Part I — Financial Information

Item 1. Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Bausch & Lomb Incorporated and Consolidated Subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies stated in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K) and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements appearing therein, and are based in part on approximations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been included in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The Company filed its 2005 Form 10-K on February 7, 2007. As more fully described in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 2 — Restatement of the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K, Bausch & Lomb restated its consolidated balance sheet, its consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows as of December 25, 2004 and for the fiscal years 2003 and 2004. In addition, the Company restated selected financial data as of 2003, 2002 and 2001 and for fiscal years 2002 and 2001. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 22 — Quarterly Results, Stock Prices and Selected Financial Data (Unaudited) of the 2005 Form 10-K and beginning shareholders' equity for the impact of the restatement for periods prior to 2001. The impact of the restated financial results for the first and second quarterly periods of 2005 and the quarterly periods of 2004 are also presented in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 22 — Quarterly Results, Stock Prices and Selected Financial Data (Unaudited) of the 2005 Form 10-K.

The restatement corrected for errors made in the application of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including revenue recognition, accounting for reserves, accounting for foreign currency adjustments, accounting for income taxes including income taxes payable, tax reserves, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, related valuation allowances and income tax expense, and the accounting for the Company's Long-Term Deferred Compensation Plan. For a discussion of the significant restatement adjustments and the background leading to these adjustments, see Item 8.

3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Common and Class B shares outstanding during a period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of dilutive stock. In computing the per share effect of assumed conversion, funds which would have been received from the exercise of options were considered to have been used to repurchase Common shares at average market prices for the period, and the resulting net additional Common shares are included in the calculation of average Common shares outstanding.

In a given period there may be outstanding stock options considered anti-dilutive as the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of Common shares during that period and, therefore, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006, anti-dilutive stock options to purchase 2.8 million and 1.8 million shares of Common stock, respectively, with exercise prices ranging from $50.94 to $83.55 and $59.76 to $83.55, respectively, were outstanding. For the quarter ended June 25, 2005, there were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding. For the six months ended June 25, 2005, anti-dilutive stock options to purchase 0.5 million shares of Common stock at exercise prices ranging from $72.97 to $74.34 were outstanding.

In December 2004, the Company completed its offer to exchange up to $160.0 variable-rate Convertible Senior Notes (Old Notes) due in 2023 for an equal amount of its 2004 Senior Convertible Securities due 2023 (New Securities). The terms of the New Securities are consistent with those of the Old Notes except that settlement upon conversion of the New Securities will be paid in cash up to the principal amount of the converted New Securities with any excess of the conversion value settled in shares of the Company's stock. An amount equal to $155.9 of the Old Notes, or 97.4 percent of the outstanding issue, was tendered in exchange for an equal amount of the New Securities. The conversion right was triggered on June 17, 2005, and the Old Notes and New Securities were convertible at the option of the holder beginning July 1, 2005. See the 2006 Form 10-K for further discussion.

The impact to results of operations from the Old Notes on the diluted earnings per share calculation was an adjustment of approximately $0.1 to results of operations for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 2006 and June 25, 2005, representing the interest and amortization expense attributed to the remaining Old Notes. The effects of the Old Notes and the New Securities on dilutive shares for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 2006 and June 25, 2005 are reflected in the table below.

The following table summarizes the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Second Quarter Ended					Six Months Ended

Effect of Convertible Senior Notes Shares		67			67		67			67
Effect of 2004 Senior Convertible Securities Shares		-			473		-			398

Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding ¹		54,849			55,714		55,326			55,491

Basic (Loss) Earnings Per Share	$	(0.28	)	$	0.70	$	(0.06	)	$	1.34

Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share	$	(0.28	)	$	0.67	$	(0.06	)	$	1.27

¹	As a result of the net loss presented for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006, the Company calculates diluted earnings per share using weighted average basic shares outstanding for each period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.

4. Employee Stock Plans

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its standard on accounting for share-based payments, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), which establishes the accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value of the award. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is based on the fair value of the award measured on the grant date, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period. The Company previously applied the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related Interpretations as allowed under SFAS No. 123. Under the intrinsic value method, no share-based compensation cost related to stock options had been recognized in the Company’s Statements of Operations, as the exercise price was equal to the market value of the Company’s Common stock on the grant date. As a result, the recognition of share-based compensation cost was generally limited to the expense attributed to restricted stock awards, performance awards and stock option modifications. SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25.

As permitted by SFAS No. 123(R), the Company elected to apply the modified prospective transition method upon adoption in which compensation cost is recognized beginning on January 1, 2006 for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006 and for all awards previously granted that remained unvested on that date. Compensation cost related to the unvested portion of previously granted awards is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Compensation cost for awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company estimates the grant-date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Black-Scholes option pricing model was also used in estimating the grant-date fair values in developing the Company’s pro forma disclosure information required under SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based payment awards that will ultimately vest. The Company’s estimates are based on historical forfeiture data. The estimated forfeiture rate will be adjusted if actual forfeitures differ from its original estimates. The effect of any change in estimated forfeitures would be recognized as an adjustment to compensation cost recognized in the period of the change in estimate. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Statements of Operations for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, was taken into consideration with the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R).

Page 10

On December 22, 2005, the Company announced that certain prior-period financial statements of the Company were required to be restated and could not be relied upon. As a result, the Company determined that certain registration statements relating to the Company’s long-term incentive plans, or prospectuses related to such plans, were no longer current and would not be considered current until the Company was current with its SEC periodic filings. Accordingly, pursuant to the plans, the Company imposed certain restrictions on issuing share-based compensation awards and the exercise of previously issued stock awards, except for transactions which could be exempted under Federal Securities law, until such registration statements are current. During the first six months of 2006, the Company granted a total of 16,000 stock options to new hires.

Share-based compensation cost recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the six months ended July 1, 2006 was $2.0 and included $5.8 of expense associated with stock options and $1.6 of expense related to time-based restricted stock awards offset by $5.4 of mark-to-market adjustments associated with the Company's Restricted Stock Deferred Compensation Plan. In May 2006, the Company amended this Plan requiring all future distributions of participant deferrals of stock awards be settled only in shares of Company stock, eliminating the sole option of the Company to settle in cash, and thereby eliminating the requirement under GAAP to recognize subsequent changes in the fair value of Company stock. Of the $5.8 of stock option expense, $4.6, $0.9 and $0.3 was recorded in selling, administrative and general expenses, research and development and cost of products sold, respectively. Expense associated with time-based restricted stock and the mark-to-market adjustments was recorded in selling, administrative and general expenses. There was no compensation cost capitalized to assets. Compensation cost was included in operating activities on the Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 1, 2006.

The compensation cost associated with stock options in 2006 was mainly comprised of compensation cost related to the unvested portion of previously granted awards as of January 1, 2006 since the Company delayed its annual grant due to the previously described restrictions imposed on share-based compensation awards. Previously, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company calculated compensation cost for the purpose of pro forma disclosure using a graded-vesting attribution method. Under that method, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award. The Company continues to apply the graded-vesting method in recognizing compensation cost associated with outstanding unvested awards as of January 1, 2006. As permitted by SFAS No. 123(R), the Company has elected to recognize compensation cost evenly over the vesting period using the straight-line attribution method for awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. This FSP provides an elective alternative transition method related to accounting for the tax effects of share-based payments to employees which is different from the transition method prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R). The alternative method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of additional paid-in capital related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation (the APIC pool), and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and the Company’s Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee share-based compensation awards that were outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in this FSP for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R).

The Company applies a tax law ordering approach in determining its intraperiod allocation of tax expense or benefit attributable to share-based compensation deductions. The Company incurred a U.S. net operating loss for 2006 and, therefore, no U.S. tax expense or benefit related to U.S. share-based compensation deductions was allocated to additional paid-in capital for the first and second quarters of 2006. The share-based compensation deductions related to foreign affiliates for 2006 and the related allocation of tax benefits to additional paid-in capital were immaterial.

Share-based compensation expense increased (reduced) the Company’s results of operations for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006 as follows:

Amounts in millions, except per share data	For the Second Quarter Ended July 1, 2006		For the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006
Operating income	$	1.0	$	(2.0	)
Net income (loss)		1.0		(2.0	)
Basic earnings (loss) per share		0.02		(0.04	)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.02	$	(0.04	)

Page 11

The effect on net income and earnings per share for the second quarter and six months ended June 25, 2005 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure was as follows:

Amounts in millions, except per share data	(Restated) For the Second Quarter Ended June 25, 2005			(Restated) For the Six Months Ended June 25, 2005
Net income	$	37.3		$	70.6
Add: Share-based compensation expense included in reported net income, net of tax ^1,2		2.0			4.7
Deduct: Total share-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of tax ^{1, 2}		(5.4	)		(11.5	)

¹	Amounts reflect mark-to-market adjustments associated with the Company's Restricted Stock Deferred Compensation Plan.

²	Net of tax amounts were calculated using the combined U.S. Federal and State statutory rate of 38.3 percent.

2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan

The 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2003 Plan) was approved by the shareholders of the Company on April 29, 2003 and will terminate on April 29, 2013. Under this plan, a total of 6,000,000 shares were authorized for issuance, of which no more than 1,800,000 shares may be issued pursuant to awards other than options and stock appreciation rights. Any employee or non-employee director is eligible to participate under the plan. Any shares issued may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market or otherwise. The Company typically utilizes proceeds from stock option exercises to repurchase shares (pursuant to its authorized purchase programs) to partially offset the dilutive impact of stock option exercise activity. Stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards and other stock unit awards may be granted under such plan. As of July 1, 2006, the Company had issued stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based stock units under the plan.

Prior to the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company provided shares available for grant in each calendar year, equal to three percent of the total number of outstanding shares of Common stock as of the first day of each such year, under its Stock Incentive Plan, which had an evergreen provision. In October 2002, the Company's Board of Directors amended the plan to eliminate the evergreen feature and provide a pool of 1,600,000 shares to be available for future grants. As of the adoption of the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan on April 29, 2003, no additional shares will be issued under this plan.

The Company had also adopted a stock incentive plan for non-officers effective January 22, 2001. The number of shares available for grant each year was no greater than two percent of the total number of outstanding shares of Common stock as of the first day of each such year. Options and awards under this plan were granted only to employees of the Company or any subsidiary corporation of the Company who were neither officers nor directors of the Company. Effective January 1, 2003, no additional shares will be issued under this plan.

Page 12

Stock Options The Company has granted non-qualified and incentive stock options under the plans discussed above. These options typically vest ratably over three years for employee options and 100 percent after one year for non-employee director options, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Vesting is contingent upon a continued employment relationship with the Company. There are no accelerated terms for retirement-eligible employees upon retirement. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s Common stock (weighted 80 percent) and implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s Common stock (weighted 20 percent). The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life. Expected dividend yield is based on the Company's annual dividend divided by the exercise price.

¹ NM denotes “not meaningful”. Intrinsic value is less than $0.1

Proceeds received from the exercise of 1,825 stock options for the six months ended July 1, 2006 were less than $0.1 and immaterial to the Statement of Cash Flows. Proceeds received from exercise of approximately 1.0 million stock options for the six months ended June 25, 2005 were $43.8, which were included in financing activities on the Statement of Cash Flows.

The following weighted average assumptions were used for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006:

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested stock options as of July 1, 2006 and changes during the six months ended July 1, 2006 is presented below:

Nonvested Options	Number of Options (000s)			Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested options at December 31, 2005		2,024		$	19.84
Granted		16			18.40

Forfeited and canceled		(40	)		21.84
Nonvested options at July 1, 2006		940		$	22.56

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the Company’s plans as of July 1, 2006 was $6.8 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

Restricted Stock The Company issues restricted stock awards to officers and other key personnel. These awards have vesting periods up to seven years with vesting criteria based on continued employment until applicable vesting dates and, prior to 2005, on the attainment of specific performance goals such as average sales and cumulative earnings per share targets. Compensation expense is recorded based on applicable vesting criteria and, for awards prior to 2005 with performance goals, as such goals are met. The following tables summarize activity related to restricted stock:

Nonvested Restricted Shares	Numbers of Shares (000s)			Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested restricted shares at December 31, 2005		288		$	52.37
Granted		13			66.37
Vested		(1	)		33.59
Forfeited and canceled		(1	)		83.55

Weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards granted per share	$	66.37	$	71.69
Total fair value of restricted stock awards vested	$	0.1	$	3.8

As a result of the previously discussed restrictions on the Company's ability to issue share-based compensation awards, restricted stock awards were granted only to new hires and a limited number of key employees pursuant to exemptions under Federal Securities law. Compensation cost related to restricted stock awards during the six months ended July 1, 2006 was $1.6 offset by $5.4 of mark-to-market adjustments associated with the Company's Long-Term Deferred Compensation Plan. Compensation cost related to restricted stock awards during the first six months ended June 25, 2005 was $7.7. Unrecognized compensation cost at July 1, 2006 was $8.0 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Performance Awards

The Company issues performance-unit or performance-share awards to its corporate officers and other key executives selected by the Company’s CEO. Performance awards vest 50 percent upon completion of a performance cycle and 50 percent on the first anniversary of completion of a performance cycle. Performance cycles are typically two years, with a new cycle beginning upon completion of the prior cycle. Performance awards are paid in cash or shares on the attainment of vesting criteria and specific performance measures such as average sales growth and return on invested capital. For the 2004-2005-performance period, cash–denominated awards were granted in 2004 with a total value for the two-year cycle of $9.5. In 2005, additional awards were granted to newly hired officers for a one-year cycle valued at approximately $0.3. During 2004, performance-share awards of 1,800 were granted to newly hired employees with average market values of $52.79. No performance awards were granted during 2006 in accordance with the previously discussed restrictions concerning share-based compensation. Additional disclosures have not been provided due to the immaterial amount of activity associated with performance awards during fiscal years 2005 and 2006.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has a stock purchase plan for all eligible employees. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the terms of the Plan do not give rise to recognizable compensation cost, that is, the Plan is noncompensatory as the terms of the Plan are no more favorable than those available to all holders of the same class of shares. Shares of the Company’s Common stock may be purchased by employees at the market price on the first business day of the month.

5. Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision and effective tax rate are as follows:

	Second Quarter Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 1, 2006			(Restated) June 25, 2005			July 1, 2006			(Restated) June 25, 2005
Income before income taxes and minority interest	$	2.1		$	63.3		$	26.5		$	111.2
Provision for income taxes		18.2			25.2			30.2			38.5
Effective tax rate		866.7	%		39.8	%		114.0	%		34.6	%

The difference between the 2006 second quarter effective tax rate of 866.7 percent and the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent is primarily attributable to losses generated within the United States for which the Company did not record a corresponding tax benefit, interest on tax reserves accrued in prior years, and the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

The difference between the 2005 second quarter effective tax rate of 39.8 percent and the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent is primarily attributable to a discrete tax charge relating to tax rate changes, and the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

The difference between the 2006 year-to-date effective tax rate of 114.0 percent and the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent is primarily attributable to losses generated within the United States for which the Company did not record a corresponding tax benefit, interest on tax reserves accrued in prior years, and the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

The difference between the 2005 year-to-date effective tax rate of 34.6 percent and the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent is primarily attributable the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions, partially offset by a discrete tax charge related to tax rate changes.

6. Business Segment Information

The Company is organized on a regionally based management structure for commercial operations. The research and development and product supply functions of the Company are managed on a global basis. The Company’s engineering function is part of the product supply function. The Company's segments are the Americas region, the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (Europe), the Asia region, the Research & Development organization and the Global Operations & Engineering organization.

Operating income is the primary measure of segment income. No items below operating income are allocated to segments. Charges related to certain significant events, although related to specific segments, are also excluded from management basis results. There were no such charges during the quarters and six-month periods ended July 1, 2006 or June 25, 2005. The accounting policies used to generate segment results are the same as the Company's overall accounting policies. Inter-segment sales were $181.7 and $342.5 for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006, respectively, and $188.9 and $353.2 for the same periods in 2005. All inter-segment sales have been eliminated upon consolidation and have been excluded from the amounts in the tables below.

The following tables present net sales and operating income by business segment and present total company operating income for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 2006 and June 25, 2005.

Net U.S. sales totaled $221.4 and $442.6 in the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006, respectively, compared with $227.2 and $440.2 for the same prior-year periods. The Company's operations in France generated more than 10 percent of product net sales in the quarters ended July 1, 2006 and June 25, 2005 totaling $58.1 and $61.6 respectively. The Company’s operations in Japan generated more than 10 percent of product net sales in the quarter ended June 25, 2005 totaling $62.0. The Company's operations in France generated more than 10 percent of product net sales during the six months ended June 25, 2005 totaling $120.9. No other non-U.S. country, or single customer, generated more than 10 percent of total product net sales during the second quarters and first six months of 2006 and 2005.

7. Acquired Intangible Assets

In January 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of a privately-held company that manufactures a line of accessories that are compatible with the Company’s phacoemulsification and microkeratome equipment. As part of this transaction, the Company assumed an exclusive royalty bearing license agreement to aspiration tubing technology, and acquired certain patents and other intangible assets. Total consideration paid per the agreement was $8.0. As of January 2006, the Company made a $3.0 cash payment and executed an interest-bearing promissory note for the remaining $5.0, due in two equal installments of $2.5, six months and one year from the date of the agreement. As of July 1, 2006, cash payments totaled $3.0 with $2.5 and $2.7 due and subsequently paid in July 2006 and January 2007, respectively. The subsequent payments included $0.2 of interest. The acquired intangible assets are reflected in technology and patents ($4.7) and license agreements ($3.3) in the table below and have been assigned 11 and 20 year lives, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Subsidiary Debt Guarantees The Company guarantees in writing for its subsidiaries certain indebtedness used for working capital and other obligations. Those written guarantees totaled approximately $456.1 and $482.2 at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The 2006 and 2005 written guarantees are principally attributed to the Company’s agreement to guarantee a July 2005 bank term loan facility on behalf of its Japanese subsidiary and a December 2005 bank term loan facility on behalf of its Dutch subsidiary. Also, during December 2005, the Company agreed to guarantee a $26.8 bank line of credit on behalf of its Hong Kong subsidiary to partially fund the acquisition of an additional 15 percent interest in Freda, which was repaid by the Hong Kong subsidiary in January 2006. Outstanding balances under the guaranteed debt facilities were $425.2 and $449.9 at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. From time to time, the Company may also make verbal assurances with respect to indebtedness of its subsidiaries under certain lines of credit or other credit facilities, also used for working capital.

Letters of Credit The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling approximately $22.2 at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, to ensure payment of possible workers' compensation, product liability and other insurance claims. At July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had recorded liabilities of approximately $9.7 and $9.9, respectively, related to workers' compensation, product liability and other insurance claims.

Guarantees The Company guarantees a lease obligation on behalf of a customer in connection with a joint marketing alliance. The lease obligation has a term of ten years expiring November 2011. The amounts guaranteed at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $8.3 and $8.2, respectively. In the event of default, the guarantee would require payment from the Company. Sublease rights as specified under the agreement would reduce the Company's exposure. The Company believes the likelihood is remote that material payments will be required in connection with this guarantee and, therefore, has not recorded any liabilities under this guarantee.

Tax Indemnifications In connection with divestitures, the Company has agreed to indemnify certain tax obligations arising out of tax audits or administrative or court proceedings relating to tax returns for any periods ending on or prior to the closing date of the respective divestiture. The Company believes that any claim would not have a material impact on the Company's financial position. The Company has not recorded any liabilities associated with these claims.

Environmental Indemnifications The Company has certain obligations for environmental remediation and Superfund matters related to current and former Company sites. There have been no material changes to estimated future remediation costs as reflected in the Company’s 2006 10-K and its 2005 10-K. The Company does not believe that its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows are likely to be materially affected by environmental liabilities.

Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including patent, trademark, commercial and environmental matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Pending material litigation matters are discussed further in Note 14 — Other Matters. In addition to pending litigation matters, the Company may from time to time learn of alleged non-compliance with laws or regulations or other improprieties through compliance hotlines, communications by employees, former employees or other third parties, as a result of its internal audit procedures, or otherwise.

As previously reported, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors had commenced an investigation of the potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act implications of the Company's Spanish subsidiary's providing free product, principally intraocular lenses used in cataract surgery, and other things of value to doctors performing surgical procedures in public facilities in Spain. This investigation was initiated following reports of potentially improper sales practices by a former employee and was voluntarily reported to the Northeast Regional Office of the SEC. The Audit Committee's investigation is now complete and found no evidence that the Company's senior management in Rochester or regional management in London authorized, directed, controlled or knowingly acquiesced in the subject sales practices engaged in by the Company's Spanish subsidiary. It also appears that, in certain instances, the Spanish subsidiary's provision of free product and other things of value to doctors and hospitals in Spain were not appropriately documented or accurately recorded in the subsidiary's books and records. We cannot predict the outcome or potential liability of the Company or its Spanish subsidiary in connection with these matters, which may also raise issues under local laws.

During March 2007, the Company received formal notification of amnesty by the state Government of Sao Paolo as it relates to a Brazilian tax assessment recorded in periods prior to 2006. The reversal of penalties and interest of $19.3 and $2.5, respectively, has been reflected in the Company's first quarter 2007 results. On an after-tax basis, the reversal of the tax assessment and interest increased first-quarter 2007 earnings per share by $0.39.

The Company’s policy is to comply with applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it operates and, if the Company becomes aware of a potential or alleged violation, to conduct an appropriate investigation, to take appropriate remedial action and to cooperate fully with any related governmental inquiry. There can be no assurance that any pending or future investigation or resulting remedial action will not have a material adverse financial, operational or other effect on the Company. The Company cannot at this time estimate with any certainty the impact of any pending litigation matters, allegations of non-compliance with laws or regulations or allegations of other improprieties on its financial position (see Note 14 — Other Matters for further discussion).

Product Warranties The Company estimates future costs associated with expected product failure rates, material usage and service costs in the development of its warranty obligations. Warranty reserves are established based on historical experience of warranty claims and generally will be estimated as a percentage of sales over the warranty period or as a fixed dollar amount per unit sold. In the event that the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, an adjustment to the warranty obligation would be recorded. Changes in the Company's product warranty liability for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the second quarter ended July 1, 2006 were as follows:

Balance at December 25, 2004	$	7.8
Accruals for warranties issued		6.9
Changes in accruals related to pre-existing warranties		(2.1	)
Settlements made		(6.7	)
Balance at December 31, 2005 ¹	$	5.9
Accruals for warranties issued		3.2
Settlements made		(3.3	)
Balance at July 1, 2006 ¹	$	5.8

¹	Warranty reserve changes and balances do not include amounts in connection with the MoistureLoc recall.

Deferred Service Revenue Service revenues are derived from service contracts on surgical equipment sold to customers and are recognized over the term of the contracts while costs are recognized as incurred. Changes in the Company's deferred service revenue during the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the second quarter ended July 1, 2006 were as follows:

Balance at December 25, 2004	$	7.7
Accruals for service contracts		11.8
Revenue recognized		(12.6	)
Balance at December 31, 2005	$	6.9
Accruals for service contracts		6.3
Changes in accruals related to pre-existing service contracts		0.1

12. New Accounting Guidance

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded $18.2 as a cumulative effect adjustment reducing shareholders' equity, largely related to state income tax matters and partially offset by federal matters considered to be effectively settled.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, this Statement sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis, except to certain financial instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for which the provisions of SFAS No. 157 should be applied retrospectively. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008 and is still evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (SFAS No. 158). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. In addition, SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position, which is consistent with the measurement date for the Company’s defined benefit plans. SFAS No. 158 made no changes to the recognition of expense. SFAS No. 158 was effective as of the fiscal year ending December 30, 2006. The impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 158 was disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 14 — Employee Benefits in the Company’s 2006 Form 10-K.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB No. 108). SAB No. 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. The adoption of this statement did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008.

13. Acquisitions

In the 2006 Form 10-K and the 2005 Form 10-K, we disclosed the Company’s acquisition of a 70-percent controlling interest in the Shandong Chia Tai Freda Pharmaceutical Group (Freda) in the fourth quarter of 2005, including the timing of payments for the acquisition. The Freda acquisition was partially financed with a $26.8 non-U.S. line of credit borrowing, which was repaid in January 2006. During the quarter ended April 1, 2006, the Company made payments of $30.4 relative to the Freda acquisition, which included an additional cash payment of $26.6 and acquisition costs of $3.8. The Company did not acquire any businesses during the first half of 2006.

14. Other Matters

Legal Matters The Company is involved as a party in a number of material matters in litigation, including litigation relating to the proposed merger with affiliates of Warburg Pincus LLC (Warburg Pincus), general litigation related to the February 2007 restatement of the Company's financial information and the previously announced MoistureLoc withdrawal, material intellectual property litigation, and material tax litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all of these matters. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of, and cannot reasonably estimate the impact of, any pending litigation matters, matters concerning allegations of non-compliance with laws or regulations, and matters concerning other allegations of other improprieties. The Company has not made any financial provision for potential liability in connection with these matters, except as described below under Product Liability Lawsuits.

Shareholder Securities Class Actions There is a consolidated securities class action, entitled In re Bausch & Lomb Incorporated Securities Litigation, Case Nos. 06-cv-6294 (master file), 06-cv-6295, 06-cv-6296, and 06-cv-6300, pending in Federal District Court for the Western District of New York, Rochester Division, against the Company and certain present and former officers and directors. Initially, four separate shareholder actions were filed between March and May of 2006 in Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, and these were later transferred to the Western District of New York and consolidated into the above-captioned matter. Plaintiffs in these actions purport to represent a putative class of shareholders who purchased Company stock at allegedly artificially inflated levels between January 27, 2005 and May 3, 2006. Among other things, plaintiffs allege that defendants issued materially false and misleading public statements regarding the Company's financial condition and operations by failing to disclose negative information relating to the Company's Brazilian and Korean subsidiaries, internal controls, and problems with our MoistureLoc multipurpose solution (MoistureLoc), thereby inflating the price of Company stock during the alleged class period. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages. The cases are currently awaiting appointment of lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff's counsel in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Pursuant to a stipulated schedule ordered by the Court, the lead plaintiff appointed by the Court must file a consolidated amended complaint by 45 days after entry of the Court's order appointing the lead plaintiff.

Litigation Related to Merger The Company and its directors have been named as defendants in three purported class actions filed since May 16, 2007 on behalf of the public shareholders of the Company challenging the proposed transaction pursuant to which affiliates of Warburg Pincus will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common stock for $65.00 per share in cash. Two of these cases are pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in and for Monroe County, entitled: First Derivative Traders LP v. Zarrella, et al., Case No. 07-6384 (May 21, 2007) and Brower v. Bausch & Lomb, Inc., Case No. 07-7323 (June 12, 2007). Brower was originally filed on May 17, 2007 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in and for New York County, where a voluntary dismissal by the plaintiff is pending. The third purported class action against the Company and its directors, entitled Gottlieb v. Bausch & Lomb, Inc., et al., Case No. 07-6506 (May 22, 2007), was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in and for Monroe County, but subsequently was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff. A fourth purported shareholder class action entitled Palmer v. Warburg Pincus LLC, et al., Case No. 07-6634 (May 25, 2007), filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in and for Monroe County, names the Company's directors, but not the Company, as defendants. The complaints in these actions contain substantially similar allegations and seek substantially similar relief. Among other things, plaintiffs allege that the director defendants have breached their fiduciary duties to the Company's shareholders in pursuing the proposed transaction, including by accepting an unfair and inadequate acquisition price and failing to take appropriate steps to maximize shareholder value in connection with the sale of the Company. The Brower and Palmer complaints also assert a claim against Warburg Pincus for aiding and abetting the directors' breach of fiduciary duties. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the proposed transaction and unspecified damages.

Page 22

ERISA-Based Class Actions There is a consolidated ERISA class action, entitled In re Bausch & Lomb Incorporated ERISA Litigation, Case Nos. 06-cv-6297 (master file), 06-cv-6315, and 06-cv-6348, pending in the Federal District Court for the Western District of New York, Rochester Division, against the Company and certain present and former officers and directors. Initially, three separate actions were filed between April and May of 2006 in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, and these were later transferred to the Western District of New York and consolidated into the above-captioned matter. Plaintiffs in these actions purport to represent a class of participants in the Company's defined contribution 401(k) Plan for whose individual accounts the plan held an interest in Company stock between May 25, 2000 and the present. Among other things, plaintiffs allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to plan participants by allowing the plan to invest in Company Common stock despite the fact that it was allegedly artificially inflated due to the failure to disclose negative information relating to the Company's Brazilian and Korean subsidiaries, internal controls, and problems with MoistureLoc. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages as well as certain declaratory and injunctive relief. On August 28, 2006, the Court entered an order appointing co-lead plaintiffs and co-lead plaintiffs' counsel. Pursuant to a stipulated schedule ordered by the Court, plaintiffs in the consolidated ERISA action will have until 10 days after a consolidated amended complaint is filed in the consolidated securities action described above, to file a consolidated amended complaint.

Shareholder Derivative Actions The shareholder derivative actions, in which a shareholder seeks to assert the rights of the Company derivatively against certain present and former officers and directors, fall into two categories: (a) those asserting allegations relating to accounting issues at the Company's Brazilian and Korean subsidiaries; and (b) those asserting allegations relating to the MoistureLoc withdrawal.

There is a consolidated derivative action asserting allegations relating to accounting issues at the Company's Brazilian and Korean subsidiaries, entitled In re Bausch & Lomb Incorporated Derivative Litigation, Case Nos. 06-cv-6298 (master file) and 06-cv-6299, pending in Federal District Court for the Western District of New York, Rochester Division, against certain present and former officers and directors of the Company, and also naming the Company as nominal defendant. Initially, two separate derivative actions were filed in April 2006 in Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, and were later transferred to the Western District of New York and consolidated. Among other things, plaintiffs allege that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by causing or allowing the Company to issue materially false and misleading public statements regarding the Company's financial condition and operations that failed to disclose negative information about the Company's Brazilian and Korean subsidiaries and internal controls, thereby inflating the price of Company stock during the relevant time period.

On May 16, 2007, plaintiffs filed a First Amended Verified Shareholder Derivative and Class Action Complaint (First Amended Complaint) against the current members of the Board of Directors, certain current and former officers, certain former board members, as well as Warburg Pincus, and naming the Company as nominal defendant. In addition to realleging the prior derivative claims, the First Amended Complaint sets forth direct claims on behalf of a putative class of the Company's shareholders against the current director defendants alleging that the directors have breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with entering into the merger agreement with Warburg Pincus pursuant to which affiliates of Warburg Pincus will acquire all of the outstanding shares of our Common stock for $65.00 in cash as announced on May 16, 2007, and a claim against Warburg Pincus for aiding and abetting such breach. With respect to the derivative claims, plaintiffs (i) purport to allege damage to the Company as a result of, among other things, a decrease in the Company's market capitalization, exposure to liability in securities fraud actions, and the costs of internal investigations and financial restatements, and (ii) seek unspecified damages as well as certain declaratory and injunctive relief, including for misappropriation of inside information for personal benefit by certain of the individual defendants. With respect to the direct class claims, plaintiffs (i) purport to allege damage to shareholders as a result of, among other things, the Company having entered into a proposed transaction that is unfair to shareholders, including because the per share price offered is allegedly inadequate and consummation of the proposed transaction risks extinguishing their derivative claims, and (ii) seek injunctive relief against the proposed transaction. Pursuant to a stipulated schedule ordered by the Court, defendants have 60 days to answer or otherwise respond to the First Amended Complaint.

Page 23

On January 3, 2006, the Company received a demand letter dated December 28, 2005, from a law firm not involved in the derivative actions described above, on behalf of a shareholder who also is not involved in the derivative actions, demanding that the Board of Directors bring claims on behalf of the Company based on allegations substantially similar to those that were later alleged in the two derivative actions relating to accounting issues at the Brazilian and Korean subsidiaries. In response to the demand letter, the Board of Directors adopted a board resolution establishing an Evaluation Committee (made up of independent directors) to investigate, review and analyze the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations made in the demand letter, but reserving to the full Board authority and discretion to exercise its business judgment in respect of the proper disposition of the demand. The Committee has engaged independent outside counsel to advise it.

There are also two purported derivative actions asserting allegations relating to the MoistureLoc withdrawal. The first case, entitled Little v. Zarrella, Case No. 06-cv-6337, was filed in June 2006 in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York and was transferred to the Western District of New York, Rochester Division, where it is currently pending against certain directors of the Company, and also naming the Company as nominal defendant. The second case, entitled Pinchuck v. Zarrella, Case No. 06-6377, was filed in June 2006 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Monroe, against the directors of the Company, and also naming the Company as nominal defendant. Among other things, plaintiffs in these actions allege that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the Company's handling of the MoistureLoc withdrawal. Plaintiffs purport to allege damage to the Company as a result of, among other things, costs of litigating product liability and personal injury lawsuits, costs of the product recall, costs of carrying out internal investigations, and the loss of goodwill and reputation. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages as well as certain declaratory and injunctive relief.

Pursuant to a stipulated schedule ordered by the Court, plaintiff in the state court Pinchuck action served an amended complaint on September 15, 2006 and defendants served a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on November 15, 2006. On March 30, 2007, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the Pinchuck action. On April 25, 2007, plaintiff submitted a demand letter dated April 24, 2007, demanding that the Board bring claims on behalf of the Company against all current Board members based on allegations that the Board members breached their fiduciary duties to the Company with respect to the handling of the recall of ReNu with MoistureLoc. The Board of Directors is reviewing the demand letter and will respond in due course. Pursuant to a stipulated schedule ordered by the Court in the federal Little action, plaintiff in that case will have until 60 days after a ruling on a motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities action is entered or, if no such motion is filed, 60 days after defendants' answer to a consolidated amended complaint in the consolidated securities action is filed, to file an amended complaint.

Product Liability Lawsuits As of June 15, 2007, the Company has been served or is aware that it has been named as a defendant in approximately 431 product liability lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts as well as certain other non-U.S. jurisdictions. Of the 431 cases, 183 actions have been filed in U.S. federal courts, 244 cases have been filed in various U.S. state courts and four actions have been filed in non-U.S. jurisdictions. These also include 406 individual actions filed on behalf of individuals who claim they suffered personal injury as a result of using a ReNu solution and 25 putative class actions alleging personal injury as a result of using a ReNu solution and/or violations of one or more state consumer protection statutes. In the personal injury actions, plaintiffs allege liability based on, among other things, negligence, strict product liability, failure to warn and breach of warranty. In the consumer protection actions, plaintiffs seek economic damages, claiming that they were misled to purchase products that were not as safe as advertised. Several lawsuits contain a combination of these allegations. On August 14, 2006, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) created a coordinated proceeding and transferred an initial set of MoistureLoc product liability lawsuits to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. The Company has advised the JPML of all federal cases available for transfer and has urged the issuance of conditional transfer orders. As of June 15, 2007, 167 of the 183 federal cases noted above have been transferred to the JPML.

These cases and claims involve complex legal and factual questions relating to causation, scientific evidence, actual damages and other matters. Litigation of this type is also inherently unpredictable, particularly given that these matters are at an early stage, there are many claimants and many of the claimants seek unspecified damages. Accordingly, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these matters or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss. At this time, we have not recorded any provisions for potential liability in these matters, except that we have made provisions in connection with a small number of claims. While we intend to vigorously defend these matters, we could in future periods incur judgments or enter into settlements that individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition in any such period.

Material Intellectual Property Litigation In October 2005, Rembrandt Vision Technologies, L.P. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company and CIBA Vision Corporation. The action is entitled, Rembrandt Vision Technology, L.P. v. Bausch & Lomb Incorporated and CIBA Vision Corporation, bearing case number 2:05 CV 491, and is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division). Rembrandt asserts that the Company and CIBA have infringed certain of Rembrandt’s oxygen permeability and tear-wettability technology that it claims to be protected by a U.S. Patent No. 5,712,327 entitled “Soft Gas Permeable Lens Having Improved Clinical Performance” (the 327 Patent). Rembrandt claims that the Company infringes the 327 Patent by selling soft gas permeable contact lenses that have tear-wettable surfaces in the U.S., which would include the Company’s PureVision silicone hydrogel lens products. The Company denies, and intends to vigorously defend itself against, Rembrandt’s claims. The Court has issued a scheduling order and has set a trial date of November 5, 2007.

Material Tax Litigation As disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 10 — Provision for Income Taxes of the 2005 and 2006 Form 10-K, on May 12, 2006, the Company received a Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment from the Internal Revenue Service relating to partnership tax periods ended June 4, 1999 and December 25, 1999, for Wilmington Partners L.P. (Wilmington), a partnership formed in 1993 in which the majority of partnership interests are held by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment (FPAA) proposes adjustments increasing the ordinary income reported by Wilmington for its December 25, 1999 tax year by a total of $10.0, and increasing a long-term capital gain reported by Wilmington for that tax year by $189.9. The FPAA also proposes a $550.0 negative adjustment to Wilmington's basis in a financial asset contributed to it by one of its partners in 1993; this adjustment would also affect the basis of that partner — one of the Company's subsidiaries — in its partnership interest in Wilmington. The asserted adjustments could, if sustained in full, increase the tax liabilities of the partnership's partners for the associated tax periods by more than $200.0, plus penalties and interest. The Company has not made any financial provision for the asserted additional taxes, penalties or interest as the Company believes the asserted adjustments are not probable and estimable.

Since 1999, the Company's consolidated financial statements have included a deferred tax liability relating to the partnership. As of December 30, 2006, this deferred tax liability equaled $157.5. This deferred tax liability is currently reducing net deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance exists as of December 30, 2006.

On August 7, 2006, the Company made a petition to the U.S. Tax Court to challenge the asserted adjustments. Internal Revenue Service's answer was filed on October 4, 2006. On May 30, 2007, the Tax Court denied the Company's motion to strike portions of the answer. The Company continues to believe that it has numerous substantive and procedural tax law arguments to dispute the adjustments. Tax, penalties and interest cannot be assessed until a Tax Court determination is made, and an assessment, if any, would likely not be made until some time after 2007. While the Company intends to vigorously defend against the asserted adjustments, its failure to succeed in such a defense could significantly increase the liability of the partnership's partner for taxes, plus interest and penalties, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial results and cash flows.

General Litigation Statement From time to time, the Company is engaged in, or is the subject of, various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including product liability, patent, trademark, commercial and other matters, in the ordinary course of business.

In addition to pending litigation matters, the Company may from time to time learn of alleged non-compliance with laws or regulations or other improprieties through compliance hotlines, communications by employees, former employees or other third parties, as a result of its internal audit procedures, or otherwise. In response to such allegations, the Company’s Audit Committee conducted certain investigations during 2005 and 2006, which led, among other things, to the restatement of previously reported financial information and the recording of current charges. The restatement, in turn, resulted in the Company’s being unable to file timely certain periodic financial information and the Company’s obtaining certain waivers from creditors.

15. Market Withdrawal of MoistureLoc Lens Care Solution

On May 15, 2006, the Company announced a voluntary recall of its MoistureLoc lens care solution. The decision was made following an investigation into an increase in fungal infections among contact lens wearers in the United States and certain Asian markets. The Company’s decision to recall the product represented a subsequent event occurring prior to filing its 2005 Form 10-K, but related to product manufactured and sold in 2005. In accordance with GAAP, the Company recorded certain items associated with the recall in its 2005 financial results. The adjustments were recorded as 2005 third-quarter events, because that was the earliest reporting period for which the Company had not filed quarterly financial results on Form 10-Q. The Company incurred additional charges, primarily in Europe, associated with the MoistureLoc recall for product manufactured and sold in 2006. These charges reduced first quarter 2006 earnings before income taxes by $26.7 and net income by $19.6 or $0.35 per share (based on local statutory rates), of which approximately $19.1 is associated with sales returns and other reductions to net sales. There were no additional charges recorded in the quarter ended July 1, 2006. The voluntary recall has been further described in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K and its 2006 Form 10-K.

16. Subsequent Event

On May 16, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with affiliates of Warburg Pincus in a transaction valued at approximately $4.5 billion, including approximately $830 of debt. Under the terms of the agreement, Warburg Pincus will acquire all the outstanding shares of the Company's Common stock for $65.00 per share. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Company's shareholders and regulatory approvals. Closing is not subject to any financing condition. A Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors may solicit superior proposals from third parties through July 5, 2007. If a superior proposal leads to the execution of a definitive agreement, the Company would be obligated to pay a $40 break-up fee to Warburg Pincus.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Bausch & Lomb is a global eye health company dedicated to perfecting vision and enhancing life for consumers around the world. We develop, manufacture and sell contact lenses and lens care products, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals and products used in ophthalmic surgery. With products available in more than 100 countries, the Bausch & Lomb name is one of the best known and most respected eye health brands in the world.

Page 26

We manage the business through five business segments. These include three regional commercial segments (the Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa [Europe]; and Asia); and two centralized functions (Global Operations & Engineering and Research & Development). The Global Operations & Engineering segment is responsible for manufacturing, distribution, logistics and engineering activities for all product categories in all geographies. The Research & Development segment has global responsibility across all product categories for product research and development, clinical and medical affairs, and regulatory affairs and quality.

Because our products are sold worldwide (with approximately 60 percent of sales derived outside the United States), our reported financial results are impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. At the net sales level, our greatest translation risk exposures are principally to the euro and the Japanese yen. At the earnings level, we are somewhat naturally hedged to the euro because top-line exposures are offset by euro-denominated expenses resulting from manufacturing, research and sales activities in Europe. In general, we do not use financial instruments to hedge translation risk, other than occasionally for the yen.

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of Bausch & Lomb Incorporated (Bausch & Lomb, we, or the Company). All dollar amounts in this MD&A, except for per share data, are expressed in millions unless specified otherwise, and earnings per share are presented on a diluted basis.

The MD&A includes a non-GAAP constant-currency measure which we use as a key performance metric in assessing organic business growth trends. Constant-currency results are calculated by translating actual current- and prior-year local currency revenues and expenses at the same predetermined exchange rates. The translated results are then used to determine year-over-year percentage increases or decreases that exclude the impact of currency. Since a significant portion of our revenues are derived in markets outside the United States, we monitor constant-currency performance for Bausch & Lomb in total as well as for each of our business segments. In addition, we use constant-currency results to assess non-U.S. operations' performance against yearly targets for the purpose of calculating bonuses for certain regional employees.

Financial information for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 contained in this MD&A reflects the restatement adjustments described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 2 — Restatement and Note 22 — Quarterly Results, Stock Prices and Selected Financial Data (Unaudited) of Bausch & Lomb’s 2005 Form 10-K and described in the Recent Developments section below.

As more fully described in the Recent Developments section and in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 15 — Market Withdrawal of MoistureLoc Lens Care Solution, in May 2006 we instituted a worldwide recall of ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens care solution (MoistureLoc). Charges associated with this recall were recorded in the third quarter of 2005 and in the first quarter of 2006. In the discussion of operating performance which follows, we have quantified the charges, and in some cases have provided certain information about growth rates and operating ratios prior to the recording of the charges. We believe this additional disclosure is useful and relevant because it provides a basis for understanding underlying business performance independent of this unusual situation.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2005 we sold our Woehlk contact lens business in Germany, and in the fourth quarter of 2005 we completed the acquisition of Bausch & Lomb Freda (Freda), a Chinese ophthalmic pharmaceutical company. These events impacted the reported growth rates for our regions and product categories. In certain instances in the discussion of operating performance which follows, we have disclosed growth rates for the total company, Europe and Asia regions, as well as the contact lens and pharmaceuticals product categories, which are calculated by removing incremental sales associated with Freda from the 2006 periods and sales associated with Woehlk from the 2005 periods. We believe this additional disclosure is useful and relevant because it provides a basis for understanding and assessing underlying performance of those portions of our business which were fully in place for all periods.

Recent Developments

Restatement of Financial Information As previously disclosed in our Notification of Late Filings on Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 17, 2006, May 11, 2006, August 8, 2006, November 9, 2006 and March 1, 2007, we were unable to file our required 2005 and 2006 financial reports with the SEC on a timely basis due to ongoing independent investigations conducted by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors; expanded 2005 year-end procedures that were not complete; expanded procedures with respect to the accounting for income taxes that were not complete; and continued efforts to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Our review and evaluation of internal control over financial reporting concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 or December 30, 2006. For additional information regarding our assessment of internal controls for 2006, see Item 9A.Controls and Procedures of our Form 10-K for 2006.

As a result of the Audit Committee’s investigations and the expanded 2005 year-end procedures and expanded procedures with respect to the accounting for income taxes, we identified errors made in the application of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that impacted previously reported financial statements. Consequently, management determined that our previously issued consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 and our financial information for the years ended 2001 and 2002 (including a cumulative increase to 2001 beginning retained earnings of $34) and the first and second quarters of 2005 should be restated to correct for such errors and departures from GAAP. The restated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain a number of adjustments associated with revenue recognition; accounting for reserves; accounting for foreign currency adjustments; accounting for income taxes, including income taxes payable, tax reserves, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, related valuation allowances and income tax expense; and the accounting for our Long-Term Deferred Compensation Plan. For further details regarding the Audit Committee investigations and restatement of financial results, see Note 1 — Restatement.

Market Withdrawal of MoistureLoc On May 15, 2006, we announced a worldwide voluntary recall of MoistureLoc. Our decision was made following an investigation into increased fungal infections among contact lens wearers in the United States and certain Asian markets. In accordance with GAAP, we recorded certain items associated with this subsequent event in our 2005 financial results. The adjustments were recorded as third-quarter events, because that was the earliest reporting period for which we had not filed quarterly financial results on a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additional charges were recorded in the first quarter of 2006, primarily in Europe.

The charges associated with the withdrawal reduced first-quarter 2006 earnings before income taxes and minority interest by $27, net income by $20, and earnings per share by $0.35. Of the pre-tax amount, $19 related to estimated customer returns and consumer rebates and was recorded as a reduction to net sales; $5 related to costs associated with returned product and the disposal and write-off of inventory, which was recorded as cost of products sold; and $3 related to costs associated with the notification to customers and consumers required in market withdrawal instances, which were recorded as selling, administrative and general expense.

The decision to withdraw the product negatively impacted full-year 2006 financial performance, as further discussed below, and likely will impact performance in 2007. In addition to the charges described above, performance was hampered by the impact from lost MoistureLoc revenues; lower revenues for other lens care products, reflecting market share losses caused by trade and consumer uncertainty; negative collateral effect on our contact lens and pharmaceuticals categories, primarily in Asia; and higher expenses associated with the recall, legal expenses associated with product liability lawsuits, and increased promotional expense to regain distribution and brand equity in the lens care category. For an additional discussion on the market withdrawal of MoistureLoc, see Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 15 — Market Withdrawal of MoistureLoc Lens Care Solution.

Brazilian Tax Assessment During March 2007, we received formal notification of amnesty by the state government of Sao Paolo as it relates to a Brazilian tax assessment recorded in periods prior to 2007. The reversal of penalties and interest of $19 and $3, respectively, was reflected in our first-quarter 2007 results. On an after-tax basis, the reversal of the tax assessment and interest increased first-quarter 2007 earnings per share by $0.39.

Merger Agreement with Warburg Pincus LLC (Warburg Pincus) On May 16, 2007, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with affiliates of Warburg Pincus in a transaction valued at approximately $4.5 billion, including approximately $830 of debt. Under the terms of the agreement, Warburg Pincus will acquire all the outstanding shares of our Common stock for $65.00 per share. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval by our shareholders and regulatory approvals. Closing is not subject to any financing condition. A Special Committee of our Board of Directors may solicit superior proposals from third parties through July 5, 2007. If a superior proposal leads to the execution of a definitive agreement, we would be obligated to pay a $40 break-up fee to Warburg Pincus.

Legal Matters The Company is involved as a party in a number of material matters in litigation, including litigation relating to the proposed merger with affiliates of Warburg Pincus, general litigation related to the February 2007 restatement of the Company's financial information and the previously announced MoistureLoc withdrawal, material intellectual property litigation, and material tax litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all of these matters. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of, and cannot reasonably estimate the impact of, any pending litigation matters, matters concerning allegations of non-compliance with laws or regulations, and matters concerning other allegations of other improprieties. The Company has not made any financial provision for potential liability in connection with these matters, except as described below under Product Liability Lawsuits.

Material Tax Litigation As disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 10 — Provision for Income Taxes of the 2006 Form 10-K, on May 12, 2006, the Company received a Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment from the Internal Revenue Service relating to partnership tax periods ended June 4, 1999 and December 25, 1999, for Wilmington Partners L.P. (Wilmington), a partnership formed in 1993 in which the majority of partnership interests are held by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment (FPAA) proposes adjustments increasing the ordinary income reported by Wilmington for its December 25, 1999 tax year by a total of $10, and increasing a long-term capital gain reported by Wilmington for that tax year by $190. The FPAA also proposes a $550 negative adjustment to Wilmington's basis in a financial asset contributed to it by one of its partners in 1993; this adjustment would also affect the basis of that partner — one of the Company's subsidiaries — in its partnership interest in Wilmington. The asserted adjustments could, if sustained in full, increase the tax liabilities of the partnership's partners for the associated tax periods by more than $200, plus penalties and interest. The Company has not made any financial provision for the asserted additional taxes, penalties or interest as the Company believes the asserted adjustments are not probable and estimable.

Since 1999, the Company's consolidated financial statements have included a deferred tax liability relating to the partnership. As of December 30, 2006, this deferred tax liability equaled $158. This deferred tax liability is currently reducing net deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance exists as of December 30, 2006.

¹ U.S. revenues represented approximately 90 percent of the Americas segment revenue in each year.

2006 year-to-date amounts reflect the impact of the voluntary recall of MoistureLoc discussed in Recent Developments above and in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 15 — Market Withdrawal of MoistureLoc Lens Care Solution. Charges associated with the recall reduced non-U.S. net sales by $19.1.

Business Segment Net Sales Our business segments are the Americas region; the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (Europe); the Asia region; the Research & Development organization; and the Global Operations & Engineering organization. In each geographic segment, we market products in five categories: contact lens, lens care, pharmaceuticals, cataract and vitreoretinal, and refractive. The contact lens category includes traditional, planned replacement disposable, daily disposable, multifocal, and toric soft lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses and materials. The lens care category includes multi-purpose solutions, cleaning and conditioning solutions for RGP lenses, re-wetting drops and saline solutions. The pharmaceuticals category includes generic and proprietary prescription ophthalmic drugs, ocular vitamins and over-the-counter medications. The cataract and vitreoretinal category includes intraocular lenses (IOLs), phacoemulsification equipment and related disposable products, hand-held surgical instruments and viscoelastics and other products used in cataract and vitreoretinal surgery. The refractive category includes lasers, microkeratomes, diagnostic equipment and other products and equipment used in refractive surgery. There are no transfers of products between product categories.

2006 amounts reflect the impact of the voluntary recall of MoistureLoc discussed in Recent Developments above and in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 15 — Market Withdrawal of MoistureLoc Lens Care Solution. Provisions for sales returns and consumer rebates associated with the recall reduced year-to-date Americas region net sales by $0.6, Europe region net sales by $18.0 and Asia region net sales by $0.5.

Consolidated second-quarter net sales decreased 6 percent compared to 2005. Second-quarter 2006 sales include $9 incremental revenues from Freda. Additionally, 2005 revenues included $3 sales from Woehlk, which was divested in the third quarter of that year. Excluding sales associated with Woehlk and Freda from both periods, second-quarter net sales decreased 7 percent from 2005 (6 percent in constant currency). For the first six months of 2006, net sales declined 4 percent on a reported basis and declined 2 percent in constant currency. Year-to-date 2006 sales were reduced by $19 in provisions for customer returns and rebate provisions associated with the voluntary recall of MoistureLoc contact lens solution and also reflect $27 in incremental sales from Freda. Prior-year amounts include $7 revenues from Woehlk. Excluding these items, consolidated net sales decreased 4 percent, or 2 percent in constant currency.

Second-quarter Americas segment net sales decreased 2 percent from 2005, or 3 percent in constant currency. Declines in sales of lens care products resulting from the MoistureLoc situation, and refractive surgery products more than offset growth in sales of contact lenses, pharmaceuticals and cataract surgery products. Year-to-date Americas segment net sales increased 1 percent from the same period in 2005 and were flat in constant currency. Current-year figures include approximately $1 in sales return and consumer rebate provisions associated with the MoistureLoc recall. Excluding those items, year-to-date Americas segment net sales grew 1 percent on both a reported and constant-currency basis, reflecting similar trends.

Page 35

Europe segment net sales declined 4 percent, reflecting lower sales of vision care and refractive surgery products. Excluding Woehlk revenues from 2005, revenues decreased 2 percent. On a year-to-date basis, Europe segment net sales declined 9 percent, or 5 percent in constant currency, mainly reflecting $18 in sales return and consumer rebate provisions associated with the MoistureLoc recall. Excluding those provisions in 2006 and Woehlk revenues in 2005, sales declined 3 percent, and increased 1 percent in constant currency, with higher constant-currency sales of pharmaceutical, cataract surgery and lens care products more than offset by declines for contact lenses and refractive surgery products.

Second-quarter Asia segment net sales declined 16 percent from 2005, or 14 percent in constant currency. For the year-to-date period, sales declined 4 percent and were flat on a constant-currency basis. The year-to-date figures include approximately $1 in sales return and consumer rebate provisions associated with the MoistureLoc recall. Both quarter- and year-to-date figures include incremental sales associated with the acquisition of Freda. Excluding those items, second-quarter Asia segment sales declined 23 percent (21 percent in constant currency) and year-to-date Asia segment net sales declined 16 percent, or 13 percent in constant currency. The Asia region, particularly China, experienced the most significant negative collateral impact on our non-lens care product lines as a result of the MoistureLoc recall. We have initiated brand rebuilding programs to specifically address this situation in order to recoup as much lost market share and distribution as possible and rebuild the reputation of the Bausch & Lomb brand. We began to experience signs of recovery by the end of 2006 and continuing into 2007.

A more detailed discussion of net sales trends by geographic region follows.

Americas

The following table summarizes percentage net sales increases for the Americas region by product category:

	Quarter Ended July 1, 2006						Six Months Ended July 1, 2006
	2006 vs. 2005 Restated Percent Increase (Decrease)						2006 vs. 2005 Restated Percent Increase (Decrease)
	Actual Dollars			Constant Currency			Actual Dollars			Constant Currency
Contact Lens		14	%		13	%		17	%		15	%
Lens Care ¹		(21	%)		(22	%)		(16	%)		(16	%)
Pharmaceuticals		4	%		4	%		7	%		6	%
Cataract and Vitreoretinal		3	%		2	%		5	%		4	%
Refractive		(16	%)		(16	%)		(5	%)		(6	%)
Total Americas		(2	%)		(3	%)		1	%		-	%

Contact lens category growth in 2006 was mainly due to higher shipments of the PureVision line of silicone hydrogel spherical contact lenses, and the launch of the PureVision Toric and PureVision Multi-Focal lines. Somewhat offsetting those gains were higher rebates offered on silicone hydrogel lenses (recorded as an offset to gross sales) in response to similar programs by other manufacturers. Additionally, the SofLens Toric and SofLens Multi-Focal lines experienced net sales declines in the second quarter (and, for SofLens Toric, in the year-to-date period), reflecting market shifts to silicone hydrogel products. However, on a combined basis, our disposable toric contact lens revenues in the Americas region increased close to 20 percent on a year-to-date basis, compared to typical market growth in the low to mid-teens.

Page 36

Sales declines in the lens care category reflect the impact of our suspending shipments of MoistureLoc beginning in April 2006, and market share losses resulting from customer and trade concerns during our investigation into increased fungal infections among contact lens wearers in the United States and Asia. Coupon and rebate expense also increased in 2006, as we executed brand rebuilding programs in an effort to recoup lost market share. According to third-party market research, our unit share of the U.S. multipurpose solutions market declined from approximately 30 percent prior to the MoistureLoc recall to approximately 18 percent after the recall. As discussed above, lens care category net sales declined in the second half of 2006 in all regions, due to lost MoistureLoc revenues following the recall and market share losses resulting from customer and trade concerns during our investigation into increased fungal infections among contact lens wearers. We have initiated brand rebuilding programs to specifically address this situation in order to regain distribution and market share.

Pharmaceuticals sales gains for both the quarter- and year-to-date periods were mainly due to above-market growth by our lines of ocular vitamins and higher sales of Lotemax anti-inflammatory eye drops, combined with incremental revenues from Retisert drug delivery implants. Second-quarter gains also reflect higher sales of Zylet combination ophthalmic drops. For the year-to-date period, Zylet product sales declined, reflecting initial pipeline shipments in the first quarter of 2005. During the second quarter of 2006 we launched Ocuvite Adult and Ocuvite Adult 50+ vitamins as part of our repositioned general eye health line.

Sales gains for cataract and vitreoretinal products were led by our lines of IOLs, mainly our silicone IOL offerings which were up close to 10 percent in the second quarter and close to 15 percent on a year-to-date basis, as well as our lines of handheld surgical instruments and viscoelastics. Phacoemulsification product sales declined in both the quarter and on a year-to-date basis, reflecting lower sales of equipment as customers delay such purchases in anticipation of our new phacoemulsification platform planned for launch in 2007.

Refractive category performance was due to lower sales of equipment and microkeratome blades, reflecting a tightening market environment. Procedure card revenues increased 3 percent in the quarter and more than 10 percent on a year-to-date basis, driven by increased utilization of our Zyoptix custom LASIK procedure.

Europe

The following table summarizes percentage net sales increases for the Europe region by product category:

	Quarter Ended July 1, 2006						Six Months Ended July 1, 2006
	2006 vs. 2005 Restated Percent Increase (Decrease)						2006 vs. 2005 Restated Percent Increase (Decrease)
	Actual Dollars			Constant Currency			Actual Dollars			Constant Currency
Contact Lens		(10	%)		(10	%)		(11	%)		(8	%)
Lens Care ¹		(11	%)		(11	%)		(34	%)		(32	%)
Pharmaceuticals		2	%		1	%		1	%		5	%
Cataract and Vitreoretinal		2	%		2	%		1	%		5	%
Refractive		(2	%)		(2	%)		(16	%)		(13	%)
Total Europe		(4	%)		(4	%)		(9	%)		(5	%)

Page 37

2005 contact lens sales figures include results from our Woehlk business in Germany, which we divested in the third quarter of that year. Excluding Woehlk results from the prior year, second-quarter Europe region contact lens sales were down 5 percent, and for the year-to-date period they were down 7 percent (3 percent in constant currency). Higher constant-currency sales of the PureVision and SofLens Multi-Focal (and, for the year-to-date period, SofLens Toric) brands were essentially offset by declines for SofLens One Day and for certain older lines of contact lenses that we are in the process of discontinuing as the market transitions to silicone hydrogel products. We believe sales trends for one-day contact lenses should improve as we move into 2007, based on enthusiastic doctor and patient response to our SofLens Daily Disposable contact lens, which we launched late in 2006 in the region. Sales of silicone hydrogel contact lenses grew more than 30 percent both in the second quarter and on a year-to-date basis compared to the same 2005 periods.

Second-quarter lens care sales declines reflect the impact of the MoistureLoc recall, particularly the fact that we were not able to gain full distribution for ReNu MultiPlus and ReNu Multipurpose solutions immediately following the May market withdrawal due to supply constraints. For the year-to-date period, reported declines include $18 of sales returns and consumer coupon provisions associated with the MoistureLoc recall. Excluding these items, European lens care sales were down 3 percent from the prior year on a reported basis, but were up 1 percent in constant-currency. As discussed above, lens care category net sales declined in the second half of 2006 in all regions, due to lost MoistureLoc revenues following the recall and market share losses resulting from customer and trade concerns during our investigation into increased fungal infections among contact lens wearers. We have initiated brand rebuilding programs to specifically address this situation in order to regain distribution and market share.

·	Constant-currency European pharmaceuticals sales growth was mainly attributable to our lines of ocular vitamins, allergy and dry eye products, partially offset by declines in certain lines of non-ophthalmic products.

Higher constant-currency cataract and vitreoretinal sales mainly reflected strong performance for IOLs, which grew about 5 percent in the second quarter and more than 10 percent on a year-to-date basis on the continued strength of our Akreos line of acrylic IOLs. Also contributing were constant-currency sales increases for phacoemulsification products, particularly disposable items such as custom packs used for cataract surgery.

·	Second-quarter refractive surgery sales performance in Europe was mainly due to lower sales of microkeratome blades and lower service revenue. For the year-to-date period, declines were mainly due to lower laser sales.

Asia

The following table summarizes percentage net sales increases for the Asia region by product category:

	Quarter Ended July 1, 2006						Six Months Ended July 1, 2006
	2006 vs. 2005 Restated Percent Increase (Decrease)						2006 vs. 2005 Restated Percent Increase (Decrease)
	Actual Dollars			Constant Currency			Actual Dollars			Constant Currency
Contact Lens		(17	%)		(15	%)		(8	%)		(4	%)
Lens Care ¹		(45	%)		(43	%)		(40	%)		(38	%)
Pharmaceuticals ²	NM			NM			NM			NM
Cataract and Vitreoretinal		-	%		1	%		(1	%)		2	%
Refractive		(24	%)		(24	%)		(14	%)		(14	%)
Total Asia		(16	%)		(14	%)		(4	%)		-	%

²	NM denotes “not meaningful”. 2006 pharmaceuticals category sales include incremental revenues from the acquisition of Freda ($9.2 in the second quarter and $27.4 for the first six months), resulting in a calculated growth rate of more than 100 percent.

Page 38

Second-quarter Asian contact lens revenues declines were mainly due to collateral damage to our contact lens franchise resulting from the MoistureLoc situation in China and other markets where fusarium-related infections were reported earlier in the year; lower sales of two-week disposable contact lenses in Japan (reflecting market trends that favor daily disposable products); and lower sales of older products that we are discontinuing as part of our ongoing product rationalization initiatives. During the second quarter we completed the rollout of our redesigned daily disposable contact lens in Japan, making it available nationwide in that market. Outside of Japan, the negative publicity surrounding MoistureLoc continues to impact our lens business, and we are executing specific initiatives we hope to rebuild consumer confidence in our vision care products. Year-to-date contact lens trends are consistent with those noted above, except in Japan, where contact lens sales increased due to market share gains for our Medalist brand of two-week disposable contact lenses, which continued to grow despite the overall market trends in favor or daily disposable products.

Second-quarter and year-to-date lens care sales declined in most markets in the Asia region. In markets other than Japan, these declines were due to negative publicity and consumer concern as a result of the MoistureLoc situation. The most significant negative impact from the MoistureLoc situation was seen in China, despite there having been no confirmed infections in that market. As discussed above, lens care category net sales declined in the second half of 2006 in all regions, due to lost MoistureLoc revenues following the recall and market share losses resulting from customer and trade concerns during our investigation into increased fungal infections among contact lens wearers. We have initiated brand rebuilding programs to specifically address this situation in order to regain distribution and market share. In Japan, constant-currency lens care revenues also declined, as our ReNu franchise continued to be impacted by significant pricing activity by a low-priced local manufacturer and overall market shifts to one-day contact lenses (which do not require the use of lens care solutions).

Asia region pharmaceuticals sales reflect the fourth-quarter 2005 acquisition of Freda, which contributed approximately $9 and $27 in the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. Revenues for Freda declined sequentially from the first quarter, reflecting collateral impact from the MoistureLoc situation, combined with regulatory changes which resulted in the reformulation of certain products and a change in shelf location for others, and lower sales in the hospital channel due to government initiatives. Freda sales rebounded to more normalized levels beginning in the third quarter as these second-quarter issues were largely resolved. Excluding Freda, our Asian pharmaceuticals revenues grew about 10 percent on a constant-currency basis for both the quarter- and year-to-date periods, mainly due to gains from ocular vitamins.

·	Second-quarter and year-to-date constant-currency growth in the cataract and vitreoretinal category was mainly driven by the Akreos line of acrylic IOLs.

·	Refractive category sales declines reflected lower laser and diagnostic equipment placements and lower microkeratome blade revenues as compared to the prior year quarter and year-to-date periods. Partially offsetting those trends was an increase in sales of per-procedure cards and service fees.

2006 lens care amounts reflect the impact of the voluntary recall of MoistureLoc discussed in Recent Developments above and in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 15 — Market Withdrawal of MoistureLoc Lens Care Solution. Provisions for sales returns and consumer rebates associated with the recall reduced year-to-date lens care net sales by $19.1.

Second-quarter 2006 net sales include $9 in incremental sales from the acquisition of Freda. Year-to-date 2006 net sales include the impact of approximately $19 in customer returns and rebate provisions associated with the voluntary recall of MoistureLoc contact lens solution, which partially offset $27 in incremental sales from Freda. Second-quarter 2005 net sales include $3 sales from Woehlk prior to its divestiture. Year-to-date 2005 net sales include $7 of Woehlk-related sales.

Page 40

Contact lens sales declined 6 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, or 5 percent in constant currency. Overall growth in our PureVision lines of silicone hydrogel contact lenses was somewhat offset by collateral negative impacts on our Asian contact lens business resulting from the MoistureLoc situation, lower sales of two-week contact lenses in Japan, and lower sales of older technology products (reflecting ongoing product rationalization initiatives). Additionally, prior-year sales include results from our Woehlk business in Germany which has since been divested. Removing Woehlk results from the prior year, second-quarter constant-currency contact lens sales would have declined approximately 3 percent and year-to-date sales would have increased by a similar amount.

Second-quarter lens care sales declines were driven by our lines of multipurpose solutions and reflect market share losses and lost sales associated with uncertainty related to the MoistureLoc situation. For the year-to-date period, declines also reflect the returns provisions and charges associated with the MoistureLoc recall. Excluding those charges, year-to-date lens care sales declined 18 percent, or 17 percent on a constant-currency basis.

Pharmaceutical net sales growth includes the impact of the Freda acquisition. Excluding revenues from Freda, second-quarter constant-currency growth was approximately 3 percent and year-to-date growth was approximately 6 percent. That growth was mainly due to gains in excess of 20 percent for our lines of ocular vitamins and higher sales of anti-inflammatory drugs and dry eye medications, as well as incremental sales of Retisert drug delivery implants, partially offset by declines in certain non-ophthalmic multisource products. Second-quarter gains also reflect higher sales of Zylet combination ophthalmic drops and a generic nasal product in the United States, and declines in sales of allergy and general eye care products. For the year-to-date period, the previously described sales increases were somewhat offset by declines for Zylet ophthalmic drops, reflecting the impact of initial pipeline shipments that were recorded in the prior-year first quarter.

Cataract and vitreoretinal product category growth was led by our lines of IOLs, which grew more than 5 percent in the quarter and more than 10 percent for the year-to-date period in constant currency. The Akreos lines of acrylic foldable IOLs led the overall growth, with constant-currency sales up more than 10 percent in the quarter and more than 15 percent for the first six months of 2006. Revenues from phacoemulsification products declined about 2 percent in the second quarter and about 1 percent on a year-to-date basis, as higher sales of disposable products were offset by lower equipment sales as customers await the launch of our next-generation microsurgical system.

·	Net sales declines in the refractive category reflected lower equipment and microkeratome blade sales, partially offset by higher per-procedure card fees.

Costs and Expenses and Operating Earnings

The following table shows operating costs and expenses as a percentage of sales for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006 and June 25, 2005:

	Second Quarter Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 1, 2006			(Restated) June 25, 2005			July 1, 2006			(Restated) June 25, 2005
Cost of products sold		43.7	%		40.5	%		43.7	%		41.2	%
Selling, administrative and general		44.8	%		39.5	%		43.6	%		40.2	%
Research and development		8.7	%		7.5	%		8.4	%		7.3	%

Cost of products sold totaled $250 and $245 in the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $489 and $478 for the respective year-to-date periods. The higher cost of products sold to sales ratio in the second quarter of 2006 mainly reflects unfavorable sales mix shifts resulting from lower lens care category sales following the MoistureLoc recall. For the year-to-date period, costs associated with the MoistureLoc recall ($5) were also a contributing factor, partially mitigated by positive foreign currency impacts.

Page 41

Selling, administrative and general expenses (SGA) totaled $256 in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $239 in 2005. For the year-to-date period, SGA spending was $487 in 2006 and $467 in 2005. Higher spending for both the quarter and year-to-date periods reflected incremental expenses from Freda, combined with higher marketing and selling expenses related primarily to brand and distribution rebuilding initiatives following the MoistureLoc withdrawal, and costs associated with refinancing a portion of our long-term debt through a May tender offer combined with higher legal and auditing fees associated with the Audit Committee investigations and restatement of prior years’ financial statements. For the year-to-date period, the increase is also due to spending of $3 associated with the MoistureLoc recall. These higher expenses were somewhat offset by lower administrative expenses, reflecting favorable mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities and lower accruals for annual bonuses due to 2006 financial performance.

R&D expenses totaled $50 in the 2006 second quarter, compared to $45 in 2005. On a year-to-date basis, R&D expense totaled $94 in 2006 and $85 in 2005.

As a result of the above factors, operating earnings for the second quarter of 2006 were $16 and represented 2.8 percent of sales, versus $76 and 12.5 percent of sales in 2005. For the first six months of the year, operating earnings were $49 or 4.3 percent of sales in 2006 compared to $131 or 11.3 percent of sales in 2005.

Non-Operating Income and Expense

Other Income and Expense Interest and investment income was $7 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $3 in 2005. For the year-to-date period, interest and investment income totaled $16 in 2006 and $7 in 2005. These increases mainly reflect higher average interest rates in 2006, combined with higher investment balances in 2006 following the late 2005 borrowing and repatriation of funds under the provisions of the AJCA.

Interest expense was $18 in the second quarter 2006, compared to $15 in the 2005 period. On a year-to-date basis, interest expense was $34 in 2006 and $26 in 2005. That reflected incremental interest expense on amounts borrowed late in 2005 as part of repatriation programs under the AJCA; fees associated with the consent solicitations and bank waivers obtained in 2006 and discussed in Liquidity and Financial Resources below; and higher interest rates on variable-rate debt, partially offset by interest expense savings associated with debt retired in 2005.

Net foreign currency losses were $2 in the second quarter of 2006 and $3 year-to-date, and essentially zero in both 2005 periods. These amounts were primarily associated with our ongoing foreign exchange hedging programs.

Income Taxes For the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a provision of $18 on pre-tax income of $2, representing an effective rate of 866.7 percent. The difference of $17 between the recorded provision of $18 and the provision of $1 that would result from applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35 percent is primarily attributable to losses generated within the United States for which the Company did not record a corresponding tax benefit, interest on tax reserves accrued in prior years, and the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

For the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a provision of $25 on pre-tax income of $63, representing an effective rate of 39.8 percent. The difference of $3 between the recorded provision of $25 and the provision of $22 that would result from applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35 percent is primarily attributable to a discrete tax charge relating to tax rate changes, and the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

For the first six months of 2006, the Company recorded a provision of $30 on pre-tax income of $27, representing an effective rate of 114.0 percent. The difference of $21 between the recorded provision of $30 and the provision of $9 that would result from applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35 percent is primarily attributable to losses generated within the United States for which the Company did not record a corresponding tax benefit, interest on tax reserves accrued in prior years, and the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

For the first six months of 2005, the Company recorded a provision of $39 on pre-tax income of $111, representing an effective rate of 34.6 percent. The difference between the 2005 year-to-date effective tax rate of 34.6 percent and the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent is primarily attributable to the geographic mix of income before taxes from operations outside of the United States and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions, partially offset by a discrete tax charge related to tax rate changes.

Our effective tax rate is based on non-recurring events as well as recurring factors including the geographic mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions. In addition, our effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other non-recurring events that may not be predictable.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $489 at the end of the second quarter of 2006, compared to $518 in the second quarter of 2005 and $721 at the end of 2005.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities Operating activities provided $26 of cash through the first six months of 2006. Positive earnings (adjusted for non-cash items) and lower accounts receivable were somewhat offset by cash payments for taxes and interest and higher inventories associated with new product launches. We generated $90 from operating activities in the first six months of 2005, with earnings performance being partially offset by higher inventories to accommodate new product launches and increased working capital requirements. Average days sales outstanding were 69 days in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 70 days in 2005. Average inventory months on hand were 5.7 in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 4.9 in 2005.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities We used $102 for investing activities through the first six months of 2006, mainly related to the acquisition of businesses and capital expenditures. Acquisition-related cash outflows totaled $34 and were primarily associated with the final payment for Freda and the purchase of certain intellectual property rights in the cataract product category. Capital spending of $67 mainly reflected the installation of additional contact lens manufacturing equipment and the ongoing expansion of our U.S. R&D facility. Cash used in investing activities in 2005 totaled $50 and mainly reflected capital expenditures of $36 and $13 for the acquisition of intangible assets, including product rights in connection with the FDA approval of Zylet ophthalmic suspension and a license agreement to commercialize Lotemax in South Korea.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities We used $160 for financing activities through the first six months of 2006. Outflows mainly represented $116 to retire debt following our May tender offer, the repayment of $27 borrowings against a line of credit that had been used to finance the Freda acquisition, and $14 to pay dividends. We also used $2 to purchase shares of our Common stock under our ongoing share repurchase authorization, stock compensation plans and deferred compensation plans. Shares repurchased pursuant to our authorized purchase programs were 18,601 shares at an average price of $60.53 per share. Net cash outflows for financing activities were $15 through the first six months of 2005. The outflows primarily consisted of $42 to purchase shares of our Common stock under our ongoing share repurchase authorization, stock compensation plans and deferred compensation plans and $14 to pay dividends, somewhat offset by cash inflows of $44 from stock option exercises. Shares repurchased pursuant to our authorized purchase programs were 530,000 shares at an average price of $74.98 per share.

Sources of Liquidity Our total long-term borrowings, including current portion, totaled $849 at the end of the second quarter of 2006, compared to $992 at the end of 2005 and $644 in the year-ago quarter. The increase from the year-ago period primarily reflects borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2005 as part of our activities to repatriate offshore profits under the AJCA. The ratio of total debt to capital was 38.7 percent as of July 1, 2006, 43.6 percent at year-end 2005 and 32.3 percent in June 2005.

We believe our existing credit facilities, in conjunction with the financing activities mentioned below, provide adequate liquidity to meet our obligations, fund capital expenditures and invest in potential growth opportunities. However, we note that we have previously obtained and may need in the future to obtain waivers and/or concessions from lenders under existing credit arrangements, as discussed further below, and we note risk factors associated with contingent obligations of the Company, including those noted in the Legal Matters section of this MD&A.

Page 43

Credit Facilities In July 2005, we replaced our prior $250 syndicated revolving credit facility scheduled to expire in January 2008 with a new five-year, $400 syndicated revolving credit facility. The terms of the current revolving credit facility include our option to increase the limit to $550 at any time during the five-year term. The interest rate under the agreement is based on our credit rating and, at our option, LIBOR or the base rate of one of the lending banks. The existing credit facility includes financial covenants similar in nature to covenants contained in the former, which require us to maintain certain EBITDA to interest and debt ratios. In the event a violation of the financial covenants occurs, the facility would not be available for borrowing until the covenant provisions were waived, amended or satisfied. In November 2005, and subsequently in February, May, August and December 2006 and January 2007, we obtained waivers from our banks of any breach of representation or covenant under the revolving credit agreement, related to or any default associated with, the events related to the Brazil and Korea investigations, or from the impact of such events to the extent that they did not result in reductions in after-tax profits of more than $50 in aggregate. The waivers also extended the deadline to file our required annual financial statements for 2005 (including restatements for certain prior periods) and 2006 until April 30, 2007. Delivery of all financial statements for 2006 required by our financial reporting obligations under the revolving credit facility was satisfied by the filing of our 2006 Form 10-K and delivery of all required financial statements for 2005 was satisfied when we filed our 2005 Form 10-K. The impact of the Brazil and Korea investigations did not exceed $50 in aggregate as discussed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 2 — Restatement of our 2005 Form 10-K. In April 2007, we obtained amendments from our banks modifying the debt covenants for the fourth quarter of 2006 to ensure there were no breaches of our financial covenants under the revolving credit agreement. As reported in our Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 on May 10, 2007, we were unable to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2007. However, that filing was made on May 30, 2007.

On May 25, 2007, we obtained waivers from our banks with respect to any default that could arise under the revolving credit agreement in connection with entering into the definitive merger agreement with affiliates of Warburg Pincus (see Recent Developments, Merger Agreement with Warburg Pincus LLC).

There were no violations of our financial covenants during the quarter ended July 1, 2006 or year ended December 31, 2005. We had no outstanding borrowings under syndicated revolving credit agreements as of July 1, 2006 or December 31, 2005.

A number of subsidiary companies outside the United States have credit facilities to meet their liquidity requirements. There were $27 of outstanding borrowings under these non-U.S. credit facilities as of December 31, 2005. There were no outstanding borrowings as of July 1, 2006. The non-U.S. credit facilities' covenants require our subsidiaries to make payments when due and to comply with local laws. There were no covenant violations under the non-U.S. credit facilities during the quarter ended July 1, 2006 or year ended December 31, 2005.

Bank Term Loans In November 2005, our Dutch subsidiary entered into a $375 BV Term Loan. The facility involves a syndicate of banks and is guaranteed by us. The December 2005 borrowing under the BV Term Loan was a component of our efforts to repatriate foreign earnings from non-U.S. legal entities under the provisions of the AJCA (see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 10 — Provision for Income Taxes of our 2006 Form 10-K for further discussion of the AJCA). Borrowings under the BV Term Loan totaled $375 at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and are due in December 2010, unless otherwise extended under the terms of the agreement. The interest rate is based on six-month LIBOR and is reset on a semiannual basis. The BV Term Loan includes covenants which require us to maintain certain EBITDA to interest and debt ratios. The initial interest rate was set at 5.0 percent. In February, May, August and December 2006, and again in January 2007, we obtained waivers from our banks of any breach of representation or covenant under the term loan agreement, related to or any default associated with, the events related to the Brazil and Korea investigations, or from the impact of such events to the extent that they did not result in reductions in after-tax profits of more than $50 in aggregate. The waivers also extended the deadline to file annual financial statements for 2005 (including restatements for certain prior periods) and 2006 until April 30, 2007. Delivery of all required financial statements for 2006 required by our financial reporting obligations under the term loan facility was satisfied by the filing of the 2006 Form 10-K and delivery of all required financial statements for 2005 was satisfied when we filed our 2005 Form 10-K. The impact of the Brazil and Korea investigations did not exceed $50 in aggregate as discussed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 2 — Restatement of our 2005 Form 10-K. In April 2007, we obtained amendments from our banks modifying the debt covenants to ensure there were no violations of our financial covenants under the BV Term Loan during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006. There were no violations of our financial covenants during the quarter ended July 1, 2006 or the year ended December 31, 2005. As reported in our Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 on May 10, 2007, we were unable to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2007. However, that filing was made on May 30, 2007.

On May 25, 2007, we obtained waivers from our banks with respect to any default that could arise under the BV Term Loan in connection with entering into the definitive merger agreement with affiliates of Warburg Pincus (see Recent Developments, Merger Agreement with Warburg Pincus LLC).

In July 2005, we agreed to guarantee, on behalf of our Japanese subsidiary, a variable-rate bank term loan facility denominated in Japanese yen, in an amount approximately equivalent to $50. This term loan was also established in connection with the repatriation of foreign earnings under the provisions of the AJCA. The facility will mature in July 2010. The outstanding borrowings under this Japanese term loan were approximately $48 at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The Japanese term loan covenants require our subsidiary to submit its statutory financial statements to the lenders once a year and to maintain a positive balance of net assets. There were no covenant violations under the Japanese term loan during the quarter ended July 1, 2006 or the year ended December 31, 2005.

Capital Markets Offerings We are required to file periodic financial reports with the SEC to comply with certain covenants in our public debt indenture. As a result of our inability to file timely our Forms 10-K for 2005 and 2006, and our quarterly financial statements for third quarter of 2005 and all quarters of 2006, we sought waivers from holders of our outstanding debt. In September 2006, and subsequently in January 2007 we announced a solicitation of consents with respect to all series of outstanding debt securities and outstanding convertible debt. The solicitations sought, for a fee, permission from the holders for amendments to the indenture applicable to each series of notes that would, among other things, extend our deadline to file periodic reports with the SEC and to deliver compliance certificates to the Trustee under each indenture. The most recent consents extended the deadline to file required annual reports until April 30, 2007. We received the requisite number of consents for all series of outstanding debt securities and outstanding convertible debt. Delivery of all required financial statements for 2005 and 2006 was satisfied by the filing of our 2005 and 2006 Forms 10-K.

In May 2006, we announced a tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to $384 of outstanding debt, and a consent solicitation with respect to $160 of outstanding convertible debt. The consents requested in this solicitation were similar to the consents in the solicitation announced in September 2006 and January 2007, except that our deadline to file periodic reports with the SEC and to deliver compliance certificates to the Trustee was October 2, 2006. On June 5, 2006, we announced that $116 of the $384 aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt had been tendered, and these obligations were repaid. Furthermore, we received the requisite number of consents necessary to grant the waivers sought at that time. In October 2006, we retired an additional $18 of this outstanding debt.

In December 2004, we completed an offer to exchange up to $160 of variable-rate convertible senior notes due in 2023 (the Old Notes) for an equal amount of 2004 Senior Convertible Securities due 2023 (New Securities). The terms of the New Securities are largely consistent with those of the Old Notes except that settlement upon conversion of the New Securities will be paid in cash up to the principal amount of the converted New Securities with any excess of the conversion value settled in shares of our Common stock. An amount equal to $156 of the Old Notes was tendered in exchange for an equal amount of the New Securities. On June 17, 2005, the conversion right was triggered giving the holders the option to convert the Old Notes and the New Securities beginning July 1, 2005. In the event a holder elects to convert its note, we expect to fund a cash settlement of any such conversion from borrowings under our syndicated revolving credit agreement.

A $100 tranche of our long-term debt originally due in 2015 allowed remarketing agents to call the debt from the holders in 2005, and in certain cases remarket the debt at a higher interest rate than the then-current market rate. Following a downgrade of our debt rating by Moody's Investors Service in March 2002, the agents exercised their right to put the remarketing agreements back to us. As a result of this action, the debt matured and was repaid in 2005.

Access to Financial Markets As of July 1, 2006, our long-term debt was rated BBB by Standard & Poor's, BBB- by Fitch Ratings, and Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service. Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings each described our outlook as negative. Moody’s had placed our credit rating on review for possible downgrade. This action was prompted by our failure to file timely financial statements with the SEC and by concerns related to the Audit Committee investigations into allegations in Brazil and Korea and our decision to suspend sales of MoistureLoc solution from our U.S. plant.

On February 2, 2007, Moody's lowered our credit rating to Ba1 primarily reflecting Moody's belief that revenue growth for 2007 will be lower than their previous expectations.

Following the announcement of our proposed merger with Warburg Pincus, on May 16, 2007, Standard & Poor’s lowered its credit rating on our debt to BB+ and placed the Company on credit watch with negative implications.

Page 45

Until current periodic reports and financial statements are filed, we could be limited from using certain forms of registering our securities with the SEC for offer and sale. This may preclude us from raising debt or equity financing in the public markets.

Working Capital Working capital was $638 and $566 at the end of the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. At year-end 2005, working capital was $618. The current ratio was 1.8 at the end of the second quarter of 2006, 1.6 at the end of the second quarter of 2005, and 1.6 at year-end 2005.

Other Financial Data

Dividends Our Board of Directors declared dividends of $0.13 per share on our Common stock in the first and second quarters of both 2006 and 2005.

Return on Equity Return on average shareholders' equity was negative 4.1 percent in the twelve months ended July 1, 2006 and positive 12.9 percent for the twelve months ended June 25, 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In the 2005 Form 10-K and the 2006 Form 10-K, we disclosed our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations. At June 25, 2005 and July 1, 2006, there have been no material changes to off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2005 Form 10-K and the 2006 Form 10-K.

New Accounting Guidance

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded $18 as a cumulative effect adjustment reducing shareholders' equity, largely related to state income tax matters and partially offset by federal matters considered to be effectively settled.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

A sensitivity analysis to measure the potential impact that a change in foreign currency exchange rates would have on the Company's results of operations indicates that, if the U.S. dollar strengthened against all foreign currencies by 10 percent the Company would realize net losses of approximately $16 on foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at July 1, 2006. Such net losses would be substantially offset by net gains from the revaluation or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.

At July 1, 2006, the Company’s floating rate liabilities exceeded its floating rate assets. A sensitivity analysis to measure the potential impact that a change in interest rates would have on the Company's results of operations indicates that a one-percentage point increase in interest rates, which represents a greater than 10 percent change, would increase its financial expense by approximately $1 on an annualized basis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, as well as our inability to file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the statutory time period, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of July 1, 2006, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As more fully described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in Item 9A of our 2005 Annual Report, management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, which also existed as of July 1, 2006:

The Company did not: (1) maintain an effective control environment because the Company did not: (i) adequately and consistently reinforce the importance of adherence to controls and the Company's code of conduct; (ii) institute all elements of an effective program to help prevent and detect fraud by Company employees; (iii) establish and maintain effective corporate and regional oversight and monitoring of operations to detect subsidiaries’ managements’ override of established financial controls and accounting policies; and (iv) maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the application of GAAP; (2) maintain effective controls to provide reasonable assurance of the completeness and accuracy of certain financial statement accounts in certain subsidiaries; (3) maintain effective controls over certain subsidiaries’ relationships with their key distributors, particularly in the Company’s Korea, Japan and India subsidiaries, and over the installation of refractive laser surgery equipment in multiple locations where the Company does business, to ensure that revenue associated with such distributor and laser sales was recognized in accordance with GAAP; and (4) maintain effective controls over the determination and reporting of its income tax payable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the related valuation allowances, income tax expense and indirect taxes.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The Company has engaged in, and is continuing to engage in, substantial efforts to address the material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter, the Company has remediated the material weakness related to maintaining effective controls to ensure that the Company's deferred compensation Plan document was amended to accurately reflect the Plan's intended design by amending the Plan and requiring formal review and approval of all new or amended employee benefit plans by Corporate Technical Accounting.

Page 49

As more fully described in the Remediation of Certain Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting section of Item 9A of the 2005 Form 10-K the remediation that occurred subsequent to December 31, 2005 focused on: (1) terminating or replacing several individuals within our Brazilian, Korean and Asian operations; (2) appointing a Vice President, Compliance and a Vice President, Financial Compliance; (3) enhancing the whistleblower program related to the communication, investigation and resolution of whistleblower activities; (4) expanding management’s ongoing communications regarding importance of adherence to internal controls; (5) realigning the global finance organization and modifying performance objectives to be more heavily weighted to internal control and financial reporting; (6) instituting a comprehensive fraud and compliance risk assessment program; (7) formalizing and augmenting entity wide and corporate monitoring controls; (8) holding a global controller’s conference focusing on areas identified in the material weaknesses; (9) expanding the staff and coverage of Internal Audit; (10) initiating a program to provide additional training to finance, accounting and tax professionals regarding new and evolving areas in U.S. GAAP; (11) developing a training program for certain non-finance employees on integrity of financial reporting and controls, and ethics and compliance; (12) completing a comprehensive review of accounting for income taxes including certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, taxes payable and tax reserves; (13) initiating a process to improve proper tracking of deferred tax assets and liabilities; (14) hiring and training additional senior tax staff with expertise in accounting for income taxes; (15) redesigning internal controls around income taxes; (16) augmenting the quarterly financial reporting and close process using an expanded Quarterly Close Checklist; (17) enhancing key control activities related to revenue recognition on laser installations and, sales to distributor/wholesalers; and (18) implementing a process requiring all subsidiaries outside of the United States to use one global professional tax advisor.

The Company believes that these remediation efforts will continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures. However, as more fully described in the 2006 Form 10-K not all of the material weaknesses described above were remediated by December 30, 2006, our next reporting “as of” date under Section 404. The Company will continue to take steps to remediate known material weaknesses as soon as practicable.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting As described above, there were changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2006 and continued throughout 2006 to remediate the 2005 material weaknesses that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continuing to implement the global enterprise reporting system, and in that process, expects that there will be future material changes in internal controls as a result of this implementation.
