Highlight of Business Operations:

Subject to the terms of the Stryker Agreement, Stryker agreed to pay us a prepayment of $5 million, of which we received $2.5 million at signing and $2.5 million is due on or before March 31, 2011. The initial $2.5 million was recorded as an advance from customer in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2010. We will apply the payment to amounts due from Stryker for purchases of scopes and EndoSheath technology and recognize the associated revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy until the $5 million is exhausted. Stryker will thereafter continue to pay us for products supplied. The purchase price for the products will be based on our cost to manufacture plus a margin specified in the Stryker Agreement. There is no required minimum amount of scopes and EndoSheath products which Stryker is required to purchase from us. There can be no assurance that they will purchase an amount of products in order for us to retain all or any portion of the prepayment or that we will not be required to refund all or a portion of the prepayments to Stryker. If we are required to refund any amounts paid to us, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

A portion of the Additional Warrant Shares has vested on the date of the $2.5 million Advance on March 29, 2010 and the $2.0 million Advance on June 29, 2010.
