WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Wright
Medical Group, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and
regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial results. All
such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim
period are not indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts
and those of our wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable approximates the fair value of these financial instruments at
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 due to their short maturities or variable rates.
The fair value of our convertible senior notes was $209 million and $216 million as of September
30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for financial assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. This Statement applies to all financial
assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis, and establishes
a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact to our condensed consolidated
financial statements. SFAS 157 requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one
of the following three categories:
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active
market exchanges. |
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Financial instruments determined using prices for recently traded
financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly
observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at
commonly quoted intervals. |
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange.
This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for
the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable
inputs or valuation techniques. |
Currently, we have available-for-sale marketable securities that are impacted by this new
accounting standard. As of September 30, 2008, we have available-for-sale marketable securities
totaling $20.1 million. These securities are valued at fair value using a market approach, based on
quoted prices for the specific security from transactions in active exchange markets (Level 1).
Marketable Securities. During the second and third quarters of 2008, we invested in treasury bills
with maturity dates of less than 12 months. Our investments in these marketable securities are
classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. These
securities are carried at their fair value, and all unrealized gains and losses are recorded within
other comprehensive income.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2008, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative
instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding how an entity uses
derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for
under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as
amended, and how the derivatives affect an entitys financial position, financial

(UNAUDITED)
performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the year ending December
31, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 161.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS 162). This standard identifies a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is
effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to Audit Standard (AU) Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and in February 2008, the
FASB amended SFAS 157 by issuing FASB Staff Position FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No.
157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value
Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, and FASB Staff
Position FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (collectively SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit
fair value measurements, except those relating to lease classification, and accordingly does not
require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial assets and liabilities
in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for non-financial assets and liabilities in
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and
liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 with no material impact to our consolidated
financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have
on our consolidated financial statements as it relates to our non-financial assets and liabilities.
2. Acquisitions
INBONE Technologies, Inc. On April 3, 2008, we completed the acquisition of INBONE Technologies,
Inc. (Inbone), a privately held company focused on the field of ankle arthroplasty and small bone
fusion. The purchase consists of an initial cash payment of $23.2 million, guaranteed future
minimum payments of $3.7 million, and potential additional cash payments based upon future
operational and financial performance of the company. Assets acquired include the
INBONETM Total Ankle System and the INBONETM Intra-osseous Fusion Rod and
Plate System.
The operating results from this acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements from the acquisition date.
WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC.

The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
net of amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The
purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis, and reasonable changes may
occur as additional information becomes available. The following is a summary of the estimated fair
values of the net assets acquired, which includes transaction costs and the guaranteed future

Of the $9.5 million of acquired intangible assets, $5.2 million was assigned to completed
technology (ten year useful life), $1.5 million was assigned to registered trademarks (indefinite
useful life), $1.4 million was assigned to customer relationships (twelve year useful life), and
$1.4 million was assigned to other assets (five year useful life).
As part of the purchase price allocation, we recorded accrued expenses of $561,000 to involuntarily
terminate or relocate employees of the acquired entity. These exit activities were completed during
the second quarter of 2008.
In connection with this acquisition, we immediately recognized as expense approximately $2.5
million in costs representing the estimated fair value of acquired in-process research and
development (IPRD) that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future
use. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired IPRD
into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from this project, and
discounting the net cash flows back to their present values using an 18% risk adjusted discount
rate. This discount rate reflected uncertainties surrounding the successful development of IPRD.
A.M. Surgical, Inc. On June 9, 2008, we acquired certain assets of A.M. Surgical, Inc. (A.M.
Surgical), a New York-based company focused on providing endoscopic soft tissue release products
for foot and ankle surgeons. Prior to the acquisition, we had marketed A.M. Surgicals foot and
ankle products pursuant to a distribution agreement signed in October 2007. The purchase consists
of an initial cash payment of $2.1 million and potential additional cash payments based upon future
financial performance of the acquired assets, not to exceed $700,000. Assets acquired include all
of the A.M. Surgical endoscopic soft tissue release products for the foot and ankle market, which
consists of the AMTM EPF (plantar fascia release), AMTM UDIN (interdigital
nerve decompression) and AMTM EGR (gastrocnemius release) Systems. These three systems
address the decompression and soft tissue release procedures most commonly performed by foot and
ankle surgeons. The A.M. Surgical product line is highly complementary to our line of
reconstructive and biologic products for flatfoot corrective surgery.
The operating results from this acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements from the acquisition date.
The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the assets acquired based on their

Creative Medical Designs, Inc. and Rayhack LLC. On September 4, 2008, we completed the acquisition
of all assets associated with the RAYHACK® Osteotomy Systems (Rayhack) for complex wrist
reconstruction. The purchase consists of an initial cash payment of $1.4 million and potential
additional cash payments based on the future financial performance of the purchased assets, not to
exceed $1.6 million.
The operating results from this acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements from the acquisition date.
The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded
the initial consideration for the acquisition by approximately $447,000. The excess was recorded as
a liability for contingent consideration. The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a
preliminary basis, and reasonable changes may occur as additional information becomes available.

$280,000 was assigned to completed technology (ten year useful life), and $30,000 assigned to other
assets (five year useful life).
Our consolidated results of operations would not have been materially different than reported
results had the Inbone, A.M. Surgical, and Rayhack acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 2008

In April 2008, we sold certain assets of our Toulon, France facility. As part of that sale, the
buyer assumed our capital lease obligations of approximately $700,000 for certain machinery and
equipment located in that facility.
In November 2007, we issued $200 million of Convertible Senior Notes due 2014. The notes will
mature on December 1, 2014. The notes pay interest semiannually at an annual rate of 2.625% and are
convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 30.6279 shares per
$1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represents a conversion price of $32.65 per share. The
notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all existing and future secured debt, our
revolving credit facility, and all liabilities of our subsidiaries.
On September 30, 2008, our revolving credit facility had availability of $100 million, which can be
increased by up to an additional $50 million at our request and subject to the agreement of the
lenders. We currently have no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. Borrowings under
the credit facility will bear interest at the sum of an annual base rate plus an applicable annual
rate that ranges from 0% to 1.75% depending on the type of loan and our consolidated leverage
ratio, with a current annual base rate of 5.0%. The term of the credit facility extends through
June 30, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2008, we entered into a license agreement for $1.3 million plus
potential additional cash payments not to exceed $2.0 million.
Based on the intangible assets held at September 30, 2008, we expect to recognize amortization
expense of approximately $5.0 million for the full year of 2008, $4.7 million in 2009, $2.2 million
in 2010, $2.1 million in 2011, and $2.0 million in 2012.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R),
which replaced SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires
recognition of the fair value of an award of equity instruments granted in exchange for employee
services as a cost of those services.
Amounts recognized within the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

shares of common stock and 459,000 options to purchase common stock at a weighted-average fair
value of $28.38 and $11.99, respectively, which will be recognized on a straight line basis over
the requisite service period that, for the substantial majority of these grants, is four years. As
of September 30, 2008, we had approximately 4.0 million stock options outstanding, of which
approximately 2.5 million were exercisable, and 778,000 non-vested shares of common stock
outstanding.
We had $30.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based
compensation arrangements granted to employees as of September 30, 2008. That cost is expected to
be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

9. Income Taxes and Change in Accounting Principle
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaled
$6.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, which is included within Other liabilities on our
condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, $4.8 million of previously accrued liabilities
for unrecognized tax benefits were recognized as a benefit upon the effective settlement of a tax
examination of one of our subsidiaries in France. We remain under audit in other subsidiaries in
France, and based upon initial audit assessments and in accordance with the recognition and
measurement considerations in FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, during the first quarter of 2008, we increased our
liability for unrecognized tax benefits for these jurisdictions to $5.0 million. Management
believes that it is reasonably possible that this liability for unrecognized tax benefits may
significantly change within the next twelve months.
10. Earnings Per Share
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to include any dilutive
effect of our common stock equivalents. Our common stock equivalents consist of stock options,
non-vested shares of common stock, and convertible debt. The dilutive effect of the stock options
and non-vested shares of common stock is calculated using the treasury-stock method. The dilutive
effect of convertible debt is calculated by applying the if-converted method. This assumes an
add-back of interest, net of income taxes, to net income as if the securities were converted at the
beginning of the period. During the three month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2008,
the convertible debt had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and we therefore excluded
them from the dilutive shares calculation.
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share is as
follows (in thousands):

In addition, 728,000 and 715,000 common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of

because their effect is anti-dilutive as a result of our net loss for those periods.

12. Restructuring
In June 2007, we announced plans to close our manufacturing, distribution, and administrative
facility located in Toulon, France. The facilitys closure affected approximately 130 Toulon-based
employees. The majority of our restructuring activities were complete by the end of 2007, with
production now conducted solely in our existing manufacturing facility in Arlington, Tennessee and
the distribution activities being carried out from our European headquarters in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands.
Management currently estimates that the pre-tax restructuring charges will total approximately $28
million to $32 million. These charges consist of the following estimates:
|
|
|
$13 million to $14 million for severance and other termination benefits; |
|
|
|
|
$3 million of non-cash asset impairments of property, plant and equipment; |
|
|
|
|
$2 million of inventory write-offs and manufacturing period costs; |
|
|
|
|
$2 million to $4 million of external legal and professional fees; and |
|
|
|
|
$8 million to $9 million of other cash and non-cash charges (including employee
litigation). |
Charges associated with the restructuring are presented in the following table. All of the
following amounts were recognized within Restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated
statement of operations, with the exception of the inventory write-offs and manufacturing period
costs, which were recognized with Cost of sales restructuring.

As a result of the plans to close the facilities in 2007, we performed an evaluation of the
undiscounted future cash flows of the related asset group and recorded an impairment charge for the
difference between the net book value of the assets and their estimated fair values for those
assets we intended to sell. In April 2008, these assets were sold. We also recorded an impairment
charge in 2007 for assets to be abandoned.

In connection with the closure of our Toulon, France facility, a majority of our former employees
have filed claims to challenge the economic justification for their dismissal. Management has
accrued $3.8 million associated with these claims as of September 30, 2008. This liability is
recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. We cannot estimate whether any additional employees may
file claims or what, if any, further liability exists for those employees who have not filed claims
as of September 30, 2008.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
In 2000, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. (Howmedica), a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, filed a
lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that
we infringed Howmedicas U.S. Patent No. 5,824,100 related to our ADVANCE® knee product
line. The lawsuit seeks an order of infringement, injunctive relief, unspecified damages and
various other costs and relief and could impact a substantial portion of our knee product line. We
believe, however, that we have strong defenses against Howmedicas claims and are vigorously
defending this lawsuit. In November 2005, the District Court issued a Markman ruling on claim
construction. Howmedica conceded to the District Court that, if the claim construction as issued
was applied to our knee product line, our products do not infringe their patent. Howmedica appealed
the Markman ruling. In September 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit overturned
the District Courts Markman ruling on claim construction. The case will be remanded to the
District Court for further proceedings on alleged infringement and on our affirmative defenses,
which include patent invalidity and unenforceability. Management is unable to estimate the
potential liability, if any, with respect to the claims and accordingly, no provision has been made
for this contingency as of September 30, 2008. These claims are covered in part by our patent
infringement insurance. Management does not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
We are involved in separate disputes in Italy with a former agent and two former employees.
Management believes that we have meritorious defenses to the claims related to these disputes. The
payment of any amount related to these disputes is not probable and cannot be estimated at this
time. Accordingly, no provisions have been made for these matters as of September 30, 2008.
In December 2007, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) through the U.S.
Attorney for the District of New Jersey requesting documents for the period January 1998 through
the present related to any consulting and professional service agreements with orthopaedic surgeons
in connection with hip or knee joint replacement procedures or products. This subpoena was served
shortly after several of our knee and hip competitors agreed to resolutions with the DOJ after
being subjects of investigation involving the same subject matter. We are cooperating fully with
the DOJ request. We cannot estimate what, if any, impact any results from this inquiry could have
on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
In June 2008, we received a letter from the SEC informing us that it is conducting an informal
investigation regarding potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the sale of
medical devices in a number of foreign countries by companies in the medical device industry. We
understand that several other medical device companies have received similar letters. We are
cooperating fully with the SEC request. We cannot estimate what, if any, impact any results from
this inquiry could have on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In addition to those noted above, we are subject to various other legal proceedings, product
liability claims and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion
of management, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, will not materially
affect our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
General
The following managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
describes the principal factors affecting the results of our operations, financial condition and
changes in financial condition for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements and
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which includes additional
information about our critical accounting policies and practices and risk factors.
Executive Overview
Company Description. We are a global orthopaedic medical device company specializing in the design,
manufacture, and marketing of reconstructive joint devices and biologics products. Reconstructive
joint devices are used to replace knee, hip, and other joints that have deteriorated through
disease or injury. Biologics are used to replace damaged or diseased bone, to stimulate bone
growth, to repair damaged or diseased soft tissue, and to provide other biological solutions for
surgeons and their patients. We have been in business for over 50 years and have built a well-known
and respected brand name and strong relationships with orthopaedic surgeons.
Principal Products. We primarily sell reconstructive joint devices and biologics products. Our
reconstructive joint device sales are derived from three primary product lines: knees, hips, and
extremities. Our biologics sales encompass a broad portfolio of products designed to stimulate and
augment the natural regenerative capabilities of the human body. We also sell various orthopaedic
products not considered to be part of our knee, hip, extremity, or biologics product lines.
Significant Quarterly Business Developments. Net sales increased 22% in the third quarter of 2008
to $111.1 million, as compared to net sales of $91.4 million in the third quarter of 2007. For the
third quarter of 2008, we recorded net income of $4.2 million or $0.11 per diluted share, compared
to a net loss for the third quarter of 2007 of $1.5 million or ($0.04) per diluted share. Increased
profitability from higher sales and lower restructuring charges were partially offset by $1.5
million ($0.9 million net of taxes) of costs associated with the ongoing U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) inquiry.
Our third quarter domestic sales increased 22% as a result of growth within each of our principal
product lines. Our domestic extremity business grew 45% in the third quarter of 2008 and continues
to benefit from increased sales of our DARCO® and CHARLOTTE product lines
and product sales from our April 2008 acquisition of INBONE Technologies, Inc. (Inbone). Our
domestic biologics business had increased sales of 18%, primarily attributable to sales of our
PRO-DENSE® injectable regenerative graft, which was launched during the third quarter of
2007, as well as the continued success of our GRAFTJACKET® tissue repair and containment
membranes.
Our international sales increased 21% to $40.2 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to
$33.4 million in the third quarter of 2007. This increase was driven by growth in substantially all
of our major international markets. In addition, international sales in the third quarter of 2008
included a favorable currency impact of approximately $1.6 million.
During the third quarter of 2008, we completed the acquisition of all assets associated with the
RAYHACK® Osteotomy Systems (Rayhack) for complex wrist reconstruction. The purchase
consisted of an initial cash payment of $1.4 million plus potential additional cash payments based
on the future financial performance of the purchased assets, not to exceed $1.6 million.
Significant Industry Factors. Our industry is impacted by numerous competitive, regulatory, and
other significant factors. The growth of our business relies on our ability to continue to develop
new products and innovative technologies, obtain regulatory clearance and compliance for our
products, protect the proprietary technology of our products and our manufacturing processes,
manufacture our products cost-effectively, respond to competitive pressures specific to each of our
geographic markets, including our ability to enforce non-compete agreements, and successfully
market and distribute our products in a profitable manner. We, and the entire industry, are subject
to extensive governmental regulation, primarily by the United States Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our
business. Additionally, our industry is highly competitive and has recently experienced increased
pricing pressures, specifically in the areas of reconstructive joint devices. We devote significant
resources to assessing and analyzing competitive, regulatory and economic risks and opportunities.
A detailed discussion of these risks and other factors is provided in Item 1A of our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and elsewhere in this and other quarterly
reports.

In December 2007, we received a subpoena from the DOJ requesting certain documents related to
consulting agreements with orthopaedic surgeons. This subpoena was served shortly after several of
our knee and hip competitors agreed to resolutions with the DOJ after being subjects of
investigation involving the same subject matter. We continue to cooperate fully with the
investigation of the DOJ, and we anticipate that we may continue to incur significant expenses
related to this inquiry.
In June 2008, we received a letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) informing
us that it is conducting an informal investigation regarding potential violations of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act in the sale of medical devices in a number of foreign countries by companies
in the medical device industry. We understand that several other medical device companies have
received similar letters. We are cooperating fully with the SEC request.

The following graphs illustrate our product line net sales as a percentage of total net sales for
the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:
Product Line Sales as a Percentage of Total Net Sales
Net Sales. Our overall net sales growth of 22% in the third quarter of 2008 was attributable to our
continued success in our extremity product line, which increased 38% over prior year, as well as
expansion in our hip, knee, and biologics product lines, which increased 22%, 21%, and 12%,
respectively, over prior year. Geographically, our domestic net sales totaled $70.9 million in the
third quarter of 2008 and $58.0 million in the third quarter of 2007, representing 63.8% and 63.5%
of total net sales, respectively, and an increase of 22%. Our international net sales totaled $40.2
million in the third quarter of 2008, increasing by 21%, compared to $33.4 million in the third
quarter of 2007. International sales in 2008 include a favorable currency impact of $1.6 million,
principally resulting from the performance of the euro and the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar
in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007. Our international net sales in
the third quarter of 2008 were favorably impacted by sales growth in substantially all of our major
international markets.
Our hip product net sales totaled $37.6 million during the third quarter of 2008, representing an
increase of 22% over prior year, resulting from increased sales of our DYNASTYTM
Acetabular Cup System, our PROFEMUR® lines, and sales of revision hip stems introduced
during the second quarter of 2008. Our domestic hip sales increased 15% over prior year due to
increased unit sales, offset partially by declines in average selling price. Our international hip
business increased by 29% over prior year due to growth in almost all of our international markets,
with exceptional success in Japan, where hip sales increased 32%. Additionally, our international
hip sales include a $1.0 million favorable currency impact in 2008.
Our knee product net sales totaled $28.7 million in the third quarter of 2008, representing growth
of 21% over prior year. Knee sales increased 17% in the U.S., primarily as a result of increased
unit sales of our ADVANCE® knee systems. Our international knee sales increased 27% over
prior year, driven primarily by our European markets, as well as a $390,000 favorable currency
impact in 2008.
16
Our extremity product net sales increased to $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2008,
representing growth of 38% over the third quarter of 2007. This year-over-year growth was driven by
the continued success of our CHARLOTTETM Foot and Ankle system and sales of our
DARCO® plating systems, as well as sales of our INBONETM products acquired
during the second quarter 2008. Our domestic extremity product sales increased 45%, primarily
resulting from the performance of our foot and ankle product portfolio, including products recently
acquired from Inbone. Our international extremity product sales growth was primarily attributable
to increased sales of our DARCO® plating systems.
Net sales of our biologics products totaled $20.2 million in the third quarter of 2008,
representing year-over-year growth of 12%. In the U.S., biologics sales increased by 18% due to
increased sales of our PRO-DENSE® injectable regenerative graft, sales of our
GRAFTJACKET® tissue repair and containment membranes, and the success of our
CANCELLO-PURETM wedge products. In our international markets, we noted a decline in
biologics sales primarily due to the August 2007 disposition of our Adcon®-Gel related
assets.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 26.6% in the third
quarter of 2007 to 28.8% in the third quarter of 2008 as lower levels of non-cash, stock-based
compensation expense were offset by shifts in our geographic sales mix and higher levels of excess
and obsolete inventory provisions. Our cost of sales and corresponding gross profit percentages can
be expected to fluctuate in future periods depending upon changes in our product sales mix and
prices, distribution channels and geographies, manufacturing yields, excess and obsolete inventory
provisions, and other expenses and levels of production volume.
Selling, General and Administrative. Our selling, general, and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales totaled 55.7% in the third quarter 2008, a 4.0 percentage point decrease
from 59.7% in the third quarter of 2007. Our 2008 selling, general, and administrative expenses
include approximately $1.5 million (1.4% of net sales) of costs, primarily legal fees, associated
with the DOJ inquiry. This amount was offset by lower levels of expenses due to our restructuring
efforts in Toulon, France, lower levels of professional fees, and leveraging of fixed
administrative expenses. In addition, approximately $2.6 million and $2.9 million of non-cash,
stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the third quarter of 2008 and 2007,
respectively, representing 2.4% and 3.2% of net sales in each of the years, respectively.
We anticipate that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will increase in absolute
dollars to the extent that additional growth in net sales results in increases in sales commissions
and royalty expense associated with those sales and requires us to expand our infrastructure.
Further, in the near term, we anticipate that these expenses may increase as a percentage of net
sales as we make strategic investments in order to grow our business and as we continue to incur
expenses associated with the DOJ inquiry, which we believe may continue to be significant.
Research and Development. Our investment in research and development activities represented
approximately 7.5% of net sales in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to 7.8% of net sales in
the third quarter of 2007. Our research and development expenses include approximately $430,000
(0.4% of net sales) and $399,000 (0.4% of net sales) of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense
in the third quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our investment in research and development
increased in absolute dollars due to increased spending on product development initiatives.
We anticipate that our research and development expenditures may increase as a percentage of net
sales and will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to increase our investment in product
development initiatives and clinical studies to support regulatory approvals and provide expanded
proof of the efficacy of our products.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Charges associated with the amortization of intangible assets in
the third quarter of 2008 increased to $1.3 million from $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2007
as a result of our recent acquisitions. Based on the intangible assets held at September 30, 2008,
we expect to recognize amortization expense of approximately $5.0 million for the full year of
2008, $4.7 million in 2009, $2.2 million in 2010, $2.1 million in 2011, and $2.0 million in 2012.
Restructuring. During the third quarter of 2008, our restructuring expenses as a percentage of net
sales totaled 0.6%, compared to 7.6% during the third quarter of 2007. These charges are a result
of the closure of our Toulon, France facilities, which was announced in the second quarter of 2007.
These charges primarily included severance and termination benefits and legal and professional
fees. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our
restructuring charges.
Interest Expense (Income), Net. Interest expense (income), net, consists of interest expense of
$1.7 million and $146,000 during the third quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, primarily from
borrowings under our capital lease
17
agreements, certain of our factoring agreements, and, in 2008, our convertible debt, offset by
interest income of $1.0 million and $507,000 during the third quarter of 2008 and 2007,
respectively, generated by our invested cash balances and investments in marketable securities.
We continue to anticipate higher levels of interest expense in 2008 compared to 2007 due to our
November 2007 issuance of $200 million of convertible senior notes, which may be partially offset
by additional interest income from the portion of net proceeds which are currently invested in
interest-bearing accounts. The amounts of interest income we realize in 2008 and beyond are subject
to variability, dependent upon both the rate of invested returns we realize and the amount of
excess cash balances on hand.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded tax provisions of $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2008
as compared to a tax benefit of $634,000 in the third quarter of 2007. During the third quarter of
2008, our effective tax rate was approximately 34.8%, as compared to 29.4% in the third quarter of
2007. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2008 and 2007 included a 2.8 percentage point
and 6.5 percentage point impact, respectively, related to the discrete tax effect of restructuring
charges. Additionally, our third quarter 2008 provision does not include a benefit for the U.S.
Federal Research and Development tax credit, as it was not reinstated until October 2008. We will
include the full year impact of this benefit in our effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of
2008.

The following graphs illustrate our product line net sales as a percentage of total net sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:
Product Line Sales as a Percentage of Total Net Sales
Net Sales. Net sales totaled $345.4 million during the first nine months of 2008, representing a
22% increase over prior year, and including a favorable currency impact of $9.9 million. The
increase in net sales is attributable to growth in each of our principal product lines.
Specifically in our extremities product line, the 48% increase from prior year can be attributed to
sales of our DARCO® plating systems, which we acquired in the second quarter of 2007,
the continued success of our CHARLOTTETM Foot and Ankle system, and sales of our
INBONETM products following the acquisition in the second quarter of 2008 as well as the
impact of our other acquisitions in the past year.
In the first nine months of 2008, domestic net sales increased by 20% to $207.2 million, or 60.0%
of total net sales. International sales totaled $138.2 million, including the aforementioned
favorable currency impact of $9.9 million, representing an increase of 25%.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 28.2% in the first
nine months of 2007 to 28.7% in the first nine months of 2008. This increase is primarily
attributable to unfavorable shifts in our geographic sales mix, which was partially offset by
manufacturing efficiencies and lower levels of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development. Upon consummation of our Inbone acquisition, we
immediately recognized as expense $2.5 million in costs representing the estimated fair value of
acquired in-process research and development (IPRD) that had not yet reached technological
feasibility and had no alternative future use.
19
The value of the IPRD was determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired IPRD into
commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from this project, and
discounting the net cash flows back to their present values. The resulting net cash flows from the
project were based on our managements best estimates of revenue, cost of sales, research and
development costs, selling, general and administrative costs, and income taxes from the project. A
summary of the estimates used to calculate the net cash flows for the project is as follows:

INBONETM Calcaneal Stem Implant |

2009 |
|
|
|
18 |
% |
|
$ |
2,490,000 |
|
The INBONE Calcaneal Stem implant (Calcaneal Stem) is an implant device designed to
attach on the INBONETM Talar Dome and achieve bone implant stability by engaging the
inside of the talar bone spanning into the calcaneal bone after the two bones have been stabilized
together. We expect this device to bring increased sales to the existing Total Ankle Replacement
device. The product is complete, but it has not yet received all the necessary FDA clearances to
bring the product into a commercially viable product. Prior to the acquisition, Inbone filed a
510(k) premarket notification for the Calcaneal Stem and had received questions from the FDA.
Subsequent to the acquisition, we received additional questions. We are currently working on a new
submission that will address these questions and anticipate that we will obtain FDA clearance no
sooner than the end of 2008. We expect to pay an immaterial amount of review fees related to this
FDA clearance.
We are continuously monitoring our research and development projects. We believe that the
assumptions used in the valuation of acquired IPRD represent a reasonably reliable estimate of the
future benefits attributable to the acquired IPRD. No assurance can be given that actual results
will not deviate from those assumptions in future periods.
Operating Expenses. As a percentage of net sales, our total operating expenses decreased by 4.3
percentage points to 67.7% in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to 72.0% in the first nine
months of 2007. This decrease is due to lower restructuring expenses and stock-based compensation,
as well as expense leverage driven by increased sales, which were partially offset by IPRD, costs
associated with the DOJ inquiry, and an unfavorable appellate court ruling in the second quarter of
2008.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded tax provisions of $6.3 million and $1.2 million in the
first nine months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the first nine months of 2008, our
effective tax rate was approximately 51.6%, as compared to 152.9% in the first nine months of 2007.
The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2008 and 2007 included a 10 and 113 percentage
point impact, respectively, due to the discrete tax effect of restructuring charges, and, in 2008,
IPRD. Additionally, our 2008 provision does not include a benefit for the U.S. Federal Research and
Development tax credit, as it was reinstated in October 2008.
Seasonal Nature of Business
We traditionally experience lower sales volumes in the third quarter than throughout the rest of
the year as many of our products are used in elective procedures, which generally decline during
the summer months, typically resulting in selling, general, and administrative expenses and
research and development expenses as a percentage of sales that are higher than throughout the rest
of the year. In addition, our first quarter selling, general, and administrative expenses include
additional expenses that we incur in connection with the annual meeting held by the American
Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. This meeting, which is the largest orthopaedic meeting in the
world, features the presentation of scientific papers and instructional courses for orthopaedic
surgeons. During this 3-day event, we display our most recent and innovative products to these
surgeons.
Restructuring
In June 2007, we announced our plans to close our facilities in Toulon, France. This announcement
came after a thorough evaluation, during which it was determined that we had excess manufacturing
capacity and redundant distribution and administrative resources that would be best eliminated
through the closure of this facility. The majority of our restructuring activities were complete by
the end of 2007, resulting in production now being conducted solely in our existing manufacturing
facility in Arlington, Tennessee and the distribution activities being carried out from our
European headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We have estimated that total pre-tax
restructuring charges will be approximately $28 million to $32 million, of which we have recognized
$24.5 million through September 30, 2008. We have and believe that we will continue to see the
benefits from this restructuring
20
within selling, general and administrative expenses in 2008 and within cost of sales beginning in
2009. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our
restructuring charges.

During the first quarter of 2008, we liquidated our short-term marketable debt securities, which
had been invested in auction rate securities, into cash equivalents. During the second and third
quarters of 2008, we invested approximately $20 million into treasury bills with maturities of less
than 12 months. We have classified these marketable securities as available-for-sale.
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $9.2 million for the first nine
months of 2008, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $22.7 million for the first
nine months of 2007. The decrease in operating cash flow is primarily attributable to changes in
working capital during 2008, partially offset by increased profitability. Our inventory balance has
increased as a result of recent acquisitions and due to stock built in preparation for product
launches and to support higher levels of sales.
Investing Activities. Our capital expenditures totaled approximately $43.5 million and $23.3
million in the first nine months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is attributable to
expenditures related to the expansion of our Arlington, Tennessee facilities as well as increased
investments in surgical instrumentation. Our industry is capital intensive, particularly as it
relates to surgical instrumentation. Historically, our capital expenditures have consisted of
purchased manufacturing equipment, research and testing equipment, computer systems, office
furniture and equipment, and surgical instruments. We expect to incur capital expenditures of
approximately $40 million for 2008 for routine capital expenditures, as well as approximately $18
million for the expansion of facilities in Arlington, Tennessee.
Additionally, we invested $35.3 million in acquisitions of businesses and purchases of intellectual
property during 2008, and $20.0 million in available-for-sale marketable securities. We are
continuously evaluating opportunities to purchase technology and other forms of intellectual
property and are, therefore, unable to predict the timing of future purchases. These investments
were partially offset by the disposition of our assets held for sale associated with our facility
in Toulon, France, for $2.4 million.
Financing Activities. During the first nine months of 2008, cash provided from stock issuances
totaled $11.7 million. These proceeds were offset by $256,000 in payments related to long-term
capital leases. In addition, our operating subsidiary in Italy continues to factor portions of its
accounts receivable balances under factoring agreements, which are considered financing
transactions for financial reporting. The cash proceeds received from these factoring agreements,
net of the amount of factored receivables collected, are reflected as cash flows from financing
activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The proceeds received under
these agreements during the first nine months of 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $5.3 million
and $3.5 million, respectively. These proceeds were offset by payments for factored receivables
collected of approximately $5.7 million and $5.8 million in the first nine months of 2008 and 2007,
respectively. We recorded a $267,000 obligation under these agreements within Accrued expenses and
other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2008 compared
to $674,000 as of December 31, 2007.
On September 30, 2008, our revolving credit facility had availability of $100 million, which can be
increased by up to an additional $50 million at our request and subject to the agreement of the
lenders. We currently have no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. Borrowings under
the credit facility will bear interest at the sum of an annual base rate plus an applicable annual
rate that ranges from 0% to 1.75% depending on the type of loan and our consolidated leverage
ratio, with a current annual base rate of 5.0%. The term of the credit facility extends through
June 30, 2011.
21
During 2007, we issued $200 million of Convertible Senior Notes due 2014, which generated net
proceeds of $193.5 million. The notes pay interest semiannually at an annual rate of 2.625%. The
notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 30.6279
shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represents a conversion price of $32.65 per
share. We will make scheduled interest payments in 2008 related to the notes totaling $5.3 million.
Other Liquidity Information
We have funded our cash needs since 2000 through various equity and debt issuances and through cash
flow from operations. In 2007, we issued $200 million of Convertible Senior Notes due 2014, which
generated net proceeds totaling $193.5 million.
Although it is difficult for us to predict our future liquidity requirements, we believe that our
current cash balance of $153.4 million, our marketable securities balance of $20.1 million, our
existing available credit line of $100 million, which can be increased by up to an additional $50
million at our request and subject to the agreement of the lenders, and our expected cash flow from
our 2008 operations will be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our working capital
requirements and operations, permit anticipated capital expenditures in 2008 of $58 million, and
meet our contractual cash obligations in 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Information on judgments related to our most critical accounting policies and estimates is
discussed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Certain
of our more critical accounting estimates require the application of significant judgment by
management in selecting the appropriate assumptions in determining the estimate. By their nature,
these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We develop these judgments based
on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the
industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from other outside
sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ from these judgments under different assumptions
or conditions. Different, reasonable estimates could have been used for the current period.
Additionally, changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period.
Both of these factors could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition,
changes in financial condition or results of operations. All of our significant accounting policies
are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There have been no significant
modifications to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2007.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS 161). SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and
hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative
instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended, and
how the derivatives affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the year ending December 31, 2009. We are currently
evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 161.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS 162). This standard identifies a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for non-governmental entities. SFAS 162 is
effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and in February 2008, the
FASB amended SFAS No. 157 by issuing FASB Staff Position FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement
No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value
Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, and FSP FAS
157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (collectively SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements, except those relating to lease classification, and
22
accordingly does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial
assets and liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for non-financial
assets and liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157 for
financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 with no material impact to our
consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact the application of SFAS
157 will have on our consolidated financial statements as it relates to our non-financial assets
and liabilities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from the interest rates associated with our
invested cash balances. At September 30, 2008, we had cash and short-term marketable securities in
interest bearing investments totaling approximately $150 million. Based on this level of
investment, a change of 0.25% in interest rates would have an impact of $374,000 on our interest
income. We currently do not hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, but may do so in the
future.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could adversely
affect our financial results. Approximately 28% of our total net sales were denominated in foreign
currencies during both the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and the year ended December 31,
2007 and we expect that foreign currencies will continue to represent a similarly significant
percentage of our net sales in the future. Cost of sales related to these sales are primarily
denominated in U.S. dollars; however, operating costs related to these sales are largely
denominated in the same respective currencies, thereby partially limiting our transaction risk
exposure. However, for sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the rate at which a
foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars will require more of the foreign currency to equal a
specified amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, if we price our
products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we did before the rate
increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and our competitors price their
products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in
our prices not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency.
A substantial majority of our sales denominated in foreign currencies are derived from European
Union countries and are denominated in the euro. Additionally, we have significant intercompany
receivables from our foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in foreign currencies, principally
the euro and the Japanese yen. Our principal exchange rate risk therefore exists between the U.S.
dollar and the euro and between the U.S. dollar and the yen. Fluctuations from the beginning to the
end of any given reporting period result in the revaluation of our foreign currency-denominated
intercompany receivables and payables, generating currency translation gains or losses that impact
our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, we enter into certain short-term derivative
financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts. These forward contracts
are designed to mitigate our exposure to currency fluctuations in our intercompany balances
denominated in euros, Japanese yen, British pounds, and Canadian dollars. Any change in the fair
value of these forward contracts as a result of a fluctuation in a currency exchange rate is
expected to be offset by a change in the value of the intercompany balance.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made
known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within our
organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008. Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008 to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, there were no significant changes in our internal
control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we are subject to lawsuits and claims that arise out of our operations in the
normal course of business. We are the plaintiff or defendant in various litigation matters in the
ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in
amount. We believe that the disposition of claims currently pending, including the matter discussed
below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or ongoing results of
operations.
Howmedica Osteonics Corp. v. Wright Medical Technology, Inc.
In 2000, Howmedica Osteonics Corp. (Howmedica), a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation, filed a
lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that
we infringed Howmedicas U.S. Patent No. 5,824,100 related to our ADVANCE® knee product
line. The lawsuit seeks an order of infringement, injunctive relief, unspecified damages and
various other costs and relief and could impact a substantial portion of our knee product line. We
believe, however, that we have strong defenses against Howmedicas claims and are vigorously
defending this lawsuit. In November 2005, the District Court issued a Markman ruling on claim
construction. Howmedica conceded to the District Court that, if the claim construction as issued
was applied to our knee product line, our products do not infringe their patent. Howmedica appealed
the Markman ruling. In September 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit overturned
the District Courts Markman ruling on claim construction. The case will be remanded to the
District Court for further proceedings on alleged infringement and on our affirmative defenses,
which include patent invalidity and unenforceability. Management is unable to estimate the
potential liability, if any, with respect to the claims and accordingly, no provision has been made
for this contingency as of September 30, 2008. These claims are covered in part by our patent
infringement insurance. Management does not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
The risk factors presented below update, and should be considered in addition to, the risk factors
previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007:
Recent turmoil in the credit markets and the financial services industry may negatively impact our
business.
Recently, the credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of
unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of
various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States
federal government. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, they may have
an adverse effect on our customers ability to borrow money from their existing lenders or to
obtain credit from other sources to purchase our products. In addition, the recent economic crisis
could also adversely impact our suppliers ability to provide us with materials and components,
either of which may negatively impact our business.
