certainlevels of variable rate debt such as operating lines of credit.  Themajority of our debt carries a fixed rate percentage and therefore is notsubject to significant interest rate risk.  A 100 basis point change ininterest rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations orfinancial condition related to the variable rate debt described.

*Exchange Rate Risk*

A portion of our operations consist of sales activities inforeign markets.  We manufacture our products primarily in the United States and Europe and sell them outside the U.S. through a combination ofinternational distributors and wholly owned sales offices.  Sales tothird-party distributors and to the wholly owned sales offices are transactedin U.S. Dollars, Euros, British Pounds, and Canadian Dollars.  Our foreignsales offices primarily invoice customers in their local currency.

 

42

As a result, our financial results could be significantlyaffected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weakeconomic conditions in the foreign markets mentioned.  The principal riskexposure we face results from fluctuation in foreign exchange rates.  Weexperience transactional exchange rate risk when one of our subsidiaries enterinto transactions denominated in currencies other than their localcurrency.  In the last two fiscal years the effect of exchange rate riskhas been favorable upon our operating results and financial condition.  Wedo not currently hedge any of the foreign exchange rate exposures.  Asignificant and rapid change in foreign exchange rates could have a materialadverse effect upon our results of operations.

**CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.**

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as definedin Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensurethat information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under theExchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timeperiods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information isaccumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief ExecutiveOfficer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosurecontrols and procedures, management recognized that any controls andprocedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide onlyreasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, andmanagement necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating thecost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision of andwith the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer andChief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation ofour disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2005, the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our ChiefExecutive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosurecontrols and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2005.

Further, management determined that, there have been nochanges in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined inRules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterended March 31, 2005 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely tomaterially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Management's  Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

Management of the Company is responsible for establishingand maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as suchterm is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to providereasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and thepreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.  However, all internalcontrol systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide onlyreasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation andreporting.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company'sinternal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee ofSponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in InternalControl-Integrated Framework.  Based on our assessment, management believesthat the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reportingas of March 31, 2005 based on those criteria.

Management's assessment of the effectiveness of theCompany's internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Ernst& Young, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as statedin their report appearing below, which expresses unqualified opinions onmanagement's assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company's internalcontrol over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005.

**on InternalControl Over Financial Reporting**

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of MentorCorporation

We have audited management's assessment, included in theaccompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,that Mentor Corporation (the "Company") maintained effective internal controlover financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).  TheCompany's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal controlover financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness ofinternal control over financial reporting.  Our responsibility is to express anopinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of thecompany's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

A company's internal control over financial reporting is aprocess designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for externalpurposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Acompany's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies andprocedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonabledetail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of theassets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions arerecorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts andexpenditures of the company are being made only in accordance withauthorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorizedacquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have amaterial effect on the financial statements.

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

In our opinion, management's assessment that MentorCorporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting asof March 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material aspects, based on the COSOcriteria.  Also, in our opinion, Mentor Corporation maintained, in all materialrespects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards ofthe Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidatedbalance sheets of Mentor Corporation as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 and related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flowsfor each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005 of Mentor Corporation and our report dated May 13, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinionthereon.

**MENTOR CORPORATIONNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2005**

**Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Business Activity**

Mentor Corporation (the"Company") was incorporated in April 1969.  Unless the contextindicates otherwise, when we refer to "Mentor," "we,""us," "our," or the "Company" in this Form 10-K,we are referring to Mentor Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidatedbasis.  We develop, manufacture and market a broad range of products servingthe medical specialties market.  Our products are utilized by three primarysegments, aesthetic and general surgery (plastic and reconstructive surgery),surgical urology, and clinical and consumer healthcare.  Aesthetic and generalsurgery products include surgically implantable prostheses for plastic andreconstructive surgery as well as capital equipment and consumables used forsoft tissue aspiration or body contouring (liposuction).  Surgical urologyproducts include surgically implantable prostheses for the treatment ofimpotence, surgically implantable incontinence products, urinary care productsand brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer.  Clinical andconsumer healthcare products include catheters and other products for themanagement of urinary incontinence and retention. 

**Principles of Consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements include the accountsof the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest ismaintained.  For those subsidiaries where the Company owns less than 100%,the outside shareholders' interests are treated as minority interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  Certainprior year amounts in previously issued financial statements have beenreclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

**Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities**

All highly liquid investments with maturities of threemonths or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

The Company considers its marketable securitiesavailable-for-sale as defined in SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for CertainInvestments in Debt and Equity Securities."  Realized gains andlosses and declines in value considered to be other than temporary are includedin income.  The cost of securities sold is based on the specificidentification method.  For short-term marketable securities, there wereno material realized or unrealized gains or losses, nor any materialdifferences between estimated fair values, based on quoted market prices, andthe costs of securities in the investment portfolio as of March 31, 2005 and 2004.  Short-term investments, except auction rate securities, mature betweenthree months and one year from the purchase date.  The Company's short-termmarketable securities consist primarily of money market mutual funds, U.S. state and municipal government and government agency obligations, Federal Home LoanBank and Mortgage Association bonds, auction rate securities, and investmentgrade corporate obligations, including commercial paper.  Auction ratesecurities carry interest or dividend rates that reset every 28 days, but havecontractual maturities of greater than one year. 

The Company had an investment in Paradigm Medical IndustriesInc., (Paradigm).  During fiscal 2003, Paradigm reported financial and operational difficulties andits quoted market prices decreased substantially during the year ended March 31, 2003 and we determined the decrease in market prices was more than temporary andrecorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $1,857,000 pre-tax in other income. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has no remaining investment in Paradigm.

**Concentrations and Credit Risk**

The Company obtains certain raw materials and components fora number of its products from single suppliers.  In most cases the Company'ssources of supply could be replaced if necessary without undue disruption, butit is possible that the process of qualifying new materials and/or vendors forcertain raw materials and components could cause a material interruption inmanufacturing or sales.  During fiscal 2004, our supply of palladiumbrachytherapy seeds was reduced after the termination of our supply agreementwith NASI in fiscal 2003.  No material interruptions in raw materialsupply occurred during fiscal 2005.

The Company grants credit terms in the normal course ofbusiness to its customers, primarily hospitals, doctors and distributors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjustscredit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current creditworthiness, as determined through review of their current creditinformation.  The Company continuously monitors collections and paymentsfrom customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimatedlosses resulting from the inability of its customers to make requiredpayments.  Estimated losses are based on historical experience and anyspecific customer collection issues identified.  Bad debts have beenminimal.  The Company does not normally require collateral or othersecurity to support credit sales.  No customer accounted for more than 10%of the Company's revenues or accounts receivable balance for any periodspresented.

 

 

55

**Revenue Recognition**

In the United States and in those countries where theCompany has sales offices, the Company employs specialized direct salesemployees.  The Company also markets its products through distributors inthose countries where it does not have a sales office or for certain products,particularly its disposable incontinence products, through a domestic networkof independent hospital supply dealers and healthcare distributors and throughretail pharmacies.

The Company recognizes product revenue, net of discounts,returns, and rebates in accordance with SFAS No. 48, "Revenue RecognitionWhen the Right of Return Exists," and SAB No. 104, "RevenueRecognition."  As required by these standards, revenue can berecorded when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery hasoccurred, the buyer's price is fixed or determinable, contractual obligationshave been satisfied, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Theserequirements are met, and sales and related cost of sales are recognizedprimarily upon the shipment of products, or in the case of consignmentinventories, upon the notification of usage by the customer.  The Companyrecords estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and othervolume-based incentives.  Should customer participation in these programsexceed that estimated by the Company, additional reductions to revenue may berequired.  The Company also allows credit for products returned within itspolicy terms.  The Company records an allowance for estimated returns,based on historical experience, recent gross sales levels and any notificationof pending returns, at the time of sale.  Should the actual returns exceedthose estimated by the Company, additional reductions to revenue and cost ofsales may be required. 

**Inventories**

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, costdetermined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.  TheCompany writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketableinventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and theestimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and marketconditions.

**Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciationis based on the useful lives of the properties and computed using thestraight-line method.  Buildings are depreciated over 30 years, furnitureand equipment over 3 to 10 years and leasehold improvements over the shorter oftheir estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years or lease term. Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized while maintenance andrepairs are charged to operations as incurred.

**Intangible Assets and Goodwill**

Intangible assets consist of values assigned to patents,licenses, trademarks and other intangibles.  These are stated at cost lessaccumulated amortization and are amortized over their economic useful liferanging from 3 to 20 years using the straight-line method.  Goodwill, theexcess purchase cost over fair value of net identifiable assets acquired, wasamortized using the straight-line method in fiscal year 2002.  Goodwillamortization was discontinued in fiscal 2003 in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  As required by SFAS No. 142, theCompany has reassessed the remaining amortization periods of intangible assetsacquired on or before June 30, 2001 and assigned all goodwill to reporting units for impairment testing.  The impairment tests involved the use ofboth estimates of fair value for the Company's reporting units as well asdiscounted cash flow assumptions.  If the book value exceeds the fairvalue, then the net book value would then be reduced to fair value based on anestimate of discounted cash flow.

**Income Taxes**

Deferred income taxes are provided on the temporarydifferences between income for financial statement and tax purposes.  TheCompany has not recorded a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets asmanagement believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred taxassets will be realized.

56

**Stock Based Compensation**

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Boardissued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R),"Share-Based Payment".  SFAS No. 123(R) will require the Company toaccount for our stock options using a fair-value-based method as described insuch statement and recognize the resulting compensation expense in ourfinancial statements.  The Company currently accounts for its employee stockoptions using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations, which generally resultsin no employee stock option expense.  The Company plans to adoptSFAS No. 123(R) as required on April 1, 2006.  Accordingly, the Company has provided pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share asdetermined under the provision of SFAS No. 123 in Note G - Stock Options.

**Advertising Expenses**

The Company expenses media advertising costs as incurred orwhere applicable, upon first showing.  Advertising expenses were $4.3million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003,respectively.  Capitalized advertising costs as of March 31, 2005, were $1.1 million and $0 as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 

**Foreign Operations**

Export sales to independent distributors, were $11.6 million,$9.9 million and $13.3 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Inaddition, $183.6 million, $160.5 million, and $124.9 million of net sales in2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were from the Company's direct internationalsales offices primarily in Canada and Western Europe.  Income beforeincome taxes for foreign operations was $16.1 million, $9.6 million and $7.2million for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

**Foreign Currency Translation**

The financial statements of the Company's non-U.S.subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52,"Foreign Currency Translation."  The assets and liabilities ofcertain non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than theU.S. Dollar are translated at current rates of exchange.  Revenue andexpense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly into accumulatedother comprehensive income (loss).  Transaction gains and losses, otherthan intercompany debt deemed to be of a long-term nature, are included in netincome in the period they occur.  

**Derivative Instruments**

The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedgingactivities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for DerivativeInstruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No. 133 requires allderivatives to be recorded as assets or liabilities at fair value. Changes in derivative fair values will either be recognized in earnings, offsetagainst changes in the fair value of the related hedged assets, liabilities andfirm commitments or, for forecasted transactions, recorded as a component ofaccumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity until the hedgetransactions occur and are recognized in earnings. 

**Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFASNo. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123(R)").  Statement123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-BasedCompensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued toEmployees.  Statement 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensationarrangements and requires that the compensation cost related to these types ofpayment transactions be recognized in financial statements.  Cost will bemeasured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

 

57

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") which providesguidance regarding the application of SFAS 123(R).  SAB 107 expresses views ofthe Staff regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R), Share-BasedPayment, and certain SEC rules and regulations, and provides the Staff's viewsregarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for publiccompanies.  In particular, SAB 107 provides guidance related to share-basedpayment transactions with nonemployees, the transition from nonpublic to publicentity status, valuation methods (including assumptions such as expectedvolatility and expected term), the accounting for certain redeemable financialinstruments issued under share-based payment arrangements, the classificationof compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measures, first-time adoption ofSFAS 123(R) in an interim period, capitalization of compensation cost relatedto share-based payment arrangements, the accounting for income tax effects ofshare-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), the modificationof employee share options prior to adoption of SFAS 123(R), and disclosures inManagement's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") subsequent to adoption ofSFAS 123(R).

On April 14, 2005, the SEC approved a new rule that delaysthe effective date for SFAS 123(R) to annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, thereby rendering it effective as to the Company on April 1, 2006.  The adoption of SFAS 123(R) on April 1, 2006 is expected to have a material impact onthe Company's consolidated net income and earnings per share.  The Company hasnot completed its analysis of the impact of the adoption of 123(R); however,the effect of the adoption is estimated to approximate that shown in Note G -Stock Options.

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting StandardsBoard (FASB) issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, which amends theguidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing.  This amendment clarifiesthe accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handlingcosts and wasted material (spoilage).  This Statement requires that those itemsbe recognized as current-period charges, regardless of whether they meet thecriteria specified in ARB 43 of "so abnormal".  In addition, this Statementrequires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs ofconversion be based on normal capacity of the production facilities.  ThisStatement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginningafter June 15, 2005.  The impact upon adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expectedto have a material impact on the results of operations or the financialposition of the Company. 

In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) confirmed Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-8, "TheEffect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share,"with an effective date of December 15, 2004. The EITF reflects the TaskForce's conclusion that contingently convertible debt should be included indiluted earnings per share calculations, regardless of whether or not thetrigger price has been reached.  The Company adopted EITF 04-8 in the quarterended December 31, 2004 and retroactively restated the weighted average sharesoutstanding for diluted earnings per share for the previously reported periodsaffected due to our December 2003 issuance of convertible subordinated notes.  Theimpact of the EITF changed the diluted earnings per share calculation byincreasing net income used in the numerator by the after tax amount of interestexpense related to the convertible notes (approximately $802,000 per quarter),and by increasing weighted average shares outstanding used in the denominatorby approximately 5.1 million shares; the number of shares to be issued uponfull conversion of the convertible notes.  The effect of the restatement was a decreasein diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.02 cents per share for thefirst and second quarters of fiscal 2005, and approximately $0.02 for theperiod the notes were outstanding in fiscal 2004.  

In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) approved the consensus reached on the EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaningof Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to CertainInvestments."  The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance foridentifying impaired investments.  EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosurerequirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired.  Theaccounting provisions of EITF 03-1 are effective for all reporting periodsbeginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements are effectiveonly for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004.  The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of EITF 03-1 and does not believe it will besignificant to its results of operations or financial position.

**Stock Split**

On December 13, 2002 the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend to be distributedon or about January 17, 2003 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2002.  All references in the financial statements to number of shares, per shareamounts and market prices of the Company's common stock have been retroactivelyrestated to reflect the increased number of common shares outstanding.

**Note F - Short-Term Bank Borrowings**

Outstanding borrowings under all credit arrangements had aweighted-average interest rate of 5.42% and 3.58% at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  A total of $10.9 million was available under the foreignlines of credit at March 31, 2005 and $28.1 million was available under the$25M Credit Agreement and the foreign lines of credit at March 31, 2004.  The Company's $25M Credit Agreement expired in September 2004 and a new creditagreement was entered into on May 26, 2005, subsequent to year-end.  See Note T- "Subsequent Event (Unaudited) - Credit Agreement" in the Notes to theFinancial Statements. 

**Credit Agreement**

As of March 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company had a securedline of credit ("$25M Credit Agreement") for borrowings up to $25million, which accrued interest at the prevailing prime rate or at 1.75% overLIBOR, at the Company's discretion.  The $25M Credit Agreement included certaincovenants that, among others, limited the dividends the Company could pay and requiredmaintenance of certain levels of tangible net worth and debt serviceratios.  Two letters of credit totaling $1.3 million were outstanding at March 31, 2004, which reduced the amount available under the $25M Credit Agreement. Accordingly, although there were no borrowings outstanding under the $25MCredit Agreement at March 31, 2004, only $23.7 million was available foradditional borrowings.  The $25M Credit Agreement expired in September 2004.

**Foreign Lines of Credit**

In addition, in February 2001, several lines of credit wereestablished at a local level to facilitate operating cash flow needs at ourforeign subsidiaries.  These lines are at market rates of interest,unsecured, guaranteed by us and totaled $7.4 million and $6.9 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Total borrowed and outstanding under theselines were $2.2 million and $4.5 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The amount available for additional borrowing was $5.2 million and$2.4 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 

 

60

In fiscal year 2002, a line of credit of $6.7 million wasestablished to finance the construction of a new facility in Leiden, the Netherlands.  Upon completion, the line of credit was converted to a revolvingfacility.  The borrowings accrue interest at EURIBOR plus 0.75% and are securedby the new facility and other assets in The Netherlands.  Total borrowedand outstanding under this line was $1.0 million and $5.5 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The amounts available for additional borrowingwere $5.7 million and $2.0 million, at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Stock option exercise prices are set at the closing price ofthe Company's common stock on the date of grant and the related number ofshares granted is fixed at that point in time.  Therefore, under theprinciples of APB Opinion 25, the Company does not recognize compensationexpense associated with the grant of stock options.  SFAS 123 requires theuse of an option valuation model to provide supplemental information regardingoptions granted after fiscal 1995.  Pro forma information regarding netincome and earnings per share shown below were determined as if the Company hadaccounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of thatstatement.

The weighted average fair values of stock options grantedwere estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuationmodel and the following assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed foruse in estimating the fair value of traded options.  The Company'semployee stock options have characteristics significantly different from thoseof traded options such as vesting restrictions and extremely limitedtransferability.  In addition, the assumptions used in option valuationmodels are highly subjective, particularly the expected stock price volatilityof the underlying stock.  Because changes in these subjective inputassumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management'sopinion, the existing models do not provide a reliable single measure of thefair value of its employee stock options. 

For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fairvalue of the options is amortized ratably over the option's vestingperiod.  The pro forma effect on net income may not be representative ofthe pro forma effect on net income in future years because compensation expensein future years will reflect the amortization of a different number of stockoptions granted in succeeding years, at different fair values.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Boardissued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R),"Share-Based Payment". SFAS No. 123(R) will require the Company toaccount for its stock options using a fair-value-based method as described insuch statement and recognize the resulting compensation expense in ourfinancial statements.  The Company currently accounts for its employee stockoptions using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations, which generally resultsin no employee stock option expense.  The Company plans to adoptSFAS No. 123(R) on April 1, 2006, as required.

We do notprovide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreignoperations that are intended to be invested indefinitely outside the United States. At March 31, 2005, these foreign earnings amounted to approximately $34.5million.  If repatriated, additional taxes of approximately $12.4 million onthese earnings would be due, based on the current tax rates in effect.  For theyears ended March 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 foreign income before taxes were$13.8 million, $6.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively.  

On October 22, 2004, the President of the United States signed the American Jobs Creation Actof 2004 (AJCA).  The AJCA created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percentdividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreigncorporations.  The deduction is subject to a number of limitations.  Further,uncertainty remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the AJCA andadditional technical clarification is expected to be issued.  As such, theCompany is currently evaluating the effects of the repatriation provisions andour fiscal 2005 results of operations do not reflect any impact relating tosuch repatriation provisions.  For fiscal 2006 the Company is consideringrepatriation of up to $25.0 million in foreign profits, and the Company estimatesthe tax liability on the $25.0 million to be approximately $1.5 to $2.0million. 

**Note I - Intangible Assets and Goodwill**

In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill andOther Intangible Assets".  SFAS No. 142 was effective for the Companyas of April 1, 2002.  SFAS No. 142 specifies the financial accounting andreporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.  Goodwill andintangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are no longer to beamortized, but rather are to be tested for impairment annually or morefrequently if impairment indicators arise.  None of the Company'sintangible assets have an indefinite life.  Intangible assets with finitelives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over their usefullives.  Goodwill and intangible assets have been recorded at eitherincurred or allocated cost.  Allocated costs were based on respective fairvalues at the date of acquisition.  

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company reassessedthe remaining amortization periods of intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001, and assigned all goodwill to reporting units for impairment testing. The impairment tests involve the use of both estimates of fair value for theCompany's reporting units as well as discounted cash flow assumptions. Impairment tests were performed at adoption and in the fourth quarter of fiscalyears 2003 and 2004 and no impairment was noted on a result of these analyses.  Inthe fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company performed impairment testing anddetermined that certain intangible assets primarily related to surgical urologyhad fair values less than their respective book values and were deemedimpaired.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a net impairment charge for theimpairment of long-lived assets of $3.2 million.

In thequarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company determined that certain purchaseprice payments to South Bay Medical LLC related to future sales of IsoloaderTM workstationswere no longer probable, and accordingly, reduced the liabilities captioned"current portion of purchase price related to acquired technologies andacquisitions" and "long-term accrued liabilities" by a total of approximately$10.4 million.  This determination was considered a potential impairmentindicator and the Company also reduced the value of the patents andtechnologies related to the workstations based on future expected sales levelsby $10.4 million.  The combined adjustments had no effect on net income.

Upon adoption of SFAS 142 we identified four reportingunits: aesthetics, body contouring, surgical urology, and clinical and consumerhealthcare.  Goodwill is the result of acquisitions directly benefitingonly one of the four reporting units of the Company.  That goodwillresides completely within that reporting unit, and accordingly the goodwill wasassigned to the reporting units based upon specific identification.

1  Diluted earnings per share and weighted average  shares outstanding the year ended March 31, 2004 have been restated to reflect the additional shares that would be issued upon conversion of the Company's 23⁄4%  convertible notes, in accordance with the adoption of Emerging Issue Task  Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-8.

Employee stock options

Shares issuable under the Company's employee stock optionplans that have exercise prices in excess of the average price per share duringthe period are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation using thetreasury stock method.  Options to purchase 24,666, 10,175 and 1,089,478shares with exercise prices greater than the average market prices of commonstock were outstanding during the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  These options were excluded from the respective computationsof diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Convertible subordinated notes and warrants

The terms of the Company's convertible subordinated notesinclude restrictions which prevent the holder from converting the notes until theCompany's share price exceeds the 120% Conversion Price on 20 trading days ofthe 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the first day of such fiscalquarter.  However, EITF issue No. 04-8 requires that the Company use theif-converted method to determine the dilutive impact of the convertiblesubordinated notes described below in Note L.  Under the if-converted method,the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is increased by theafter-tax interest expense avoided for the period upon conversion and thedenominator of the calculation is increased by approximately 5.1 million sharespotentially issued upon conversion for both that current reporting period andthe corresponding year-to-date reporting period.

 

67

As described below in Note L, we purchased aconvertible note hedge and sold warrants which, in combination, have the effectof reducing the dilutive impact of the convertible subordinated notes byincreasing the effective conversion price for the notes from the Company's perspectiveto approximately $39.43.  SFAS 128, however, requires the Company toanalyze the impact of the convertible note hedge and warrants on diluted EPSseparately.  As a result, the purchase of the convertible note hedge isexcluded because its impact will always be anti-dilutive.  SFAS 128 furtherrequires that the impact of the sale of the warrants be computed using thetreasury stock method.  For example, using the treasury stock method, if theaverage price of the Company's stock during the period ended March 31, 2005 had been $38.00, $40.00 or $45.00, the shares from the warrants to beincluded in diluted EPS would have been zero, and approximately 400,000 and approximately900,000 shares, respectively.  The total maximum number of shares that couldpotentially be included under the warrants is 5.1 million.  Since the averageshare price of the Company's stock during the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 did not exceed the conversion price of warrants, $39.43, there was no impactof these warrants on diluted shares or diluted EPS during that period. 

**Note L - Long-Term Debt**

On December 22, 2003, the Company completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due January 1, 2024 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notes bear interestat 23⁄4% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company's common stockat an initial conversion price of $29.289 per share and are subordinated to allexisting and future senior debt. 

Holders of the notes may convert their notes only if any ofthe following conditions is satisfied: 
-  during anyfiscal quarter prior to January 1, 2019, if the closing price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading dayperiod ending on the first trading day of such fiscal quarter is more than 120%of the conversion price per share of the Company's common stock on such tradingday;
-  any business dayon or after January 1, 2019, if the closing price of the Company's common stockon the immediately preceding trading day is more than 120% of the conversionprice per share of the Company's common stock on such trading day; 
-  during the fivebusiness day period after any five consecutive trading day period if theaverage of the trading prices of the notes for such five consecutive tradingday period is less than 98% of the average of the conversion values of thenotes during such period, subject to certain limitations;
-  if the Companyhas called the notes for redemption; or
-  if the Companymakes certain significant distributions to holders of its common stock or theCompany enters into specified corporate transactions. 

At an initial conversion price of $29.289, each $1,000principle amount of notes will be convertible into 34.1425 shares of commonstock.  As a result of the Company's recent dividend increase the conversionprice has been adjusted to $29.25, and each $1,000 principle amount will beconvertible into 34.1880 shares of common stock.

Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible subordinatednotes, the Company entered into a convertible note hedge and a warrantstransaction with respect to its common stock, the exposure for which is held byCredit Suisse First Boston LLC.  Both the note hedge and the warrantstransaction may be settled at the Company's option either in cash or shares andexpire January 1, 2009.  The convertible note hedge and warrants transactionscombined are intended to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of thenotes by effectively increasing the initial conversion price per share from theCompany's perspective to approximately $39.43.  The cost of the note hedge andthe proceeds of warrants sale have been included in shareholders' equity inaccordance with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in aCompany's own Stock."  Any proceeds received or payments made upontermination of these instruments will be recorded in shareholders' equity.

**Note M - Share Repurchase Program**
The Company has a stock repurchase program to provideliquidity to the market and to reduce the overall number of shares outstanding,which has helped offset the dilutive effects of our employee stock optionprogram (Long-Term Incentive Plan) and the dilutive effect of EITF Issue No.04-8 related to the inclusion of contingently convertible debt in fully dilutedearnings per share calculations.  All shares repurchased under the program areretired and are no longer deemed to be outstanding.  At March 31, 2003, 1.8 million shares remained authorized for repurchase under prior year's Board ofDirectors authorization.  On July 31, 2003 the Board of Directors increased theauthorized number of shares to be repurchased from 1.8 million to 4.0 millionshares.  On December 5, 2003, the Board of Directors increased the authorizednumber of shares to be repurchased by 5.0 million shares from 2.5 million to7.5 million shares.  During fiscal 2004, 5.4 million shares were repurchasedfor $135.8 million and 3.6 million shares remained authorized for repurchase asof March 31, 2004.  During fiscal 2005, 2.3 million shares were repurchased for$79.8 million and 1.3 million shares remained authorized for repurchase as of March 31, 2005.  See Note O - Related Party Transactions for additional information on theshare repurchase.  The timing of repurchases is subject to market conditions,cash availability, and blackout periods during which the Company is restrictedfrom repurchasing shares.  There is no guarantee that the remaining sharesauthorized for repurchase by the Board will ultimately be repurchased.  The Company'sCredit Agreement entered into on May 26, 2005 limits future stock repurchases.

**Note N - Commitments**

The Company leases certain facilities under non-cancelableoperating leases with unexpired terms ranging from 1 to 21 years.  Most leases contain renewal options.  Rental expense for these leases was$5.9 million, $5.1 million and $4.5 million for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003,respectively.

**Note P - Contingencies**

Warranty and product liability claims are a regular andongoing aspect of the medical device industry.  At any one time, theCompany is subject to claims against it and is involved in litigation. These actions can be brought by an individual, or by a group of patientspurported to be a class action.  The Company carries product liabilityinsurance on all its products, except silicone gel-filled implants, which in the  United States are only available through a controlled clinical study. This insurance is subject to certain self-insured retention and other limits ofthe policy, exclusions and deductibles that the Company believes to beappropriate.  

In addition, the Company also offers warranty coverage onsome of its products.  The Company provides an accrual for the estimatedcost of product warranties and product liability claims at the time revenue isrecognized.  Such accruals are based on estimates, which are based onrelevant factors such as historical experience, the warranty period, estimatedcosts, levels of insurance and insurance retentions, identified product qualityissues, if any, and to a limited extent, information developed by the insurancecompany using actuarial techniques.  The Company assesses the adequacy ofthese accruals periodically and adjusts the amounts as necessary based onactual experience and changes in future expectations.  While the Companyengages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including activelymonitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the warrantyobligation is affected by reported rates of product problems as well as thecosts incurred in correcting product problems.  The Company has recordedwarranty and related reserves of $25.7 million, $23.4 million and $20.0 millionat March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to cover the cost ofanticipated warranty and product liability claims.

**Note T - Subsequent Event (Unaudited) - Credit Agreement**

Subsequent to year end, on May 26, 2005, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") thatprovides a $200 million senior revolving credit facility, subject to a $20million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit,a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and $50 million alternativecurrency sublimit.  The Credit Agreement expires on September 30, 2008.  At the election of the Company, the amount available for borrowings under theCredit Agreement may be increased by an additional $50 million.  Funds underthe Credit Agreement are available to the Company for to finance permittedacquisitions, stock repurchases up to certain dollar limitations and othergeneral corporate purposes.  As of June 14th 2005 there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. 

** **

73

Interest on borrowings(other than swing line loans) under the Credit Agreement is a variable ratethat is calculated, at the Company's option, at either prime rate, or LIBORplus an additional percentage that varies depending on the Company's seniorleverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the time of theborrowing.  Swing line loans bear interest at the Prime Rate plus additionalbasis points depending on the Company's senior leverage ratio at the time ofthe loan.  In addition, the Company paid certain fees to the lenders toinitiate the Credit Agreement and will pay an unused commitment fee based on theCompany's senior leverage ratio and unborrowed lender commitments.

Borrowings under the CreditAgreement are guaranteed by two of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and arealso secured by a pledge of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of two otherdomestic subsidiaries and by 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our Frenchsubsidiary.  In addition, if the ratio of total funded debt to adjusted EBITDAexceeds 2.50 to 1.00, then the Company is obligated to grant to the lenders afirst priority perfected security interest the essentially all domestic assets.

The Credit Agreementimposes certain financial and operational restrictions on the Company and itssubsidiaries, including financial covenants that require the Company tomaintain a maximum consolidated funded debt leverage ratio of not greater than4.00 to 1.00, a senior funded debt ratio of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00,minimum quarterly EBITDA and a minimum fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.25to 1.00.  The covenants also restrict the Company's ability, among otherthings, to make certain investments, incur certain types of indebtedness or liens,make acquisitions in excess of $20 million except in compliance with certaincriteria, and repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or dispose ofassets above specified thresholds.  The Credit Agreement also containscustomary events of default, including payment defaults, material inaccuraciesin its representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy andinvoluntary proceedings, monetary judgment defaults in excess of specifiedamounts, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, change of control, andERISA defaults.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing, thecommitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and the principalamount and all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereundermay be declared immediately due and payable.
