ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
Memry Corporation (referred to herein as “Memry” or the “Company”) was incorporated in 1981. Memry’s product lines consist of shape memory alloys (“SMAs”) and specialty polymer-extrusion products. The Company provides products primarily to the medical device industry using the Company’s proprietary shape memory alloy and polymer-extrusion technologies. Medical device products utilizing these technologies include stent components, catheter components, guidewires, laparoscopic surgical sub-assemblies, orthopedic instruments, urological devices and similar products. The Company also produces a limited number of products for the commercial and industrial market. In addition, the Company provides engineering services to assist customers in the development of products based on the properties of shape memory alloys and extruded polymers. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company began managing its business as two business segments: (i) Nitinol Products Segment, and (ii) Polymer Products Segment. Prior to that time, the Company had operated as one business segment. All years reflect the results based on these two business segments. See Note 17 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for revenues, gross profit and total assets for each business segment.
 
The Nitinol Products Segment provides design support, manufactures and markets advanced materials which possess the ability to change their shape in response to thermal and mechanical changes, and the ability to return to their original shape following deformations from which conventional materials cannot recover. The Nitinol Products Segment’s products are used in applications for stent components, filters, embolic protection devices, guidewires, catheters, surgical instruments and devices, orthopedic devices, orthodontic apparatus, high pressure sealing devices, fasteners, and other devices.
 
The Polymer Products Segment designs, manufactures and markets specialty polymer-extrusion products to companies serving the medical device, laser, fiber-optic, automotive and industrial markets. Its primary products are complex, multi-lumen, multi-layer extrusions used for guidewires, catheter shafts, delivery systems and various other interventional medical procedures. The Polymer Products Segment’s products are known for their complex configurations, multiple material construction and innovative designs, all while maintaining tight tolerances.
 
On November 9, 2004, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Putnam Plastics Company LLC (“Putnam Plastics Company”), completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumed selected liabilities of Putnam Plastics Corporation (the “Putnam Acquisition”) and incorporated its operations into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Putnam Plastics Company (the term “Putnam” is used herein to refer to the business operated by Putnam Plastics Corporation prior to the Putnam Acquisition and Putnam Plastics Company thereafter). Putnam is one of the nation’s leading, specialty polymer-extrusion companies serving the medical device, laser, fiber-optic, automotive and industrial markets. Its primary products are complex, multi-lumen, multi-layer extrusions used for guidewires, catheter shafts, delivery systems and various other interventional medical procedures. Putnam’s products are known for their complex configurations, multiple material construction and innovative designs. Putnam also is well known for its ability to manufacture to tight tolerances. Putnam also provides secondary operations such as tipping/welding, hole drilling, precision cutting, custom grinding, skiving/punching, flaring, molding, printing, and product assembly.
 
The Company conducts its operations from its three operating facilities located in Bethel, Connecticut, Menlo Park, California and Dayville, Connecticut. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 3 Berkshire Blvd., Bethel, Connecticut 06801, and its telephone number at such address is (203) 739-1100.
 
TECHNOLOGY
 
Nitinol Products Segment. SMAs are advanced materials which possess the ability to change their shape in response to thermal and mechanical changes, and the ability to return to their original shape following deformations from which conventional materials cannot recover. These abilities result from the transformation of the crystalline structure of the SMA in reaction to thermal and mechanical changes. As a result of the crystalline structure changes, SMAs are also able to produce forces many times greater than those produced by conventional materials.
 
The major defining properties of the SMAs with which the Company works are “superelasticity” and “thermal shape memory.” Currently the predominant SMA utilized by the Company is a nickel-titanium alloy commonly referred to as nitinol. The mechanical properties that can be engineered into nitinol-based devices permit innovative product designs that presently would be difficult or impossible to replicate with other materials. Unlike ordinary alloys, certain SMAs are capable of fully recovering their shape after being deformed as much as six to eight percent, and of performing this recovery on a repeated basis. This is more than ten times the recovery ability of ordinary metals. This “superelasticity” feature has applications for stent components, filters, embolic protection devices, guidewires, catheters, surgical instruments and devices, orthopedic devices, orthodontic apparatus, and other devices. Thermal recovery applications typically involve instances where a device is controlled or actuated in response to a pre-determined thermal change. Examples of such uses include heat activated fasteners, high pressure sealing devices, valve actuation systems, and thermally actuated mechanical systems. The majority of today’s commercial applications involve the use of the materials’ “superelastic” properties.

Polymer Products Segment. Extrusion is the technology of forcing molten plastic through a metal die to form a predetermined shape. The extrusion process is a continuous process as opposed to injection molding which is commonly a batch process. Standard polymer extrusions are most commonly single lumen, single material constructs that require very basic, very common technology to produce and are often produced in very large quantities at commodity pricing. Specialty polymer extrusions can be categorized by their complex configurations, multiple material construction and their unique design.
 
Putnam’s unique set of capabilities allow the fabrication of multi-layered tubes (co-extrusions in which at least two materials are extruded simultaneously), Total Intermittent Extrusions (“T.I.E.™”) in which one tube can be extruded in such a fashion as to allow rigid-to-soft handling characteristics in one extrusion, thermoset polyimide tubing which offers superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, braided tubing where metal or polyester wires can be extruded into a tubing wall to provide unique handling properties, and multi-lumen tubing in which multiple lumens may be created within one outer wall to allow for multiple fluids or guidewires to flow through one tubing construct.
 
In 2007, Putnam introduced a new product line exclusively dedicated to secondary operations capabilities for medical polymer tubing. PPC Plus was established to provide customers a streamlined manufacturing process for value added applications. The efficiency, traceability, and consolidated resources provided by this dedicated process enhance Putnam’s ability to support and expedite application development for its customers by reducing multiple outsourcing. Secondary operation solutions offered within PPC Plus include tipping/welding, hole drilling, precision cutting, custom grinding, skiving/punching, flaring, molding, printing, and product assembly.
 
MARKETS
 
The vast majority of the Company’s product lines, for both the Nitinol Products Segment and the Polymer Products Segment, are sold to the medical device industry. A small amount of product is sold into non-medical markets.
 
Medical Device Industry. Although the Company has expertise in a variety of SMAs, the Company utilizes primarily the superelastic characteristic of nitinol for medical device applications. The value of nitinol’s superelastic characteristics in the medical device sector is in its ability to provide ease of access and delivery of sophisticated medical devices. In addition, nitinol is kink resistant, exerts a constancy of force, is biocompatible (non-toxic) and is non-ferromagnetic, thereby allowing the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on patients with nitinol-based implants. Because of these unique characteristics, nitinol has become integral to the design of a variety of new medical products, notably for peripheral vascular and non-vascular stents, guidewires and catheters, urological products and orthopedic devices.
 
Vascular endoprostheses, so-called stents, are small tubular scaffolding keeping vessels open or, for covered stents or stent grafts, preventing aneurysmatic vessels from enlarging and potentially rupturing. Stents are placed using minimally invasive techniques within the vessel using catheter-based delivery systems. Once deployed, stents exert a radial force against the walls of the vessel to enable these lumens to remain open and functional. A number of different stent designs, materials and delivery systems, with varying characteristics, are currently available, in clinical studies or under development. The most prevalent stent designs are either lattice tubes made via laser cutting or wire-based stents.
 
Stents have, until recently, been one of the fastest growing segments of the medical device market and have led to significant advances in interventional cardiology, radiology and endovascular surgery, a surgical technique involving the introduction of a catheter or device through the vessel. Stents are used increasingly as adjuncts or alternatives to a variety of minimally invasive procedures because it is believed they are beneficial to overall patient outcome and may, over time, reduce total treatment costs. From its infancy in 1990, the U.S. stent market peaked at $3.1 billion in 2005, when the global market hit $5.2 billion. Piper Jaffray projects the overall U.S. stent market to shrink from about $2.9 billion in 2006 to approximately $2 billion in 2007, with the projected decrease driven by the current drug-eluting stent controversies. The vast majority of stents are currently utilized in the treatment of coronary artery disease. Additionally, there are stents with peripheral vascular applications. Coronary stents are made primarily of stainless steel or cobalt chrome alloys and are normally deployed through the expansion of a balloon on a catheter-based delivery system with a second balloon frequently used to further expand the stent. The Company does not currently process or market stainless steel or cobalt chrome stents and does not believe it will be materially affected by the controversies and overall market impact referenced above. 
 
Because of their unequaled large expansion ratio, crush resistance, and ease of deployment, self expanding nitinol stents are expected to capture a large portion of the peripheral vasculature stent market. This market includes the endovascular treatment of abdominal and thoracic aneurysms. Self-expanding nitinol stents are typically deployed via balloonless catheter-based delivery systems constraining the stent under a sheath that is subsequently withdrawn to allow the stent elastic expansion against the vessel walls. The Company is an active participant in the processing and marketing of nitinol peripheral stent components.

Guidewires and/or catheters, in this context, refer to tubes or wires inserted into a vessel for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The guidewires and/or catheters can be used in the delivery of medical devices, drugs or stents. Because of the superelastic characteristic, together with other attributes of nitinol described above, nitinol is replacing stainless steel as the material of choice in many of these instruments.
 
The use of nitinol in the orthopedic marketplace utilizes both the superelastic and shape memory characteristics of the material, depending upon the application. This market can be segregated into two product classifications—implantables and tools/instrumentation. Implantable devices which benefit from the properties of nitinol range from bone staples, which utilize the shape memory properties of the material in total joints or trauma surgeries to reduce and ultimately enable repair of fractures, to fixation devices which utilize the superelastic characteristics of nitinol. The superelastic characteristics of nitinol enhance the capabilities of arthroscopic surgery by providing additional flexibility in the tools and instrumentation. This additional flexibility is also valuable in spinal fusion devices and replacement products.
 
A wide range of retrieval devices, stents, and catheters for use in the urological marketplace are further enhanced by the superelastic characteristics of nitinol. Flexibility and placement options, heretofore extremely difficult or impossible to obtain utilizing current materials, are now much more readily accessible through the design inclusion of nitinol. Multifaceted assemblies, made from either nitinol wire or laser cut nitinol tubing in the form of baskets, graspers, or coils, are less invasive and less traumatic to the system due to the increased flexibility and pre-set response temperatures made possible by the properties of this alloy.
 
Memry currently produces the wire, strip and tubing that are used to fabricate guidewires, catheters, stents, and urological and orthopedic components and increasingly provides completed sub assemblies to medical device companies, as well as other surgical and diagnostic instrument components.
 
In addition, Putnam is one of the nation’s leading specialty polymer extrusion companies serving the medical device industry. Although still considered a niche market, the field of specialty polymers continues to expand rapidly as more refined technologies from companies such as Putnam emerge as realistic alternatives to in-house technologies at the large medical device companies. Putnam is able to make catheter tubing that needs multiple, co-extruded materials and requires precise control of all dimensions. Co-extruded polyimide is also used in applications that require precise tolerances and high mechanical requirements.
 
In fiscal 2007, sales to medical device companies accounted for approximately 96% of consolidated revenues and sales to non-medical device companies accounted for the additional 4%.
 
In July 2007, the Company received ISO 13485:2003 registration for its facilities. This advanced International Organization for Standardization registration is a comprehensive set of standards covering the quality of design, development, manufacture, shipping, installation and servicing of medical devices. In order to meet the criteria for registration, the Company demonstrated compliance with the regulatory standards associated with quality medical device manufacturing management systems and provided evidence of application and adherence. In addition, the Company was also re-certified to ISO 9001:2000 in July 2007 by Lloyds (LRQA).
 
Non-Medical Markets. The non-medical industry sectors served by the Nitinol Products Segment include primarily the aerospace/defense and automotive industries. While the success of nitinol products in the medical device industry is typically derived from the superelastic characteristics of nitinol, applications in these industrial sectors employ both the superelastic and the shape memory characteristics of nitinol. Although the development cycles in these industries, particularly aerospace/defense and automotive, are longer than those of the medical device sector, once the product is adopted it typically provides for larger volume demand and does not suffer from strict regulatory requirements.
 
Examples of such products the Nitinol Products Segment currently provides to these markets include high pressure sealing devices, actuators and fasteners. Memry currently sells heat actuated sealing devices used in diesel engine fuel injection systems to maintain air pressure. Fasteners are products that also employ the characteristics of shape memory to hold or couple two pieces of wire and/or metal together.
 
Putnam has also leveraged its brand name into non-medical sectors including the fiber-optic and automotive industries. Putnam supplies a coated wire that is used as a hinge box for automobile parts such as a center console in the automotive industry.

OPERATIONS
 
The Company conducts its Nitinol Products Segment business through its manufacturing facilities in Menlo Park, California and Bethel, Connecticut. The Menlo Park, California facility produces semi-finished SMAs in two basic forms: wire and tube. This facility also provides added value to its tubular product through laser processing, shape setting and polishing procedures resulting in the delivery of finished stent components, as well as certain other value-added activities. Memry’s east coast manufacturing operations, located in the same facility as the Company’s corporate headquarters in Bethel, Connecticut, processes wire into semi-finished strip, and produces formed components and value-added sub-assemblies, predominantly based on wire and strip-based SMAs. The microcoil and guidewire components utilized in various medical procedures are fabricated and supplied from the Company’s eastern operations in Bethel, Connecticut.
 
The Polymer Products Segment’s Putnam facility is located in Dayville, Connecticut. Processes in the facility include polymer-extrusion, co-extrusion, braiding, and sheathing. The facility also includes a secondary operations department, which offers a wide variety of services including, tube grinding, printing, hole-punching, tipping, and insert molding.
 
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
 
Nitinol Products Segment
 
Semi-Finished Materials. Raw nitinol material from specialty alloy suppliers is processed into various shapes and sizes and referred to as “semi-finished” materials. These materials, characterized generally as wire, strip or tubing, are sold to customers in standard configurations, processed further to meet specific customer specifications, or serve as the starting material for the formed components produced by the Company.
 
Wire. Memry’s nitinol wire products are sold as standard products, available in a variety of sizes, produced in non-standard sizes, to meet specific customer requirements, and used as the precursor to a formed component. Memry produces wire with a diameter ranging from .004 to .250 inches. In addition, the Company may apply a variety of finishing techniques, depending on customer specifications, including such steps as polishing or coating. Applications for the Company’s wire products include wireform stents, guidewires, endodontic files and needles.
 
Strip. The Company’s nitinol strip is sold in standard dimensions, as well as custom sizes as specified by the customer. Memry produces strip with a thickness ranging from .001 to .01 inches and a width ranging from five to twenty times the thickness. The majority of the strip product, however, serves as the starting material for formed components made by Memry. Example applications include the strip sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for wrapping around catheters for reinforcement of drainage catheters and biopsy forceps.
 
Tube. Nitinol tubing, or micro-tubing as it is sometimes called, is likewise sold in standard or customized sizes. Memry produces tubes with an outside diameter ranging from .012 to .300 inches and an outside diameter to internal diameter ratio from 1.15 to 1.70. Tubes are typically used in applications requiring flexible shafts, while maintaining a good column strength and the ability to transfer torque. Examples of such applications include stents, catheters, delivery guides, needles, MRI instruments and surgical instruments.

Formed Components. Formed components are typically non-standard products. Formed components are made by taking the semi-finished materials and further processing them by bending, kinking, stamping, crimping, laser cutting or electropolishing into specific forms as specified by customers. Examples of applications for formed components include the bending or arching of wire for use as orthodontic braces, helical and strip actuators, micro coils, patented locking rings for electronic connectors, enabling components of medical instruments (particularly stent structures), and sealing components. Memry recently expanded its secondary operations capability with the addition of equipment that provides grinding, tipping and coating services. The Company currently uses these capabilities in the production of guidewires and components to assist in the treatment of occlusions. Also recently added was wire EDM which is being utilized in the production of female incontinence components, stylet tips, and anchors for bypass and other procedures.
 
Sub-Assemblies. Memry manufactures and sells value-added sub-assemblies to OEMs, principally in the medical device field. This is done by taking the semi-finished materials and/or formed components produced by Memry and combining or assembling them with other products that have been outsourced by Memry to form a larger component or “sub-assembly” of the OEMs’ finished product. Memry combines its SMA expertise with additional manufacturing and process knowledge and third-party supply chain management to cost-effectively produce a sub-assembled product for OEMs. The single largest portion of Memry’s eastern business is selling assemblies and components to United States Surgical Corporation (“USSC”), a division of Covidien Ltd. (formerly Tyco Healthcare Group, LP), and other medical industry OEMs. The primary item sold by Memry to USSC is a SMA sub-assembly used by USSC for endoscopic instruments. The use of superelastic SMAs allows the instruments to be constrained outside the body, inserted into the body in its constrained form through small passages, to then take a different shape while inside the body, and then to return to their constrained shape for removal. The primary value-added product produced by the Company’s Menlo Park operations is finished stent rings utilized by Medtronic, Inc. (“Medtronic”) in their AneuRx AAA stent graft product.

Engineering Services. Memry is engaged in reimbursable development projects in which the Company provides design assistance, manufactures and sells prototype components and products to customers. Memry is currently working on a number of programs to develop SMA components for OEM customers’ products. The Company will accept customer-sponsored development contracts when management believes that the customer is likely to order a successfully developed component or product in sufficient quantity to justify the allocation of the engineering resources necessary. Generally under such programs, the identity of the customer is confidential; the data, inventions, patents and intellectual property rights which specifically relate to the SMA component are either owned by the customer, or, in several instances, shared between the Company and the customer; and data, inventions, patents, and intellectual property rights pertaining to the SMA technology that do not specifically relate to the customer’s product are owned by the Company.
 
Polymer Products Segment
 
Co-extrusion. Putnam manufactures a variety of co-extruded tubing for a variety of medical tubing applications. Co-extrusion is the simultaneous extrusion of two materials that form two distinct layers in one tube. The layers can be different materials where each material brings a set of distinct properties to the tube. Some of the applications require a stiff inside material to increase burst strength and a flexible exterior material to maintain flexibility.
 
T.I.E.™. T.I.E. tubing is manufactured with a unique patented process which enables engineers to design a product with continuously extruded rigid-to-soft tubing. Also available in multi-lumen, this can reduce the cost of manufacturing compared to standard bonding technology. The soft tip can be made in a different color than the shaft for recognition purposes. This tubing is available in many thermoplastic materials, including polyurethane and Pebax®. Most conventional tubes are either rigid or soft throughout and do not offer this important property.
 
Thermoset Polyimide Tubing. Putnam offers thin walled thermoset polyimide tubing and wire coatings. Polyimide tubing is manufactured to extremely close dimensions while insuring exceptional performance. It has standard interior diameter range from .006 to .080 inches and standard wall thickness from .0005 to .006 inches. Polyimide may also be co-extruded with other polymers such as Peek, Polyurethane, Nylon 11-12, Pebax® and various other materials. Polyimide has superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. It is strong, flexible, non-corrosive and chemically inert.
 
Single Lumen. A single lumen tube is a tube having a specified inner diameter, from .005 to .7 inches, outer diameter, from .01 to .85 inches or wall thickness, down to .0015 inches.
 
Multi-Lumen. A multi-lumen tube is an extrusion that contains two or more lumens within a single outer wall. Each of the lumens can be a different size or shape. Multi-lumen tubing can have up to 15 lumens and a variety of materials and compounds can been extruded and a specific lumen can be lined with a different material.
 
Taper/Bump. Tapered tubing is a continuous extruded tube consisting of several inside and outside diameters. Typically, the tubing can have a large straight bore diameter tapering to a smaller diameter. Transitions can be controlled to a specific taper length going from small to large diameter and vice versa. Additionally, transitions can be small (1.25 inches) or occur over a very long length, such as 60 inches.
 
Braided Reinforced Tubing. Putnam offers braiding capability in many polymers and is available in 16- or 24- wire configurations. Braiding wires vary from .0005 by .002 to .003 by .012 inches flat stainless steel and is also available in round wires. The braid can be wound with various spacings of the wire. By changing several factors during the braiding process, the characteristics of the tube can be altered to fit performance requirements. Braided catheter tubing is available in 2-10 French (0.6 to 3.0 mm) range in nylon, polyurethane and a variety of other polymers, radiopaque (visible under x-ray) and natural. Braid reinforced tubing is used in angioplasty, diagnostic and guiding catheters. Its advantages over non-reinforced tubing include: increased burst strength for higher injection pressures; increased column strength, for the ability to pass more tortuous lesions; and increased ability to transfer torque, for better hub to tip response.
 
Wire Coating. Putnam can coat many types of wire with a variety of polymers. Wires as small as .002 and as big as .2 inches are coated on a regular basis. Polyimide coatings are available for electrical properties. Fluoropolymer coatings are used for electrical and low friction applications. Wires can also be extruded into the wall of multi-lumen tubing. Putnam has the capability to apply a polymer coating to a nitinol wire for coated guidewire applications.
 
Secondary Operations. PPC Plus is a new product line exclusively dedicated to secondary operations capabilities for medical polymer tubing. Secondary operation solutions offered within PPC Plus include tipping/welding, hole drilling, precision cutting, custom grinding, skiving/punching, flaring, molding, printing, and product assembly.

STRATEGY
 
The Company’s strategy has several components which support each other. The overall objective of the Company is to become a leading supplier of components and sub-assemblies to the medical device industry. Memry is focused specifically on providing high value-added solutions to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases utilizing less-invasive technologies and procedures. A key component of this strategy is to maintain the Company’s leadership position in the provision and processing of SMAs and specialty polymer-extrusion by strengthening our position in SMA and leveraging, strengthening and growing the specialty polymer-extrusion business. This will require Memry to continue developing the relevant technology and also to become a very efficient and cost effective manufacturer. A second element of the strategy is to diversify and expand the Company’s revenue base by providing additional products and services. This will enable Memry to attract new customers and to expand the Company’s business with the Company’s existing customer base. Finally, Memry is continuing to explore the possibility of expanding the Company’s product and service offerings through acquisitions, such as Putnam, joint ventures, and/or investments. Each of these strategic elements will be further described below.
 
Maintain leadership position in Shape Memory Alloys and Specialty Polymer-Extrusion
 
Strengthen position in Shape Memory Alloys. Memry’s core business remains focused on its expertise in shape memory alloys, particularly nitinol, with the objective of sustaining growth in both the medical and non-medical markets. Because of the innovative nature of the medical device industry, however, the Company has found the return on invested development resources to be most attractive in the medical device sector. The Company therefore focuses the majority of its engineering and manufacturing expertise on the development of products for the medical device markets, where the properties provided by SMAs provide significant performance advantages or, in many cases, represent the enabling component of the medical device.
 
In cases where non-medical customers support the engineering and process development expense and there is strategic interest on the part of Memry, however, the Company will also undertake the development of non-medical applications. In addition, the Company has in the past applied, and anticipates it will in the future apply, advancements made in the development of medical devices to applications in the lower margin, higher volume non-medical sectors where customers are not supporting development activities.
 
In order to continue to advance the Company’s leadership position in SMAs, the Company continues to implement the following initiatives:
 
Advancing Processing Expertise and Quality Assurance. Nitinol is a non-linear material, which makes it a very difficult material to process. Memry believes that one of its competitive advantages is its ability to effectively process this material. One of these processes is the production of tubes used primarily in the production of stents. The Company believes that this process, proprietary to the Company, will provide Memry with an advantage over competitors with regard to product quality and cost for selected products when it is fully implemented. Memry has underway a number of process enhancement initiatives designed to enhance both the current manufacturing processes and Memry’s competitive position. Many of the materials produced by Memry are used in medical devices; therefore the product quality requirements placed on Memry by its customers are high. Each of Memry’s manufacturing facilities is ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 9001:2000 registered.
 
Modernizing Manufacturing Capabilities. To meet growing demand, particularly in the medical device market for the production of nitinol stents and other components, the Company has committed to optimizing the manufacturing efficiency of its current facilities and expects to invest between $1.5 million and $2.0 million in capital equipment and facility improvements in the SMA product line in fiscal 2008.
 
Modifying Manufacturing Operations. To accommodate the growing capacity requirements of the Company’s core medical OEM customer business, and in an effort to increase the efficiency of operation, the Company will continue to analyze the optimum manufacturing strategy for the Company, including which Memry facility should house each operation and what role outsourcing will play in overall operations.
 
Leverage, strengthen and grow the Specialty Polymer-Extrusion product line. The Putnam Acquisition was an important step in achieving the Company’s primary strategic objective of becoming a leading supplier of components and sub-assemblies to the medical device industry. To continue to grow the specialty polymer-extrusion product line, the Company has set the following objectives:
 
Expand secondary operations. The Company will continue to grow the specialty polymer-extrusion product line by focusing on plastic related secondary operations such as insert molding, tipping, hole punching, grinding and printing. The Company believes expanding secondary operations will allow Putnam to provide a broader scope of services and deliver more complete components and sub-assemblies. Expanding product and engineering capabilities is very important to medical device companies which are trying to increase their own efficiencies by reducing the number of their suppliers.

Process Improvement. The Company is committed to investing in Putnam’s manufacturing operations in an effort to improve efficiency, shorten lead times on new products, and improve overall quality. Success in these efforts should increase customer satisfaction and generate cost savings for the Company.
 
Synergy with nitinol products. Currently, the Company is developing a nitinol wire reinforced tubing that will utilize Putnam’s polymer technology. Success in these and other on-going joint development efforts should allow our customers to consolidate vendors, simplify their supply chain, and reduce costs. In addition, with the capability to manufacture both plastic and SMA components, the Company can be considered a secondary source for a broader range of customers who might want to minimize their supply risk.
 
Provide new products and services
 
Diversify and expand the Company’s revenue base. The medical device industry has been undergoing significant change over the last few years. As part of that change, many of the larger participants have recognized that their competitive differentiation comes from two key elements: device design and product marketing. These are the core competencies in which successful medical device companies excel and on which many medical device companies are focusing their resources. As a result, industry participants are looking to outsource to other companies with specialized expertise, some of the other essential parts of the business, especially engineering incorporating advanced material technologies and manufacturing processes. These factors have resulted in a growing trend towards outsourcing in the medical device industry, impacting the full breadth of the manufacturing cycle from material engineering to final product assembly.
 
The market drivers for the outsourcing trend include increased competitive pressures, a need to shorten the device development cycle, and efficient use of resources.
 
Memry believes that it can address the market opportunity created by these changes in the medical device industry. By combining a strong advanced materials technological capability to assist medical device companies with engineering skills that address issues involving the characteristics of SMAs and specialty polymer-extrusion as well as developing cost effective, high quality manufacturing processes and supply chain relationships, Memry believes that it can alleviate these issues for its OEM customers.
 
In order to expand on this “fully-integrated” service concept, the Company has implemented the following:
 
Increasing Engineering Service Capabilities. Memry possesses significant expertise in the characterization and performance variables of various SMAs and specialty polymer-extrusion products. This expertise is often critical in the design of medical devices. Although Memry has in the past actively participated in the design of OEM customer products, the Company has a program to clearly characterize and communicate to customers both the Company’s capabilities and the terms and conditions under which the Company will contract to assist existing and potential customers through these services. In addition, it has increased the scope of service to the medical device market by adding sophisticated surface chemistry treatments.
 
Processing Additional Formed Components. Over the past several years, the Company has taken advantage of additional opportunities in the market to increase its business of processing semi-finished material into formed components. The Company anticipates that it will continue to focus its resources on seeking additional customers for existing component concepts and new opportunities for its semi-finished material.
 
Expand Memry’s product and service offerings through acquisitions or joint ventures
 
While there remain growth opportunities in the core product/service areas described above, Memry will continue to investigate broadening its capabilities through acquisitions, joint ventures, and/or investment. As was the case in the Putnam Acquisition, Memry is screening strategic partners along several variables, including: growth opportunity, diversification of product lines and customers, profit potential, and access to new technology. The Company anticipates that any acquisition, joint venture, or investment would be in a business segment that is strategically related to its current business.
 
In addition to the Putnam Acquisition, the Company continues its joint development program with and has made a $400,000 initial investment in Biomer Technology Limited (“Biomer”), a privately owned company specializing in the development and manufacture of state-of-the-art polymers and biocompatible coatings for stents and other medical devices. Based in Runcorn, England, Biomer is a biomaterials company that has developed a range of high-performance polyurethanes, process technology, components and products for medical device manufacturing. On November 6, 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Biomer for the exclusive worldwide license to a biocompatible coating technology with potential drug-eluting capabilities for use on Nitinol stents. The agreement also requires the Company to sponsor a pre-clinical evaluation using Biomer’s passive coatings on a self-expanding Nitinol stent platform.

SALES AND MARKETING
 
Sales to Memry Europe. In connection with the sale of Memry Europe, N.V. to Wilfried Van Moorleghem in February 2001, Memry entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Memry Europe (which has been renamed Advanced Medical Technologies (“AMT”)). Pursuant to the License and Supply Agreement, Memry agreed to supply to AMT certain alloys and tubing products. In addition, conditional upon Memry being granted certain patents, Memry agreed to grant to AMT a right and royalty-bearing license to such patents and a right and royalty-bearing license to certain electropolishing technology and tubing technology.
 
Personnel. The Company currently has fifteen sales and marketing personnel, of which six operate primarily from headquarters. Additionally, the Company has one sales agent based in Israel and one sales agent based in Hong Kong.
 
Major Customers. The Company’s two largest customers are Medtronic and USSC. During the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, Medtronic accounted for approximately 28%, 28% and 32%; and USSC accounted for approximately 14%, 15% and 15% of the Company’s consolidated revenues, respectively. Revenue totals for each customer include sales to all divisions of each customer. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues in the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 or 2005.
 
Customer Agreements. The Company executed supply agreements with some of its customers.
 
Medtronic supply agreement. The Company executed this agreement on August 1, 2006 for a term of three years; however, Medtronic has the right to terminate this agreement after the second anniversary date for any reason or no reason. In addition, the agreement provides for renewal terms of two years each at Medtronic’s option, subject to the Company’s right to reject any renewal term, all on the terms set forth in the agreement. The agreement covers all current commercially available products sold to three Medtronic facilities, as well as a master agreement with Medtronic corporate. This agreement provides for a forecast of product to be supplied by the customer to the Company, with a commitment of purchase at varying levels on a quarterly basis.
 
USSC supply agreement. The Company and USSC executed this exclusive agreement during fiscal 2006 for a term of three years wherein the Company is the exclusive supplier for all nitinol based organ retrieval bags. The Company is also named as a preferred supplier for all successor products.
 
Foreign Sales. During the year ended June 30, 2007, approximately 79% of consolidated sales were to customers in the United States, 11% were to customers in the Dominican Republic, and 10% were to customers in all other countries. The Company attributes sales to unaffiliated customers in different countries on the basis of the ship-to location of the customer. Substantially all of the revenues in the Dominican Republic represent sales to an off-shore manufacturing facility of USSC.
 
SOURCES OF SUPPLY
 
The principal raw material used by the Company in nitinol products is SMAs. The Company obtains its SMAs from one principal source, Precision Castparts Corp.’s subsidiary Special Metals Corporation of New Hartford, New York. The Company anticipates it will be able to continue to acquire SMAs in sufficient quantities for its needs from this supplier. In addition, if the Company were, for whatever reason, not able to secure an adequate supply of SMAs from this supplier, the Company has identified other suppliers that, after a period of time, would be able to supply the Company with sufficient quantities of SMAs. It is probable the Company would suffer meaningful transitional difficulties if it had to switch to and validate alternate suppliers.
 
The principal raw material used by the Company in polymer extrusion products is polymers. The Company obtains its polymers from four principal sources: Foster Corporation of Putnam, Connecticut, which is 50% owned by the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation who is an executive officer of the Company and member of the Board of Directors of the Company, Noveon, Inc. of Woburn, Massachusetts, New England Urethanes of North Haven, Connecticut and Dow Chemical Corporation of La Porte, Texas. The Company expects to be able to continue to acquire polymers in sufficient quantities for its needs from these suppliers. In addition, if the Company were, for whatever reason, not able to secure an adequate supply of polymers from these suppliers, the Company believes that there is an active worldwide polymer market and would not anticipate any long term problem procuring necessary quantities of polymers.
 
While the Company also relies on outside suppliers for its non-SMA and non-polymer components of sub-assembled products, the Company does not anticipate any difficulty in continuing to obtain non-SMA and non-polymer raw materials and components necessary for the continuation of the Company’s business.

COMPETITION
 
The Company faces competition from other SMA processors, who compete with the Company in the sale of semi-finished materials (primarily with the Company’s California operation) and formed components (with Memry’s Connecticut and California operations). There are several major U.S., European and Japanese companies engaged in the supply or use of SMAs, some of which have substantially greater resources than the Company. Within the U.S., the two major SMA suppliers to both the Company and the industry as a whole are Alleghany Technologies’ Wah Chang Division and Precision Castparts Corp.’s subsidiary Special Metals Corporation. Each of these companies has substantially greater resources than the Company and could determine that it wishes to compete with the Company in the Company’s markets. Special Metals Corporation has become a competitor of the Company for semi-finished wire and strip materials. Japanese competitors include Furakawa Electric Co. and Daido-Special Metals Ltd., both of which produce SMAs and sell to users in Japan and internationally. The principal European competitors are Minitubes SA, a private French nitinol tube supplier, and G. Rau/EuroFlex, a German company that has a business relationship with NDC (See below). In addition, AMT (formerly Memry Europe) is a European competitor. However, pursuant to the License and Supply Agreement between Memry and AMT, the parties agreed that AMT has the rights to use certain of our technology only in Europe and Asia, while we have retained such rights elsewhere. The Company believes that Johnson and Johnson, through its subsidiary Nitinol Devices and Components Company (NDC), is our largest competitor, followed by Fort Wayne Metals Inc., Accellent Corp. and Shape Memory Alloy Applications, Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson Matthey Inc., all of which are based in the United States.
 
In the specialty polymer-extrusion sector, the Company believes Putnam has created certain barriers to entry due to its ability to manufacture specialized products that can hold tight tolerances with quick turnaround times from order to delivery. Putnam’s competitors, however, also make similar claims in terms of tolerances and turnaround times. Among its competitors in the specialty polymer-extrusion market, Accellent Corp. (formerly MedSource Technologies, Inc.), Extrumed, Inc. and Medical Extrusion Technologies compete with Putnam in a broad range of products. A fourth competitor, MicroLumen Inc., competes with the Company primarily in the Polyimide product line.
 
The Company intends to compete, and advance its position based primarily on its manufacturing capabilities, its proprietary intellectual property positions, its knowledge of the processing parameters of the alloys and polymers, and its unique design and assembly capabilities, particularly in the medical device field. However, Memry has experienced increased competitive pressure in the SMA market over the past two fiscal years, and anticipates that this pressure will continue in the future. It is likely that this competitive activity will result in downward pressure on prices and have a negative impact on gross margins.
 
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
 
The Company owns eighteen U.S. patents, as well as a variety of foreign patents, in the fields of medical devices, automotive components, valving mechanisms, sporting goods, and consumer products using SMAs and related effects alloy compositions, the production of these alloy compositions, the production of semi-finished materials such as tubing, and the utilization of nickel-titanium alloys having superelasticity and shape memory effects. Some of these patents are directed at the articles as well as the method of manufacture of such articles. There are a number of patent applications that are either pending or have provisional status covering primarily medical devices and methods of manufacture. The Company has foreign patents in force in various foreign countries where the Company does business or where the Company is otherwise desirous of having foreign patent coverage. The Company has also applied for patent protection in several foreign countries.
 
Further, in connection with the 1996 acquisition by Memry of its West coast facility from Raychem Corporation (the “Raychem Acquisition”), the Company was assigned a non-exclusive license to use NiTiNb alloys and related processing technologies for couplings, connectors, and sealing devices in fields other than fluid fitting products for uses in marine, aerospace or nuclear markets.
 
Under the terms of the Raychem Acquisition, the Company is, under certain circumstances, required to license the acquired intellectual property back to Raychem for specified uses. For example, (i) upon the termination of the Company’s Sales Agency Agreement with Raychem, Raychem received a non-exclusive perpetual license to utilize these patents to sell products within specified fields of use for a specified royalty, and (ii) Raychem has a non-exclusive, transferable perpetual license to utilize these patents in connection with certain intellectual property relating to the medical products market that was not acquired by the Company as part of the Raychem Acquisition. The Company believes that this latter license has now been transferred to Medtronic, Inc., a medical products manufacturer (and a customer of the Company), when Medtronic purchased certain intellectual property (excluded from the Raychem Acquisition) from Raychem during fiscal 1997. The Company also has various other patents and trademarks which, while useful, are presently not individually material to the Company’s operations.
 
10

 
The Company’s patent rights do not dominate the field of SMA utilization and the Company does not have specific patent protection for its most important products or product components. The Company’s patent rights do not dominate any specific fields in which the Company sells products. The Company does believe, however, that various patents provide it with advantages in the manufacture and sale of different products, and that its know-how relating to various SMAs provides the Company with a competitive advantage.
 
In the specialty polymer-extrusion market, prior to the acquisition, Putnam Plastics Corporation had strategically elected not to patent many of its tooling design and proprietary manufacturing processes. Based on its industry experience, Putnam Plastics Corporation developed proprietary technologies that, in management’s estimation, afforded them more protection then the patent process. Putnam Plastics Corporation did seek and was granted a patent for the T.I.E.™ product in 1989 that is still in force. Going forward, the Company will determine the need to patent technologies based on the most cost effective method of protecting the Company’s proprietary technologies.
 
While a United States of America patent is presumed valid, the presumption of validity is not conclusive, and the scope of a patent’s claim coverage, even if valid, may be less than needed to secure a significant market advantage. Gaining effective market advantage through patents can sometimes necessitate an expenditure on litigation, though this route is often fraught with uncertainties and delay. Although the Company’s technical staff is generally familiar with the patent environment relevant to the Company’s product lines and has reviewed patent searches when considered relevant, the Company cannot be certain whether any of its current or contemplated products would infringe any existing patents.
 
The Company cannot guarantee that any patent will be issued as a result of its pending applications in either the U.S. or any foreign country or any future applications in either the United States of America or any foreign country or that, if issued, these patents will be sufficient to protect the Company’s technology. The patent laws and laws concerning proprietary rights of some foreign countries may not protect the Company’s patent or proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States of America. This may make the possibility of piracy of the Company’s technology and products more likely.
 
The Company cannot guarantee that the steps it has taken to protect its patents will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology. In addition, the Company cannot guarantee that any existing or future United States of America or foreign patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that any patent granted will provide us with adequate protection or any competitive advantages.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
During fiscal 2007, the Company spent $1,645,000 on “pure” research and development (i.e., research and development performed by the Company at its own cost for purposes of developing future products). In comparison, the Company spent $2,016,000 and $1,923,000 during fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, on similar research and development. The decrease in “pure” research and development was the result of an effort by the Company to increase the number of research and development hours that are reimbursed by our customers. These types of costs are associated with the development of SMA and prototype polymer components pursuant to customer arrangements and are considered “funded” research, and, for purposes of the Company’s financial statements, are part of “cost of revenues,” rather than research and development. The Company anticipates the trend of having research and development costs reimbursed by our customers to continue.
 
Due to the shift of engineering focus and the Putnam Acquisition, the Company spent $4,941,000 during fiscal 2007 on “funded” research and development. These costs are borne directly by the customers of the Company. By comparison, the Company spent $4,753,000 and $3,415,000 on “funded” research and development in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amount of “funded” research and development that the Company will undertake in the future will depend upon its customers’ needs.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had 363 full-time employees and two part-time employees. Of the full-time employees, 39 were executive or management personnel and 28 were science, engineering and research personnel.
 
None of our employees are represented by collective bargaining units. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is generally good.
 
In addition, as of June 30, 2007, the Company had 35 “temporary” employees (i.e., employees of temporary staffing companies) working for the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
The following risk factors should be considered carefully in connection with any evaluation of our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and an investment in our common stock. Additionally, the following risk factors could cause our actual results to materially differ from those reflected in any forward-looking statements.
 
Our revenues may be adversely affected if our largest customers reduce orders.
 
The Company’s four largest customers accounted for over 50% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in fiscal 2007. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers due to industry consolidation, loss in market share, selection of an additional supply source, the in-house production of components, change in medical procedures, customer quality problems or excess customer supply could dramatically reduce the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash flow needed to fund operations.
 
Our production may be reduced by an inability to obtain the necessary raw materials.
 
The Company obtains its SMAs from one principal source. The Company anticipates it will be able to continue to acquire SMAs in sufficient quantities for its needs from this supplier. In addition, if the Company were, for whatever reason, not able to secure an adequate supply of SMAs from this supplier, the Company has identified other suppliers that, after a period of time, would be able to supply the Company with sufficient quantities of SMAs. It is probable the Company would suffer meaningful transitional difficulties if it had to switch to and validate alternate suppliers. Additionally, the Company obtains its polymers from four principal sources. The Company expects to be able to continue to acquire polymers in sufficient quantities for its needs from these suppliers. A reduction in production due to an inability to obtain the necessary raw materials could dramatically reduce the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash flow needed to fund operations until production is restored.
 
Our revenues and operating results may be negatively affected and we may not achieve future growth projections if we fail to compete successfully against our competitors.
 
The Company faces competition from other SMA processors, who compete with the Company in the sale of semi-finished materials and formed components. There are several major U.S., European and Japanese companies engaged in the supply or use of SMAs, some of which have substantially greater resources than the Company. Within the U.S., the two major SMA suppliers to both the Company and the industry as a whole have substantially greater resources than the Company. Each of these companies could determine that it wishes to compete with the Company in the Company’s markets. One of them has become a competitor of the Company for semi-finished wire and strip materials. The Company also faces competition in the specialty polymer-extrusion sector. There are three companies that compete with the Company in a broad range of specialty polymer extrusion products and one additional company that competes with us primarily in the Polyimide product line.
 
The Company intends to compete and advance its position based primarily on its manufacturing capabilities, its proprietary intellectual property positions, its knowledge of the processing parameters of the alloys and polymers, and its unique design and assembly capabilities, particularly in the medical device field. However, our competitors may also continue to improve their products, implement manufacturing efficiencies and develop new competing products. We may be unable to compete effectively with our competitors if we cannot keep up with existing or new alternative products, techniques, and technology in the markets we serve. These new technologies and products may beat our products to the market, be more effective than our products, be less costly than our products or render our products obsolete by substantially reducing the applications for our products. It is likely that this competitive activity will result in downward pressure on our sales prices and have a negative impact on gross margins.
 
12

 
We may experience an interruption in sales of a product and incur costs if the customers’ products are recalled.
 
The majority of the Company’s products are used in the medical device industry. In the event that any of our customers’ products present a health hazard to the patient or physician or fail to meet product performance criteria or specifications, this could result in a recall of the products, thereby resulting in a loss of our revenue and an adverse impact on our profitability.
 
In the event of a claim that we infringe upon another company’s intellectual property rights, we could incur significant costs and/or be required to stop the sale of the related product.
 
The U.S. business environment is highly litigious with respect to patents and other intellectual property rights. Although the Company’s technical staff is generally familiar with the patent environment relevant to the Company’s product lines and has reviewed patent searches when considered relevant, the Company cannot be certain whether any of its current or contemplated products would infringe any existing patents. Companies have used intellectual property litigation to seek to gain a competitive advantage. In the future, we may become a party to lawsuits involving patents or other intellectual property. A legal proceeding, regardless of the outcome, would draw upon our financial resources and divert the time and efforts of our management. If we are unsuccessful in one of these proceedings, a court, or a similar foreign governing body, could require us to pay significant damages to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties and pay ongoing royalties, require us to redesign our products, or prevent us from manufacturing, using or selling our products. In addition to being costly, protracted litigation to defend or enforce our intellectual property rights could result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of the affected products until the litigation is resolved.
 
Quality problems with our processes, goods and services could harm our reputation for producing high quality products and erode our competitive advantage.
 
Quality is extremely important to us and our customers due to the serious and costly consequences of product failure. Our quality certifications are critical to the marketing success of our goods and services. If we fail to meet these standards, our reputation could be damaged, we could lose customers and our revenue would decline. Aside from specific customer standards, our success depends generally on our ability to manufacture to exact tolerances precision engineered components, subassemblies and finished devices from multiple materials. If our components fail to meet these standards or fail to adapt to evolving standards, our reputation as a manufacturer of high quality components will be harmed, our competitive advantage would be damaged, and we would lose customers and market share.
 
Consolidation in the medical device industry could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
 
Many medical device companies are consolidating to create new companies with greater market power. As the medical device industry consolidates, competition to provide goods and services to industry participants will become more intense. These industry participants may be able to produce components currently provided by us or they may be able to use their market power to negotiate price concessions or reductions for components produced by us. If we lose market share due to in-house production by customers or replacement by a competitor, or if we are forced to reduce our prices because of consolidation in the medical device industry, our revenues would decrease and our earnings, financial condition and/or cash flows would suffer.
 
Loss of any of our manufacturing facilities would adversely affect our financial position.
 
We are currently operating at three production facilities, two for SMAs and one for specialty polymers. Although we believe we have adequate physical capacity to serve our business operations for the foreseeable future, we do not have a back up facility for any of the locations. The loss of any facility would have a material adverse effect on our revenues, earnings, financial condition and/or cash flows.
 
A loss of key personnel could have an adverse affect on our revenues and results of operations.
 
The Company’s future success depends on the continued service and availability of skilled personnel, including research, technical, marketing and management positions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully retain and attract the key personnel it needs. Further, many of the Company’s key personnel receive a total compensation package that includes equity awards. New regulations, volatility in the stock market and other factors could diminish the Company’s use, and the value, of the Company’s equity awards, putting the Company at a competitive disadvantage or forcing the Company to use more cash compensation. The loss of key personnel could have a material effect on our revenues, earnings, financial condition and/or cash flows.
 
An inability to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could adversely affect investor confidence and, as a result, our stock price.
 
The Company will be required to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) as of June 30, 2008. Although the Company has begun to implement the procedures to comply with the requirements of Section 404, there is no assurance that we will have a successful initial implementation. Failure to meet the initial implementation requirements of Section 404, our inability to comply with Section 404’s requirements, and the costs of ongoing compliance could have a material adverse effect on investor confidence and our stock price.
 
13

 
The Company has debt outstanding and must comply with restrictive covenants in its debt agreements.
 
The Company’s existing debt agreements contain a number of significant restrictive covenants, which limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional money; pay dividends; redeem stock; and enter into mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures. The covenants also require the Company to maintain compliance with fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios, as defined. While the Company is currently in compliance with all the foregoing covenants, increases in our debt or decreases in our earnings could cause the Company to be in default of these financial covenants. If the Company is unable to comply with theses covenants, there would be a default under these debt agreements. In addition, changes in economic or business conditions, results of operations or other factors could cause the Company to default under its debt agreements. A default, if not amended or waived by our lenders, could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and place a severe strain on our liquidity.
 
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
The Company’s headquarters and the Nitinol Products Segment’s east coast manufacturing operations are located in a leased facility at 3 Berkshire Blvd., Bethel, Connecticut 06801. The building is a single story, brick and block construction facility located in Berkshire Corporate Park, a suburban office center. The premises has a floor area of approximately 37,500 square feet, of which approximately 8,200 square feet is used by the Company for general administrative, executive, and sales purposes, and approximately 29,300 square feet is used for engineering, manufacturing, research and development operations and an environmentally controlled area (“clean room”).
 
A leased facility located at 4065 Campbell Avenue, Menlo Park, California 94025 is the principal site of the Nitinol Products Segment’s west coast manufacturing operations. These premises have a floor area of approximately 28,000 square feet, which is used by the Company for manufacturing, warehousing, general administrative and research and development operations. The Nitinol Products Segment leases an additional facility with approximately 22,000 square feet of light manufacturing and office space at 4020 Campbell Avenue, Menlo Park, California.
 
Upon the completion of the Putnam Acquisition in November 2004, the Company signed a lease for the Polymer Products Segment’s Putnam manufacturing facility located at 130 Louisa Viens Drive, Dayville, Connecticut 06241. These premises have a floor area of approximately 35,950 square feet, which is used by Putnam for manufacturing, warehousing, general administrative and research and development operations. The lessor is Mr. James V. Dandeneau, the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation, and currently a director and executive officer of the Company. The Polymer Products Segment’s Putnam operations also lease approximately 2,000 square feet of storage space at 40 Louisa Viens Drive, Dayville, Connecticut from Mr. Dandeneau on a month-to-month basis.
 
Management believes that the existing facilities of the Company are suitable and adequate for the Company’s present needs and that the properties are adequately covered by insurance. If the Company is successful in achieving substantial growth, it is possible that the Company will require additional manufacturing and office space over the next several years.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company is a co-defendant in a series of counterclaims filed by Kentucky Oil, NV (“Kentucky Oil”) vs. the Company and a third-party, Schlumberger Technologies Corporation (“Schlumberger”). The referenced action was initiated by a filing made by the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on May 14, 2004. The Company filed the action in response to written statements made by Kentucky Oil to Schlumberger alleging that the Company had misappropriated proprietary technology from Kentucky Oil and improperly transferred it to Schlumberger. In its complaint, the Company alleged that Kentucky Oil committed libel, business disparagement, and engaged in unfair business practices against the Company as a result of the statements. In addition, the Company requested a declaratory judgment that no misappropriation of technology occurred.
 
Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, the civil action was transferred to the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, on September 13, 2004. Further, as a result of the stipulation, Kentucky Oil waived its objections to personal jurisdiction and the Company withdrew its claims for libel, disparagement, and unfair business practices, leaving the Company’s claim for a declaratory judgment as the sole remaining count.
 
14

 
Kentucky Oil filed an Answer and Counterclaims on November 2, 2004, which included counterclaims against the Company for breach of a Collaboration Agreement, on behalf of Kentucky Oil (“First and Second Counterclaims”), against the Company and Schlumberger for misappropriation of trade secrets (“Third Counterclaim”), conversion of intellectual property (“Fourth Counterclaim”), joinder of Defendant Peter Besselink as co-inventor of several patent applications filed by Schlumberger based on the alleged misappropriated intellectual property (“Fifth Counterclaim”), and, alternatively, for a declaration that the Schlumberger patent applications are invalid and unenforceable (“Sixth Counterclaim”). In February 2005, the Company and Schlumberger filed motions to dismiss Kentucky Oil’s Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Counterclaims. The motions were heard on April 1, 2005 and, on April 8, 2005, the Court issued an Order granting the motions to dismiss as to the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Counterclaims, and denying the motions as to the Third Counterclaim.
 
On May 6, 2005, Kentucky Oil filed its second amended counterclaims, adding claims against the Company and Schlumberger for unfair competition and unjust enrichment. Schlumberger filed a motion to dismiss the two new counterclaims in June 2005, and a hearing on the motions was held on July 8, 2005. On June 30, 2005, the parties held a mediation session before a court appointed mediator in which the parties did not reach a settlement. On July 14, 2005, the Court issued an order denying the motion to dismiss the newly added counterclaims.

On May 12, 2006, the Company and Schlumberger filed a motion for summary judgment that Kentucky Oil lacks standing to assert causes of action for trade secrets misappropriation and or correction of inventorship. A hearing on the motion was held on July 21, 2006 and, on December 18, 2006, the Court issued an Order acknowledging that Kentucky Oil had failed to establish ownership of the alleged trade secrets due to a faulty chain of title between previous alleged owners. However, the Court declined to enter summary judgment, but rather granted Kentucky Oil until January 10, 2007 to cure the evidentiary deficiency. Kentucky Oil filed a supplemental affidavit prior to the deadline. Pursuant to the Court’s Order, the Company and Schlumberger filed objections to the supplemental evidence within five days. The Court has not yet ruled on the sufficiency of Kentucky Oil’s supplemental evidence or the Company and Schlumberger’s objections.

On January 26, 2007, the Company and Schlumberger filed multiple motions for summary judgment against Kentucky Oil’s several counterclaims, including motions for summary judgment that: (1) Kentucky Oil is estopped from asserting loss of trade secrets, (2) Kentucky Oil’s claim for misappropriation of trade secrets and related claim for breach of contract is barred by the statute of limitations, (3) no trade secrets were misappropriated, (4) Peter Besselink made no inventive contribution to Schlumberger’s patents; (5) Kentucky Oil has not suffered any compensable injury; and for (6) partial summary judgment on Kentucky Oil’s claims for unfair competition and unjust enrichment. On May 24, 2007, the Court issued “tentative” rulings on the above motion and heard oral argument on the following day. In its tentative rulings, the Court granted Memry and Schlumberger’s motions that Kentucky Oil’s claim for misappropriation of trade secrets and related claims for unfair competition and unjust enrichment are barred by the statute of limitations. The remaining motions were denied. The Court has not yet issued final rulings. It is possible that the final rulings may differ substantively from the tentative rulings, so it is unclear at this time what issues remain for trial. It is expected that the Court will issue final rulings on the motions for summary judgment in advance of trial, which is currently set to begin on November 19, 2007.
 
On June 13, 2007, Memry filed a motion to dismiss Kentucky Oil’s counterclaims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In the motion to dismiss, Memry argued that Kentucky Oil lacks standing to assert its counterclaims in California because Kentucky Oil’s alleged predecessor in interest, United Stenting, Inc., was never qualified under California regulations to conduct business in California. Memry also reaffirmed its argument that Kentucky Oil lacks standing to sue for damages because Kentucky Oil never acquired rights to non-medical applications of the Biflex technology. The Court did not schedule oral argument for the motion to dismiss and has indicated that it will issue a ruling based solely on the papers.

On August 3, 2007, Kentucky Oil filed a motion to amend its counterclaims to include several patents that have been issued to Schlumberger based on the disputed technology over the past several months. Memry and Schlumberger filed oppositions on the grounds that Kentucky Oil’s motion is untimely, prejudicial and futile.

Pursuant to the Court’s January 4, 2007 Order in response to a motion to compel, Kentucky Oil served a supplemental initial disclosure on January 11, 2007, delineating the bases for its alleged damages. In the disclosure, Kentucky Oil contends that its current calculation for unmultiplied damages is approximately $30 million. Kentucky Oil also served two expert reports in support of its alleged damages on January 19, 2007. Notwithstanding the fact that Kentucky Oil bears the burden of proof on damages, the Company served an initial expert report on damages on January 19, 2007 concluding, inter alia, that Kentucky Oil’s alleged damages are speculative and contrary to the evidence. The Company served a full rebuttal to Kentucky Oil’s expert reports on February 9, 2007. The Company and Kentucky Oil also exchanged expert reports on certain technological issues on January 19, 2007 and served rebuttal reports on February 9, 2007.

On December 29, 2006, Kentucky Oil forwarded a settlement proposal to the Company and Schlumberger calling for, inter alia, a lump sum payment of $5 million jointly from the Company and Schlumberger and an assignment of all of the Company’s rights under the Company- Schlumberger Development Agreement to Kentucky Oil. The proposal also includes a multi-faceted licensing arrangement between Kentucky Oil and Schlumberger over the disputed Schlumberger patents. Both the Company and Schlumberger rejected the settlement proposal and declined to make a counterproposal at that time. On March 14, 2007, the parties met for a settlement conference before the magistrate judge (the Court previously ordered the parties to engage in a settlement conference prior to trial). During the settlement conference, a number of settlement offers and counter offers were made. The settlement conference did not result in a resolution of this matter. The Company believes the counterclaims are without merit and is vigorously defending its position. However, the Company has recorded a liability as of June 30, 2007 and charged the amount to operations during the year ended June 30, 2007 for its share of the last combined settlement offer made by the Company and Schlumberger to Kentucky Oil. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of this litigation, the Company does not believe that it is likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
Memry provides design, engineering, development and manufacturing services to the medical device and other industries using the Company’s proprietary shape memory alloy and specialty polymer-extrusion technologies. Shape memory alloys are advanced materials which possess the ability to change their shape in response to thermal and mechanical changes, and the ability to return to their original shape following deformations from which conventional materials cannot recover. Specialty polymer-extrusion products are complex, multi-lumen, multi-layer extrusions used for guidewires, catheter shafts, delivery systems and various other interventional medical procedures.
 
The Company provides shape memory alloy products and services from facilities located in Bethel, Connecticut and Menlo Park, California and specialty polymer-extrusion products and services from its facility in Dayville, Connecticut. Memry processes raw material (usually nitinol, an alloy of nickel and titanium, and plastic polymers) into semi-finished products such as wire, strip or nitinol and co-extruded tube. Products in these forms are referred to as “semi-finished” materials and are marketed directly, primarily to medical device companies, for use in products such as guidewires, endodontic files, stents, delivery systems, catheters and catheter shafts. The Company also further processes its semi-finished materials into formed components and sub-assemblies. Formed components are made by taking the semi-finished material and further processing them by bending, kinking, coating, stamping, crimping, grinding, tipping and laser cutting into specific forms specified by customers. Sub-assemblies involve taking the semi-finished materials or formed components produced by the Company and combining or assembling them with other products that have been outsourced by Memry to form a larger component or “sub-assembly” required by an OEM, usually in the medical device field. Examples are sub-assemblies sold for use in endoscopic instruments and finished stent rings utilized in stent graft products. The Company believes that the medical device market for shape memory alloys and specialty polymer- extrusion is growing. Early applications were for general surgical instruments and for various vascular procedures. Recently, new opportunities have appeared in orthopedic, urological, electrophysiology, and embolic protection devices.
 
Approximately 96% of the Company’s products and services are sold to medical device companies, with the balance being utilized in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The Company sells primarily through a direct sales force, with sales representatives located in the U.S. and Europe. The medical device industry has very strict quality requirements, and the ability to meet these requirements and the requested shipment schedules is a key determinant of success. Price competition has historically been a key competitive variable in products that are not technically difficult to manufacture. Recently, as awareness of potential applications has increased and the industry has grown, the Company has noted increased competition for tube products and sub-assemblies, with commensurate pressure on prices and margins.
 
Two key areas where management focuses its attention are to reduce the Company’s dependence on a small number of products/procedures and to improve manufacturing efficiency. Through product development and acquisition, the Company has expanded the number of products and customers over the past several years and reduced its dependence on a few key products, notably AAA stent graft components. Product and customer diversification continues to be a major strategic initiative for the Company. In addition to providing additional products and services through its core business operations, the Company is continuing to explore diversification through acquisitions, such as Putnam, joint ventures, and investments. Much of the variability in the Company’s margins over the past several years can be explained by variations in manufacturing efficiency due to product mix and volume. In addition, the Company has gained efficiencies through a constant process improvement process which has made manufacturing processes more efficient and improved product yields, thereby reducing material losses and improving margins.
 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant policies are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation, are updated as appropriate, which in most cases is at least quarterly. We base our estimates on historical experience or various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
 
19

 
Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Our critical accounting estimates include the following:
 
Accounts Receivable. We provide allowances for doubtful accounts on our accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, which may result in the impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. On a regular basis, we review and evaluate the customers’ financial condition, which generally includes a review of the customers’ financial statements, trade references and past payment history with us. We specifically evaluate identified customer risks that may be present and collateral requirements, if any, from the customer, which may include, among other things, deposits, prepayments or letters of credit.
 
Inventories. We state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. We maintain inventory levels based on our projections of future demand and market conditions. Any sudden decline in demand or technological change can cause us to have excess or obsolete inventories. On an ongoing basis, we review for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventories and write-down our inventories to their estimated net realizable value based upon our forecasts of future demand and market conditions. These write-downs are reflected in cost of goods sold. If actual market conditions are less favorable than our forecasts, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Our estimates are primarily influenced by a sudden decline in demand due to economic downturn and technological changes.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events suggest an impairment exists. The test for impairment requires us to make several estimates about fair value. Goodwill was $14,146,000 at June 30, 2007 and 2006.
 
Intangible assets consist primarily of management’s estimates of developed technology, customer relationships, trade name, and other intangible assets that have been identified as a result of the appraisal process regarding the Putnam Acquisition. These assets are being amortized over their useful life, determined to be 4.5 to 20 years, depending on asset class. In addition, the acquired patents existing prior to the Putnam Acquisition are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 15 years. We review intangible assets for impairment annually or as changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events suggest the remaining value is not recoverable. Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, were $6,500,000 and $7,171,000 as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. All of the decrease is attributable to the amortization expense of $671,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007.
 
Stock-Based Compensation. We record compensation expense pursuant to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2005. Certain of our stock option grants are performance based. On an ongoing basis, we review the actual and forecast results of the performance criteria to estimate the number of options that will become vested. If actual results are different from our estimates, the number of options to be vested and the related expense recognized will require adjustment.
 
Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The recognition of a valuation allowance for deferred taxes requires management to make estimates about the Company’s future profitability. The estimates associated with the valuation of deferred taxes are considered critical due to the amount of deferred taxes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the judgment required in determining the Company’s future profitability. Deferred tax assets were $3,306,000 and $3,484,000 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Contingencies and Litigation. We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, have accrued estimates of probable costs for the resolution of these claims. These estimates have been developed in consultation with outside counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for more detailed information on our litigation exposure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Introduction
 
In the past several years, the Company has focused on increasing the amount of value-added products it provides to the marketplace, i.e., products where additional processing is performed on basic nitinol wire, strip, or tube before it is shipped to the customer. Currently, medical device applications represent some of the best opportunities for increasing the amount of value-added business. The kink-resistant and self-expanding properties of nitinol have made peripheral stenting an area of special interest, and stent components manufactured for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (“AAA”) in particular have become a significant driver of the Company’s revenues. However, because the market for stent components is very dynamic and rapidly changing, the Company has found it difficult to accurately forecast demand for its stent components. Delays in product launches, uncertain timing on regulatory approvals, inventory adjustments by our customers, market share shifts between competing stent platforms, issues in raw material supply and quality and the introduction of next-generation products have all contributed to the variability in revenue generated by shipments of medical stent components.
 
On November 9, 2004, the Company completed the Putnam Acquisition. Putnam utilizes polymer extrusion technology to produce polymer-based products sold primarily to the medical device industry. The largest current application for Putnam’s technology is for catheters. Putnam also utilizes its extrusion capabilities for guidewires, delivery systems, and various other interventional medical devices. As in the nitinol product line of the Company, Putnam is focusing on growing the value-added portion of its business by performing additional processing on its semi-finished polymer tube. The large majority of Putnam’s products are sold directly to the medical device industry through the Company’s direct sales organization. The results of operations of Putnam have been included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

For years prior to July 1, 2006, the Company classified legal costs incurred for litigating, registering and maintaining patents as research and development expense. Commencing July 1, 2006, the Company began classifying such costs as general, selling and administration expense. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements to correct this error by $270,000 and $478,000, respectively, of such costs from research and development expense to general, selling and administration expense. There was no effect on operating income as a result of this restatement.

For years prior to July 1, 2006, the Company classified certain customer reimbursements and other items as other income. Commencing July 1, 2006, the Company began classifying such amounts as other operating expenses. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements to correct this error by $141,000 and $60,000, respectively, of such amounts from other income to other operating expenses. There was no effect on net income as a result of this restatement.
 
Business segments
 
The Company’s product lines consist of shape memory alloys (“SMAs”) and specialty polymer-extrusion products. Currently, the predominant SMA utilized by the Company is a nickel-titanium alloy commonly referred to as nitinol. Prior to the Company’s November 9, 2004 Putnam Acquisition, the Company only produced SMAs. Both product lines provide design, engineering, development and manufacturing services to the medical device and other industries using the Company’s proprietary shape memory alloy and polymer-extrusion technologies. Medical device products include stent components, catheter components, guidewires, laparoscopic surgical sub-assemblies and orthopedic instruments. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company began managing its business as two business segments: (i) Nitinol Products Segment, and (ii) Polymer Products Segment. Prior to that time, the Company had operated as one business segment. All years reflect the results based on these two business segments.
 
The Nitinol Products Segment provides design support, manufactures and markets advanced materials which possess the ability to change their shape in response to thermal and mechanical changes, and the ability to return to their original shape following deformations from which conventional materials cannot recover. The Nitinol Products Segment’s products are used in applications for stent components, filters, embolic protection devices, guidewires, catheters, surgical instruments and devices, orthopedic devices, orthodontic apparatus, high pressure sealing devices, fasteners, and other devices.
 
The Polymer Products Segment designs, manufactures and markets specialty polymer-extrusion products to companies serving the medical device, laser, fiber-optic, automotive and industrial markets. Its primary products are complex, multi-lumen, multi-layer extrusions used for guidewires, catheter shafts, delivery systems and various other interventional medical procedures. The Polymer Products Segment’s products are known for their complex configurations, multiple material construction and innovative designs, all while maintaining tight tolerances.
 
Included in the line item “Eliminations” below are the eliminations between the two segments.

Revenues. Revenues decreased 2% to $51,677,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007 from $52,588,000 during fiscal 2006, a decrease of $911,000. The decrease in revenues was due to a decline in the sales of Nitinol Products. The Polymer Products Segment’s revenues remained relatively flat at $15,821,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $15,811,000 during fiscal 2006. Although sales to one of the Polymer Products Segment’s largest customers declined in fiscal 2007 from the prior year’s level, other large customers had increased sales, which offset a substantial portion of the decrease. The Polymer Products Segment increased slightly to 31% of total revenues in the year ended June 30, 2007 from 30% in fiscal 2006.
 
Revenues for the Nitinol Products Segment decreased 3% or $979,000 to $36,036,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007 from $37,015,000 during fiscal 2006. This decrease in revenues resulted primarily from contractual price reductions with respect to certain established products combined with unit volume decreases in older generation stent components. Revenues from superelastic nitinol tube decreased approximately $1,300,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007 from the prior year. This segment also experienced decreased shipments of nitinol tube-based stent components, which decreased approximately $1,050,000. Additionally, there were decreases in the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the prior fiscal year in shipments of endocatch products of approximately $1,070,000, arch wire of approximately $470,000, and high pressure sealing plugs of approximately $490,000. Offsetting a portion of these decreases, the Nitinol Products Segment had increased revenues of approximately $1,730,000 in etched wire-based stents for an existing customer compared to fiscal 2006. In the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s revenues from the wire-based stent components were adversely affected by shortages in acceptable raw material from one of the Company’s suppliers related to this product line that occurred during the first quarter and which were subsequently resolved. The Company also had increased revenues from prototype development and research and development activities of approximately $920,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007 from the prior year. Additionally, revenues increased approximately $300,000 for a nitinol catheter product in the year ended June 30, 2007 from the prior year due to the product launch of a customer’s new product. Although the Company continues to work on new products, there can be delays in revenues from customers due to a slow validation process, product redesign or other factors. Looking forward to fiscal 2008, the Company anticipates that overall nitinol stent component revenues will experience some decline from their revenues in fiscal 2007. The reason for this decline relates primarily to an anticipated reduction in shipments of tube-based stent components to our largest customer because of a potential reduction of the customer’s shipments and the customer’s desire for a “second source.” The Company anticipates that the decline in mature stent product revenues will be offset by increased revenues from a combination of customer funded research and development projects and new products in both the Nitinol Products Segment and the Polymer Products Segment.
 
Costs and Expenses. Cost of revenues increased $2,872,000, or 9%, to $35,087,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007 from $32,215,000 in fiscal 2006. The increase was due primarily to unfavorable production variances as a result of lower production volumes combined with higher spending on personnel and new equipment to support future growth. The Nitinol Products Segment operated at a lower gross margin in the year ended June 30, 2007 than in fiscal 2006 primarily due to contractual sales price reductions on established products and these unfavorable production variances. Additionally, there was a shift in the product mix of shipments towards those products with lower margins from those with higher gross margins, such as nitinol superelastic tube. The Polymer Products Segment’s gross margin continues to be higher than the gross margin of the Nitinol Products Segment. However, the Polymer Products Segment’s gross margin also was lower in the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the prior year. It decreased to 36.1% of revenues in the year ended June 30, 2007 from 44.4% in fiscal 2006 as the segment experienced a decline in revenues from some of its higher margin products and it experienced higher production costs with flat production volumes. Since the November 2004 acquisition of Putnam Plastics, the Company has invested in personnel and equipment to provide new capabilities and capacity to support the anticipated growth of the Polymer Products Segment.
 
As a result of these factors, the Company’s consolidated gross profit decreased from 38.7% in fiscal 2006 to 32.1% in the year ended June 30, 2007. See the table in the beginning of this section for additional information on the results of the business segments. The Company’s ability to maintain or grow its gross profit margin is dependent on several factors. One is the product mix of the Company’s shipments, which can be affected by customer requirements, capacity of specific product lines and general timing. Another is the success of the Company in securing sufficient business to absorb plant overhead, particularly in the high margin nitinol tube business. A third is developing successful new products to offset the pricing pressures on older generation technology. In fiscal 2008, an anticipated reduction from prior year levels in shipments of tube-based stent components will make it difficult to maintain gross profits in the Nitinol Products Segment. The Company continues to invest in the manufacturing operations of its Polymer Products Segment, including staff, equipment, and systems to grow the segment’s revenues over the next several years. These investments are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and may have the effect of reducing profitability, particularly in the short term, of the Polymer Products Segment.
 
Operating expenses, including research and development costs, general, selling and administration expenses and amortization of intangible assets increased $288,000, or 2%, to $15,282,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to $14,994,000 in fiscal 2006. However, the operating expenses in fiscal 2006 included $1,130,000 of separation charges related to the retirement of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer. Therefore, excluding the separation charges in fiscal 2006, the operating expenses in fiscal 2006 were $13,864,000 and approximately 10% less than in fiscal 2007. The increase in operating expenses, exclusive of the separation charges, in the year ended June 30, 2007 primarily was due to increased administration costs related to litigation costs and professional fees for legal and accounting services. The increased professional fees for accounting services are related to the Company preparing for the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance requirements in fiscal 2008. Offsetting a portion of these increased operating expenses was a decrease in the incentive compensation expense in the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year. This decrease was due to the non-achievement of the financial targets pursuant to the incentive compensation plan. Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 29.6% in the year ended June 30, 2007 and 28.5% in fiscal 2006. Excluding the $1,130,000 of separation charges in fiscal 2006, total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 29.6% and 26.4% in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively. The Company expects operating expenses to increase slightly in fiscal 2008 as the Company undertakes implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance requirements and as the Company incurs increased employee costs for compensation and benefits.

Nonoperating income and expenses. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $215,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This loss represented the write-off of $44,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the March 26, 2007 prepayment of a portion of the bank credit facility, a $126,000 write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, and the payment of a prepayment penalty of $45,000 in connection with the prepayment of subordinated debt on April 26, 2007.

Net interest expense decreased $419,000 to $644,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to net interest expense of $1,063,000 in fiscal 2006. The change from year to year was comprised of a $136,000 increase in interest income and a decrease of $283,000 in interest expense. The interest income increased due to increased invested cash balances in the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the prior year. Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balance, which was partially offset by a slight increase in the average interest rate in the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the prior fiscal year.
 
Income Taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $132,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to a provision for income taxes of $1,643,000 for fiscal 2006. The decrease in the provision is the result of a decrease in the income before income taxes and the recognition of an extraterritorial income exclusion tax benefit related to export sales in the year ended June 30, 2007.  Included in the income tax provision was the exclusion of the deduction for the recording of the stock-based compensation relating to incentive stock options (“ISOs”) in both years. The Company may recognize some income tax benefit in the future related to compensation expenses on ISOs. The amount of income tax benefit recognized will be contingent upon the amount of options exercised, whether the exercise is a disqualifying disposition and the statutory income tax rate at the time of exercise, among other factors. The effective tax rate was 29% for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 38% for fiscal 2006. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate is the amount of the extraterritorial income exclusion tax benefit and return to provision adjustments recognized relative to the income before income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2007. 
 
Net Income. As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company recognized net income of $317,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to net income of $2,673,000 for fiscal 2006.

Revenues. Revenues increased 17% to $52,588,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006 from $45,008,000 during the same period in fiscal 2005, an increase of $7,580,000. The increase in revenues was due principally to the inclusion of revenues from the Polymer Products Segment for a full year in fiscal 2006 as a result of the acquisition of Putnam on November 9, 2004. The Polymer Products Segment’s revenue for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $15,811,000 as compared to $8,090,000 during fiscal 2005, which represents both growth in the business and the fact that the Putnam Acquisition did not occur until the middle of the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The growth in the business was primarily due to increased shipments of guidewires to a major customer, although shipments of catheters to other customers and for other applications also grew during fiscal 2006. Additionally, sales of the Polymer Products Segment increased to 30% of total revenues in the year ended June 30, 2006 from 18% in the year ended June 30, 2005.
 
Revenues for the Nitinol Products Segment increased slightly to $37,015,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006 from $36,987,000 during fiscal 2005. The revenue increase in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to increased shipments of components utilized in general surgical applications of approximately $1,200,000, increased revenues of approximately $825,000 in superelastic tube, increased revenues from prototype development and research and development activities of approximately $975,000 and shipments of high pressure sealing plugs, which increased approximately $275,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared with the similar period in fiscal 2005. Offsetting these increases were decreased shipments of nitinol laser cut tube-based and wire-based stent components, sold to the Company’s largest customer, which declined by approximately $2,500,000. The decrease in the tube-based stent components was due to an overall decline in the sales of the customer’s product and the loss of a portion of the customer’s business to a “second source.” The decrease in the wire-based stent components was caused primarily by shortages in acceptable raw material from one of the Company’s suppliers related to this product line that occurred during the first quarter and which were subsequently addressed, as well as competitive pressures. Additionally, the Nitinol Products Segment had lower sales in the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 for arch wire of approximately $1,050,000 and microcoil and guidewire products, which decreased approximately $525,000.
 
Costs and Expenses. Cost of revenues increased $5,120,000, or 19%, to $32,215,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006 from $27,095,000 in the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase was due primarily to the inclusion of Putnam’s results of operations for twelve months in fiscal 2006, as compared to less than eight months in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2006, Putnam recorded cost of revenues of $8,789,000. The Nitinol Products Segment operated at a slightly lower gross margin in the year ended June 30, 2006 (36.1%) than in fiscal 2005 (38.8%) primarily due to a shift in the product mix of shipments towards those products with higher per unit direct production costs in the area of general surgical applications. The Polymer Products Segment’s gross margin continues to be higher than the gross margin of the Nitinol Products Segment. The Polymer Products Segment’s gross margin increased slightly to 44.4% of revenues in the year ended June 30, 2006 from 43.9% in the year ended June 30, 2005 as the segment benefited from increased production volumes. Since the November 2004 acquisition of Putnam, the Company has invested in personnel and equipment to provide capacity to support the increased business of the Polymer Products Segment.
 
The Company experienced price pressure on several product lines and, during the year ended June 30, 2006, it continued to incur additional expense associated with the launch of a new guidewire product. In addition, stock-based compensation of $50,000 was charged to cost of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
 
As a result of these factors, consolidated gross profit decreased from 39.8% in the year ended June 30, 2005 to 38.7% in the year ended June 30, 2006. See the table in the beginning of the section for additional information on the results of the business segments. The Company’s ability to maintain or grow its gross profit margin is dependent on several factors. One is the product mix of the Company’s shipments, which can be affected by customer requirements, capacity of specific product lines and general timing. Another is the success of the Company in securing sufficient business to absorb plant overhead, particularly high margin nitinol tube business. The Company continued to invest in the manufacturing operations at its Polymer Products Segment, including staff, equipment, and systems to grow the segment’s revenues over the next several years.
 
Operating expenses, including research and development costs, general, selling and administration expenses and amortization of intangible assets increased $2,703,000, or 22%, to $14,994,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $12,291,000 in the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase in operating expenses in the year ended June 30, 2006 was primarily as a result of the inclusion of Putnam’s results of operations for a full twelve months in fiscal 2006, as compared to less than eight months in fiscal 2005. Additionally, the operating expenses increased due to the $1,130,000 separation charges related to the retirement of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, the addition of engineering, administration and sales and marketing personnel, a full year’s amortization of intangible assets related to the Putnam Acquisition and marketing program initiatives undertaken in the year ended June 30, 2006. Further cost increases were also driven by the Company adopting SFAS No. 123(R) in the year ended June 30, 2006 and the related stock-based compensation charged to operating expenses of $314,000, the continuing increase in administration costs related to legal and accounting activities and higher personnel costs. Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 27.3% in the year ended June 30, 2005 to 28.5% in the year ended June 30, 2006. Excluding the separation charges, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 26.4% in the year ended June 30, 2006.

Nonoperating income and expenses. Loss on extinguishment of debt of $182,000 in fiscal year 2005 was due to the write-off of deferred financing costs of $107,000 and a penalty on the prepayment of subordinated debt of $75,000. The Company prepaid $2.5 million of its subordinated debt in order to reduce interest expense in future periods.
 
Net interest expense was $1,063,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1,032,000 in the year ended June 30, 2005. The change from year to year was due principally to an increase in interest expense, including the amortization of deferred financing costs associated with a higher level of borrowings utilized to finance a portion of the Putnam Acquisition, and higher overall borrowing costs due to an increase in LIBOR from the year ended June 30, 2005 to the year ended June 30, 2006.
 
Income Taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,643,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to a provision of $1,683,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in the provision is the result of lower income before taxes and the recognition of an extraterritorial income exclusion tax benefit related to export sales in the year ended June 30, 2006. Offsetting a portion of the decrease in the income tax provision was the exclusion of the deduction for the recording of the stock-based compensation relating to ISOs in the year ended June 30, 2006. The Company may recognize some income tax benefit in the future related to compensation expenses on ISOs. The amount of income tax benefit recognized will be contingent upon the amount of options exercised, whether the exercise is a disqualifying disposition and the statutory income tax rate at the time of exercise, among other factors. The effective tax rate was 38% for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
 
Net Income. As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company’s net income decreased by $52,000, to $2,673,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2,725,000 for fiscal 2005.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At June 30, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $2,401,000, a decrease of $4,564,000 from $6,965,000 at the start of fiscal 2007. This decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to cash used to prepay $5,154,000 of subordinated debt and $1,569,000 of bank debt. Additionally, the Company used $2,332,000 for capital expenditures. The use of cash for debt prepayments and capital expenditures was partially offset by cash provided by operations.

Net cash provided by operations was $5,411,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $548,000 from $5,959,000 provided during fiscal 2006. This decrease was due principally to the $2,356,000 decrease in net income in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006, which was partially offset by cash provided by the increased collection of accounts receivable. During the year ended June 30, 2007, there was a $1,875,000 decrease in accounts receivable as compared to a $2,305,000 increase during the prior year. The decrease in accounts receivable was due to an increased concentration on account management and cash collections during the year.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $321,000 to $2,327,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2,006,000 during fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, the primary capital requirement was to fund additions to property, plant and equipment. Additionally, in the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company made payments of $829,000 in connection with the purchase of Putnam and the Company recorded a $1,500,000 increase in cash when its principal lender permanently waived the requirement for a cash collateral deposit.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in financing activities was $7,648,000, which includes the prepayment of $5,154,000 of subordinated debt and $1,569,000 of bank debt, along with the second annual $833,000 installment on the deferred payment for the Putnam Acquisition and the scheduled principal payments on bank debt, offset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $1,015,000. During the year ended June 30, 2006, net cash used in financing activities was $1,129,000, which included the $833,000 installment on the deferred payment for the Putnam Acquisition and the pay-down of the note payable to Webster Business Credit Corporation of $1,297,000, offset by the proceeds from notes payable of $388,000 and the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $621,000.
 
Working capital at June 30, 2007 was $10,235,000, a decrease of $4,142,000 from $14,377,000 at June 30, 2006. The decrease in working capital primarily is a result of the prepayment of $5,154,000 of subordinated debt and $1,569,000 of bank debt, which were partially offset by the net cash provided by operations.
 
27

 
In fiscal 2007 and 2006, the primary capital requirements were to fund capital expenditures and principal payments on notes payable.
 
In connection with the Putnam Acquisition on November 9, 2004, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation (the “Webster Agreement”). The Webster Agreement included a term loan facility consisting of a five year term loan of $1.9 million (the “Five Year Term”) and a three year term loan of $2.5 million (the “Three Year Term”), collectively (the “Term Loan Facility”). On March 26, 2007, the Company prepaid the principal amounts outstanding on the Term Loan Facility. The amount paid was $1,569,000. In connection with the prepayment of the Term Loan Facility, the Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $44,000, which represented the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. Both term loans were repayable in equal monthly installments with the additional requirement that, under the Three Year Term, a prepayment of 50% of excess cash flow, as defined, be made annually within 90 days of the Company’s fiscal year end. The excess cash flow prepayment requirement had been waived by Webster Business Credit Corporation for fiscal 2006 and 2005. Interest under the Five Year Term was based upon, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 2.50% effective December 31, 2006, previously it was LIBOR plus 2.75%, or the alternate base rate, as defined, plus 0.25%. Interest under the Three Year Term was based upon, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 3.50% effective December 31, 2006, previously it was LIBOR plus 3.75%, or the alternate base rate, as defined, plus 1.25%. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were used to repay approximately $1.4 million in outstanding borrowings under the previous facility with Webster Bank and to partially fund the Putnam Acquisition.
 
The Webster Agreement also provides for a revolving line of credit for borrowings up to the lesser of (a) $6,500,000 or (b) an amount equal to the aggregate of (1) 85% of the eligible accounts receivable plus (2) the lesser of $3,000,000 or 55% of eligible inventories. Interest under the revolving line of credit is based upon, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 2.50% or the alternate base rate, as defined. The entire outstanding principal amount of the revolving line of credit is due November 9, 2009. As of June 30, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit. Additionally, the Webster Agreement includes an equipment line of credit that provides for equipment financing up to the lesser of $1,000,000 or 80% of the hard cost for eligible equipment through November 9, 2005 at the same financing terms as the Five Year Term. As of November 9, 2005, $1,000,000 of the outstanding amount under the equipment line was converted to a term loan, payable monthly, based on a seven year amortization schedule, but with a balloon payment of the then unpaid balance due November 9, 2009. On December 21, 2005, the Webster Agreement was amended to provide an equipment line of credit that provides for equipment financing up to the lesser of $1,000,000 or 80% of the hard cost for eligible equipment through November 9, 2006 on the same financing terms as the Five Year Term. Borrowings under the Webster Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
The Webster Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, the limitation of mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, limitations on encumbrances and additional debt, limitations on the payment of dividends or redemption of stock and compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio, as defined. Additionally, the Company was required to maintain cash as collateral security until the Three Year Term loan was paid in full. For the first year of the Webster Agreement, the collateral security was $1,500,000. This amount had been classified as cash collateral deposits on the June 30, 2005 consolidated balance sheet. On November 9, 2005, Webster Business Credit Corporation permanently waived the cash collateral deposit requirements, and these funds have been accounted for as cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2006.
 
Additional financing for the Putnam Acquisition was obtained on November 9, 2004 from Brookside Pecks Capital Partners, L.P. and Ironbridge Mezzanine Fund, L.P. in the form of a $7.0 million subordinated loan due November 9, 2010 (the “Subordinated Loan”). The interest rate on the Subordinated Loan was 16.5%, of which 12% was payable quarterly with the remaining 4.5% payable in additional promissory notes having identical terms as the Subordinated Loan. Originally, the interest rate was 17.5%, with 5.5% payable in additional promissory notes, but was reduced during fiscal 2006 because the Company achieved certain pretax income thresholds in fiscal 2005 and it was reduced in fiscal 2007 at the discretion of the lender. On April 26, 2007, the Company prepaid the outstanding balance on the Subordinated Loan. The amount prepaid was $5,154,000. In connection with the prepayment of the Subordinated Loan, the Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $171,000 representing the write-off of $126,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs and a cash prepayment penalty of $45,000. The total of $171,000 is included in the loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2007.
 
In June 2005, the Company made a payment of $2.5 million against the Subordinated Loan which resulted in a 3% prepayment penalty of $75,000 and, as a result of the prepayment, the Company wrote-off $107,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs. The total of $182,000 is included in the loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2005.
 
28

 
The remaining financing for the Putnam Acquisition was provided for by cash on hand and $2,500,000 in deferred payments. The deferred payments are non-interest bearing and are required to be paid to the seller in three equal annual installments. The first and second of these installments of $833,000 were paid on November 9, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
 
On August 24, 2004, the Company entered into a joint development program (the “Agreement”) with Biomer Technology Limited (“Biomer”), a privately owned company specializing in the development and manufacture of state-of-the-art polymers and biocompatible coatings for stents and other medical devices. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company made a $400,000 initial investment in Biomer in the form of a 2% unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”). Interest on the Note was payable upon conversion, or upon repayment of the Note. Under the terms of the Note, the Note plus accrued interest was to be converted into ordinary shares of Biomer stock upon the occurrence of the earlier of, as defined, the successful completion of the joint development program, an additional equity financing of Biomer, the sale of Biomer, or December 31, 2005. On October 5, 2005, Biomer completed an equity financing which triggered conversion of the Note into 37,860 ordinary shares of Biomer stock. The amount of the Company’s initial investment and accrued interest of $409,000 were converted to an investment as of October 5, 2005 which, since the Company does not have a controlling ownership interest or significant influence over Biomer’s financial reporting or operations, has been accounted for on the cost basis.
 
The Agreement requires the Company to make an additional equity investment of at least $350,000 in Biomer in the event, as defined, a financing of Biomer occurs after the Note has been converted and successful completion of the joint development program has been accomplished. Additionally, as part of the joint development program and in consideration for services provided by Biomer in the joint development program, the Company agreed to pay Biomer $200,000 in four equal quarterly installments of $50,000 beginning August 24, 2004. As of December 31, 2005, all four installments had been paid totaling $200,000 since the specific milestones that indicated completion of the joint development program, as specified in the Agreement, were met. The $200,000 was amortized over the initial one-year term of the joint development program.

On November 6, 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Biomer for the exclusive worldwide license to a biocompatible coating technology with potential drug-eluting capabilities for use on Nitinol stents. The agreement also requires the Company to sponsor a pre-clinical evaluation using Biomer’s passive coatings on a self-expanding Nitinol stent platform. The agreement requires the Company to pay $305,000 for the pre-clinical evaluation and Biomer’s management over the course of the evaluation. On December 23, 2006, the Company paid $153,000 to Biomer, as required by the agreement. This $153,000 was recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets. The remaining $152,000 is payable after pre-clinical evaluation has been completed and Biomer has issued its report thereon to the Company. The $305,000 is being charged to Research and Development Expense as the pre-clinical evaluation is conducted. The pre-clinical evaluation began in June 2007 and the Company recognized Research and Development expense of $38,000 in fiscal 2007. At June 30, 2007, $115,000 has been recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.
 
The Company has requirements to fund plant and equipment projects to support the expected increased sales volume of shape memory alloys and extruded-polymer products during fiscal 2008 and beyond. The Company estimates that it will invest between $3.0 million and $3.5 million in capital equipment and facility improvements during fiscal 2008. The Company expects that it will be able to finance these expenditures through a combination of existing working capital, cash flows generated through operations and increased borrowings (including equipment financing). The largest risk to the liquidity of the Company would be an event that caused an interruption of cash flow generated through operations, because such an event could also have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to access credit. The Company’s current dependence on a limited number of products and customers represents the greatest risk to operations.
 
The Company has in the past grown through acquisitions (including the Putnam Acquisition, Wire Solutions, Inc. and Raychem Corporation’s nickel titanium product line). As part of its continuing growth strategy, the Company expects to continue to evaluate and pursue opportunities to acquire other companies, assets and product lines that either complement or expand the Company’s existing businesses. In the event that the Company should make an acquisition, it intends to use available cash from operations, debt, and authorized but unissued common stock to finance any such acquisitions.
 
In December 2004, the Company signed a lease for one of its manufacturing facilities located in Menlo Park, California, expanding its usage of the building from 10,000 to 22,000 square feet. The term of the lease began on December 1, 2004 and expires on June 30, 2008. The monthly base rent is $18,000.
 
In November 2004, the Company signed a lease for Putnam’s manufacturing facility located in Dayville, Connecticut. The lessor is Mr. James V. Dandeneau, the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation, and currently a director and executive officer of the Company. The term of the lease runs from November 10, 2004 until November 30, 2009 with two renewal options to extend the lease for two terms of 30 months. The monthly rent is $18,000.

Related Party Transactions
 
Following the Putnam Acquisition, the Company entered into agreements with the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation, who is now an executive officer of Memry and serves on the Board of Directors, and continued a supply arrangement with a corporation in which he is a 50% owner. Also, in November 2004, in conjunction with the Putnam Acquisition, the Company signed a lease for Putnam’s manufacturing facility located in Dayville, Connecticut in which the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation is the lessor. The term of the lease is from November 10, 2004 to November 30, 2009 with renewal options to extend the term for thirty months. The monthly rent was based on an independent appraisal and is $18,000. In addition, the Company is leasing 2,012 square feet of warehousing space from the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation on a month-to-month basis. Total rent paid to the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation was $228,000 during the year ended June 30, 2007. The sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation also is a 50% shareholder of a company that is a supplier and customer of Putnam. Purchases from and sales to this company were $502,000 and $1,000, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2007.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. Specifically, SFAS No. 154 requires “retrospective application” of the direct effect for a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior periods’ financial statements, if it is practicable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also strictly redefines the term “restatement” to mean the correction of an error by revising previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20, which requires that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt the interpretation effective July 1, 2007, the first quarter of its 2008 fiscal year. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may be expected to result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in credit ratings of the issuer, equity prices, interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for any purpose.
 
We are also subject to interest rate risk on our $0.8 million notes payable with Webster Business Credit Corporation at June 30, 2007. Interest on the notes payable is variable based on LIBOR or an alternate base, as defined. We do not believe that an increase or decrease of 10% in the effective interest rate on the notes payable would have a material effect on our future results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Memry Corporation
Bethel, Connecticut
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Memry Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 1, 2005, the Company changed its method of accounting for share-based payment arrangements to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.”

MEMRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005
 
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of business
 
Memry Corporation, a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1981, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing products and components that are sold primarily to the medical device industry. The Company utilizes shape memory alloys (“SMAs”) and extruded polymers in the production of most of its products. The results of operations of Putnam Plastics Company LLC (“Putnam Plastics Company”) have been included in the consolidated statements of income from the November 9, 2004 date of acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumed selected liabilities of Putnam Plastics Corporation (the “Putnam Acquisition”). The term “Putnam” is used herein to refer to the business operated by Putnam Plastics Corporation prior to the Putnam Acquisition and Putnam Plastics Company thereafter. See Note 2.
 
Accounting estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Memry Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Putnam Plastics Company and Memry Holdings, S.A. Putnam Plastics Company was established to complete the Putnam Acquisition. Memry Holdings, S.A. is an inactive holding company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Restatements

For years prior to July 1, 2006, the Company classified legal costs incurred for litigating, registering and maintaining patents as research and development expense. Commencing July 1, 2006, the Company began classifying such costs as general, selling and administration expense. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company has restated the consolidated financial statements to correct this error by $270,000 and $478,000, respectively, of such costs from research and development expense to general, selling and administration expense. There was no effect on operating income as a result of this restatement.

For years prior to July 1, 2006, the Company classified certain customer reimbursements and other items as other income. Commencing July 1, 2006, the Company began classifying such amounts as other operating expenses. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements to correct this error by $141,000 and $60,000, respectively, of such amounts from other income to other operating expenses. There was no effect on net income as a result of this restatement.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. During the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits at various banks. The Company has not experienced any losses from such excess deposits.
 
Accounts receivable
 
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written-off when deemed uncollectible.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist principally of various metal alloy rod, shape memory alloys and polymer pellets. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out method, or market.
 
F-7

 
Disclosure of fair value of financial statements
 
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value because current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar remaining maturities are approximately the same.

Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company measures impairment by comparing the asset’s estimated fair value to its carrying amount. The estimated fair value of these assets is based on estimated future cash flows to be generated by the assets, discounted at a market rate of interest.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill not be amortized, but subjected to an impairment test on an annual basis or when facts and circumstances suggest such assets may be impaired. The Company has completed its impairment tests for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, which did not result in an indication of impairment. All of the $14,146,000 of goodwill at June 30, 2007 is deductible for income tax purposes.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Revenues from product sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Transfer of title and risk of ownership occurs upon shipment of product. Certain revenues are earned in connection with research and development grants and contracts, which are principally with various governmental agencies. Such revenues are recognized when services are rendered. Some of the Company’s research and development projects are customer-sponsored and typically provide the Company with the production rights or pay a royalty to the Company if a commercially viable product results. Such revenues are recognized as indicated above. Revenues from research and development activities were $5,105,000, $4,233,000 and $2,663,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs not expected to extend the life of an asset beyond its normal useful life are charged to expense when incurred. Interest costs incurred during the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized and included as part of the cost of the asset. Interest costs capitalized during the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $93,000, $87,000 and $25,000, respectively. Depreciation of equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
 
 
Years
 
Furniture and fixtures
   
5-10
 
Tooling and equipment
   
3-10
 
Office equipment
   
3-5
 
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the improvement’s estimated useful life, if shorter.
 
Deferred financing costs
 
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt. Deferred financing costs related to debt that is retired early is expensed at the time of retirement. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $96,000, $110,000 and $138,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
401(k) plan
 
The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing and savings plan for the benefit of substantially all of its employees. The Plan provides for contributions by the Company in such amounts as provided by the terms of the Plan. Contributions were $438,000, $435,000 and $280,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
F-8

 
Research and development expense
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurs research and development expenses for purposes of developing its own future products. Such costs are included in operating expenses. The Company also incurs research and development expenses that are funded by customers pursuant to customer arrangements. Such costs are included in cost of revenues and were $4,959,000, $4,753,000 and $3,415,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Shipping and handling costs
 
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in cost of revenues for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2005 these costs were included in general, selling and administration expenses and were $93,000.
 
Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their income tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws on the date of enactment.
 
Earnings per share
 
Basic earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts assume the exercise of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is antidilutive.
 
The following is information about the computation of weighted-average shares utilized in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005:
 
 
2007
 
2006
 
2005
 
Weighted average number of basic shares outstanding
   
29,572,975
   
28,788,594
   
27,496,849
 
Effect of dilutive securities:
             
Warrants
   
107,739
   
277,702
   
225,692
 
Stock options
   
274,382
   
441,484
   
540,180
 
 
             
Weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding
   
29,955,096
   
29,507,780
   
28,262,721
 
 
Stock options to purchase 1,820,468, 1,358,168 and 1,502,194 shares for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
At June 30, 2007, the Company had stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 11. “Capital Stock.” The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions where an entity exchanges its equity for goods or services and the transactions that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

Impact of recently issued accounting standards
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. Specifically, SFAS No. 154 requires “retrospective application” of the direct effect for a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior periods’ financial statements, if it is practicable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also strictly redefines the term “restatement” to mean the correction of an error by revising previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20, which requires that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
 
F-9

 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt the interpretation effective July 1, 2007, the first quarter of its 2008 fiscal year. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. 
 
Note 2. Acquisition
 
On November 9, 2004, the Company completed the Putnam Acquisition. Putnam is one of the nation’s leading, specialty polymer-extrusion companies serving the medical device, laser, fiber-optic, automotive and industrial markets. Its primary products are complex, multi-lumen, multi-layer extrusions used for guidewires, catheter shafts, delivery systems and various other interventional medical procedures. Putnam’s products are known for their complex configurations, multiple material construction and innovative designs. Putnam also is well known for its ability to manufacture to tight tolerances.
 
The purchase price, including acquisition costs, consisted of $19.1 million in cash, 2,857,143 shares of Memry Corporation common stock (with a fair value of $4.6 million) and $2.5 million in deferred payments (with a fair value of $2.2 million). The shares are subject to various restrictions, including, subject to certain exceptions, a limitation on the sale of shares in the public market to 250,000 per calendar quarter. For a description of the financing of the Putnam Acquisition, see Note 10.

Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment and written down in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceeds their fair value. The annual impairment test was performed as of November 1, 2006 and resulted in no indication of impairment. Subsequent impairment tests will be performed November 1 of each year and more frequently if circumstances warrant.
 
The Putnam Acquisition included a payment for the “Tax Gross-Up” of personal income tax differences due to the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation. At June 30, 2005, the Company had estimated that the income tax difference would be $400,000 and this amount was included in the purchase price at June 30, 2005. However, the actual amount due to the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation was $600,000. The full $600,000 was paid in fiscal 2006 and has been accounted for as goodwill. In addition, there was a final working capital adjustment that was paid in fiscal 2006 to the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation of $229,000 that was accrued for as of June 30, 2005.

Note 7. Investment / Note Receivable
 
On August 24, 2004, the Company entered into a joint development program (the “Agreement”) with Biomer Technology Limited (“Biomer”), a privately owned company specializing in the development and manufacture of state-of-the-art polymers and biocompatible coatings for stents and other medical devices. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company made a $400,000 initial investment in Biomer in the form of a 2% unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”). Interest on the Note was payable upon conversion, or upon repayment of the Note. Under the terms of the Note, the Note plus accrued interest was to be converted into ordinary shares of Biomer stock upon the occurrence of the earlier of, as defined, the successful completion of the joint development program, an additional equity financing of Biomer, the sale of Biomer, or December 31, 2005. On October 5, 2005, Biomer completed an equity financing which triggered conversion of the Note into 37,860 ordinary shares of Biomer stock. The amount of the Company’s initial investment and accrued interest of $409,000 were converted to an investment as of October 5, 2005 which, since the Company does not have a controlling ownership interest or significant influence over Biomer’s financial reporting or operations, has been accounted for on the cost basis.
 
The Agreement requires the Company to make an additional equity investment of at least $350,000 in Biomer in the event, as defined, a financing of Biomer occurs after the Note has been converted and successful completion of the joint development program has been accomplished. Additionally, as part of the joint development program and in consideration for services provided by Biomer in the joint development program, the Company agreed to pay Biomer $200,000 in four equal quarterly installments of $50,000 beginning August 24, 2004. As of December 31, 2005, all four installments had been paid totaling $200,000 since the specific milestones that indicated completion of the joint development program, as specified in the Agreement, were met. The $200,000 was amortized over the initial one-year term of the joint development program.

On November 6, 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Biomer for the exclusive worldwide license to a biocompatible coating technology with potential drug-eluting capabilities for use on Nitinol stents. The agreement also requires the Company to sponsor a pre-clinical evaluation using Biomer’s passive coatings on a self-expanding Nitinol stent platform. The agreement requires the Company to pay $305,000 for the pre-clinical evaluation and Biomer’s management over the course of the evaluation. On December 23, 2006, the Company paid $153,000 to Biomer, as required by the agreement. This $153,000 was recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets. The remaining $152,000 is payable after pre-clinical evaluation has been completed and Biomer has issued its report thereon to the Company. The $305,000 is being charged to Research and Development Expense as the pre-clinical evaluation is conducted. The pre-clinical evaluation began in June 2007 and the Company recognized Research and Development expense of $38,000 in fiscal 2007. At June 30, 2007, $115,000 has been recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.
 
Note 8. Cash Collateral Deposits
 
In connection with the Putnam Acquisition on November 9, 2004, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation (the “Webster Agreement”), which replaced the prior credit facility with Webster Bank. As part of the Webster Agreement, the Company was required to maintain cash collateral deposits of $1,500,000. On November 9, 2005, Webster Business Credit Corporation permanently waived the cash collateral deposit requirements.

In connection with the Putnam Acquisition on November 9, 2004, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation (the “Webster Agreement”). The Webster Agreement included a term loan facility consisting of a five year term loan of $1.9 million (the “Five Year Term”) and a three year term loan of $2.5 million (the “Three Year Term”), collectively (the “Term Loan Facility”). On March 26, 2007, the Company prepaid the principal amounts outstanding on the Term Loan Facility. The amount paid was $1,569,000. In connection with the prepayment of the Term Loan Facility, the Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $44,000, which represented the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. Both term loans were repayable in equal monthly installments with the additional requirement that, under the Three Year Term, a prepayment of 50% of excess cash flow, as defined, be made annually within 90 days of the Company’s fiscal year end. The excess cash flow prepayment requirement had been waived by Webster Business Credit Corporation for fiscal 2006 and 2005. Interest under the Five Year Term was based upon, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 2.50% effective December 31, 2006, previously it was LIBOR plus 2.75%, or the alternate base rate, as defined, plus 0.25%. Interest under the Three Year Term was based upon, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 3.50% effective December 31, 2006, previously it was LIBOR plus 3.75%, or the alternate base rate, as defined, plus 1.25%. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were used to repay approximately $1.4 million in outstanding borrowings under the previous facility with Webster Bank and to partially fund the Putnam Acquisition.
 
F-13

 
The Webster Agreement also provides for a revolving line of credit for borrowings up to the lesser of (a) $6,500,000 or (b) an amount equal to the aggregate of (1) 85% of the eligible accounts receivable plus (2) the lesser of $3,000,000 or 55% of eligible inventories. Interest under the revolving line of credit is based upon, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 2.50% or the alternate base rate, as defined. The entire outstanding principal amount of the revolving line of credit is due November 9, 2009. As of June 30, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit. Additionally, the Webster Agreement includes an equipment line of credit that provides for equipment financing up to the lesser of $1,000,000 or 80% of the hard cost for eligible equipment through November 9, 2005 at the same financing terms as the Five Year Term. As of November 9, 2005, $1,000,000 of the outstanding amount under the equipment line was converted to a term loan, payable monthly, based on a seven year amortization schedule, but with a balloon payment of the then unpaid balance due November 9, 2009. On December 21, 2005, the Webster Agreement was amended to provide an equipment line of credit that provides for equipment financing up to the lesser of $1,000,000 or 80% of the hard cost for eligible equipment through November 9, 2006 on the same financing terms as the Five Year Term. Borrowings under the Webster Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
The Webster Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, the limitation of mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, limitations on encumbrances and additional debt, limitations on the payment of dividends or redemption of stock and compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio, as defined. Additionally, the Company was required to maintain cash as collateral security until the Three Year Term loan is paid in full. For the first year of the Webster Agreement, the collateral security was $1,500,000. This amount had been classified as cash collateral deposits on the June 30, 2005 consolidated balance sheet. On November 9, 2005, Webster Business Credit Corporation permanently waived the cash collateral deposit requirements, and these funds have been accounted for as cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2006.
 
Additional financing for the Putnam Acquisition was obtained on November 9, 2004 from Brookside Pecks Capital Partners, L.P. and Ironbridge Mezzanine Fund, L.P. in the form of a $7.0 million subordinated loan due November 9, 2010 (the “Subordinated Loan”). The interest rate on the Subordinated Loan was 16.5%, of which 12% was payable quarterly with the remaining 4.5% payable in additional promissory notes having identical terms as the Subordinated Loan. Originally, the interest rate was 17.5%, with 5.5% payable in additional promissory notes, but was reduced during fiscal 2006 because the Company achieved certain pretax income thresholds in fiscal 2005 and it was reduced in fiscal 2007 at the discretion of the lender. On April 26, 2007, the Company prepaid the outstanding balance on the Subordinated Loan. The amount prepaid was $5,154,000. In connection with the prepayment of the Subordinated Loan, the Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $171,000 representing the write-off of $126,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs and a cash prepayment penalty of $45,000. The total of $171,000 is included in the loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2007.
 
In June 2005, the Company made a payment of $2.5 million against the Subordinated Loan which resulted in a 3% prepayment penalty of $75,000 and, as a result of the prepayment, the Company wrote-off $107,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs. The total of $182,000 is included in the loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2005.
 
The remaining financing for the Putnam Acquisition was provided for with the Company’s cash on hand and $2,500,000 in deferred payments. The deferred payments are non-interest bearing and are required to be paid to the seller in three equal annual installments. The first and second of these installments of $833,000 were paid on November 9, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
 
Note 11. Capital Stock
 
Common stock
 
During the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, 36,474, 32,610 and 39,674 shares of common stock with a fair value of $72,000, $72,000 and $78,000, respectively, were awarded to the Company’s non-employee directors. These shares were awarded to the non-employee directors in accordance with one of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Compensation expense recognized for the issuance of shares of common stock is calculated utilizing the fair market value of the common stock at the date of issuance. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company began issuing the shares in the quarter subsequent to their award. As a result, 11,040, 5,922 and 8,862 shares awarded during the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were issued in the subsequent year.
 
On November 9, 2004, in connection with the Putnam Acquisition, the Company issued 2,857,143 shares of Memry common stock (with a fair value of $4.6 million) to the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans
 
During the year ended June 30, 1994, the Company adopted the Memry Corporation Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”). Under the 1994 Plan, incentive stock options were granted at prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, and were exercisable at the date of grant unless otherwise stated. In addition, non-qualified stock options were granted at prices determined by the Company’s compensation committee, which may have been less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, in which case an expense equal to the difference between the stock option exercise price and fair market value was recognized. The exercise period for both the incentive and non-qualified stock options generally could not exceed ten years. The 1994 Plan expired on September 23, 2003. No additional stock options may be granted from the 1994 Plan after this date.
 
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company adopted the Memry Corporation Long-term Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”). Under the 1997 Plan, 6,000,000 incentive and non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees and non-employee directors under terms similar to the 1994 Plan. Stock options are granted at prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, have a ten year contractual term and vest over three or four years. Also, under the 1997 Plan, Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”), Limited Stock Appreciation Rights (“Limited SARs”), restricted stock, and performance shares may be granted to employees. With respect to SARs, upon exercise, the Company must pay to the employee the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the SARs. The SARs terms are determined at the time of each individual grant. However, if SARs are granted which are related to an incentive stock option, then the SARs will contain similar terms to the related option. Limited SARs may be granted in relation to any option or SARs granted. Upon exercise, the Company must pay to the employee the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the related options or SARs. Upon the exercise of SARs or Limited SARs, any related stock option or SARs outstanding will no longer be exercisable. As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no SARs or Limited SARs outstanding.

The Company’s stockholders approved a new long-term incentive plan, the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 20, 2006. The 2006 Plan authorizes the grant of awards to officers, employees and non-employee directors to purchase or acquire an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the 2006 Plan, the Company may grant awards of incentive and non-qualified stock options, SARs, and restricted stock, under terms similar to the 1997 Plan. Also, under the 2006 Plan, the Company may grant stock units and performance units which may be settled in stock or cash. As a result of the approval by the stockholders of the 2006 Plan, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the 1997 Plan and shares are no longer available for grant under the 1997 Plan. Stock options are granted at prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, have a ten year contractual term and vest over three or four years. As of June 30, 2007, 4,484,000 shares were available for grant under the 2006 Plan.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company began granting performance-based options (“PBOs”) under the 1997 Plan. No PBOs were granted during the year ended June 30, 2007. The Company may grant PBOs under the 2006 Plan. Under the PBO feature, each fiscal year the Company may grant selected executives and other key employees share option awards whose vesting is contingent on meeting various company-wide performance goals based primarily on revenue growth and profitability over a multi-year period. The fair value of each PBO granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the same option valuation model used for options previously granted under the 1997 Plan and assuming performance goals will be achieved. If any of such goals are met, a percentage of such options will vest in accordance with the prescribed vesting schedule. If such goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed relating to the specific goal and vesting period. The performance goals for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were not met. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recorded for the PBOs.
 
Under the 2006 Plan, restricted shares of common stock may also be granted to employees for no consideration. The terms of the restrictions are determined at the time of each individual grant. Generally, if employment is terminated during the restriction period, the participant must forfeit any common stock still subject to restriction. Performance shares are granted to employees based on individual performance goals, and may be paid in shares or cash, the amount of which is determined based on the shares earned and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the end of certain defined periods. No performance or restricted shares have been granted to employees.
 
Also under the 2006 Plan and the 1997 Plan, all non-employee directors, each quarter, are granted shares of the Company’s common stock with a value equal to $3,000 and stock options with a value equal to $4,500, determined based on the closing market value of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of such quarter. The stock options granted to non-employee directors are non-qualified options.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s directors were granted options to purchase 47,000, 53,000 and 65,000 shares, respectively.

On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions where an entity exchanges its equity for goods or services and the transactions that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions and, in effect, accounts for those transactions as part of the consolidated financial statements of the entity and not as a footnote disclosure, as the Company had elected under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted stock awards that remain outstanding as of the date of adoption. The Company recorded compensation expense of $447,000 and $364,000 in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Prior to fiscal 2007, the majority of the Company’s stock option grants had been qualified incentive stock options (“ISOs”). Beginning in fiscal 2007, the Company began issuing the majority of stock option grants as non-qualified stock options. Compensation expense for ISOs is nondeductible for income tax purposes, except as noted below. Therefore, an income tax benefit has only been recorded for compensation expense on non-qualified stock options calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company may recognize some income tax benefit in the future on ISOs issued on or after the adoption date. The amount of income tax benefit recognized will be contingent upon the number of options exercised, whether the exercise is a disqualifying disposition and the statutory income tax rate at the time of exercise, among other factors. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, compensation expense of $180,000 ($129,000 net of income taxes) and $43,000 ($26,000 net of income taxes), respectively, was recorded on non-qualified options. At June 30, 2007, there was $1,084,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

In adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company elected not to use the modified retrospective application and, therefore did not restate its results for the year ended June 30, 2005. During this year, the Company was following SFAS No. 123, which allowed an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” whereby compensation cost was the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued to employees and directors under the Company’s stock option plans have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and under Opinion No. 25 no compensation cost was recognized. Under APB Opinion No. 25, the Company generally only recorded stock-based compensation expense for the fair value of common stock issued to its directors which was $72,000 ($52,000 net of income taxes), $72,000 ($45,000 net of income taxes) and $78,000 ($48,000 net of income taxes) for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of SFAS No. 123.” For the for the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in APB Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, has provided a pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share, and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. Had compensation cost for issuance of such stock options and warrants been recognized based on the fair values of awards on the grant dates, in accordance with the method described in SFAS No. 123(R) for the year ended June 30, 2005, reported net income and per share amounts for year ended June 30, 2005, would have been as shown in the following table.

The fair value of each grant is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model based on the assumptions in the following table. The Company currently has no history or expectation of paying dividends on its common stock. The risk free interest rate was based on the United States Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the time of the grant. The weighted average expected lives (estimated period of time outstanding) was estimated using the simplified method for determining the expected term. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility for a period equal to the stock option’s expected life.

Note 13. Major Suppliers
 
The Company currently purchases a significant portion of raw materials from five suppliers. The Company obtains its SMAs from one principal source. The Company anticipates it will be able to continue to acquire SMAs in sufficient quantities for its needs from this supplier. In addition, if the Company were, for whatever reason, not able to secure an adequate supply of SMAs from this supplier, the Company has identified other suppliers that, after a period of time, would be able to supply the Company with sufficient quantities of SMAs. It is probable the Company would suffer meaningful transitional difficulties if it had to switch to and validate alternate suppliers.
 
The Company obtains its polymers from four principal sources. The Company expects to be able to continue to acquire polymers in sufficient quantities for its needs from these suppliers. In addition, if the Company were, for whatever reason, not able to secure an adequate supply of polymers from these suppliers, the Company believes that there is an active worldwide polymer market and would not anticipate any long term problem procuring necessary quantities of polymers.
 
While the Company also relies on outside suppliers for its non-SMA and non-polymer components of sub-assembled products, the Company does not anticipate any difficulty in continuing to obtain non-SMA and non-polymer raw materials and components necessary for the continuation of the Company’s business.
 
Note 14. Operating Leases
 
The Company leases its Bethel and Dayville, Connecticut and California manufacturing and office facilities under operating leases. The lease on the Bethel, Connecticut facility expires in June 2011 and the lease on the principal California facility expires in June 2008. In conjunction with the Putnam Acquisition, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the Dayville, Connecticut facility with the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation that expires in November 2009 with renewal options to extend the term for thirty months. In addition, the Company is leasing 2,012 square feet of warehousing space from the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation on a month-to-month basis. Total rent paid to the sole shareholder of Putnam Plastics Corporation was $228,000, $228,000 and $145,000 during the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases, with remaining terms of one year or more, are as follows at June 30, 2007:

Note 16. Bonus Plan
 
The Company has a bonus plan under which its employees may earn a bonus based on a combination of pre-tax profits and individual performance. The payment of bonuses is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. Expenses recognized under this plan were $733,000, $1,500,000 and $897,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Note 17. Business Segments
 
The Company’s product lines consist of SMAs and specialty polymer-extrusion products. Currently, the predominant SMA utilized by the Company is a nickel-titanium alloy commonly referred to as nitinol. Prior to the Putnam Acquisition, the Company only produced SMAs. Both product lines provide products primarily to the medical device industry using the Company’s proprietary shape memory alloy and polymer-extrusion technologies. Medical device products utilizing these technologies include stent components, catheter components, guidewires, laparoscopic surgical sub-assemblies, orthopedic instruments, urological devices and similar products. The Company also produces a limited number of products for the commercial and industrial market. In addition, the Company provides engineering services to assist customers in the development of products based on the properties of shape memory alloys and extruded polymers. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company began managing its business as two business segments: (i) Nitinol Products Segment, and (ii) Polymer Products Segment. Prior to that time, the Company had operated as one business segment. All years reflect the results based on these two business segments.
 
The Nitinol Products Segment provides design support, manufactures and markets advanced materials which possess the ability to change their shape in response to thermal and mechanical changes, and the ability to return to their original shape following deformations from which conventional materials cannot recover. The Nitinol Products Segment’s products are used in applications for stent components, filters, embolic protection devices, guidewires, catheters, surgical instruments and devices, orthopedic devices, orthodontic apparatus, high pressure sealing devices, fasteners, and other devices.
 
The Polymer Products Segment designs, manufactures and markets specialty polymer-extrusion products to companies serving the medical device, laser, fiber-optic, automotive and industrial markets. Its primary products are complex, multi-lumen, multi-layer extrusions used for guidewires, catheter shafts, delivery systems and various other interventional medical procedures. The Polymer Products Segment’s products are known for their complex configurations, multiple material construction and innovative designs, all while maintaining tight tolerances.

Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is a co-defendant in a series of counterclaims filed by Kentucky Oil, NV (“Kentucky Oil”) vs. the Company and a third-party, Schlumberger Technologies Corporation (“Schlumberger”). The referenced action was initiated by a filing made by the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on May 14, 2004. The Company filed the action in response to written statements made by Kentucky Oil to Schlumberger alleging that the Company had misappropriated proprietary technology from Kentucky Oil and improperly transferred it to Schlumberger. In its complaint, the Company alleged that Kentucky Oil committed libel, business disparagement, and engaged in unfair business practices against the Company as a result of the statements. In addition, the Company requested a declaratory judgment that no misappropriation of technology occurred.

Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, the civil action was transferred to the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, on September 13, 2004. Further, as a result of the stipulation, Kentucky Oil waived its objections to personal jurisdiction and the Company withdrew its claims for libel, disparagement, and unfair business practices, leaving the Company’s claim for a declaratory judgment as the sole remaining count.
 
Kentucky Oil filed an Answer and Counterclaims on November 2, 2004, which included counterclaims against the Company for breach of a Collaboration Agreement, on behalf of Kentucky Oil (“First and Second Counterclaims”), against the Company and Schlumberger for misappropriation of trade secrets (“Third Counterclaim”), conversion of intellectual property (“Fourth Counterclaim”), joinder of Defendant Peter Besselink as co-inventor of several patent applications filed by Schlumberger based on the alleged misappropriated intellectual property (“Fifth Counterclaim”), and, alternatively, for a declaration that the Schlumberger patent applications are invalid and unenforceable (“Sixth Counterclaim”). In February 2005, the Company and Schlumberger filed motions to dismiss Kentucky Oil’s Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Counterclaims. The motions were heard on April 1, 2005 and, on April 8, 2005, the Court issued an Order granting the motions to dismiss as to the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Counterclaims, and denying the motions as to the Third Counterclaim.
 
On May 6, 2005, Kentucky Oil filed its second amended counterclaims, adding claims against the Company and Schlumberger for unfair competition and unjust enrichment. Schlumberger filed a motion to dismiss the two new counterclaims in June 2005, and a hearing on the motions was held on July 8, 2005. On June 30, 2005, the parties held a mediation session before a court appointed mediator in which the parties did not reach a settlement. On July 14, 2005, the Court issued an order denying the motion to dismiss the newly added counterclaims.

On May 12, 2006, the Company and Schlumberger filed a motion for summary judgment that Kentucky Oil lacks standing to assert causes of action for trade secrets misappropriation and or correction of inventorship. A hearing on the motion was held on July 21, 2006 and, on December 18, 2006, the Court issued an Order acknowledging that Kentucky Oil had failed to establish ownership of the alleged trade secrets due to a faulty chain of title between previous alleged owners. However, the Court declined to enter summary judgment, but rather granted Kentucky Oil until January 10, 2007 to cure the evidentiary deficiency. Kentucky Oil filed a supplemental affidavit prior to the deadline. Pursuant to the Court’s Order, the Company and Schlumberger filed objections to the supplemental evidence within five days. The Court has not yet ruled on the sufficiency of Kentucky Oil’s supplemental evidence or the Company and Schlumberger’s objections.

On January 26, 2007, the Company and Schlumberger filed multiple motions for summary judgment against Kentucky Oil’s several counterclaims, including motions for summary judgment that: (1) Kentucky Oil is estopped from asserting loss of trade secrets, (2) Kentucky Oil’s claim for misappropriation of trade secrets and related claim for breach of contract is barred by the statute of limitations, (3) no trade secrets were misappropriated, (4) Peter Besselink made no inventive contribution to Schlumberger’s patents; (5) Kentucky Oil has not suffered any compensable injury; and for (6) partial summary judgment on Kentucky Oil’s claims for unfair competition and unjust enrichment. On May 24, 2007, the Court issued “tentative” rulings on the above motion and heard oral argument on the following day. In its tentative rulings, the Court granted Memry and Schlumberger’s motions that Kentucky Oil’s claim for misappropriation of trade secrets and related claims for unfair competition and unjust enrichment are barred by the statute of limitations. The remaining motions were denied. The Court has not yet issued final rulings. It is possible that the final rulings may differ substantively from the tentative rulings, so it is unclear at this time what issues remain for trial. It is expected that the Court will issue final rulings on the motions for summary judgment in advance of trial, which is currently set to begin on November 19, 2007.
 
On June 13, 2007, Memry filed a motion to dismiss Kentucky Oil’s counterclaims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In the motion to dismiss, Memry argued that Kentucky Oil lacks standing to assert its counterclaims in California because Kentucky Oil’s alleged predecessor in interest, United Stenting, Inc., was never qualified under California regulations to conduct business in California. Memry also reaffirmed its argument that Kentucky Oil lacks standing to sue for damages because Kentucky Oil never acquired rights to non-medical applications of the Biflex technology. The Court did not schedule oral argument for the motion to dismiss and has indicated that it will issue a ruling based solely on the papers.

On August 3, 2007, Kentucky Oil filed a motion to amend its counterclaims to include several patents that have been issued to Schlumberger based on the disputed technology over the past several months. Memry and Schlumberger filed oppositions on the grounds that Kentucky Oil’s motion is untimely, prejudicial and futile.

Pursuant to the Court’s January 4, 2007 Order in response to a motion to compel, Kentucky Oil served a supplemental initial disclosure on January 11, 2007, delineating the bases for its alleged damages. In the disclosure, Kentucky Oil contends that its current calculation for unmultiplied damages is approximately $30 million. Kentucky Oil also served two expert reports in support of its alleged damages on January 19, 2007. Notwithstanding the fact that Kentucky Oil bears the burden of proof on damages, the Company served an initial expert report on damages on January 19, 2007 concluding, inter alia, that Kentucky Oil’s alleged damages are speculative and contrary to the evidence. The Company served a full rebuttal to Kentucky Oil’s expert reports on February 9, 2007. The Company and Kentucky Oil also exchanged expert reports on certain technological issues on January 19, 2007 and served rebuttal reports on February 9, 2007.

On December 29, 2006, Kentucky Oil forwarded a settlement proposal to the Company and Schlumberger calling for, inter alia, a lump sum payment of $5 million jointly from the Company and Schlumberger and an assignment of all of the Company’s rights under the Company- Schlumberger Development Agreement to Kentucky Oil. The proposal also includes a multi-faceted licensing arrangement between Kentucky Oil and Schlumberger over the disputed Schlumberger patents. Both the Company and Schlumberger rejected the settlement proposal and declined to make a counterproposal at that time. On March 14, 2007, the parties met for a settlement conference before the magistrate judge (the Court previously ordered the parties to engage in a settlement conference prior to trial). During the settlement conference, a number of settlement offers and counter offers were made. The settlement conference did not result in a resolution of this matter. The Company believes the counterclaims are without merit and is vigorously defending its position. However, the Company has recorded a liability as of June 30, 2007 and charged the amount to operations during the year ended June 30, 2007 for its share of the last combined settlement offer made by the Company and Schlumberger to Kentucky Oil. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of this litigation, the Company does not believe that it is likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
 
There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company incidental to its business. Although the final results in such suits and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company purchases SMAs and polymer materials in connection with the manufacture of its products. Some of the Company’s vendors have minimum order requirements from their suppliers and, as a result, require the Company to place purchase orders large enough to support their own minimum order requirements. However, although the Company has open purchase orders for raw materials and supplies, the Company does not have a contractual obligation to pay for items not yet shipped.
