Endocare, Inc.
Supplement No. 1
to
Prospectus Dated March 30, 2007
This is a Supplement to Endocare, Inc.s Prospectus, dated March 30, 2007, with respect
to the offer and sale of up to 9,580,126 shares of our common stock by the selling securityholders
listed herein or their transferees. This Supplement amends and supplements certain information
contained in the Prospectus. You should read this Supplement carefully.
Endocare is a specialty medical device company focused on improving patients lives through
the development, manufacturing and distribution of health care products for cryoablation. The term
cryoablation or cryosurgery refers to the use of ice to destroy tissue, such as tumors, for
therapeutic purposes. Today, our FDA-cleared Cryocare Surgical System occupies a growing position
in the urological market for treatment of prostate and renal cancer. Because of our initial
concentration on prostate and renal cancer, the majority of our sales and marketing resources are
directed toward the promotion of our technology to urologists. We believe our proprietary
cryosurgical technologies have broad applications across a number of surgical markets, including
for the treatment of tumors in the lung and liver and palliative intervention (treatment of pain
associated with metastases).
Our common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or OTCBB, under the symbol
ENDO. On May 7, 2007, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCBB was $2.00
per share.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS FOR OUR SHARES, WHICH ARE LISTED IN THE
PROSPECTUS.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this Supplement and the Prospectus or
determined if this Supplement or the Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus supplement is May 9, 2007

Endocare, Inc. and Subsidiary
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular numbers in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Operations
We are a medical device company focused on developing, manufacturing and selling cryoablation
products which have the potential to assist physicians in improving and extending life by use in
the treatment of cancer and other tumors. We were formed in 1990 as a research and development
division of Medstone International, Inc. (Medstone), a manufacturer of shockwave lithotripsy
equipment for the treatment of kidney stones. Following our incorporation under the laws of the
state of Delaware in 1994, we became an independent, publicly-owned corporation upon Medstones
distribution of our stock to the existing stockholders on January 1, 1996.
Through February 10, 2006, we also offered vacuum therapy systems for non-pharmaceutical
treatment of erectile dysfunction through our wholly-owned subsidiary Timm Medical Technologies,
Inc. (Timm Medical), which was sold to a third party effective February 10, 2006 (see Note 4 -
Sale of Timm Medical). The operating results of Timm Medical through the date of sale are
included in discontinued operations.
2. Basis of Presentation
Following the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), we
have omitted footnote disclosures in this report that would substantially duplicate the disclosures
contained in our annual audited financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2007.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, needed to present fairly the financial results for
these interim periods. The condensed consolidated results of operations presented for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
3. Recent Operating Results and Liquidity
Since inception, we have incurred losses from operations and have reported negative cash
flows. As of March 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $184.1 million and cash and cash
equivalents of $1.7 million. Of the cash balance, $1.5 million is borrowed on our line of credit,
which is payable on a current basis. As of March 31, 2007, we have sold $1.1 million in stock
under our agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital) as more fully described
below.
We do not expect to reach cash flow positive operations in 2007, and we expect to continue to
generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future. These losses have resulted in part from
our continued investment to gain acceptance of our technology and investment in initiatives that we
believe should ultimately result in cost reductions. In addition to these continued investments,
although in July 2006 we resolved the investigations by the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) of our historical accounting and financial reporting (see Item 1. Legal Proceedings), we
still have obligations to indemnify and advance the legal fees for our former officers and former
directors in connection with the ongoing investigations and legal proceedings related to those
individuals. The amount of those legal fees may exceed the reimbursement due to us from our
directors and officers liability insurance, and the excess may have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. For the quarter ended
March 31, 2007, we incurred expenses of $1.1 million relating to legal fees of former officers and
former directors and recorded insurance recoveries of $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2007, there
remained an aggregate of $0.6 million reimbursable coverage. A single law firm representing a
former officer was responsible for $0.6 of the legal fees that we incurred for the first quarter of
2007. We do not believe that the aggregate fees generated by this law firm during the first
quarter of 2007 were reasonable and we intend to dispute these fees. However, we cannot predict
the extent to which the amount that we ultimately pay to
6
this law firm for the first quarter of 2007 will be less than the $0.6 million of legal fees
generated by this law firm. For a description of this insurance coverage, please refer to the Form
8-K that we filed on February 25, 2005 and Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies.
We also face large cash expenditures in the future related to past due state and local tax
obligations, primarily sales and use taxes, which we estimate to be approximately $2.6 million.
The amount was fully accrued as of March 31, 2007. We are in the process of negotiating resolutions
of the past due state and local tax obligations with the applicable tax authorities. However, there
is no assurance that these obligations will be reduced as a result of the negotiations or that we
will be allowed to pay the amounts due over an extended period of time.
We also intend to continue investing in our sales and marketing efforts to physicians in order
to raise awareness and gain further acceptance of our technology. This investment is required in
order to increase physicians usage of our technology in the treatment of prostate and renal
cancers, lung and liver cancers and palliative intervention (treatment of pain associated with
metastases). Such costs will be reported as current period charges under generally accepted
accounting principles.
Since we do not currently have sufficient financial resources to fund our ongoing needs, we
will require additional equity financing or borrowings in order to continue operations. Our funding
sources include a $16.0 million common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital and a $4.0
million credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The availability under both agreements is
subject to many conditions, some of which are predicated on events that are not within our control.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that these capital resources will be available when needed or will
be sufficient.
As more fully described in Note 5 Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants, on
October 25, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Fusion Capital pursuant to which we have the
right to sell to Fusion Capital up to $16.0 million of common stock over a two year period at
prices determined based upon the market price of our common stock at the time of each sale without
any fixed discount. However we only have the right to sell $100,000 every fourth business day, with
additional $150,000 increments available every third business day if the market price per share of
our common stock is $1.50 or higher, subject to our ability to comply with certain ongoing
requirements. This $150,000 increment can be further increased at graduated levels up to $1.0
million if the market price per share increases from $1.50 to $6.00. Fusion Capitals obligation to
buy shares from us is automatically suspended if the trading share price of our stock decreases
below $1.00. We are also subject to certain ongoing requirements, which include maintaining
effectiveness of a registration statement filed in November 2006 covering the sale of the shares
purchased by Fusion Capital, listing of the shares on the principal market on which they are
traded, timely issuance of purchased shares and maintenance of trading prices per share at or above
$1.00. Our inability to comply with these and other requirements (an event of default) will allow
Fusion Capital to terminate the agreement. Although we are in compliance with these requirements as
of March 31, 2007 there is no assurance that we will continue to comply in future periods. In
addition, the extent to which we rely on Fusion Capital as a source of funding will depend on a
number of factors including the prevailing market price per share of our common stock.
As of March 31, 2007, we had sold 566,978 shares of stock to Fusion Capital for total gross
proceeds of $1.1 million. After March 31, 2007 and through April 30, 2007 we sold an additional
153,711 shares for gross proceeds of $0.3 million for total gross proceeds of $1.4 million. Since
we have authorized 8,000,000 shares for sale under the stock purchase agreement, the selling price
of our common stock to Fusion Capital would have to average at least $2.00 per share for us to
receive the maximum proceeds of $16.0 million. However, the average selling price to date has been
$1.87. Assuming the remaining shares were purchased at a price of $1.95 per share (the closing
sale price of the common stock on April 30, 2007) and the purchase by Fusion Capital of the full
remaining 7,279,311 shares under the common stock purchase agreement, additional gross proceeds of
$14.2 million would be available under the agreement.
Under our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, we can borrow up to $4.0 million based on
the amount of eligible inventory and trade receivables as defined under the credit agreement.
However, the facility is ultimately subject to the good faith business judgment of the lender. The
agreement contains restrictive covenants and subjective acceleration clauses that permit the lender
to accelerate payment of all outstanding balances or cease to make further advances to us if an
event of default occurs or if the lender determines in its judgment that a material adverse change
has occurred. As more fully discussed in Note 6 Bank Line of Credit, our tangible net worth
7
decreased below the required level at September 30, October 31 and November 30, 2006. In
December 2006, we amended the credit facility to waive these defaults and to modify the minimum
tangible net worth provision. In February 2007, we further amended the minimum net tangible net
worth provision and extended the expiration date of the credit facility. Although we were in
compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2007, there is no assurance that we will be able to
comply with all the requirements in future periods, that we can obtain a waiver if another default
occurs or that the lender will not exercise the subjective acceleration clause to accelerate our
payment obligations or terminate the agreement. As of March 31, 2007 we have $1.5 million
outstanding under the line of credit facility. As amended, the credit facility expires on February
27, 2008.
Our continuing losses, cash flow deficits, and our obligations, along with the contingencies
in our funding sources, together raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as
a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We expect to use existing cash reserves, working capital through the sale of our products, as
well as future proceeds from sales, if any, of common stock to Fusion Capital and borrowings under
our credit facility, to finance our projected operating and cash flow needs, along with continued
expense management efforts. We have reduced operating cash use over the past five years by
streamlining our corporate structure, focusing resources on our core products and strategic
initiatives, re-engineering our products to lower manufacturing costs, reducing use of consultants
and professional services and delaying or eliminating non-essential spending. We have also
instituted additional equity incentive programs to reduce cash compensation outlays.
We may borrow funds under our line of credit with our bank for short-term needs as long as we
remain in compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and borrowing conditions. We
believe that the financing with Fusion Capital and our line of credit with our bank should provide
us with the capital resources that we need to reach the point where our operations will generate
positive cash flows. We will continue to endeavor to reduce expenses, defer or eliminate lower
priority research, clinical and marketing activities to conserve cash and garner manufacturing
efficiencies through product re-engineering and sourcing our product components from overseas or to
lower cost suppliers. However, our cash needs are not entirely predictable and the availability of
funds from Fusion Capital and our bank are subject to many conditions, including certain subjective
acceleration clauses and other provisions, some of which are predicated on events that are not
within our control. Even if we are able to access the full $16.0 million under the common stock
purchase agreement with Fusion Capital, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our
business, operating and development plans. In addition, if financing from Fusion Capital were to
prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive and if we are unable to sell enough of our products, we
would need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the availability of these capital resources or that they will be
sufficient to fund our ongoing operations to the point where our operations will generate positive
cash flows. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or
prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would be a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In assessing whether to enter into the Fusion Capital financing and renew the bank line of
credit, we considered these factors in light of our circumstances and likely cash requirements.
After comparing the Fusion Capital financing and bank line of credit to other financing
alternatives potentially available to us, we made a business decision that the Fusion Capital
financing and bank line of credit represented the best financing alternatives then available to us.
We continue to believe that the Fusion Capital financing and bank line of credit should
provide us with the capital resources that we need to reach the point where our operations will
generate positive cash flows. However, primarily because of the subjective acceleration clauses and
other conditions referred to above, the audit report of our independent auditors contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2007 contains an unqualified opinion with an
explanatory paragraph, to the effect that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. This opinion could itself have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

4. Sale of Timm Medical
On January 13, 2006, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Plethora Solutions
Holdings plc (Plethora), a company listed on the London Stock Exchange. Under this agreement
Plethora agreed to acquire Timm Medical, a wholly owned subsidiary of Endocare, for $9.5 million.
The transaction closed on February 10, 2006. After the sale, we did not receive significant direct
cash flows from Timm Medical and had no significant continuing involvement in its operations. In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the assets and liabilities of Timm Medical were
classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the
date we decided to sell Timm Medical. Sale proceeds (net of $0.6 million in transaction costs)
totaled $8.9 million and resulted in a gain on sale of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2006.
Gross proceeds of $9.5 million include cash of $8.1 million and a two-year, five percent promissory
note for $1.4 million which is secured by the assets of Timm Medical. The note is convertible into
Plethoras ordinary shares at any time at our option. If Plethoras shares trade above a specified
price for 20 consecutive days, Plethora has the option to require conversion. We are
currently in discussions with Plethora to potentially accelerate the payment of the note for a lump
sum discounted amount. Based on these discussions we have reserved $0.3 million of the note
balance in the fourth quarter of 2006. Net cash proceeds from the divestiture were $7.3 million
after $0.6 million in transaction costs and $0.04 million in cash of Timm Medical as of the date of
disposition.
We agreed to retain certain assets and liabilities of Timm Medical, including all tax
liabilities totaling $1.1 million, obligations and rights to a $2.7 million note receivable from
SRS Medical Corporation, relating to the sale of Timm Medicals urinary incontinence product line
in 2003, certain litigation to which Timm Medical is a party and ownership of Urohealth BV (Timm
Medicals wholly-owned subsidiary with insignificant operations). Assets and liabilities we
retained and their related revenues and expenses are excluded from discontinued operations. The
stock purchase agreement requires that payments under the promissory note described above be placed
in an indemnification escrow in certain circumstances to indemnify Plethora against certain claims
and liabilities.
Assets and liabilities sold to Plethora as of February 10, 2006 included the following:

Revenues for Timm Medical were $1.0 million (for the period from January 1, 2006 through date
of sale, February 10, 2006). Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March
31, 2006 includes a $0.5 million gain on disposal and is net of $0.2 million in taxes.
5. Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants
Fusion Capital Equity Purchase Agreement
On October 25, 2006, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital as
described above under Note 3 Recent Operating Results and Liquidity. Under this agreement we
have the right to sell to Fusion Capital up to $16.0 million worth of common stock, at our
election, over a two year period at prices determined based upon the market price of our common
stock at the time of each sale, without any fixed discount. Common stock may be sold in $100,000
increments every fourth business day, with additional $150,000 increments
9
available every third business day if the market price per share of our common stock is $1.50
or higher. This $150,000 increment can be further increased at graduated levels up to $1.0 million
if the market price per share increases from $1.50 to $6.00. If the price of the stock is below
$1.00 per share, the obligation for Fusion Capital to buy any shares of stock is automatically
suspended. Under the terms of the agreement, we issued 473,957 shares of common stock to Fusion
Capital for no consideration as a commitment fee.
Under a related registration rights agreement, before Fusion Capital was obligated to purchase
shares, we were required to file a registration statement covering the sale of up to 8,473,957
common shares within 20 days of signing the agreement. The registration statement was filed in
November 2006 and declared effective by the SEC on December 1, 2006. We subsequently filed a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement, which was declared effective March 30,
2007. We are required to maintain effectiveness of the registration statement until the earlier of
the date that Fusion Capital may sell the shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) or the
date that Fusion Capital has sold all purchased shares and no available unpurchased shares remain
under the agreement. Upon occurrence of certain events of default as defined in the stock purchase
agreement, including lapse of effectiveness of the registration statement for 10 or more
consecutive business days or for 30 or more business days within a 365-day period, suspension of
trading for 3 business days, delisting of the shares from the principal market on which they are
traded, failure by our stock transfer agent to issue shares within 5 business days, or other
material breaches, Fusion Capital may terminate the stock purchase agreement. We have the right to
terminate the agreement at any time.
Through March 31, 2007, we sold 566,978 shares for gross proceeds of $1.1 million. Through
April 30, 2007, we sold an additional 153,711 shares for gross proceeds of $0.3 million. We are
obligated to pay a transaction fee equal to 6.0 percent of the stock proceeds to an investment
advisory firm under a pre-existing capital advisory agreement. In relation to this agreement we
have prepaid $100,000 in fees to the investment advisory firm in 2006. Through April 30, 2007 we
incurred $81,000 of these fees. As of April 30, 2007, we have approximately $14.2 million in
remaining funding available with Fusion based on the stock price on that date.
March 2005 Private Placement
On March 11, 2005, we completed a private placement of 5,635,378 shares of our common stock
and detachable warrants to purchase 3,944,748 common shares at an offering price of $2.77 per
share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $15.6 million. Transaction costs were $1.0 million,
resulting in net proceeds of $14.6 million. Of the total warrants, 1,972,374 had an initial
exercise price of $3.50 (Series A warrants) per share and 1,972,374 have an initial exercise price
of $4.00 (Series B warrants) per share. The expiration date of the warrants is May 1, 2010. One
current member and one former member of our management team made personal investments totaling $0.7
million in the aggregate, and a member of our Board of Directors invested $0.3 million.
The warrants have an anti-dilution clause that is triggered upon issuance of a certain number
of shares of our common stock that reduces the effective exercise price of the warrants to preserve
the ownership of the warrant holders. As a result of the issuance of shares to Fusion capital
through April 2007, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants decreased to $3.40 to effectively
provide holders an additional 55,774 shares and the Series B Warrant exercise price decreased to
$3.89 effectively providing the Series B Warrant holders an additional 58,011 shares.
The warrants initially are exercisable at any time during their term for cash only. The
warrants may be exercised on a cashless exercise basis in limited circumstances after the first
anniversary of the closing date if there is not an effective registration statement covering the
resale of the shares underlying the warrants. Each warrant is callable by us at a price of $0.01
per share underlying such warrant if our stock trades above certain dollar per share thresholds
($6.50 for the Series A warrants and $7.50 for Series B warrants) for 20 consecutive days
commencing on any date after the effectiveness of the registration statement, provided that (a) we
provide 30-day advanced written notice (Notice Period), (b) we simultaneously call all warrants on
the same terms and (c) all common shares issuable are registered. Holders may exercise their
warrants during the Notice Period and warrants which remain unexercised will be redeemed at $0.01
per share.
Upon exercise, we will pay transaction fees equal to six percent of the warrant proceeds under
an existing capital advisory agreement.
10
Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement relating to the March 2005
financing, we filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-2 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, covering the resale of all of the common stock purchased and the common stock
underlying the issued warrants. The S-2 registration statement was declared effective September 28,
2005. We subsequently filed a post-effective amendment on Form S-3, which was declared effective
March 28, 2006 and a post-effective amendment on Form S-1, which was declared effective March 30,
2007.
The registration rights agreement provides that if a registration statement is not filed
within 30 days of closing or does not become effective within 90 days thereafter, then in addition
to any other rights the holders may have, we will be required to pay each holder an amount in cash,
as liquidated damages, equal to one percent of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder per
month. We incurred $0.6 million of liquidated damages through September 28, 2005, when the S-2
registration statement was declared effective.
Under the registration rights agreement, we could incur similar liquidated damages in the
future (equal to one percent of the aggregate purchase price paid by each affected holder per
month) if holders are unable to make sales under the registration statement (for example, if we
fail to keep the registration statement current as required by SEC rules or if future amendments to
the registration statement are not declared effective in a timely manner). The registration
obligation remains outstanding until the earlier of the date on which all shares issuable upon
exercise of the warrants have been issued and resold by the holders of the warrants or the date on
which all such shares can be resold by the holders without registration.
Since the liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement could in some cases
exceed a reasonable discount for delivering unregistered shares, the Company accounted for the
registration payment arrangement and warrants as one instrument classified as a derivative (a
non-current liability) under EITF No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock. We allocated a portion of the March
2005 offering proceeds to the warrants based on their fair value at issuance. Through December 31,
2006, we revalued the warrants as a derivative instrument quarterly in connection with changes in
the underlying stock price and other assumptions, with the change in value recorded as interest
expense. In December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) No. 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, which changed the way we
account for the outstanding warrants. FSP No. 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to
make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement
should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those
arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of this FSP and that continue to be
outstanding at the adoption date, this guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption of FSP No. 00-19-2
on January 1, 2007, the value of the warrants as of the original issue date ($5.7 million) was
reclassified to equity without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration under
the registration payment arrangement. The difference between the $5.7 million and the carrying
value of the warrant liability as of December 31, 2006 ($1.3 million) was recorded as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce opening retained earnings on January 1, 2007. Hereafter,
accruals for liquidated damages, if any, will be recorded when they are probable and reasonably
estimable.
6. Bank Line of Credit
As described above in Note 3 Recent Operating Results and Liquidity, on October
26, 2005, we entered into a one-year credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the lender), which
provided up to $4.0 million in borrowings for working capital purposes in the form of a revolving
line of credit and term loans (not to exceed $500,000). The agreement was amended in February,
April and December 2006 and was extended to February 28, 2007. In February 2007 the agreement was
further extended to February 27, 2008, as described below.
The credit facility permits the borrowings up to the lesser of $4.0 million or amounts
available under a borrowing base formula based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As
amended, the borrowing base is (i) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser
of 30 percent of the value of eligible inventory or $500,000. Borrowings are secured by all of our
assets, including all receivable collections which are held in trust for the Bank. Interest is
payable monthly at prime rate plus 1.5 percent. The agreement requires a one-time commitment fee of
$40,000 paid on the effective date and an annual facility fee equal to 0.5 percent of the unused
portion of the facility.
11
A termination fee will also be assessed if the credit facility is terminated prior to
expiration. We borrowed and repaid $250,000 on the line of credit in 2006. As of March 31, 2007
there was $1.5 million outstanding on the line of credit.
As a condition to each advance under the credit facility, all representations and warranties
by us must be materially true and no event of default must have occurred or be continuing. In
addition, the lender, in its good faith business judgment, must determine that no material adverse
change has occurred. A material adverse change occurs when there is a material impairment in the
priority of the lenders lien in the collateral or its value, a material adverse change in our
business, operations or condition, a material impairment of the prospect of repayment or if the
lender determines, in its good faith reasonable judgment, that there is a reasonable likelihood
that we will fail to comply with one or more financial covenant in the next financial reporting
period.
The agreement governing the credit facility contains various financial and operating covenants
that impose limitations on our ability, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness, merge
or consolidate, sell assets except in the ordinary course of business, make certain investments,
enter into leases and pay dividends without the consent of the lender. The credit facility also
includes a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock box with the lender
to which all collections are deposited. Under the subjective acceleration clause, the lender may
declare default and terminate the credit facility if it determines that a material adverse charge
has occurred. If the aggregate outstanding advances plus reserves placed by the lender against the
loan availability exceeds 50 percent of the receivable borrowing base component as defined, or if a
default occurs, all current and future lock box proceeds will be applied against the outstanding
borrowings. The credit facility also contains cross-default provisions and a minimum tangible net
worth requirement measured on a monthly basis. Tangible net worth must be equal to or greater than
the sum of a base amount ($0.5 million at March 31, 2007) plus 25 percent of all consideration
received from issuing equity securities and subordinated debt and 25 percent of positive
consolidated net income in each quarter.
We were not in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth covenant for the months
September 2006 to November 2006. On December 22, 2006, we signed an amendment to the agreement
governing the credit facility. Among other things, the amendment (i) modified the borrowing base to
increase the eligible accounts receivable from 80 percent to 85 percent and modified the definition
of accounts that are ineligible under the borrowing base calculation; (ii) modified the loan margin
as defined to 1.50 percent, and (iii) waived non-compliance with the minimum tangible net worth
requirement at September 30, 2006, October 31, 2006 and November 30, 2006, and modified the terms
of the covenant. As of March 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants. However, since the
outstanding advances exceed 50 percent of the receivable borrowing base referred to above,
beginning in February 2007, our lock-box proceeds have been applied daily to reduce the outstanding
advances and we re-borrow the amount subject to the lenders approval. The daily borrowings and
repayments have been presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows.
On February 23, 2007, the credit agreement was amended to further modify the minimum tangible
net worth provision and to extend the maturity date to February 27, 2008.
7. Capital Stock and Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the respective periods. Diluted loss per share, calculated using the
treasury stock method, gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of
certain stock options and warrants that were outstanding during the respective periods presented.
For periods when we reported a net loss, these potentially dilutive common shares were excluded
from the diluted loss per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive.
8. Stock-Based Compensation
As of March 31, 2007, we have four stock-based employee compensation plans and two
non-employee director stock-based compensation plan. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for
stock-based compensation for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) as
permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation. Compensation expense recorded under APB 25 has not been significant since we
generally grant options with an exercise price equal to the fair value of our common stock on the
date of grant.
12
On May 18, 2006, we adopted the Employee Deferred Stock Unit Program and the Non-employee
Director Deferred Stock Unit Program.
Employee Deferred Stock Unit Program. Under the terms of the employee program, certain
eligible employees have the option to elect to receive all or a portion of their annual incentive
award (at a minimum of 25 percent) in deferred stock units in lieu of cash. In addition each
participating employee will also receive an additional premium in stock at a percentage determined
by the compensation committee of our board of directors. That percentage premium for 2006 was 20
percent and the same premium was approved for 2007. Irrevocable deferral elections are made during
a designated period no later than June 30 of each year. The units vest upon the determination of
the incentive award achieved and the number of stock units earned in the first quarter of the
following fiscal year. The stock price to determine the number of shares to be issued is the fair
market value of the stock on the date on which the deferred stock units are granted. In 2007, the
date of grant was March 30, 2007, on which date the closing price was $2.22. In 2006, the date of
grant was June 23, 2006, on which date the closing stock price was $2.70. Compensation expense
related to the bonus program is recorded pro rata during the performance year based on the
estimated incentives achieved, whether payable in cash or in stock units. The portion of bonus
payable in stock units is recorded as additional paid-in capital. The estimated value of the
incentives is periodically adjusted based on current expectations regarding the levels of
achievement.
Non-employee Directors Deferred Stock Unit Program. Under the directors plan,
members of the Board of Directors can choose to have all or a portion of their director fees paid
in fully vested deferred stock units (at a minimum of 25 percent) commencing July 1, 2006. The date
of grant and share price used to determine the number of deferred stock units is set on the fifth
business day after the end of the quarter in which the services are rendered. Additionally, to
cover taxes directors may choose to have up to 50 percent of their deferred stock units paid in
cash at the date the underlying common shares are to be issued based on the share price at the
time. During 2006, elections were made in June. Future annual deferred elections will be made in
December for the following year. Deferred stock units are granted each quarter based on the
director fees earned in the prior quarter and the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant. The first grant was made in October 2006 for the September 30, 2006 quarter. Directors
fees, whether payable in cash or in stock units, are expensed when incurred. The maximum number of
deferred stock units that can be settled in cash at the option of the holder is recorded as a
liability (included in other long-term liabilities) and adjusted each quarter to current fair value
until settlement occurs. The fair value of the portion of the deferred stock units issuable in
shares are fixed at the date of grant and are expensed in the quarter the services are received. As
of March 31, 2007, 120,345 fully vested deferred stock units valued at $0.2 million have been
granted under the plan, of which $0.1 million has been recorded as a liability as of March 31,
2007.
Common shares underlying the vested stock units in the employee and director plans are issued
at the earlier of the payout date specified by the participant (which is at least two years from
the date of grant), a change in control event as defined, or the month following the participants
death.
Restricted Stock Units. On February 23, 2007, we granted 1,504,000 shares of restricted stock
units (RSUs) to certain key management employees as part of a comprehensive long-term incentive
program under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. All of the RSUs vest based upon the achievement of
specific profitability goals over the 2007 through 2009 period (the Profitability Goals) except for
400,000 RSUs which vest based on service. Because there is currently no assurance that the
Profitability Goals will be met, there is no compensation cost recognized in the 2007 period for
these RSUs. At the time we determine that the performance objectives will be attained, we will
record a cumulative catch-up adjustment for the compensation expense since the date of grant in the
quarter the assessment is made and will recognize the remaining compensation expense over the
remaining service period. The total grant date fair value of all RSUs is $2.8 million. During the
three months ended March 31, 2007, $20,000 was expensed related to RSUs that vest based on service
condition.
13
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (SFAS
No. 123R) using the modified prospective transition method. Among other items, SFAS No. 123R
eliminates the use of the
intrinsic value method of accounting under APB 25 and requires companies to recognize in the
financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity
instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Under the modified prospective
method, we recognize compensation cost in the financial statements beginning with the effective
date based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted, modified or
settled after January 1, 2006, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested
awards granted prior to the effective date.
We use the Black-Scholes standard option pricing model and the single option award approach to
measure the fair value of the stock options granted to employees and the short-cut method to
estimate the expected term as permitted under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. We use historical
volatility (based on daily trading prices) to estimate the fair value of options granted, excluding
the period from October 24, 2002 to January 16, 2003 (inclusive) during which our common stock
experienced unusually high volatility as a result of our failure to file the September 30, 2002
Form 10-Q, temporary suspension of trading, delisting of our shares from NASDAQ, and an
investigation commenced by the SEC and the DOJ. We did not incorporate implied volatility since
there are no actively traded option contracts on our common stock. We record stock-based
compensation expense net of expected forfeitures based on our historical experience from 2001
through the current date, subject to periodic assessment. We base the risk-free interest rate
assumption on the implied yields in effect at the time of the option grant on U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon bonds with remaining terms equal to the expected term of the stock awards. No expected
dividend yield is used because we have not historically paid dividends and do not intend to pay
dividends in the foreseeable future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 we used the following variables in the

Due to our continuing losses, we do not recognize deferred tax assets related to our
stock-based compensation and we have not recorded benefits for tax deductions in excess of
recognized compensation costs (required to be recorded as financing cash flows) due to the
uncertainty of when we will generate taxable income to realize such benefits.
Of the $0.8 million in non-cash stock-based compensation recorded during the three months
ended March 31, 2007, $12,000 was expensed as cost of goods sold, $18,000 was included in research
and development expenses, $0.1 million in selling and marketing expenses and $0.6 million in
general and administration expenses. Of the $0.9 million recorded during the three months ended
March 31, 2006, $40,000 was included in research and development expenses, $0.2 million in selling
and marketing expenses and $0.6 million in general and administration expenses. As of March 31,
2007 there was $3.5 million (net of estimated forfeitures) of total unrecognized compensation costs
related to stock options. That cost is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a
weighted average period of 1.21 years less any stock options forfeited prior to vesting. As of
March 31, 2007 stock compensation cost capitalized as inventory was insignificant. The weighted
average fair value for stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March
31, 2006 was $1.15 and $2.19 per share, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of
the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for those awards that have an
exercise price currently below the quoted price. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the
aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under the stock option plans was $0.1 million. There
were no exercises of options during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Cash received from
option exercises under all stock-based payment arrangements for the three months ended March 31,
2006 was $52,000.
9. Inventories
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, are stated at
the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. Reserves for
slow-moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and product
demand. We evaluate the adequacy of these reserves periodically.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
Governmental Investigations and Legal Proceedings
As reported in the Form 8-K that we filed on July 20, 2006, we executed a consent to entry of
judgment in favor of the SEC on July 14, 2006 and entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the
DOJ on July 18, 2006. These two agreements effectively resolve with respect to the Company the
investigations begun by the SEC and by the DOJ in January 2003, regarding allegations that we and
certain of our former officers and former directors and one current employee issued, or caused to
be issued, false and misleading statements regarding our financial results for 2001 and 2002 and
related matters. Under the terms of the consent judgment with the SEC: (i) we paid a total of
$750,000 in civil penalties and disgorgement; and (2) we agreed to a stipulated judgment enjoining
future violations of securities laws. On April 7, 2006, we entered into an escrow agreement with
Morrison & Foerster LLP, our outside counsel, pursuant to which we placed the $750,000 anticipated
settlement in escrow with Morrison & Foerster at the request of the SEC staff. The funds were
released from the escrow to the SEC in August 2006. A liability for the monetary penalty was
accrued in 2004.
The investigations and legal proceedings related to certain former officers and former
directors remain ongoing and are not affected by our settlements with the SEC and DOJ. We remain
contractually obligated to pay legal fees for and otherwise indemnify these former officers and
former directors. On August 9, 2006 the SEC filed civil fraud charges in federal district court
against two former officers. As described below in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, on April
9, 2007, these two former officers were indicted by a federal grand jury in Orange County,
California. Our directors and officers liability insurance may fund certain losses, including
defense costs, related to these matters. As of March 31, 2007, we had $0.6 million in remaining
available coverage under the applicable excess directors and officers liability policy. This
policy reimburses 75 percent of the first $2.25 million in eligible costs to a maximum of
approximately $1.7 million, zero percent of the next $500,000 and 57.5 percent of the next $1
million to a maximum of $575,000. For further information regarding this coverage, please refer to
the Form 8-K that we filed on February 25, 2005.
Lawsuit with KPMG LLP
On October 26, 2006, we filed a lawsuit with the Superior Court of the State of California for
the County of Orange against our former independent auditor, KPMG LLP, for professional negligence
and breach of contract, seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial. Previously, we had
entered into a Mediation and Tolling Agreement with KPMG pursuant to which KPMG agreed that the
statute of limitations would be tolled to provide an opportunity for mediation between the parties.
We engaged in mediation with KPMG on September 27, 2006 but the parties were unable to reach
settlement. Accordingly, we proceeded with the filing of the lawsuit. In response to our claims
against KPMG, KPMG filed a cross-complaint against us and certain former officers. Under the
cross-complaint, KPMG makes claims against us for breach of contract, violations of the federal
racketeering statute and conspiracy to violate the federal racketeering statute, seeking damages in
an amount to be determined at trial. We are not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit.
Other Litigation
In January 2006, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with certain parties
against whom we had a claim from a judgment awarded to us in prior years. We received $162,500 in
the settlement of this claim, which was recorded as a reduction of general and administrative
expenses in the first quarter of 2006.
In addition, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various other legal matters,
which we believe will not individually or collectively have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of
litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and we cannot provide assurance that the
outcome of various legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2007, we have not
established
16
a liability for contingencies in the consolidated balance sheets since the likelihood of loss
and potential liability cannot be reliably estimated at this time. However, our evaluation of the
likelihood of an unfavorable outcome with respect to these actions could change in the future.
From time to time, we have received correspondence alleging infringement of proprietary rights
of third parties. No assurance can be given that any relevant claims of third parties would not be
upheld as valid and enforceable, and therefore we could be prevented from practicing the subject
matter claimed or would be required to obtain licenses from the owners of any such proprietary
rights to avoid infringement. We do not expect any material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows because of such claims.
11. Income Taxes
On
January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 creates a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax
positions. It clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition
threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
As of the adoption date, we had $240,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would
affect our effective tax rate if recognized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of
unrecognized tax benefit as of March 31, 2007, is as follows:
|

|
$ |
240,000 |
|
|
|
|
|
Because of our historical losses, FIN 48 did not have an effect on our accounting and disclosure
for income taxes. We do not anticipate that there will be a material change in the balance of the
unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. We recognize interest and penalties
related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. We have approximately $40,000 of accrued
interest related to uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007. The tax
years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we
are subject.
We reported no net income tax expense from continuing and discontinued operations during the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 due to our operating losses. The 2006 tax benefit on
continuing operations of $0.2 million is the result of the 2006 first quarter pre-tax book losses
being utilized against pre-tax book income from discontinued operations. There is an offsetting tax
provision within discontinued operations. Due to our history of operating losses, management has
determined that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized
through future earnings. Accordingly, valuation allowances were recorded to fully reserve the
deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Cost of revenues for cryoablation disposable product sales and procedure fees are combined for
reporting purposes. Sales of cryoablation disposable products and procedure fees both incorporate
similar inventory when sold and we do not separately track the cost of disposals sold directly to
customers and those consumed in cryoablation procedures. Cryoablation procedure services are
provided to medical facilities upon request to facilitate the overall delivery of our technology
into the marketplace.
13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task
Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not
believed by management to, have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial
statements.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I Item 1 of this
report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations. There
are various factors many beyond our control that could cause our actual results or the
occurrence or timing of expected events to differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are described below and other factors are
described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or under Risk Factors in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K referred to above. In addition, there are factors not described in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that could cause our actual
results or the occurrence or timing of expected events to differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume
no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are an innovative medical device company focused on the development of minimally invasive
technologies for tissue and tumor ablation through cryoablation, which is the use of lethal ice to
destroy tissue, such as tumors, for therapeutic purposes. We develop and manufacture devices for
the treatment of prostate and renal cancers and we believe that our proprietary technologies have
broad applications across a number of markets, including the ablation of tumors in the lung and
liver and palliative intervention (treatment of pain associated with metastases).
Today, our FDA-cleared Cryocare Surgical System occupies a growing position in the urological
market for treatment of prostate and renal cancers. Because of our initial concentration on
prostate and renal cancers, the majority of our sales and marketing resources are directed toward
the promotion of our technology to urologists. In addition to selling our cryosurgical disposable
products to hospitals and mobile service companies, we contract directly with hospitals for the use
of our Cryocare Surgical System and disposable products on a fee-for-service basis. Since 2003, we
also maintain a dedicated sales team focused on selling percutaneous cryoablation procedures
related to liver, kidney and lung cancer and palliative intervention to interventional radiology
physicians throughout
18
the United States. We intend to continue to identify and develop new markets for our
cryosurgical products and technologies, particularly in the area of tumor ablation.
We previously owned Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (Timm Medical), a company focused on
erectile dysfunction products. We sold Timm Medical to United Kingdom-based Plethora Solutions
Holdings plc effective on February 10, 2006.
Strategy, Key Metrics and Developments
Our primary objective is to grow market share, currently measured in terms of the number of
procedures performed with our Cryocare Surgical System, which we calculate using two primary
components. The first component is the actual number of cryoablation cases for which we are
responsible for performing the service element on behalf of the healthcare facility. In the second,
we compute a cryoablation case equivalent based on sales of our cryoablation disposable products by
using the expected disposable product usage for those sales. Procedure growth has been an important
metric to which we have referred during the past several years in order to measure the success of
our strategy.
In addition to being a key business metric, procedure growth has been an important driver of
revenue growth, because a significant percentage of our revenue consists of sales of the disposable
products used in procedures performed with the Cryocare Surgical System, as shown below under
Results of Operations. In 2003 we redirected our strategy for our cryoablation business away from
emphasizing sales of Cryocare Surgical Systems and instead toward seeking to increase sales of
cryoablation disposable products. Historically, we were responsible for performing the service
element of the procedure on behalf of the healthcare facility for the majority of our reported
procedures. Beginning in 2004, we changed our business model to emphasize our strength as a medical
device manufacturer and strategically reduced the amount of revenues attributable to the service
model where we are responsible for performing the service element of the procedures on behalf of
the healthcare facility for a procedure fee. By the fourth quarter of 2006, we had achieved our
goal of having the substantial majority of our procedures comprised of sales of cryoablation
disposable products without the service element. During 2006, we succeeded in causing the
percentage of total estimated domestic cryoablation procedures for which we perform the service
element to decline from 50.1 percent of total reported procedures for the three months ended March
31, 2006 to 19.5 percent of total reported procedures for the three months ended December 31, 2006.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the percentage for which we performed the service
element of the procedure further declined further to 15.6 percent of total reported procedures.
The change in our business model and revenue mix discussed above has impacted our gross margin
due to the disparity in per-procedure revenue between cases for which we are responsible for
providing the service element and cases for which we merely sell disposable products. This
disparity results from the fact that the revenue from a case for which we merely sell disposable
products is less than the revenue from a case for which we are responsible for providing the
service element (referred to as procedure fees below). As the percentage of cases for which we
merely sell disposable products increases relative to cases for which we are responsible for
providing the service element, our incremental revenues grow at a slower rate than our overall
procedure growth. However, the gross profit realized is generally equivalent since we do not incur
fees to third party service providers for cases for which we merely sell disposable products. In
contrast, in cases for which we are responsible for providing the service element, we typically
subcontract with a third party service provider to provide the service element on our behalf and
thereby incur service fees. As a result, our gross margin (gross profit as a percent of revenues)
increases as we shift from procedure fees to sale of disposable products. As a result of this
shift, over time, we expect the number of procedures performed to become a less important measure
of our business and our revenues to become a more important metric.
In the past several years, we have been successful in increasing the estimated number of
domestic cryoablation procedures on a year-over-year basis. In 2005 total estimated procedures
increased 35.9 percent to 6,407 from 4,713 in 2004. In 2006 total estimated procedures increased
21.8 percent to 7,802. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, total estimated procedures
increased 31.5 percent to 2,315 from 1,761 in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
19
The factors driving interest in and utilization of cryoablation by urologists include
increased awareness and acceptance of cryoablation by physicians and industry thought leaders,
continued publication of clinical follow up data on the effectiveness of cryoablation, including
10-year data presented in 2005, increased awareness among patients of cryoablation and its
preferred outcomes as compared to other modalities, the efforts of our dedicated cryoablation sales
force and our continued expenditure of funds on physician training as well as patient education
and advocacy.
We believe that one of the factors that adversely impacts procedure growth and revenues is
that certain urologists decide from time to time to try new techniques for the treatment of
prostate cancer. We cannot predict the extent to which this factor may continue to affect us.
However, the prostate cancer treatment market is very competitive and there are many different
treatment options that have been developed and that are continuing to be developed.

Costs of revenues for cryoablation disposable products and procedure fees are combined for
reporting purposes. Sales of cryoablation disposable products and procedure fees incorporate
similar inventory when sold and we do not separately track the cost of disposable products sold
directly to customers and those consumed in cryoablation procedures. Procedure fees relate to
services which are provided to medical facilities upon request to facilitate the overall delivery
of our technology into the marketplace.
We recognize revenues from sales of Cryocare Surgical Systems and disposable cryoprobes when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and
determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We also contract with medical facilities
for the use of the Cryocare Surgical Systems in cryoablation treatments for which we charge a
per-procedure fee. Cryoablation services generally consist of rental and transport of a Cryocare
Surgical System as well as the services of a technician to assist the physician with the setup and
monitoring of the equipment.
Costs of revenues consist of fixed and variable costs incurred in the manufacture of our
products in addition to depreciation of Cryocare Surgical Systems placed in the field with
customers under our placement program or with our sales and service personnel. We incur an
additional cost of revenues in the form of a fee for equipment usage and other services when a
procedure is performed on a system owned by an unrelated service provider. The fee paid to the
third-party service provider is charged to costs of revenues when the procedure is performed and
billed.
Research and development expenses include expenses associated with the design and development
of new products as well as enhancements to existing products. We expense research and development
costs when incurred. Our research and development efforts are occasionally subject to significant
non-recurring expenses and fees that can cause some variability in our quarterly research and
development expenses.
20
Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries, commissions and related benefits
and overhead costs for employees and activities in the areas of selling, marketing and customer
service. Expenses associated with advertising, trade shows, promotional and physician training
costs related to marketing our products are also classified as selling and marketing expenses.
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and related benefits and
overhead costs for employees and activities in the areas of legal affairs, finance, information
technology, human resources and administration. Fees for attorneys, independent auditors and
certain other outside consultants are also included where their services are related to general and
administrative activities. This category also includes reserves for bad debt and litigation losses
less amounts recoverable under our insurance policies. Litigation reserves and insurance recoveries
are recorded when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) using the modified-prospective transition
method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006 included (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but
not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments
granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimate in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R. As of March 31, 2007, there was $3.5 million of total
unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options and $2.8 million of unrecognized
compensation costs related to restricted stock units. The stock-option compensation cost is
expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 1.2 years less
any stock options forfeited prior to vesting. Compensation costs related to restricted stock units
will be recorded over the next 2.8 years if the performance conditions (Profitability Goals) are
satisfied.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 3.9 percent to
$7.5 million compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2006. Although our total number of
estimated procedures increased approximately 31 percent to 2,315 from 1,761 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2006, our increase in revenue is not reflective of this
increase because of our change in revenue mix. Generally, we earn less revenue per estimated case
for sales of cryoablation disposable products than for procedure fees; however the related gross
margin as a percent of revenues for sales of cryoablation disposable products is greater. Of the
total procedures performed during the three months ended March 31, 2007, 15.6 percent were those
for which we provided cryoablation services and 84.4 percent were from the sale of cryoablation
disposable products. This compares to 50.1 percent for cryoablation services and 49.9 percent for
sales of cryoablation disposable products during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Also contributing to growth in sales of cryoablation products was an increase in sales to a
market served by interventional radiologists, treating tumors in the kidney, lung and liver and
palliative intervention. Direct sales of disposable products and interventional radiology
procedures generally have a lower average selling price than procedures performed by urologists on
prostate and renal treatments although costs of revenues are also lower.
Cardiac royalty revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 over the same
period in 2006. The contractual rate of royalties CryoCath is obligated to pay us as a percentage
of related revenues decreased from 5.0 percent in 2006 to 3.0 percent in 2007. Revenues from sales
of Cryocare Surgical Systems increased 116.4 percent to $0.5 million from $0.2 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. This increase is primarily
due to increased international sales of our systems.
Cost of Revenues. Costs of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 30.4
percent to $2.6 million compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease in cost
of revenues resulted primarily from the change in the mix of our revenues from those where we are
responsible for providing cryoablation procedure services to solely selling cryoablation disposable
products. This mix shift led to a decrease in the number of cases for which we paid fees to third
party service providers. In addition, costs of revenues declined due to decreases in materials,
labor and overhead costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
21
substantially all of our cryoablation procedures for which we were responsible for the service
element were performed by third party service providers at an additional cost to us.
Gross Margins. Gross margins on revenues increased to 65.3 percent for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 compared to 48.1 percent for the same period in 2006. The positive trend in gross
margins was primarily related to our shift from procedures where we bear responsibility for the
service element of the procedure to those where we solely sell our cryoablation disposable
products. Sales of cryoablation disposable products yield a higher gross margin as a percent of
revenues than procedures performed by third party subcontractors. We also have continued to reduce
manufacturing costs for our cryoablation disposable products, while increasing efficiencies in
production.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 decreased to $0.6 million compared to $1.0 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2006. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses decreased to
8.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 13.9 percent during the comparable
period in 2006. This decrease is primarily attributable to a $0.3 million reduction in educational
and other grants. In 2007, we are focusing our research dollars on those areas in which
cryoablation research is required to substantiate reimbursement codes and coverage. In addition,
these expenses are generally recognized in conjunction with milestones inherent in the studies and
as such are not always predictable in amount and timing. Also contributing to the decrease is a
reduction in consulting, engineering supplies and stock-based compensation.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 remained consistent at $3.8 million as compared to the same period in 2006. Our
efforts to reduce costs have been effective resulting in reductions in travel and entertainment
costs, consulting costs and advertising, trade shows and related expenses totaling $0.3 million.
However, due mainly to the increased revenues in the current quarter over the same period last
year, our cash compensation related costs increased $0.3 million. Included in selling and
marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0.1 million and $0.2
million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 decreased 4.1 percent to $3.8 million as compared to $4.0 million for the
same period in 2006. This decrease is a result of our concerted effort to reduce costs in order to
eventually achieve profitability. As a result, our audit, accounting and consulting fees decreased
by over $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in
2006. Additionally contributing to the reduced costs in 2007 is the recovery of previously
unbilled sales and use taxes from liable customers of $0.2 million. However, as a result of
increased legal fees generated by the law firms representing the former officers and former
directors in connection with the ongoing SEC and DOJ matters described in Note 10 Commitments
and Contingencies, the legal fees, net of insurance reimbursement, incurred during the first
quarter of 2007 were $0.6 million greater than those incurred during the same period in 2006. A
single law firm representing a former officer was responsible for $0.6 of the legal fees that we
incurred for the first quarter of 2007. We do not believe that the aggregate fees generated by
this law firm during the first quarter of 2007 were reasonable and we intend to dispute these fees.
However, we cannot predict the extent to which the amount that we ultimately pay to this law firm
for the first quarter of 2007 will be less than the $0.6 million of legal fees generated by this
law firm. Included in general and administrative expenses for each of the quarters ended March 31,
2007 and March 31, 2006 was $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was
$25,000 compared to negative expense of $46,000 for the same period in 2006. Interest expense, net
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes $0.2 million of negative interest expense
related to our common stock warrants issued in connection with our private placement in March 2005,
which represents the decrease in the fair value of common stock warrants for the three months then
ended. As a result of a provision for liquidated damages under a related registration rights
agreement, these warrants were accounted for as derivatives through December 31, 2006 and were
carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through interest expense. Effective
January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 00-19-02, Accounting for Registration
Payment Arrangements, which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or
otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately
recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Upon adoption
of FSP No. 00-19-02 on January 1, 2007, the amount originally recognized for the
22
warrants at the issuance date ($5.7 million) was reclassified to equity. The cumulative change
in fair value of these warrants recorded through interest expense since issuance (the difference
between the $5.7 million and the carrying value of the warrant liability as of December 31, 2006 of
$1.3 million), was recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce our accumulated deficit on
January 1, 2007. With the change in accounting, no interest expense was recorded for these warrants
in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Future liquidated damages will be recorded when probable
and estimable.
Interest expense, net in the 2007 and 2006 periods also includes interest income on a note
receivable for the 2003 sale of our urinary incontinence product line and interest income earned
from the investment of our cash balances.
Income from Discontinued Operations. There was no income from discontinued
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the fact that our disposition of Timm
Medical was completed during the three months ended March 31, 2006. Income from
discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.2 million or $0.01 per
basic and diluted share on 30.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. Included in the first
quarter 2006 income from discontinued operations is $418,000 for the gain on the sale of Timm
Medical and a tax provision of $151,000.
Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $3.3 million or $0.11 per
basic and diluted share on 30.9 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss
of $4.9 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share on 30.1 million weighted average shares
outstanding during the same period in 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have incurred losses from operations and have reported negative cash
flows. As of March 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $184.1 million and cash and cash
equivalents of $1.7 million.
We do not expect to reach cash flow positive operations in 2007, and we expect to continue to
generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future. These losses have resulted in part from
our continued investment to gain acceptance of our technology and investments in initiatives that
we believe should ultimately result in cost reductions. In addition to these continued investments,
although in July 2006 we resolved the investigations by the SEC and DOJ of our historical
accounting and financial reporting (see below Part II Item 1 Legal Proceedings and Note 10
Commitments and Contingencies), we still have obligations to indemnify and advance the legal fees
of our former officers and former directors in connection with the ongoing investigations and legal
proceedings related to those individuals. The amount of those legal fees may exceed the
reimbursement due to us from our directors and officers liability insurance, and the excess may
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we incurred expenses of $1.1 million relating to
legal fees of former officers and former directors, and recorded insurance recoveries of which $0.4
million. As of March 31, 2007, there remained an aggregate of $0.6 million available under this
insurance coverage. For a description of this insurance coverage, please refer to the Form 8-K
that we filed on February 25, 2005 and Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies.
We also face large cash expenditures in the future related to past due state and local taxes,
primarily sales and use tax obligations, which we estimate to be approximately $2.6 million and
which was accrued as of March 31, 2007. We are in the process of negotiating resolutions of the
past due state and local tax obligations with the applicable tax authorities.
As discussed in detail in Note 5 Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants, on October
25, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Fusion Capital which gives us the right to sell to
Fusion Capital up to $16.0 million of common stock over a two year period at prices determined
based upon the market price of our common stock at the time of each sale without any fixed discount
(in $100,000 increments every fourth business day, with additional $150,000 increments available
every third business day if the market price per share of our common stock is $1.50 or higher),
subject to our ability to comply with certain ongoing requirements. These requirements include,
among others, maintaining effectiveness of the registration statement covering the sale of the
shares purchased by Fusion Capital, and maintenance of per share trading prices at or above $1.00.
The $150,000 increment can be increased if the market price of our common stock increases. The SEC
declared the registration statement effective on December 1, 2006.
23
Through March 31, 2007 we have sold 566,978 shares of stock to Fusion Capital for total gross
proceeds of $1.1 million and an additional 153,711 shares for gross proceeds of $0.3 million
through April 30, 2007, for total net proceeds (after a
investment fee of 6.0 percent) of $1.4
million. Since we have authorized 8,000,000 shares for sale under the stock purchase agreement, the
selling price of our common stock to Fusion Capital would have had to average at least $2.00 per
share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $16.0 million. However, the average selling price
per share to date has been $1.87. Assuming the remaining shares were purchased at a price of $1.95
per share (the closing sale price of the common stock on April 30, 2007) and the purchase by Fusion
Capital of the full remaining 7,279,311 shares under the common stock purchase agreement, an
additional $14.2 million in remaining funding would be available.
We will use existing cash reserves, as well as future proceeds from sales, if any, of common
stock to Fusion Capital, to finance our projected operating and cash flow needs, along with
continued expense management efforts. In addition, we may borrow funds under our line of credit
with our bank as long as we remain in compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants
and borrowing conditions set forth in the agreements governing the line of credit. The funds we can
borrow are based on eligible trade receivables and inventory as defined. The credit facility
includes a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock box with the lender,
the proceeds from which will be applied to reduce the outstanding borrowings upon our default or if
other conditions are met. We were not in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth covenant
under our bank line of credit for the months of September to November 2006. On December 22, 2006,
we signed an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement. Among other things, the amendment (i)
modifies the borrowing base to increase the eligible accounts receivable from 80 percent to 85
percent and modifies the definition of accounts that are ineligible under the borrowing base
calculation; (ii) modifies the loan margin as defined to 1.50 percent, and (iii) waives
non-compliance with the minimum tangible net worth requirement as of September 30, 2006, October
31, 2006 and November 30, 2006, as well as modifies the terms of the covenant. As of December 31,
2006 and March 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants. On February 23, 2007, the credit
agreement was amended to further modify the minimum tangible net worth provision and to extend the
maturity date to February 27, 2008. As of March 31, 2007 we had $1.5 million outstanding on the
line of credit. Beginning in February 2007, our lock-box proceeds have been applied daily to reduce
the outstanding advances and we re-borrow the amount subject to the lenders approval since the
outstanding advances exceed 50 percent of the receivable borrowing base.
Our cash needs are not entirely predictable and the availability of funds from Fusion Capital
and our bank are subject to many conditions, including certain subjective acceleration clauses and
other provisions, some of which are predicated on events that are not within our control.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the availability of these capital resources or that they will be
sufficient to fund our ongoing operations to the point where our operations will generate positive
cash flows. In assessing whether to enter into the Fusion Capital financing and renew the bank line
of credit, we considered these factors in light of our circumstances and likely cash requirements.
After comparing the Fusion Capital financing and bank line of credit to other financing
alternatives potentially available to us, we made a business decision that the Fusion Capital
financing and bank line of credit represented the best financing alternatives then available to us.
We continue to believe that the Fusion Capital financing and bank line of credit should
provide us with the capital resources that we need to reach the point where our operations will
generate positive cash flows. However, primarily because of the subjective acceleration clauses and
other conditions referred to above, the audit report of our independent auditors contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2007 contains an unqualified opinion with an
explanatory paragraph, to the effect that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. This opinion could itself have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same
time maximizing the income we receive from our invested cash without significantly increasing risk
of loss. Our financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and bank debt. As of March 31, 2007, the carrying values of our
financial instruments approximated their fair values. Our policy is not to enter
into derivative financial instruments. In addition, we do not enter into any futures or
forward contracts and therefore we do not have significant market risk exposure with respect to
commodity prices.
24
Although we transact our business in U.S. dollars, future fluctuations in the value of the
U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products. However, we do not believe that
we currently have any significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk and have not hedged
exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) 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 reports
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any
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.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this
report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting during our first fiscal quarter for 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Please refer to the legal proceedings described in Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings in the
Form 10-K that we filed on March 16, 2007. There have been no new reportable legal proceedings or
material developments except for the indictments described below.
On April 9, 2007, two former officers of the Company were indicted by a federal grand jury in
Orange County, California. The indictment charges the former officers with 18 counts of wire
fraud, two counts of securities fraud, one count of false certification of financial reports, one
count of false statements in reports filed with the SEC, one count of
lying to accountants and four counts of honest services wire fraud. These former officers left the Company in 2003. The
Company remains contractually obligated to pay legal fees for and otherwise indemnify these former
officers. As previously reported, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the
DOJ in July 2006. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the DOJs investigation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Please see our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2007, which
