PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
This Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward looking statements
regarding future events with respect to the Company. Actual events or results
may differ materially as a result of the factors described herein, including, in
particular, those factors described under "Additional Risk Factors" and in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Imagyn designs, develops and markets micro-invasive, cost-effective devices
for diagnosis and treatment of gynecological and reproductive disorders. The
Company's proprietary technology platform based on micro-optics and micro-access
devices provides physicians with the ability to automatically access and
visualize the abdominal cavity, the uterus and the fallopian tubes. Imagyn's
proprietary micro-optics enable physicians to visualize a patient's internal
anatomy with the resolution and light efficiency of larger, more invasive
devices commonly used today. Imagyn's proprietary, disposable micro-access
devices enable physicians to perform certain procedures outside the hospital
without the need for general anesthesia. The Company's principal product systems
based on these core technologies are the MicroLap microlaparoscopy system, the
MicroSpan microhysteroscopy system and the Ovation systems for infertility
indications. Compared to traditional procedures, the Company's product systems
facilitate earlier definitive diagnosis and treatment, significantly lower the
procedure cost associated with more invasive surgery and reduce patient
discomfort, recovery time and morbidity.
Imagyn's diagnostic and operative micro-invasive product systems address a
broad continuum of gynecological and reproductive disorders affecting a large
number of women, including pelvic pain, uterine disorders and infertility, and
provide a less invasive procedure for tubal sterilization. Because of the high
incidence of these disorders and the popularity of tubal sterilization as a
contraceptive method, large markets exist for devices that treat such disorders
and that facilitate tubal sterilization. First, pelvic pain affects
approximately 6 million women in the United States and can be caused by a number
of serious conditions, including endometriosis, adhesions and pelvic
inflammatory disease. Second, uterine disorders affect approximately 25 million
women in the United States and may lead to significant complications including
uterine bleeding, acute pain and infertility. Third, infertility is an
increasingly common and often emotionally traumatic condition which affects
approximately 5 million women in the United States. Finally, tubal sterilization
is chosen as a permanent contraceptive method by approximately 800,000 women
annually in the United States. Despite the large size of these markets, there
can be no assurance that the Company's product systems will be accepted and will
compete effectively in any of these markets. Market acceptance of the Company's
product systems will be dependent upon, among other things, physicians'
determinations that the Company's product systems and the procedures in which
they are intended to be used are safe and effective alternatives to current
hospital-based procedures and demonstrate clinical utility, and can be used in a
cost-effective manner.
The Company's product systems enable physicians to access and visualize all
of the organs of a woman's reproductive system outside the hospital without the
need for general anesthesia. The MicroLap system, which enables the physician to
access the abdominal cavity without the need for post-operative sutures,
includes a 2 millimeter-diameter microlaparoscope with resolution and light
efficiency characteristics which the Company believes are comparable to those of
standard 10 millimeter-diameter laparoscopes. The MicroSpan system incorporates
a new, high resolution microhysteroscope and a new uterine access device to
enable the physician to automatically access and visualize the interior of the
uterus. The MicroLap and MicroSpan systems enable physicians to access the
abdominal cavity and the uterus for treatment with the Company's microsurgical
instruments. The Ovation systems are designed to enable the physician to
automatically access, navigate and visualize the entire length of the fallopian
tubes. Imagyn's product systems are designed to offer significant advantages for
physicians, patients and health care payors. For physicians, Imagyn's systems
facilitate improved diagnosis and enhanced practice management. The Company
believes that the MicroLap and MicroSpan systems require limited training for
physicians familiar with standard laparoscopy and hysteroscopy techniques,
although more training will be required
1
<PAGE>
for use of the Ovation systems. For patients, Imagyn's systems reduce trauma and
the risk of complications and shorten recovery times as compared to traditional,
more invasive procedures. For payors, Imagyn's systems can reduce cost, provide
earlier, definitive diagnosis and increase patient satisfaction.
THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The female reproductive system includes the uterus, the fallopian tubes and
the ovaries. The uterus is a pear-shaped organ connected to the fallopian tubes
and to the vagina. The interior wall of the uterus consists of a layer of soft,
spongy tissue called the endometrium. The base or neck of the uterus is called
the cervix, which serves as the point of exit and entry from the vagina to the
uterus. Under normal conditions, the cervix is virtually closed (less than one
millimeter in diameter), providing a natural barrier between the vagina and the
uterus. Because the cervix is extremely sensitive, especially to any dilation,
access through the cervix into the uterine cavity for diagnostic and operative
procedures can be difficult and extremely painful.
On each side of the uterus is a fallopian tube, which extends outward toward
the ovaries. The junction of the uterus and each fallopian tube is called an
ostium. The fallopian tube is the channel through which the egg enters the
uterus during the monthly menstrual cycle. It is also the conduit for sperm to
reach the egg and is the site where fertilization occurs. Fallopian tubes are
long and narrow, contain many folds, and are fragile and delicate. The fallopian
tubes are lined with epithelial cells whose ciliary motion assists the sperm and
egg in their migration. Each fallopian tube is 7-14 centimeters long and only
1-3 millimeters in diameter. The fallopian tubes may become blocked or diseased,
preventing conception.
Disorders of the female reproductive system include pelvic pain and related
disorders, uterine disorders and infertility.
PELVIC PAIN AND RELATED DISORDERS
The prevalence of pelvic pain in women is widespread, with approximately 7
million outpatient gynecology visits annually in the United States related to
symptoms of pelvic pain. Pelvic pain can often be intense and persistent and can
severely impair a woman's health and lifestyle. It is often difficult to
accurately isolate the location and diagnose the cause of discomfort since many
women with pelvic pain may suffer from several disorders or multiple disease
sites. For example, scar tissue from infection or prior surgery may mask
endometrial lesions which may lead a physician to an inaccurate or incomplete
diagnosis. Pelvic pain, in both acute and chronic forms, can be caused by a
number of serious conditions including endometriosis, adhesions and pelvic
inflammatory disease.
Endometriosis, a common cause of pelvic pain and also a significant factor
contributing to infertility, is a disorder in which abnormal growths of
endometrial tissue are present outside of the uterus. Endometrial lesions are
usually found on the reproductive organs and adjacent tissues in the pelvic
cavity. It is estimated that 5 million women suffer from endometriosis in the
United States. Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological causes for
hospitalization of women of reproductive age.
Scar tissue, or pelvic adhesions, which can form as a result of
endometriosis, infection, prior surgery, hemorrhage or tissue injury, is another
common cause of pelvic pain. Pelvic adhesions form in the healing process of
more than half of abdominal surgeries. Early intervention after surgery has been
demonstrated to reduce the risk of formation of dense, permanent adhesions.
Pelvic adhesions can also lead to serious long-term complications such as
infertility and intestinal obstruction. Post-operative adhesions may affect up
to 2 million women in the United States.
Pelvic inflammatory disease, another common cause of pelvic pain, is a
genital tract infection that is often a complication of sexually transmitted
diseases. It can cause scarring of the fallopian tubes as the infection ascends
into the uterus and tubal structures. In its most serious form, it can lead to
infertility and ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, a life-threatening condition. It is
estimated that pelvic inflammatory disease affects more than 1 million women
each year in the United States.

CURRENT DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Diagnosis and identification of the cause or causes of pelvic pain is
difficult. Since there are currently no accurate non-invasive diagnostic tests
available, visual inspection of the abdomen and pelvic cavity by means of
laparoscopic surgery is the current method of choice for diagnosing pelvic pain.
In a traditional laparoscopic surgery procedure, the patient is typically placed
under general anesthesia. In order to create a space between the abdominal wall
and the internal organs to facilitate the insertion of instruments, the
patient's abdomen is insufflated, or inflated, with a significant quantity of
carbon dioxide gas delivered through a specialized needle, known as a Veress
needle. After the patient is properly insufflated, two to three punctures, each
of which can be up to 10 millimeters in diameter, are made with a sharp,
spike-like device called a trocar. A cannula, a hollow, sleeve-like device, is
then placed in the puncture opening. A laparoscope is placed into the abdomen
through one of the cannulas to enable the gynecologist to view the outer
surfaces of the patient's internal organs. Surgical instruments can be inserted
through cannulas placed at the other trocar puncture sites. Following the
procedure, the trocar sites must be closed with sutures and the patient may
require significant recovery time due to the effects of the puncture wounds, gas
insufflation and general anesthesia. Approximately 1 million laparoscopic
surgeries are performed annually by gynecologists in the United States.
During a traditional laparoscopic surgery procedure, the physician examines
the internal abdominal organs in an attempt to locate abnormalities which may be
causing pelvic pain. The physician may also use surgical instruments inserted
into the abdomen to treat some abnormalities, such as by removing adhesions, or
to biopsy (remove a sample of) tissue for subsequent laboratory evaluation. The
administration of general anesthesia during the procedure complicates the
determination of the exact cause of pelvic pain because the anesthetized patient
is unable to provide any feedback to the physician.
THE IMAGYN MICROLAP SYSTEM FOR PELVIC PAIN
Imagyn's proprietary MicroLap system is designed to enable the physician to
perform laparoscopic procedures outside the hospital. The MicroLap system
includes the proprietary MicroLap microlaparoscope, a specialized disposable
introducer for placement of the microlaparoscope into the abdomen and a broad
line of microsurgical instruments. The 2 millimeter-diameter MicroLap has
resolution and light efficiency characteristics which the Company believes are
comparable to those of standard 10 millimeter-diameter laparoscopes. The
MicroLap is attached to a light source and medical video camera, allowing the
physician to visually examine the interior of the pelvic cavity in a manner
similar to that of traditional laparoscopic procedures.
In contrast to the traditional laparoscopic surgery procedure, the patient
in a microlaparoscopic procedure is not placed under general anesthesia.
Instead, sedation and local analgesic protocols are used to achieve a level of
sedation commonly termed "conscious sedation." An introducer is inserted into
the patient's abdomen, carrying the Veress needle and providing access to the
abdominal cavity. The patient's abdomen is then partially insufflated to permit
visualization and the insertion of instruments, but with a much smaller quantity
of carbon dioxide gas than is required in traditional laparoscopy. After the
patient is properly insufflated, the Veress needle is withdrawn and the
introducer is kept in place, providing access to the abdominal cavity without
the need for trocar punctures. The MicroLap is then inserted through the
introducer into the abdomen, allowing the physician to visually examine the
abdominal organs, in a manner similar to traditional laparoscopy. The small size
of the MicroLap requires only the very small puncture created by the introducer
to insert the MicroLap into the abdomen. Additional introducer sites may be
created for the insertion of microsurgical instruments. Sutures are not required
to close these small puncture sites, significantly reducing post-surgical
complications due to bleeding and pain at the puncture sites. This combination
of very small diameter puncture sites and the reduced requirement for gas
insufflation enables microlaparoscopic procedures to be performed using the
MicroLap system under conscious sedation rather than general anesthesia. Using
conscious sedation and the MicroLap system, physicians have been able to perform
a wide variety of diagnostic and operative procedures in a surgery
3
<PAGE>
center, office or clinic at a significantly reduced cost and with less patient
discomfort and a typical recovery time of approximately one day.
Additionally, because microlaparoscopy does not require general anesthesia,
the MicroLap system has enabled the development of "conscious pain mapping," a
new diagnostic method for pinpointing the cause of pelvic pain which is
performed while the patient is awake. Through the use of microlaparoscopy and
regional anesthesia, the physician systematically probes the inside of the
woman's pelvis to identify the exact source and location of the pain with the
assistance of feedback from the patient. The Company believes that "conscious
pain mapping" procedures using the MicroLap will significantly improve the
diagnosis and treatment of pelvic pain.
Studies indicate that diagnostic laparoscopy procedures performed using the
MicroLap system cost approximately $1,250, as compared to the approximately
$5,000 to $7,000 cost of a traditional hospital-based laparoscopic procedure
performed under general anesthesia.
UTERINE DISORDERS
The uterus is prone to a number of common disorders including fibroids and
polyps, as well as endometrial cancer, each of which can lead to serious
complications including abnormal uterine bleeding, significant pain and
infertility. Women may experience one or more of these disorders at the same
time. Industry sources estimate that approximately 9% to 14% of menstruating
women experience abnormal uterine bleeding that prompts them to seek medical
attention at some time in their lives. In 1995, there were approximately 13
million visits to gynecologists for abnormal uterine bleeding in the United
States.
Fibroids, or benign muscular tumors, are among the most common causes of
abnormal uterine bleeding. Fibroids usually grow during the reproductive years
and can produce a variety of problems including hemorrhage, pain and
infertility. Although not all of the approximately 15 million women in the
United States suffering from fibroids are symptomatic, it is estimated that 35%
to 50% of all women with fibroids have symptoms that are serious enough to lead
them to seek medical attention.
Polyps, benign finger-like protrusions of tissue extending into the uterine
cavity, are also a common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. Approximately 13
million women in the United States develop uterine polyps during their lifetime,
and approximately 25% of these women require medical attention.
Endometrial cancer may also present initially as abnormal uterine bleeding,
particularly in women over the age of 50. Approximately 31,000 new cases of
endometrial cancer were reported in the United States in 1994. Early and
accurate diagnosis is critically important because endometrial cancer can often
be cured if detected and treated at an early stage; however, if undetected and
untreated, endometrial cancer can lead to serious complications or death.
CURRENT DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Definitive diagnosis of uterine disorders requires direct visual inspection
of the uterine cavity and tissue biopsy of suspicious areas. The standard
procedures for collecting an adequate biopsy sample of uterine tissue for
diagnosis are dilatation and curettage ("D&C") and hysteroscopy. D&C is a blind
procedure in which the physician dilates the cervix, places a surgical scraping
device, known as a curette, into the uterus and scrapes the uterine lining to
remove tissue for examination by a pathologist. Because D&C is performed without
visual guidance, it is difficult for the physician to sample the entire uterine
lining and, as a result, significant abnormalities may be missed. It is
estimated that, in most cases, approximately half of the uterine cavity is
actually sampled and as many as 30% of lesions may be missed. D&C is usually
performed in a hospital under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The
procedure can lead to a number of serious complications including hemorrhage,
infection and perforation and scarring of the uterus. An estimated 500,000
diagnostic D&C procedures are performed annually in the United States.
4
<PAGE>
The need to visualize the uterus for accurate diagnosis of uterine disorders
led to the development of hysteroscopy. In traditional hysteroscopy, the
physician dilates the patient's cervix and inserts a device known as a
hysteroscope through the cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope is attached to
a light source and camera allowing the physician to visually examine the uterine
lining. The physician can also introduce surgical instruments through the cervix
to selectively sample or remove suspicious lesions. Introducer sheaths used in
current hysteroscopy procedures, which accommodate both the hysteroscope and
surgical instruments, range in size from approximately 5 to 7 millimeters. The
cervical dilation necessitated by the diameter of these devices can result in
significant pain and discomfort for the patient. Hysteroscopy has historically
been performed in the hospital under general anesthesia. Industry sources
estimate that approximately 500,000 hysteroscopic procedures are performed
annually in the United States.
Current treatments for uterine disorders include various drug therapies and
surgical approaches. Treatment of uterine bleeding usually begins with drug
therapy and, if necessary, proceeds to more invasive surgical methods. Current
surgical procedures for abnormal uterine bleeding include D&C, hysterectomy,
myomectomy (fibroid removal by open surgery), endometrial resection, and
endometrial ablation (coagulation of the endometrium).
THE IMAGYN MICROSPAN SYSTEM FOR UTERINE DISORDERS
Imagyn's diagnostic and operative MicroSpan microhysteroscopy system is
designed specifically for use outside the hospital. The Company's new
proprietary uterine access device enables the physician to automatically access
the uterus without the need for cervical dilation. Once positioned, the
micro-access device, with its very low profile, will permit the simultaneous use
of the microhysteroscope and the Company's specialty diagnostic and operative
microsurgical instruments.
Without the need for painful dilation of the cervix prior to insertion of
the device, the patient can remain comfortable with only local anesthesia.
Microhysteroscopy can be performed in a low-stress environment such as the
physician's office and the patient will typically require only a short
post-operative recovery period, in some cases as little as 30 minutes. Patients
can usually resume normal activities by the following day.
For the physician, the MicroSpan system reduces the amount of time required
for procedures and provides the flexibility to perform both diagnostic and
operative procedures in the office. The MicroSpan system provides high
resolution and light efficiency comparable to traditional, large diameter
hysteroscopes. The design of the Company's proprietary micro-access device will
enable the physician to use surgical instruments of the same diameter used in
standard hysteroscopy procedures for effective tissue sampling and removal of
many uterine lesions including adhesions, polyps and small fibroids. The ability
to use such effective surgical instruments in conjunction with the
microhysteroscope will allow physicians to treat many uterine disorders with
accurate micro-invasive procedures, thus reducing the need for more invasive
surgical procedures.
Industry sources estimate that the cost of a D&C procedure under general
anesthesia is approximately $2,400 to $3,000. The Company estimates that the
cost of a standard hysteroscopy procedure under general anesthesia is
approximately $2,600 to $3,500 and that an office-based microhysteroscopy
procedure will cost approximately $650 to $1,000.
INFERTILITY
Infertility is one of the most common and emotionally traumatic of
reproductive disorders. Female infertility appears to be increasing because of
both the increase in diseases which damage the fallopian tubes and the
increasing tendency of women to defer childbearing until later in life when
fertility begins to decline naturally. In general, couples who have not
conceived after one year of unprotected intercourse are considered infertile. In
the United States, recent government data estimates that approximately 5 million
women of child-bearing age suffer from an impaired ability to have children.
Despite the limited
5
<PAGE>
availability of reimbursement for infertility diagnosis and assisted
reproductive procedures such as intrauterine insemination and in-vitro
fertilization, approximately $2 billion is spent on the treatment of infertility
annually in the United States.
The causes of infertility can be complex and are often difficult to
identify. A recent study indicates that abnormalities of the fallopian tubes are
responsible for 30% to 50% of infertility cases. The fallopian tubes are the
sites where fertilization occurs and at least one fallopian tube must be open to
permit the passage of sperm to provide fertilization of the egg and enable the
fertilized egg to pass to the uterus. The fallopian tubes are very narrow and
tortuous, delicate and difficult to access. As a result, they do not lend
themselves to easy study and treatment. Current non-surgical techniques for
diagnosing and treating fallopian tube disorders often do not adequately or
accurately delineate the nature, extent and location of tubal pathology.
CURRENT DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Currently, there are two diagnostic procedures utilized by physicians to
determine whether the fallopian tubes are patent (open) or occluded. The most
commonly performed diagnostic procedure is hysterosalpingography ("HSG"), which
involves the high-pressure injection of an x-ray contrast medium (or dye)
transcervically into the uterus to allow the physician to observe and evaluate
the flow of dye through the fallopian tubes under x-ray fluoroscopy. This
procedure is often painful, primarily due to the high-pressure injection
process, and is also highly inaccurate, with as many as 25% of HSG cases being
inaccurately classified as blocked (false positive). Nevertheless, due in part
to the absence of more accurate, non-invasive diagnostic techniques, over
200,000 HSGs are performed annually in the United States.
Due to the frequent inaccuracy of HSG, in the event that an HSG indicates a
blockage of the fallopian tube, the physician will likely perform an additional
procedure, known as laparoscopic chromopertubation. This procedure is similar to
HSG, but involves the use of a laparoscope surgically positioned in the abdomen
to observe the flow of transcervically-injected dye through the fallopian tubes.
This procedure has a lower rate (12%) of false positive diagnoses of tubal
blockage, but involves the potential complications associated with the more
invasive laparoscopic surgical procedure. The Company estimates that there are
approximately 180,000 chromopertubations performed annually in the United
States.
Although HSG and laparoscopic chromopertubation can provide some diagnostic
information regarding the patency of fallopian tubes, these procedures do not
provide any information regarding the health of the interior of the fallopian
tubes, which can be a significant factor contributing to infertility. Recently,
a procedure known as falloposcopy has been developed, in which a catheter device
containing a visualization scope is inserted through the cervix into the
fallopian tubes to enable the physician to visualize the interior of the
fallopian tube. One such system uses a guidewire-based catheter device in
conjunction with other procedures, such as laparoscopy, hysteroscopy or
ultrasound, to assist in guiding the catheter into and through the fallopian
tubes. Because falloposcopy enables the physician to visualize the interior of
the fallopian tube and assess its health, use of falloposcopy can enable
physicians to make more informed recommendations to patients regarding the next
course of action. Such courses of action could include tubal surgery, assisted
reproductive techniques such as in-vitro fertilization or further attempts at
natural conception.
Several surgical approaches are currently used to address infertility. These
procedures include laparotomy, or open abdominal surgery, and laparoscopic
surgery. Both of these procedures are performed in the hospital under general
anesthesia and, as a result, involve several risks, including infection. In
addition, the recovery period is long, extending to many weeks for patients
undergoing laparotomy. Furthermore, the effectiveness of these procedures is
limited as pregnancy is achieved in only approximately 20% to 25% of surgical
cases. As a result of the invasiveness and limited efficacy of these procedures,
few such procedures are performed in the United States and there is no
well-accepted method for opening blocked fallopian tubes.
6
<PAGE>
Consequently, rather than undergo tubal surgery, many patients attempt
in-vitro fertilization. In-vitro fertilization involves drug-induced
superovulation, harvesting of multiple eggs through an aspiration needle
inserted into the ovary and fertilization of the harvested eggs with semen in a
laboratory test-tube fertilization procedure. Embryos are then transferred into
the uterus using a catheter placed through the cervix. In-vitro fertilization is
costly, with a single harvest and transfer, known as a cycle, costing an average
of $7,800, and is generally not reimbursed by third-party payors. Furthermore,
many patients undergo multiple cycles. The drugs administered to induce
superovulation are powerful and can have significant side effects. Finally, the
success rates for in-vitro fertilization are low. However, notwithstanding the
cost, lack of reimbursement, need to administer powerful drugs and limited
efficacy, approximately 38,000 in-vitro fertilization procedures are performed
annually in the United States.
THE IMAGYN OVATION SYSTEMS
Imagyn's Ovation falloposcopy system and Ovation tubal recanalization system
are designed to enable the physician to access, navigate and view the entire
length of the fallopian tube using a flexible catheter and small scope. Unlike
HSG and chromopertubation, the Ovation falloposcopy system enables the physician
to view and accurately evaluate the patency and overall health of the interior
of the fallopian tube. Due to the unique self-steering characteristics of the
Ovation falloposcopy and tubal recanalization systems, visual guidance with
hysteroscopy or ultrasound, which is required with other falloposcopy systems,
is not required nor is there the need for concurrent laparoscopic manipulation
of the fallopian tube. The Ovation falloposcopy system has been specifically
designed to facilitate fallopian tube diagnosis in the physician's office.
The Ovation tubal recanalization system has been shown in a controlled,
multi-center clinical trial in Japan to unblock occluded fallopian tubes. The
Company has received approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare
to market the Ovation tubal recanalization system for fallopian tube
recanalization.
The Company has developed a modified version of the Ovation system for use
in intrauterine insemination ("IUI"), a procedure in which sperm are introduced
into the uterine cavity. The Ovation IUI system permits the traversal of the
cervix for the purpose of delivering sperm into the uterine cavity without
trauma to the delicate lining of the uterus in those cases in which the cervix
is very narrow and difficult to access.
TUBAL STERILIZATION
Tubal ligation, a procedure for fallopian tube sterilization, involves
surgically cutting and cauterizing the fallopian tubes. Tubal ligation is chosen
as a permanent contraceptive method by approximately 800,000 women annually in
the United States.
CURRENT TUBAL LIGATION PROCEDURE
Tubal ligation is most commonly performed in the hospital, under general
anesthesia, by means of traditional laparoscopic surgery in which surgical
devices are used to isolate and close the fallopian tube. Current tubal ligation
procedures require multiple large trocar punctures which must be sutured closed
at the conclusion of the procedure, gas insufflation to inflate the pelvic
cavity and general anesthesia. Patients are subjected to pain associated with
the trocar punctures and gas insufflation as well as the risks and possible
complications associated with general anesthesia.
THE IMAGYN MICROLAP SYSTEM FOR TUBAL STERILIZATION
The MicroLap system enables physicians to visualize the performance of tubal
sterilization outside the hospital under conscious sedation, reducing procedure
time and cost, as well as recovery time and patient discomfort. A recently
published study has indicated that office-based tubal ligation can reduce the
cost of
7
<PAGE>
the procedure to approximately $1,000, as compared to the approximately $6,000
to $8,000 cost of a hospital-based tubal ligation procedure.
ADVANTAGES OF IMAGYN'S PRODUCT SYSTEMS
Imagyn's product systems enable the micro-invasive diagnosis and treatment
of a broad continuum of gynecological and reproductive disorders outside the
hospital, thereby reducing the cost, trauma and complications associated with
operating room procedures. Imagyn's product systems have been designed to meet
the needs of physicians, patients and payors.

- IMPROVED DIAGNOSIS.--Imagyn's product systems provide physicians with the
necessary visualization and access to facilitate more accurate diagnosis of
gynecological and reproductive disorders. For example, the Ovation falloposcopy
system is designed to allow physicians to view and accurately evaluate the
patency and overall health of the interior of the fallopian tubes.
- MINIMAL TRAINING THRESHOLD.--Imagyn believes that the MicroLap and
MicroSpan product systems require only minimal training for physicians. For
example, physicians using the MicroLap will employ the same procedural
techniques as are used in traditional laparoscopy. Because falloposcopy is a
relatively new procedure, more training will be required for use of the Ovation
falloposcopy system.
- ENHANCED PRACTICE MANAGEMENT.--Imagyn's product systems are designed to
be used in the office and with reduced procedure time, resulting in increased
physicians' practice productivity. For example, the Company believes that the
procedure using the MicroLap system outside the hospital takes one-half to
one-third the time required for traditional diagnostic laparoscopy in an
operating room.
ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS
- REDUCED TRAUMA.--Imagyn's small profile product systems reduce access
trauma, thereby reducing pain and the number and size of puncture wounds. For
example, due to the small size of the MicroLap, only very small punctures are
required to insert it into the abdomen and sutures are not required to close the
puncture sites.
- FEWER COMPLICATIONS.--Imagyn's product systems are designed to be used
without general anesthesia, enabling patients to avoid many of the risks and
complications associated with current invasive procedures. For example, the
small diameter of the MicroSpan system eliminates the need for dilation of the
cervix so the patient will remain comfortable with only local anesthesia,
thereby avoiding complications of general anesthesia such as allergic reaction,
pneumonia, nausea, and respiratory depression.
- FASTER RECOVERY.--Imagyn's product systems generally enable patients to
return to normal activities within a 24-hour period following a procedure. For
example, a patient undergoing a MicroLap procedure can generally resume normal
activities the next day, while several days of recuperation are often necessary
for women undergoing traditional laparoscopy.
ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF PAYORS
- LOWER COST.--Imagyn's product systems can deliver significant cost
savings to all payors by moving procedures from the hospital to offices, clinics
and outpatient settings, eliminating the need for general anesthesia, and
reducing the potential for costly complications. For example, the MicroLap
system has been shown to reduce costs for diagnostic laparoscopy by as much as
80% when performed in a physician's office rather than a hospital.
8
<PAGE>
- EARLIER, DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS.--Imagyn's product systems facilitate
earlier, definitive diagnosis, reducing the likelihood that costly diagnostic
procedures will need to be repeated and that unnecessary operative procedures
will be performed. For example, the MicroLap system can be used to perform
"conscious pain mapping" to accurately identify the sources of pelvic pain
thereby eliminating the need for further diagnostic or unnecessary operative
procedures or expensive drug therapies.
- HIGHER PATIENT SATISFACTION.--Imagyn's product systems provide
time-efficient and micro-invasive care. The Company believes that patients will
be drawn to those providers who can reduce recovery time and risk through the
adoption of micro-invasive procedures.
The MicroLap system, the MicroSpan system and the Ovation system represent
new approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological and reproductive
disorders and for tubal sterilization. Market acceptance of the MicroLap system,
the MicroSpan system and the Ovation systems will be dependent upon, among other
things, physicians' determinations that the Company's product systems and the
procedures in which they are intended to be used are safe and effective
alternatives to current hospital-based procedures and demonstrate clinical
utility, and can be used in a cost-effective manner. In addition, due to the
small size of the Company's micro-access devices, the Company's product systems
are generally not appropriate for use in procedures which involve the removal of
substantial amounts of tissue or organs, such as the laparoscopic removal of the
gall bladder. In addition, procedures using the Company's product systems should
be avoided with patients who have a heightened risk of uncontrollable bleeding,
are pregnant, have advanced cardiovascular disease or are excessively obese.

MICROLAP SYSTEM
The MicroLap system includes a proprietary microlaparoscope, the MicroLap,
disposable introducers (for placement of the MicroLap and microsurgical
instruments into the abdomen) and a broad line of microsurgical instruments for
use with the system. The MicroLap is a reusable laparoscope which, at slightly
less than 2 millimeters in diameter, is 80% smaller than conventional 10
millimeter-diameter laparoscopes. The Company's proprietary micro-optics
technology has enabled the development of small-diameter laparoscopes having
resolution and light efficiency characteristics which the Company believes are
comparable to those of conventional laparoscopes of much larger diameter. By
combining unique micro-lens design with fused image fiber bundle technology, the
Company has achieved up to five times the illumination and up to three times the
resolution of similar sized microlaparoscopes. Additionally, the Company's
optics design provides consistent and uniform edge-to-edge focus. Despite its
small size, the MicroLap is as durable as traditional rod or fixed lens
laparoscopes due to its fiber optic construction. The MicroLap is designed to be
utilized by physicians in a manner similar to larger laparoscopes. The MicroLap
is compatible with all existing medical video cameras and light sources and does
not require any additional specialized or ancillary equipment for its use.
Imagyn's disposable introducers facilitate atraumatic insertion and secure
placement of the MicroLap and microsurgical instruments through the abdominal
wall. The introducer is designed to be placed through the abdominal wall in a
single step with a standard Veress needle and without the need for a trocar or a
separate puncture site for insufflation. The introducer's anchoring system
prevents inadvertent withdrawal during the procedure and allows the introducer
to be pulled up tightly against the interior wall of the abdomen, thereby
providing maximum working area in the abdomen. The introducer incorporates a
side port for gas insufflation and a one-way check valve to prevent gas leakage.
Typically, several introducers are used during a microlaparoscopy procedure, one
for the MicroLap and others to permit the insertion of microsurgical
instruments.
The Company has also designed a broad line of stainless steel, reusable
microsurgical instruments, all of which are 2 millimeters in diameter and
compatible with the MicroLap introducer. The Company's current line of
microsurgical instruments includes several graspers and scissors, a biopsy punch
for tissue sampling, irrigation and aspiration cannulae, palpation probes and
monopolar electrocautery probes for the cauterization and removal of small
endometrial lesions and adhesions.
CLINICAL AND REGULATORY STATUS.
The Company has received 510(k) marketing clearances for the MicroLap
microlaparoscope, MicroLap introducer and a variety of microsurgical instruments
for general laparoscopic procedures. USSC, which has exclusive distribution
rights in international markets (excluding China and India), has responsibility
for individual regulatory approvals in those markets.
MICROSPAN SYSTEM
The MicroSpan system is comprised of a microhysteroscope, a proprietary
disposable micro-access device and a line of microsurgical instruments. Because
the microhysteroscope utilizes the proprietary micro-optic technology used in
the MicroLap, it is significantly smaller than current rod, or fixed, lens
hysteroscopes. The disposable micro-access device provides simultaneous
transcervical access to the uterus for both the microhysteroscope and
microsurgical instruments without the need for the cervical dilation required by
currently available hysteroscopy systems. Imagyn has also designed a line of
reusable hysteroscopic microsurgical instruments to be used with the MicroSpan
system. These instruments include several graspers and scissors, a biopsy punch
for tissue sampling, palpation probes and monopolar electrocautery probes for
the cauterization and removal of small fibroids, polyps and adhesions. The
MicroSpan system is compatible with all existing medical video cameras and light
sources and does not require any additional specialized or ancillary equipment
for its use.
10
<PAGE>
CLINICAL AND REGULATORY STATUS.
The Company has received 510(k) marketing clearances for the MicroSpan
microhysteroscope and microhysteroscopic micro-access devices. The Company plans
to seek regulatory approval in those countries outside the United States in
which it intends to sell these products. There can be no assurance as to when or
whether such approvals will be received.
OVATION SYSTEMS
Imagyn has developed the Ovation falloposcopy system for falloposcopy, the
Ovation tubal recanalization system for tubal recanalization and the Ovation IUI
system for intrauterine insemination. The Ovation falloposcopy and tubal
recanalization systems consist of a proprietary 0.5 millimeter diameter,
flexible falloposcope, a proprietary catheter, and a specially designed
irrigation pump. The linear everting catheter is designed to enable the
physician to access, navigate and view the entire length of the fallopian tube
and incorporates three elements: an inner delivery catheter, an outer catheter
and an everting balloon membrane. A sliding mandrel straightens and stiffens the
catheter tip for placement through a non-dilated cervix and an integral
falloposcope controller provides one-finger control of the advancement and
withdrawal of the falloposcope. The linear everting catheter's curved ball tip
is designed to enable the catheter to atraumatically engage the tubal ostium,
facilitating unguided access to the fallopian tubes from within the uterus. The
combination of these elements in a single device, together with the linear
everting catheter's unique "unrolling" design, allows for complete fallopian
tube access and visualization without the need for concurrent laparoscopic
guidance or hysteroscopic placement through the cervix, and without the need for
ancillary devices, such as guidewires for accessing the fallopian tubes. The
Ovation falloposcopy and tubal recanalization systems are compatible with all
existing medical video cameras and light sources and does not require any
additional specialized or ancillary equipment for its use.
After the catheter tip is placed through the cervix, the tip is rotated
toward either the right or left fallopian tube to engage the tubal ostium. Fluid
pressure is applied to the everting balloon membrane by means of an inflation
device and, in combination with the manual advancement of the inner delivery
catheter, propels the everting balloon membrane forward into the fallopian tube.
As the balloon membrane gently unrolls from the inside out, it carries the
falloposcope forward without exerting any shear force against the delicate
lining of the fallopian tube. In contrast to guidewire-based catheter access
systems, the linear everting catheter's unique unrolling mechanism enables it to
traverse the tortuous tubal anatomy without the need to push guidewires through
the fallopian tube or independently manipulate the fallopian tube with
laparoscopic or other ancillary assistance. Once the Ovation system is
positioned, it is designed to enable the physician is to view the entire length
of the fallopian tube as the catheter and falloposcope are withdrawn by
rerolling the catheter's everting balloon membrane.
The Ovation IUI system is a modified catheter that incorporates the
Company's linear everting catheter technology for IUI, a procedure in which
sperm are introduced into the uterine cavity. The Ovation IUI system permits
traversal of the cervix in those cases in which the cervix is very narrow and
difficult to access without trauma to the delicate lining of the uterus.
Following placement of the Ovation IUI system through the cervix, the everting
balloon membrane is unrolled a pre-set distance into the uterus. A transfer or
delivery catheter containing sperm is placed through the central channel of the
catheter and the balloon membrane is slowly peeled back, exposing the tip of the
transfer catheter. The sperm are then expelled into the uterine cavity.
CLINICAL AND REGULATORY STATUS.
In August 1995, the Ovation tubal recanalization system was approved for
marketing for tubal recanalization in Japan by the Japanese Ministry of Health
and Welfare, and an application for reimbursement approvals within the Japanese
health care system is pending. The Company has also received regulatory
clearances in Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia and several additional
international markets for the Ovation falloposcopy system. The Japanese approval
was based on a multi-center clinical
11
<PAGE>
study involving women who had experienced over four years of infertility. Of the
60 patients in the study who had been diagnosed with bilateral tubal blockages
by HSG and laparoscopic chromopertubation or some other modality, 49 patients,
or 82%, had tubal patency demonstrated by falloposcopy and confirmed with an HSG
procedure two months after undergoing tubal recanalization with the Ovation
tubal recanalization system. Of the 55 patients in the Japanese clinical study
who were followed after tubal recanalization to determine pregnancy prognosis,
17 patients, or 31%, became pregnant during a period of up to two years
following the tubal recanalization procedure. This post-tubal recanalization
pregnancy rate compares with an approximately 20% pregnancy rate for in-vitro
fertilization in Japan.
The Ovation falloposcopy and tubal recanalization systems have also
undergone clinical evaluation in Australia. The diagnostic information obtained
through falloposcopy of 200 infertility patients enabled physicians to make more
informed recommendations regarding subsequent courses of action. This resulted
in a change in clinical management in approximately 70% of cases, with many
patients being advised to again attempt natural conception. Of the 192 patients
followed after falloposcopy, 67 achieved pregnancy within two years, 42 of whom
achieved pregnancy naturally. As a result, unnecessary and costly assisted
reproductive procedures were avoided.
In September 1996, the FDA advised the Company that its Ovation falloposcopy
system could be eligible for 510(k) clearance review. In September 1996, the
Company submitted a 510(k) clearance application to the FDA for its Ovation
falloposcopy system. On January 31, 1997, the Company received 510(k) marketing
clearance for its Ovation falloposcopy system.
The Company received 510(k) clearance for the Ovation IUI system in May 1995
and is currently conducting market evaluation prior to commencement of
commercial sales and distribution of the Ovation IUI system for this
application.
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company's marketing and distribution strategy consists of two key
elements: (i) focusing its direct sales and marketing resources on gynecology
group practices, surgery centers and infertility specialists and (ii)
establishing strategic marketing alliances with major medical products companies
to accelerate sales growth, increase geographic market coverage and access
particular markets and customers that can be more effectively addressed by the
sales organizations of these companies.
There are approximately 33,000 practicing gynecologists in the United
States, approximately 33% of whom perform laparoscopic surgery, approximately
15% of whom are skilled in hysteroscopy and approximately 80% of whom provide
some type of infertility services to their patients. Imagyn intends to focus its
direct sales activities on the approximately 1,400 larger gynecology group
practices, the approximately 1,700 outpatient surgery centers and the
approximately 1,000 infertility specialists in the United States which the
Company believes represent the highest concentration of demand for the Company's
products. Gynecology practices consisting of five or more physicians typically
have a sufficient number of patients to support an office-based micro-surgery
practice. The Company believes outpatient surgery centers are seeking new
procedures that can be performed in their facilities. The Company believes
infertility specialists, most of whom are associated with the approximately 300
infertility centers in the United States, are seeking new approaches to diagnose
and address infertility problems.
Imagyn plans to build a specialized regional sales force in the United
States to market its products directly to gynecology group practices, surgery
centers and infertility specialists. The Company intends to hire approximately
15 sales personnel, consisting of both field sales personnel and regional
managers, in the United States during the next 12 months. At December 31, 1996,
the Company's direct field sales force consisted of ten employees. The Company's
direct sales force will also provide training in the applications for and the
use of its products, as well as financial models of clinical practice designed
to demonstrate to payors and physicians the cost advantages of using the
Company's products.
12
<PAGE>
In January 1997, Imagyn entered into an exclusive provider agreement with
Medical Alliance, Inc. ("MAI") under which MAI will use the MicroSpan
microhysteroscopy system in its physician office mobile surgical business. MAI
provides temporary surgical facilities for use in conjunction with physicians'
offices in 46 states, thereby providing the Company with expanded access to the
physician office market. Under the terms of the exclusive provider agreement,
the Company's MicroSpan system will be the system of choice for
microhysteroscopy procedures under these managed care contracts.
In addition to selling directly to physicians and administrators in these
target markets, Imagyn plans to develop relationships with opinion leaders in
these markets by sponsoring workshops and conferences to promote the discussion
of clinical issues and treatments. The Company also plans to generate acceptance
of its products by establishing training programs at leading medical
institutions, such as its training centers for the use of its MicroLap system at
Yale University Medical School and Baylor College of Medicine.
The Company intends to focus a substantial portion of its sales and
marketing efforts on facilitating the acceptance and adoption of its
procedure-specific systems by third-party payor organizations. Imagyn plans to
take advantage of current trends in managed health care, under which the
traditional fee-for-service system is being replaced by integrated health care
delivery systems, preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") and health
maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), by improving patient care, reducing trauma
and facilitating the movement of procedures that have historically been
performed in the hospital to physicians' offices, clinics and outpatient surgery
centers.
The Company also intends to sponsor patient education programs and increase
women's awareness of the benefits of the Company's micro-invasive product
systems.
Internationally, the Company currently markets the Ovation systems in the
United Kingdom, Germany and Australia through a limited number of direct sales
personnel who are assisted by agents. The Ovation systems are marketed by
distributors in Italy, Austria and Spain. The distribution agreements with
distributors of the Ovation systems grant the distributors the exclusive right
to sell the Ovation systems within defined territories in exchange for covenants
prohibiting them from marketing medical devices that compete directly with these
products. The distributors purchase the products from the Company at a discount
from list price in transactions denominated in United States dollars. The
end-user prices are determined by the distributors and vary from country to
country.
In 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Medlink Europe BV, a
Dutch company, whereby Medlink has been appointed to serve as the Company's
master distributor for its MicroSpan products in Europe. Under the agreement,
Medlink Europe will purchase products directly from the Company and contract
with subdistributors for the sale of the Company's products to end users in
selected European countries.
The Company has only limited experience marketing and selling its products,
and does not have experience marketing and selling its products in commercial
quantities. Establishing marketing and sales capability sufficient to support
sales in commercial quantities will require significant resources and will be
time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
recruit and retain qualified marketing personnel, direct sales personnel or
contract sales representatives in a timely manner or that future sales and
marketing efforts of the Company will be successful. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in establishing marketing, sales and
distribution channels in the United States or internationally. The failure to
establish and maintain effective distribution channels for the Company's
products, or to retain qualified sales personnel to support commercial sales of
the Company's products, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

STRATEGIC MARKETING ALLIANCES
UNITED STATES SURGICAL CORPORATION
In October 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with United States
Surgical Corporation ("USSC") pursuant to which USSC was granted exclusive
international marketing rights for the Company's MicroLap system in all
international markets (excluding China and India). USSC was also granted, on a
co-exclusive basis with the Company, marketing rights to the MicroLap system in
the United States. Under the terms of the agreement, Imagyn will manufacture
private label products for USSC for sale and distribution in the United States
and international markets. USSC is required to obtain appropriate international
product registrations and regulatory approvals in those markets in which USSC
plans to distribute the MicroLap system, except that the Company is required, at
its expense, to obtain a CE mark for the system. USSC is also responsible for
all sales and marketing expenses in connection with the sale of MicroLap
systems. Furthermore, USSC is subject to minimum annual purchase requirements.
The Company's agreement with USSC may be terminated by USSC upon six months
notice at any time after October 23, 1997. Imagyn may terminate the agreement at
any time if USSC introduces products which compete with the MicroLap
microlaparoscope.
USSC has a substantial sales force that markets products primarily for use
in hospital-based surgical procedures. Because most laparoscopy procedures are
currently performed in a hospital, the Company believes that the ability to
expose physicians to the MicroLap system in a hospital setting will accelerate
the adoption of the MicroLap system by physicians and will facilitate the
movement of microlaparoscopy procedures out of the hospital. Therefore, the
Company believes that the efforts of its direct sales organization, which will
be focused on gynecology group practices, surgery centers and infertility
specialists, will be complementary to the sales and marketing efforts of USSC.
TERUMO CORPORATION
In August 1995, Terumo Corporation ("Terumo") obtained Japanese regulatory
approval for use of the Ovation tubal recanalization system pursuant to an
agreement between the Company and Terumo for the distribution and licensed
manufacture of the Ovation systems in Japan. Under the agreement, Terumo, a
Japan-based multinational hospital products supplier, has been granted sales and
distribution rights for the Ovation systems in Japan. Under the agreement,
Terumo is responsible for obtaining Japanese regulatory and reimbursement
approvals as well as for the cost of all sales and marketing activities for
these products in Japan. Terumo has applied to the Japanese Ministry of Health
and Welfare for reimbursement approval of the Ovation tubal recanalization
system in Japan. Through August 1997, Terumo may purchase products, denominated
in United States dollars, from Imagyn at a discount from United States list
price and resell the products to hospitals, clinics and physicians. The end-user
price is determined solely at the discretion of Terumo. At the end of this two
year period, Imagyn is obligated to transfer the manufacturing know-how
necessary to permit Terumo to manufacture the Ovation catheters and
falloposcopes for sale in Japan. Terumo is required to pay Imagyn royalties on
the sales of these products until such time as the Japanese patents covering
these products expire. Terumo may, at its option, continue to purchase other
ancillary products from Imagyn that are used in connection with the Ovation
systems. In August 1996, the Company's agreement with Terumo was amended to
grant Terumo with additional distribution rights for the Ovation system in
certain Asian markets.
The Company is dependent upon USSC and Terumo for marketing, sales and
distribution of the products covered by their respective agreements in their
respective territories. The Company is dependent upon Terumo for regulatory and
reimbursement approvals in Japan, and, although Terumo has obtained approval of
the linear everting system for tubal recanalization, there can be no assurance
that Terumo will comply with the conditions of such approval or that Terumo will
be able to obtain reimbursement approvals in Japan. The Company is dependent
upon USSC to obtain appropriate international product registrations and
regulatory approvals in those markets in which USSC plans to distribute the
MicroLap
14
<PAGE>
system, except that Imagyn is obligated, at its expense, to obtain a CE mark, an
international symbol of adherence to quality assurance standards and compliance
with applicable European Union Medical Device Directives, for the MicroLap
system. The Company is dependent upon Terumo and USSC to support reimbursement
approval for their respective products in their respective territories. In the
event that USSC and Terumo are unable to obtain necessary regulatory approvals
for their respective products in their respective territories, fail to devote
sufficient resources to promote the Company's products, or fail to support
reimbursement approvals, sales of the products covered by the agreements with
USSC and Terumo could be materially and adversely affected, which in turn would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. The Company has also agreed to indemnify USSC and
Terumo against claims of infringement of intellectual property rights.
Furthermore, the Company's rights to terminate the agreements with USSC and
Terumo are limited, and, accordingly, the Company may be unable to establish
alternative marketing or distribution arrangements if the agreements with USSC
and Terumo are not successful. The failure or loss of strategic alliances with
USSC and Terumo, or the Company's inability to enter into future necessary
strategic alliances, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Imagyn's research and development activities are performed in-house by a
group consisting of 12 engineers and technicians. The efforts of the research
and development group are supplemented by outside physician experts and
consultants. The Company also makes use of technical and engineering consultants
as required.
In microlaparoscopy, the Company is developing new electrocautery and other
microsurgical instruments to broaden its MicroLap product line and the
applications for the MicroLap system. Enhancements under development for the
Company's microhysteroscopy technology include microhysteroscopic biopsy and
electrocautery devices. In addition, Imagyn is directing research and
development efforts toward enhancing its proprietary micro-access technology for
both microhysteroscopy and microlaparoscopy. The Company is also developing new
applications for its proprietary linear everting catheter technology as well as
a curved proboscis tip for the Ovation falloposcopy system that is designed to
improve visualization during falloposcopy.
The product development process is time-consuming and costly, and there can
be no assurance that any new product development will be successfully completed,
that necessary regulatory clearances or approvals will be granted by the FDA or
international regulatory authorities on a timely basis, or at all, or that any
new products developed and introduced by the Company will receive market
acceptance. Failure by the Company to develop, obtain necessary regulatory
clearances or approvals for, or successfully market new products, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
The Company's research and development expenditures totaled approximately
$2.7 million, $1.8 million and $1.8 million in the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
MANUFACTURING
The Company manufactures its proprietary microlaparoscopes,
microhysteroscopes, falloposcopes, linear everting catheters and micro-access
devices in its clean room facilities in Laguna Niguel, California.
Components are purchased from a variety of vendors, subjected to stringent
quality specifications and assembled by Imagyn's highly skilled manufacturing
technicians into finished products. Final assembly and packaging is currently
performed by the Company in-house and sterilization is performed by an outside
vendor. The manufacturing processes for microlaparoscopes, microhysteroscopes
and linear everting catheters are complex and require precision in producing,
assembling and testing components and finished
15
<PAGE>
products. Many of the steps in the assembly process, such as grinding and
polishing lenses and optical fibers, are performed under a microscope, requiring
up to 80x magnification.
The Company has limited manufacturing capacity and may be required to
increase both its in-house manufacturing capability and the size of its
manufacturing facilities. Although the Company expanded its manufacturing
facilities in 1996, there can be no assurance that such facilities will be
adequate or that the Company may be able to attract, train and retain the
required personnel, including personnel skilled in micro-optics assembly
processes. The Company may need to obtain alternative manufacturing facilities
or to establish contract manufacturing for its products. Delays associated with,
or inability to establish, such capacity could have a material adverse affect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Certain of the components used in the Company's product systems, including
the optic image fiber used in the MicroLap, a similar version of which will also
be used in the MicroSpan and the medical video camera and light source used in
connection with the Ovation tubal recanalization system, are currently purchased
from single sources. Currently, the Company has a supply agreement with the
MicroLap image fiber supplier; however, there can be no assurance that such
supplier will be able to or will continue to supply image fibers to the Company
in the amounts and at the times needed by the Company or that other disruptions
in supply will not occur. The number of manufacturers capable of making such
optical image fibers is limited and, to date, the Company has not qualified
additional suppliers for such optical image fibers. The Company believes it can
qualify an additional source for such optical image fiber; however, there can be
no assurance as to when or whether the Company will be able to qualify such
supplier. The Company's prior supplier of Ovation medical video cameras and
light sources ceased manufacturing such products in late 1995 as a result of
financial difficulties, which resulted in a temporary inability of the Company
to supply such components to Terumo. As a result, the Company was unable to ship
Ovation medical video cameras and light sources to Terumo for a period of
approximately six months. Although the Company has qualified a replacement
supplier, there can be no assurance that future supply disruptions for such
components will not occur. The Company also uses a single vendor for
sterilization of its products, and disruptions in sterilization of finished
products could adversely affect the Company. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not encounter future component shortages or
other disruptions in supply of materials or services. Delays associated with any
future raw materials or component shortages could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations,
particularly as the Company scales up its manufacturing activities.
The Company's products are complex devices designed for use inside and
around the organs of the female reproductive system. To date, the Company has
only limited experience regarding the reliability of its products in the field.
Component failures, manufacturing errors or design defects could result in an
unsafe condition or injury to the patient. If any such failures or defects were
material, the Company could be required to undertake a market withdrawal or
recall of products. Even if regulatory approvals are obtained, there can be no
assurance that a market withdrawal or product recall will not occur. Costs of a
market withdrawal or product recall could be significant and could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
PATENTS, TRADE SECRETS AND LICENSES
Imagyn's ability to compete effectively will depend in part on its ability
to develop and maintain proprietary aspects of its technology. Imagyn seeks to
protect its proprietary position aggressively by, among other things, filing
United States and foreign patent applications to protect technology, inventions
and improvements that are important to the development of its business.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company held 13 issued United States patents
and 3 issued foreign patents and had 13 United States and 10 foreign patent
applications pending, covering various aspects of
16
<PAGE>
the Company's product systems. The Company's issued United States patents cover
technology underlying the Ovation systems. The expiration dates of these patents
range from October 2011 to May 2014.
In addition to its patents and patent applications, the Company holds a
license from Baxter Healthcare Corporation ("Baxter") and Thomas J. Fogarty,
M.D. ("Fogarty"), the inventor of the linear everting catheter, that grants
Imagyn the exclusive, perpetual, worldwide use of patented technology and
know-how related to the linear everting catheter technology in the fields of
obstetrics, gynecology, and infertility, in exchange for royalty payments. As of
December 31, 1996, Baxter and Fogarty held, and Imagyn has been granted the
exclusive license for, 11 issued United States patents and numerous issued
foreign patents and pending applications covering aspects of linear everting
catheter technology. The license agreement requires that Baxter maintain and
prosecute all patents and patent applications relating to the linear everting
catheter technology.
No assurance can be given that any patents from pending patent applications
or from any future patent applications will be issued, that the scope of any
patent protection will exclude competitors or provide competitive advantages to
the Company, that any of the Company's patents will be held valid if
subsequently challenged or that others will not claim rights in or ownership of
the patents and other proprietary rights held by the Company. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that others have not developed or will not develop similar
products, duplicate any of the Company's products or design around the Company's
patents. In addition, others may hold or receive patents or file patent
applications which contain claims having a scope that covers products developed
by the Company.
The medical device industry has been characterized by extensive litigation
regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and many companies in
the industry have employed intellectual property litigation to gain a
competitive advantage. There can be no assurance that the Company will not
become subject to patent infringement litigation or an interference proceeding
declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") to determine
the priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution of patent suits, USPTO
interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings are
both costly and time consuming. Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents
issued to the Company, to protect the Company's trade secrets or know-how or to
determine the enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of
others.
Any litigation or interference proceedings involving the Company would
result in substantial expense to the Company and significant diversion of effort
by the Company's technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in
litigation or interference proceedings to which the Company may become a party
could subject the Company to significant liabilities to third parties or require
the Company to seek licenses from third parties. Although patent and
intellectual property disputes in the medical device area have often been
settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs associated with such
arrangements may be substantial and could include ongoing royalties.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that necessary licenses would be
available to the Company on satisfactory terms, if at all. Adverse
determinations in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain
necessary licenses could prevent the Company from manufacturing and selling its
products, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to patents, the Company relies on trade secrets and proprietary
know-how to compete, which it seeks to protect, in part, through appropriate
confidentiality and proprietary information agreements. These agreements
generally provide that all confidential information developed or made known to
individuals by the Company during the course of the relationship with the
Company is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties, except in
specific circumstances. The agreements also generally provide that all
inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering service to the
Company shall be the exclusive property of the Company. There can be no
assurance that proprietary information or confidentiality agreements with
employees, consultants and others will not be breached,
17
<PAGE>
that the Company will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that the
Company's trade secrets will not otherwise become known to or independently
developed by competitors.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
UNITED STATES
The research, development, testing, manufacture, labeling, storage,
distribution and marketing of the Company's products are subject to extensive
and rigorous regulation by the FDA and, to varying degrees, by state and foreign
regulatory agencies. The Company's products are regulated in the United States
as medical devices by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
("FDC Act") and most require clearance or approval by the FDA prior to
commercialization. In addition, certain material changes or modifications to
medical devices also are subject to regulatory review and clearance or approval.
Under the FDC Act, the FDA regulates the research, clinical testing,
manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping, distribution, sale and
promotion of medical devices in the United States. The testing for, preparation
of and subsequent review of applications by the FDA and foreign regulatory
authorities is expensive, lengthy and uncertain. The failure by the Company to
comply with FDA requirements could result in warning letters, fines,
injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial
suspension of production, the government's refusal to grant, or withdrawal of,
premarket clearance or premarket approval for devices, and criminal prosecution.
The FDA also has the authority to require clinical testing of certain
medical devices. If clinical testing of a device is required and if the device
presents a "significant risk," an Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE")
application must be approved prior to commencing clinical trials. The IDE
application must be supported by data, typically including the results of
laboratory and animal testing. If the IDE application is approved by the FDA,
clinical trials may begin at a specified number of investigational sites
involving a specified maximum number of patients, as approved by the FDA. The
clinical trials are required to be conducted under the auspices of an
Institutional Review Board ("IRB"). During the IDE study, the FDA has authority
to review, limit, or terminate the study at any time. Discontinuance of the
study could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Before a new medical device may be introduced into the market in the United
States, the manufacturer or distributor generally must obtain marketing
clearance from the FDA through either a 510(k) premarket notification or a
premarket approval ("PMA") application. If the manufacturer or distributor can
establish, among other things, that a device is "substantially equivalent" in
that it has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as
the predicate device or has different technological characteristics that do not
raise different questions of safety and efficacy than the predicate device, the
manufacturer or distributor may seek clearance to market the device by
submitting a 510(k) premarket notification. Following submission of the 510(k)
premarket notification, the manufacturer or distributor may not place the device
into commercial distribution unless and until a finding of substantial
equivalence is issued by the FDA. In response to a 510(k) premarket
notification, the FDA may declare that the device is substantially equivalent to
a predicate device and allow the proposed device to be marketed in the United
States. Alternatively, the FDA may require further information, including
clinical data, to make its determination regarding substantial equivalence, or
the FDA may determine that the proposed device is not substantially equivalent
to the predicate device, and require the manufacturer or distributor to submit a
PMA. An FDA request for additional information or a determination that the
device is not substantially equivalent would delay market introduction of the
products that are the subject of the 510(k) premarket notification.
In September 1996, the FDA advised the Company that its Ovation falloposcopy
system could be eligible for 510(k) clearance review. In September 1996, the
Company submitted a 510(k) clearance application to the FDA for its Ovation
falloposcopy system. On January 31, 1997, the Company received 510(k) marketing
clearance for its Ovation falloposcopy system.
18
<PAGE>
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had received thirteen 510(k) clearances
for certain diagnostic and/or therapeutic indications of its microlaparoscopy,
microhysteroscopy and linear everting catheter intrauterine insemination product
systems.
If the manufacturer or distributor cannot establish that a proposed device
is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, the
manufacturer or distributor must seek premarket approval of the proposed device
through submission of a PMA application. A PMA application must be supported by
extensive data, including laboratory, preclinical and clinical trial data to
prove the safety and efficacy of the device, as well as extensive manufacturing
information. If the FDA determines, upon initial review, that a submitted PMA
application is sufficiently complete to permit substantive review, the FDA will
accept the PMA application for filing. FDA review of a PMA application generally
takes approximately two years or more from the date of acceptance for filing,
but review times vary depending upon FDA resources and workload demands and the
complexity of PMA submissions. There can be no assurance that the FDA will
review and approve the PMA in a timely manner, if at all. Failure to obtain PMA
approvals could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, as one of the
conditions for approval, the FDA will inspect the manufacturing establishment at
which the subject device will be manufactured to determine whether the quality
control and manufacturing procedures conform to GMP regulations. If granted, the
PMA approval may include significant limitations on the indicated uses for which
the device may be marketed.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain necessary
510(k) clearances or PMA approvals to market new products in the United States
for their intended uses on a timely basis, if at all, and delays in receipt of
or failure to receive such approvals, the loss of previously received approvals,
or failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
The Company is also required to register with the FDA and with state
agencies such as the California Department of Health Services ("CDHS") as a
medical device manufacturer, and to list its products with the FDA.
Consequently, the Company's facilities will be inspected periodically by both
the FDA and CDHS to determine whether the Company manufactures its products in
compliance with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") and other applicable
regulations. In November 1995, the Company's facility was inspected by the FDA
for a routine GMP inspection. The FDA noted several observations, to which the
Company responded. The Company has received FDA confirmation of the adequacy of
its responses.
The Company is also required, upon commercialization, to provide information
to the FDA concerning any death or serious injury that its medical devices may
have allegedly caused or contributed to, as well as any product malfunction that
would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction
were to recur. Also, if safety or efficacy problems occur after the product
reaches the market, the FDA may take steps to prevent or limit further marketing
of the product. In addition, the FDA prohibits the marketing of approved devices
for uses other than those specifically cleared for marketing by the FDA. Failure
to comply with applicable FDA regulations can result in FDA warning letters, FDA
refusal to approve or clear products, revocation or withdrawal of approvals
previously granted, civil penalties, product seizures, injunctions, recalls,
operating restrictions and criminal prosecution and penalties. Consequently,
failure by the Company to comply with regulatory requirements could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
The promotion of most products regulated by the FDA is subject to the
jurisdiction of the FDA, Federal Trade Commission and related state authorities.
The Company also is subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to occupational safety, laboratory and manufacturing
practices, and the use, handling and disposal of hazardous or potentially
hazardous substances. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be
required to incur significant costs in the future to comply with such laws or
will be able to continue to comply with such laws and regulations, which are
subject to change.
19
<PAGE>
FDA regulations regarding the research, development, testing, manufacture,
labeling, storage, distribution and marketing of the Company's products are
subject to change. The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, such changes
might have on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
INTERNATIONAL
Sales of medical devices outside the United States are subject to foreign
regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. The time
required to obtain registrations or approvals required by foreign countries may
be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance or approval, and
requirements for licensing may differ significantly from FDA requirements. Some
countries have historically permitted human studies earlier in the product
development cycle than regulations in the United States permit. Other countries,
such as Japan, have requirements similar to those of the United States. This
disparity in the regulation of medical devices may result in slower product
clearance in certain countries than in others. Many countries in which the
Company operates or intends to operate either do not currently regulate medical
devices or have minimal device registration requirements; however, these
countries may develop more extensive regulations in the future that could
adversely affect the Company's ability to market its products.
Pursuant to the Company's distributorship agreement with USSC, USSC is
required to obtain appropriate international regulatory registrations and
approvals in those markets in which USSC plans to distribute the Company's
MicroLap system, except that the Company is required to obtain a CE mark for the
system.
In August 1995, following completion of a clinical trial, Terumo received
import approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health for the sale and
distribution of the Company's linear everting catheter system in Japan for use
in fallopian tube recanalization.
The Company has received registrations and approvals to market its Ovation
systems in Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Singapore, South Korea,
Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Denmark and The Netherlands.
All of the medical devices currently manufactured by the Company which are
distributed in the European Union ("EU") will be subject to the Medical Devices
Directive ("MDD") when the transition period for the MDD expires on June 13,
1998. To comply with the MDD, the Company will need to obtain the right to affix
the CE mark on its medical devices. The right to affix the CE mark must be
obtained from one of the organizations in the EU, known as "Notified Bodies,"
which are designated by individual member states as competent to grant to
companies the right to affix the CE mark on their medical devices. The CE mark
will show that the Company is entitled to market its medical devices in the EU
because they meet all the essential requirements of the MDD. The CE mark will
permit the Company's medical devices to circulate freely throughout the EU.
Without receipt of the right to affix the CE mark on its medical devices, the
Company's medical devices will not be able to be marketed anywhere in the EU.
The Company is currently in the process of taking the steps that will be
necessary to comply with the essential requirements of the MDD, but there can be
no assurance that by taking these steps, the Company will be granted the right
to affix the CE mark on any of its medical devices by a Notified Body.
In the EU, some accessories to the Company's products, such as cameras,
pumps and light sources, are subject to the Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive ("EMC Directive") or similar laws of EU member states. The transition
period for the EMC Directive expired on December 31, 1995. Due to the volume of
electrical and electronic devices of all types, including medical devices, which
must be tested in order to determine whether they comply with the EMC
Directive's requirements, many companies have not been able to complete their
testing and review obligations through the Notified Bodies that must confirm EMC
Directive compliance. In acknowledgment of industry delays, an informal
understanding has been reached between member states of the EU and EU Commission
officials that enforcement/ compliance actions relating to the EMC Directive
will similarly be delayed until January 1, 1997.
20
<PAGE>
Export sales of investigational PMA devices or devices not cleared for
commercial sale in the United States are subject to FDA export permit
requirements. In order to obtain an export permit, the exporter must provide the
FDA with documentation from the medical device regulatory authority of the
country in which the purchaser is located, stating that the sale of the device
is not a violation of that country's medical device laws. The Company has
received certain export approvals for the Ovation systems for Australia, The
Netherlands, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, and is
seeking export approvals for other countries. Recently proposed FDA regulations
would eliminate export approval requirements for export of investigational
devices that are the subjects of FDA-approved IDEs to certain countries that
have expressed approval of the importation of such devices. There can be no
assurance, however, that the final regulations will contain the same language as
the proposed regulations, and the final regulations may revise the proposed
regulations in such a way that could adversely affect the Company's existing or
future export operations.
THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT
In the United States, hospitals, physicians and other health care providers
that purchase medical devices, such as Imagyn's products, generally rely on
third-party payors, principally private health insurance plans and, to a lesser
extent, federal Medicare and state Medicaid, to reimburse all or part of the
cost of the procedure in which the medical device is being used.
Reimbursement in the United States for procedures performed in hospitals,
ambulatory care centers or physicians' offices using the Company's
microlaparoscopy products is currently available from most third-party payors,
including most major private health care insurance plans and Medicaid, under
existing procedure codes. However, there is currently no specific reimbursement
code for office-based microlaparoscopy procedures. Third-party reimbursement for
the Company's products will be dependent upon decisions by individual health
maintenance organizations, private insurers and other payors. The Company
believes that procedures performed using Imagyn's MicroSpan system could be
reimbursed in the United States under existing procedure codes for diagnostic
and therapeutic hysteroscopy procedures. However, there can be no assurance that
such procedure codes will be available with respect to the Company's products or
that the reimbursement under these codes will be adequate. To the extent cost
containment measures imposed by third party payors adversely affect the hospital
and private practice markets, demand for and pricing of the Company's products
could be adversely affected as well.
Certain health care providers are moving toward a managed care system in
which such providers contract to provide comprehensive health care for a fixed
cost per person. Imagyn is unable to predict what changes will be made in the
reimbursement methods utilized by third-party health care payors. Imagyn
anticipates that hospital administrators and physicians would justify the use of
its products by the attendant cost savings and clinical benefits that the
Company believes would be derived from the use of its products. However, there
can be no assurance that this will be the case. Furthermore, the Company could
be adversely affected by changes in reimbursement policies of government or
private health care payors, particularly to the extent any such changes affect
reimbursement for the procedure in which the Company's products are used.
Failure by physicians, hospitals and other users of the Company's products to
obtain sufficient reimbursement from health care payors for the procedure in
which the Company's products are used or adverse changes in government and
private third-party payors' policies toward reimbursement for such procedures
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country
and, within some countries, by region. Reimbursement approvals must be obtained
on a country-by-country basis. Many countries have government managed health
care systems that determine whether reimbursement will be granted for new
medical devices and procedures, as well as private insurance systems.
Broad-based foreign market acceptance of the Company's MicroLap, MicroSpan and
Ovation systems will depend in part on the availability and level of
reimbursement in the international markets targeted by the Company. The
21
<PAGE>
Company's Ovation falloposcopy system has been approved for reimbursement in
Australia and Germany. Terumo recently applied to the Japanese Ministry of
Health and Welfare for reimbursement approval of the Ovation tubal
recanalization system in Japan. The process of obtaining reimbursement approvals
can be lengthy and unpredictable, and there can be no assurance that the Company
will obtain reimbursement approvals in Japan or in any other country within a
particular time, for a particular amount, or at all. Even if reimbursement
approval is obtained, due to the pressure of rising health care costs in many
countries, there can be no assurance that such approval will not be limited or
withdrawn at any time. Failure to obtain or maintain such approvals for some or
all of the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Physician adoption of the Company's products and physician advocacy of
reimbursement of procedures performed using them will be necessary in order to
obtain reimbursement from government and private payors for procedures performed
using Imagyn's products. The availability of reimbursement will depend on the
clinical efficacy and cost of the Company's products and systems. There can be
no assurance that reimbursement for the Company's products will be available in
the United States or in international markets under either government or private
reimbursement systems, or that physicians will support and advocate
reimbursement for use of the Company's systems for all uses intended by the
Company. Failure by physicians, hospitals and other users of the Company's
products to obtain sufficient reimbursement from health care payors or adverse
changes in government and private third-party payors' policies toward
reimbursement for procedures performed using the Company's products would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
COMPETITION
The medical device industry and the market for treatment of gynecological
disorders and infertility, in particular, are intensely competitive and
characterized by rapidly evolving technology. Compared to traditional
laparoscopes and hysteroscopes, the Company believes that the principal
competitive factors are product performance, cost-effectiveness, degree of
invasiveness, patient recovery time and level of side effects. The Company's
proprietary micro-optics technology provides visualization and product
performance comparable to traditional laparoscopes and hysteroscopes, and when
used in combination with the Company's micro-access devices are less invasive
than products used in traditional laparoscopy and hysteroscopy procedures. As a
result, the Company's systems can be used without general anesthesia, thus
reducing patent recovery time and risk of complications. Imagyn believes that
less-invasive procedures performed with the Company's MicroLap and MicroSpan
systems will be substantially less traumatic and costly than more invasive,
traditional surgical procedures currently in widespread use.
Competition in the market for micro-invasive diagnosis and treatment of
gynecological disorders is intense and is expected to increase. The Company
believes that the principal competitive factors in the markets for
microlaparoscopes and microhysteroscopes are quality of visualization, product
performance, durability and compatibility with capital equipment already owned
by the user. The Company believes that it competes favorably with respect to
each of these factors, particularly with regard to visualization and product
performance. A number of the Company's competitors are currently marketing
products for use in such less-invasive procedures. Olympus America, Inc., Origin
Medsystems, Inc., a subsidiary of Guidant Corporation, Medical Dynamics, Inc.,
Circon-Cabot Corp., and Karl Storz Instrument Co., are currently marketing
laparoscopes with diameters ranging from 1.2 millimeters to 3.0 millimeters.
Circon-Cabot Corp. currently markets a microhysteroscope.
Competition in the market for falloposcopy and tubal recanalization is also
expected to increase. Conceptus, Inc. is currently pursuing FDA approval of a
guidewire-based falloposcopy system. The Company believes that the principal
competitive factors in this market will be product performance and
22
<PAGE>
ability to perform procedures in a non-hospital setting without the concurrent
use of laparoscopy. The Company believes it competes favorably with respect to
each of these factors.
The Company also faces potential competition from medical device or
pharmaceutical manufacturers that currently market or may be developing other
medical devices or drugs, such as hormonal therapies, for the treatment of
uterine disorders. Other companies may choose to enter these markets at a later
date and would represent competition for the Company. In addition, the Company
competes with other companies for sites to conduct clinical trials.
Most of the Company's competitors have significantly greater financial,
technical, research, marketing, sales, distribution and other resources than the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not
succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective or less
costly than any which have been or are being developed by the Company or that
would render the Company's technologies or products obsolete or not competitive,
or that such competitors will not succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for,
introducing or commercializing any such products prior to the Company. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully or that
competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations.
PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
The development, manufacture and sale of medical devices entail significant
risk of financial exposure to product liability claims. Although the Company has
not experienced any product liability claims to date, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to avoid significant product liability claims and
potential related adverse publicity. The Company maintains product liability
insurance with coverage limits of $25,000,000 per occurrence and an annual
maximum of $25,000,000, which the Company believes is comparable to that
maintained by other companies of similar size serving similar markets. However,
there can be no assurance that such coverage limits are adequate to protect the
Company from any liabilities it might incur in connection with the development,
manufacture and sale of its products. Product liability insurance is expensive
and in the future may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at
all. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against
the Company in excess of its insurance coverage could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1996, Imagyn had 87 full-time employees, 12 of whom were
engaged in research and development activities, eight in regulatory and quality
assurance, 42 in manufacturing, 17 in sales and marketing, and eight in finance
and administration. None of Imagyn's employees is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement, and the Company believes that it maintains good relations
with its employees.
ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS
UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE. Imagyn is substantially dependent upon
the success and market acceptance of its MicroLap microlaparoscopy system,
MicroSpan microhysteroscopy system and Ovation systems. The Company's MicroSpan
and Ovation systems have generated limited revenue to date and the Ovation
system has not been commercially introduced in the United States. The Company
believes that physicians will not use the Company's product systems unless they
determine that such product systems and the procedures in which they are
intended to be used are safe and effective alternatives to current
hospital-based procedures and demonstrate clinical utility, and can be used in a
cost-effective manner. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's
existing or future products will gain any significant degree of market
acceptance among physicians, patients and health care payors, even if necessary
international and United States regulatory and reimbursement approvals are
obtained.
23
<PAGE>
The Company believes that market acceptance of the MicroLap system will
depend on the Company's and USSC's ability to provide evidence to the medical
community of the effectiveness of micro-invasive laparoscopic procedures and of
the benefits to patients, physicians and payors of such micro-invasive surgery
performed outside the hospital. Market acceptance will also be dependent upon
the durability and performance of the MicroLap. The Company believes that market
acceptance of its MicroSpan system will depend on the Company's ability to
demonstrate the utility of diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy. In particular,
market acceptance of diagnostic microhysteroscopy may be limited because some
physicians and payors view hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, as
the appropriate therapy for a variety of uterine disorders as a hysterectomy
precludes the recurrence of the uterine disorders it was performed to treat.
Such physicians or payors may be reluctant to perform or pay for diagnostic
microhysteroscopy to visualize the uterus if the ultimate treatment outcome is
likely to be a hysterectomy. In addition, several less-invasive alternatives to
operative hysteroscopy are either under development, in clinical trials or have
recently been introduced. Market acceptance of diagnostic use of the MicroSpan
system may also therefore be dependent upon acceptance of these less invasive
alternatives to hysterectomy. Market acceptance of the MicroLap and MicroSpan
systems will also be dependent upon the willingness of physicians to perform
laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures, which have traditionally been
performed in the hospital under general anesthesia, in an office or clinic. Such
market acceptance may also be dependent upon the ability of MicroLap
laparoscopes and MicroSpan microhysterscopes to be used with a broad variety of
sterilization methods. Addition of other sterilization methods to the MicroLap
microlaparoscope and MicroSpan Microhysteroscope labeling may require submission
of a new 510(k) clearance application to the FDA. Preferred sterilization
methods may differ among users of the Company's products with, for example,
physician's offices preferring different methods than hospitals or surgery
centers. The MicroLap microlaparoscope is not currently labeled for use with all
sterilization methods, and the Company is aware that certain users of its
products are using, and prefer to use, other sterilization methods. In addition,
physician acceptance of microlaparoscopy and microhysteroscopy may be affected
by the unwillingness of physicians to perform these procedures under conscious
sedation rather than under general anesthesia, availability in the physician's
office of necessary ancillary capital equipment such as medical video cameras
and light sources, and availability of a sufficiently large patient base to
support an office-based microsurgery practice.
The Company believes that market acceptance of the Ovation systems will
depend on the Company's ability to demonstrate the utility of falloposcopy and
recanalization in diagnosing and managing infertility and generate an interest
on the part of physicians to be trained to perform such procedures using the
Company's Ovation systems. There can be no assurance that physicians and other
potential users of the Company's products will be willing to learn to perform
microlaparoscopy, microhysteroscopy or falloposcopy with the Company's products
or that the Company will be able to train such users to learn these techniques.
Market acceptance will also be dependent upon the availability of third-party
reimbursement for procedures performed using the Company's products.
Because the success of each of the Company's product systems depends upon
acceptance by physicians and health care payors of such product systems and the
procedures in which they are intended to be used, the Company believes that
recommendations and endorsements by influential physicians will be essential for
market acceptance of the Company's products. There can be no assurance that any
such recommendations or endorsements will be obtained. Failure of the Company's
products to achieve significant market acceptance would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
HISTORY OF LOSSES AND EXPECTATION OF FUTURE LOSSES; FLUCTUATIONS IN
OPERATING RESULTS; LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY. The Company has experienced
significant operating losses since inception and, as of December 31, 1996, had
an accumulated deficit of $25.0 million. The Company expects to incur
substantial additional losses due to increased operating expenditures primarily
attributable to the expansion of marketing, sales, manufacturing and research
and development activities. Results of operations may
24
<PAGE>
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and will depend upon numerous
factors, including the extent to which the Company's products gain market
acceptance, the timing and volume of orders from USSC, Terumo, other
international distributors and the Company's other customers, actions relating
to regulatory and reimbursement matters, introduction of alternative means for
microlaparoscopy, microhysteroscopy and fallopian tube visualization by
competitors of the Company, pricing of competitive products, the cost and effect
of promotional discounts and marketing programs in which the Company may be
required to engage and the absence of a backlog of orders. Results of operations
will also depend upon the amount of royalties payable under the license from
Baxter and Fogarty relating to the linear everting catheter technology used in
the Ovation systems. There can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully commercialize any of its current products or any future products or
achieve significant revenues or profitability. Profitability, if achieved, may
not be sustained.
The Company has a limited history of commercial operations. Since its
inception in August 1989, the Company has been engaged primarily in research and
development of its Ovation systems, MicroLap microlaparoscopy system and
MicroSpan microhysteroscopy system. The Company has sustained substantial
operating losses since inception and there can be no assurance that the Company
will achieve or sustain profitability. To date, the Company has not generated
sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. The Company does not have
experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling its products in the quantities
that will be necessary for the Company to achieve significant product revenues
or profitability. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's products
will be successfully commercialized or that the Company will achieve significant
revenues. Whether the Company can successfully manage the transition to a
larger-scale commercial enterprise will depend upon a number of factors,
including the Company's ability to increase its commercial manufacturing
capability and establish marketing and sales capabilities and its ability to
develop additional distribution relationships in targeted international markets.
There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience future
difficulties related to the Company's transition to a larger-scale commercial
enterprise, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS; POTENTIAL FUTURE CAPITAL
REQUIREMENTS. The Company may make acquisitions in the future, and the Company
regularly evaluates such opportunities. Product and technology acquisitions
entail numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of acquired
operations and products, diversion of management's attention to other business
concerns, amortization of acquired intangible assets and potential loss of key
employees of acquired companies. The Company has no experience in assimilating
acquired organizations and products into its operations. No assurance can be
given as to the ability of the Company to integrate successfully any operations,
personnel or products that might be acquired in the future, and the failure of
the Company to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the
extent to which the Company's products gain market acceptance, actions relating
to regulatory and reimbursement matters, introduction of alternative means for
microlaparoscopy, microhysteroscopy and fallopian tube visualization by
competitors of the Company, pricing of competitive products, the cost and effect
of promotional discounts and marketing programs in which the Company may be
required to engage, the resources the Company devotes to marketing,
manufacturing and developing its products, and other factors. The timing and
amount of such capital requirements cannot accurately be predicted.
Consequently, although the Company believes that current cash resources,
together with cash generated from revenues, will provide adequate funding for
its capital requirements through 1998, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not require additional funding or that such additional funding, if
needed, will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, or at all. Any
additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing,
if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Failure to raise capital when
needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

DEPENDENCE UPON INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTORS AND SALES; RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL
SALES. Since inception, a significant amount of the Company's sales have been
outside the United States. USSC has distribution rights for the MicroLap system
in all international markets other than China and India and Terumo has
distribution rights for the Ovation systems in Japan. The Company has a limited
number of international distributors for its Ovation systems in certain
countries. The Company's international sales of these products in these
countries are dependent upon the marketing efforts of, and sales by, its
distributors. The Company relies on these distributors to assist it in obtaining
product registration and reimbursement approvals in certain international
markets. The Company has limited sell-through experience with certain of its
distributors and has in the past experienced situations in which distributors
placed initial stocking orders for quantities that were in excess of their end
user requirements. In addition, if a distributor were to fail to invest adequate
capital promoting the Company's products and training physicians in the proper
techniques for utilizing the Company's products, or were to experience financial
difficulty or cease operations, the Company would likely be unable to achieve
significant sales in the subject territory. Management of international
distributors can be time-consuming and can be complicated by dissimilarities
among international markets. Furthermore, the Company currently does not have
distributors in a number of international markets that it has targeted and
anticipates that it will need to establish additional international distribution
relationships. There can be no assurance that the Company will engage qualified
distributors in these markets in a timely manner, if at all, or that
distributors will adequately market the Company's products. The failure of
distributors to adequately promote the Company's products or the failure of the
Company to engage additional distributors would have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
A number of risks are inherent in international operations and transactions.
International sales and operations may be limited or disrupted by the imposition
of government controls, changes in regulatory requirements or interpretations
thereof, export license requirements, political instability, trade restrictions,
changes in tariffs, financial instability of distributors, differences in
purchasing systems for medical products, and difficulties in staffing,
coordinating and managing international operations. Additionally, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely
affected by fluctuations in international currency exchange rates as well as
constraints on the Company's ability to maintain or increase prices. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully commercialize its
current or future products in any international market.
DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company is dependent upon a number of
key management and technical personnel. The loss of the services of one or more
key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. The Company's success will also
depend on its ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified
management and technical personnel. The Company faces intense competition for
qualified personnel, many of whom are often subject to competing employment
offers, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract
and retain such personnel. Furthermore, the Company relies on the services of
several medical and scientific consultants, all of whom are employed on a
full-time basis by hospitals or academic or research institutions. Such
consultants are therefore not available to devote their full time or attention
to the Company's affairs.
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. The stock market has from time to time
experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the
operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations
may adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock. In
addition, the market price of the shares of Common Stock is likely to be highly
volatile. Factors such as fluctuations in the Company's results of operations,
failure of such results of operations to meet the expectations of public market
analysts and investors, announcements of technological innovations or new
products by the Company or its competitors, FDA and international regulatory
actions, actions with respect to reimbursement matters, developments with
respect to patents or proprietary rights, public concern as to the safety of
products developed by the Company or others, changes in health care policy in
26
<PAGE>
the United States and internationally, changes in stock market analyst
recommendations regarding the Company, other medical device companies or the
medical device industry generally, and general market conditions may have a
significant adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock. In addition,
it is likely that during a future quarterly period, the Company's results of
operations will fail to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and
investors and, in such event, the Company's stock price could be materially and
adversely effected.
SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON CHANGE OF CONTROL. The Company has adopted a
number of anti-takeover measures. The Company has adopted a Preferred Shares
Rights Agreement, sometimes referred to as a poison pill, designed to prevent
hostile takeovers not approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, the
Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock.
Such shares of Preferred Stock may be issued by the Company without stockholder
approval upon such terms as the Company's board of directors may determine. The
issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of the Company, may discourage bids for the
Company's Common Stock at a premium over the market price of the Common Stock
and may adversely affect the market price of and the voting and other rights of,
the holders of Common Stock. At present, the Company has no plans to issue any
of the Preferred Stock.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company currently leases approximately 26,000 square feet of facilities
in Laguna Niguel, California. These facilities comprise the Company's
administrative offices and manufacturing and warehouse operations. The leases
for these facilities extend through 1998. Imagyn believes that this space is
adequate for its current needs, and that it will be able to renew its leases and
obtain additional space if necessary.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not party to any legal proceedings.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
BACKGROUND
Imagyn was formed in 1989 to advance the development of gynecological
applications of novel catheter technology licensed by the Company from Baxter
and Fogarty. In 1992, the Company commenced commercial shipments of its Ovation
systems, based on this technology, to international distributors for resale to
physicians and hospitals.
In November 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with Terumo
Corporation ("Terumo") for the sale and licensed manufacture of the Ovation
systems in Japan. In connection with the granting of the distribution and
license rights under this agreement, Terumo paid the Company distribution and
license fees aggregating $2.1 million. Based on the Company's continuing
obligations under the agreement to transfer manufacturing know-how for the
Ovation systems to Terumo, the license fees of $1.0 million have been treated as
deferred income until such time as the Company completes the transfer of the
manufacturing know-how pursuant to the agreement. Upon completion of such
transfer, the Company will receive royalties on product sales by Terumo. During
1993 and 1994, Terumo conducted clinical trials in Japan for the purpose of
supporting regulatory and reimbursement approvals for the Ovation system. In
August 1996, the Company's agreement with Terumo was amended to grant Terumo
with additional distribution rights for the Ovation system in certain Asian
markets.
In January 1994, the Company was notified by the FDA that its PMA
application for the Ovation falloposcopy system submitted to the FDA in May 1992
was deficient in certain respects, particularly with respect to the design of
the clinical study. The Company attempted to address the FDA's concerns by
providing a reevaluation of its clinical data; however, the FDA did not find
this analysis acceptable and, in September 1995, the Company withdrew this PMA
application. In September 1996, the FDA advised the Company that its Ovation
falloposcopy system could be eligible for 510(k) clearance review. In September
1996, the Company submitted a 510(k) clearance application to the FDA for its
Ovation falloposcopy system. On January 31, 1997, the Company received 510(k)
marketing clearance for its Ovation falloposcopy system.
In August 1994, the Company commenced international commercial shipments of
its MicroLap microlaparoscopy system. By February 1995, the Company had received
three FDA 510(k) clearances for the MicroLap system, after which the Company
commenced marketing the system in the United States. The Company engaged the
services of non-stocking sales representative organizations to promote sales of
the MicroLap system.
In August 1995, Terumo received Japanese regulatory approval for marketing
of the Ovation tubal recanalization system. Following this approval, Terumo
commenced planning for the 1996 commercial
29
<PAGE>
introduction of the Ovation tubal recanalization system in Japan. Terumo has
applied for, but has not yet obtained, full Japanese reimbursement approval.
In August 1995, Terumo received Japanese regulatory approval for marketing
the Ovation tubal recanalization system. Following this approval, Terumo
commenced planning for the 1996 commercial introduction of the Ovation tubal
recanalization system in Japan. Terumo has applied for, but has not yet
obtained, full Japanese reimbursement approval.
In September 1995, the Company completed an equity recapitalization which
included a reverse 1-for-5 stock split of all outstanding stock, the conversion
of all Preferred Stock into Common Stock, and the sale of $9.9 million of new
Preferred Stock.
In October 1995, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with
United States Surgical Corporation ("USSC") pursuant to which USSC was granted
exclusive international marketing rights for the MicroLap system in all
international markets (excluding China and India). USSC was also granted, on a
co-exclusive basis with the Company, marketing rights to the MicroLap system in
the United States. As a result of the agreement with USSC, the Company
terminated all of its domestic sales representative organizations and
international distributors for the MicroLap system and, in connection with these
terminations, the Company made certain payments to these distributors. Following
execution of the agreement with USSC, the Company increased its manufacturing
capacity to support USSC's introduction of the MicroLap system and, in January
1996, the Company completed training of certain USSC sales personnel and
commenced commercial shipments of the MicroLap system to USSC.
In September 1996, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to
market its single use MicroSpan hysteroscope sheath in the United States.
Following receipt of the 510(k) clearance, the Company commenced the recruitment
of direct sales representatives and launched the MicroSpan microhysteroscopy
system in the United States on a limited basis in the fourth quarter of 1996.
The Company manufactures the Ovation systems and certain of its MicroLap and
MicroSpan system products, including its proprietary microlaparoscope,
microhysteroscope and micro-access devices, at its manufacturing facilities. The
Company has limited manufacturing capacity and may be required to increase both
its in-house manufacturing capability and the size of its manufacturing
facilities. Although the Company expanded its manufacturing facilities in 1996,
there can be no assurance that such facilities will be adequate or that the
Company may be able to attract, train and retain the required personnel,
including personnel skilled in micro-optics assembly processes. The Company may
need to obtain alternative manufacturing facilities or to establish contract
manufacturing for its products. Delays associated with, or inability to
establish, such capacity could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company currently
obtains certain components of its product systems from single source suppliers.
These components include the optic image fiber used in the MicroLap, a similar
version of which is also being used in the MicroSpan, and the medical video
camera and light source used in connection with the Ovation tubal recanalization
system. There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter future
component shortages or other disruptions in supply of materials. Delays
associated with any future raw materials or component shortages could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations, particularly as the Company scales up its manufacturing
activities.
Future revenues and results of operations may fluctuate significantly from
quarter to quarter and will depend upon, among other factors, the extent to
which the Company's products gain market acceptance, the timing and volume of
orders from USSC, Terumo, other international distributors and the Company's
other customers, actions relating to regulatory and reimbursement matters,
progress of clinical trials, introduction of alternative means for
microlaparoscopy, microhysteroscopy and fallopian tube visualization by
competitors of the Company, pricing of competitive products, the cost and effect
of promotional discounts and marketing programs in which the Company may be
required to engage and the absence of a backlog of orders. Results of operations
will also depend upon the amount of royalties payable under the
30
<PAGE>
license from Baxter and Fogarty relating to the linear everting catheter
technology used in the Ovation systems. The Company has a limited history of
operations and has experienced significant operating losses since inception.
Operating losses are expected to continue for at least the next twelve months as
the Company continues to expend substantial resources to expand its marketing
and sales activities in the United States and fund research and development and
the introduction of new products.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
NET SALES. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased to $9.4
million from $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase was
primarily the result of the first full year of sales to USSC of the Company's
MicroLap system. In 1996, sales to USSC were approximately 90% of the Company's
total sales. In 1996, 6% of the Company's sales were to international customers;
in 1995, 72% of the Company's sales were to international customers. The
decrease in the percentage of the Company's sales to international customers is
primarily the result of the increase in United States sales and the termination
of the Company's international distributors for the MicroLap system. The Company
records all sales to USSC as domestic sales; however, sales of the Company's
products by USSC are expected to include sales to international customers made
through Autosuture, Inc., a subsidiary of USSC. Net sales for the year ended
December 31, 1995, increased to $2.2 million from $1.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 1994. The increase was primarily the result of the
commencement of sales in the United States in 1995 of the MicroLap system,
increase of sales of the MicroLap system in international markets and initial
sales of the Company's Ovation system to Terumo.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $6.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
increase was attributable to the increase in the volume of sales of the
Company's products. Cost of sales in 1996 also included non-recurring production
costs and inefficiencies associated with the rapid increase and expansion of
production operations at the Company's current manufacturing facilities. Cost of
sales for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased to $1.8 million from $1.3
million for the year ended December 31, 1994, primarily due to the increase in
the volume of sales of the Company's products.
SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $4.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $3.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to sales and marketing
expenses associated with the introduction of the Company's MicroSpan products in
the United States, including expenses in connection with the recruitment of
direct sales personnel. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $3.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $2.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994. The increase was primarily due to sales and marketing
expenses associated with the introduction of the Company's MicroLap products in
the United States, including expenses of $400,000 associated with the
termination of international distributors and United States sales
representatives for the MicroLap system in connection with the USSC agreement.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development ("R& D") expenses, which
include clinical and regulatory expenses, increased to $2.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996 from $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1995.
This increase was attributable to increased expenditures for product development
and enhancements and costs associated with clinical trials of the Ovation
falloposcopy system in the United States. R &D expenses of $1.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 1995 were approximately equal to the $1.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 1994.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased
to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $1.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily the result of the
amortization of non-cash deferred compensation charges associated with grants of
stock options to employees, the hiring of additional personnel and other ongoing
expenses associated
31
<PAGE>
with the Company's public reporting requirements. General and administrative
expenses increased to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from
$1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. This increase primarily
resulted from expenses associated with an increase in the level of the Company's
operations.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME. Other operating income of $3.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995 resulted from nonrecurring payments in connection with
various marketing rights for certain products. There was no such income for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1994.
INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Net interest income for the year ended
December 31, 1996 was $1.8 million, as compared to interest expense of $217,000
for the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase was attributable primarily
to interest earned on higher cash balances held by the Company during the year
ended December 31, 1996 and to a lesser extent to the retirement of bridge
financing notes in September 1995. Interest income was $175,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1994. There were no short term notes outstanding during the
year ended December 31, 1994.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has not generated any taxable income to date and therefore has
not paid any federal income taxes since its inception. The Company accounts for
income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("FAS
109"). Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings, if
any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, valuation
allowances, in amounts equal to the net deferred tax assets as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, have been established in each period to reflect these
uncertainties.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of $16.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively, and federal and
state research and experimentation credit carryforwards of $387,000 and
$276,000, respectively, that will expire at various dates beginning in 1997
through 2010, if not utilized. Utilization of net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards will be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the
ownership change limitations of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and similar state provisions. The annual limitation is likely to result in the
expiration of most of the Company's net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards before full utilization as a result of the September 1995
recapitalization.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, the Company's expenses have significantly exceeded its net
sales, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $25.0 million as of December 31,
1996. The Company has funded its operations since inception primarily through
the private placement of equity securities, the net proceeds of the June 1996
initial public offering and other operating income. Through December 31, 1996,
the Company had raised $30.3 million from the private placement of equity
securities. Through December 31, 1996, the Company had received $5.6 million in
fees relating to two distribution agreements. In June 1996, the Company
completed an initial public offering of 3,162,500 shares of Common Stock raising
net proceeds of approximately $43 million.
At December 31, 1996, the Company's principal source of liquidity consisted
of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $41.4 million. Cash used
in the Company's operations was $5.6 million for the year ended December 31,
1996 and $2.2 and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
respectively. The Company's capital expenditures during the year ended December
31, 1996 were $1.3 million and $163,000 and $112,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively. The Company anticipates that capital
expenditures will increase in future periods due to expansion of manufacturing
operations and facilities. The Company intends to finance its capital needs
principally its existing capital resources. The Company has not sought to obtain
any credit facilities to provide additional working capital.
32
<PAGE>
Imagyn believes that existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund
its operations through 1998. However, the Company's future liquidity and capital
requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the extent to which the
Company's products gain market acceptance, actions relating to regulatory and
reimbursement matters, progress of clinical trials, introduction of alternative
means for microlaparoscopy, microhysteroscopy and fallopian tube visualization
by competitors of the Company, pricing of competitive products, the cost and
effect of promotional discounts and marketing programs in which the Company may
be required to engage and the resources that the Company devotes to marketing,
manufacturing and developing its products. The Company's capital requirements
will also depend on, among other things, the resources required to hire and
develop a direct sales force in the United States and the resources required to
expand manufacturing capacity and facilities requirements. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that the Company will not require additional financing
within this time frame. There can be no assurance that additional funding, if
needed, will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, or at all. Any
additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing,
if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Failure to raise capital when
needed could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition
and results of operations of the Company.

IMAGYN MEDICAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1995 AND 1996
1. THE COMPANY:
Imagyn Medical, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1989. The Company
designs, develops and markets micro-invasive, cost-effective devices for the
diagnosis and treatment of gynecological and reproductive disorders.
Imagyn International, Inc. was organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company in 1993. Imagyn International was created to facilitate the marketing,
sales and distribution of the Company's products in international markets.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales and related cost of goods sold are recognized when goods are shipped
to customers. The majority of the Company's customers are distributors which
sell goods to third-party end-users. The Company is not contractually obligated
to repurchase any inventory from their distributors. The Company records a
warranty accrual at the time of sale for estimated claims.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks, certificates of deposit,
and short-term investments with acquired maturities of three months or less. The
carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates market value.
RESTRICTED CASH
In 1995, the Company collateralized a letter of credit in the amount of
$117,187 with a certificate of deposit for $131,000. The certificate of deposit
had an interest rate of 4.5% and a maturity date of June 30, 1996, and is
therefore classified as a current asset on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 1995.
SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM CASH INVESTMENTS
The short-term and long-term cash investments are managed by outside
brokerage firms and consist primarily of commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, and short-term bond instruments and are held to maturity. Short-term
cash investments have acquired maturities of one year or less, while long-term
cash investments have maturities of greater than one year. The carrying amount
of short-term and long-term cash investments is the cost plus interest earned as
of December 31, 1996, which approximates market value.

IMAGYN MEDICAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1995 AND 1996
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined
on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which
range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lesser of the term of the related lease or its
estimated useful life.
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred while renewals or
betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of furniture, fixtures
and equipment, the accounts are relieved of the cost and the related accumulated
depreciation and amortization, and any resulting gain or loss is included in
operations.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary,
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The
provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the
change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"), "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of
accounting for an employee stock option. Fair value of the stock option is
determined considering factors such as the exercise price, the expected life of
the option, the current price of the underlying stock and its volatility,
expected dividends on the stock, and the risk-free interest rate for the
expected term of the option. Under the fair value based method, compensation
cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is
recognized over the service period. Pro forma disclosures for entities that
elect to continue to measure compensation cost under the intrinsic method
provided by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 must include the effects
of all awards granted in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1994.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles 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

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (CONTINUED)
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
3. RECAPITALIZATION:
On September 8, 1995, the Company completed an equity recapitalization (the
"Recapitalization"). The following events occurred as part of the
Recapitalization: (i) the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A,
Series B and Series C preferred stock on a 1-for-1 basis into shares of common
stock, (ii) a reverse 1-for-5 split of all then outstanding common stock and
common stock options, (iii) the issuance of 2,153,484 shares of new Series A
preferred stock at $3.66 per share for cash of $7,879,395, (iv) the conversion
of outstanding bridge financing notes of $2,056,586 into 562,062 shares of new
Series A preferred stock, (v) conversion of bridge financing warrants into
281,034 shares of common stock, and (vi) amendments to the stock option plans.
Prior to the completion of the Recapitalization, the Company obtained
$2,056,586 in bridge note financing. Interest at the rate of prime plus 1%, and
totaling $59,468, was paid in cash. In addition, the Company granted a warrant
to purchase a share of the new Series A preferred stock for $3.66 per share, for
each two shares of new Series A preferred stock received after conversion of the
bridge financing notes, or total warrants to acquire 281,034 shares of new
Series A preferred stock (the "bridge financing warrants"). These bridge
financing warrants were later exchanged for 281,034 shares of common stock for
no additional consideration in the Recapitalization. The Company recognized a
one-time non-cash charge of $331,618 to interest expense in connection with this
transaction, with such amount representing the then fair market value, as
determined by an independent third-party valuation, of such shares.
All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive
effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:
In June 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering (the "IPO")
of 3,162,500 shares of its common stock at $15.00 per share for proceeds, net of
offering expenses of $4,406,730, of $43,030,770. In connection with the IPO, all
then outstanding shares of convertible redeemable preferred stock were
automatically converted into 2,715,546 shares of common stock.
In conjunction with the IPO, the Board of Directors and stockholders
approved a 1-for-1.4814 reverse stock split of all outstanding common stock,
preferred stock and common stock options. All share and per share amounts have
been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all
periods presented.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
During 1994, the Company sold 45,903 shares of common stock to an officer of
the Company in exchange for a $170,000 recourse promissory note. These shares
were returned to the Company and the promissory note was canceled in August 1995
as part of the Company's Recapitalization. On October 31, 1995, the Company sold
328,069 shares of common stock to the same officer in exchange for a $72,900
recourse promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6.31% per annum
with all principal and interest due on October 30, 2000. The promissory note is
collateralized by the related shares of common stock. The Company has an option
to repurchase the shares at $0.222 per share. The repurchase option,

which matches the vesting terms of the shares, expired with respect to 35% of
the shares on September 7, 1996 and, for the remaining shares, on a monthly pro
rata basis through September 7, 1998.
The Company has a License Agreement with two of its stockholders relating to
patents, patent applications and other know-how on certain medical equipment
technology. Royalties pursuant to the License Agreement are payable for a period
of ten years following the date of the first commercial sale or the expiration
date of the last applicable patent, whichever occurs later. For the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, total royalty expense under this agreement was
$18,703, $28,315 and $21,039, respectively.
During 1993, the Company loaned two stockholders $75,000 and $48,000,
respectively. The loans bear interest at 4.92% and 5%, respectively, and have
five-year terms. The loans are collateralized by shares of the Company's common
stock. In March 1996, the $75,000 loan and related $8,435 interest receivable
were settled in full with the exchange of 7,585 shares of the Company's common
stock valued at its then fair market value.
During 1992, the Company entered into a License, Manufacturing and
Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement") with Terumo Corporation ("Terumo"), a
stockholder, granting Terumo the right to manufacture and distribute the
Company's products in Japan. Under the terms of the Agreement, Terumo was
required to pay the Company $1.1 million, nonrefundable, for the right to
distribute the Company's products in Japan and $1 million as a license fee for
the right to manufacture certain of the Company's products for sale in Japan.
The Agreement also requires Terumo to pay royalties to the Company upon sales of
products manufactured by Terumo under the terms of the Agreement. The Company is
required to provide manufacturing know-how, training and documentation to Terumo
for the purpose of establishing manufacturing capability relating to such
products within two years after Japanese government approval of the product,
which was obtained in August 1995. In the event the Company does not meet its
obligation for the transfer of manufacturing know-how, the license fee is
subject to refund with interest at 10%. Based on the Company's continuing
obligations under the license portion of the Agreement, the Company has deferred
income recognition of the $1 million license fee.
6. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31 consisted of the following:

At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
federal and state purposes of approximately $16,531,000 and $8,023,000,
respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards begin expiring in 2005 and
1997, respectively. The Company also has research and experimentation credit
carryforwards for federal and state purposes of approximately $387,000 and
$276,000, respectively. The research and experimentation credits begin to expire
in 2005 for federal purposes and carry forward indefinitely for state purposes.
The Company has federal foreign tax credits of $25,000 which expire in 1998. The
utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will be subject
to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations under
the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state
provisions. The annual limitation is likely to result in the expiration of most
of the Company's net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before full
utilization.
11. CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK:
In June 1996, concurrent with the IPO (Note 4), all 2,715,546 shares of
Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock were converted into common stock
on a one-for-one basis.
12. 1990 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN:
The Company had a 1990 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1990 Option Plan")
under which options were granted, at the then estimated fair market value of the
Company's common stock as determined by the Board of Directors. The 1990 Option
Plan was terminated during the Recapitalization and outstanding options, except
for the options to acquire 40,833 shares of common stock which were exercised in
1996, were canceled. Certain of the canceled options were replaced with new
options under the 1995 Stock Plan (the "1995 Stock Plan").

accounted for as unearned compensation and is being amortized to expense over
the related service period. During 1996, an additional $299,043 of unearned
compensation was recognized. During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
amortized compensation expense was $92,230 and $350,535, respectively.
14. OTHER OPTION PLANS:

1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") under
which employees may purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock. Employees
eligible to participate in the ESPP must work an average of at least 20 hours
per week and at least five months per calendar year. The ESPP provides for
employees to purchase stock at a 15% discount from the lower of the fair market
value at the enrollment date or the exercise date (June 30 and December 31 of
each calendar year). Amounts to purchase stock are withheld through
employee-directed payroll deductions, not to exceed 10% of gross compensation,
up to $12,500 per each six-month purchase period not to exceed $21,250 per
calendar year. The ESPP expires in the year 2006 unless terminated earlier.
Unless an employee withdraws from the ESPP, shares are automatically purchased
on the stated exercise date.
Shares are purchased in whole shares only. Any excess withholdings are
carried forward to the next period. On December 31, 1996, 5,113 shares were
purchased under the ESPP at a price of $6.91 per share. The Company recognized
$6,231 of compensation expense related to the ESPP for the year ended December
31, 1996.
PRO FORMA EFFECT OF STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Had
compensation cost been determined on the fair value at the grant dates for
awards under those plans consistent with the method promulgated by SFAS No. 123,
the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro
forma amounts below:

entity when such options were granted. This value is the current stock price
less the present value of the exercise price for a stock that does not pay
dividends. For options granted from May 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996, the fair
value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used under both models are as
follows: the risk-free interest rate was the U.S. Zero Coupon Bond rate for the
corresponding grant date and ranged from 5.48% to 6.0% in 1995 and from 5.33% to
6.56% in 1996; the exercise price is equal to the fair market value of the
underlying common stock at the grant date, the expected life of the option is
the term to expiration, generally 3 to 4 years; and the common stock will pay no
dividends. Under the Black-Scholes model only, the volatility is 92.36%.
15. PREFERRED SHARES RIGHTS AGREEMENT:
On November 7, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted a Preferred Shares
Rights Agreement and declared a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right
(a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock. Each Right enables its
holder to buy one one-thousandth of one share of the Company's Series A
Participating preferred stock, a designated series of preferred stock for which
each one-thousandth of a share has economic attributes and voting rights
equivalent to one share of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of
$50.
The Rights become exercisable and transferable apart from the common stock
only in certain limited circumstances involving acquisitions of or tender offers
for 15% or more of the Company's common stock. For a limited period of time
after the announcement of any such acquisition or offer, the Rights are
redeemable at the Company's option at a price of $.01 per Right. After becoming
exercisable, in certain more limited circumstances, each Right entitles its
holder to purchase for $50 an amount of common stock of the Company, or in
certain circumstances, securities of the acquiror, having a then current market
value equal to $100. The Rights expire on November 7, 2006.
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
LEASES
The Company leases office and manufacturing facilities in the United States
having noncancellable lease terms ranging from 30 to 36 months. In addition, the
Company leases office equipment with lease terms ranging from 21 to 48 months.
As of December 31, 1996, future minimum noncancellable annual lease commitments
for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:(CONTINUED)
401(k) PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "401(k) Plan") which is a
defined contribution plan for all Company employees who have reached age 21 and
have completed at least 1,000 hours of service. The 401(k) Plan is
self-contributory. The Company may, at its discretion, contribute to the Plan in
an amount not to exceed 12% of the employee's contribution. There were no
Company contributions in 1994, 1995 or 1996.
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE BONUS PROGRAMS
During 1995, the Company approved a Management Incentive Bonus Program (the
"Bonus Plan") for directors and officers. The Bonus Plan provides for bonuses of
up to 20% of base compensation, provided certain specific performance criteria
are met. Bonuses of $246,000 were earned and payable at December 31, 1996 under
the Bonus Plan. No amounts were due or paid in 1995 under the Bonus Plan. A
similar bonus plan was in effect in 1994, and $24,549 was earned under that
plan.
During 1995, the Company established a European Sales Incentive Program
which provides, for eligible employees based in Europe, for additional
compensation provided specific performance criteria are met. During the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, $7,748 and $7,500, respectively, were earned
and paid under this European Program.
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
In 1995, the Company entered into an agreement whereby another company was
appointed as the Company's distributor for certain products in certain
territories. The agreement required nonrefundable payments in the amount of
$3,500,000 which were received by the Company during the year ended December 31,
1995 and are included in operations on the accompanying consolidated statement
of operations as other operating income. The agreement does not have a fixed
term.
17. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
Net loss per common share is based on reported net loss, with such reported
net loss increased for accretion of the Series C preferred stock. The resulting
amount is presented below as loss applicable to common stock.
Such loss applicable to common stock in each period presented is divided by
the weighted average number of outstanding common shares which, along with
shares issuable under other equity securities, have been computed in accordance
with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic
4-D. The SAB requires that common stock issued by the Company in the twelve
months immediately preceding a proposed public offering plus the number of
common equivalent shares which become issuable during the same period pursuant
to the issuance of warrants or grant of stock options (using the modified
treasury stock method), and issuance of convertible preferred stock, at prices
less than

18. CREDIT RISK:
The Company maintains cash deposits at a bank and outside brokerage firms.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company had cash on deposit $270,316 and
$45,716,855, respectively, in excess of the federally-insured limits.
The Company's customers are primarily physicians and hospitals in the United
States and certain foreign countries, and domestic and international
distributors. The two largest customers accounted for approximately 56% of
accounts receivable at December 31, 1995 and the three largest customers totaled
approximately 43% of sales for the year ended December 31, 1995. One customer
accounted for approximately 90% of accounts receivable at December 31, 1996 and
approximately 91% of sales for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit and
may require an international customer to provide an irrevocable letter of credit
drawn on a bank previously approved by the Company. The Company establishes
allowances for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk
of specific customers. The accounting loss, should a customer be unable to meet
its obligation to the Company, would be equal to the recorded account
receivable.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors do not currently receive any cash compensation from the Company
for their service as members of the Board of Directors, although they are
reimbursed for certain expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at
Board and Committee meetings. However, the Company has entered into an agreement
with Elizabeth B. Connell, M.D., a director of the Company, which provides for a
minimum annual payment of $15,000 for Dr. Connell's attendance at board meetings
and other Company related activities. Dr. Connell has received a grant of an
option to purchase an aggregate of 8,101 shares of Common Stock. Under the
Company's 1996 Director Option Plan, each director who is not also an employee
of the Company (an "Outside Director") will automatically receive an option to
purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of this Prospectus or, if
later, upon joining the Board of Directors. In addition, beginning on the first
business day of 1997, and each year thereafter, each Outside Director who has
served on the Board of Directors for at least the preceding six months and
continues to serve as a director on the date of such grant will be granted an
option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Franklin D. Brown,
its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, which
agreement provides for base pay of $225,000 per annum and performance bonus
based upon criteria established by the Board of Directors, and for six months of
base pay as severance compensation following termination without cause. The
Company has entered into Change in Control Agreements with each of its two
regional sales managers. Each agreement provides for six months' severance
compensation in the event of the employee's termination or substantial change in
his job responsibilities during the initial six months following a change in
control of the Company.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND
INSIDER PARTICIPATION IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS
The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining salaries,
incentive compensation and other forms of compensation for directors, officers
and other employees of the Company. The Compensation Committee also administers
various incentive compensation plans. The Compensation Committee consists of
Messrs. Colella and Logan. Mr. Brown, who is the Company's President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, participates in all discussions and
decisions regarding salaries and incentive compensation for all employees of and
consultants to the Company, except that Mr. Brown is excluded from discussions
regarding his own salary and incentive compensation. Until March 1996, Mr. Brown
served as a member of the Compensation Committee.
BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
THE FOLLOWING IS PROVIDED TO STOCKHOLDERS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMPENSATION
COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"),
comprising two outside directors, is responsible for the administration of the
Company's compensation programs. These programs include base salary for
executive officers and both annual and long-term incentive compensation
programs. The Company's compensation programs are designed to provide a
competitive level of total compensation and include incentive and equity
ownership opportunities linked to the Company's performance and stockholder
return.
58
<PAGE>
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The design and implementation of the Company's executive compensation
programs are based on a series of guiding principles derived from the Company's
values, business strategy and management requirements. These principles may be
summarized as follows:
- Align the financial interests of the management team with the Company and
its stockholders;
- Attract, motivate and retain high-caliber individuals necessary to
increase total return to stockholders;
- Provide a total compensation program where a significant portion of pay is
linked to individual achievement and short- and long-term Company
performance; and
- Emphasize reward for performance at the individual, team and Company
levels.
COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(m)
The Committee has considered the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code adopted under the Federal Revenue Reconciliation Act of
1993. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation
for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for any of
the named executive officers, unless compensation is performance based. Since
the targeted cash compensation of each of the named executive officers is well
below the $1 million threshold and the Committee believes that any options
granted under the Company's stock option plan will meet the requirement of being
performance based under the transition provisions provided in the regulations
under Section 162(m), the Committee believes that Section 162(m) will not reduce
the tax deduction available to the Company. The Company's policy is to qualify
to the extent reasonable its executive officers' compensation for deductibility
under applicable tax laws.
COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The Company's executive compensation program has three major components, all
of which are intended to attract, retain and motivate executive officers
consistent with the principles set forth above. The Committee considers these
components of compensation individually as well as collectively in determining
total compensation for executive officers.
1. BASE SALARY. Each fiscal year the Committee establishes base salaries
for individual executive officers based upon (i) industry and peer group
surveys, (ii) responsibilities, scope and complexity of each position and (iii)
performance judgments as to each individual's past and expected future
contributions. The Committee reviews with the Chief Executive Officer and
approves, with appropriate modifications, an annual base salary plan for the
Company's executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. The
Committee reviews and fixes the base salary of the Chief Executive Officer based
on similar competitive compensation data and the Committee's assessment of his
past performance and its expectations as to his future contributions in leading
the Company.
2. ANNUAL CASH (SHORT-TERM) INCENTIVES. Annual cash incentives are
established to provide a direct linkage between individual pay and annual
corporate performance. Target annual bonus awards for 1996 were established for
executive officer positions at 20% of base salary for officers other than the
Chief Executive Officer and 30% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer.
In accordance with the provisions of the 1996 Management Incentive Bonus program
("Bonus Plan") each officer who served in an executive capacity during the last
fiscal year, including the Chief Executive Officer, received a cash bonus based
on the achievement of specific performance criteria, in amounts ranging from 14%
to approximately 20% of base salary for executive officers other than the Chief
Executive Officer and a cash bonus of approximately 28% of base salary was paid
to the Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Bonus Plan,
officers were eligible for cash bonuses only if the Company achieved certain
operating
59
<PAGE>
plan objectives. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company met these
objectives and executive officers became eligible for cash bonuses based on
specific individual performance objectives. Each quarter, each officer
establishes operating objectives for functional area of business for which such
officer is responsible . During the year, officers are rated on the attainment
of those objectives which provide the basis for determining the cash bonuses to
be paid under the Bonus Plan.
3. EQUITY BASED INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. Long-term incentives for the
Company's employees are provided under the Company's stock option plans. Each
fiscal year, the Committee considers the desirability of granting to executive
officers long-term incentives in the form of stock options. These option grants
are intended to motivate the executive officers to manage the business to
improve long-term Company performance and align the financial interests of the
management team with the Company and its stockholders. The Committee established
the grants of stock options to selected executive officers (other than the Chief
Executive Officer) in the Last Fiscal Year, based upon a review with the Chief
Executive Officer of proposed individual awards, taking into account each
officer's scope of responsibility and specific assignments, strategic and
operational goals applicable to the officer, anticipated performance
requirements and contributions of the officer and competitive data for similar
positions. The Committee independently reviewed these same factors in
determining the option grant to the Chief Executive Officer. During the Last
Fiscal Year, an option award of 40,000 shares of Common Stock was granted to the
Chief Executive Officer. This was the only option grant made to the Chief
Executive Officer since September 7, 1995. All stock options granted to
executive officers in the Last Fiscal Year provide for vesting over a four-year
period.

holiday, then the meeting shall be held at the same time and place on the next
succeeding full business day. At the meeting, directors shall be elected, and
any other proper business may be transacted.
<PAGE>
2.3 SPECIAL MEETING
A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the
board of directors, or by the chairman of the board, or by the president. No
other person or persons are permitted to call a special meeting.
If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the
board of directors, then the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of
such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted,
and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic
or other facsimile transmission to the chairman of the board, the president, or
the secretary of the corporation. The officer receiving the request shall cause
notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.6 of these bylaws, that a meeting will
be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, so
long as that time is not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60)
days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is not given within twenty
(20) days after receipt of the request, then the person or persons requesting
the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this
Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a
meeting of stockholders called by action of the board of directors may be held.
2.4 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS
All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in
accordance with Section 2.6 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than
sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall specify the
place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting,

annual meeting, those matters which the board of directors, at the time of
giving the notice, intends to present for action by the stockholders (but any
proper matter may be presented at the meeting for such action). The notice of
any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any
nominee or nominees who, at the time of the notice, the board intends to present
for election.

-2-
<PAGE>
may be made by the board of directors or proxy committee appointed by the board
of directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors
generally if such nomination or business proposed is otherwise proper business
before such meeting. However, any such stockholder may nominate one or more
persons for election as directors at a meeting or propose business to be brought
before a meeting, or both, only if such stockholder has given timely notice in
proper written form of their intent to make such nomination or nominations or to
propose such business. To be timely, such stockholder's notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of
the date specified in the corporation's proxy statement released to stockholders
in connection with the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided,
however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year
or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days
from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement,
notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received a reasonable time
before the solicitation is made. To be in proper form, a stockholder's notice
to the secretary shall set forth:
(i) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the
nominations or propose the business and, as the case may be, of the
person or persons to be nominated or of the business to be proposed;
(ii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of
stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and, if
applicable, intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to
nominate the person or persons specified in the notice;
(iii) if applicable, a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other
person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which
the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder;
(iv) such other information regarding each nominee or each matter of
business to be proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be
included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission had the nominee been nominated, or
intended to be nominated, or the matter been proposed, or intended to
be proposed by the board of directors; and
(v) if applicable, the consent of each nominee to serve as director
of the corporation if so elected.
The chairman of the meeting shall refuse to acknowledge the nomination of
any person or the proposal of any business not made in compliance with the
foregoing procedure.

2.6 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE
Written notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either
personally or by first-class mail or by telegraphic or other written
communication. Notices not personally delivered shall be sent charges prepaid
and shall be addressed to the stockholder at the address of that stockholder
appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the
corporation for the purpose of notice. Notice shall be deemed to have been
given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by
telegram or other means of written communication.
An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any
stockholders' meeting, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any
transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie
evidence of the giving of such notice.
2.7 QUORUM
The holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the
transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the
certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or
represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairman of
the meeting or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person
or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting in accordance
with Section 2.7 of these bylaws.
When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a
majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by
proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question
is one upon which, by express provision of the laws of the State of Delaware or
of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a different vote is
required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the
decision of the question.
If a quorum be initially present, the stockholders may continue to transact
business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken is approved by a
majority of the stockholders initially constituting the quorum.
2.8 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, unless these bylaws
otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time
and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that
might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for
more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is
fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

2.9 VOTING
The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws,
subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law
of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint
owners, and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).
Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or
these bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of
capital stock held by such stockholder and stockholders shall not be entitled to
cumulate their votes in the election of directors or with respect to any matter
submitted to a vote of the stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the stockholders of the corporation are
entitled, pursuant to Sections 2115 and 301.5 of the California Corporations
Code, to cumulate their votes in the election of directors, each such
stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any candidate a
number of votes greater than the number of votes that such stockholder normally
is entitled to cast) only if the candidates' names have been properly placed in
nomination (in accordance with these bylaws) prior to commencement of the
voting, and the stockholder requesting cumulative voting has given notice prior
to commencement of the voting of the stockholder's intention to cumulate votes.
If cumulative voting is properly requested, each holder of stock, or of any
class or classes or of a series or series thereof, who elects to cumulate votes
shall be entitled to as many votes as equals the number of votes that (absent
this provision as to cumulative voting) he or she would be entitled to cast for
the election of directors with respect to his or her shares of stock multiplied
by the number of directors to be elected by him, and he or she may cast all of
such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to
be voted for, or for any two or more of them, as he or she may see fit.
2.10 STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action
required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted. Such consents shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its
registered office in the state of Delaware, its principal place of business, or
an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which
proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the
corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested.

-5-
<PAGE>
For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any
meeting or to vote thereat, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record
date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the
record date is adopted by the board of directors and which shall not be more
than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any such
meeting, and in such event only stockholders of record on the date so fixed are
entitled to notice and to vote, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on
the books of the corporation after the record date.
If the board of directors does not so fix a record date, the record date
for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next
preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the
close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the
meeting is held.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote
at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting
unless the board of directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting,
but the board of directors shall fix a new record date if the meeting is
adjourned for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for the original
meeting.
The record date for any other purpose shall be as provided in Section 8.1
of these bylaws.
2.12 PROXIES
Every person entitled to vote for directors, or on any other matter, shall
have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by
a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the secretary of the
corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3)
years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy
shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether
by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission, telecopy or
otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's attorney-in-fact. The
revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be
governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware.

The president, or in the absence of the president, the chairman of the
board, or, in the absence of the president and the chairman of the board, one of
the corporation's vice presidents, shall call the meeting of the stockholders to
order, and shall act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the
president, the chairman of the board, and all of the vice presidents, the
stockholders shall appoint a chairman for such meeting. The chairman of any
meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedures
at the meeting, including such matters as the regulation of the manner of voting
and the conduct of business. The secretary of the corporation shall act as
secretary of all meetings of the stockholders, but in the absence of the

prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in
alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number
of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open
to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to
the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held,
which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be
produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
2.15 WAIVER OF NOTICE
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or these
bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting
of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so
required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
3.1 POWERS
Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and to
any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws relating to
action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares,
the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate
powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors.
3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
The board of directors shall consist of six (6) members. The number of
directors may be changed by an amendment to this bylaw, duly adopted by the
board of directors or by the stockholders, or by a duly adopted amendment to the
certificate of incorporation. The directors shall
-7-
<PAGE>
be divided into three classes, with the term of office of the first class, which
class shall initially consist of two directors, to expire at the first annual
meeting of stockholders held after June 4, 1996; the term of office of the
second class, which class shall initially consist of two directors, to expire at
the second annual meeting of stockholders held after June 4, 1996; the term of
office of the third class, which class shall initially consist of two directors,
to expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders held after June 4, 1996;
and thereafter for each such term to expire at each third succeeding annual
meeting of stockholders held after such election.
3.3 ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS
Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, directors shall be
elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office as provided in
Section 3.2 of these bylaws. Each director, including a director elected or
appointed to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term
for which elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.
3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES
Any director may resign effective on giving written notice to the chairman
of the board, the president, the secretary or the board of directors, unless the
notice specifies a later time for that resignation to become effective. If the
resignation of a director is effective at a future time, the board of directors
may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.
Vacancies in the board of directors may be filled by a majority of the
remaining directors, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining
director; however, a vacancy created by the removal of a director by the vote of
the stockholders or by court order may be filled only by the affirmative vote of
a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which
a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute a
majority of the required quorum). Each director so elected shall hold office
for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of the stockholders at which the
term of office of the class to which such director has been elected expires.
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these
bylaws:
(i) Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any
increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the
stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a
majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a
sole remaining director.
(ii) Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or
series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of
the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of
such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the
-8-
<PAGE>
directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or
by a sole remaining director so elected.
If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the
corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any
stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder,
or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate
of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with
the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or may apply
to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided
in Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship,
the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board
(as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of
Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at
least ten (10) percent of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding
having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be
held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace
the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which
election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware as far as applicable.
3.5 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the certificate of incorporation
or by these bylaws, any director or the entire board of directors may be
removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then
entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, however, that, if and so
long as stockholders of the corporation are entitled to cumulative voting, if
less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without
cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if
then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors.
3.6 PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE
Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held at any place within
or outside the State of Delaware that has been designated from time to time by

meetings of the board may be held at any place within or outside the State of
Delaware that has been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if not stated
in the notice or if there is no notice, at the principal executive office of the
corporation.

telephone or similar communication equipment, so long as all directors
participating in the meeting can hear one another; and all such participating
directors shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

the event such meeting is not held at the time and place so fixed by the

3.14 BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors may

the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors.

ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL MATTERS
8.1 RECORD DATE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN NOTICE AND VOTING
For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive payment of
any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the
stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change,
conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action,
the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and
which shall not be more than sixty (60) days before any such action. In that
case, only stockholders of record at the close of business on the date so fixed
are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights, or to
exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any
shares on the books of the corporation after the record date so fixed, except as
otherwise provided by law.
If the board of directors does not so fix a record date, then the record
date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of
business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the applicable
resolution.
8.2 CHECKS; DRAFTS; EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS
From time to time, the board of directors shall determine by resolution
which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for
payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in
the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized
shall sign or endorse those instruments.
8.3 CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS: HOW EXECUTED
The board of directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may
authorize and empower any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into
any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the
corporation; such power and authority may be general or confined to specific
instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within
the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any
power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to
pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.
8.4 STOCK CERTIFICATES; TRANSFER; PARTLY PAID SHARES
The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates,
provided that the board of directors of the corporation may provide by
resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of
its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply
to
-21-
<PAGE>
shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to
the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the board
of directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and, upon
request, every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to have a
certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the chairman or
vice-chairman of the board of directors, or the president or vice-president, and
by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant
secretary of such corporation representing the number of shares registered in
certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a
facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or
whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be
such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it
may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
Certificates for shares shall be of such form and device as the board of
directors may designate and shall state the name of the record holder of the
shares represented thereby; its number; date of issuance; the number of shares
for which it is issued; a summary statement or reference to the powers,
designations, preferences or other special rights of such stock and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights,
if any; a statement or summary of liens, if any; a conspicuous notice of
restrictions upon transfer or registration of transfer, if any; a statement as
to any applicable voting trust agreement; if the shares be assessable, or, if
assessments are collectible by personal action, a plain statement of such facts.
Upon surrender to the secretary or transfer agent of the corporation of a
certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the
corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel
the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.
The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly
paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid
therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent
any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the corporation in
the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the
consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated.
Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall
declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the
basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.
8.5 SPECIAL DESIGNATION ON CERTIFICATES
If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or
more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the
preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of
each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or
summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall
issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that,
except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law
-22-
<PAGE>
of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the
face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent
such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish
without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations,
the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special
rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
8.6 LOST CERTIFICATES
Except as provided in this Section 8.6, no new certificates for shares
shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is
surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time. The board of
directors may, in case any share certificate or certificate for any other
security is lost, stolen or destroyed, authorize the issuance of replacement
certificates on such terms and conditions as the board may require; the board
may require indemnification of the corporation secured by a bond or other
adequate security sufficient to protect the corporation against any claim that
may be made against it, including any expense or liability, on account of the
alleged loss, theft or destruction of the certificate or the issuance of the
replacement certificate.
8.7 TRANSFER AGENTS AND REGISTRARS
The board of directors may appoint one or more transfer agents or transfer
clerks, and one or more registrars, each of which shall be an incorporated bank
or trust company, either domestic or foreign, who shall be appointed at such
times and places as the requirements of the corporation may necessitate and the
board of directors may designate.
8.8 CONSTRUCTION; DEFINITIONS
Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of
construction and definitions in the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall
govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of
this provision, as used in these bylaws, the singular number includes the
plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes
both an entity and a natural person.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS
The original or other bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended or
repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote or by the board of directors of
the corporation. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the
directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power
to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.
-23-
<PAGE>
Whenever an amendment or new bylaw is adopted, it shall be copied in the
book of bylaws with the original bylaws, in the appropriate place. If any bylaw
is repealed, the fact of repeal with the date of the meeting at which the repeal
was enacted or the filing of the operative written consent(s) shall be stated in
said book.

(c) EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION. The Administrator's
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of Options or Stock Purchase Rights.
5. ELIGIBILITY.
(a) Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be
granted to Employees and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted
only to Employees. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option or
Stock Purchase Right may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options
or Stock Purchase Rights.
(b) Each Option shall be designated in the written option agreement
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such
Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this
Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order
in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
-4-
<PAGE>
(c) Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuation of his or her
employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere
in any way with his or her right or the Company's right to terminate his or her
employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.
(d) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options to
Employees:
(i) No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the
Company, Options to purchase more than 750,000 Shares.
(ii) The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately
in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as described in
Section 12.
(iii) If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the
Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction
described in Section 12), the cancelled Option shall be counted against the
limit set forth in subsection (i) above. For this purpose, if the exercise
price of an Option is reduced, such reduction will be treated as a cancellation
of the Option and the grant of a new Option.
6. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company, as described in Section 17 of the Plan. It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under
Section 14 of the Plan.
7. TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than
ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive
Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the
Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter
term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.
8. OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.
(a) The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator,
but shall be subject to the following:
(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of
such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant.
(B) granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise
price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant.
(ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the par Share
exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator.
-5-
<PAGE>
(b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of (1) cash,
(2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which such Option shall be exercised, (5) delivery of a properly executed
exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and
a broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and
delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the
exercise price, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In
making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the
Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be
reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
9. EXERCISE OF OPTION.
(a) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria with respect
to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms
of the Plan.
An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of
such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) hereof. Until
the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company
or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate
evidencing such Shares, no right to vote, receive dividends or any other rights
as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding
the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued)
such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment
shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior
to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 12
hereof.
Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.
(b) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP. Upon
termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant,
other than upon the Optionee's death or total and permanent disability, as
defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code ("Disability"), the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the
Notice of Grant to the extent that he or she is entitled to exercise it on the
date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). In the absence of a specified
time in the Notice of Grant, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3)
months following the Optionee's termination. In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, such period of time for exercise shall not exceed three (3) months from
the date of termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not
entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after
termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares
covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
-6-
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the above, in the event of an Optionee's change in
status from Consultant to Employee or Employee to Consultant, the Optionee's
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant shall not automatically terminate
solely as a result of such change in status. In such event, an Incentive Stock
Option held by the Optionee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock
Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option
three months and one day following such change of status.
(c) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. Upon termination of an Optionee's
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of the Optionee's
Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option at any time within
twelve (12) months from the date of termination, but only to the extent that the
Optionee is entitled to exercise it on the date of termination (and in no event
later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Notice
of Grant). If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.
(d) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. Upon the death of an Optionee, the Option may
be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death
(but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who
acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to
the extent that the Optionee would have been entitled to exercise the Option on
the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Optionee's
estate or the person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to
the Plan.
(e) BUYOUT PROVISIONS. The Administrator may at any time offer to
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.
10. STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.
(a) RIGHTS TO PURCHASE. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan
and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines
that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the
offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to
purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such person must
accept such offer, which shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days from the date
upon which the Administrator makes the determination to grant the Stock Purchase
Right. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock purchase
agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. Shares purchased
pursuant to the grant of a Stock Purchase Right shall be referred to herein as
"Restricted Stock."
-7-
<PAGE>
(b) REPURCHASE OPTION. Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of
the purchaser's employment with the Company for any reason (including death or
disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be the original price paid by the
purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser
to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the
Administrator may determine.
(c) OTHER PROVISIONS. The Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In
addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock purchase agreements need not be the
same with respect to each purchaser.
(d) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Once the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a shareholder
and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records
of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 12 of
the Plan.
11. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS. Unless
determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option or Stock Purchase Right may
not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the
Administrator makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option
or Stock Purchase Right shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.
12. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR MERGER.
(a) CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of
Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have
been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each
such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt
of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock
Purchase Right.
-8-
<PAGE>
(b) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as
to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any
Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such Shares,
provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in
the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an
Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action.
(c) MERGER OR ASSET SALE. In the event of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be
assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the
event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the
Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise
the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
Shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If an Option or Stock
Purchase Right is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event
of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee that
the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of
fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Purchase
Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed
if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the
right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the
Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or sale of
assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each
Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered
a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not solely common
stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with
the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share
of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market
value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the
merger or sale of assets.
13. DATE OF GRANT. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date
as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be
given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right
is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
(a) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Company shall obtain shareholder
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Applicable Laws.
-9-
<PAGE>
(c) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
15. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the
exercise of such Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of
such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with Applicable Laws, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.
As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right,
the Company may require the person exercising such Option or Stock Purchase
Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares
are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to
sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned relevant
provisions of law.
16. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
17. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to
approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or
after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal law and the
rules of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed.

1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants

Agreement (the "Optionee") an option (the "Option") to purchase the number of
Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set

conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to
Section 14(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and
conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement,
the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.
If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option
("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under
Section 422 of the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section
422(d) it shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").
2. EXERCISE OF OPTION.
(a) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. This Option is exercisable during its term in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and the
applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. In the event of
Optionee's death, Disability or other termination of Optionee's employment or
consulting relationship, the exercisability of the Option is governed by the
applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.
(b) METHOD OF EXERCISE. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an
exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"),
which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in
respect of which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised Shares"), and
such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be signed by
the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the
Secretary of the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall
be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed
Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.
-2-
<PAGE>
No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law
and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the
Shares are then listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the
Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the
Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.
3. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be
by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:
(a) cash;
(b) check;
(c) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable,
shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of
the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price; or
(d) surrender of other Shares which (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender, AND (ii) have a Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised
Shares.
4. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be transferred in
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. The
terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.
5. TERM OF OPTION. This Option may be exercised only within the term set
out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.
6. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Some of the federal and state tax consequences
relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below.
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
(a) EXERCISING THE OPTION.
(i) NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION. The Optionee may incur regular
federal income tax and state tax liability upon exercise of a NSO. The Optionee
will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary
income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price.
If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be
required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and
pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage
of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the
exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not
delivered at the time of exercise.
-3-
<PAGE>
(ii) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION. If this Option qualifies as an
ISO, the Optionee will have no regular federal income tax or state income tax
liability upon its exercise, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market
Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate
Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to alternative minimum taxable
income for federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to alternative
minimum tax in the year of exercise. In the event that the Optionee undergoes a
change of status from Employee to Consultant, any Incentive Stock Option of the
Optionee that remains unexercised shall cease to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option on
the ninety-first (91st) day following such change of status.
(b) DISPOSITION OF SHARES.
(i) NSO. If the Optionee holds NSO Shares for at least one
year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-
term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.
(ii) ISO. If the Optionee holds ISO Shares for at least one
year after exercise and two years after the grant date, any gain realized on
disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal
income tax purposes. If the Optionee disposes of ISO Shares within one year
after exercise or two years after the grant date, any gain realized on such
disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income
rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the lesser of (A) the difference
between the Fair Market Value of the Shares acquired on the date of exercise and
the aggregate Exercise Price, or (B) the difference between the sale price of
such Shares and the aggregate Exercise Price.
(c) NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF ISO SHARES. If the
Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to
an ISO on or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one
year after the exercise date, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company
in writing of such disposition. The Optionee agrees that he or she may be
subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized from such early disposition of ISO Shares by payment in cash or out
of the current earnings paid to the Optionee.
7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; GOVERNING LAW. The Plan is incorporated herein by
reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their
entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the
Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and
Optionee. This agreement is governed by California law except for that body of
law pertaining to conflict of laws.
8. NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE
VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY
CONTINUING SERVICE AS AN EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND
NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES
HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO
NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN
EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND
SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
OPTIONEE'S EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT
CAUSE.
