BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed by TLC Vision Corporation (the "Company" or "TLCVision") with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments and estimates considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2005. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries that are not considered variable interest entities (VIEs) and all VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 include certain reclassifications to conform with classifications for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 including (a) reclassifying certain labor costs from "General and administrative" to "Marketing and sales" as these costs relate to the marketing and selling efforts of the Company; (b) reclassifying clinical trial expenses incurred by OccuLogix, Inc. from "General and administrative" to "Research and development, clinical and regulatory;" and (c) reclassifying gains and losses from the sales and dispositions of fixed assets as well as other miscellaneous income and expenses to "Other" operating expenses (income). 2. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related interpretations. Accordingly, the Company records expense over the vesting period in an amount equal to the intrinsic value of the award on the grant date. The Company recorded variable stock option expense of $15,000 and $334,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, for options repriced in 2002. The following table illustrates the pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method as set forth under SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," applied to all awards: 7

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation cost is amortized using the attribution method under FASB Interpretation No. 28, "Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option Award Plans." 3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS On March 1, 2005, the Company sold its interest in Aspen Healthcare, Inc. ("Aspen") to National Surgical Centers, Inc. and recorded a gain of $0.3 million, which is included in other operating expenses (income).

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has three reportable segments: refractive, mobile cataract and age-related macular degeneration ("AMD"). The refractive segment provides the majority of the Company's revenue and consists of providing corrective laser surgery specifically related to refractive disorders, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. This segment is comprised of laser centers and the fixed and mobile access business. The mobile cataract segment provides surgery specifically for the treatment of cataracts. The AMD segment includes the Company's majority interest in OccuLogix, Inc. (formerly Vascular Sciences Corporation), OccuLogix, LP and RHEO Clinic, Inc. and consists of pursuing commercial applications of treatments of dry age-related macular degeneration. Other includes an accumulation of other healthcare business activities including the management of cataract and secondary care centers that provide advanced levels of eye care, network marketing and management to optometrists, and professional healthcare facility management. 8 The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different management and marketing strategies. The following tables set forth information by segments:

10 7. INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS As of December 31, 2003, the Company maintained a $1.2 million reserve against a $2.3 million long-term note receivable from a secondary care service provider of which the Company owns approximately 25% of the outstanding common shares. The Company had determined that the ability of this secondary care service provider to repay this note was in doubt due to the deteriorating financial condition of the investee. Through the first six months of 2004, this secondary care provider continued to improve its profitability and financial position and made all of its payments to the Company when due. As a result, the Company reevaluated the collectibility of the note as of June 30, 2004 and recorded an adjustment to reverse the remaining reserve of $1.2 million, which is included in other operating expense (income). 8. RESTRUCTURING, SEVERANCE AND OTHER CHARGES During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a $2.6 million charge for severance payments to two officers under the terms of employment contracts and a $0.2 million charge related to ongoing lease payment obligations at previously closed centers. The severance payments have been substantially paid as of June 30, 2005, while the lease costs will be paid out over the remaining terms of the leases. 9. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("Statement 123(R)"), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123"). Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Under Statement 123(R), pro forma disclosure is no longer permitted. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that the effective date of Statement 123(R) will be suspended until January 1, 2006, for calendar year companies. Statement 123(R) permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a "modified prospective" method, or a "modified retrospective" method. Under the "modified prospective" method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R). Under the "modified retrospective" method, the requirements are the same as under the "modified prospective" method, but also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with Statement 123. The Company currently utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees. While Statement 123(R) permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a "lattice" model. The Company has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options upon the adoption of Statement 123(R). The Company currently expects to adopt Statement 123(R) effective January 1, 2006, however, the Company has not yet determined which of the aforementioned adoption methods it will use. In addition, the Company has not yet determined the financial statement impact of adopting Statement 123(R) for 2006. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 11, 2005, the Company acquired an 82% interest in the assets of Kremer Laser Eye ("Kremer") for $24.3 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities.

OVERVIEW TLC Vision Corporation is a diversified eye care services company dedicated to improving lives through better vision by providing eye doctors with the tools and technologies they need to deliver high quality patient care. The majority of the Company's revenues comes from refractive surgery, which involves using an excimer laser to treat common refractive vision disorders such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. The Company's business models include arrangements ranging from owning and operating fixed site centers to providing access to lasers through fixed site and mobile service relationships. In addition to refractive surgery, the Company is diversified into other eye care businesses. Through its Midwest Surgical Services, Inc. ("MSS") subsidiary, the Company furnishes hospitals and independent surgeons with mobile or fixed site access to cataract surgery equipment and services. Through its OR Partners and Michigan subsidiaries, TLCVision develops, manages and has equity participation in single-specialty eye care ambulatory surgery centers and multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers. The Company also owns a 51% majority interest in Vision Source, an optometric franchise network for independent optometrists. The Company is also a 51% majority owner of OccuLogix, Inc., which focuses on the treatment of a specific eye disease known as dry age-related macular degeneration, via rheopheresis, a process for filtering blood. OccuLogix, Inc. is also a registered filer with the Commission. The Company serves surgeons who performed over 147,000 procedures, including refractive and cataract procedures at the Company's centers or using the Company's equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company continually assesses patient, optometric and ophthalmic industry trends and developing strategies to improve laser vision correction revenues and procedure volumes. Additionally, it is pursuing growth initiatives and investment opportunities in the refractive market and within its other healthcare services. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On March 1, 2005, the Company sold its interest in Aspen Healthcare, Inc. ("Aspen") to National Surgical Centers, Inc. and recorded a gain of $0.3 million, which is included in other operating expenses (income). The Company's strategy includes periodic acquisitions of or investments in entities that operate in the refractive, cataract or eye care markets. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $66.8 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 3% over revenues of $64.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was due to a 2% increase in refractive 12 revenues and a 7% increase in other healthcare services revenues. Approximately 72% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were derived from refractive services compared to 73% during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Revenues from the refractive segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $47.8 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 2% from revenues of $46.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Refractive revenues increased as a result of an increased mix of higher priced procedures, primarily Custom LASIK, Wavelight and Intralase. The increase in refractive revenues was partially offset by a decrease in refractive procedures. Refractive procedures for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were approximately 49,900, a decrease of 1,700 or 3% from refractive procedures of 51,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Procedures for Laser Eye Care of California ("LECC") were included in both periods and account for 4,600 procedures for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 600 procedures over the prior year period. The Company owns a 30% interest in LECC. Revenues from centers for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $38.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 4% from revenues of $36.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in revenues from centers was due to an increase in centers procedures and an increased mix of higher priced procedures. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, centers procedures were approximately 30,600, an increase of 300 or 1% over centers procedures of 30,300 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Included in this increase were 200 or 1% more procedures at centers open during both the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Revenues from access services for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $9.8 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 7% from revenues of $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decline in access revenues was primarily due to 2,000 or 9% fewer procedures partially offset by higher average pricing due to an increase in Custom LASIK procedures. The cost of refractive revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $33.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 4% over the cost of refractive revenues of $31.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with higher priced procedures. Primarily as a result of lower access procedure volumes, gross margins for the refractive business as a whole decreased to 31% during the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 32% in the prior year period. The cost of revenues from centers for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $25.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 5% from the cost of revenues of $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increased procedure volume and higher costs associated with higher priced procedures. Gross margins from centers remained constant at 32% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The cost of revenues from access services for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $7.2 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 1% from the cost of revenues of $7.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to higher average costs due to an increase in Custom LASIK procedures partially offset by a decrease in procedures. Gross margins decreased to 27% from 32% primarily due to a decrease in procedures and lower margins on Custom LASIK procedures. Revenues from other healthcare services for the three months ended June 30, 2005, were $19.0 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 7% from revenues of $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Approximately 28% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were derived from other healthcare services compared to 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in other healthcare services revenue resulted from internal growth of existing businesses and contributions from businesses acquired within the past year. The cost of revenues from other healthcare services for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $11.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million or 6% from cost of revenues of $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cost of revenues primarily related to incremental costs incurred to generate the increased revenue of the other healthcare service business. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, gross margins increased to 41% from 40% for the prior year period due to volume growth and a higher percentage of total revenue generated from Vision Source, which has relatively higher gross margins. General and administrative expenses increased to $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The $3.1 million or 51% increase included a $1.9 million increase from 13 the AMD segment as OccuLogix, Inc. incurs costs to prepare for the commercialization of the RHEO(TM) System in the United States. The remaining $1.2 million increase was primarily due to additional staffing costs, corporate taxes and other operating expenses. Marketing and sales expenses increased to $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The $1.1 million or 24% increase included a $0.1 million increase from the AMD segment, and a $1.0 million increase in the refractive business. Research and development, clinical and regulatory expenses increased to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Research and development, clinical and regulatory expenses are incurred by OccuLogix, Inc. as it conducts clinical trials related to its rheopheresis application to the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Other operating income of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 resulted from a $0.3 million reimbursement from a previous research and development investment and $0.1 million of miscellaneous operating income. As of June 30, 2004, the Company fully reversed a reserve by $1.2 million related to a long-term note receivable due to a consistent payment history and continually improving financial strength of the debtor. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a $2.6 million charge for severance payments to two officers under the terms of employment contracts and a $0.2 million charge for ongoing lease payment obligations at previously closed centers. Interest income increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This $0.7 million increase is due to an increase in the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balances as well as higher rates of return. Interest expense decreased to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This $0.3 million decrease is due to declining debt and lease obligations. Minority interest expense decreased to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This $1.4 million decrease was from the AMD segment. Earnings from equity investments increased to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This $0.1 million increase is primarily due to earnings from an ASC in which the Company acquired a minority ownership in December 2004. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $5.5 million or $0.08 per share from $6.2 million or $0.09 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This $0.7 million decrease included a $1.1 million decrease from the AMD segment. Excluding the impact of the AMD segment, net income increased to $7.1 million or $0.10 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $6.8 million or $0.09 per share for the prior year period. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $137.9 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 6% over revenues of $129.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was due to a 5% increase in refractive revenues and a 9% increase in other healthcare services revenues. Approximately 75% of total revenues were derived from refractive services for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Revenues from the refractive segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $103.0 million, an increase of $5.2 million or 5% from revenues of $97.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in refractive revenues was due to an increase in centers procedures and an increased mix of higher priced procedures partially offset by a decrease in access revenues. Refractive procedures for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were approximately 108,600, an increase of 100 over refractive procedures of 108,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Procedures for LECC were included in both periods and account for 9,400 procedures for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 1,400 procedures over the prior year period. The Company owns a 30% interest in LECC. 14 Revenues from centers for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $81.8 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 9% from revenues of $75.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in revenues from centers was due to an increase in centers procedures and an increased mix of higher priced procedures. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, centers procedures were approximately 66,000, an increase of 3,000 or 5% over centers procedures of 63,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to 3,000 or 5% more procedures at centers open during both the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Revenues from access services for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $21.2 million, a decrease of $1.4 million or 6% from revenues of $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decline in access revenues was primarily due to 2,800 or 6% fewer procedures. The cost of refractive revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $69.1 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 4% over the cost of refractive revenues of $66.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increased procedure volume and higher costs associated with higher priced procedures. Primarily as a result of higher procedure volumes at centers, gross margins for the refractive business as a whole increased to 33% during the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 32% in the prior year period. The cost of revenues from centers for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $54.5 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 7% from the cost of revenues of $50.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increased procedure volume and higher costs associated with higher priced procedures. Gross margins from centers increased to 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 32% during the prior year period as increased procedure volumes led to incremental variable margin gains at many of the Company's centers. The cost of revenues from access services for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $14.6 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 5% from the cost of revenues of $15.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease primarily resulted from lower procedure volume. Gross margins decreased to 31% from 32% primarily due to a decrease in procedures. Revenues from other healthcare services for the six months ended June 30, 2005, were $34.9 million, an increase of $2.9 million or 9% from revenues of $32.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Approximately 25% of total revenues were derived from other healthcare services for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The cost of revenues from other healthcare services for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $21.4 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 8% from cost of revenues of $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cost of revenues primarily related to incremental costs incurred to generate the increased revenue of the other healthcare service business. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, gross margins increased to 39% from 38% for the prior year period due to volume growth and a higher percentage of total revenue generated from Vision Source, which has relatively higher gross margins. General and administrative expenses increased to $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The $5.5 million or 43% increase included a $3.7 million increase from the AMD segment as OccuLogix, Inc. incurs costs to prepare for the commercialization of the RHEO(TM) System in the United States. The remaining $1.8 million increase was primarily due to additional staffing costs, professional fees, corporate taxes and costs related to businesses acquired within the last year. Marketing and sales expenses increased to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The $1.9 million or 22% increase included a $0.3 million increase from the AMD segment, and a $1.6 million increase in the refractive business. Research and development, clinical and regulatory expenses increased to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Research and development, clinical and regulatory expenses are incurred by OccuLogix, Inc. as it conducts clinical trials related to its rheopheresis application to the United States FDA. Other operating income of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted from a $0.3 million gain on the sale of Aspen, a $0.3 million reimbursement from a previous research and development investment, $0.1 million of net gains from the sales and disposals of fixed assets and $0.3 million of miscellaneous operating income. For the six months ended 15 June 30, 2004, other operating income of $1.7 million resulted from a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a controlling interest in LECC, a $1.2 million reversal of a reserve related to a long-term note receivable and $0.1 million of miscellaneous operating income offset by $0.7 million of net losses related to the sales and disposals of fixed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a $2.6 million charge for severance payments to two officers under the terms of employment contracts and a $0.2 million charge for ongoing lease payment obligations at previously closed centers. Interest income increased to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $1.3 million increase is due to an increase in the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balances as well as higher rates of return. Interest expense decreased to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $0.7 million decrease is due to declining debt and lease obligations. Minority interest expense decreased to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $2.5 million decrease included a $2.9 million decrease from the AMD segment offset by a $0.4 million or 9% increase from the Company's other business segments. Earnings from equity investments increased to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $0.3 million increase is primarily due to earnings from an ASC in which the Company acquired a minority ownership in December 2004. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to $15.1 million or $0.21 per share from $14.3 million or $0.20 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $0.8 million increase included a $2.2 million decrease from the AMD segment. Excluding the impact of the AMD segment, net income increased to $18.4 million or $0.25 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $15.3 million or $0.22 per share for the prior year period. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company continued to focus its activities primarily on expanding its refractive centers and other healthcare businesses through internal growth and acquisitions. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash were $142.5 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $145.4 million at December 31, 2004. Working capital at June 30, 2005 was $142.2 million, an increase of $11.0 million from $131.2 million at December 31, 2004. The Company's principal cash requirements have included normal operating expenses, debt repayment, distributions to minority partners, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company invested $5.2 million in fixed assets and received vendor financing for $1.2 million of fixed assets. As new technologies emerge in the refractive market, the Company may need to upgrade its equipment, including excimer lasers and flap-making technology. The Company has access to vendor financing at fixed interest rates or on a per procedure fee basis and expects to continue to have access to these financing options for at least the next 12 months. The Company estimates that existing cash balances and short-term investments, together with funds expected to be generated from operations and credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated level of operations and expansion plans for at least the next 12 to 18 months. At December 31, 2004 the Company reported $2.8 million of exit liabilities primarily related to severance costs for two former officers under the terms of employment contracts and ongoing lease obligations at closed centers. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company made cash payments of $2.1 million in respect of these exit liabilities, resulting in a $0.7 million exit liability at June 30, 2005. 16 CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005 were primarily due to net income of $15.1 million plus non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of $8.0 million and minority interest expense of $1.8 million, offset by an increase in net operating assets of $10.4 million, earnings from equity investments of $1.3 million and a gain on the sale of a subsidiary of $0.3 million. The increase in net operating assets consisted of a $2.2 million increase in accounts receivable due primarily to higher revenues during the seasonably strong first and second quarters, a $3.3 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $4.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Excluding the impact of the AMD segment, net cash provided by operating activities would have been $23.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by investing activities was $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The cash flows provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily included net proceeds from the sales of short-term investments of $33.3 million, proceeds from the sale of a subsidiary of $3.4 million, distributions and loan payments received from equity investments of $1.4 million, proceeds from the sales of fixed assets of $0.7 million and a $0.3 million reimbursement from a previous research and development investment. These cash flows were offset by capital expenditures of $5.2 million and acquisitions and equity investments of $8.9 million. Excluding the impact of the AMD segment, net cash provided by investing activities would have been $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES Net cash used in financing activities was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily related to the repayment of certain notes payable and capitalized lease obligations of $6.1 million and distributions to minority interests of $3.7 million, offset by proceeds from debt financing of $1.3 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.1 million and proceeds from the issuance of OccuLogix, Inc. common stock of $0.1 million. Excluding the impact of the AMD segment, net cash used in investing activities would have been $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 11, 2005, the Company acquired an 82% interest in the assets of Kremer Laser Eye ("Kremer") for $24.3 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities. Kremer includes three refractive centers and one ambulatory surgery center all of which are located in the northeastern part of the United States. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate risks and foreign currency risks, which the Company does not currently consider to be material. These exposures primarily relate to having short-term investments earning short-term interest rates and to having fixed rate debt. The Company views its investment in foreign subsidiaries as a long-term commitment, and does not hedge any translation exposure. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. 17 As of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
