develop, manufacture and market catheters and stents used to treat certain
vascular diseases. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair

2.   Net Loss Per Share

As of December 31, 1997, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. Statement No. 128 replaced the

4.   Deferred License Revenue

In June of 1998, the Company signed a technology license agreement with Guidant
Corporation, an international interventional cardiology products company, to
grant them the ability to manufacture and distribute stent delivery products
using the Company's focal technology. Under the Agreement, the Company is
entitled to receive certain milestone payments based upon the transfer of the
technology to Guidant, and royalty payments based upon the sale of products
using the focal technology. An initial license payment of $2.0 million was
received by the Company upon the signing of the Agreement. Based upon the
completion of certain initial technology transfer milestones, the Company
recognized $1.2 million and $1.6 million in license revenue in the third quarter
and first nine months of 1998, respectively, and will recognize the remaining
$0.4 million of deferred license revenue in future periods. In October of 1998,
the Company received another $1.0 million license milestone payment upon the
completion of the technology transfer to Guidant.

5.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For the year beginning January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
("Statement No. 130"). Statement No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components with the same prominence as
other financial statement information. For the periods ending September 30, 1998
and 1997, the changes in the components of comprehensive income were not
materially different than the reported net loss.

For the year beginning January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, which concerns disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement No. 131").
Statement No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in annual and
interim financial statements. However, as the Company operates in one business
segment, no additional interim reporting is required under Statement No. 131.

In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed for or Obtained for Internal Use. The SOP is effective

beginning January 1, 1999 and requires the capitalization of certain costs
incurred after the date of adoption in connection with developing or obtaining
software for internal use. The Company currently expenses such costs, and it
anticipates that the impact of the SOP will not be material on its results of
operations or financial position for the foreseeable future as amounts expended
to develop or obtain software have not been and are not expected to be material.

6.   Acquisitions

In September 1998, the Company exercised warrants to purchase an additional
1,500,000 Preferred Series B shares in Radiance Medical Systems, Inc.
("Radiance") for $0.975 per share or a total of $1.5 million, bringing CVD's
ownership of the outstanding equity of Radiance to above 50%. Radiance was
incorporated in August 1997 to develop radiation products to treat restenosis
based on CVD's patented focal delivery systems technology. In consideration for
the granting by CVD of a license to this technology, Radiance issued to CVD
750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a Warrant to purchase 1,500,000
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, rights of first offer with respect to the
commercialization of Radiance's products, and a promise to receive royalties on
sales of products based upon the licensed technology.

In November 1998, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with
Radiance, whereby CVD will acquire all of the outstanding shares which it does
not already own, subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies.
Under the terms of the agreement, on the effective date of the merger, CVD will
pay the shareholders of Radiance $3.00 for each share of Preferred Stock and
$2.00 for each share of Common Stock for a total consideration of approximately
$7.0 million, excluding the value of CVD stock options to be provided to
Radiance employees in exchange for their Radiance stock options. The Radiance
common stock options outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the merger
will accelerate, vest and be converted into an option to acquire $2.00 of CVD
Common Stock. In addition, Radiance share and option holders may receive product
development milestone payments of $2.00 for each share of Preferred Stock and
$3.00 for each share of Common Stock. The aforementioned development milestone
payments may be increased up to 30%, or reduced or eliminated if the milestones
are reached earlier or later, respectively, than the milestone target dates.
Lastly, the merger consideration paid is subject to certain price adjustment and
collar provisions and, at CVD's option,

6.   Acquisitions (continued)

CVD may pay up to 30% of the consideration due to Radiance Preferred
shareholders in cash.

Proforma combined results of the Company and Radiance for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1998, on the basis that the acquisition had
taken place at the beginning of 1998, would have reported the following:

Operating results for Radiance for the period from inception in August 1997 to
September 30, 1997 were immaterial; therefore, pro forma operating results are
not presented for the quarter and nine month periods ending September 30, 1997.

In July 1997, the Company acquired its independent distributor in Germany and
Switzerland, Clinitec GmbH ("Clinitec"). In exchange for the assumption of the
assets and liabilities of Clinitec, including bank debt of $0.3 million, the
Company acquired all of the common stock of Clinitec. At the time of the
acquisition, Clinitec had a deficiency in stockholder's equity of approximately
$0.5 million.

Pro forma combined results of the Company and Clinitec for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1997 on the basis that the acquisition had
taken place at the beginning of 1997, would have reported the following:

7.   Other Significant and Subsequent Events

In October 1998, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell its Vascular
Access Business Unit to Escalon Medical Corporation. Under the terms of the
letter of intent, CVD will receive an initial payment upon the signing of an
agreement to sell the business, a milestone payment upon the transferring of the
assets and technology, and royalty payments upon the sale of products for a
five-year period following the execution of the agreement. The sale is subject
to various conditions, including the negotiation and execution of a definitive
sale agreement.

In July 1996, the Company and Medtronic, Inc. ("Medtronic") entered into a
written OEM agreement ("Agreement") pursuant to which Medtronic was to purchase
certain angioplasty balloon catheters and related components from the Company.
In May 1997, Medtronic advised the Company of its election to not make minimum
purchases of product for the second year of the Agreement. This dispute
adversely affected the Company's financial results for the quarter and
nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 and the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1998.

Overview

Since its inception in 1992, CardioVascular Dynamics, Inc. has engaged primarily
in the research and development of products for the treatment of cardiovascular
disease. The Company's financial results will be affected in the future by
several factors, including the timing of any FDA approval to market the
Company's products, FDA approval of IDE sites and the number of patients
permitted to be treated, future changes in government regulations and third
party reimbursement policies applicable to the Company's products, the progress
of competing technologies and the ability of the Company to develop the
manufacturing and marketing capabilities necessary to support commercial sales.
As a result of these factors, revenue levels, gross margins and operating
results may fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter.

On July 15, 1996, the Company entered into co-distribution agreements with
Medtronic, providing for the co-distribution of the Company's FACT, CAT and ARC
balloon angioplasty catheters. Under the terms of these agreements, Medtronic
was to purchase a minimum number of angioplasty catheters manufactured by the
Company for distribution worldwide for a period of up to three years. Specific
products to be distributed by Medtronic would differ in individual country
markets. The initial term of the Medtronic agreements was for a period of three
years from the date of first delivery of a product. In May of 1997, Medtronic
advised the Company of its election to not make minimum purchases of product for
the second year of the

        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

agreement. In June 1997 Medtronic informed CVD that it would not fulfill its
commitment for the first year of the agreement and that it did not believe it
was required to fulfill such commitment. This dispute adversely affected the
Company's financial results for the quarter and nine-month periods of 1997 and
1998.

In June 1998, the Company signed a technology license agreement with Guidant
Corporation, an international interventional cardiology products company, to
grant them the ability to manufacture and distribute products using the
Company's focal technology. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is
entitled to receive certain milestone payments based upon the transfer of the
technological knowledge to Guidant, and royalty payments based upon the sale of
products using focal technology by Guidant. See Note 4 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 1997, CVD incorporated Radiance Medical Systems, Inc. ("Radiance") to
focus on the development of radiation technology for treating and preventing
restenosis based on CVD's patented focal delivery systems technology. In
September 1997, Radiance issued to CVD 750,000 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, a warrant to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock at a price equal to the lower of: (i) $2.05 per share, or (ii)
One and one-half times the per share price of Radiance stock sold in its then
most recent equity financing. In addition, Radiance granted to CVD the rights of
first offer with respect to the commercialization of Radiance's products, and
promised the payment of royalties on sales of products based upon the licensed
technology.

In September 1998, the Company exercised its warrant to purchase 1,500,000
Series B Preferred of Radiance, bringing CVD's ownership of the outstanding
equity of Radiance to above 50%.

In November 1998, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with
Radiance, whereby CVD will acquire all of the outstanding shares it does not
already own, subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies.
Under the terms of the Agreement, on the effective date of the merger, CVD will
pay the shareholders of Radiance total consideration of approximately $7.0
million, excluding the value of CVD options to be issued to Radiance employees
in exchange for their Radiance stock options. Radiance Common Stock Options
outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the merger will accelerate, vest
and be converted into an option to acquire $2.00 of CVD Common Stock for an
aggregate value of approximately $1.1 million. In addition, Radiance share and
option

        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

holders may receive product development milestone payments of $2.00 for each
share of Preferred Stock and $3.00 for each share of Common Stock. The milestone
payments may be increased up to 30%, or reduced or eliminated if the milestones
are reached earlier or later, respectively, than the milestone target dates. See
Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Third quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997

Revenue for the third quarter of 1998 increased 29% to $3.3 million compared to
$2.6 million for the third quarter of 1997. The increase resulted primarily from
$1.2 million in license revenue recognized in the third quarter of 1998. Product
revenues decreased 18% to $2.1 million compared to $2.6 million for the third
quarter of 1997. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower domestic sales
as co-exclusive rights to sell focus technology products in the domestic market,
along with the technology license, were transferred to Guidant under
aforementioned license agreement, and secondarily attributable to the turnover
of certain distributor relationships in Europe.

The gross profit percentage for the third quarter of 1998 increased to 49%
compared to 45% of revenues for the same period of 1997. The increase is
attributable primarily to the inclusion in revenues for the third quarter of
1998 product license fees of $1.2 million that had no associated cost of sales,
offset by the recognition of $0.5 million in inventory obsolescence reserves.

Research, development and clinical expenses were $1.6 million in the quarters
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. During the quarter, the company continued
efforts to develop its SEAL technology stent products and expects the
expenditures to increase in the fourth quarter and in 1999 as the technology is
developed for clinical trials. The SEAL technology involves a new concept in
vascular stenting and is designed to line a significant portion of the diseased
vessel wall with metal to attempt to reduce restenosis. At any time during the
development process, work on this technology could be halted or restarted under
a different design, for example, unless the efficacy of the design and
technology is proven at each stage of its development. There is no certainty
that the technology will ever reach the market or produce material sales due to
many risks, including competitor development of superior technologies or
products, an unrecoverable product cost, lack of product

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

reimbursement, the uncertainty of regulatory approval and other factors
mentioned below concerning the risks associated with CVD's operations within
this market.

Marketing and sales expenses decreased 31% to $1.2 million, down $0.6 million in
the quarter ended September 30, 1998, compared to $1.8 million in the same
period of 1997. This decrease primarily reflects reductions in the Company's
domestic sales force and related expenses. 

General and administrative expenses increased by 43% to $0.7 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998, from $0.5 million for the same quarter in
1997. The increase was due primarily to additions to the allowance for
uncollectible accounts receivable and the salary expense of an additional 
executive officer.

Interest income decreased 32% to $0.4 million in the third quarter of 1998 from
$0.6 million for the same period of 1997. The decrease was due primarily to the
use of funds for operations and, secondarily, due to the purchase of property
and equipment and treasury stock, resulting in a reduction in cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities of 45% ($10.6 million) from September 30,
1997 to September 30, 1998, excluding the cash of Radiance.

First nine months of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997

Revenue for the first nine months of 1998 decreased 3% to $8.6 million compared
to $8.9 million for the same period of 1997. The revenue decrease was primarily
due to the change in product revenues, which decreased 21% to $7.0 million in
the first nine months of 1998 compared to $8.9 million for the same period in
1997. The decrease resulted primarily from sales to one large former
international distributor of approximately $1.5 million made in the first nine
months of 1997. Revenue for the first nine months of 1998 included $1.6 million
from certain product licensing fees paid by Guidant Corporation.

The gross profit percentage for the first nine months of 1998 decreased to 50%
compared to 51% for the same period of 1997. Although revenue for the first nine
months of 1998 included $1.6 million from licensing fees that had no associated
cost of sales, the gross profit percentage decreased, compared with the same
period of 1997, primarily due to increases in the Company's provision for
inventory obsolescence.

Research, development and clinical expenses increased by 44% to $5.0 million in
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 from $3.5 million in the same
period

<PAGE>   15

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

ended September 30, 1997. The primary reason for this increase was additional
spending on development of the Company's new SEAL technology stent products and
increased spending on clinical trials for these products.

Marketing and sales expenses declined 21% to $3.8 million, from $4.8 million in
the nine month period ended September 30, 1997. This decrease primarily reflects
reductions in the Company's domestic sales force and related expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by 47% to $1.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.3 million for the same period in
1997. The increase was due primarily to additions to the allowance for
uncollectible accounts receivable and the salary expense of an additional
executive officer.

Interest income declined to $1.2 million in the first nine months of 1998
compared with $1.7 million in the same period of 1997. The decrease was due to a
reduction of $10.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities since September 30, 1997, excluding the cash of Radiance, due to the
use of funds for operations, the purchase of treasury stock and capital
expenditures.

The Company has experienced an operating loss for each of the last five years.
After considering the anticipated operating losses of Radiance, the Company
expects to continue to incur consolidated operating losses through at least
2000, and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
achieve or sustain profitability in the future. CVD's results of operations have
varied significantly from quarter to quarter. Quarterly operating results will
depend upon several factors, including the timing and amount of expenses
associated with expanding the Company's operations, the conduct of clinical
trials and the timing of regulatory approvals, new product introductions both in
the United States and internationally, the mix between pilot production of new
products and full-scale manufacturing of existing products, the mix between
domestic and export sales, variations in foreign exchange rates, changes in
third-party payors' reimbursement policies and healthcare reform. The Company
does not operate with a significant backlog of customer orders, and therefore
revenues in any quarter are significantly dependent on orders received within
that quarter. In addition, the Company cannot predict ordering rates by
distributors, some of whom place infrequent stocking orders. The Company's
expenses are relatively fixed and difficult to adjust in response to fluctuating
revenues. As a result of these and other factors, the Company expects to
continue to experience significant fluctuations in quarterly operating results,
and

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain
profitability in the future.

The Company has completed an assessment, has upgraded, and must upgrade portions
of its hardware and software so that its computer systems will function properly
with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. Of the total Year 2000
project cost estimated at $15,000, approximately $5,000 has been expended and
future expenditures for upgrades and other project costs are not expected to
exceed said estimate by a material amount. The project is estimated to be
completed not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated
impact on the operating systems.

In addressing the Year 2000 Issue, the Company will also be contacting its
vendors and customers to assess the impact that they will have on the Company's
operations and whether the Company will be able to meet their needs. Based upon
our assessment of the Company's systems and software, we believe that the
planned system enhancements and upgrades should prevent related problems that
could affect our ability to supply or service our customers. However, there can
be no assurance that all of our systems and software will be Year 2000 ready.
There is also no assurance that our vendor's systems and software will be Year
2000 ready. In an effort to prepare for any vendor problems we will be
attempting to identify alternative supply sources. However, there can be no
assurance that the alternative sources will be Year 2000 ready or be able to
provide the same level of service and supply as our current vendors. Even if the
Company's project to be Year 2000 ready is completed by the end of 1998, there
can be no assurance that such plans will be sufficient to address any third
party failures or that unresolved or undetected internal and external Year 200
issues will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through
the sale of its equity securities. Prior to the Company's initial public
offering on June 19, 1996, the Company raised approximately $11.4 million from
the private sales of preferred and common stock and $2.7 million in working
capital advances from Endosonics Corporation (CVD's former parent company). The
Company repaid Endosonics Corporation during the third quarter of 1996.

<PAGE>   17


Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

On June 19, 1996, the Company closed its initial public offering, which
consisted of the sale of 3,400,000 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share.
On July 17, 1996, the Company's underwriters exercised their overallotment
option to purchase an additional 510,000 shares of common stock at $12.00 per
share. CVD received net offering proceeds from the sale of common stock of
approximately $42.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and other expenses of the offering.

On September 30, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities available for sale of $26.9 million. Net cash used in operating
activities was $3.3 million for the first nine months of 1998 as compared to
$7.2 million for the same period of 1997. The Company expects to incur
substantial costs related to, among other things, clinical testing, product
development, marketing and sales expenses, and increased working capital, prior
to achieving positive cash flow from operations. The Company anticipates that
its existing capital resources will sufficient to fund its operations through
the first quarter of 2000; however, if the anticipated acquisition of Radiance
is consummated, the amount of capital resources expended, especially for
clinical tests and research and development, will be substantial, and the
Company may not be able to fund its operations from its existing capital
resources in the year 2001 or sooner. The timing and extent of expenditures for
the research and development and testing of Radiance technology will be
dependent upon many variables, including but not limited to the success of the
research and development and clinical testing process, changes in the
competitive environment, internal resource allocations and external resource
availability. CVD's future capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including its research and development programs, the scope and results of
clinical trials, the regulatory approval process, the costs involved in
intellectual property rights enforcement or litigation, competitive products,
the establishment of manufacturing capacity, the establishment of sales and
marketing capabilities, and the establishment of collaborative relationships
with other parties. The Company may need to raise funds through additional
financings, including private or public equity offerings and collaborative
arrangements with existing or new corporate partners. There can be no assurance
that funds will be raised on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are
not available, the Company may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one
or more of its development programs or obtain funds through arrangements with
collaborative partners or others that may require the Company to grant rights to
certain technologies or products that the Company would not otherwise grant.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Trade accounts receivable, net, decreased 20% to $2.2 million as of September
30, 1998, compared with $2.8 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in the product sales levels for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 compared with sales for the same period of 1997.

Inventories decreased 27% to $2.3 million as of September 30, 1998, compared
with $3.2 million at December 31, 1997. This decrease resulted from inventory
obsolescence reserves and lower production levels associated with the lower
level of sales. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased 7% to $1.3
million at September 30, 1998, compared with $1.4 million at the end of 1997
primarily due to lower production levels.

Property and equipment, net, was unchanged at $1.5 million at December 31, 1997
and September 30, 1998 with capital additions of $0.3 million being offset by
depreciation expense of a similar amount in the nine months ended September 30,
1998.

Deferred license revenue resulted from a $2.0 million technology license revenue
payment paid by Guidant Corporation to the Company upon the signing of a
technology license agreement for the Company's focal technology. Based on the
completion of the technology transfer milestones, the Company will recognize the
remaining $0.4 million in deferred license revenue. See Note 4 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

(d)  Use of Proceeds

The Company has used approximately $2.7 million of the net proceeds from its
initial public offering on June 19, 1996, SEC file number 333-04560, the IPO for
repayment of certain outstanding indebtedness to Endosonics, Inc., a holder of
in excess of ten percent of the Common Stock of the Company. From the date of
the IPO until September 30, 1998, in the normal course of business, the Company
has paid salaries and bonuses in excess of $0.1 million each to seven officers
of the Company and used $6.3 million for working capital. The Company has also
used approximately $1.7 million of the net proceeds for machinery and equipment
and leasehold improvement purchases. Through the end of the third quarter of
1998, the Company used approximately $3.7 million to purchase 686,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock on the open market. In September of 1998, the Company
exercised a Warrant to acquire 1,500,000 Series B Preferred Stock of Radiance
Medical Systems, Inc. for $1.5 million. At September 30, 1998, approximately
$24.6 million was held in temporary investments, of which approximately $4.5
million was invested in U.S. Agency debt securities, $1.5 million was invested
in Canadian Government debt securities, and $18.6 million was invested in
corporate debt securities.

Stockholder Proposals

     Any stockholder desiring to submit a proposal for action at the 1999 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders and presentation in the Company's proxy statement with
respect to such meeting should arrange for such proposal to be delivered to the
Company's principal executive office, Attn: Secretary, Cardiovascular Dynamics,
Inc., 13700 Alton Parkway, Suite 160, Irvine, California 92618, no later than
December 16, 1998 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy
statement relating to the meeting. Matters pertaining to such proposals,
including the number and length thereof, eligibility of persons entitled to have
such proposals included and other aspects are regulated by the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and other laws and regulations to which interested persons should
refer.

     On May 21, 1998 the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an amendment
to Rule 14a-4, as promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The amendment to Rule 14a-4(C)(1) governs the Company's use of its
discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a stockholder proposal that
is not addressed in the Company's proxy statement. The new amendment provides
that if a proponent of a proposal fails to notify the Company at least 45 days
prior to the month and day of mailing of the prior year's proxy statement, then
the Company will be allowed to use its discretionary voting authority when the
proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the
proxy statement.

     With respect to the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if the
Company is not provided notice of a stockholder proposal, which the stockholder
has not previously sought to include in the Company's proxy statement, by March
1, 1999, the Company will be allowed to use its voting authority as outlined.

        (1) The Board of Directors of the Corporation, at a meeting of the Board
of Directors, duly adopted resolutions proposing and declaring advisable the

               "4. Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Common Stock shall
        have the right to one vote, and shall be entitled to notice of any
        stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation,
        and shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as
        may be provided by law."

        to add the following:

               "The Board of Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes,
        as nearly equal in number as possible, designated Class I, Class II and
        Class III. The number of directors constituting each Class shall be
        fixed from time to time by a resolution duly adopted by the Board of
        Directors. Class I directors shall hold office for an initial term

        directors shall hold office for an initial term expiring at the annual
        meeting of stockholders in 2000, and Class III directors shall hold
        office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in
        2001. At each annual meeting of stockholders held thereafter, directors

        Class whose terms then expire."

engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized
under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

                                   ARTICLE IV

        (A) CLASSES OF STOCK. This corporation is authorized to issue two
classes of stock, to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred
Stock." The total number of shares that this corporation is authorized to issue
is thirty seven million five hundred and sixty thousand (37,560,000). The number
of shares of Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is seven million five
hundred sixty thousand (7,560,000), par value $.001 per share, 2,060,000 of
which shares have been


<PAGE>   4

designated Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and 500,000
of which shares have been designated Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B
Preferred Stock"). The number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued
is thirty million (30,000,000), par value $.001 per share.

        Upon filing this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, 
each share of Common Stock shall be, and is, hereby reclassified and divided 
into two (2) shares of Common Stock.

        (B) RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE PREFERRED STOCK. The
Preferred Stock authorized by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be
issued from time to time in one or more series. The rights, preferences,
privileges, and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Series A Preferred
Stock, which series shall consist of 2,060,000 shares, and the Series B
Preferred Stock, which series shall consist of 500,000 shares, are as set forth
below in this Article IV(B). The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to fix
or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or
imposed upon additional series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares
constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or of any of them.
Subject to compliance with applicable protective voting rights which have been
or may be granted to the Preferred Stock or series thereof in Certificates of
Determination or the corporation's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
("Protective Provisions"), but notwithstanding any other rights of the Preferred
Stock or any series thereof, the rights, privileges, preferences and
restrictions of any such additional series may be subordinated to, pari passu
with (including, without limitation, inclusion in provisions with respect to
liquidation and acquisition preferences, redemption and/or approval of matters
by vote or written consent), or senior to any of those of any present or future
class or series of Preferred or Common Stock. Subject to compliance with
applicable Protective Provisions, the Board of Directors is also authorized to
increase or decrease the number of shares of any series (other than the Series A
Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock), prior or subsequent to the
issue of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then
outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased,
the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had
prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares
of such series.

        1. DIVIDEND PROVISIONS. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred
Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall, on a pari passu
basis, be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available
therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend
(payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible
into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock of this corporation) on the Common Stock of
this corporation, at the rate of $.50 per share per annum for the Series A
Preferred Stock, and $1.50 per share per annum for the Series B Preferred Stock,
or, if greater (as determined on a per annum basis and on an as converted basis
for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock), plus an amount
equal to that paid on any other outstanding shares of this corporation, payable
quarterly, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends
shall not be cumulative.

        2. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

            (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
this corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of
series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall, on a
pari passu basis, be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any
distribution of any of the assets of this corporation to the holders of Common
Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, (i) with respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to the sum of (A) $6.58 for each
outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Original Series A Issue
Price"), and (B) an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on such share;
and (ii) with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal
to the sum of (A) $20.00 for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock
(the "Original Series B Issue Price"), and (B) an amount equal to declared but
unpaid dividends on such share. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets
and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, subject to the rights
of series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the
entire assets and funds of this corporation legally available for distribution
shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by
each such holder.

            (b) After the distributions described in subsection (a) above have
been paid, subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from
time to time come into existence, the remaining assets of the corporation
available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the
holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock
held by each.

            (c)(i) For purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of this corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to
include (A) the acquisition of the corporation by another entity by means of any
transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation,
any reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any merger effected
exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the corporation); or (B)
a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation; unless the
corporation's shareholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such
acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue
of securities issued as consideration for the corporation's acquisition or sale
or otherwise) hold at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving or
acquiring entity.

                (ii) In any of such events, if the consideration received by the
corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value.
Any securities shall be valued as follows:

                    (A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other
similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:

                        (i) If traded on a securities exchange or through the
Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the thirty-day period
ending three (3) days prior to the closing;


                                      -3-

<PAGE>   6

                        (ii) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever
is applicable) over the thirty-day period ending three (3) days prior to the
closing; and

                        (iii) If there is no active public market, the value
shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the
corporation and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all
then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

                    (B) The method of valuation of securities subject to
investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than
restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholder's status as an affiliate
or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market
value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the appropriate fair
market value thereof, as mutually determined by the corporation and the holders
of at least a majority of voting power of all then outstanding shares of such
Preferred Stock.

                (iii) In the event the requirements of this subjection 2(c) are
not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either:

                    (A) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as
the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with; or

                    (B) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights,
preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights,
preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first
notice referred to in subsection 2(c)(iv) hereof.

                (iv) The corporation shall give each holder of record of Series
A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock written notice of such impending
transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the shareholders' meeting
called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of
such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in
writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices
shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction
and the provisions of this Section 2, and the corporation shall thereafter give
such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no
event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the corporation has given
the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the
corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein;
provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent
of the holders of Preferred Stock that are entitled to such notice rights or
similar notice rights and that represent at least a majority of the voting power
of all then outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock.

        3. CONVERSION. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion
Rights"):

            (a) RIGHT TO CONVERT. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder
thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of
this corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock, into such number fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price for such
series by the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such series. The
initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock shall be the Original Series A Issue Price and Original
Series B Issue Price, respectively.


                                     -4-


<PAGE>   7

            (b) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common
Stock at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such series immediately
upon the earlier of (A) the consummation of this corporation's sale of its
Common Stock in a bona fide, firm commitment underwriting pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the public offering price of which was $7,500,000 in the aggregate, or (B) the
date upon which this corporation obtains the consent of the holders of a
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted to Common
Stock basis.

            (c) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Series A Preferred
Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into
shares of Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or
certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of
any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock, and shall give written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to this
corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the
same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to
such holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, or to the
nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid.
Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close
of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock or Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares
of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an
underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series A
Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon
the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such
offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B
Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred
Stock or Series B Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such
sale of securities.

            (d) CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS OF PREFERRED STOCK. The Conversion
Price of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                (i) In the event this corporation should at any time or from
time to time after the date upon which this corporation first issued any shares
of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Purchase Date"), fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional


                                      -5-

<PAGE>   8
shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or
entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional
shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents")
without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of
Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such
record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if
no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to
such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those
issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.

                (ii) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the
Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
shares.

            (e) OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event this corporation shall declare
a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness
issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends)
or options or rights not referred to in subsection (3)(d)(i), then, in each such
case for the purpose of this subsection 3(e), the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a
proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of
the number of shares of Common Stock of this corporation into which their shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are convertible as of
the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of
this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

            (f) RECAPITALIZATIONS. If any time or from time to time there shall
be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination
or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 3
or Section 5) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Commons Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the
end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the
Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock ) shall
be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

            (g) NO IMPAIRMENT. This corporation will not, by amendment of this
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock against impairment.

<PAGE>   9

            (h) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES AND CERTIFICATES AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.

                (i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, and the number of shares
of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be
determined on the basis of the total number of Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate
conversion.

                (ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 3, this corporation, at its expense, shall promptly
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and
prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
This corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of
Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be
furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment or
readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number
of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the
time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred
Stock and Series B Preferred Stock .

            (i) NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by this
corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, this
corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock, at least 20 days prior
to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right,
and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

            (j) RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. This corporation
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
shares of the Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall
from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding
shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, in addition to such other
remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Stock, this
corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

            (k) NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 3
to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each
holder of record at his address appearing on the books of this corporation.


                                      -7-

        4. VOTING RIGHTS. The holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of
Common Stock into which such share could then be converted (with any fractional
share determined on an aggregate conversion basis being rounded to the nearest
whole share), and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting
rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common
Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of
any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the by-laws of this Corporation,
and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with
respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to
vote.

        5. PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred
Stock that may from time to time come into existence, this corporation shall not
without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by
law) of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred

Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

               SECTION 1. Each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of which he or she is the representative, is or was a director or officer of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to
do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of

amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such
amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than
said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against
all expense, liability and loss including attorneys' fees actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, and such
indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and
administrators; provided, however, that the corporation shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such
person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the
corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VIII shall
be a contract right and shall include the right to require the corporation, from
time to time, to advance any necessary and reasonable amounts for the
preparation and/or conduct of the defense incurred in defending any such
proceeding in advance of its final disposition unless otherwise determined by
the board of directors in the specific case and upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall be
ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide
indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope
and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

               SECTION 2. The rights to indemnification and the payment of
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition
conferred in this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which
any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the
certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in
any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under this Article VIII.

               SECTION 4. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing
provisions of this Article VIII and who are or were employees, fiduciaries or
agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the
corporation as directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be
indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the
board of directors.

               SECTION 5. The provisions of this Article VIII shall be deemed to
be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who
serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article VIII and the relevant
provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or other applicable law
are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article VIII or any such
law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any
state of facts or proceeding then existing.

incorporation, at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of
Directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of
Directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new
bylaws be contained in the notice of such special meeting. If the power to
adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the
certificate or incorporation it shall not divest or limit the power of the
stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.
