Transitional Small Business Disclosure Format (check one): Yes [ ] No [X] PART I Item 1. Description of Business General The Company develops, manufactures, sources, markets and sells ophthalmic surgical and diagnostic instrumentation and related accessories, including disposable products. The Company's surgical equipment is designed for minimally invasive cataract treatment. The Company's cataract removal system, the PhotonTM laser system, is a laser cataract surgery system designed to be marketed as the next generation of cataract removal. Because of the "going concern" status of the Company, management has focused efforts on those products and activities that will, in its opinion, achieve the most resource efficient short-term cash flow to the Company. As reflected in the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, diagnostic products are currently the Company's major focus and the Photon(TM) and other extensive research and development projects have been put on hold pending future evaluation when the financial position of the Company improves. Due to the lack of FDA approval and the lack of current evidence to support recoverability, the Company has recorded an inventory reserve to offset the majority of the inventory associated with the Photon(TM). In addition, most inventory associated with the Precisionist Thirty Thousand(TM) has been reserved for due to the estimated lack of recoverability. The Company's focus is not on any specific diagnostic product or products, but rather on its entire group of diagnostic products. The PhotonTM can be sold in markets outside of the United States. Both the PhotonTM and the Precisionist ThirtyThousand TM are manufactured as an Ocular Surgery WorkstationTM. The Company is considering marketing the PhotonTM and other lasers for use in eye care. The Company's diagnostic products include a pachymeter, a P55 pachymetric analyzer, a P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan, P40, P45 and P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscopes, a P37 A/B Scan, two perimeters, a corneal topographer and the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM. The diagnostic ultrasonic products including the P55 pachymetric analyzer, the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan and the P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope were acquired from Humphrey Systems, a division of Carl Zeiss in 1998. The Company developed and offered for sale in the fall of 2000 the P45, which combines the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan and the UBM biomicroscope in one machine. In addition, the Company developed and offered for sale in March 2005 the P60, which represents the fourth generation of UBM devices and has better visual clarity and image flexibility than earlier versions. The perimeter and the corneal topographer were added when the Company acquired the outstanding shares of the stock of Vismed, Inc. d/b/a/ DiconTM in June 2000. The Company purchased Ocular Blood Flow, Ltd. in June 2000 whose principal product is the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM. This product is designed for the measurement of intraocular pressure and pulsatile ocular blood flow volume for detection and monitoring of glaucoma. The Company is currently developing additional applications for all of its diagnostic products. In June 1997, the Company received FDA clearance to market the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM for measurement of intraocular pressure and pulsatile ocular blood flow for the detection of glaucoma and other retina related diseases. Ocular blood flow is critical, the reduction of which may cause nerve fiber bundle death through oxygen deprivation, thus resulting in visual field loss associated with glaucoma. The Company's Blood Flow AnalyzerTM is a portable automated in-office system that presents an affordable method for ocular blood flow testing for the ophthalmic and optometric practitioner. In June 2000, the Company purchased Occular Blood Flow, Ltd., the manufacturer of the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM. The terms and conditions of the sale were $100,000 in cash and 100,000 shares of common stock. In April 2001, the Company received authorization to use a common procedure terminology or CPT code from the American Medical Association for procedures performed with the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM , for reimbursement purposes for doctors using the device. However, certain payers have elected not to reimburse doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). On July 23, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets with the Humphrey Systems Division of Carl Zeiss, Inc. to acquire the ownership and manufacturing rights to certain assets of Humphrey Systems that are used in the manufacturing and marketing of an ultrasonic microprocessor-based line of ophthalmic diagnostic instruments, including the Ultrasonic Biometer Model 820, the A/B Scan System Model 837, the Ultrasound Pachymeter Model 855, and the Ultrasound Biomicroscope Model 840, and all accessories, packaging and end-user collateral materials for each of the product lines for the sum of $500,000, payable in the form of 78,947 shares of common stock which were issued to Humphrey Systems and 26,316 shares of common stock which were issued to business broker Douglas Adams. If the net proceeds received by Humphrey Systems from the sale of the shares issued pursuant to the Agreement was less than $375,000, after payment of commissions, transfer taxes and other expenses relating to the sale of such shares, the Company would be required to issue additional shares of common stock, or pay additional funds to Humphrey Systems as would be necessary to increase the net proceeds from the sale of the assets to $375,000. Since Humphrey Systems realized only $162,818 from the sale of 78,947 shares of its common stock, the Company issued 80,000 additional shares in January 1999 to enable Humphrey Systems to receive its guaranteed amount. The amount of $21,431 was paid to the Company as excess proceeds from the sale of this additional stock. 2 The rights to the ophthalmic diagnostic instruments, which have been purchased from Humphrey Systems, complement both the Company's cataract surgical equipment and the Company's ocular Blood Flow AnalyzerTM. The Ultrasonic Biometer calculates the prescription for the intraocular lens to be implanted during cataract surgery. The P55 pachymetric measures corneal thickness for the new refractive surgical applications that eliminate the need for eyeglasses and for optometric applications including contact lens fitting. The P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan combines the Ultrasonic Biometer and ultrasound imaging for advanced diagnostic testing throughout the eye and is a viable tool for retinal specialists. The P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope utilizes microscopic digital ultrasound resolution for detection of tumors and improved glaucoma management. The Company introduced the P45 in the fall of 2000, which combines the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan, and the Ultrasonic Biometer in one machine. On October 21, 1999, the Company purchased Mentor's surgical product line, consisting of the Phaco SIStemTM, the OdysseyTM and the Surg-E-TrolTM. This acquisition was an attempt to round out the Company's cataract surgery product line by adding entry-level, moderately priced cataract surgery products. The transaction was paid for with $1.5 million worth of the Company's common stock. Due to the lack of sales volume of these products, they were determined to be obsolete and a reserve was established to offset all inventory associated with these products. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company sold all inventory rights associated with the SIStem(TM) and Odyssey(TM) for $125,000. On June 5, 2000, the Company purchased Vismed Inc. d/b/a DiconTM under a pooling of interest accounting treatment. The purchase included the DiconTM perimeter product line consisting of the LD 400, the TKS 5000, the SSTTM, FieldLinkTM, FieldViewTM and Advanced FieldView and the corneal topographer product line, the CT 200TM, the CT 50 and an ongoing service and software business. Perimeters are used to determine retinal sensitivity testing the visual pathway. Corneal topographers are used to determine the shape and integrity of the cornea, the anterior surface of the eye. Corneal topographers are used for the refractive surgical applications that eliminate the need for eyeglasses and for optometric applications including contact lens fitting. In January 2002, the Company purchased the Innovatome(TM) microkeratome of Innovative Optics, Inc. by issuing an aggregate of 1,272,825 shares of its common stock, warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share, exercisable over a period of three years from the closing date, and $100,000 in cash. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141. The Company acquired from Innovative Optics raw materials, work in process and finished goods inventories. Additionally, the Company acquired the furniture and equipment used in the manufacturing process of the microkeratome console and the inspection and packaging of the disposable blades. The Company was unsuccessful in supplying the disposable blades. The Company discontinued the marketing and sales efforts of this product during the third quarter of 2002. On April 1, 2002, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with John Charles Casebeer, M.D. to develop and promote the microkeratome. For Dr. Casebeer's services during the period from April 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002, the Company issued him a total of 43,684 shares of its common stock, representing payment of $100,000 in stock for his services. All assets acquired from Innovative Optics, including remaining inventory with a book value of $160,000 and equipment and intangible assets with a book value of $2,082,000, were written off during 2002. On September 19, 2002, the Company completed a transaction with International Bio-Immune Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation , in which the Company acquired 2,663,254 shares, or 19.9% of the outstanding shares of its common stock, and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of its common stock at $2.50 per share for a period of two years, through the exchange and issuance of 736,945 shares of its common stock, the lending of 300,000 shares of its common stock to the company and the payment of certain of its expenses through the issuance of an aggregate of 94,000 shares of its common stock to the company and its counsel. During 2004, the Company sold all 2,663,254 shares of International Bio-Immune Systems stock for net proceeds of $505,000. On December 3, 2003, the Company executed a purchase agreement with American Optisurgical, Inc. for the sale of the Mentor surgical products line, consisting of the Phaco SlStem(TM) and the Odyssey(TM). The assets sold in the transaction included patents, trademarks, software codes and programs, supplies, work in process, finished goods, and molds related to the equipment. The purchase price paid to the Company by American Optisurgical for the assets was $125,000. The purchase agreement also contained a noncompete provision in which the Company agreed for a period of three years from the closing date not to own, manage, operate or control any business that competes with cataract removal equipment substantially the same as the proprietary technology of the Phaco SlStem(TM) and the Odyssey(TM). On September 28, 2004, the Company entered into an Investment Banking Agreement with Alpha Advisory Services, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Alpha Advisory Services is to use its best efforts to provide the following services to the Company: (i) review of and make recommendations regarding the Company's business plan and promotional materials; (ii) identify and contact potential investors in the United States and Europe for potential investment in 3 the Company's securities; (iii) organize meetings with potential investors and participate in such meetings; and (iv) assist the Company in future financings, mergers, acquisitions and potential buyouts. The term of the agreement was for a period of three months, which was to be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms. Following the initial three month period, either party could terminate the agreement upon 15 days written notice to the other party. In consideration for the services to be performed under the agreement, Alpha Advisory Services was to receive a fee of $3,000 per month, plus reasonable travel and other expenses, and warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.15 per share. The warrants are exerciseable, on a cashless basis, over a two year period from the date of issuance. The Company provided notice to Alpha Advisory Services to terminate the agreement, effective January 28, 2006. During the four month period the agreement was in effect, the Company paid Alpha Advisory Services a total of $12,000 pursuant to the terms of the agreement. In March 2005, the Company introduced the P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope. The P60 Biomicroscope represents the fourth generation of UBM devices and has better visual clarity and image flexibility than earlier versions. On March 1, 2005, the Company was awarded the CE Mark for the P60, which enables it to market the device in 19 Western European countries, most of the Middle East and India, and some parts of Asia and the Pacific Rim. On May 26, 2005, the Company received FDA 510(k) premarket approval for the P60, which allows it to be sold in the United States. On February 9, 2006, the Company received a Canadian device license for the P60, which allows it to be sold in Canada. On June 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Worldwide OEM Agreement with MEDA Co., Ltd., one of China's leading developers and producers of ultrasound devices. Under the terms of the agreement, MEDA agrees to jointly engineer, develop and manufacture the Company's next generation of the Ultrasound BioMicroscope, as well as other proprietary new products and enhancement of the Company's current products. The products to be manufactured by MEDA, at agreed upon costs, and supplied to the Company for resale include the following new products: an ultrasound biomicroscope, two ultrasound A/B Scans, a biometric A-Scan and a pachymeter. The agreement provides that the Company and MEDA agree to jointly develop and collaborate in the improvement and enhancement of the Company's products and, in the interest of product development, enhancement and differentiation, MEDA agrees to give consideration to potential software development or enhancements made available to the Company for its products. Moreover, in the interest of product improvement, MEDA agrees to collaborate with the Company and its designated engineers, employees and consultants to consider and potentially implement jointly or individually the development of product enhancements on the Company's products to be manufactured by MEDA. The software and hardware modifications designed jointly by the Company and MEDA will be considered the joint intellectual property of the Company and MEDA and may be used, without restriction, unless otherwise previously agreed to, by either party. MEDA also agrees to provide a 12 month warranty on all products that it manufactures for the Company. If defects cannot be corrected at our facilities, the products may be returned to MEDA for the purposes of carrying out such repairs as required, and MEDA agrees to return the repaired products to the Company or its designated agent or distributor within ten working days from the date of receiving such products, at no cost to the Company, and MEDA will pay return freight costs. MEDA further agrees to endeavor to answer any technical inquiries concerning the products it has manufactured. MEDA also agrees to train the Company's technical service engineers and designated international distributors as soon as possible after the signing of this agreement, and as future needs arise and as MEDA can reasonably fit such training into the regular schedules of its employees. MEDA agrees to determine the need for future training on new products as necessary and will offer such training in Tiangin, China. For training conducted outside China, the Company or its designated distributors and/or service centers will be responsible for the traveling, living and hotel expenses for MEDA's engineers. Training is at no charge to the Company. The training will also be made available to the Company's designated repair agencies in order to provide service and repair on a worldwide basis. Such agencies will be considered authorized repair facilities for the products manufactured by MEDA. MEDA provides the Company with several ultrasound devices. These devices include the P37-II A/B Scan, the P2000 A-Scan Biometric Analyzer, P2200 Pachymeter and the P2500, which is a combined A-Scan and pachymeter. MEDA also manufactures the P2700 and P37-II A/B Scans and the P50 Ultrasound Biomicroscope. The agreement provides exclusive distribution rights to the Company throughout most of the world, including the United States and Canada, once FDA approval is received on these devices. The agreement shall be effective for three years from date of execution. At the end of the three year term, representatives of the Company and MEDA will confer to determine whether to extend the term of the agreement. This will have a practical effect of extending the term of the agreement for an additional 120 days. If mutual agreement for extending the term of the agreement is not reached within 120 days after the end of the three year term, then the agreement will be 4 deemed terminated. However, if within the 120 day period, the Company and MEDA mutually agree to extend the term of the agreement, then thereafter either party may terminate the agreement by providing 12 months prior written notice to the other party. All outstanding orders at the time of notification will be supplied under the terms of the agreement, and MEDA will continue to fulfill all orders from the Company until the 12 month notice period has expired. On January 31 and February 1, 2007, the Company received FDA 510(k) pre-market approval for a new generation of ultrasound devices. This approval allows the new devices to be sold in the United States. The new ultrasound devices, which are to be manufactured by MEDA and sold by the Company in the United States, include the P2000 A-Scan (used to measure axial length of the eye), the P2200 Pachymeter (used for measuring corneal thickness), the P2500 A- Scan/Pachymeter (a combination of the two stand alone devices), the P2700 AB/Scan (an ultrasound imaging device for detecting abnormalities within the eye) and the P37-II (a more advanced AB/Scan used to provide portability for ophthalmology veterinary applications) and the P50 Ultrasound Biomicroscope for high frequency imaging of the anterior chamber of the eye. On September 25, 2006, the Company entered into a Worldwide OEM Agreement with Tinsley, a division of Hartest Precision Instruments Limited, and one of Europe's leading developers and producers of visual fields analysis devices also referred to as perimeters. Under the terms of the agreement, Tinsley agrees to engineer, develop and manufacture the Company's newest perimeter, the LD700 Visual Fields Analyzer. The product is to be manufactured by Tinsley at agreed upon costs and supplied to the Company for resale. Background Corporate History: The Company's business originated with Paradigm Medical, Inc., a California corporation formed in October 1989. Paradigm Medical, Inc. developed its present ophthalmic business and was operated by its founders Thomas F. Motter and Robert W. Millar. In May 1993, Paradigm Medical, Inc. merged with Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. At the time of the merger, the Company was a dormant public shell existing under the name French Bar Industries, Inc. French Bar had operated a mining and tourist business in Montana. Prior to its merger with Paradigm Medical, Inc. in 1993, French Bar had disposed of its mineral and mining assets in a settlement of outstanding debt and had returned to the status of a dormant entity. Pursuant to the merger, the Company caused a 1-for-7.96 reverse stock split of its shares of common stock. The Company then acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Paradigm Medical, Inc. using shares of its own common stock as consideration. As part of the merger, the Company changed its name from French Bar Industries, Inc. to Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. and the management of Paradigm Medical, Inc. assumed control of the company. In April 1994, the Company caused a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its shares of common stock. In February 1996, the Company re-domesticated to Delaware pursuant to a reorganization. Overview Disorders of the Eye: The human eye is a complex organ which functions much like a camera, with a lens in front and a light-sensitive screen, the retina, in the rear. The intervening space contains a transparent jelly-like substance, the vitreous, which together with the outer layer, the sclera and cornea, helps the eyeball to maintain its shape. Light enters through the cornea, a transparent domed window at the front of the eye. The size of the pupil, an aperture in the center of the iris, controls the amount of light that is then focused by the lens onto the retina as an upside-down image. The lens is the internal optical component of the eye and is responsible for adjusting focus. The lens is enclosed in a capsule. The retina is believed to contain more than 130 million light-receptor cells. These cells convert light into nerve impulses that are transmitted right-side up by the optic nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted. Muscles attached to the eye control its movements. Birth defects, trauma from accidents, disease and age related deterioration of the components of the eye could all contribute to eye disorders. The most common eye disorders are either pathological or refractive. Many pathological disorders of the eye can be corrected by surgery. These include cataracts (clouded lenses), glaucoma (elevated or low pressure in the eye), loss of nerve fibers resulting in loss of vision, corneal disorders such as scars, defects and irregular surfaces and vitro-retinal disorders such as the attachment of membrane growths to the retina causing blood leakage within the eye. All of these disorders can impair vision. Many refractive disorders can be corrected through the use of eyeglasses and contact lenses. Myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and presbyopia (inability to focus) are three of the most common refractive disorders. Ultrasound Technology: Ultrasound devices have been used in ophthalmology since the late 1960's for diagnostic and surgical applications when treating or correcting eye disorders. In diagnostics, ultrasound instruments are used to measure distances and shapes of various parts of the eye for prescription of eyeglasses and contact lenses and for calculation of lens implant prescriptions for cataract surgery treatment. These devices emit sound waves through a hand held probe that is placed onto or near the eye with the sound waves emitted being reflected by the targeted tissue. The reflection "echo" is computed into a 5 distance value that is presented as a visual image, or cross section of the eye, with precise measurements displayed and printed for diagnostic use by the surgeon. Surgical use of ultrasonics in ophthalmology is limited to treatment of cataract lenses in the eye through a procedure called phacoemulsification or "phaco." A primary objective of cataract surgeries is the removal of the opacified (cataract) lens through an incision that is as small as possible. The opacified lens is then replaced by a new synthetic lens intraocular implant. Phaco technology involves a process by which a cataract is broken into small pieces using ultrasonic shock waves delivered through a hollow, open-ended metal needle attached to a hand held probe. The fragments of cataracts tissue are then removed through aspiration. Phaco systems were first designed in the late 1960's after various attempts by surgeons to use other techniques to remove opacified lenses, including crushing, cutting, freezing, drilling and applying chemicals to the cataract. By the mid-1970's, ultrasound had proven to be the most effective technology to fragment cataracts. Market Scope's (Manchester, Missouri), The 2001 Report on the Worldwide Cataract Market, January 2001 indicates that phaco cataract treatment was the technology for cataract removal used in over 80% of surgeries in the United States and over 20% of all foreign surgeries. Laser Technology: The term "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers have been commonly used for a variety of medical and ophthalmic procedures since the 1960's. Lasers emit photons into a highly intense beam of energy that typically radiates at a single wavelength or color. Laser energy is generated and intensified in a laser tube or solid-state cavity by charging and exciting photons of energy contained within material called the lazing medium. This stored light energy is then delivered to targeted tissue through focusing lenses by means of optical mirrors or fiber optics. Most laser systems use solid state crystals or gases as their lazing medium. Differing wavelengths of laser light are produced by the selection of the lazing medium. The medium selected determines the laser wavelength emitted, which in turn is absorbed by the targeted tissue in the body. Different tissues absorb different wavelengths or colors of laser light. The degree of absorption by the tissue also varies with the choice of wavelength and is an important variable in treating various tissues. In a surgical laser, light is emitted in either a continuous stream or in a series of short duration "pulses", thus interacting with the tissue through heat and shock waves, respectively. Several factors, including the wavelength of the laser and the frequency and duration of the pulse or exposure, determine the amount of energy that interacts with the targeted tissue and thus, the amount of surgical effect on the tissue. Lasers are widely accepted in the ophthalmic community for treatment of certain eye disorders and are popular for surgical applications because of their relatively noninvasive nature. In general, ophthalmic lasers, such as argon, Nd:YAG and excimer (argon-fluoride) are used to coagulate, cut or ablate targeted tissue. The argon laser is used to treat leaking blood vessels on the retina (retinopathy) and retinal detachment. The excimer laser is used in corneal refractive surgery. The Nd:YAG pulsed laser is used to perforate clouded posterior capsules (posterior capsulotomy) and to relieve glaucoma-induced elevated pressure in the eye (iridotomy, trabeulorplasty, transcleral cyclophotocoagulation). Argon, Nd:YAG and excimer lasers are primarily used for one or two clinical applications each. In contrast to these conventional laser systems, the Company's PhotonTM laser cataract system is designed to be used for multiple ophthalmic applications, including certain new applications that may be made possible with its proprietary technology. Such new applications, however, must be tested in clinical trials and be approved by the FDA. Products The Company's principal proprietary surgical products are systems for use by ophthalmologists to perform surgical treatment procedures to remove cataracts. The Company has complete ownership of each product with no technological licensing limitations. Precisionist ThirtyThousandTM: The Precisionist ThirtyThousandTM is the Company's core phaco surgical technology. The PrecisionistTM was placed into production and offered for sale in 1997. As a phaco cataract surgery system, the Company believes the PrecisionistTM with its new fluidics panel is equal or superior to the present competitive systems in the United States. However, due to the lack of recent sales, the majority of the Company's inventory associated with the Precisionist Thirty Thousand(TM) has been estimated to be obsolete and therefore a reserve for such inventory has been recorded. The system features a graphic color display and unique proprietary on board computer and graphic user interface linked to a soft key membrane panel for flexible programmable operation. The system provides real-time "on-the-fly" adjustment capabilities for each surgical parameter during the surgical procedure for high volume applications. In addition, the PrecisionistTM provides one hundred pre-programmable surgery setups, with a second level of subprogrammed custom modes within each major surgical screen (i.e., ultrasound phaco and irrigation/aspiration modes). The PrecisionistTM also features the Company's newly developed proprietary fluidics panel which is completely noninvasive for improved sterility and to provide a surgical environment in the eye that virtually eliminates fluidic surge and solves chamber maintenance problems normally associated with phaco cataract surgery. This new fluidics system provides 6 greater control for the surgeon and allows the safe operation at much higher vacuum settings by sampling changes in aspiration 100 times per second. Greater vacuum in phaco surgery means less use of ultrasound or laser energy to fragment the cataract and less chance for surrounding tissue damage. In addition to the full complement of surgical modalities (e.g., irrigation, aspiration, bipolar coagulation and anterior vitrectomy), system automation includes "dimensional" audio feedback of vacuum levels and voice confirmation for major system functions, providing an intuitive environment in which the advanced phaco surgeon can concentrate on the surgical technique rather than the equipment. Sales of the PrecisionistTM and related accessories were 0% of total revenues in both the fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. Ocular Surgery WorkstationTM: The Ocular Surgery WorkstationTM comprises the base system of the Precisionist ThirtyThousandTM and is the first system, to the Company's knowledge, which uses the expansive capabilities of today's advanced computer technology to offer seamless open architecture expandability of the system hardware and software modules. The WorkstationTM utilizes an embedded open architecture computer developed for the Company and controlled by a proprietary software system developed by the Company that interfaces with all components of the system. Ultrasound, fluidics (irrigation), aspiration, venting, coagulation and anterior vitrectomy (pneumatic) are all included in the base model. Each component is controlled as a peripheral module within this fully integrated system. This approach allows for seamless expansion and refinement of the WorkstationTM with the ability to add other hardware and software features. Expansion such as the Company's PhotonTM laser system and hardware for additional surgical applications are easily implemented by means of a preexisting expansion rack, which resides in the base of the WorkstationTM. These expanded capabilities could include, but would not be limited to laser systems, video surgical fiber optic imaging, cutting and electrosurgery equipment. However, there is no guarantee that the WorkstationTM will be accepted in the marketplace. If the FDA approves the PhotonTM, the Company will refer to the WorkstationTM as the PhotonTM Ocular Surgery WorkstationTM. To date, the Company has not commercially developed or offered for sale any other added hardware or software features to its Workstation TM. PhotonTM Laser System: The PhotonTM laser cataract system, which is still subject to FDA approval, is designed to be installed as a seamless plug-in upgrade or add-on to the Company's PrecisionistTM Ocular Surgery WorkstationTM. The plug-in platform concept is unique in the ophthalmic surgical market for systems of this magnitude and presents a unique market opportunity for the Company. The main elements of the laser system are the Nd:YAG laser module, PhotonTM laser software package and interchangeable disposable hand held fiber optic laser cataract probe. The PhotonTM laser utilizes the on board microprocessor computer of the WorkstationTM to generate short pulse laser energy developed through the patented LCPTM to targeted cataract tissue inside the eye, while simultaneously irrigating the eye and aspirating the diseased cataract tissue from the eye. The probe is smaller in diameter than conventional ultrasound phaco needles and presents no damaging vibration or heat build up in the eye. The Company's Phase I clinical trials demonstrated that this probe could easily reduce the size of the cataract incision from 3.0 mm to under 2.0 mm thereby reducing surgical trauma and complementing current foldable intraocular implant technology. The laser probe may also eliminate any possibility for burns around the incision or at the cornea and may therefore be used with cataract surgery techniques that utilize a more delicate clear cornea incision which can eliminate sutures and be conducted with topical anesthesia. However, this system may not effectively remove harder grade cataracts. Harder grade cataracts can be removed using the already existing ultrasound capability of the PrecisionistTM. Because of the "going concern" status of the Company, management has focused efforts on those products and activities that will, in its opinion, achieve the most resource efficient short-term cash flow to the Company. As reflected in the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, diagnostic products are currently the Company's major focus and the Photon(TM) and other extensive research and development projects have been put on hold pending future evaluation when the Company's financial position improves. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timetable for obtaining FDA approval and the lack of significant revenue from the other surgical products, the Company has recorded an inventory reserve against the majority of the inventory associated with the Photon(TM) and Precisionist Thirty Thousand (TM). The Company's focus is not on any specific diagnostic product or products, but rather on its entire group of diagnostic products. At some point in the future, the Company may intend, subject to economic feasibility and the availability of adequate funds, to refine the laser delivery system and laser cataract surgical technique used on soft cataracts through expanded research and clinical studies. Subject to the aforementioned constraints, the Company intends to refine the fluidics management system by improving chamber maintenance during surgical procedures and to develop techniques to optimize time and improve invasive techniques through expanded research and clinical studies. As far as the Company can determine, no integrated single laser photofragmenting probe is presently available on the market that uses laser energy directly, contained in an enclosed probe, to denature cataract tissue at a precise location inside the eye while simultaneously irrigating and aspirating the site. The Company's laser system is based upon the concept that pulsed laser energy produced with the microprocessor controlled Nd:YAG laser system provides ophthalmic surgeons with a more precise and less traumatic alternative in cataract surgery. Although conventional ultrasonic surgical systems have proven effective and reliable in clinical use for many years, their use of high frequency shock waves and vibration to fragment the cataract can make the procedure difficult and can present risk of complication both during and after 7 surgery. In contrast, the Company's laser system, which utilizes short centralized energy bursts, should permit the delivery of the laser beam with less trauma to adjacent tissue. Therefore, unlike ultrasonic systems, whose vibrations and shock waves affect (and can damage) non-cataracts tissues within the eye, the Company's PhotonTM laser cataract system should only affect tissues with which it comes into direct contact. In October of 2000, the Company received FDA approval for the PhotonTM WorkstationTM to be used with a 532mm green laser which is effective for medical procedures other than cataract removal, such as photocoagulation of retinal and venous anomalies within or outside the eye, pigmented lesions around the orbital socket, posterior or anterior procedures associated with glaucoma or diabetes and general photocoagulation for various dermatological venous anomalies including telangiectasia (surface veins), or commonly referred to as "spider veins". The goal is to be able to integrate multiple laser wavelengths into one system or workstation that can be used for multiple medical specialties. This approval represents only one of the potential applications that could represent substantial growth opportunities including additional sales of equipment, instruments, accessories and disposables. The PhotonTM Ocular Surgery WorkstationTM has not been commercially developed with any other added hardware or software features. There is no guarantee that the ophthalmic surgery market will accept the laser in this capacity or that the FDA will grant approval. Regulatory approval would require completion of pending Photon(TM) clinical trials and resubmission of a 510(k) predicate device application to the FDA. Because of the "going concern" status of the Company, management has focused efforts on those products and activities that will, in its opinion, achieve the most resource efficient short-term cash flow to the Company. As reflected in the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, diagnostic products consisting mainly of the P40, P45 and P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscopes, P37 A/B Scan, perimeters, CT 50 Corneal Topographer, and Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) are currently the Company's major focus and the Photon(TM) and other extensive research and development projects have been put on hold pending future evaluation when the financial position of the company improves. The Company's focus is not on any specific diagnostic product or products, but rather on the entire group of diagnostic products. On March 31, 2005, Joseph W. Spadafora filed a complaint against us the Company the United States District Court, District of Utah, in which he alleges that he was a clinical investigator in the study for the FDA involving the Company's Photon(TM) laser system where he performed numerous surgeries using the Photon(TM). Dr. Spadafora contends that in meetings with the Company's personnel he suggested ways in which the handpiece on the Photon(TM) could be improved. Dr. Spadafora further contends that on August 5, 1999, when the Company filed a patent application for an improved handpiece with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, he was not named as one of the inventors or a co-inventor on the patent application. On September 24, 2004, the Company was issued a patent entitled, "Laser Surgical Handpiece with Photon Trap." Because the Company did not list Dr. Spadafora as one of the inventors or a co-inventor on the patent, Dr. Spadafora requests in his complaint that a court order be entered declaring that he is the inventor or co-inventor of the patent and, as a result, is entitled to all or part of the royalties and profits that the Company earned or will earn from the sale of any product incorporating or using the improved handpiece. On June 2, 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Dr. Spadafora for the dismissal of the lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agrees to provide Dr. Spadafora with the exclusive right over a three-year period to market and sell the Photon(TM) laser system and its components, including the inventory and intellectual property rights. If Dr. Spadafora is successful in finding a prospective purchaser to acquire the Photon(TM) laser system upon terms acceptable to the Company, it agrees to pay him a commission equal to 10% of the total purchase price. If the purchase price for the Photon(TM) laser system includes a royalty or other payments payable to the Company on later sales of the Photon(TM) laser system other than its handpiece component, the Company agrees to pay Dr. Spadafora 8% of such royalties or other payments on such later sales through the full term of the purchase agreement. the Company further agrees that if a purchase price includes a royalty or other payments payable to the Company on later sales of the handpiece component of the Photon(TM) laser system, the Company agrees to pay Dr. Spadafora 15% of such royalties or other payments through the full term of the purchase agreement. Additionally, the settlement agreement provides that if the Company is successful through its sole efforts, without any assistance from Dr. Spadafora, in finding a purchaser to acquire the Photon(TM) laser system or its components during the second or third year of Dr. Spadafora's exclusive rights, the Company agrees to pay Dr. Spadafora a commission equal to 1.7% of the total purchase price and of the Company's royalties or other payments on subsequent sales of the Photon(TM) laser system or its components through the full term of the purchase agreement. Finally, the settlement agreement provides for mutual releases by Dr. Spadafora and the Company for the benefit of each other, and that the Company and Dr. Spadafora each agree to pay their own costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit and the preparation of the settlement agreement. Surgical Instruments and Disposables: In addition to the cataract surgery equipment, the Company's surgical systems utilize or will utilize accessory instruments and disposables, some of which are proprietary to us. These include replacement ultrasound tips, sleeves, tubing sets and fluidics packs, instrument 8 drapes and laser cataract probes. The Company intends to expand its disposable accessories as it penetrates the cataract surgery market and expands the treatment applications for its WorkstationTM. These products contributed 0% of total revenues for both 2005 and 2004. Diagnostic Eye Care Products: Glaucoma is a second leading cause of adult blindness in the world. Glaucoma is described as a partial or total loss of visual field resulting from certain progressive disease or degeneration of the retina, macula or nerve fiber bundle. The cause and mechanism of the glaucoma pathology is not completely understood. Present detection methods focus on the measurement of intraocular pressure in the eye, visual field and observation of the optic nerve head to determine the possibility of pressure being exerted upon the retina, and optic nerve fiber bundle, which can diminish visual field. Recently, retinal blood circulation has been indicated as a key component in the presence of glaucoma. Some companies produce color Doppler equipment in the $80,000 price range intended to provide measurement of ocular blood flow activity in order to diagnose and treat glaucoma at an earlier stage. Blood Flow AnalyzerTM: In June 1997, the Company received FDA clearance to market the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM for early detection and treatment management of glaucoma and other retina related diseases. The device measures not only intraocular pressure but also pulsatile ocular blood flow, the reduction of which may cause nerve fiber bundle death through oxygen deprivation thus resulting in visual field loss associated with glaucoma. The Company's Blood Flow AnalyzerTM is a portable automated in office system that presents an affordable method for ocular blood flow testing for the ophthalmic and optometric practitioner. This was its first diagnostic eye care device. The device is a portable desktop system that utilizes a proprietary and patented pneumatic Air Membrane Applanation ProbeTM or AMAP(TM), which can be attached to any model of standard examination slit lamp, which is then placed on the cornea of the patient's eye to measure the intraocular pressure within the eye. The device is unique in that it reads a series of intraocular pressure pulses over a short period of time (approximately five to ten seconds) and generates a waveform profile, which can be correlated to blood flow volume within the eye. A proprietary software algorithm developed by David M. Silver, Ph.D., at Johns Hopkins University, calculates the blood flow volume. The device presents a numerical intraocular pressure reading and blood flow analysis rating in a concise printout, which is affixed to the patient history file. In addition, the data generated by the device can be downloaded to a personal computer system for advanced database development and management. The Company markets the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM as a stand-alone model packaged with a custom built computer system. The Blood Flow AnalyzerTM utilizes a single use disposable cover for the Air Membrane Applanation ProbeTM, a corneal probe which is shipped in sterile packages. The probe tip cover provides accurate readings and acts as a prophylactic barrier for the patient. The device has been issued a patent in the European Economic Community and the United States and has a patent pending in Japan. The FDA cleared the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM for marketing in June 1997 and the Company commenced selling the system in September 1997. In addition to the Humphrey products, this diagnostic product allowed the Company to expand its market to approximately 35,000 optometry practitioners in the United States in addition to the approximately 18,000 ophthalmic practitioners who currently perform eye surgeries and are candidates for the Company's surgical systems. In April 2001, the Company received written authorization from the CPT Editorial Research and Development Department of the American Medical Association to use common procedure terminology or CPT code number 92120 for its Blood Flow AnalyzerTM, for reimbursement purposes for doctors using the device. However, certain payers have elected not to reimburse doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). The Company is continuing its aggressive campaign to educate the payers about the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM), its purposes and the significance of its performance in patient care in order to achieve reimbursements to the doctors. Currently, there is reimbursement by insurance payors to doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) in 22 states and partial reimbursement in four other states. The amount of reimbursement to doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) generally ranges from $56.00 to $76.00 per patient, depending upon the insurance payor. Insurance payors providing reimbursement for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) have the discretion to increase or reduce the amount of reimbursement. The Company is endeavoring to obtain reimbursement by insurance payors in other states where there is currently no reimbursement being made. The manufacturing activities for the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM have been moved to the Salt Lake City facility from the outsourced plant located in England. On October 21, 2002, the Company received FDA approval on its 510(k) application for additional indications of use for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). The additional indications include pulsatile ocular blood flow and pulsatile ocular blood volume. These are diagnostic measurements that assess the hemodynamic and vascular health of the eye. Also, the Company is continuing its aggressive campaign to educate the insurance payers about the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM), its purposes and the significance of its performance in patient care in order to achieve reimbursements to the doctors using its Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). Sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) and related accessories accounted for 10% and 4% of total sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Dicon(TM) Perimeters: DiconTM perimeters consist of the LD 400, the TKS 5000, and software consisting of FieldLinkTM, FieldViewTM and Advanced FieldView. Perimeters are used to determine retinal sensitivity testing the visual pathway. Perimeters have become a standard of care in the detection and 9 monitoring of glaucoma worldwide. Perimetry is reimbursable worldwide. The DiconTM perimeters feature patented kinetic fixation and voice synthesis now in 27 different languages. Software programs are sold to assist in the analysis of the test results. Sales of the perimeters and related accessories generated 35% and 28% of the total revenues for 2006 and 2005, respectively. The LD 400FT, or Fast Threshold Autoperimeter, is the successor to the LD 400. The device is an autoperimeter used to measure patient visual fields. The LD 400FT is identical in hardware to the LD 400 but it uses new software to enable a fast threshold test. This test reduces the time required by ophthalmologists and optometrists conducting autoperimetry tests by more than 40% by running an abbreviated test at light levels determined to be sufficient to be seen in normal patients. The procedure currently takes more than 15 minutes. The fast threshold test by the LD 400FT is similar to tests by other devices on the market. Healthy patients will pass the test. Patients with reduced visual fields will be flagged by the test enabling the device to automatically run a more comprehensive examination to determine the extent of the visual field loss. All existing LD 400s can be upgraded to support the new fast threshold test through the purchase of a software package. The LD700 Perimeter is the next generation of perimeters, providing a small footprint and compact design. The test given with the LD700 test for visual field loss that is often an indicator of the presence of glaucoma. The LD700 is designed to identify glaucoma suspects and also monitor the onset of glaucoma in patients afflicted with this eye disease. It is also used in the management of medication used to treat glaucoma to assure the prescribed medication is effective in slowing the progression of glaucoma and other ailments that result in visual field loss. Dicon(TM) Corneal Topographers: DiconTM corneal topographers include the CT 200TM and the CT 50. Corneal topographers are used to determine the shape and integrity of the cornea, the anterior surface of the eye. Clinical applications for corneal topographers include refractive surgery that eliminates the need for eyeglasses and optometric applications including contact lens fitting. Revenues from the topographer and related accessories were 3% of the total revenues for both 2006 and 2005. An enhanced version of the CT 200(TM) was introduced during the fourth quarter of 2003. The Company has completed the upgrades to the CT 200(TM) and the CT 50 Corneal Topographers, which are now operating with Windows XP software rather than the former Windows 95 operating systems. P55 Pachymetric Analyzer: The ultrasonic pachymeter is used for measurement of corneal thickness. The Model P55 is positioned as a standard office pachymeter. This device is targeted to the refractive surgery market and contributed 1% and 2% of the total revenues for 2006 and 2005, respectively. P20 A-Scan Biometric Ultrasound Analyzer: The A-Scan was removed from the Company's line of diagnostic products in 2002 but added back as a result of its Worldwide OEM Agreement with MEDA Co., Ltd. in which MEDA has agreed to jointly develop and collaborate in the improvement and enhancement of the Company's products. The A-Scan is a prerequisite procedure reimbursed by Medicare and is performed before every cataract surgery. Over 5,000 A-Scan systems have been installed in the worldwide market, representing a substantial market opportunity for software upgrades and extended warranty contract sales. A-Scan sales were 0% and 1%of the total revenues for 2006 and 2005, respectively. P37 A/B Scan Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic: The A/B Scan is used by retinal subspecialists to identify foreign bodies in the posterior chamber of the eye and to evaluate the structural integrity of the retina. The A/B Scan is attractive to the general ophthalmic community at large because of its lower price point and its image resolution qualities. Sales from this product were 8% of the total revenues for both 2006 and 2005. P40 and P45 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscopes: Humphrey Systems developed the P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope in conjunction with the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary in Manhattan and the University of Toronto. The P40 biomicroscope and its intellectual property were included in the purchase from Humphrey Systems and gives the Company the proprietary rights to this device. The P40 biomicroscope creates a high resolution computer image of the unseen parts of the eye that is a "map" for the glaucoma surgeon. The P40 biomicroscope is an "enabling technology" for the ophthalmologist, one that the Company has repositioned for broader market sales penetration. Formerly sold only to glaucoma subspecialty practitioners, the Company reintroduced the P40 biomicroscope at a price point targeted for the average practitioners seeking to add glaucoma filtering surgical procedures and income to their cataract surgical practice. The P40 biomicroscope related surgical filtering procedures are fully reimbursable by Medicare and insurance providers. This untapped new market positions the Company with its proprietary P40 biomicroscope and, to its knowledge, the only commercially viable product of this type on the market, as a leader in the rapidly expanding glaucoma imaging and treatment segment. In the fall of 2000, the Company introduced the P45 UBM Ultrasonic Biomicroscope, which combines the P40 biomicroscope and the P37 A/B Scan Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic into one instrument. The Company believes that by combining functions, the P45 will appeal to a broader market. The P40 biomicroscope and related accessories sales were 4% and 9% of the total revenues for 2006 and 2005, respectively. The P45 biomicroscope and related accessories sales contributed 6% and 13% of the total revenues for 2006 and 2005, respectively. 10 On October 25, 2004, the Company entered into a Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with E-Technologies, Inc., a Iowa based developer of software and related technology for technical applications. Under the terms of the agreement, E-Technologies granted to the Company the exclusive right to manufacture, market, sell and distribute an ultrasound biomicroscope. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company paid $30,000 to E-Technologies for engineering costs associated with the development of the biomicroscope. When the bioimicroscope received FDA approval on May 26, 2005, the Company paid E-Technologies an additional fee of $45,000. In consideration for the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute the biomicroscope, the Company agreed to pay E-Technologies a royalty in the amount of $5,000 for each of the first 25 biomicroscopes sold by the Company. Thereafter, the Company agreed to pay E-Technologies the sum of $4,000 for each biomicroscope sold. As an additional condition, the Company agreed to sell 25 biomicroscopes during the first 12 months after the biomicroscope receives FDA approval. The agreement is effective for a term of two years. After the expiration of the two year period, the agreement is to automatically renew for additional one year periods, unless either party elects to terminate the agreement upon at least 30 days prior written notice to the other party before the end of any term of the agreement. In March 2005, the Company introduced the P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope. The P60 biomicroscope represents the fourth generation of UBM devices and has better visual clarity and image flexibility than earlier versions. On March 1, 2005, the Company was awarded the CE Mark for the P60, which enables it to market the device in 19 Western European countries, the Middle East and India, and some parts of Asia and the Pacific Rim. On May 26, 2005, the Company received FDA 510(k) premarket approval for the P60, which allows it to be sold in the United States. On February 9, 2006, the Company received a Canadian device license for the P60, which allows it to be sold in Canada. The P60 biomicroscope and related accessories sales were 16% and 21% of total revenues for 2006 and 2005, respectively. In July of 2000, the Company received ISO 9001 and EN 46001 certification using TUV Essen as the notified body. Under ISO 9001certification, its products are now CE marked. The CE mark allows the Company to ship product for revenue into the European Community. The Company successfully retained its certification in 2005 and retained ISO 13485 in December 2005 from TUV Essen. On June 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Worldwide OEM Agreement with MEDA Co., Ltd., one of China's leading developers and producers of ultrasound devices. Under the terms of the agreement, MEDA agrees to jointly engineer, develop and manufacture the Company's next generation of the Ultrasound BioMicroscope, as well as other proprietary new products and enhancement of the Company's current products. The products to be manufactured by MEDA, at agreed upon costs, and supplied to the Company for resale include the following new products: an ultrasound biomicroscope, two ultrasound A/B Scans, a biometric A-Scan and a pachymeter. The agreement provides that the Company and MEDA agree to jointly develop and collaborate in the improvement and enhancement of the Company's products and, in the interest of product development, enhancement and differentiation, MEDA agrees to give consideration to potential software development or enhancements made available to the Company for its products. Moreover, in the interest of product improvement, MEDA agrees to collaborate with the Company and its designated engineers, employees and consultants to consider and potentially implement jointly or individually the development of product enhancements on the Company's products to be manufactured by MEDA. On January 31 and February 1, 2007, the Company received FDA 510(k) pre-market approval for a new generation of ultrasound devices. This approval allows the new devices to be sold in the United States. The new ultrasound devices, which are to be manufactured by MEDA and sold by the Company in the United States, include the P2000 A-Scan (used to measure axial length of the eye), the P2200 Pachymeter (used for measuring corneal thickness), the P2500 A- Scan/Pachymeter (a combination of the two stand alone devices), the P2700 AB/Scan (an ultrasound imaging device for detecting abnormalities within the eye) and the P37-II (a more advanced AB/Scan used to provide portability for ophthalmology veterinary applications) and the P50 Ultrasound Biomicroscope for high frequency imaging of the anterior chamber of the eye. Parts and Services: The parts and service revenue from the repair and service of equipment sold accounted for 12% of total revenues in both 2006 and 2005. The following table identifies each product class, status of commercial development, the percentage of sales contributed by that class, reimbursement status, and status of applicable United States and foreign regulatory approvals: 11 Commercial Reimbursement % 2005 %2006 Regulatory Product (1) Product Class Development Status Sales Sales Approvals ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P55, P2200 and System, Imaging, Pulsed Complete Yes 2% 3% FDA 510(K) K844299* P2500 Pachymetric Echo Diagnostic ISO 9001: 1994, EN ISO Analyzer 9001** P20 and P2000 System Imaging, Pulsed Complete Yes 0% 1% FDA 510(K) I844299* A-Scan Biometric Echo Diagnostic ISO 9001: 1994, Ultrasound Analyzer EN ISO 9001** P37, P37-II and Transducer, Ultrasound Complete Yes 8% 10% FDA 510(K) K844299* P2700 A/B Scan Diagnostic ISO 9001: 1994, Ocular Ultrasound EN ISO 9001** Diagnostic P40 UBM Ultrasound System, Imaging, Pulsed Complete Yes 9% 5% FDA 510(K) K844299* BioMicroscope Echo Ultrasound ISO 9001: 1994, Diagnostic EN ISO 9001** P45 UBM Ultrasound System, Imaging, Pulsed Complete Yes 13% 6% FDA 510(K) K844299* Biomicroscope, Echo Ultrasound ISO 9001: 1994, Workstation Plus Diagnostic EN ISO 9001** P60 UBM Ultrasound System, Imaging, Pulsed Complete Yes 21% 14% FDA 510(K) K844299* Biomicroscope, Echo Ultrasound ISO 9001: 1994, Workstation Plus Diagnostic EN ISO 9001** BFA Ocular Blood Tonometer, Manual Complete Yes**** 4% 10% FDA 510(K) K844299* Flow Analyzer(TM) and Diagnostic ISO 9001: 1994, Disposables EN ISO 9001** CT 200 Corneal Topographer Corneal Complete Yes 3% 3% FDA 510(K) K844299* Topography System AC-Powered ISO 9001: 1994, Diagnostic EN ISO 9001** LD 400 Perimeter, Automatic Complete Yes 23% 25% FDA 510(K) K844299* Autoperimetry AC-Powered ISO 9001: 1994, System Diagnostic EN ISO 9001** TKS 5000 Perimeter, Automatic Complete Yes 5% 11% FDA 510(K) K844299* Autoperimetry AC-Powered, Diagnostic ISO 9001: 1994, System EN ISO 9001** Precisionist Thirty Phacofragmentation Complete Yes 0% 0% FDA 510(K) K844299* Thousand(TM), Ocular ISO 9001: 1994, Surgery Workstation EN ISO 9001** with Surgical Equipment and Disposables(2) Photon(TM) Laser, Phacoemulsification In-Process (4) No 0% 0% IDE G940151 Ocular Surgery ISO 9001: 1994, Workstation with EN ISO 9001** Surgical Equipment and Disposables(3) Parts and Services Perimeter, BFA, Complete Yes 12% 12% FDA 510(K) K844299* Tonometer, ISO 9001: 1994, Topographer, Ultrasound EN ISO 9001** Workstations, Systems, Imaging 12 ----------------------------- (1) Except for the Photon(TM) Ocular Surgery Workstation, which can only be sold in countries outside the United States, these products can be sold in the United States and in foreign countries including but not limited to Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Borneo, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Puerto Rico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and United Arab Emirates. (2) Due to the lack of recent sales volume, the inventory associated with the Precisionist Thirty Thousand (TM), the SIStem(TM) and the Odyssey(TM) has been deemed obsolete and a reserve has been recorded to offset such inventory. (3) Due to the lack of recent evidence to support the recoverability of inventory associated with the Photon(TM), the Company has recorded a reserve to offset the majority of such inventory on hand. (4) The Photon(TM) is in-process and not complete because the Company has not completed the clinical trials in order to obtain FDA regulatory approval. * FDA 510(K) K844299 represents domestic approval by U.S. Food and Drug Administration ** ISO 9001: 1994, EN ISO 9001 represents international approval *** IDE G940151 represents approval for international distribution only **** Represents full reimbursement in 22 states and partial reimbursement in four other states. As detailed in the table above, except for the Photon(TM) Laser Ocular Surgery Workstation, which requires additional development and regulatory approvals, the Company's current products are developed and available for sale in footnote (1) of the table. The Company's possible future efforts to finalize development of the Photon(TM) laser system and obtain the necessary regulatory approvals would depend on adequate funding. If these efforts were undertaken but proved to be unsuccessful, the impact would include the costs associated with these efforts and the anticipated future revenues which the Company would not receive as expected. The Company estimates that the funds needed to complete the clinical trials on the Photon(TM) in order to obtain the necessary FDA regulatory approval to be approximately $225,000. The Company currently purchases components and parts used in its products from a limited number of key suppliers. The Company's reliance on its principal suppliers could result in delays associated with redesigning a product due to an inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components and parts, and reduced control over pricing, quality and timely delivery. The loss of any of these principal suppliers or the inability of a supplier to meet performance and quality specifications, requested quantities or delivery schedules could cause the Company's revenues to decline. In addition, any interruption or discontinuance in the supply of components or parts could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operation and financial condition. The Company's principal suppliers include Capistrano Labs, US Ultrasound and Anthro. Marketing and Sales Ophthalmologists are mainly office based and perform their surgeries in local hospitals or surgical centers that provide the necessary surgical equipment and supplies. Ophthalmologists are generally involved in decisions relating to the purchase of equipment and accessories for their independent ambulatory surgical centers and for the hospitals with which they are affiliated. This provides the opportunity for direct, targeted, personal selling, responsive high quality customer service and short buying cycles to achieve a product sale in the office or hospital. Hospitals also comprise a significant market, as recent demand for ultrasonic surgery technology has put pressure on the ophthalmologist, who in turn persuades the hospital to install the latest technology system so that he can offer this procedure to his patients and the community. Ophthalmologist and hospital administrators are understanding the necessity of Ultrasound diagnostic equipment such as the UBM and providing the opportunity for increased product demonstrations. The capability to detect and manage glaucoma is greatly enhanced with the UBM. Industry analysts report that the United States ophthalmic surgical device market has been characterized by slower growth in recent years. This has apparently been caused by the potential reforms associated with the health care industry. Further, hospitals have been inclined to keep their older phaco machines longer than expected as they have been forced to mind budgets more carefully and have become less willing to invest in capital equipment until more information on health care reform becomes available. However, analysts predict that the ophthalmic surgical device market will see renewed growth in the coming years as the health care environment stabilizes and as the growing elderly population produces an increased number of cataract surgeries. As a consequence of these factors, the market should see a greater rate of replacement of older machines that hospitals and surgeons have been postponing for longer than usual. The acceptance of the UBM as a necessary diagnostic and disease management tool is enhancing the opportunities for increased sales of these to hospitals as well as larger private clinics. Current Market Acceptance and Potential: The principal purchasers of the Company's products have been ophthalmologists, optometrists, universities and clinics in many countries throughout the world. The Company believes that the market for its products is being driven by: (i) the aging of the population, which is evidenced by the domestic and international cataract surgery volume 13 growth trend over the past ten years, (The National Eye Institute reported in March 2002 that the number of blind or visually impaired Americans is likely to double over the next 30 years.) (ii) the entry by emerging countries (including China, Russia, and other countries in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa) into advanced technology medical care for their populations, (iii) increased awareness worldwide of the benefits of the minimally invasive phaco cataract procedure, (iv) the introduction of technology improvements such as the Company's laser system, and (v) the growing awareness of the need for early detection and treatment of glaucoma. Marketing Organization: The Company markets its products internationally through a network of dealers and domestically through direct sales representatives, independent sales representatives, and ophthalmic product distributors. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had four direct domestic sales representatives in the United States and 54 foreign dealers. These sales representatives are assigned exclusive territories and have entered into contracts with the Company that contain performance quotas. Domestic sales channels have been expanded to include independent sales representatives and distributors who began training with its products in August 2003. The Company also plans to continue to market its products by identifying customers through internal market research, trade shows and direct marketing programs. The Company also utilized a Clinical Advisory Board comprised of leading ophthalmic surgeons in the United States and Europe who spoke at conventions, train ophthalmologists and visit foreign doctors and dealers to promote its products. Product advertising is intended to be focused in the major industry trade journals. Most of the ophthalmologists or optometrists in the United States receive one or more of these magazines through professional subscription programs. The media has shown strong interest in the Company's technology and products, as evidenced by several recent front-page articles in these publications. Manufacturing and Raw Materials: Currently, the Company maintains a 16,926 square foot facility in Salt Lake City. The Company transferred the manufacturing activities for the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM to San Diego from Ocular Blood Flow, Ltd. in England during 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company consolidated and closed the San Diego operations into the Salt Lake City facility. The facility accommodates its manufacturing, marketing and engineering capabilities. The Company manufactures under systems of quality control and testing, which complies with the Quality System Requirements established by the FDA, as well as similar guidelines established by foreign governments, including the CE Mark and IS0-9001. The Company subcontracts the manufacturing of some of its ancillary instruments, accessories and disposables through specified vendors in the United States. These products are contracted in quantities and at costs consistent with its financial purchasing capabilities and pricing needs. The Company manufactures certain accessories at its facility in Salt Lake City. Product Service and Support: Service for the Company's products is overseen from its Salt Lake City location and is augmented by its international dealer network, which provides technical service and repair. Installation, on-site training and a limited product warranty are included as the standard terms of sale. The Company provides distributors with replacement parts at no charge during the warranty period. International distributors are responsible for installation, repair and other customer service to installed systems in their territory. All systems parts are modular sub-components that are easily removed and replaced. The Company maintains adequate parts inventory and provides overnight replacement parts shipments to its dealers. Research and Development The Company's primary market for its surgical products is the cataract surgery market. However, the Company believes that its laser systems may potentially have broader ophthalmic applications. Consequently, the Company believes that a strong research and development capability is important for its future. In addition to its expanded in-house research and development capabilities, the Company has enlisted several recognized and respected consultants and other technical personnel to act in technical and medical advisory capacities. The Company believes its research and development capabilities provide it with the ability to respond to regulatory developments, including new products, new product features devised from its users and new applications for its products on a timely and proprietary basis. The Company intends to continue investing in research and development and to strengthen its ability to enhance existing products and develop new products. Research, development and service expenses (which includes production and manufacturing support and the service department expenses) decreased by $605,000, or 71%, to $250,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, from $855,000 for the same period in 2005. None of the costs of research and development activities during 2006 and 2005 was borne directly by customers. 14 During the period in which Thomas F. Motter served as the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, he formed a clinical advisory board and met from time to time with the board. Jeffrey F. Poore, who served as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer from March 2003 to March 2004, decided not to utilize the clinical advisory board. Instead, he consulted with former members of the advisory board on an informal basis. The Company currently has no agreements with any former members of the clinical advisory board and none of these former members hold or own any rights to its products or technologies. Competition General. The Company is subject to competition in the cataract surgery and the glaucoma diagnostic markets from two principal sources: (i) manufacturers of competing ultrasound systems used when performing cataract treatments and (ii) developers of technologies for ophthalmic diagnostic and surgical instruments used for treatment. A few large companies that are well established in the marketplace have experienced management, are well financed and have well recognized trade names and product lines dominate the surgical equipment industry. The Company believes that the combined sales of five entities account for over 90% of the cataract surgery market. The remaining market is fragmented among emerging smaller companies, some of which are foreign. The ophthalmic diagnostic market has a similar composition. Most major competitors either entered or expanded into the cataract or glaucoma markets through the acquisition of smaller, entrepreneurial high technology manufacturing companies. Therefore, because existing competitors or other entities desiring to enter the market could conceivably acquire current entrepreneurial enterprises with small market activity, any and all competitors must be considered to be formidable. The Cataract Surgical System Industry. The major manufacturers utilizing ultrasonic technology offer products currently in use. Those systems rely on accessories including single use cassette packs and other ancillary surgical disposables such as saline solution, sutures and intraocular lenses for their profits. The cassette packs are required for fluid and tissue collection during the surgical procedure. The cassette packs are generally unique and proprietary to their respective systems and represent a barrier to entry for third party, lower cost aftermarket suppliers. While there is growing market resistance in the United States and internationally to single use cassettes, it is anticipated that manufacturers of ultrasound equipment will continue to develop and enhance their present ultrasound products in order to protect their investments in system and cassette technology and to protect their profits from sales of these cassettes and accessories. The Company's Precisionist Thirty ThousandTM ultrasonic phaco system has the ability to use either reusable or single use disposable components. The PhotonTM laser cataract system will utilize probes and cassette packs designed for single use and semi-disposable instruments priced at a level consistent with the demands of health care cost containment. This will allow the health care providers a substantial measure of cost containment, while providing the Company with the quality control and income capability of cassette sales. The international market, with significantly lower medical budgets, has not been able to justify the expense of using disposable components. Budgetary constraints have limited current manufacturers from gaining a significant share of the international ultrasound equipment market, and have provided a niche for the emerging smaller companies discussed above. Ultrasound Equipment Manufacturers. As a relatively recent entrant into the cataract surgical equipment market with a newer equipment line, the Company is establishing itself and, as yet, does not hold a significant share of the market. The Company currently recognizes Bausch & Lomb, Alcon Laboratories, and Allergan Medical Optics as its primary competitors in the ultrasound phaco cataract equipment market. In respect to ultrasound diagnostic equipment such as the UBM, A-Scan, Pachymeter and A/B Scan, the Company is well positioned to compete against companies that currently hold a significant share of the market. The Company recognizes Sonomed, Tomey, Nidek, OTI and Quantel. Laser Equipment Manufacturers. There are several other companies attempting to develop laser equipment for cataract surgery. These companies can be differentiated by the laser wavelength employed for the cataract surgery. Based on the information currently available to us; Er:YAG laser wavelength appears to offer a less viable means of removing cataracts than the Nd:YAG wavelength used by the PhotonTM. One competitor uses a Nd:YAG wavelength, however the laser is used only to vibrate an ultrasonic needle. Thus the device remains an ultrasonic system subject to the same risk factors of phaco, thereby eliminating the benefits of using a laser to remove the cataract. The Company also believes that its product is sufficiently distinctive and, if properly marketed, can capture a significant share of the cataract surgical device market. However, there are substantial risks in undertaking a new venture in an established and already highly competitive industry. In the short-term, the Company is seeking to exploit these opportunities. Depending upon further developments, the Company may ultimately exploit those opportunities through a merger with a stronger entity already established or one that desires to enter the medical industry. The Company believes that its ability to compete successfully will depend on its capability to create and maintain advanced technology, develop proprietary products, attract and retain scientific personnel, obtain patent or other proprietary protection for its products and technologies, obtain required 15 regulatory approvals and manufacture, assemble and successfully market products either alone or through third parties. The Retinal Diagnostic Market. The Glaucoma Research Foundation suggests that with the aging of the so-called baby boom generation, there will be an increase of refractive surgeries, macular degeneration and glaucoma in the United States, the leading causes of adult blindness worldwide. The National Eye Institute stated in 2002 that the number of visually impaired Americans is likely to double over the next three decades. Their report estimated that 2.4 million people suffer some visual impairment in this country. The damage caused by these diseases is irreversible. The preconditions for the onset of macular degeneration or glaucoma are low ocular blood flow and/or high intraocular pressure. Diagnostic screening is important for individuals susceptible to these diseases. People in high risk categories include: African Americans over 40 years of age, all persons over 60 years of age, persons with a family history of glaucoma or diabetes, and the very nearsighted. The Glaucoma Research Foundation recommends that these high risk individuals be tested regularly for glaucoma. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 1995 there were over 30 million adults 65 years of age and older and 8 million African Americans 45 years of age and older. The Glaucoma Research Foundation reports that glaucoma currently accounts for more than 7 million visits to physicians annually. The Company is subject to intense competition in the ophthalmic diagnostic market from well financed, established companies with recognizable trade names and product lines and new and developing technologies. The industry is dominated by several large entities which the Company believes accounts for the majority of diagnostic equipment sales. The Company continues to derive revenues from the sale of its ultrasound diagnostic equipment and blood flow analyzer. The blood flow analyzer is designed to detect glaucoma in an earlier stage than is presently possible. In addition, the device performs tonometry and blood flow analysis. Other ophthalmic diagnostic devices that do not detect glaucoma in the early stages of the disease as does the Company's blood flow analyzer retail at comparable prices. Thus, the Company believes that it can compete in the diagnostic market place based upon the lower price and improved diagnostic functions of the analyzer. Intellectual Property Protection The Company's cataract surgical products are proprietary in design, engineering and performance. Its surgical ultrasonic products have not been patented to date because the primary technology for ultrasonic tissue fragmentation, as available to all competitors in the market, is mainly in the public domain. The Company acquired proprietary intellectual property in the transaction with Humphrey Systems when the Company purchased the diagnostic ultrasonic product line in 1999. This technology uses ultrasound to create a high resolution computer image of the unseen parts of the eye that is a "map" for the practitioner. The P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope, one of the ultrasonic products the Company purchased, is subject to a license agreement dated September 27, 1990, with Sunnybrook Health Science Center. Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company has the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and sell the UBM biomicroscope, for which the Company is required to pay a royalty of $150 for each licensed product sold. The license agreement was automatically terminated by its terms on September 27, 2002, at which time the Company had a royalty free worldwide license to use and sell the P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope. However, the Company has a continuing obligation after such termination to continue to use and sell the biomicroscope only in the field of ophthalmology. As a result of its agreement with MEDA Co., Ltd., the Company is also able to provide the P50 UBM biomicroscope, which is manufactured by MEDA, to other industry segments such as the research and the veterinary markets. The PhotonTM laser cataract probe is protected under a United States patent issued to Daniel M. Eichenbaum, M.D. in 1987 and subsequently assigned to PhotoMed International, Inc. and a Japanese patent issued to the Company in 1997 for the utility and methods of laser ablation, aspiration and irrigation of tissue through a hand held probe of a unique design. The United States patent is due to expire in September 2004. The Company secured the exclusive worldwide rights to this patent shortly after its issue, and to the international patents pending, from PhotoMed by means of a license agreement dated July 7, 1993. The license agreement provided the Company with the rights to manufacture, distribute and sell a laser system using the Photon(TM) laser cataract probe and related components to customers on a worldwide basis, for which PhotoMed is to receive a 1% royalty on all net sales of such systems and related components sold worldwide. Under the license agreement PhotoMed is entitled to all royalty payments from net sales at the time of billing to the purchaser or within 30 days of the date of shipment, whichever occurs first. The Company is required each quarter to prepare a summary of sales and the royalties to which PhotoMed is entitled to be paid. The sales summary must list the number of surgical systems and disposable units sold in each country, the dollar value of gross and net sales, the amount of the royalty to which PhotoMed is entitled, and any other information requested by PhotoMed from time to time. Under the terms of the 16 agreement, the Company has agreed to be actively engaged in either research and development of a salable product utilizing the patent or in marketing and selling such a product. The license agreement was amended on December 5, 1997 to allow PhotoMed the right to conduct research, development and marketing utilizing the patent in certain medical subspecialties other than ophthalmology for which the Company would receive royalty payments equal to 1% of the proceeds from the net sales of products utilizing the patent. The license agreement expired when the United States patent rights expired in September 2004, but the license agreement could be automatically extended or renewed for any term of extension or renewal awarded for the patent rights. In addition, the Company has the right to terminate the license agreement at any time after July 7, 2003 upon 90 days prior written notice to PhotoMed. PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum brought legal action against the Company on September 11, 2000 involving an amount of royalties that were allegedly due and owing to them from the sale of equipment by the Company. The Company has paid $15,717 to bring all royalty payments up to date through January 5, 2005. The Company has been working with PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum to ensure that the royalty calculations have been correctly made. It is anticipated that once the parties agree on the correct royalty calculations, the legal action will be dismissed. An issue in dispute concerning the method of calculating royalties is whether royalties should be paid on returned equipment. Since July 1, 2001, only one Photon(TM) laser system has been sold and no systems returned. Thus, the amount of royalties due, according to the Company's calculations, is $981. The Company made payment of this amount to Photomed and Dr. Eichenbaum on January 5, 2005 and, as a result, seeks to have the legal action dismissed. However, if the parties are unable to agree on a method for calculating royalties, there is a risk that PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum might amend the complaint to request termination of the license agreement and, if successful, the Company would lose its rights to manufacture or sell the Photon(TM) laser system. The Photon(TM) laser cataract probe is also protected under a United States patent issued to the Company in 2002 for a laser surgical device for the removal of intraocular tissue including a handpiece and a trap. The patent is due to expire in August 2019. There are also two pending United States patents relating to the Photon(TM) laser cataract probe. The Blood Flow AnalyzerTM was granted a patent in the United Kingdom in 1998 and in the United States in 1999, and has a patent pending in Japan. These patents relate to pneumatic pressure probes for use in measuring change in intraocular pressure and in measuring pulsatile ocular blood flow. The United States patent rights expire in January 2019 and the United Kingdom patent rights expire in November 2015. The DiconTM Perimeters and the DiconTM Corneal Topographer each have a U.S. patent with a wide scope of claims. The United States patent for the Dicon(TM) Perimeter was issued in 1991 and the patent rights expire in March 2010. The United States patent for the Dicon(TM) Corneal Topographer was issued in 2002 and the patent rights expire in January 2018. The Company's trademarks are important to its business. It is its policy to pursue trademark registrations for its trademarks associated with its products as appropriate. Also, the Company relies on common law trademark rights to protect its unregistered trademarks, although common law trademark rights do not provide the Company with the same level of protection as would U.S. federal registered trademarks. Common law trademark rights only extend to the geographical area in which the trademark is actually used while U.S. federal registration prohibits the use of the trademark by any party anywhere in the United States. The Company also relies on trade secret law to protect some aspects of its intellectual property. All of its key employees, consultants and advisors are required to enter into a confidentiality agreement with us. Most of its third-party manufacturers and formulators are also bound by confidentiality agreements with the Company. Regulation The FDA under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act regulates the Company's surgical and diagnostic systems as medical devices. As such, these devices require premarket clearance or approval by the FDA prior to their marketing and sale. Such clearance or approval is premised on the production of evidence sufficient for the Company to show reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness regarding its products. Pursuant to the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, the FDA regulates the manufacture, distribution and production of medical devices in the United States and the export of medical devices from the United States. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, denial of premarket clearance or approval for devices. Recommendations by the FDA that the Company not be allowed to enter into government contracts in order to avoid criminal prosecution may also be made. 17 Following the enactment of the Medical Device Amendments to the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act in May 1976, the FDA began classifying medical devices in commercial distribution into one of three classes: Class I, II or III. This classification is based on the controls that are perceived to be necessary to reasonably ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. Class I devices are those devices, the safety and effectiveness of which can reasonably be ensured through general controls, such as adequate labeling, advertising, premarketing notification and adherence to the FDA's Quality System Requirements regulations. Some Class I devices are exempt from some of the general controls. Class II devices are those devices the safety and effectiveness of which can reasonably be assured through the use of special controls, such as performance standards, postmarket surveillance, patient registries and FDA guidelines. Class III devices are devices that must receive premarketing approval by the FDA to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Generally, Class III devices are limited to life sustaining, life supporting or implantable devices, or to new devices that have been found not to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices. There are two principal methods by which FDA approval may be obtained. One method is to seek FDA approval through a premarketing notification filing under Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. If a manufacturer or distributor of a medical device can establish that a proposed device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed Class I or Class II medical device or to a pre-1976 Class III medical device for which the FDA has not called for a pre-marketing approval, the manufacturer or distributor may seek FDA Section 510(k) premarketing clearance for the device by filing a Section 510(k) premarketing notification. The Section 510(k) notification and the claim of substantial equivalence will likely have to be supported by various types of data and materials, possibly including clinical testing results, obtained under an Investigational Device Exemption granted by the FDA. The manufacturer or distributor may not place the device into interstate commerce until an order is issued by the FDA granting premarketing clearance for the device. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain Section 510(k) premarketing clearance for any of the future devices for which the Company seeks such clearance including the PhotonTM laser system. The FDA may determine that the device is "substantially equivalent" to another legally marketed Class I, Class II or pre-1976 Class III device for which the FDA has not called for a premarketing approval, and allow the proposed device to be marketed in the United States. The FDA may determine, however, that the proposed device is not substantially equivalent, or may require further information, such as additional test data, before the FDA is able to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence. A "not substantially equivalent" determination or a request for additional information could delay the Company's market introduction of its products and could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. The alternate method to seek approval is to obtain premarketing approval from the FDA. If a manufacturer or distributor of a medical device cannot establish that a proposed device is substantially equivalent to another legally marketed device, whether or not the FDA has made a determination in response to a Section 510(k) notification, the manufacturer or distributor will have to seek premarketing approval for the proposed device. A premarketing approval application would have to be submitted and be supported by extensive data, including preclinical and clinical trial data to prove the safety and efficacy of the device. If human clinical trials of a proposed device are required and the device presents a significant risk, the manufacturer or the distributor of the device will have to file an Investigational Device Exemption application with the FDA prior to commencing human clinical trials. The Investigational Device Exemption application must be supported by data, typically including the results of animal and mechanical testing. If the Investigational Device Exemption application is approved, human clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites, and the approval letter could include the number of patients approved by the FDA. An Investigational Device Exemption clinical trial can be divided into several parts or phases. Sometimes a company will conduct a feasibility study (Phase I) to confirm that a device functions according to its design and operating parameters. This is a usual clinical trial site. If the Phase I results are promising, the applicant may, with the FDA's permission, expand the number of clinical trial sites and the number of patients to be treated to assure reasonable stability of clinical results. Phase II studies are performed to confirm predictability of results and the absence of adverse reactions. The applicant may, upon receipt of the FDA's authorization, subsequently expand the study to a third phase with a larger number of clinical trial sites and a greater number of patients. This involves longer patient follow-up times and the collection of more patient data. Product claims, labeling and core data for the premarketing approval are derived primarily from this portion of the clinical trial. The applicant may also, upon receipt of the FDA's permission, consolidate one or more of such portions of the study. Sponsors of clinical trials are permitted to sell those devices distributed in the course of the study, provided such compensation does not exceed recovery of the costs of manufacture, research, development and handling. Although both approval methods may require clinical testing of the device in question under an approved Investigational Device Exemption, the premarketing approval procedure is more complex and time consuming. Upon receipt of the premarketing approval application, the FDA makes a threshold determination whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA determines that the premarketing approval is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review, the FDA will "file" the application. Once the submission is filed, the FDA has by regulation 18 90 days to review it; however, the review time is often extended significantly by the FDA asking for more information or clarification of information already provided in the submission. During the review period, an advisory committee may also evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to whether the device should be approved. In addition, the FDA will inspect the manufacturing facility to ensure compliance with the FDA's Quality System Requirements prior to approval of a premarketing application. While the FDA has responded to premarketing approval applications within the allotted time period, premarketing approval reviews generally take approximately 12 to 18 months or more from the date of filing to approval. The premarketing approval process is lengthy and expensive, and there can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained for any of the Company's products determined to be subject to such requirements. A number of devices for which other companies have sought premarketing approval have never been approved for marketing. Any products manufactured or distributed by the Company pursuant to a premarket clearance notification or pre- marketing approval are or will be subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA. The Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act also requires that the Company's products be manufactured in registered establishments and in accordance with Quality System Requirements regulations. Labeling, advertising and promotional activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain instances, by the Federal Trade Commission. The export of medical devices is also subject to regulation in certain instances. In addition, the use of the Company's products may be regulated by various state agencies. All lasers manufactured for the Company are subject to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act administered by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the FDA. The law requires laser manufacturers to file new product and annual reports and to maintain quality control, product testing and sales records, to incorporate certain design and operating features in lasers sold to end users pursuant to specific performance standards, and to comply with labeling and certification requirements. Various warning labels must be affixed to the laser, depending on the class of the product, as established by the performance standards. Although the Company believes that it currently complies and will continue to comply with all applicable regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of medical devices, such regulations are always subject to change and depend heavily on administrative interpretations. There can be no assurance that future changes in review guidelines, regulations or administrative interpretations by the FDA or other regulatory bodies, with possible retroactive effect, will not materially adversely affect the Company. In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of potentially hazardous substances. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations and that such compliance will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's ability to conduct business. The Company and the manufacturers of its products may be inspected on a routine basis by both the FDA and individual states for compliance with current Quality System Requirements regulations and other requirements. Congress has considered several comprehensive federal health care programs designed to broaden coverage and reduce the costs of existing government and private insurance programs. These programs have been the subject of criticism within Congress and the health care industry, and many alternative programs and features of programs have been proposed and discussed. Therefore, the Company cannot predict the content of any federal health care program, if any is passed by Congress, or its effect on the Company and its business. Some measures that have been suggested as possible elements of a new program, such as government price ceilings on non-reimbursable procedures and spending limitations on hospitals and other healthcare providers for new equipment, could have an adverse effect on its business, operating results or financial condition. Uncertainty concerning the features of any health care program considered by the Congress, its adoption by the Congress and the effect of the program on the Company's business could result in volatility of the market price of its common stock. Furthermore, the introduction of the Company's products in foreign countries may require it to obtain foreign regulatory clearances. The Company believes that only a limited number of foreign countries have extensive regulatory requirements, including France, Germany, Korea, China and Japan. The time involved for regulatory approval in foreign countries varies and can take a number of years. A number of European and other economically advanced countries, including Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden, have not developed regulatory agencies for intensive supervision of such devices. Instead, they generally have been willing to accept the approval of the FDA. Therefore, a premarketing approval, Section 510(k) or approved Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA is tantamount to approval in those countries. These countries and most developing countries have simply deferred direct discretion to licensed practicing surgeons to determine the nature of devices that they will use in medical procedures. The Company's two ultrasound surgical and diagnostic systems, the PhotonTM laser cataract system it is developing and the ocular blood flow analyzer and the UBM biomicroscope are all devices which require FDA approval. Therefore, a significant aspect of the acceptance of the devices in the market is the Company's effectiveness in obtaining the necessary approvals. Having an approved Investigational Device Exemption allows the Company to export a product to qualified investigational sites. 19 Regulatory Status of Products All of the Company's products, with the exception of the PhotonTM, are approved for sale in the U.S. by the FDA under a 510(k). All of its products have been accepted for import into CE countries and various non-CE countries. The Company acquired permission from the FDA to export the PhotonTM Laser Cataract System outside the United States under an open Investigational Device Exemption granted by the FDA in September 1994. Although the PhotonTM laser cataract system is uniquely configured in an original and proprietary manner, the laser system, a Nd:YAG laser, is not proprietary to the device or the Company and is widely used in the medical industry and other industries as well. Of particular significance is the fact that this particular component has received previous market clearance from the FDA for other ophthalmic and medical applications. Also of significance is the Company's belief that the surgical treatment method used with the PhotonTM laser is similar to the current ultrasound cataract treatment employed by ophthalmologists. The Company submitted a Premarket Notification 510(k) application to the FDA for the PhotonTM laser cataract system in September 1993. The FDA requested clinical support data for claims made in the 510(k), and in October 1994 the Company submitted an Investigational Device Exemption application to provide for a "modest clinical study" in order to collect the data required by the FDA for clearance of the PhotonTM laser cataract system. The FDA granted this Investigational Device Exemption in May 1995 for a Phase I Feasibility Study. The Company began human clinical trials in April 1996 and completed the Phase I study in November 1997. The Company started Phase II trials in September 1998 and completed numerous cases of treatment group and control group patients, which were included in its submission to the FDA. The Company received a warning letter dated August 30, 2000 from the Office of Compliance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the Food and Drug Administration relating to certain deficiencies in the human clinical trials for its PhotonTM Laser Cataract System. The warning letter concerned the conditions found by the FDA during several audits at its clinical sites. The FDA's comments were isolated to the administrative procedures of compiling data from the clinical sites. The Company responded to the warning letter in a submission dated September 27, 2000. In the submission the Company took corrective action that included submitting a revised clinical protocol and case report forms and procedures for the collection and control of data. In a subsequent letter dated November 2, 2000 to us, the FDA granted conditional approval provided that the Company correct certain deficiencies. After providing several additional submissions to the FDA, the Company received a letter dated February 13, 2001 from the FDA stating that the deficiencies had been corrected and the clinical trials could continue. Subsequent to the warning letter, the Company received approval to continue its clinical trials, the results of which were included in its supplemental submission to the FDA in October 2001 for the existing (510)(k) predicate device application for the PhotonTM laser system. In December 2001, the Company received a preliminary review from the FDA regarding the supplemental submission. As a result of that preliminary review, the Company submitted additional clinical information to the FDA on February 6, 2002. The application is receiving ongoing review by the FDA. On May 7, 2002, the Company received a letter from the FDA requesting further clinical information. The Company has generated additional clinical information in response to the letter and is uncertain if the Company will make a submission to the FDA with the additional clinical information. Because of the "going concern" status of the Company, management has focused efforts on those products and activities that will, in its opinion, achieve the most resource efficient short-term cash flow to the Company. Its diagnostic products are currently its major focus and the Photon(TM) and other extensive research and development prospects have been put on hold pending future evaluation until the Company's financial position improves. Its focus is not on any specific diagnostic product or products, but rather on its entire group of diagnostic products. Employees As of March 31, 2007, the Company had 21 full-time employees. This number does not include its manufacturer's representatives who are independent contractors rather than its employees. The Company also utilizes several consultants and advisors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in recruiting or retaining key personnel. None of its employees are a member of a labor union and the Company has never experienced any business interruption as a result of any labor disputes. In December 2001 the Company initiated the first phase of a corporate downsizing program to reduce its operating expenses. The Company implemented the second phase of its downsizing program in the second quarter of 2002, by closing and transferring its manufacturing from its site in San Diego, California to Salt Lake City, resulting in further reductions in operating expenses. As a result of the downsizing program and some resignations, the number of its employees has been reduced by 72% from 112 to 22 employees. The estimated cost savings from the downsizing program will be in excess of $2,000,000 annually. The costs of downsizing have included onetime expenses of approximately $43,000 for moving and travel. In addition, the Company incurred additional onetime expenses of approximately $18,000 for housing accommodations for key employees 20 working in Salt Lake City. The Company realized a net cost savings from downsizing of approximately $2,394,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. Item 2. Description of Property The Company's corporate offices are currently located at 2355 South 1070 West, Salt Lake City, Utah. This facility consists of 16,926 square feet of leased office and warehouse space. These facilities are leased from Eden Roc, a California partnership, at a base monthly rate of $7,109, plus a $1,690 monthly common area maintenance fee. In January 2003, the Company renegotiated a three-year lease with Eden Roc at a monthly rate of $9,295, plus a $1,859 common area maintenance fee for the year 2003, with the rate increased to $11,433 (including a $1,859 common area maintenance fee) for 2004 and to $11,720 (including a $1,859 common area maintenance fee) for 2005. Pursuant to the lease, the Company pays all real estate and personal property taxes and the insurance costs on the premises. The lease expired on December 31, 2005. Since January 1, 2006, the Company has leased 16,926 square feet of space in the facility on a month to month basis at a monthly rate of $7,109 plus a $1,690 common area maintenance fee. The Company believes that these facilities are adequate and satisfy its needs for the foreseeable future. Item 3. Legal Proceedings An action was brought against the Company in March 2000 by George Wiseman, a former employee, in the Third District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah. The complaint alleges that the Company owes Mr. Wiseman 6,370 shares of its common stock plus costs, attorney's fees and a wage penalty (equal to 1,960 additional shares of its common stock) pursuant to Utah law. The action is based upon an extension of a written employment agreement. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the action. An action was brought against the Company on September 11, 2000 by PhotoMed International, Inc. and Daniel M. Eichenbaum, M.D. in the Third District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah. The action involves an amount of royalties that are allegedly due and owing to PhotoMed International, Inc. and Dr. Eichenbaum under a license agreement dated July 7, 1993, with respect to the sale of certain equipment, plus costs and attorneys' fees. Certain discovery has taken place and the Company has paid royalties of $15,717, which the Company believes brings all payments current as of the date of last payment on January 7, 2005. The Company has been working with PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum to ensure that the calculations have been correctly made on the royalties paid as well as the proper method of calculation for the future. It is anticipated that once the parties can agree on the correct calculations on the royalties, the legal action will be dismissed. An issue in dispute concerning the method of calculating royalties is whether royalties should be paid on returned equipment. Since July 1, 2001, only one Photon(TM) laser system has been sold and no systems returned. Thus, the amount of royalties due, according to the Company's calculations, is $981. The Company made payment of this amount to Photomed and Dr. Eichenbaum on January 5, 2005 and, as a result, seeks to have the legal action dismissed. However, if the parties are unable to agree on a method for calculating royalties, there is a risk that PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum might amend their complaint to request termination of the license agreement and, if successful, the Company would lose its right to manufacture and sell the Photon(TM) laser system. An action was filed on June 20, 2003, in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah (Civil No. 030914195) by CitiCorp Vendor Finance, Inc., formerly known as Copelco Capital, Inc. The complaint claims that $49,626 plus interest is due for the leasing of three copy machines that were delivered to the Company's Salt Lake City facilities on or about April of 2000. The action also seeks an award of attorney's fees and costs incurred in the collection. The Company filed an answer to the complaint disputing the amounts allegedly owed due to machine problems and a claimed understanding with the vendor. The Company returned two of the machines. The Company was engaged in settlement discussions with CitiCorp until counsel for CitiCorp withdrew from the case. New counsel for CitiCorp was appointed. After an initial meeting with new counsel, the Company provided initial disclosures to the new counsel. On September 10, 2003, an action was filed against the Company by Larry Hicks in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, (Civil No. 030922220), for payments due under a consulting agreement with the Company. The complaint claims that monthly payments of $3,083 were due for the months of October 2002 to October 2003 under the consulting agreement and, if the agreement was terminated, for the sum of $110,000 minus whatever the Company has paid Mr. Hicks prior to such termination, plus costs, attorney's fees and a wage penalty pursuant to Utah law. The Company has filed an answer in which it denied any liability to Mr. Hicks. Formal discovery in the matter has commenced. The Company disputes the amount allegedly owed and intends to vigorously defend against such action. In December 2006, a hearing on the motion for summary judgment in the Todd Smith case (Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 030924951CN) was held. At the hearing the court granted the motion 21 dismissing the case in its entirety against the Company and three of its directors. A notice of appeal was filed on behalf of Mr. Smith and then subsequently withdrawn. Also in December 2006, a hearing on the motion for summary judgment in the Corinne Powell case (Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 030918364) was held. At the hearing the court granted the motion dismissing the case in its entirety against the Company and one of the directors. The appeal time has expired with no appeal being filed. The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of its business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders during the quarter ended December 31, 2006. PART II Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 800,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share. The Company has created seven classes of preferred stock, designated as Series A preferred stock, Series B preferred stock, Series C preferred stock , Series D preferred stock, Series E preferred stock, Series F preferred stock and Series G preferred stock. The Company's common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol of "PMED.OB." Prior to July 22, 1996, there was no public market for the common stock. From July 22, 1996 to June 25, 2003, the Company's common stock was listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Since June 25, 2003, the common stock has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. As of March 26, 2007, the closing sale prices of the common stock was $.016 per share. The following are the high and low sale prices for the common stock by quarter as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board since January 1, 2004. Common Stock Price Range --------------------- Period (Calendar Year) High Low ------ ------ 2004 First Quarter $ .21 $ .15 Second Quarter .16 .07 Third Quarter .12 .09 Fourth Quarter .12 .08 2005 First Quarter .10 .08 Second Quarter .09 .07 Third Quarter .10 .001 Fourth Quarter .048 .001 2006 First Quarter .047 .001 Second Quarter .014 .006 Third Quarter .007 .004 Fourth Quarter .005 .003 2007 First Quarter .032 .003 22 The Company's Series A preferred stock, Series B preferred stock, Series C preferred stock, Series D preferred stock, Series E preferred stock, Series F preferred stock and Series G preferred stock are not publicly traded. As of March 31, 2007, there were 4,781 record holders of common stock, six record holders of Series A preferred stock, four record holders of Series B preferred stock, no record holders of Series C preferred stock, one record holder of Series D preferred stock, one record holder of Series E preferred stock, 18 record holders of Series F preferred stock, and one record holder of Series G preferred stock. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The Company must pay cash dividends to holders of its Series A preferred, Series B preferred, Series C preferred, Series D preferred stock, Series E preferred, Series F preferred stock and Series G preferred stock before it can pay any cash dividend to holders of its common stock. Dividends paid in cash pursuant to outstanding shares of its Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series G preferred stock are only payable from its surplus earnings, and are noncumulative and therefore, no deficiencies in dividend payments from one year will be carried forward to the next. The Company currently intends to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of its proposed business and operations. Any payment of cash dividends in the future on the common stock will be dependent upon its financial condition, results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements, plans for expansion, restrictions, if any, under any debt obligations, as well as other factors that its board of directors deems relevant. The Company issued 6,764 shares of its Series A preferred and 6,017 shares of its Series B preferred on January 8, 1996 as a stock dividend to Series A and Series B preferred shareholders of record as of December 31, 1994. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation This report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company that is based on beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management. These statements reflect its current view respecting future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks and uncertainties noted throughout the document. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause the forward-looking statements not to come true as anticipated, believed, projected, expected or intended. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, projected, estimated, expected or intended. Critical Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101), as revised by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104). SAB 101 and SAB 104 detail four criteria that must exist before revenue is recognized: 1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Prior to shipment of product, the Company required a signed purchase order and, depending upon the customer, a down payment toward the final invoiced price or full payment in advance with certain international product distributors. 2. Delivery and performance have occurred. Unless the purchase order requires specific installation or customer acceptance, the Company recognizes revenue when the product ships. If the purchase order requires specific installation or customer acceptance, the Company recognizes revenue when such installation or acceptance has occurred. Title to the product passes to its customer upon shipment. This revenue recognition policy does not differ among its various different product lines. The Company guarantees the functionality of its product. If its product does not function as marketed when received by the customer, the Company either makes the necessary repairs on site or has the product shipped to the Company for the repair work. Once the product has been repaired and retested for functionality, it is re-shipped to the customer. The Company provides warranties that generally extend for one year from the date of sale. Such warranties cover the necessary parts and labor to repair the product as well as any shipping costs that may be required. The Company maintains a reserve for estimated warranty costs based on its historical experience and management's current expectations. 3. The sales price is fixed or determinable. The purchase order received from the customer includes the agreed upon sales price. The Company does not accept customer orders, and therefore does not recognize revenue, until the sales price is fixed. 4. Collectibility is reasonably assured. With limited exceptions, the Company requires down payments on product prior to shipment. In some cases the Company requires payment in full prior to shipment. The Company also performs 23 credit checks on new customers and ongoing credit checks on existing customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on historical experience and management's current expectations. Recoverability of Inventory. Since its inception, the Company has purchased several complete lines of inventory. In some circumstances the Company has been able to utilize certain items acquired and others remain unused. On a quarterly basis, the Company attempts to identify inventory items that have shown relatively no movement or very slow movement. Generally, if an item has shown little or no movement for over a year, it is determined not to be recoverable and a reserve is established for that item. In addition, if the Company identifies products that have become obsolete due to product upgrades or enhancements, a reserve is established for such products. The Company intends to make efforts to sell these items at significantly discounted prices. If items are sold, the cash received would be recorded as revenue, but there would be no cost of sales on such items due to the reserve that has been recorded. At the time of sale, the inventory would be reduced for the item sold and the corresponding inventory reserve would also be reduced. Recoverability of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company's intangible assets consist of goodwill, product and technology rights, engineering and design costs, and patent costs. Intangibles with a determined life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their determined useful life and are also evaluated for potential impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangibles with an indefinite life, such as goodwill, are not amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual basis or when events and circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment tests include comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying net book value, including goodwill. To date, the Company's determination of the fair value of the reporting unit has been based on the estimated future cash flows of that reporting unit. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to offset estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense associated with the increases in the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as part of general and administrative expense. The Company's accounting policy generally is to record an allowance for receivables over 90 days past due unless there is significant evidence to support that the receivable is collectible. General The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainty. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed in this section. The Company's fiscal year is from January 1 through December 31. The Company is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and sale of high technology diagnostic and surgical eye care products. Given the "going concern" status of the Company, management has focused efforts on those products and activities that will, in its opinion, achieve the most resource efficient short-term cash flow. As seen in the results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, diagnostic products have been the major focus and the Photon(TM) and other extensive research and development projects have been put on hold pending future evaluation when the Company's financial position improves. The Company does not focus on a specific diagnostic product or products but, instead, on this entire diagnostic product group. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded an increase in the warranty accrual of $40,000. This increase was a result of a comprehensive analysis by management regarding historical warranty costs. Historically, the Company has recorded a monthly warranty expense and related increase to the warranty accrual. However, in recent periods the usage of the warranty accrual has continued to increase. After reviewing the recent historical data, management determined that the warranty accrual should be increased by $40,000 to $155,000. Management will continue to closely monitor the warranty accrual usage to ensure that the proper amount has been accrued. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, management made certain adjustments to the financial statements, including a decrease in the reserve for obsolete or estimated non-recoverable inventory of $37,000. The Company also recorded a net decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable of $1,000, impairment of intangibles of $-0-, and decreases in accruals to settle outstanding disputes in the amount of $98,000. The Company's ultrasound diagnostic products include a P55 pachymetric analyzer, a P2200 pachymetric analyzer, a P2000 Ultrasound A-Scan biometric analyzer, a P2500 combination A/Scan and Pachymeter, a P37 Ultrasound A/B Scan, a P37-II Ultrasound A/B scan, a P2700 Ultrasound A/B Scan, a P40 Ultrasound Biomicroscope, a P45 Plus Ultrasound Biomicroscope, a P50 Ultrasound Biomicroscope, and a P60 Ultrasound Biomicroscope, the technology for which was acquired from Humphrey Systems in 1998. The Company introduced the P45 Plus in 24 the fall of 2000, which combines the A/B Scan, and the biomicroscope into one instrument. The Company introduced the P60 in March 2005, which represents the fourth generation of UBM devices and has better visual clarity and image flexibility than earlier versions. In addition, the Company markets its Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) acquired in the purchase of Ocular Blood Flow Ltd. in June 2000. Other diagnostic products are the Dicon(TM) LD400 Auto Perimeter and the Dicon (TM) CT 200e Corneal Topographer, which were acquired in the acquisition of Vismed d/b/a Dicon in June 2000. The Company purchased the inventory, design and production rights of the SIStem(TM) , the Odyssey and the Surgetrol from Mentor Corporation in October 1999, which was designed to perform minimally invasive cataract surgery. In November 1999, the Company entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement with the manufacturer of the Precisionist ThirtyThousand(TM), in which the Company purchased the raw materials and finished goods inventory to bring the manufacturing of this product in-house. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company sold all inventory and rights associated with the SIStem(TM) and Odyssey(TM) for $125,000. This transaction resulted in sales of $125,000 with no cost of sales because a reserve for obsolete inventory had been recorded on all SIStem(TM) and Odyssey(TM) inventory. Because of the "going concern" status of the Company, management has focused efforts on those products and activities that will, in its opinion, achieve the most resource efficient short-term cash flow to the Company. As reflected in the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, diagnostic products are currently the Company's major focus and the Photon(TM) and other extensive research and development projects have been put on hold pending future evaluation when the financial position of the Company improves. Due to the lack of current evidence to support recoverability, the Company has recorded an inventory reserve to offset the inventory associated with the Precisionist Thirty Thousand(TM) and the Photon(TM) as well as certain other inventory items that are estimated to be non-recoverable due to the lack of significant turnover of such items in recent periods. The Company has shown improvement in its manufacturing efficiencies, as well as the timeliness and the quality of the Company's services to its customers. For example, a great deal of the improvement is attributable to reforms in operations, which enabled dramatically improved availability of product and decreased lead times. Additional reorganization of services enabled substantially reduced wait times and reserve requirements. Specifically, during 2005 the Company was able to record an increase in income of approximately $30,000 from a reduction in warranty reserves. This reduction was a result of a comprehensive analysis by management regarding historical warranty costs. Historically, the Company has recorded a monthly warranty expense and related increase to the warranty accrual. However, in recent periods the usage of the warranty accrual has continued to decline. After reviewing the recent historical data, the Company determined that the warranty accrual should be reduced by approximately $300,000. The Company will continue to closely monitor the warranty accrual usage to ensure that the proper amount has been accrued. Activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included sales of the Company's products and related accessories and disposable products. In March 2004, the Company named a new President and Chief Executive Officer, John Y. Yoon. Mr. Yoon resigned effective December 31, 2005 to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Yoon was replaced by Raymond P.L. Cannefax as President and Chief Executive Officer on January 5, 2006. In April 2004, the Company named Aziz A. Mohabbat as Vice President of Operations and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Mohabbat resigned effective November 15, 2005 to pursue other opportunities. In March 2006, the Company named Luis A. Mostacero as Vice President of Finance. Mr. Mostacero previously served as the Company's Controller from June 2000 to August 2005. In April 2006, the Company named Michael S. Austin as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. In November 2006 Mr. Austin resigned from the Company. In December 2006, Christina O'Connor was promoted to the position of Vice President of International Sales and Relations. In January 2007, Al Franklin joined the Company as the Vice President of Domestic Sales. On May 7, 2002, the Company received a letter from the FDA requesting further clinical information regarding the Photon(TM). The Company is in the process of generating the additional clinical information in response to the letter. The Company cannot market or sell the Photon(TM) in the United States until FDA approval is granted. On November 4, 2002, the Company received FDA approval for expanded indications of use of the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) for pulsatile ocular blood flow, volume and pulsatility equivalence index. Also, the Company is continuing its efforts to educate the payors of Medicare claims throughout the country about the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM), its purposes and the significance of its performance in patient care in order to achieve reimbursements to the providers. These efforts should lead to a more positive effect on sales. 25 In April 2001, the Company received written authorization from the CPT Editorial Research and Development Department of the American Medical Association to use a common procedure terminology or CPT code number 92120 for its Blood Flow AnalyzerTM, for reimbursement purposes for doctors using the device. However, certain insurance payors have elected not to reimburse doctors using the Blood Flow AnalyzerTM. The Company believes the reasons why insurance payors initially elected not to reimburse doctors using the CPT code were the relatively high volume of claims that began to be submitted under CPT code number 92120 compared to the limited volume of claims previously submitted under this code, and the time consumed by the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) test, which some payors may have believed was less than what is allowed under CPT code number 92120. This trend began shortly after insurance payors were presented with reimbursement requests under this code, and the Company believes these reasons were the basis for the initiation of nonpayment. The impact of this nonpayment by certain payors on the Company's future operations is a lower volume of sales, particularly in those states where reimbursement is not yet approved or is delayed. Currently, there is reimbursement by insurance payors in 22 states and partial reimbursement in four other states. As insurance payors have the prerogative whether to provide reimbursement to doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM), the Company is continuing to work with insurance payors in states where there is no reimbursement to doctors using the CPT code to demonstrate the value of the instrument. However, some insurance payors are currently not providing reimbursement to doctors where a regional or state administrator of Medicare has elected not to provide Medicare coverage for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). The Company is continuing to work with the regional and state administrators of Medicare who have denied Medicare coverage for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) to demonstrate the value of the instrument. There were a number of factors that contributed to the decrease in sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer (TM) and other products. September 11, 2001, the ensuing Afghanistan conflict, and the Iraq war had a significant impact on the Company's international sales. The U.S. recessionary economic trend has impacted its domestic sales. Additionally, the Company restructured its sales organization and sales channels by decreasing its direct sales force who are full-time employees from 10 direct sales employees on January 1, 2003, to three direct sales employees on December 31, 2005. The dependent sales force was reduced because the Company does not have sufficient revenues to justify the larger direct sales force. One of the challenges for fiscal 2006 will be the judicious reconstruction of the sales force in anticipation of increased sales. The Company intends to increase its efforts to sell its diagnostic products through independent sales representatives and ophthalmic equipment distributors, which are paid commissions only for their sales. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had one independent sales representative and 54 ophthalmic and medical product distributors outside the United States. The Company hopes to benefit from these recently hired sales representatives and distributors in the United States as they gain familiarity, through training, of the Company's diagnostic products. Due to concerns over the budget and the effectiveness of trade shows, the Company exhibited at only two trade shows during 2005. The Company monitors trade show attendance to determine the extent to which it will exhibit at future trade shows. On September 19, 2002, the Company completed a transaction with International Bio-Immune Systems, Inc., a privately held biotechnology based, cancer diagnostic and immunotherapy company, in which the Company acquired 2,663,254 of its shares, or 19.9% of its outstanding shares, and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock of International Bio-Immune Systems at $2.50 per share for a period of two years, through the exchange and issuance of 736,945 shares of the Company's common stock, the lending of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the company, and the payment of certain of its expenses through the issuance of an aggregate of 94,000 shares of common stock to International Bio-Immune Systems and its counsel. On August 3, 2004, the Company sold its investment in International Bio-Immune Systems for net proceeds of $505,000 pursuant to a stock purchase and sale agreement with William Ungar, a current director and shareholder of International Bio- Immune Systems. The securities sold to Mr. Ungar consisted of 2,663,254 common shares of International Bio-Immune Systems and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 common shares of International Bio-Immune Systems at $2.50 per share. Because, for book purposes, the Company's investment in International Bio-Immune Systems had been reduced to $0, the full amount of the $505,000 received from the sale of the International Bio-Immune Systems common shares and warrants was reported as a gain in 2004. 26 Outstanding Commitments to Issue Shares The following table identifies our outstanding commitments to issue shares, including the shares underlying the convertible notes and warrants issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants: Underlying Shares Security of Common Stock Notes (1) 218,408,333 Warrants (2) 25,059,392 Preferred Stock (3) 873,071 Stock Options (4) 7,075,500 ---------------- Total 251,416,296 (1) Assumes full conversion of $3,145,080 of notes issued to AJW Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, and New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC at a conversion price of $.0144 per share (based upon a market price of $.024 as of February 13, 2007 with a 40% discount). (2) Consisting of warrants exerciseable at prices ranging from $.10 per share to $6.75 per share, including warrants issued to AJW Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, and New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC to purchase 16,534,392 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.20 per share, exerciseable through the period from April 27, 2010 to June 30, 2010, and warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares of common stock at an exerciseable price of $.10 per share, exerciseable through the period from February 28, 2011 to June 28, 2011. (3) Consisting of 6,753 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 5,627 shares of Series A preferred stock, 10,783 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 8,986 shares of Series B preferred stock, 8,750 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 5,000 shares of Series D preferred stock, 13,333 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 250 shares of Series E preferred stock, 245,217 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 4,598.75 shares of Series F preferred stock, and 588,235 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 588,235 shares of Series G preferred stock. (4) Consisting of stock options granted to executive officers and employees to purchase 4,825,500 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $.01 per share to $2.75 per share, and stock options granted to directors to purchase 2,250,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $.09 per share to $2.75 per share. There are a total of 251,416,296 shares underlying our convertible notes, warrants, preferred stock and stock options, assuming full conversion of the outstanding notes and preferred stock and the exercise of all the outstanding warrants and stock options. The number of our authorized shares of common stock is 800,000,000 shares. The large number of our shares of common stock underlying our notes, warrants, preferred stock and stock options will require us to increase the number of authorized shares. Failure to obtain stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares could result in the noteholders commencing legal action against us and foreclosing on all of our assets to recover damages. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease our operations. Convertible Notes April 27, 2005 Sale of $2,500,000 in Convertible Notes. To obtain funding for the Company's ongoing operations, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with four accredited investors on April 27, 2005 for the sale of (i) $2,500,000 in convertible notes and (ii) warrants to purchase 16,534,392 shares of its common stock. The sale of the convertible notes and warrants is to occur in three traunches and the investors provided the Company with an aggregate of $2,500,000 as follows: o $850,000 was disbursed on April 27, 2005; o $800,000 was disbursed on June 23, 2005 after filing a registration statement on June 22, 2005 to register the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes and the warrants; and o $850,000 was disbursed on June 30, 2005, the effective date of the registration statement. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed not, without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest of the investors, to negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that involves (i) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any warrants or options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate number of 27 shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the lock-up period beginning April 27, 2005 and ending on the later of (a) 270 days from April 27, 2005, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration statement is declared effective. In addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) during the period beginning April 27, 2005 and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it first provided each investor an option to purchase its prorata share (based on the ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement) of the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each investor must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity financing at least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity financing and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day period following delivery of such notice. The $2,500,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up front. The interest rate resets to zero percent for any month in which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price, or $.0945, for each trading day during that month. Any amount of principal or interest on the convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The convertible notes mature in three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's common stock at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.09 or (ii) 60% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the notes may be converted. The convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property. Moreover, the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the Company and the Company's stock is trading at or below $.09 per share. An event of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest on the callable secured convertible notes when due or to timely file a registration statement as required by the Company or obtain effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be made in cash equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes; (b) 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c) 145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the 60th day following the issue date of the notes. The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $.20 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event the investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, then the Company will not receive any proceeds therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the warrants or issued in connection with the callable secured convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement. The noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their callable secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, the selling stockholders may repeatedly sell shares of common stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert additional callable secured convertible notes. As of January 31, 2007, a total of $854,920 in convertible notes had been converted pursuant to conversion notices from the noteholders. February 28, 2006 Sale of $1,500,000 in Convertible Notes. To obtain additional funding for the Company's ongoing operations, the Company entered into a second securities purchase agreement on February 28, 2006 with the same four accredited investors for the sale of (i) $1,500,000 in convertible notes and (ii) warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of its common stock. The sale of the convertible notes and warrants is to occur in three traunches and the investors are obligated to provide the Company with an aggregate of $1,500,000 as follows: 28 o $500,000 was disbursed on February 28, 2006; o $500,000 was disbursed on June 28, 2006 after the Company filed a registration statement on June 15, 2006 to register the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes. The registration statement was subsequently withdrawn on July 25, 2006 and a new registration statement was filed on September 15, 2006 to register 60,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. o $500,000 will be disbursed upon the effectiveness of the registration statement that registers 60,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes. Each closing under the securities purchase agreement was subject to the following conditions: o The Company delivers to the investors duly executed convertible notes and warrants; o No litigation, statute, regulation or order had been commenced, enacted or entered by or in any court, governmental authority or any self-regulatory organization that prohibits consummation of the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement; and o No event occurred that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company also agreed not, without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest of the investors, to negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that involves (i) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any warrants or options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the lock-up period beginning February 28, 2006 and ending on the later of (a) 270 days from February 28, 2006, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration statement is declared effective. In addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) during the period beginning February 28, 2006 and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it first provided each investor an option to purchase its prorata share (based on the ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement) of the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each investor must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity financing at least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity financing and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day period following delivery of such notice. The $1,500,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up front. The interest rate resets to zero percent for any month in which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price, or $.0275, for each trading day during that month. Any amount of principal or interest on the convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The convertible notes mature in three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's common stock at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or (ii) 60% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the notes may be converted. The convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property. Moreover, the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the Company and the Company's stock is trading at or below $.02 per share. An event of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest on the convertible notes when due or to timely file a registration statement as required by the Company or obtain effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement. Prepayment of the callable secured convertible notes is to be made in cash equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes; (b) 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c) 145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the 60th day following the issue date of the notes. 29 The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $.10 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event the investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, then the Company will not receive any proceeds therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the warrants or issued in connection with the callable secured convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement. The noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their callable secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, the selling stockholders may repeatedly sell shares of common stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert additional convertible notes. The Company is required to register 60,000,000 shares of its common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible notes that were issued to the noteholders pursuant to the securities purchase agreement that the Company entered into on February 28, 2006. The registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the February 28, 2006 closing date and the effectiveness of the registration is to be within 135 days of such closing date. Penalties of 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the convertible notes plus accrued interest are to be applied for each month the registration is not effective within the required time. The penalty may be paid in cash or stock at our option. Simple Conversion Calculation The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes is determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the notes to be converted and interest, if any, by the conversion price. For example, assuming conversion of the $3,145,080 principal amount of notes on January 31, 2007 (consisting of $3,500,000 in convertible notes that were sold to the four investors pursuant to the securities purchase agreements dated April 27, 2005 and February 25, 2006, plus $500,000 in notes to be sold to the investors upon the effectiveness of a registration statement, less $854,920 in notes that were converted during the period from June 30, 2005 to January 31, 2007) and a conversion price of $.0144 per share, the number of shares issuable upon conversion would be: $3,145,080/$.0144 = 218,408,333 shares. The Company's obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the convertible notes is essentially limitless. The following is an example of the amount of shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of $3,145,080 principal amount of convertible notes, based on market prices 25%, 50%, and 75% below the market price, as of February 13, 2007 of $.024. % Below Price Per With 40% Number of % of Market Share Discount Shares Issuable Outstanding* ------- ----- -------- ---------------- ----------- 25% $.018 $.0108 291,211,111 142.8% 50% $.012 $.0072 436,816,667 214.2% 75% $.006 $.0036 873,633,333 428.3% *Based on 201,956,394 shares outstanding. As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's callable secured convertible notes will increase if the market price of the Company's common stock declines, which will cause dilution to existing stockholders. Adjustable Conversion Price of Convertible Notes The callable secured convertible notes are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a 40% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of 30 the common stock as the noteholders convert and sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The noteholders could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of notes, warrants and options, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may have a depressive effect on the market price of the common stock. Possible Dilution to Stockholders The issuance of shares upon conversion of convertible notes and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dissolution to the interests of other stockholders since the holders of the convertible notes may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable upon conversion. Although the noteholders may not convert their callable secured convertible notes and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or exercise price would cause them to own more than 4.99% of the Company's outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the noteholders from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, the noteholders could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued, which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of the Company's common stock. Failure to Repay Convertible Notes May Require Company Operations to Cease On April 27, 2005, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the sale of an aggregate of $2,500,000 principal amount of convertible notes. On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into another securities purchase agreement for the sale of an aggregate of $1,500,000 principal amount of convertible notes. These callable secured convertible notes are all due and payable, with 8% interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of the Company's common stock. Although the Company currently has $2,145,080 in convertible notes outstanding, the noteholders are obligated to purchase additional convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $500,000. Any event of default such as the Company's failure to repay the principal or interest when due on the notes, the Company's failure to issue shares of common stock upon conversion by the noteholders, the Company's breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the securities purchase agreement or related convertible notes, the assignment or appointment of a receiver to control a substantial part of the Company's property or business, the filing of a money judgment, writ or similar process against the Company in excess of $50,000, the commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against the Company, and the delisting of the Company's common stock could require the early repayment of the convertible notes, including a default interest rate of 15% on the outstanding principal balance of the notes if the default is not cured within the specified grace period. The Company anticipates that the full amount of convertible notes will be converted into shares of its common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible notes. If the Company is required to repay the convertible notes, it would be required to use its limited working capital and raise additional funds. If the Company were unable to repay the notes when required, the noteholders could commence legal action against the Company and foreclose on all of its assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require the Company to curtail or cease operations. Results of Operations Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005 Net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 decreased by $6,000 to $2,195,000 as compared to $2,201,000 for the same period of 2005. This reduction in sales was primarily due to decreased sales of the P40, P45 and P60 Ultrasound Biomicroscopes, the P37 A/B Scan Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic and the P55 Pachymeter. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, sales from the Company's diagnostic products totaled $1,928,000, or 88% of total revenues, compared to $1,949,000, or 89% of total revenues for the same period of 2005. The remaining 12% of sales, or $266,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006was from parts, disposables, and service revenue. 31 Sales of the P40, P45 and P60 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscopes decreased to $547,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, or 25% of total revenues for the period, compared to $967,000, or 44% of total revenues, for the same period last year. Sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) increased by $114,000 to $211,000, or 10% of total revenues, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, compared to net sales of $97,000, or 4% of total revenues during the same period in 2005. Sales from the P37, P37-II and P2700 A/B Scan Ocular Ultrasound Diagnostic increased to $221,000, or 10% of total revenues, for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, up compared to $181,000 for the same period last year. Combined sales of the LD 400 and TKS 5000 autoperimeters and the CT 200 Corneal Topographer were $856,000, or 39% of the total revenues, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $671,000, or 31% of total revenues, for the same period of 2005. Sales for 2006 compared to 2005 have remained constant for the Company due to a variety of reasons associated with the corporate reorganization process. Sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) increased due in part from the reorganization of the Company's sales force. The Company anticipates continuing the upward trend in Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) sales through additional efforts by the Company to gain more wide spread support from the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) through increased clinical awareness, product development and improved marketing plans. Sales of surgical products are at a standstill pending FDA approval of the Photon(TM) laser system. In the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, the Company realized no sales in the surgical line consisting of the Photon(TM) laser system. There were also no sales in the surgical line for the comparable period of 2005. Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 increased to 42% of total revenues, compared to 27% of total revenues for the same period in 2005. This increase in gross profit in 2006 was mainly due to reductions in corporate expenditures due to improved operating efficiencies during the twelve months ending December 31, 2006. There was no increase to cost of sales as a result of a charge to the reserve for obsolete inventory in 2006. Marketing and selling expenses decreased by $207,000, or 32%, to $434,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, from $641,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This reduction was due primarily to a reduced number of sales representatives and lower travel related and associated sales expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $286,000, or 27%, to $792,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, from $1,078,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This reduction in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the reduction in management salaries compared to previous management salaries and the reduction of the number of employees that had been previously hired to assist in the development, testing, marketing and sales of the new P60 UBM. Professional legal fees-related party expenses decreased by $33,000, or 15%, to $187,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, from $220,000 for the comparable period in 2005. In addition, during the first quarter of 2005, the Company issued 515,206 shares of common stock to two shareholders that had purchased shares of the Company's Series G convertible preferred stock in a private offering. Under the terms of the private offering, the Company was required to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering the common shares issuable to the Series G preferred stockholders upon conversion of their Series G preferred shares and exercise of their warrants. The shares were issued as a penalty for the Company not having a registration statement declared effective within 120 days of the initial closing of the private offering. Also during 2006, the Company collected $1,000 in receivables that were previously allowed in the allowance for doubtful accounts. During 2006, the Company decreased allowance for doubtful accounts by $28,000. Research, development and service expenses decreased by $605,000, or 71%, to $250,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $855,000 for the same period of 2005. This reduction was mainly due to the increased expenses in 2005 related to the development of the new P60 UBM, including the cost of compliance with regulatory requirements. Due to our ongoing cash flow difficulties, most of the Company's vendors and suppliers were contacted during 2005 and 2006 with attempts to negotiate reduced payments and settlement of outstanding accounts payable. Although some 32 vendors refused to negotiate and demanded payment in full, some vendors were willing to settle for a reduced amount. The accounts payable forgiven by vendors and suppliers resulted in a gain of $34,000 and $12,000 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company used $828,000 in cash in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, compared to $2,668,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in cash used for operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 was primarily attributable to the Company's net loss and decreases in accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory and a significant decrease in the beneficial conversion feature. Cash use for investment activities on December 31, 2006 was $20,000 compared to $-0- for December 31, 2005. Net cash used in financing activities was $988,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, versus cash used of $2,603,000 in the same period in 2005. The Company had working capital of $370,000 as of December 31, 2006. In January 2005, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor for $150,000 in cash. In the past, the Company has relied heavily upon sales of the Company's common and preferred stock to fund operations. There can be no assurance that such equity funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company in the future. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $43.3 million. These loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and have begun to expire in 2001 and extend for twenty years. The Company's ability to use net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) to offset future income is dependent upon certain limitations as a result of the pooling transaction with Vismed and the tax laws in effect at the time of the NOLs being utilized. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 significantly limits the annual amount that can be utilized for certain of these carryforwards as a result of change of ownership. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had accounts payable of $400,000, a significant portion of which was over 90 days past due. The Company has contacted many of the vendors or companies that have significant amounts of payables past due in an effort to delay payment, renegotiate a reduced settlement payment, or establish a longer term payment plan. While some companies have been willing to renegotiate the outstanding amounts, others have demanded payment in full. Under certain conditions, including but not limited to judgments rendered against the Company in a court of law, a group of creditors could force the Company into bankruptcy due to its inability to pay the liabilities arising out of such judgments at that time. In addition to the accounts payable noted above, the Company also has noncancelable capital lease obligations and operating lease obligations that require the payment of approximately $218,000 in 2006, and $194,000 in 2005. The Company has taken numerous steps to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies. These steps consist of the following: 1. The Company closed its San Diego facility. In so doing, numerous manufacturing, accounting and management responsibilities were consolidated. In addition, such closure resulted in significant head count reductions as well as savings in rent and other overhead costs. 2. The Company has reduced the size of its manufacturing facility and corporate office in Salt Lake City. In doing so, management responsibilities were consolidated. Such reduction in space resulted in a reduction in the number of employees, as well as savings in rent and other overhead expenses. 3. The Company has significantly reduced the use of consultants, which has resulted in a large decrease to these expenses. 4. The Company has reduced its direct sales force to three representatives, which has resulted in less payroll, travel and other selling expenses. Because the Company has significantly fewer sales representatives, its ability to generate sales has been reduced. The Company has taken measures to reduce the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable such as more thorough and stringent credit approval, improved training and instruction by sales personnel, and frequent direct communication with the customer subsequent to delivery of the system. The allowance for doubtful accounts was15% of total outstanding receivables as of 33 December 31, 2006 and 20% as of December 31, 2005. The allowance for doubtful accounts decreased slightly from $100,000 at December 31, 2005 to $72,000 at December 31, 2006. The Company intends to continue its efforts to reduce the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable. The Company has ongoing efforts to collect a significant portion of the sales price in advance of the sale or in a timely manner after delivery. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the Company added a net zero to the allowance for doubtful accounts, and during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, the Company had a net recovery of receivables previously allowed for of $1,000. The Company believes that by requiring a large portion of payment prior to shipment, it has greatly improved the collectibility of its receivables. The Company carried an allowance for obsolete or estimated non-recoverable inventory of $1,320,000 at December 31, 2006 and $1,357,000 at December 31, 2005, or 58% and 61% of total inventory, respectively. The Company's means of expansion and development of product has been largely from acquisition of businesses, product lines, existing inventory, and the rights to specific products. Through such acquisitions, the Company has acquired substantial inventory, some of which the eventual use and recoverability was uncertain. In addition, the Company has a significant amount of inventory relating to the Photon(TM) laser system, which does not yet have FDA approval in order to sell the product domestically. Therefore, the allowance for inventory was established to reserve for these potential eventualities. On a quarterly basis, the Company attempts to identify inventory items that have shown relatively no movement or very slow movement. Generally, if an item has shown little or no movement for over a year, it is determined not to be recoverable and a reserve is established for that item. In addition, if the Company identifies products that have become obsolete due to product upgrades or enhancements, a reserve is established for such products. The Company intends to make efforts to sell these items at significantly discounted prices. If items are sold, the cash received would be recorded as revenue, but there would be no cost of sales on such items due to the reserve that has been recorded. At the time of sale, the inventory would be reduced for the item sold and the corresponding inventory reserve would also be reduced. At this time, the Company's Photon(TM) Laser Ocular Surgery Workstation requires regulatory FDA approval in order to be sold in the United States. Any possible future efforts to complete the clinical trials on the Photon(TM) in order to file for FDA approval would depend on the Company obtaining adequate funding. The Company estimates that the funds needed to complete the clinical trials in order to obtain the necessary regulatory approval on the Photon(TM) to be approximately $225,000. Effect of Inflation and Foreign Currency Exchange The Company has not realized a reduction in the selling price of its products as a result of domestic inflation. Nor has it experienced unfavorable profit reductions due to currency exchange fluctuations or inflation with its foreign customers. All sales transactions to date have been denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company has experienced a higher cost for equipment manufactured for the Company by Tinsley in England due to the exchange rate value of the pound sterling. Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle in the net income of the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that the accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, rather than being reported in an income statement. The new standard will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes the adoption of new standards will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or previously issued financial reports. In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. This statement is an amendment of FASB Statements 34 Nos. 133 and 140 to address what had been characterized as a temporary exemption from the application of the bifurcation requirements of Statement No. 133 to beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Prior to the effective date of Statement No. 133, the FASB received inquiries on the application of the exception in paragraph 14 of Statement No. 133 to beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. In response to the inquiries, Implementation Issue D1 indicated that, pending issuance of further guidance, entities may continue to apply the guidance related to accounting for beneficial interests in paragraphs 14 and 362 of Statement No. 140. Those paragraphs indicate that any security that can be contractually prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment should be subsequently measured like investments in debt securities classified as available-for-sale or trading under FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and may not be classified as held-to-maturity. Further, Implementation Issue D1 indicated that holders of beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are not subject to paragraphs 14 and 362 of Statement No. 140 are not required to apply Statement No. 133 to those beneficial interests until further guidance is issued. The Company believes the adoption of new standards will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or previously issued financial reports. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. This statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. In this statement the board decided to broaden the scope of the project to include all servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Servicing assets and servicing liabilities may be subject to significant interest rate and prepayment risks, and many entities use financial instruments to mitigate those risks. Currently, servicing assets and servicing liabilities are amortized over the expected period of estimated net servicing income or loss and assessed for impairment or increased obligation at each reporting date. The board acknowledged that the application of the lower of carrying amount or fair value measurement attribute to servicing assets results in asymmetrical recognition of economic events, because it requires recognition of all decreases in fair value but limits recognition of increases in fair value to the original carrying amount. Statement No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The board concluded that fair value is the most relevant measurement attribute for the initial recognition of all servicing assets and servicing liabilities, because it represents the best measure of future cash flows. This statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. Under this statement, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement of its servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying its accounting and providing for income statement recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of the servicing assets, servicing liabilities, and related derivative instruments. An entity that elects to subsequently measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value is expected to recognize declines in fair value of the servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value is expected to recognize declines in fair value of the servicing assets and servicing liabilities more consistently than by reporting other-than- temporary impairments. The Company believes the adoption of new standards will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or previously issued financial reports. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ("SFAS 158"). Under SFAS 158, companies must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. The effective date of the recognition and disclosure provisions for calendar-year public companies is for calendar years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but it is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 35 Item 7. Financial Statements PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. (the Company) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and has suffered recurring operating losses, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware Corporation incorporated in October 1989. The Company is engaged in the design, development, manufacture, and sale of high technology surgical and diagnostic eye care products. Its surgical equipment is designed to perform minimally invasive cataract surgery and is comprised of surgical devices and related instruments and accessories, including disposable products. Its diagnostic products include a Blood Flow Analyzer, a pachymeter, an A/B Scan, ultrasound biomicroscopes, perimeters, and a corneal topographer. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate carrying value based on their effective interest rates compared to current market prices. CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes all cash and investments with original maturities to the Company of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, payables, and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, receivables and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of the notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at market interest rates. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Specific reserves are estimated by management based on certain assumptions and variables, including the customer's financial condition, age of the customer's receivables, and changes in payment histories. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-7 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance has not been received by the contractual pay date. Interest is not charge on trade receivables that are past due. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to offset estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense associated with the increases in the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as part of general and administrative expense. The Company's accounting policy generally is to record an allowance for receivables over 90 days past due unless there is significant evidence to support that the receivable is collectible. Also during 2006, the Company collected $1,000 in receivables that were previously allowed in the allowance for doubtful accounts. During 2006, the Company decreased allowance for doubtful accounts by $28,000. The Company has taken measures to reduce the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable such as more thorough and stringent credit approval, improved training and instruction by sales personnel, and frequent direct communication with the customer subsequent to delivery of the system. The allowance for doubtful accounts was15% of total outstanding receivables as of December 31, 2006 and 20% as of December 31, 2005. The allowance for doubtful accounts decreased slightly from $100,000 at December 31, 2005 to $72,000 at December 31, 2006. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost is determined using the weighted average method. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the lease. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on sale of property and equipment are reflected in operations. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the term of the lease or the useful life of the related asset. During -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-8 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - CONTINUE the years 2006 and 2005 depreciation expense was $30,000 and $77,000 respectively. New purchased asset that have a value of $2,000 or are capitalized as and included on the depreciation schedule. INTANGIBLE ASSETS As of December 31, 2006, intangible assets consisted of goodwill related to the purchase of Ocular Blood Flow, Ltd., product rights, capitalized payments to manufacturers for engineering and design services and patent costs. In accordance with SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company performed an impairment test on all intangible assets at December 31, 2006. As a result no impairment change was recognized on the Company's statements of operations. The no change of impairment was based on a significant increase in sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer during 2006. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. The Company tests such intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Product rights, capitalized engineering, and patents were fully amortized as of December 31, 2006. The Company reviews such intangible assets with definite lives for impairment to ensure they are appropriately valued if conditions exist that may indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such conditions may include an economic downturn in a geographic market or a change in the assessment of future operations. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company performs tests for impairment of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it might be impaired. Such tests include comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. The analysis of the impairment test of goodwill resulted in a charge to the statements of operations of $0 and $340,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Impairment assessments are performed using a variety of methodologies, including cash flow analysis and estimates of sales proceeds. Where applicable, an appropriate discount rate is used, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-9 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED INTANGIBLE ASSETS - CONTINUE based on the Company's cost of capital rate or location-specific economic factors. EVALUATION OF OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company evaluates the carrying value of the unamortized balances of other long-lived assets to determine whether any impairment of these assets has occurred or whether any revision to the related amortization periods should be made. This evaluation is based on management's projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with each asset. If management's evaluation were to indicate that the carrying values of these assets were impaired, such impairment would be recognized by a write down of the applicable asset. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax reporting, principally related to net operating loss carryforwards, depreciation, impairment of intangible assets, stock compensation expense, and accrued liabilities. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION For stock options and warrants granted to employees the Company employs the footnote disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123 encourages entities to adopt a fair-value based method of accounting for stock options or similar equity instruments. However, it also allows an entity to continue measuring compensation cost for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 and provide pro forma footnote disclosures required by SFAS No. 123. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock options and warrants granted to non-employees for services are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123, which requires expense recognition based on the fair value of the options/warrants -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-10 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION - CONTINUED granted. The Company calculates the fair value of options and warrants granted by use of the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED SHARE-BASED PAYMENT The Company has stock option plans that provide for stock-based employee compensation, including the granting of stock options, to certain key employees. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations in accounting for awards made under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Under this method, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. During the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has granted options under its Stock Option Plan. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective transition method and the disclosures that follow are based on applying SFAS No. 123(R). Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2005 included: (a) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006. Accordingly, compensation cost of $23,000 has been recognized for grants of options to employees and directors in the accompanying statements of operations with an associated recognized tax benefit of $0 of which $0 was capitalized as an asset for the period ended December 31, 2006. In accordance with the modified-prospective transition method, the Company's financial statements for the prior year have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans and agreements been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2005 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company's net loss and basic net loss per common share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below: FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 Net income (loss) , as reported $(5,390,000) Plus stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net loss, net of related tax effects. - Less stock-based employee compensation expense determine under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (355,000) ------------ Pro forma net earnings (loss) $(5,745,000) ------------ Basis and diluted net loss per common share, as reported $ (.13) Basic net loss per share, pro forma $ (.14) Diluted net loss per share, Pro forma $ (.13) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-12 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED EARNINGS PER SHARE The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents, which would arise from the conversion of preferred stock to common stock and from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Options and warrants to purchase 32,064,392 shares of common stock were considered in the computation of earning per share but were not included because their inclusion would have been antidiluted. The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average shares for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------- 2006 2005 ------------------------- Basic weighted average shares outstanding 175,034,000 42,033,000 Net loss (1,816,000) (5,389,000) - - ------------------------- Per share amount (0.01) (0.13) ========================= REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues for sales of products that require specific installation and acceptance by the customer are recognized upon such installation and acceptance by the customer.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED REVENUE RECOGNITION - CONTINUED surgical systems, ultrasound diagnostic devices, and disposable products are recognized when the product is shipped. A signed purchase agreement and a deposit or payment in full from customers is required before a product leaves the premises. Title passes at time of shipment (F.O.B. shipping point). RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. These costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with specific projects as well as fees paid to various entities that perform certain research on behalf of the Company. The total research and development expenses for the years ended December 2006 and 2005 was $250,000 and 855,000, respectively. CONCENTRATION OF RISK The market for ophthalmic lasers is subject to rapid technological change, including advances in laser and other technologies and the potential development of alternative surgical techniques or new pharmaceutical products. Development by others of new or improved products, processes or technologies may make products developed by the Company obsolete or less competitive. The Company's high technology product line requires the Company to deal with suppliers and subcontractors supplying highly specialized parts, operating highly sophisticated and narrow tolerance equipment and performing highly technical calculations and tasks. Although there are a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers that meet the standards required of a regulated medical device, management believes that other suppliers and manufacturers could provide similar components and services. The nature of the Company's business exposes it to risk from product liability claims. The Company maintains product liability insurance providing coverage up to $2 million per claim with an aggregate policy limit of $2 million. Any losses that the Company may suffer from any product liability litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company. As of December 31, 2006, the company maintained the policy in placed. A significant portion of the Company's product sales is in foreign countries. The economic and political instability of some foreign -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-14 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED CONCENTRATION OF RISK - CONTINUED countries may affect the ability of medical personnel to purchase the Company's products and the ability of the customers to pay for the procedures for which the Company's products are used. Such circumstances could cause a possible loss of sales, which would affect operating results adversely. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, one single customer represented more than 10 percent of total net sales. Accounts receivable are due from medical distributors, surgery centers, hospitals, optometrists and ophthalmologists located throughout the U.S. and a number of foreign countries. The receivables are generally due within thirty days for domestic customers with extended terms offered for some international customers. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated potentially uncollectible amounts. WARRANTY The Company provides product warranties on the sale of certain products that generally extend for one year from the date of sale. The Company maintains a reserve for estimated warranty costs based on historical experience and management's best estimates. Years Ended Warranty Accruals December 31, ----------------- 2006 ------------ Beginning balance - warranty liability 125,000 Less: Reductions for payments (10,000) Plus: Increase for accrual 40,000 ------------ Ending balance - warranty liability 155,000 ============= USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS No amounts in the 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year financial statements.

Historically, the Company has not demonstrated the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy its liabilities and sustain operations, and the Company has incurred significant losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient income and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and/or obtain additional financing as may be required. The Company is actively seeking to obtain additional capital and financing. In addition, the Company has taken significant steps to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies, including the consolidation of several manufacturing, accounting and management responsibilities. Such consolidation resulted in significant headcount reductions as well as savings in other overhead costs. The Company has also significantly reduced the use of consultants, which has resulted in a large decrease in expenses, and reduced the direct sales force from five to three representatives, which has resulted in less payroll, travel and other selling expenses. Although these cost savings have significantly reduced the Company's losses and ongoing cash flow needs, if the Company is unable to obtain equity or debt financing, it may be unable to continue development of its products and may be required to substantially curtail or cease operations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-16 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC.

The Company performed an impairment test on all intangible assets at December 31, 2006. As a result no impairment expense was recognized in the Company's statements of operations. The no change of impairment was based on a significant increase in sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer during 2006. 5.

The sale of the convertible notes and warrants is to occur in three traunches and the investors provided the Company with an aggregate of $2,500,000 as follows: - $850,000 was disbursed on April 27, 2005; - $800,000 was disbursed on June 23, 2005 after filing a registration statement on June 22, 2005 to register the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes and the warrants; and - $850,000 was disbursed on June 30, 2005, the effective date of the registration statement. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed not, without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest of the investors, to negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) that involves (i) the issuance of common stock at a discount to the market price of the common stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any warrants or options to acquire common stock in connection therewith), (ii) the issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, or (iii) the issuance of warrants during the lock-up period beginning April 27, 2005 and ending on the later of (a) 270 days from April 27, 2005, or (b) 180 days from the date the registration statement is declared effective. In addition, the Company agreed not to conduct any equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) during the period beginning April 27, 2005 and ending two years after the end of the above lock-up period unless it first provided each investor an option to purchase its prorata share (based on the ratio of each investor's purchase under the securities purchase agreement) of the securities being offered in any proposed equity financing. Each investor must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity financing at least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-29 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES CONTINUED financing and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day period following delivery of such notice. The $2,500,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up front. The interest rate resets to zero percent for any month in which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price, or $.0945, for each trading day during that month. Any amount of principal or interest on the convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The convertible notes mature in three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's common stock at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.09 or (ii) 60% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the notes may be converted. The convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property. Moreover, the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the Company and the Company's stock is trading at or below $.09 per share. An event of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest on the callable secured convertible notes when due or to timely file a registration statement as required by the Company or obtain effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement. Prepayment of the convertible notes is to be made in cash equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes; (b) 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c) 145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the 60th day following the issue date of the notes.

In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the warrants or issued in connection with the callable secured convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement. The noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their callable secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, the selling stockholders may repeatedly sell shares of common stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert additional callable secured convertible notes. As of January 31, 2007, a total of $854,920 in convertible notes had been converted pursuant to conversion notices from the noteholders. February 28, 2006 Sale of $1,500,000 in Convertible Notes.

Each investor must be provided written notice describing any proposed equity financing at least 20 business days prior to the closing of such proposed equity financing and the option must be extended to each investor during the 15-day period following delivery of such notice. The $1,500,000 in convertible notes bear interest at 8% per annum from the date of issuance. Interest is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and is payable quarterly in cash, with six months of interest payable up front. The interest rate resets to zero percent for any month in which the stock price is greater than 125% of the initial market price, or $.0275, for each trading day during that month. Any amount of principal or interest on the convertible notes that is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date due thereof until such amount is paid. The convertible notes mature in three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's common stock at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $.02 or (ii) 60% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the notes may be converted. The convertible notes are secured by the Company's assets, including the Company's inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property. Moreover, the Company has a call option under the terms of the notes. The call option provides the Company with the right to prepay all of the outstanding convertible notes at any time, provided there is no event of default by the Company and the Company's stock is trading at or below $.02 per share. An event of default includes the failure by the Company to pay the principal or interest on the convertible notes when due or to timely file a registration statement as required by the Company or obtain effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement. Prepayment of the callable secured convertible notes is to be made in cash equal to either (a) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the notes; (b) 130% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the notes; or (c) 145% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the 60th day following the issue date of the notes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-33 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES CONTINUED The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $.10 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event the investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis, then the Company will not receive any proceeds therefrom. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the warrants or issued in connection with the callable secured convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement. The noteholders have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their callable secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, the selling stockholders may repeatedly sell shares of common stock in order to reduce their ownership percentage, and subsequently convert additional convertible notes. The Company is required to register 60,000,000 shares of its common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible notes that were issued to the noteholders pursuant to the securities purchase agreement that the Company entered into on February 28, 2006. The registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the February 28, 2006 closing date and the effectiveness of the registration is to be within 135 days of such closing date. Penalties of 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the convertible notes plus accrued interest are to be applied for each month the registration is not effective within the required time. The penalty may be paid in cash or stock at our option 10.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES CONTINUED The Company has paid a total of $87,500 to Mr. Hemmer under the consulting agreement. On May 30, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Hemmer in which he acknowledged that the Company owed him a total of $12,500 for past services he rendered to the Company, including as a consultant, and the Company agreed to pay him the sum of $12,500 in twelve monthly installments of $1,000 each and a final monthly payment of $500. The Company has paid $7,000 to Mr. Hemmer under this agreement. LITIGATION An action was brought against the Company in March 2000 by George Wiseman, a former employee, in the Third District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah. The complaint alleges that the Company owes Mr. Wiseman 6,370 shares of its common stock plus costs, attorney's fees and a wage penalty (equal to 1,960 additional shares of its common stock) pursuant to Utah law. Based upon an extension of a written employment agreement, the Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the action. An action was brought against the Company on September 11, 2000 by PhotoMed International, Inc. and Daniel M. Eichenbaum, M.D. in the Third District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah. The action involves an amount of royalties that are allegedly due and owing to PhotoMed International, Inc. and Dr. Eichenbaum under a license agreement dated July 7, 1993, with respect to the sale of certain equipment, plus costs and attorneys' fees. Certain discovery has taken place and the Company has paid royalties of $15,717, which the Company believes brings all payments current as of the date of last payment on January 7, 2005. The Company has been working with PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum to ensure that the calculations have been correctly made on the royalties paid as well as the proper method of calculation for the future. It is anticipated that once the parties can agree on the correct calculations on the royalties, the legal action will be dismissed. An issue in dispute concerning the method of calculating royalties is whether royalties should be paid on returned equipment. Since July 1, 2001, only one Photon(TM) laser system has been sold and no systems returned. Thus, the amount of royalties due, according to the -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-43 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES CONTINUED Company's calculations, is $981. The Company made payment of this amount to Photomed and Dr. Eichenbaum on January 5, 2005 and, as a result, seeks to have the legal action dismissed. However, if the parties are unable to agree on a method for calculating royalties, there is a risk that PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum might amend their complaint to request termination of the license agreement and, if successful, the Company would lose its right to manufacture and sell the Photon(TM) laser system. An action was filed on June 20, 2003, in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah (Civil No. 030914195) by CitiCorp Vendor Finance, Inc., formerly known as Copelco Capital, Inc. The complaint claims that $49,626 plus interest is due for the leasing of three copy machines that were delivered to the Company's Salt Lake City facilities on or about April of 2000. The action also seeks an award of attorney's fees and costs incurred in the collection. The Company filed an answer to the complaint disputing the amounts allegedly owed due to machine problems and a claimed understanding with the vendor. The Company returned two of the machines. The Company was engaged in settlement discussions with CitiCorp until counsel for CitiCorp withdrew from the case. New counsel for CitiCorp has been appointed. After the initial meeting with new counsel the Company provided initial disclosures to the new counsel. On September 10, 2003, an action was filed against the Company by Larry Hicks in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, (Civil No. 030922220), for payments due under a consulting agreement with us. The complaint claims that monthly payments of $3,083 are due for the months of October 2002 to October 2003 under a 20 consulting agreement and, if the agreement is terminated, for the sum of $110,000 minus whatever the Company has paid Mr. Hicks prior to such termination, plus costs, attorney's fees and a wage penalty pursuant to Utah law. The Company has filed an answer in which it denies any liability to Mr. Hicks. Formal discovery in the matter has commenced. The Company disputes the amount allegedly owed and intends to vigorously defend against such action. COMPLETION OF SETTLEMENT OF FEDERAL AND STATE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS On August 26, 2005, the federal court entered an order and final -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-44 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES CONTINUED judgment granting final approval of the settlement agreement reached on February 22, 2005 in the federal court class action lawsuit and dismissing the complaint filed in the lawsuit with prejudice as against the Company and its former executive officers, Thomas F. Motter, Mark R. Miehle and John W. Hemmer. In addition, the court permanently enjoined class members in the lawsuit and their successors and assigns from instituting any other actions against the Company and its former executive officers that had been or could have been asserted by the class members against the Company and its former executive officers in the federal court class action lawsuit. Following the entry of the order and final judgment in the federal court class action lawsuit, there was a 30 days period to appeal the order and final judgment. The 30 day period lapsed and no appeal was made of the order and final judgment. Consequently, the order and final judgment entered by the federal court is non-appealable. Under the terms of settlement of the federal court class action lawsuit, U.S. Fire Insurance Company, which issued a Directors and Officers Liability and Company Reimbursement Policy to the Company for the period from July 10, 2002 to July 10, 2003, agreed to pay the sum of $1,507,500 in cash to the class members that purchased securities of the Company during the period between April 17, 2002 and November 4, 2002. On August 23, 2005, the state court entered a final judgment and order of dismissal with prejudice, granting final approval of the terms of settlement reached on February 23, 2005 in the state court class action lawsuit, dismissing the state class action lawsuit and all claims contained therein against the Company and its former executive officers, and enjoining the class members in the lawsuit from prosecuting the settled claims against the Company and its former executive officers. Following the entry of the final judgment and order of dismissal with prejudice in the state court class action lawsuit, there was a 30 day period to appeal the final judgment and order. The 30 day period has now lapsed and no appeal was made of the final judgment and order. Consequently, the final judgment and order entered by the state court is nonappealable.

The consolidated action was captioned: In re: Paradigm Medical Industries Securities Litigation, with lead plaintiffs Rock Solid Investments of Miami, Inc., Brito & Brito Accounting, Inc. and Joseph Savanjo. The state court class action lawsuit was initially filed on October 14, 2003 by Albert Kinzinger, Jr., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, against Paradigm Medical and its former executive officers in the Third District Court for Salt Lake County, State of Utah. On February 22, 2005, the Company executed written settlement agreements to settle the federal and state court class action lawsuits. As a condition to the settlement agreements, the courts in such lawsuits must have entered orders granting final approval of the settlements reached in those respective actions, and such orders must have become final and nonappealable. 17. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS no. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No 3. APB Opinion No 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognize by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle in the net income of the period of the change. SFAS No 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-46 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS CONTINUED retained earnings for that period, rather than being reported in an income statement. The new standard will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes the adoption of new standard will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or previously issued financial reports. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and postretirement plans to recognize previously unrecognized actuarial losses and prior service costs in the statement of financial position and to recognize future changes in these amounts in the year in which changes occur through comprehensive income. As a result, the statement of financial position will reflect funded status of those plans as an asset or liability. Additionally, employers are required to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of their year-end statements of financial position and provide additional disclosures. SFAS 158 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 for companies whose securities are publicly traded. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 158 to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operation. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Where applicable, SFAS 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is encouraged. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-47 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS CONTINUED In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its financial reporting, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its disclosure requirements. In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets -- an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS 156")." This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in any of the following situations: a transfer of the servicer's financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting; a transfer of the servicer's financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale securities or trading securities; or an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the service or its consolidated affiliates. The statement also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits an entity to choose either the amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurement of each class of servicing assets and liabilities. The statement further permits, at its initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value and requires separate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-48 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS CONTINUED presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 156 will have no immediate impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" ("SFAS 155"), to (a) permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (b) clarify which interest-only strip and principal-only strip are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, (c) establish a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (d) clarify that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and (e) amend Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of SFAS 155 is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued any financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes SFAS 155 will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted. In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS 154"), to change financial reporting requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles and it also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-49 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS CONTINUED provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. The adoption of SFAS 154 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The implementation of the provisions of these pronouncements is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statement presentation. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company records impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In December 2006, a hearing on the motion for summary judgment in the Todd Smith case (Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 030924951CN) was held. At the hearing the court granted the motion dismissing the case in its entirety against the Company and three of its directors. A notice of appeal was filed on behalf of Mr. Smith and then subsequently withdrawn. Also in December 2006, a hearing on the motion for summary judgment in the Corinne Powell case (Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 030918364) was held. At the hearing the court granted the motion dismissing the case in its entirety against the Company and one of the directors. The appeal time has expired with no appeal being filed. On January 31 and February 1, 2007, the Company received FDA 510(k) pre-market approval for a new generation of ultrasound devices to be manufactured by MEDA Co., Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Worldwide OEM Agreement that the Company entered into with MEDA on June 12, 2006. MEDA is one of China's leading developers and producers of ultasound devices. This 510(K) approval allows the new devices to be sold in the United States. The new ultrasound devices, which are to be manufactured by MEDA and sold by the Company in the United States, include the -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-50 PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P2000 A-Scan (used to measure axial length of the eye), the P2200 Pachymeter (used for measuring corneal thickness), the P2500 A-Scan/Pachymeter (a combination of the two stand alone devices), the P2700 AB/Scan (an ultrasound imaging device for detecting abnormalities within the eye) and the P37-II (a more advanced AB/Scan used to provide portability for ophthalmology veterinary applications) and the P50 Ultrasound Biomicroscope for high frequency imaging of the anterior chamber of the eye. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F-51 Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures None. Item 8A. Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms. During the fourth fiscal quarter, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, effective as of November 1, 1996, the Company may make discretionary employer matching contributions to its employees who choose to participate in the plan. The plan allows the board to determine the amount of the contribution at the beginning of each year. The board adopted a contribution formula specifying that such discretionary employer matching contributions would equal 100% of the participating employee's contribution to the plan up to a maximum discretionary employee contribution of 3% of a participating employee's compensation, as defined by the plan. All persons who have completed at least six months' service with the Company and satisfy other plan requirements are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan is currently available to the Company's employees at the employees' expense with no matching contribution from the Company. 1995 Stock Option Plan The Company adopted a 1995 Stock Option Plan, for the officers, employees, directors and consultants of its company on November 7, 1995. The plan authorized the granting of stock options to purchase an aggregate of not more than 300,000 shares of its common stock. On February 16, 1996, options for substantially all 300,000 shares were granted. On June 9, 1997, its shareholders approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 300,000 shares to 600,000 shares. On September 3, 1998, its shareholders approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 600,000 shares to 1,200,000 shares. On November 29, 2000, its shareholders 41 approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 1,200,000 shares to 1,700,000 shares. On September 11, 2001, its shareholders approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 1,700,000 shares to 2,700,000 shares. On June 13, 2003, its shareholders approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 2,700,000 shares to 3,700,000 shares. On July 11, 2005, its shareholders approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 3,700,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares. The compensation committee administers the 1995 Stock Option Plan. In general, the compensation committee will select the person to whom options will be granted and will determine, subject to the terms of the plan, the number, exercise, and other provisions of such options. Options granted under the plan will become exercisable at such times as may be determined by the compensation committee. Options granted under the plan may be either incentive stock options, as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code, or non-incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to persons who are employees. Non-incentive stock options may be granted to any person, including, but not limited to, its employees, independent agents, consultants as the compensation committee believes has contributed, or will contribute, to its success as the compensation committee believes has contributed, or will contribute, to its success. The compensation committee determines the exercise price of options granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan, provided that, in the case of incentive stock options, such price is not less than 100% (110% in the case of incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% of voting power of its stock) of the fair market value (as defined in the plan) of the common stock on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of option grant) of stock with respect to which incentive stock options become exercisable for the first time in any year cannot exceed $100,000. The term of each option shall not be more than ten years (five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% of the voting power of its stock) from the date of grant. The Board of Directors has a right to amend, suspend or terminate the 1995 Stock Option Plan at any time; provided, however, that unless ratified by its shareholders, no amendment or change in the plan will be effective that would increase the total number of shares that may be issued under the plan, materially increase the benefits accruing to persons granted under the plan or materially modify the requirements as to eligibility and participation in the plan. No amendment, supervision or termination of the plan shall, without the consent of an employee to whom an option shall heretofore have been granted, affect the rights of such employee under such option. Employment Agreements The Company entered into an employment agreement with Raymond P.L. Cannefax, which commenced on January 5, 2006 and expires on January 5, 2007. The employment agreement requires Mr. Cannefax to devote substantially all of his working time as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, providing that he may be terminated for "cause" (as provided in the agreement) and prohibits him from competing with the Company for two years following the termination of his employment agreement. The employment agreement provides for the payment of an initial base salary of $125,000. The employment agreement also provides for salary increases and bonuses as shall be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors, with the first review of the annual salary to be made as of June 30, 2006. The employment agreement further provides for the issuance of stock options to purchase 4,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.01 per share. The options vest in twelve equal monthly installments of 375,000 shares, beginning on February 5, 2006 until such shares are vested. In the event of a change of control of the Company, then all outstanding stock options granted to Mr. Cannefax shall be immediately vested. A change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) a tender offer shall be made and consummated for the ownership of more than 25% of the Company's outstanding shares; (ii) the Company shall be merged or consolidated with another corporation and, as a result, less than 25% of the outstanding common shares of the surviving corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the Company's former shareholders, as the same shall have listed prior to such merger or consolidation; (iii) the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation that is not a wholly owned subsidiary or affiliate; (iv) as a result of any contested election for the Board of Directors, or any tender or exchange offer, merger of business combination or sale of assets, the persons who were directors of the Company before such a transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors; or (v) a person other than an officer or director of the Company shall acquire more than 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. 42 The Company entered into an employment agreement with John Y. Yoon, which commenced on March 18, 2004 and was to expire on March 18, 2007. The employment agreement required Mr. Yoon to devote substantially all of his working time as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, providing that he could be terminated for "cause" (as defined in the agreement) and prohibited him from competing with the Company for two years following the termination of his employment agreement.
