NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General
The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “Integra” refer to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.
In the opinion of management, the March 31, 2007 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2006 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns, net realizable value of inventories, estimates of future cash flows associated with long-lived asset valuations, depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, fair value estimates of stock-based compensation awards, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, estimates of amounts to be paid to employees and other exit costs to be incurred in connection with the restructuring of our operations and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 specifies the way public companies are to account for uncertainty in income tax reporting, and prescribes a methodology for recognizing, reversing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Company recorded a $2.0 million increase to reserves resulting in a “cumulative effect” decrease to opening retained earnings of $1.7 million as of January 1, 2007 and an increase to goodwill of $0.3 million as the tax reserve relates to a recent acquisition. Including this “cumulative effect” adjustment, the Company had unrecognized tax reserves of $8.1 million at January 1, 2007, of which $1.1 million related to accrued interest and penalties. In 2007, these unrecognized tax benefits are classified as long-term income taxes payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and, if recognized, $2.8 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company accrued an additional $0.1 million in unrecognized tax benefits and $0.1 million of interest related to its uncertain tax positions, all of which is recorded as a component of the Company’s provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2007 the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $8.3 million accrued in the balance sheet.

Table of Contents

The Company files Federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state, local and foreign jurisdiction tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) through fiscal 2002. All significant state and local matters have been concluded through fiscal 2003. All significant foreign matters have been settled through fiscal 2001. The IRS has begun an examination of the tax returns of the Company’s subsidiary in Puerto Rico for fiscal 2004. The Company does not anticipate that any material adjustments will result from this examination. Other than this matter, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Other Matters
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157—Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS 157. This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurement of a company’s assets and liabilities. This standard also requires that the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and, generally, must be applied prospectively. The Company expects to adopt this standard beginning in January 2008. Currently, management is evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 — The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). The Statement provides companies an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The intent of SFAS 159 is to reduce the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years after November 15, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.
2.   BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
DenLite
On January 3, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary Miltex, Inc. acquired the DenLite product line from Welch Allyn in an asset purchase for $2.2 million in cash paid at closing and $35,000 of acquisition-related expenses. This transaction was treated as a business combination. DenLite is a lighted mouth mirror used in dental procedures.
The following summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousand):
             
Inventory
  $ 454      
 
           
Property, plant and equipment
    339     Wtd. Avg. Life
 
           
 
           
Intangible assets:

Goodwill
    207      
 
         
 
           
Net assets acquired
  $ 2,235      
 
         
Management determined the preliminary fair value of assets acquired during the first quarter 2007. Certain elements of the purchase price allocation are considered preliminary, particularly as it relates to the final valuation of certain identifiable intangible assets.
Radionics
On March 3, 2006, the Company acquired the assets of the Radionics Division of Tyco Healthcare Group, L.P. for approximately $74.5 million in cash paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments, and $3.2 million of acquisition-related expenses in a transaction treated as a business combination. Radionics, based in Burlington, Massachusetts, is a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of advanced minimally invasive medical instruments in the fields of neurosurgery and radiation therapy. Radionics’ products include the CUSA EXcel® ultrasonic surgical aspiration system, the CRW® stereotactic system, the XKnife® stereotactic radiosurgery system, and the OmniSight® EXcel image-guided surgery system.
Miltex
On May 12, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Miltex Holdings, Inc. (“Miltex”) for $102.7 million in cash paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments, and $0.7 million of transaction related costs. Miltex, based in York, Pennsylvania, is a leading provider of surgical and dental hand instruments to alternate site facilities, which includes physician and dental offices and ambulatory surgery care sectors. Miltex sells products under the Miltex®, Meisterhand®, Vantage®, Moyco®, Union Broach®, and Thompson® trade names in over 65 countries, using a network of independent distributors. Miltex operates a manufacturing and distribution facility in York, Pennsylvania and also operates a leased facility in Tuttlingen, Germany, where Miltex’s staff coordinates design, production and delivery of instruments.
Canada Microsurgical
On July 5, 2006, we acquired a direct sales force in Canada through the acquisition of our longstanding distributor, Canada Microsurgical Ltd. Canada Microsurgical has eight sales representatives covering each province in Canada. We paid $5.8 million (6.4 million Canadian dollars) for Canada Microsurgical at closing and $0.1 million of transaction related costs. In addition, we may pay up to an additional 2.1 million Canadian dollars over the next three years, depending on the performance of the business.
KMI
On July 31, 2006 we acquired the shares of Kinetikos Medical, Inc. (“KMI”) for $39.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, including future payments based on the performance of the KMI business after the acquisition. KMI, based in Carlsbad, California, was a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative orthopedic implants and surgical devices for small bone and joint procedures involving the foot, ankle, hand, wrist and elbow. KMI marketed products that addressed both the trauma and reconstructive segments of the extremities market. KMI’s reconstructive products are largely focused on treating deformities and arthritis in small joints of the upper and lower extremity, while its trauma products are focused on the treatment of fractures of small bones most commonly found in the extremities.

Table of Contents

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 as if the acquisitions completed by the Company during 2006 and 2007 had been completed as of the beginning of 2006. The pro forma results are based upon certain assumptions and estimates, and they give effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisitions and adjustments to reflect increased interest expense, depreciation expense, intangible asset amortization, and income taxes at a rate consistent with the Company’s statutory rate in each year. No effect has been given to cost reductions or operating synergies. As a result, these pro forma results do not necessarily represent results that would have occurred if the acquisitions had taken place on the basis assumed above, nor are they indicative of the results of future combined operations.

Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair market value at the time of acquisition generally using an income or cost approach.
5.   RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
In October 2006, we announced plans to restructure our French sales and marketing organization, which includes elimination of a number of positions at our Biot, France facility, and closings of our facility in Nantes, France. These activities will be transferred to the sales and marketing headquarters in Lyon, France and should be completed in 2007.

6.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As of March 31, 2007, the Company had stock options, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards, contract stock awards and restricted stock unit awards outstanding under seven plans, the 1993 Incentive Stock Option and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the 1993 Plan), the 1996 Incentive Stock Option and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan), the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan), the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan), the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan), the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2001 Plan), and the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2003 Plan, and collectively, the Plans). No new awards may be granted under the 1993 Plan or the 1996 Plan.
Stock options issued under the Plans become exercisable over specified periods, generally within four years from the date of grant for officers, employees and consultants, and generally expire six years from the grant date. The transfer and non-forfeiture provisions of restricted stock issued under the Plans lapse over specified periods, generally three years after the date of grant.
Stock Options
The following is a summary of stock option activity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 (shares in thousands):

    1,981     $ 26.33       3.6     $38.1 million
The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $4.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The company did not grant stock options during the three-months ended March 31, 2007, and the weighted-average per share fair value of stock options granted during the three-months ended March 31, 2006 was $15.04.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2007, there was approximately $16.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.
The fair value of options granted prior to October 1, 2004 was calculated using the Black-Scholes model, while the fair value of options granted on or after October 1, 2004 was calculated using the binomial distribution model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price with forward-looking assumptions. The expected life of stock options is estimated based on historical data on exercises of stock options, post-vesting forfeitures and other factors to estimate the expected term of the stock options granted. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for instruments with a remaining term similar to the expected life of the options. In addition, the Company applies an expected forfeiture rate when amortizing stock-based compensation expense. The estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon historical experience of employee turnover. As individual grant awards become fully vested, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted to recognize actual forfeitures. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions to calculate the fair value for stock options granted during the following periods:
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,  
    2007     2006  
 
               
Dividend yield
          0 %
Expected volatility
          43 %
Risk free interest
          4.3 %
Expected life of option from grant date
        5.4 years
The Company received proceeds of $7.5 million and $5.0 million from stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Awards of Restricted Stock, Performance Stock and Contract Stock
The following is a summary of awards of restricted stock, performance stock and contract stock for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 (shares in thousands):

    204     $ 38.27       218     $ 35.41  
 
                           
Performance stock awards have performance features associated with them. Performance stock, restricted stock and contract stock awards generally have requisite service periods of three years. The fair value of these awards is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. As of March 31, 2007, there was approximately $9.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.7 years. The Company granted 9,724 restricted stock awards with a weighted average fair value of $42.53 during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The Company has no formal policy related to the repurchase of shares for the purpose of satisfying stock-based compensation obligations. Independent of these programs, the Company does have a practice of repurchasing shares, from time to time, in the open market.
The Company also maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP), which provides eligible employees of the Company with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock at periodic intervals by means of accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP was amended in 2005 to eliminate the look-back option and to reduce the discount available to participants to five percent. Accordingly, the ESPP is a non-compensatory plan under Statement 123(R).

10.   SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company’s management reviews financial results and manages the business on an aggregate basis. Therefore, financial results are reported in a single operating segment, the development, manufacture and marketing of medical devices for use in cranial and spinal procedures, peripheral nerve repair, small bone and joint injuries, and the repair and reconstruction of soft tissue.
The Company presents its revenues in two categories: Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants and Medical Surgical Equipment. The Company’s revenues were as follows (in thousands):

Certain of the Company’s products, including the DuraGen® and NeuraGen™ product families and the INTEGRA® Dermal Regeneration Template and wound-dressing products, contain material derived from bovine tissue. Products that contain materials derived from animal sources, including food as well as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, are increasingly subject to scrutiny from the press and regulatory authorities. These products constituted 24% and 31% of total revenues in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Accordingly, widespread public controversy concerning collagen products, new regulation, or a ban of the Company’s products containing material derived from bovine tissue could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s current business or its ability to expand its business.

11.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In consideration for certain technology, manufacturing, distribution and selling rights and licenses granted to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay royalties on the sales of products that are commercialized relative to the granted rights and licenses. Royalty payments under these agreements by the Company were not significant for any of the periods presented.
Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings are pending or have been settled by the Company. The most significant of those are described below.
In May 2006, Codman & Shurtleff, Inc. (“Codman”), a division of Johnson & Johnson, commenced an action in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for declaratory judgment against Integra LifeSciences Corporation with respect to United States Patent No. 5,997,895 (the "'895 Patent”) held by Integra. Integra’s patent covers dural repair technology related to Integra’s DuraGen® family of duraplasty products.
The action seeks declaratory relief that Codman’s DURAFORM™ product does not infringe Integra’s patent and that Integra’s patent is invalid and unenforceable. Codman does not seek either damages from Integra or injunctive relief for selling the DuraGen® Dural Graft Matrix. Integra has filed a counterclaim against Codman, alleging that Codman’s DURAFORM™ product infringes the ‘895 Patent, seeking injunctive relief preventing the sale and use of DURAFORM™, and seeking damages, including treble damages, for past infringement.
In July 1996, the Company sued Merck KGaA, a German corporation, seeking damages for patent infringement. The patents in question are part of a group of patents granted to The Burnham Institute and Licensed by Integra that are based on the interaction between a family of cell surface proteins called integrins and the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (“RCG”) peptide sequence found in many extra cellular matrix proteins.
The case has been tried, appealed and returned to the trial court. In September 2004, the trial court ordered Merck KGaA to pay Integra $6.4 million in damages. Merck KGaA filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Circuit Court’s decision, and the Supreme Court granted the writ in January 2005.
On June 13, 2005, the Supreme Court vacated the June 2003 judgment of the Circuit Court. The Supreme Court held that the Circuit Court applied an erroneous interpretation of 35 U.S.C. §271(e)(1) when it rejected the challenge of Merck KGaA to the jury’s finding that Merck KGaA failed to show that its activities were exempt from claims of patent infringement under that statute. On remand, the Circuit Court will review the evidence under a reasonableness test that does not provide categorical exclusions of certain types of activities. Further enforcement of the trial court’s order has been stayed. The Company has not recorded any gain in connection with this matter, pending final resolution and completion of the appeals process.

Table of Contents

In addition to these matters, the Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors and with respect to its products. In the opinion of management, such claims are either adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these contingencies or the costs related thereto.
The Company accrues for loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS 5; that is, when it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. The amounts accrued are based on the full amount of the estimated loss before considering insurance proceeds, and do not include an estimate for legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with the loss contingency. The Company consistently accrues legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies as those fees are incurred by outside counsel as a period cost, as permitted by EITF Topic D-77.
12.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company announced on May 4, 2007 that it had voluntarily withdrawn the Endura™ No-React® Dural Substitute product line. The Company distributes this product which is manufactured by Shelhigh, Inc. The withdrawal was in response to a Public Health Notification by FDA regarding Shelhigh’s manufactured products and a formal request to Shelhigh, Inc that it withdraw its products from the field. The Company recorded a charge of $500,000 in connection with this withdrawal to reserve for inventory on hand and to accrue for estimated product returns. This withdrawal does not affect any other products that we sell.
The Company announced on May 8, 2007 that it has acquired the shares of LXU Healthcare, Inc. (LXU) for $30 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. LXU, based in West Boylston, Massachusetts, is comprised of three businesses:
    Luxtec — The market-leading manufacturer of fiber optic headlight systems for the medical industry through its Luxtec® brand. Luxtec’s headlight systems are used by over 50,000 surgeons worldwide and are the vision systems of choice for training in hospitals and medical schools.
 
    LXU Medical — A leading specialty surgical products distributor with a technically proficient sales force calling on surgeons and key clinical decision makers, covering 18,000 operating rooms in the southeastern, midwestern and mid-Atlantic United States.
 
    Bimeco — A critical care products distributor with direct sales coverage in the southeastern US.
LXU employs approximately 140 employees. After closing, LXU will be operated as part of the Company’s Jarit instruments business activities.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have made statements in this report which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those set forth above under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
You can identify these forward-looking statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “expect,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions in this report.
GENERAL
Integra is a market-leading, innovative medical device company focused on helping the medical professional enhance the standard of care for patients. Integra provides customers with clinically relevant, innovative and cost-effective products that improve the quality of life for patients. We focus on cranial and spinal procedures, peripheral nerve repair, small bone and joint injuries, and the repair and reconstruction of soft tissue.
Our distribution channels include two direct sales organizations (Integra NeuroSciences and Integra Reconstructive Surgery), a network managed by a direct sales organization (Jarit/Miltex Surgical Instruments) and strategic alliances. We have direct sales forces in the United States. Outside of the United States, we sell our products directly through sales representatives in major European markets and through stocking distributors elsewhere. We invest substantial resources and management effort to develop our sales organizations, and we believe that we compete very effectively in this aspect of our business.
We present revenues in two categories: Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants and Medical Surgical Equipment. Our Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants product group includes dural grafts that are indicated for the repair of the dura matter, dermal regeneration and engineered wound dressings, implants used in small bone and joint fixation, repair of peripheral nerves, and hydrocephalus management, and implants used in bone regeneration and in guided tissue regeneration in periodontal surgery. Our Medical Surgical Equipment product group includes ultrasonic surgery systems for tissue ablation, cranial stabilization and brain retraction systems, instrumentation used in general, neurosurgical, spinal and plastic and reconstructive surgery and dental procedures, systems for the measurement of various brain parameters, and devices used to gain access to the cranial cavity and to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain.
We manage these product groups and distribution channels on a centralized basis. Accordingly, we report our financial results under a single operating segment — the development, manufacturing and distribution of medical devices.
We manufacture many of our products in various plants located in the United States, Puerto Rico, France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom. We also manufacture some of our ultrasonic surgical instruments and source most of our hand-held surgical instruments through specialized third-party vendors.
We believe that we have a particular advantage in the development, manufacture and sale of specialty tissue repair products derived from bovine collagen. Products that contain materials derived from animal sources, including food as well as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, are increasingly subject to scrutiny from the press and regulatory authorities. These products comprised 24% and 30% of total revenues in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Accordingly, widespread public controversy concerning collagen products, new regulation, or a ban of the our products containing material derived from bovine tissue, could have a material adverse effect on our current business and our ability to expand our business.

Table of Contents

Our objective is to continue to build a customer-focused and profitable medical device company by developing or acquiring innovative medical devices and other products to sell through our sales channels. Our strategy therefore entails substantial growth in revenues through both internal means — through launching new and innovative products and selling existing products more intensively — and by acquiring existing businesses or already successful product lines.
We aim to achieve this growth in revenues while maintaining strong financial results. While we pay attention to any meaningful trend in our financial results, we pay particular attention to measurements that are indicative of long-term profitable growth. These measurements include revenue growth (derived through acquisitions and products developed internally), gross margins on total revenues, operating margins (which we aim to continually expand on as we leverage our existing infrastructure), and earnings per fully diluted share of common stock.
ACQUISITIONS
Our strategy for growing our business includes the acquisition of complementary product lines and companies. Our recent acquisitions of businesses, assets and product lines may make our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 not directly comparable to those of the corresponding prior-year period. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion. Since the beginning of 2006, we have acquired the following businesses:
On March 3, 2006, Integra acquired certain assets of the Radionics Division of Tyco Healthcare Group, L.P. for approximately $74.5 million in cash paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments, and $3.2 million of acquisition related expenses in a transaction treated as a business combination. Radionics, based in Burlington, Massachusetts, is a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of advanced minimally invasive medical instruments in the fields of neurosurgery and radiation therapy. Radionics’ products include the CUSA EXcel® ultrasonic surgical aspiration system, the CRW® stereotactic system, the XKnife® stereotactic radiosurgery system, and the OmniSight® EXcel image guided surgery system.
Miltex
On May 12, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Miltex Holdings, Inc. (“Miltex”) for $102.7 million in cash paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments, and $0.7 million of transaction related costs. Miltex, based in York, Pennsylvania, is a leading provider of surgical and dental hand instruments to alternate site facilities, which includes physician and dental offices and ambulatory surgery care sectors. Miltex sells products under the Miltex®, Meisterhand®, Vantage®, Moyco®, Union Broach®, and Thompson® trade names in over 65 countries, using a network of independent distributors. Miltex operates a manufacturing and distribution facility in York, Pennsylvania and also operates a leased facility in Tuttlingen, Germany, where Miltex’s staff coordinates design, production and delivery of instruments.
Canada Microsurgical
On July 5, 2006, we acquired a direct sales force in Canada through the acquisition of our longstanding distributor, Canada Microsurgical Ltd. Canada Microsurgical has eight sales representatives covering each province in Canada. We paid $5.8 million (6.4 million Canadian dollars) for Canada Microsurgical at closing and $0.1 million of transaction related costs. In addition, we may pay up to an additional 2.1 million Canadian dollars over the next three years, depending on the performance of the business.
KMI
On July 31, 2006 we acquired the shares of Kinetikos Medical, Inc. (“KMI”) for $39.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, including future payments based on the performance of the KMI business after the acquisition. KMI, based in Carlsbad, California, was a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative orthopedic implants and surgical devices for small bone and joint procedures involving the foot, ankle, hand, wrist and elbow. KMI marketed products that addressed both the trauma and reconstructive segments of the extremities market. KMI’s reconstructive products are largely focused on treating deformities and arthritis in small joints of the upper and lower extremity, while its trauma products are focused on the treatment of fractures of small bones most commonly found in the extremities.

DenLite
On January 3, 2007, our Company’s subsidiary Miltex, Inc. acquired the DenLite product line from Welch Allyn in an asset purchase, for $2.2 million in cash paid at closing, and $35,000 of acquisition-related expenses in a transaction treated as a business combination. DenLite is a lighted mouth mirror to be used in procedures.
IMPACT OF RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
In October 2006, we announced plans to restructure our French sales and marketing organization, which includes elimination of a number of positions at our Biot, France facility, and closings of our facility in Nantes, France. These activities will be transferred to the sales and marketing headquarters in Lyon, France and should be completed in 2007.
In connection with these restructuring activities, we recognized net employee termination costs of $123,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
While we expect to achieve a positive impact from the restructuring and integration activities, such results remain uncertain. We have reinvested most of the savings from these restructuring and integration activities into further expanding our European sales, marketing and distribution organization, and integrating the Radionics and KMI and Newdeal businesses into our existing sales and distribution network.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $9.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $8.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2006. These amounts include the following pre-tax charges (in thousands):

Of these amounts, $0.6 million and $1.1 million were charged to cost of product revenues in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The remaining amounts were primarily charged to selling, general and administrative expenses.
We believe that, given our ongoing, active strategy of seeking new acquisitions and integrating recent acquisitions, our current focus on rationalizing our existing manufacturing and distribution infrastructure, our recent review of various product lines in relation to our current business strategy, and a renewed focus on enterprise business systems integrations, charges similar to those discussed above could recur with similar materiality in the future. We believe that the delineation of these costs provides useful information to measure the comparative performance of our business operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006
Revenues and Gross Margin
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, total revenues increased by $45.9 million, or 60%, to $123.0 million from $77.1 million for the same period last year. Domestic revenues increased by $34.2 million to $91.4 million from $57.2 million, but remained flat as a percentage of total revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period last year.
In the Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants category, sales of our DuraGen® family of products, extremity reconstruction implants and bone growth products led the revenue growth. Rapid growth in nerve and dermal repair products and sales of products for the hand, foot and ankle accounted for much of the increase in implant product revenues. KMI products contributed $2.4 million of sales in the first quarter of 2007.
In the Medical Surgical Equipment category, acquired products, surgical instruments and ultrasonic surgical systems provided most of the year-over-year growth. The growth in this category came across multiple product lines, with our Jarit® surgical instruments, MAYFIELD® cranial fixation systems and our monitoring product lines all generating double-digit growth. Radionics products, Miltex products and non-Integra distributed products sold through our former Canadian distributor (all acquired in 2006) contributed $32.3 million of sales in the first quarter of 2007.
We have generated our product revenue growth through acquisitions, new product launches and increased direct sales and marketing efforts both domestically and in Europe. We expect that our expanded domestic sales force, the continued implementation of our direct sales strategy in Europe and sales of internally developed and acquired products will drive our future revenue growth. We also intend to continue to acquire businesses that complement our existing businesses and products. Many of our recent acquisitions involve businesses or product lines that overlap in some way with our existing products. Our sales and marketing departments are integrating these acquisitions, and there has been, and we expect there will continue to be, some cannibalization of sales of our existing products that will affect our internal growth.
Gross margin increased by $25.3 million to $74.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, from $49.2 million for the same period last year. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue is 61% for the first quarter 2007. Much of this decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue compared to the same period last year comes from the inclusion of significant sales of lower margin Radionics and Miltex products.
We expect that sales of our higher gross margin products will continue to increase as a proportion of total product revenues. We anticipate that the relatively lower gross margins generated from sales of Radionics and Miltex products will offset some of these benefits.

Total other operating expenses
    47 %     46 %
Total other operating expenses, which consist of research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense and amortization expense, increased $22.4 million, or 63%, to $58.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $35.6 million in the first quarter of 2006.
Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2007 increased by $2.9 million to $6.1 million, compared to $3.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased spending on collagen regenerative technology and ultrasonic aspirator product development programs.
In 2007, we expect our research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues to increase as we increase expenditures on research and clinical activities. These activities will be directed toward expanding the indications for use of our absorbable implant technology products, including a multi-center clinical trial suitable to support an application to the FDA for approval of the DuraGen Plus® Adhesion Barrier Matrix product in the United States. The acquired Radionics business also adds to our research and development spending.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2007 increased by $18.0 million to $49.1 million, compared to $31.1 million in the same period last year. Selling expenses increased by $6.9 million primarily due to the accelerated ramp up in our extremities reconstructive, intensive care unit specialist and spine sales forces. Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period last year in connection with the acquisitions of Radionics, Miltex, KMI and Canada Microsurgical businesses.
We will continue to expand our direct sales and marketing organizations in our direct selling platforms and increased corporate staff to support the recent growth in our business and to integrate acquired businesses. Additionally, we have incurred higher operating costs in connection with our recent investments in our infrastructure, including the continued implementation of an enterprise business system and the relocation and expansion of our domestic and international distribution capabilities through third-party service providers. We expect to incur costs related to these activities in 2007 as we complete these on-going activities.
Amortization expense in the first quarter of 2007 increased by $1.5 million to $2.8 million, compared to $1.3 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily related to Miltex and KMI intangible assets acquired in 2006 and DenLite intangible assets acquired in the first quarter of 2007.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased in the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increases in outstanding borrowings under our $300 million senior secured credit facility.
Our reported interest expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, includes $750,000 of cash interest expense on convertible notes. Interest expense of three months period ended March 31, 2006 includes $202,000 of non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs.
We will pay additional interest on our convertible notes under certain conditions. The fair value of this contingent interest obligation is marked to its fair value at each balance sheet date, with changes in the fair value recorded to interest expense. The changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent interest obligation increased interest expense by $168,000 and $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
We had an interest rate swap agreement with a $50 million notional amount to hedge the risk of changes in fair value attributable to interest rate risk with respect to a portion of our fixed rate convertible notes. The net amount to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreement was recorded as a component of interest expense. Interest expense associated with the interest rate swap for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $210,000. On September 27, 2006, we terminated this interest rate swap agreement in connection with the exchange of our convertible notes. As we terminated this swap agreement, we did not incur any expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 associated with this swap.
Other Income
Other income decreased in the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to foreign exchange loss of $117,000 in the first quarter of 2007.

Effective tax rate

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 34% and 33%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate year-over-year was primarily due to the changes in the geographic mix of taxable income attributable to recently acquired businesses.
Our effective tax rate may vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of taxable earnings and losses. We consider these factors and others, including our history of generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realized deferred tax assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, revenues from customers outside the United States totaled $31.7 million, or 26% of total revenues, of which approximately 63% were to European customers. Revenues from customers outside the United States included $19.5 million of revenues generated in foreign currencies. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, revenues from customers outside the United States totaled $19.9 million, or 26% of total revenues, of which approximately 72% were to European customers. Revenues from customers outside the United States included $14.7 million of revenues generated in foreign currencies.
Because we have operations based in Europe and we generate revenues and incur operating expenses in Euros and British pounds, we experience currency exchange risk with respect to those foreign currency denominated revenues or expenses. We currently do not hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk. Accordingly, a weakening of the dollar against the Euro and British pound could negatively affect future gross margins and operating margins. We will continue to assess the potential effects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have on our business. If we believe this potential impact presents a significant risk to our business, we may enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.
Additionally, we generate significant revenues outside the United States, a portion of which are U.S. dollar-denominated transactions conducted with customers who generate revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those customers do business may have an impact on the demand for our products in foreign countries.
Local economic conditions, regulatory or political considerations, the effectiveness of our sales representatives and distributors, local competition and changes in local medical practice all may combine to affect our sales into markets outside the United States.
Relationships with customers and effective terms of sale frequently vary by country, often with longer-term receivables than are typical in the United States.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $29.3 million and $22.7 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Cash provided by operations has recently been and is expected to continue to be our primary means of funding existing operations and capital expenditures. Operating cash flows continued to improve as a result of higher pre-tax income, and improved working capital management.
Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Investing and Financing Activities
Our principal uses of funds during the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $11.1 million paid for the purchase of 264,000 shares of common stock and $3.8 million in capital expenditures. We received $7.5 million from the issuance of common stock through the exercise of stock options during the period. We also borrowed $39.0 million under senior credit facility and paid off $39.0 million loans.

Working Capital
At March 31, 2007 and December 2006, working capital was $(43.9) million and $(52.4) million, respectively. Our convertible securities totaling $120 million are classified as current liabilities on the balance sheet because both the new and old notes are due within twelve months. The increase in working capital is primarily related to the increase of cash and cash equivalents of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2007.
Convertible Debt and Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
We pay interest on our contingent convertible subordinated notes at an annual rate of 2.5% each September 15 and March 15. We will also pay contingent interest on the notes if, at thirty days prior to maturity, our common stock price is greater than $37.56. The contingent interest will be payable at maturity for each of the last three years the notes remain outstanding in an amount equal to the greater of (1) 0.50% of the face amount of the notes and (2) the amount of regular cash dividends paid during each such year on the number of shares of common stock into which each note is convertible. Holders of the notes may convert the notes under certain circumstances, including when the market price of our common stock on the previous trading day is more than $37.56 per share, based on an initial conversion price of $34.15 per share.
The notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company and will be subordinate to any future senior indebtedness. We cannot redeem the notes prior to their maturity, and the note holders may compel us to repurchase the notes upon a change of control. There are no financial covenants associated with the convertible notes.
On September 27, 2006, we concluded an offer to exchange up to $120 million principal amount of new notes with a “net share settlement” mechanism for our then outstanding contingent convertible subordinated notes. As of that date, an aggregate principal amount of $115.2 million of old notes was tendered. On October 20, 2006 an additional $4.3 million of old notes were tendered, bringing the total amount of exchanges to $119.5 million, or 99.6% of the original $120 million principal amount.
The Company has a $300 million, five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility, which it utilizes for working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The Company makes regular borrowings and payments each month against the credit facility and considers the outstanding amounts to be short-term in nature. We amended the credit facility in February 2007 to increase the size of the credit facility to $300 million, which can be increased to $400 million should additional financing be required in the future. We make regular borrowings and payments each month against the credit facility and consider the outstanding amounts to be short-term in nature. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $100 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4% per annum.
The indebtedness under the credit facility is guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the credit facility and the guarantees of the guarantors are secured by a first-priority security interest in all present and future capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interest in) each guarantor and substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ other assets, other than real estate, intellectual property and capital stock of foreign subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate in effect from time to time plus an applicable rate (ranging from 0.375% to 1.25%) or (ii) the higher of (x) the weighted average overnight Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.5%, and (y) the prime commercial lending rate of Bank of America, N.A. plus an applicable rate (ranging from 0% to 0.25%). The applicable rates are based on a financial ratio at the time of the applicable borrowing. We will also pay an annual commitment fee (ranging from 0.10% to 0.20%) on the daily amount by which the commitments under the credit facility exceed the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the credit facility.
The credit facility requires us to maintain various financial covenants, including leverage ratios, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum liquidity ratio. The credit facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those that limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, incur liens, make investments, enter into mergers and acquisitions, liquidate or dissolve, sell or dispose of assets, repurchase stock and pay dividends, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in certain lines of business and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The Company was in compliance with all of our debt covenants during 2006 and 2007.

Share Repurchase Plan
In October 2006, our Board of Directors adopted a new program that authorizes us to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $75 million through December 31, 2007. Shares may be repurchased either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company paid $11.1 million for 264,000 shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2007.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation. Our credit facility limits the amount of dividends that we may pay. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
Capital Resources
We believe that our cash and borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility are sufficient to finance our operations and capital expenditures in the near term. We make regular borrowings and payments each month against the credit facility and consider the outstanding amounts to be short-term in nature. See “Convertible Debt and Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility” for a description of the material terms of our credit facility.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of March 31, 2007, we were obligated to pay the following amounts under various agreements:

OTHER MATTERS
Critical Accounting Estimates
The critical accounting estimates included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 have not materially changed.

Table of Contents

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). Refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements entitled “Basis of Presentation” for further details.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact this provision may have on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 — The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS 159. The Statement provides companies an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The intent of SFAS 159 is to reduce the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. To manage the volatility relating to these typical business exposures, we may enter into various derivative transactions when appropriate. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A discussion of foreign currency exchange risks is provided under the caption “International Product Revenues and Operations” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Interest Rate Risk — Senior Secured Credit Facility
We are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the interest paid under the terms of our senior secured credit facility. A hypothetical 100 basis point movement in interest rates applicable to this credit facility would increase or decrease interest expense by approximately $1.0 million on an annual basis.
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management has designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as a result of the material weakness described below.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we did not maintain effective controls over the review and approval of certain account reconciliations. Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of schedules and underlying data supporting account reconciliations prepared for an accrued liability account and certain intercompany accounts including support for certain manual adjustments which were made. This control deficiency resulted in adjustments to our March 31, 2007 interim consolidated financial statements identified by our external auditors in connection with their quarterly review. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the Company’s accounts that would result in a material misstatement to our interim and annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness
To address the material weakness described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These procedures included:
  identified the affected accounts and performed a thorough review of the reconciliations of those accounts by Company personnel not involved in the initial preparation of those reconciliations;

 

25


Table of Contents

  identified any manual adjustments recorded, reviewed the supporting documentation and concluded on the appropriateness of the entries;
  expanded the review to other group companies with similar accounts and performed similar procedure as outlined above;
  recorded adjustments to the consolidated financial statements to correct the errors identified.
Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
To remediate the material weakness described above and enhance our disclosure controls and procedures, as well as our internal control over financial reporting, management intends to implement the following changes:
  requiring that enhanced reviews be performed by the corporate controller and others within the finance function;
  providing training to employees involved with the reconciliation process; and
  modifying our existing systems to minimize the number of manual overrides that require human involvement.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEDINGS
Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings are pending or have been settled by us. The most significant of those are described below.
In May 2006, Codman & Shurtleff, Inc., a division of Johnson & Johnson, commenced an action in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for declaratory judgment against Integra LifeSciences Corporation with respect to United States Patent No. 5,997,895 (the “‘895 Patent”) held by Integra. Integra’s patent covers dural repair technology related to Integra’s DuraGen® family of duraplasty products.
The action seeks declaratory relief that Codman’s DURAFORM™ product does not infringe Integra’s patent and that Integra’s patent is invalid and unenforceable. Codman does not seek either damages from Integra or injunctive relief to prevent Integra from selling the DuraGen® Dural Graft Matrix. Integra has filed a counterclaim against Codman, alleging that Codman’s DURAFORM™ product infringes the ‘895 Patent, seeking injunctive relief preventing the sale and use of DURAFORM™, and seeking damages, including treble damages, for past infringement.
In July 1996, Integra sued Merck KGaA, a German corporation, seeking damages for patent infringement. The patents in question are part of a group of patents granted to The Burnham Institute and licensed by Integra that are based on the interaction between a family of cell surface proteins called integrins and the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (“RGD”) peptide sequence found in many extracellular matrix proteins.
The case has been tried, appealed and returned to the trial court. In September 2004, the trial court ordered Merck KGaA to pay Integra $6.4 million in damages. Merck KGaA filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Circuit Court’s decision, and the Supreme Court granted the writ in January 2005.
On June 13, 2005, the Supreme Court vacated the June 2003 judgment of the Circuit Court. The Supreme Court held that the Circuit Court applied an erroneous interpretation of 35 U.S.C. §271(e)(1) when it rejected the challenge of Merck KGaA to the jury’s finding that Merck KGaA failed to show that its activities were exempt from claims of patent infringement under that statute. On remand, the Circuit Court was to have reviewed the evidence under a reasonableness test that does not provide categorical exclusions of certain types of activities. The hearing before the Circuit Court occurred in June 2006, and a ruling is expected in 2007. Further enforcement of the trial court’s order has been stayed. We have not recorded any gain in connection with this matter, pending final resolution and completion of the appeals process.
In addition to these matters, we are subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors and with respect to our products. In the opinion of management, such claims are either adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, it is possible that our results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these contingencies or the costs related thereto.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
The Risk Factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 have not materially changed other than the modifications to the risks factors as set forth below.
Our Current Strategy Involves Growth Through Acquisitions, Which Requires Us To Incur Substantial Costs And Potential Liabilities For Which We May Never Realize The Anticipated Benefits.
In addition to internal growth, our current strategy involves growth through acquisitions. Since the beginning of 2004, we have acquired 12 businesses or product lines at a total cost of approximately $345 million.
We may be unable to continue to implement our growth strategy, and our strategy ultimately may be unsuccessful. A significant portion of our growth in revenues has resulted from, and is expected to continue to result from, the acquisition of businesses complementary to our own. We engage in evaluations of potential acquisitions and are in various stages of discussion regarding possible acquisitions, certain of which, if consummated, could be significant to us. Any new acquisition can result in material transaction expenses, increased interest and amortization expense, increased depreciation expense and increased operating expense, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Certain businesses that we acquire may not have adequate financial, regulatory or quality controls at the time we acquire them. As we grow by acquisition, we must manage and integrate the new businesses to bring them into our systems for financial, regulatory and quality control, realize economies of scale, and control costs. In addition, acquisitions involve other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for ongoing development of our business and risks associated with entering new markets in which our marketing and sales force has limited experience or where experienced distribution alliances are not available. Our future profitability will depend in part upon our ability to develop further our resources to adapt to these new products or business areas and to identify and enter into satisfactory distribution networks. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future, obtain acceptable financing or consummate any future acquisitions. If we cannot integrate acquired operations, manage the cost of providing our products or price our products appropriately, our profitability could suffer. In addition, as a result of our acquisitions of other healthcare businesses, we may be subject to the risk of unanticipated business uncertainties, regulatory matters or legal liabilities relating to those acquired businesses for which the sellers of the acquired businesses may not indemnify us or for which the indemnification may not be sufficient to cover the ultimate liabilities.
We Are Exposed To A Variety Of Risks Relating To Our International Sales And Operations, Including Fluctuations In Exchange Rates, Local Economic Conditions And Delays In Collection Of Accounts Receivable.
We generate significant revenues outside the United States in euros, British pounds and in U.S. dollar-denominated transactions conducted with customers who generate revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For those foreign customers who purchase our products in U.S. dollars, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those customers do business may have a negative impact on the demand for our products in foreign countries where the U.S. dollar has increased in value compared to the local currency.
Because we have operations based in Europe and we generate revenues and incur operating expenses in euros and British pounds, we experience currency exchange risk with respect to those foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses. We also experience currency exchange risk with respect to the yen.
Currently, we do not use derivative financial instruments to manage operating foreign currency risk. As the volume of our business transacted in foreign currencies increases, we expect to continue to assess the potential effects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have on our business. If we believe that this potential impact presents a significant risk to our business, we may enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.
In general, we cannot predict the consolidated effects of exchange rate fluctuations upon our future operating results because of the number of currencies involved, the variability of currency exposure and the potential volatility of currency exchange rates.

Our international operations subject us to customs, import-export, sanctioned country and foreign corrupt practices laws. These laws restrict, and in some cases prohibit, United States companies from directly or indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or entities in certain countries. These laws also prohibit transactions with certain designated persons.
Local economic conditions, legal, regulatory or political considerations, the effectiveness of our sales representatives and distributors, local competition and changes in local medical practice could also affect our sales to foreign markets. Relationships with customers and effective terms of sale frequently vary by country, often with longer-term receivables than are typical in the United States.
We Had A Material Weakness In Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting And Cannot Assure You That Additional Material Weaknesses Will Not Be Identified In The Future.
Management identified a material weakness in our internal control over the review and approval of certain account reconciliations that existed during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This control deficiency resulted in adjustments to our March 31, 2007 interim consolidated financial statements identified by our external auditors in connection with their quarterly review. Management has taken steps to remediate the material weakness and will continue to monitor the implementation of the appropriate actions.
While we aim to work diligently to ensure a robust accounting system that is devoid of significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, given the growth of our business through acquisitions and the complexity of the accounting rules, we cannot assure you that additional significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could result in additional significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated under Section 404. The existence of a material weakness could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our stock price.
