Highlight of Business Operations:

Sales for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012 were $189.7 million , an increase of $6.5 million (3.5%) compared to sales of $183.2 million in the same period a year ago with increases in our Arthroscopy and Endoscopic Technologies product lines. The distribution agreement with Musculoskeletal Tissue Foundation (“MTF”) accounted for a 3.9% quarterly sales increase offset by decreases in our Powered Instruments, Endosurgery, Electrosurgery and Patient Care product lines. In local currency, excluding the effects of the hedging program, sales increased 3.8%. Sales of capital equipment decreased $4.3 million (-10.7%) to $35.8 million in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012 from $40.1 million in the same period a year ago; sales of single-use products increased $10.8 million (7.5%) to $153.9 million in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012 from $143.1 million in the same period a year ago. On a local currency basis, excluding the effects of our hedging program, sales of capital equipment decreased 10.3% while single-use products increased 7.8%. We believe the overall decline in capital sales is driven by capital purchasing constraints in hospitals due to the depressed economic conditions.

On a local currency basis, excluding the effects of the hedging program, sales of capital equipment remained flat while single-use products increased 18.6%.

Arthroscopy sales increased $21.2 million (14.5%) in the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $167.2 million from $146.0 million in the same period a year ago mainly due to the distribution agreement with MTF and higher procedure specific product sales offset by lower sales of our video imaging products for arthroscopy and general surgery. The distribution agreement with MTF accounted for 10.0% of the 14.5% increase. In local currency, excluding the effects of the hedging program, sales increased 14.3%. Sales of capital equipment decreased $0.4 million (-1.3%) to $30.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $30.9 million in the same period a year ago; sales of single-use products increased $21.6 million (18.8%) to $136.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $115.1 million in the same period a year ago.

Powered surgical instrument sales decreased $1.1 million (-2.9%) in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012 to $37.2 million from $38.3 million in the same period a year ago mainly due to lower sales of our large bone hand piece products.

On a local currency basis, excluding the effects of the hedging program, sales of capital equipment decreased 11.7% and single-use products increased 5.9%. We believe the overall decline in capital sales is due to a very strong performance in the second quarter of 2011 making for a difficult comparison to sales in 2012.
