PART I

Item 1. Business

Introduction

We develop, manufacture, sell and market minimally invasive therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Our products are catheter-based alternative treatments for abdominal aortic aneurysm, or AAA. AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery of the body. Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and if left untreated becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAAs is approximately 75%, making it the 13th leading cause of death in the United States today.

The Powerlink^® System is a catheter and endoluminal graft, or ELG, system. The self-expanding cobalt chromium alloy stent cage is covered by ePTFE, a common surgical graft material. The Powerlink ELG is implanted in the abdominal aorta, which is accessed through the femoral artery. Once deployed into its proper position, the blood flow is shunted away from the weakened or “aneurysmal” section of the aorta, reducing pressure and the potential for the aorta to rupture. Our clinical trials demonstrate that implantation of our products will reduce the mortality and morbidity rates associated with conventional AAA surgery, as well as provide a clinical alternative to many patients that could not undergo conventional surgery.

Prior to developing the Powerlink System, we developed various catheter-based systems to treat cardiovascular disease. We licensed our proprietary Focus balloon technology to Guidant Corporation for use in Guidant’s coronary stent delivery systems. Sales of our Powerlink System in the United States and in Europe are the primary sources of our reported revenues.

We were incorporated in California in March 1992 under the name Cardiovascular Dynamics, Inc. and reincorporated in Delaware in June 1993. In January 1999, we merged with privately held Radiance Medical Systems, Inc. and changed our name to Radiance Medical Systems, Inc. and in May 2002, we merged with privately held Endologix, Inc., and changed our name to Endologix, Inc.

Industry Background

Atherosclerosis is the thickening and hardening of arteries. Some hardening of arteries occurs naturally as people grow older. Atherosclerosis involves deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium and other substances on the inner lining of an artery. Atherosclerosis is a slow, complex disease that starts in childhood and often progresses with age.

Atherosclerosis also can reduce the integrity and strength of the vessel wall, causing the vessel wall to expand or balloon out, which is known as an aneurysm. Aneurysms are commonly diagnosed in the aorta, which is the body’s largest artery. The highest incidence of aortic aneurysms occurs in the segment below the opening of the arteries that feed the kidneys, the renal arteries, to where the aorta divides into the two iliac arteries that travel down the legs. Once diagnosed, patients with AAA require either a combination of medical therapy and non-invasive monitoring, or they must undergo a major surgery procedure to repair the aneurysm.

For years, physicians have been interested in less invasive methods to treat AAA disease as an alternative to the current standard of surgical repair. The high morbidity and mortality rates of surgery are well documented, yet medical pharmacological management for this condition carries the catastrophic risk of aneurysm rupture. Physicians and commercial interests alike began investigating catheter-based alternatives to repair an aneurysm from within, utilizing surgical grafts in combination with expandable wire cages or scaffolds to exclude blood flow and pressure from the weakened segment of the aorta.

We believe the appeal of the Powerlink System for patients, physicians, and health-care payors is compelling. The conventional treatment is a highly invasive, open surgical procedure requiring a large incision in the patient’s abdomen, withdrawal of the patient’s intestines to provide access to the aneurysm, and the cross clamping of the aorta to stop blood flow. This procedure typically lasts two to four hours and is performed under general anesthesia. This surgery has an operative mortality rate estimated to range from 4% to 10%. In addition, complication rates vary

depending upon patient risk classification, ranging from 15% for low-risk patients to 40% for high-risk patients. The typical recovery period for conventional AAA surgery includes a hospital stay of 10 to 15 days and post-hospital convalescence of 8 to 12 weeks. Our minimally invasive treatment of AAA requires only a small incision in the femoral artery of the leg, minimizing both hospital lengths of stay and the amount of time required for convalescence. Many patients can be treated utilizing only a local or regional anesthesia.

Market Opportunity

In the United States alone, an estimated 1.5 million people have an AAA, and yet there are only about 200,000 new diagnoses each year. Although AAA is one of the most serious cardiovascular diseases, many AAAs are never detected. Approximately 75% of AAA patients do not have symptoms at the time of their initial diagnosis, and AAAs generally are discovered inadvertently during procedures to diagnose unrelated medical conditions. Once an AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured aneurysms is approximately 75%.

Patients diagnosed with an AAA larger than five centimeters can be classified into one of three categories: those patients opting for elective surgery, patients who refuse surgery due to the clinical risks of an open procedure, and those who are considered at high risk for an open procedure. These high-risk patients and those refusing surgery will populate the initial patient pool for less invasive techniques. We believe that ELGs could be applied to as many as 60%-70% of the approximately 40,000 surgeries performed in the United States each year.

We estimate that this year, of those patients diagnosed with AAA, approximately 30,000 undergo conventional open surgery, 30,000 will be treated with a commercially available ELG, and the remainder will remain under “watchful waiting.”

AAAs generally are more prevalent in people over the age of 65 and are more common in men than in women. In addition to the current pool of potential patients, we expect that the number of persons seeking treatment for their condition will increase based on demographic factors. In 2006, the age 65 and over population in the United States numbered approximately 36.8 million, or 12.7% of the total population, and is expected to be 39.7 million by 2010. It is growing at a higher rate than the overall United States population.

We believe that the market opportunity outside of the United States for these technologies is estimated to be equal in size to that in the United States.

Our Strategy

Our objective is to become a premier supplier of endovascular surgery products that repair diseased or damaged vascular structures as an alternative to open surgery. As part of our core strategy, we intend to:

	•		Demonstrate a Significant Technology Advantage. Our strategy has been to develop technology that addresses the limitations of the early generation devices, and execute clinical studies to substantiate the superiority of the technology. Being “first to market” has not been an advantage in the AAA market thus far, as other devices approved for marketing in the United States have undergone post-approval recalls and/or temporary sales suspensions.

	•		Execute a Global Marketing Strategy and Address Key Markets. We have obtained the right to affix the CE Mark, and utilize distributors in markets outside the United States. We have sought to limit our capital commitments by establishing sales through distributors due to limitations on the size of the market, average sales price and device reimbursement in Europe.

	•		Continue to Develop Core Competencies and Develop Synergistic Collaborations. We believe we have demonstrated core competencies in developing catheter-based solutions that address a large unmet clinical need that we identified after close consultation with key physicians. Our focus at this time is the aortic aneurysm. In the future, we may develop additional devices to expand the application of our core competencies.

Our Products

Powerlink System

Our Powerlink System consists of a self-expanding cobalt chromium alloy stent cage covered with ePTFE, a common surgical graft material. The Powerlink ELG is implanted in the abdominal aorta, gaining access by a small incision through the femoral artery. Once deployed into its proper position, the blood flow is shunted away from the weakened, or aneurysmal, section of the aorta, reducing pressure and the potential for the aorta to rupture.

We believe the Powerlink System is a superior design that overcomes the inherent limitations of early generation devices and offers the following advantages:

	•		One-Piece, Bifurcated ELG. This eliminates many of the problems associated with early generation multi-piece systems. Our products eliminate much of the guidewire manipulation required during the procedure to assemble the component parts of a modular system, thereby simplifying the procedure. In addition, in the follow-up period, there can be no limb component separation with a one-piece system. We believe this should result in continued long-term exclusion of the aneurysm, and improved clinical results.

	•		Fully Supported. The main body and limbs of the Powerlink System are fully supported by a cobalt chromium alloy cage. The cobalt chromium alloy cage greatly reduces or eliminates the risk of kinking of the stent graft in even tortuous anatomies, eliminating the need for additional procedures or costly peripheral stents. Kinking may result in reduced blood flow and limb thrombosis.

	•		Unique, Minimally Invasive Delivery Mechanism. The Powerlink System requires only a small surgical incision in one leg. The other leg needs only placement of a non-surgical introducer sheath, three millimeters in diameter. Other ELGs typically need surgical exposure of the femoral artery in both legs to introduce the multiple components. Our unique delivery mechanism and downsizing of the catheter permits our technology to be used in patients having small or very tortuous access vessels.

	•		Self-Expanding. The stent is formed from cobalt chromium alloy in a proprietary configuration that is protected by our patent portfolio. This proprietary design expands to the proper size of the target aorta and eliminates the need for hooks or barbs for attachment. Based on our results to date, the Powerlink System has an excellent record of successful deployments.

	•		Single Wire and Long Main Body Design. The long main body of the stent cage is made of a continuous piece of wire, shaped into its appropriate configuration. Migration of individual stent graft components is eliminated. In addition the long main body places the Powerlink System near or at the aortic bifurcation, which minimizes the risk of device migration during the follow-up period.

Limitations of Earlier Technology

Our technology is dramatically different than devices currently available commercially. Despite enthusiasm by physicians and patients alike for minimally invasive technology, we believe early generation devices have achieved a limited market penetration due to design limitations and related complications. The published clinical literature details many of the deficiencies of these approaches. In our opinion, early generation devices were limited because assembly was required by the surgeon. Multi-piece, or modular, systems require assembly by the mating of multiple components to form a bifurcated stent graft within the aneurysm sac. These systems can be more difficult to implant and lead to longer operative times. In addition, there are a number of reports of component detachment during the follow-up period. Component detachment can lead to a leak and a re-pressurization of the sac. We believe this increases the risk of AAA rupture, often requiring a highly invasive, open surgical procedure to repair the detachment.

Powerlink System Products

Variations in patient anatomies require an adaptive technology. We designed our Powerlink System, with multiple aortic cuffs, limb extensions, bifurcated main body lengths and diameters to simplify procedures, improve clinical results, and drive product adoption by offering physicians a full line of products that are adaptable for treatment of the majority of patients with AAA disease.

Powerlink Infrarenal Bifurcated Systems. The Powerlink Infrarenal Bifurcated System is available in multiple diameters and lengths and can treat patients that have an aortic neck up to 26 millimeters in diameter. The infrarenal device is made of a cobalt chromium alloy cage covered by thin-walled ePTFE for placement below the renal arteries. The self-expanding cage permits the graft to be used in a wide range of neck diameters, which allows us to treat a wide variety of anatomies with a standard device making it easier for hospital purchasing patterns. We obtained the CE Mark for this product in Europe in August 1999, and obtained United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, pre-marketing approval in October 2004. We commenced commercial sales in the United States in December 2004 and executed a focused United States launch throughout 2005. In 2006, we accelerated the launch with the addition of twenty-one sales representatives, three regional managers and one national manager.

Powerlink Suprarenal Bifurcated System. The Powerlink Suprarenal Bifurcated System is similar to the infrarenal device, except that the wire stent in the suprarenal device is extended above the graft material to allow the physician to anchor the top of the device above the renal arteries without obstructing them. The suprarenal device is available in multiple diameters and lengths and can treat patients that have an aortic neck up to 32 millimeters in diameter. The suprarenal model has a segment of uncovered stent at the proximal end that permits the operator to place the device more proximally, over the opening of the renal arteries in patients with short or angulated aortic necks. The uncovered stent permits continuous blood flow to the renal arteries, thereby mitigating the risk of kidney complications. We obtained the CE Mark for this product in Europe in August 1999, and are currently enrolling patients in an arm of a Phase II pivotal trial in the United States.

Powerlink Aortic Cuffs and Limb Extensions. The Powerlink Aortic Cuffs and Limb Extensions permit the physician to treat a greater number of patients. Aortic cuffs are available in 25, 28 and 34 millimeters in diameter and multiple lengths. They also are available in the infrarenal or suprarenal configurations. Limb extensions are 20 millimeters and 16 millimeters in diameter with various lengths, allowing the physician to customize the technology to a given individual. We have obtained the CE Mark for these products in Europe in October 1999 (Limb Extensions), December 1999 (25/28 Cuffs) and May 2002 (34 Cuff). We obtained United States FDA marketing approval in October 2004 for the 25 and 28 millimeter infrarenal cuffs, and the 20 and 16 millimeter limb extensions.

Clinical Trials

Powerlink Systems

As of February 14, 2007, 146 of the 193 patients required have been enrolled for the second arm of United States Pivotal Phase II clinical trial for the suprarenal Powerlink System.

As of February 14, 2007, 50 of the 60 patients have been enrolled in a United States Pivotal Phase II clinical trial utilizing a 34 mm proximal cuff in conjunction with a commercial bifurcated Powerlink to treat patients with large aortic necks. Currently only one commercial device is capable of treating aortic necks larger than 28 mm. We believe that approximately 10-15% of all potential patients are refused minimally invasive treatment due to anatomic considerations.

Japanese Clinical Trial on the PowerWeb System.

The PowerWeb System is the predecessor to the Powerlink System. The two designs utilize the same stent cage configuration but use different methods to link the wire forms. In November 2001, we completed the first AAA clinical trial in Japan, including the required 6 month follow up. Six centers used the PowerWeb System for elective endovascular aneurysm repair in 79 patients.

The patients age range was 40 to 89 years, with a mean age range of 70 to 79 years. The effectiveness of the PowerWeb System was measured based on whether there was a persistent endoleak, device migration, device damage, or change in aneurysm sac shape over a 6 month follow period. Only 2.9% of all patients and 1.7% of patients implanted with bifurcated devices experienced these problems. Safety of the PowerWeb System was based on adverse events, which occurred in 22 patients after treatment, of which five were device related. The total safety

evaluation ratings demonstrated that 68 patients (98.5%) were treated safely. Trial results showed a combined rating of effectiveness and safety for 66 patients (95.6%) and the clinicians recommended approval of the PowerWeb System as a low invasive medical device for aneurysms.

Marketing and Sales

Powerlink System

United States. We began a focused launch of the Powerlink System in the United States with six sales representatives and two clinical specialists in late 2004. We have expanded our domestic sales force to forty-four sales representatives, eight regional managers, and one national manager as of December 31, 2006. The primary customer and decision maker for these devices in the United States is the vascular surgeon. The market is fairly concentrated with estimates of 1,000 to 1,500 potential general and vascular surgeons, and a limited number of interventional cardiologists and radiologists, in approximately 1,000 hospitals.

Europe. The market for ELGs in Europe is influenced by vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and, to a lesser extent, interventional cardiologists who perform catheter directed treatment of AAA. The European market is less concentrated than the domestic market. We have obtained the right to affix the CE Mark to our family of Powerlink products. Europe represents a smaller market opportunity due to capitated hospital budgets and a selling price that is typically less than in the United States. We currently sell our devices through LeMaitre Vascular as well as other exclusive independent distributors, supported by a direct regional manager based in Europe. We will participate in and share the costs of attending key cardiovascular conferences in Europe. We expect to continue to interface with key opinion leaders in Europe

Japan. In 2005, per request of the Japanese Ministry of Health, we submitted data on the FDA approved Powerlink System. This permits us to submit Powerlink data for Shonin approval without the need for additional clinical trials, and upon approval will permit the Company to have a single technology platform for Europe, the United States, and Japan. We estimate that it will receive Shonin approval in the second quarter of 2007.

Rest of World, excluding Japan. We have obtained marketing approval in a number of countries, including China, Australia, Argentina, and South Africa and have initial clinical experience in each of these locales.

Legacy Products

In June 1998, we entered into a technology license agreement with Guidant, an international interventional cardiology products company, granting a 10 year license to manufacture and distribute stent delivery products using our Focus technology. The original territory for the license was the United States and Canada, but has expanded with the expiration of distribution relations in other countries. If for any calendar year, after timely written notice by us to Guidant of a shortfall in royalty payments below the annual minimum royalty required, they elect not to pay us at least the minimum royalty, we can cancel the agreement. Also, as Guidant has paid to date the aggregate payment amount required under the contract, they can at any time, with or without cause, terminate the agreement upon thirty days notice. We are entitled to receive royalties on Guidant’s sales. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded $250,000 in royalties. We anticipate that royalties from Guidant will remain at approximately this level through the remaining term of the agreement, which expires in 2008.

Manufacturing

We manufacture our products at our facilities in Irvine, California. During 2005, we relocated both our manufacturing and headquarters functions to a 30,200 square foot leased facility.

Our current manufacturing process is labor intensive and involves shaping and forming a cobalt chromium wire cage, sewing graft material together to form the outside skin of the device and suturing the graft material on to the cage. While we plan to make process improvements to reduce the labor component of the production, the majority of the direct cost comes from the ePTFE graft material, which has pricing set by our agreement with Bard Peripheral Vascular Systems described below.

In February 1999, we entered into a supply agreement with Bard Peripheral Vascular Systems, a subsidiary of C.R. Bard, Inc for the supply of ePTFE. The supply agreement expires in December 2007, at which time it automatically renews on a year-by-year basis, for additional one-year periods, unless either party gives the other party notice of its intention not to renew within 30 days from the expiration date of the applicable renewal period. Under the terms of a second amendment to the supply agreement dated September 8, 2006, the minimum purchase requirements under the supply agreement were reduced and we must purchase a specified annual dollar value of the component, as opposed to a quantity of units, for the remaining term of the agreement.

Patents and Proprietary Information

We have an aggressive program to develop intellectual property in the United States, Europe and Asia. We are building a portfolio of apparatus and method patents covering various aspects of our current and future technology. In the AAA area, we have 17 United States patents issued, covering 361 claims, and twelve pending United States patent applications. Our current AAA related patents begin expiring in 2017 and the last patent expires in 2019. We intend to continue to file for patent protection to strengthen our intellectual property position as we continue to develop our technology.

In addition to our AAA intellectual property, we own or have the rights to 38 issued United States patents, one issued European patent, and one Japanese patent relating to intravascular radiation, stents, and various catheter technologies. The non-AAA patents begin expiring in 2012 and the last patent expires in 2018. Our technology license to Guidant is supported by seven United States patents and one Japanese patent. These patents begin expiring in 2014 and the last patent expires in 2016.

Our policy is to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, filing United States and foreign patent applications to protect technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our business. We require our employees, consultants and advisors to execute confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment, consulting or advisory relationships. We also require employees, consultants and advisors who may work on our products to agree to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived during the work day, using our property or which relate to our business.

Competition

Any product we develop that gains regulatory clearance or approval will have to compete for market acceptance and market share. We believe that the primary competitive factors in the market for AAA devices are:

	•		clinical effectiveness;

	•		product safety, ease of use, reliability and durability;

	•		ability to receive regulatory approval;

	•		distribution capability;

	•		time necessary to develop products successfully; and

	•		price.

We expect that significant competition in the endovascular grafting market will develop over time. Three manufacturers, Medtronic, W.L. Gore, and Cook have obtained FDA marketing approval for their ELGs. However, we believe that our technology offers significant clinical advantages over currently available technologies. The cardiovascular device industry is marked by rapid technological improvements and, as a result, physicians are quick to seize upon improved designs. Significant market share and revenue can be captured by designs demonstrating superior clinical outcomes. We believe deliverability of the device, dependability of the clinical results and the durability of the product design are the most important product characteristics. The Powerlink System is the only available one-piece bifurcated, fully supported ELG, and we believe that the Powerlink System will offer improved deliverability, dependability, and durability.

Companies that are “first to market” in the United States with a new technique must underwrite the significant and expensive challenge of physician training and proctoring. In addition, the first generation companies have borne these costs as well as costs of addressing reimbursement issues. We believe that our Powerlink System represents next generation technology that is poised to take advantage of a well-prepared market.

We believe that earlier generation technology devices experienced material failures and complications due to their reliance on multi-piece designs that did not include a stent cage to support the entire graft, or designs with hooks or barbs to hold their devices in place (See the section above entitled “Limitations of Earlier Technology” for a discussion of these factors). Our Powerlink System is a single- piece, fully supported design that uses radial force and column strength to maintain fixation. We believe that our grafts may offer a competitive advantage. The following chart that details the stent graft characteristics of the minimally-invasive AAA stent grafts being sold in Europe and/or the United States.

In addition to the competitors mentioned above, Terumo-Vascutek and Lombard Medical are believed to have development programs.

Most of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources than we do and also have greater resources and expertise in the areas of research and development, obtaining regulatory approvals, manufacturing and marketing. We cannot assure you that competitors and potential competitors will not succeed in developing, marketing and distributing technologies and products that are more effective than those we will develop and market or that would render our technology and products obsolete or noncompetitive. We may be unable to compete effectively against such competitors and other potential competitors based upon their manufacturing, marketing and sales resources.

Any product we develop that gains regulatory clearance or approval will have to compete for market acceptance and market share. An important factor in such competition may be the timing of market introduction of competitive products. Accordingly, we expect the relative speed with which we can develop products, gain regulatory approval and reimbursement acceptance and supply commercial quantities of the product to the market to be an important competitive factor. In addition, we believe that the primary competitive factors for products addressing AAA include deliverability, safety, efficacy, ease of use, reliability, service and price. We also believe that physician relationships, especially relationships with leaders in the interventional cardiology community are important competitive factors.

Third-Party Reimbursement

In the United States, medical institutions are the primary purchasers of our products. Medical institutions then bill various third-party payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs and private insurance plans, for the healthcare services and products provided to patients. Government agencies, private insurers and other payors determine whether to provide coverage for a particular procedure and reimburse hospitals for medical treatment at a fixed rate based on the diagnosis-related group established by the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS. The fixed rate of reimbursement is based on the procedure performed, and is unrelated to the specific devices used in that procedure.

Reimbursement of interventional procedures utilizing our products currently is covered under a diagnosis-related group. Some payors may deny reimbursement if they determine that the device used in a treatment was unnecessary, inappropriate or not cost-effective, experimental or used for a non-approved indication. Therefore, we cannot assure you that reimbursement for any new procedure we develop will be available to hospitals and other users of our products, or that future reimbursement policies of payors will not hamper our ability to sell new products on a profitable basis.

In October 2000, the CMS issued a guideline regarding the proper coding of our procedures for billing purposes. CMS instructed that code 39.71, for endovascular graft repair of aneurysm, be utilized. For purposes of hospital reimbursement, the majority of patients using the Powerlink System device will be classified under DRG 110, Major Cardiovascular Procedures with Complication/ Co morbidity. In the latest data published by CMS, the national average reimbursement for DRG 110, which includes hospital costs, exceeded $23,000. In Europe, reimbursement for the procedure, including the device, typically comes from the hospital’s general fund and is usually from about half to three-quarters of the reimbursement available in the United States.

Outside the United States, market acceptance of products depends partly upon the availability of reimbursement within the prevailing healthcare payment systems. Reimbursement systems vary significantly by country, and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. Reimbursement is obtained from a variety of sources, including government sponsored healthcare and private health insurance plans.

Some countries have centrally organized healthcare systems, but in most cases there is a degree of regional autonomy either in deciding whether to pay for a particular procedure or in setting the reimbursement level. The manner in which new devices enter the healthcare system depends on the system. There may be a national appraisal process leading to a new procedure or product coding, or it may be a local decision made by the relevant hospital department. The latter is particularly the case where a global payment is made that does not detail specific technologies used in the treatment of a patient. Most foreign countries also have private insurance plans that may reimburse patients for alternative therapies. Although not as prevalent as in the United States, managed care is gaining prevalence in certain European countries.

Upon obtaining the Shonin in Japan, equivalent to FDA approval of a PMA application in the United States, we believe that the level of reimbursement in Japan will approximate that of the United States.

We believe that reimbursement in the future will be subject to increased restrictions such as those described above, both in the United States and in other countries. The general escalation in medical costs has led to and probably will continue to create increased pressures on health care providers to reduce the cost of products and services, including any products we develop. If third party reimbursements are inadequate to provide us with a profit on any products we develop, our efforts to develop and market products in the future may fail.

Government Regulation

The manufacturing and marketing of our products are subject to extensive and rigorous government regulation in the United States and in other countries. Prior to commercialization, new products must meet rigorous governmental agency requirements for pre-clinical and clinical testing and patient follow-up. Federal regulations control the ongoing safety, efficacy, manufacture, storage, labeling, record-keeping, and marketing of all medical devices. We cannot sell or market our products without United States or foreign government regulatory approvals.

Devices such as our Powerlink System are subject to the rigorous PMA review process with the FDA to assure safety and effectiveness. The PMA must be approved by the FDA prior to sales and marketing of the device in the United States. The PMA process is complex, expensive and time-consuming and requires the submission of extensive clinical data. The Powerlink System was approved through this PMA process in October 2004.

FDA regulations require us to register as a medical device manufacturer with the FDA. Additionally, the California Department of Health Services, or CDHS, requires us to register as a medical device manufacturer within the state. Because of this, the FDA and the CDHS inspect us on a routine basis for compliance with Quality System Records (“QSR”) regulations. These regulations require that we manufacture our products and maintain related documentation in a prescribed manner with respect to manufacturing, testing and control activities. We have undergone and expect to continue to undergo regular QSR inspections in connection with the manufacture of our products at our facilities. Further, the FDA requires us to comply with various FDA regulations regarding labeling. The Medical Device Reporting laws and regulations require us to provide information to the FDA on deaths or

serious injuries alleged to have been associated with the use of our devices, as well as product malfunctions that likely would cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. In addition, the FDA prohibits an approved device from being marketed for unapproved applications.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can, among other consequences, result in fines, injunctions, civil penalties, suspensions or loss of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution. In addition, government regulations may be established in the future that could prevent or delay regulatory clearance or approval of our products.

We are subject to other federal, state and local laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices. We cannot accurately predict the extent of government regulation that might result from any future legislation or administrative action.

Our international sales are subject to regulatory requirements in the countries in which our products are sold. The regulatory review process varies from country to country and may in some cases require the submission of clinical data. We most likely would rely on distributors in such foreign countries to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals. We cannot assure you, however, that we would obtain such approvals on a timely basis or at all. In addition, the FDA must approve the export to certain countries of devices that require a PMA but are not yet approved domestically.

In Europe, we need to comply with the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive, or MDD, and affix the CE Mark on our products to attest to such compliance. To achieve compliance, our products must meet the “Essential Requirements” of the MDD relating to safety and performance and we must successfully undergo verification of our regulatory compliance, or conformity assessment, by a Notified Body selected by us. The level of scrutiny of such assessment depends on the regulatory class of the product.

In December 1998, we received ISO 9001:1994/ EN46001:1996 certification from our Notified Body with respect to the manufacturing of all of our products in our facilities. In September 2002, we received ISO 9001:1994/ EN46001:1996 and ISO 13485:1996 certification. In December 2005, we received ISO13485:2003 certification. We are subject to continued surveillance by our Notified Body and will be required to report any serious adverse incidents to the appropriate authorities. We also must comply with additional requirements of individual nations.

Product Liability

The manufacture and marketing of medical devices carries the risk of financial exposure to product liability claims. Our products are used in situations in which there is a high risk of serious injury or death. Such risks will exist even with respect to those products that have received, or in the future may receive, regulatory approval for commercial sale. We are currently covered under a product liability insurance policy with coverage limits of $10.0 million per occurrence and $10.0 million per year in the aggregate. We cannot assure you that our product liability insurance is adequate or that such insurance coverage will remain available at acceptable costs. We also cannot assure you that we will not incur significant product liability claims in the future.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we had 164 employees, including 68 in manufacturing, 13 in research and development, 8 in clinical affairs, 61 in sales, marketing and customer service and 14 in administration. We believe that the success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe we have good relations with our employees.

Research and Development

We spent $6.8 million in 2006, $5.8 million in 2005, and $6.2 million in 2004, on research and development, including clinical studies. Our focus is to continually develop innovative and cost effective medical device technology for the treatment of aortic aneurysms. To achieve the dynamics required to rapidly implement these projects, our research and development is structured into three main development areas: New Product Development, Current Product Enhancements and Process Improvements. The objective is to bring a specific focus to each critical area of development and to facilitate multiple projects on parallel paths.

Availability of Reports

We make available free of charge on our web site at www.endologix.com our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to such reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will also provide electronic or paper copies of such reports free of charge, upon request made to our Corporate Secretary.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risks could affect our business, financial results and results of operations. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Our success depends on the safety and efficacy of the Powerlink System in general use.

While we have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the Powerlink System in our clinical studies with our clinical investigators, market acceptance will depend on similar results with the Powerlink System in general use. Any significant difficulties or adverse events encountered in general use will impair the success of the Powerlink System and our business.

Our success depends on the growth in the number of AAA patients treated with endovascular devices.

Of the estimated 1.5 million people with AAA in the United States, only about 200,000 new diagnoses are made each year, and of that amount only about 30,000 are treated with an endovascular device. Our success with our Powerlink System will depend on increasing percentage of patients with AAA being diagnosed at earlier stages and an increasing percentage of those receiving endovascular, as opposed to open surgical procedures. Initiatives to increase screening for AAA are underway but are out of our control and such general screening programs may never gain wide acceptance. The failure to diagnose more patients with AAA, at an earlier stage, will negatively impact sales of the Powerlink System.

Our success depends on convincing a concentrated customer base of vascular surgeons and a limited number of interventional radiologists and cardiologists to use our product over alternative products and treatment modalities.

The physicians currently treating AAA have choices in treatment approach, one of which is endovascular AAA stent graft placement. There are several competing endovascular stent grafts to choose from and that number may increase. Increasing revenues from sales of Powerlink Systems will depend on our marketing and sales team demonstrating that the Powerlink System is a superior treatment alternative to watchful waiting, open surgery and competitive products. We believe that this will require continued demonstration through clinical data and personal experience of the efficacy of the Powerlink System.

While we have committed, and intend to continue to commit substantial resources to our marketing efforts, our competitors have superior resources to market and promote their endovascular stent graft products. The most prominent devices that pose a competitive challenge to us include:

	•		Medtronic’s AneuRx, W.L. Gore’s Excluder, and Cook’s Zenith AAA system, which are available both in the United States and Europe;

	•		other AAA graft Systems by Medtronic, Lombard Medical and Terumo, which currently have more limited availability; and,

	•		other technologies in various phases of development, including pharmaceutical solutions.

Any of these treatments could prove to be more effective or may achieve greater market acceptance than the Powerlink System. Even if these treatments are not as effective as the Powerlink System, many of the companies pursuing these treatments and technologies have:

	•		significantly greater financial, management and other resources;

	•		more extensive research and development capability;

	•		established market positions; and,

	•		larger sales and marketing organizations.

In addition, we believe that many of the purchasers and potential purchasers of our competitors’ products prefer to purchase medical devices from a single source. Accordingly, our competitors may have an advantage over us because of their size and range of product offerings. Any failure of our Powerlink System to achieve clinical and commercial acceptance over our competitors’ products will harm our business.

If our products or processes infringe upon the intellectual property of third parties, the sale of our products may be challenged and we may have to defend costly and time-consuming infringement claims.

We may need to engage in expensive and prolonged litigation to assert or defend any of our intellectual property rights or to determine the scope and validity of rights claimed by other parties. With no certainty as to the outcome, litigation could be too expensive for us to pursue. Our failure to prevail in such litigation or our failure to pursue litigation could result in the loss of our rights that could hurt our business substantially. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, if at all.

Our failure to obtain rights to intellectual property of third parties or the potential for intellectual property litigation could force us to do one or more of the following:

	•		stop selling, making or using our products that use the disputed intellectual property;

	•		obtain a license from the intellectual property owner to continue selling, making, licensing or using our products, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all;

	•		redesign our products, processes or services; and,

	•		subject us to significant liabilities to third parties.

If any of the foregoing occurs, we may be unable to manufacture and sell our products or license our technology and may suffer severe financial harm. Whether or not an intellectual property claim is valid, the cost of responding to it, in terms of legal fees and expenses and the diversion of management resources, could harm our business.

If third-party payors do not provide reimbursement for the use of the Powerlink System, our revenues may be negatively impacted.

Our success in marketing the Powerlink System depends in large part on whether domestic and international government health administrative authorities, private health insurers and other organizations will reimburse customers for the cost of our product. Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. Further, many international markets have government managed healthcare systems that control reimbursement for new devices and procedures. In most markets there are private insurance systems as well as government-managed systems. If sufficient reimbursement is not made available for the Powerlink System, or any other product that we may develop, in either the United States or internationally, the demand for our products will be adversely affected.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated from a single product, the Powerlink System, and any declines in the sale of this product will negatively impact our business.

We have focused heavily on the development and commercial launch of a single technology, the Powerlink System, because of limited resources. If we are unable to successfully commercialize the existing Powerlink System and reach positive cash flow from operations, we will be constrained in our ability to fund development and commercialization improvements and other product lines.

We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve profitability.

Our operations to date have consumed a substantial amount of cash. From our formation in 1992 to December 31, 2006, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $116.7 million, including a net loss of $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. We only began generating significant revenues from product sales in 2005, and it is possible that we may never achieve profitability. Our ability to achieve positive cash flow from operations will be impacted by a number of factors, including market acceptance of the Powerlink System, our ability to develop additional products, competing technologies and regulatory developments. If we are unable to achieve profitability, our business will be negatively impacted.

Our future operating results are difficult to predict and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, which may negatively impact our stock price in the future.

We have only commercially distributed the Powerlink System in the United States since late 2004 and therefore, we are unable to predict future revenues derived from sales of the Powerlink System. As a result, our quarterly revenues and results of operations may fluctuate in the future due to:

	•		physician acceptance of the Powerlink System;

	•		the conduct and results of clinical trials;

	•		the timing of, and expense in obtaining, future regulatory approvals;

	•		fluctuations in our expenses associated with expanding our operations;

	•		introduction of new products by our competitors;

	•		changes in our pricing policies or in the pricing policies of our competitors or suppliers;

	•		variations in foreign exchange rates; and,

	•		changes in third-party payors’ reimbursement policies.

In addition, we believe that sales of our products may be lower in the fourth fiscal quarter as many patients choose to delay elective procedures during the holiday season. Therefore, we believe that period to period comparison of our operating results may not necessarily be reliable indicators of our future performance. It is likely that in some future period our operating results will not meet investor expectations or those of public market analysts.

Any unanticipated change in revenues or operating results is likely to cause our stock price to fluctuate since such changes reflect new information available to investors and analysts. New information may cause investors and analysts to revalue our stock, which could cause a decline in the trading price of our stock.

Our business is subject to extensive governmental regulation that could make it more expensive and time consuming for us to introduce new or improved products.

Our products must comply with regulatory requirements imposed by the FDA and similar agencies in foreign countries. These requirements involve lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing procedures, sampling activities, an extensive FDA review process, and other costly and time-consuming procedures. It often takes several years to satisfy these requirements, depending on the complexity and novelty of the product. We also are subject to numerous additional licensing and regulatory requirements relating to safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. Some of the most important requirements we face include:

	•		FDA approval process;

	•		California Department of Health Services requirements;

	•		ISO 9001:1994 and ENISO 13485:2003; and,

	•		European Union CE Mark requirements.

Government regulation may impede our ability to conduct continuing clinical trials of Powerlink System enhancements and to manufacture the Powerlink System and other prospective products. Government regulation also could delay our marketing of new products for a considerable period of time and impose costly procedures on our activities. The FDA and other regulatory agencies may not approve any of our future products on a timely basis, if at all. Any delay in obtaining, or failure to obtain, such approvals could negatively impact our marketing of any proposed products and reduce our product revenues.

Our products remain subject to strict regulatory controls on manufacturing, marketing and use. We may be forced to modify or recall our product after release in response to regulatory action or unanticipated difficulties encountered in general use. Any such action could have a material effect on the reputation of our products and on our business and financial position.

Further, regulations may change, and any additional regulation could limit or restrict our ability to use any of our technologies, which could harm our business. We could also be subject to new federal, state or local regulations that could affect our research and development programs and harm our business in unforeseen ways. If this happens, we may have to incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations, which will harm our results of operations.

We may not receive approval to market the Powerlink System in Japan.

We estimate that the Powerlink System will receive Shonin approval, equivalent to the United States Food and Drug Administration approval, in the second quarter of 2007. This will allow us to have a single technology platform for Europe, the United States, and Japan. However, the Ministry of Health may not grant Shonin approval by such time, or at all, either of which may negatively impact our future results of operations.

If we fail to increase our direct sales force in a timely manner, our business could suffer.

We have a limited domestic direct sales force and we utilize a distribution network for sales outside of the United States. As we launch new products and increase our marketing efforts with respect to existing products, we will need to significantly expand the number of our direct sales personnel. The establishment and development of a more extensive sales force will be expensive and time consuming. In addition, there is significant competition for sales personnel experienced in relevant medical device sales. If we are unable to attract, motivate and retain qualified sales personnel and thereby increase our sales force, we may not be able to increase our revenues.

Our third-party distributors may not effectively distribute our products.

We depend on medical device distributors and strategic relationships for the marketing and selling of our Powerlink System internationally. We depend on these distributors’ efforts to market our product, yet we are unable to control their efforts completely. If our distributors fail to market and sell our products effectively, our operating results and business may suffer substantially, or we may have to make significant additional expenditures or concessions to market our products.

If we fail to properly manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

We may experience periods of rapid growth and expansion, which could place a significant strain on our limited personnel and other resources. In particular, the increase in our direct sales force requires significant management and other supporting resources. Any failure by us to manage our growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals. To achieve our revenue goals, we must successfully increase production output as required by customer demand. We may in the future experience

difficulties in increasing production, including problems with production yields and quality control and assurance, component supply, and shortages of qualified personnel. These problems could result in delays in product availability and increases in expenses. Any such delay or increased expense could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues. Future growth will also impose significant added responsibilities on management, including the need to identify, recruit, train and integrate additional employees. In addition, rapid and significant growth will place a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure. In order to manage our operations and growth we will need to continue to improve our operational and management controls, reporting and information technology systems, and financial internal controls procedures. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, it may be difficult for us to execute our business strategy and our operating results and business could suffer.

We rely on a single vendor to supply our graft material for the Powerlink System, and any disruption in our supply could delay or prevent us from producing the product for sale.

Currently, we rely on Bard Peripheral Vascular Systems, a subsidiary of C.R. Bard, Inc., to supply us with graft material, which is a primary component for the Powerlink System. Our reliance on a sole source supplier exposes our operations to disruptions in supply caused by:

	•		failure of our supplier to comply with regulatory requirements;

	•		any strike or work stoppage;

	•		disruptions in shipping;

	•		a natural disaster caused by fire, floods or earthquakes;

	•		a supply shortage experienced by our sole source supplier; and,

	•		the fiscal health and manufacturing strength of our sole source supplier.

Although we retain a significant stock of the graft material, the occurrence of any of the above disruptions in supply or other unforeseen events that could cause a disruption in supply from our sole source graft supplier may cause us to halt or experience a disruption in manufacturing the Powerlink System. Because we do not have alternative suppliers, our sales and profitability would be harmed in the event of a disruption.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our business may be negatively affected.

The market for medical devices is subject to frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. It is possible that our patents or licenses may not withstand challenges made by others or protect our rights adequately.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to secure effective patent protection for our products and processes in the United States and internationally. We have filed and intend to continue to file patent applications for various aspects of our technology. However, we face the risks that:

	•		we may fail to secure necessary patents prior to or after obtaining regulatory clearances, thereby permitting competitors to market competing products; and,

	•		our already-granted patents may be re-examined, re-issued or invalidated.

We also own trade secrets and confidential information that we try to protect by entering into confidentiality agreements with other parties. However, the confidentiality agreements may not be honored or, if breached, we may not have sufficient remedies to protect our confidential information. Further, our competitors may independently learn our trade secrets or develop similar or superior technologies. To the extent that our consultants, key employees or others apply technological information to our projects that they develop independently or others develop, disputes may arise regarding the ownership of proprietary rights to such information, and such disputes may not be resolved in our favor. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property adequately, our business and commercial prospects likely will suffer.

If we are unable to effectively manage our inventory held on consignment by our intended customers, we will not achieve our expected results.

Our Powerlink System is sold primarily on a consignment basis to hospitals which purchase our product as they use it. In these consignment locations, we do not have physical possession of our products. We therefore must rely on information from our customers as well as periodic inspections by our sales personnel and third party inventory auditors to determine when our products have been used. Our efforts to strengthen our monitoring and management of consigned inventory may not be adequate to meaningfully reduce the risk of inventory loss. If we are not able to effectively manage appropriate consigned inventory levels, we may suffer inventory losses which will reduce our operating results.

We may face product liability claims that could result in costly litigation and significant liabilities.

Manufacturing and marketing of our commercial products, and clinical testing of our products under development, may expose us to product liability claims. Although we have, and intend to maintain, product liability insurance, the coverage limits of our insurance policies may not be adequate and one or more successful claims brought against us may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Additionally, adverse product liability actions could negatively affect the reputation and sales of our products, our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our products and may divert management’s attention from other matters.

We may need to raise additional funds in the future to fund our operations.

Although we believe that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for operations and planned capital requirements through at least December 31, 2007, we may require additional capital to fund on-going operations. Our cash requirements in the future may be significantly different from our current estimates and depend on many factors, including:

	•		the results of our commercialization efforts for the Powerlink System;

	•		the time and costs involved in obtaining additional regulatory approvals;

	•		the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents or any litigation by third parties regarding intellectual property;

	•		the establishment of high volume manufacturing and increased sales and marketing capabilities; and,

	•		our success in entering into collaborative relationships with other parties.

To finance these activities, we may seek funds through borrowings or through additional rounds of financing, including private or public equity or debt offerings and collaborative arrangements with corporate partners. We may be unable to raise funds on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, the sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. If we borrow additional funds or issue debt securities, these securities could have rights superior to holders of our common stock, and could contain covenants that will restrict our operations. We might have to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to our technologies, product candidates or products that we otherwise would not relinquish. If adequate funds are not available, we might have to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of our development programs, which could significantly impair our ability to operate our business.

Our operations are currently conducted at a single location that may be at risk from earthquakes or other natural disasters.

We currently conduct all of our manufacturing, development and management activities at a single location in Irvine, California, near known earthquake fault zones. We have taken precautions to safeguard our facilities, including insurance, health and safety protocols, and off-site storage of computer data. However, any future natural

disaster, such as an earthquake, could cause substantial delays in our operations, damage or destroy our equipment or inventory, and cause us to incur additional expenses. A disaster could seriously harm our business and results of operations. The insurance coverage we maintain may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case.

The price of our stock may fluctuate unpredictably in response to factors unrelated to our operating performance.

The stock market periodically experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our common stock to drop. In particular, the market price of securities of small medical device companies, like ours, has been very unpredictable and may vary in response to:

	•		announcements by us or our competitors concerning technological innovations;

	•		introductions of new products;

	•		FDA and foreign regulatory actions;

	•		developments or disputes relating to patents or proprietary rights;

	•		failure of our results of operations to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors;

	•		changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock;

	•		changes in healthcare policy in the United States or other countries; and,

	•		general stock market conditions.

Some provisions of our charter documents may make takeover attempts difficult, which could depress the price of our stock and inhibit your ability to receive a premium price for your shares.

Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our business, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation allows our board of directors to issue up to five million shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights and preferences of such shares without stockholder approval. Any such issuance could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire our business and may adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors is divided into three classes for staggered terms of three years. These provisions may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us, adversely affecting the market price of our common stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Currently, we lease a facility aggregating approximately 30,200 square feet in Irvine, California under a lease agreement that expires in April 2010 and may be renewed for two additional five-year periods, at our option. We believe that our current facilities will be adequate and suitable for our operations for the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Dividend Policy

We have never paid any dividends. We currently intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the expansion of our business and therefore do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the terms of our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which was entered into on February 21, 2007, prohibits us from paying cash dividends without their consent.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including the risks we discuss in Item 1A of Part I, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Our Business

We are engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of minimally invasive therapies for the treatment of vascular disease. Our primary focus is the marketing and sale of the Powerlink System, a catheter-based alternative treatment to surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms, or AAA. AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery of the body. Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and if left untreated becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms is approximately 75%, making it the 13th leading cause of death in the United States.

Prior to the acquisition of former Endologix and the restructuring that occurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2001, we were researching, developing and marketing a radiation therapy catheter for the treatment of blockages in arteries after angioplasty, or restenosis. Prior to that we developed, manufactured and marketed other catheter and stent products for treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Between 1999 and 2003, our source of revenues shifted gradually from direct sales of previous catheter and stent products to royalties from licenses of our stent delivery technology. In June 1998, we licensed to Guidant Corporation rights to manufacture and distribute products using our Focus technology for the delivery of stents in exchange for milestone and royalty payments.

Our license revenue has significantly decreased in 2006 and 2005, reaching the contractual minimum level of $250,000. We anticipate that license revenue will remain at this minimum level through 2008, the remaining term of the license agreement, and that the sales of our Powerlink System will be our only material source of revenue.

We believe that our current cash balance, in combination with cash receipts generated from sales of the Powerlink System and borrowings available under our new credit facility, will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations through at least December 31, 2007. If we do not realize expected revenue and gross margin levels, or if we are unable to manage our operating expenses in line with our revenues, or if we cannot maintain our days sales outstanding accounts receivable ratio, we may not be able to fund our operations through December 31, 2007.

In the event that we require additional funding to continue our operations, we will attempt to raise the required capital through either debt or equity arrangements. We cannot provide any assurance that the required capital would be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that any financing activity would not be dilutive to our current stockholders. If we are not able to raise additional funds, we may be required to significantly curtail our operations and this would have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

estimates, including those related to collectibility of customer accounts, whether the cost of inventories can be recovered, the value assigned to and estimated useful life of intangible assets, the realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities, contingent liabilities and the potential outcome of litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The following critical accounting policies and estimates were used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

We comply with the revenue recognition guidelines in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

	•		Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

	•		The sales price is fixed or determinable;

	•		Collection of the relevant receivable is probable at the time of sale; and

	•		Products have been shipped or used and the customer has taken ownership and assumed risk of loss.

We earn royalty revenue, which is included in license revenue in the consolidated statement of operations, as a result of the sale of product rights and technologies to third parties. Royalties are recognized upon the sale of products subject to the royalty by the third party.

We do not offer rights of return or price protection and we have no post delivery obligations other than our specified warranty.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. These estimates are based on our review of the aging of customer balances, correspondence with the customer, and the customer’s payment history. If additional information becomes available to us indicating the financial condition of the customer is deteriorating, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories

We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand, as driven by economic and market conditions, and the product’s shelf life. If actual demand, or economic or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

We record an impairment charge, or expense, for long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value recorded for the asset may not be recoverable. Future changes in operations could cause us to write down the asset value and record an expense to better reflect our current estimate of its value. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. Factors that may impact whether there is a potential goodwill impairment include a significant decrease in our stock price and our evaluation of a control premium that may be used when estimating our total fair value. Our stock price may decline, or other factors may arise, which could result in goodwill impairment in future periods. Factors that may impact whether there is a potential impairment to our indefinite-lived intangible assets include legal and regulatory considerations.

Income Taxes

We reduce our deferred tax assets to zero due to uncertainties concerning the future realization of the related tax benefits, primarily due to our history of losses. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize some or all of the tax benefit of the deferred tax assets, the valuation allowance would be reduced, resulting in increased income in the period such determination was made.

Stock-based compensation

Effective at the beginning of our fiscal year 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments” (SFAS 123R). This statement requires us to recognize the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for the stock options it has awarded. Under SFAS 123R, we are required to recognize compensation expense over an award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. We have elected to adopt SFAS 123R on a modified prospective basis; accordingly, the financial statements for the periods prior to January 1, 2006 do not include stock based compensation under the fair value method. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option grants. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense attributed is net of an estimated forfeiture rate, which is updated as appropriate. This option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, pre-vesting forfeiture rate and an option’s expected life. The financial statements include amounts that are based on our best estimates and judgments.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

Product Sales. Sales increased 109% to $14.4 million in 2006 from $6.9 million in 2005 primarily due to our investment in our domestic field sales personnel, and increased market acceptance of the Powerlink System. United States sales increased from $4.8 million to $12.4 million, and sales to distributors outside the United States did not change from $2.0 million in 2006 and 2005. Sales to Edwards LifeSciences AG decreased to $1.2 million in 2006 from $1.5 million in 2005. Our distribution agreement with Edwards LifeSciences AG was not renewed beyond the original expiration of December 31, 2006 and was replaced with a three-year distribution agreement with LeMaitre Vascular. This agreement named LeMaitre Vascular as the exclusive distributor of the Endologix Powerlink^® System in ten European countries, including Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. There were no distributors in 2006 that accounted for more than 10% of product sales, and no distributors other than Edwards LifeSciences AG that accounted for more than 10% of product sales in 2005.

License Revenue. License revenue remained unchanged at $250,000 in 2006 and 2005, which represents the contractual minimum annual amount from Guidant. We believe license revenue will remain unchanged in 2007.

Cost of Product Revenue. The cost of product revenue increased 64% to $6.3 million from $3.9 million in 2005. This increase is attributable to the higher unit volume of product sales in 2006 compared to 2005.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 154% to $8.3 million in 2006 from $3.3 million in 2005. The increase in gross profit resulted from higher product sales in 2006 as compared to 2005.

Gross profit on product sales increased 167% to $8.1 million from $3.0 million in 2005 because product sales volume more than doubled in 2006 from 2005. Gross profit, as a percentage of product sales increased to 56% in 2006 from 44% in 2005. This increase in gross profit margin was due to an increase in product sales in the United States. Direct product sales in the United States have a higher gross profit margin compared to international product sales, which are sold through distributors. Additionally, the percentage in 2005 was impacted by a product recall and a facility relocation which resulted in period charges to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of approximately $1.0 million. A charge of $326,000 related to the final phase of the product recall was incurred in the second quarter of 2006.

We believe that gross profit dollars will increase in future years due to higher commercial sales of the Powerlink System in the United States. We also expect that gross profit as a percentage of product revenues to remain relatively unchanged in 2007 as the increase in product sales in the United States will be offset by the effect of the significantly higher prices we are now paying for the raw graft material which we purchase from Bard Peripheral Vascular Systems, a subsidiary of C.R. Bard, Inc.

Research, Development and Clinical. Research, development and clinical expenses increased by 16% to $6.8 million from $5.8 million in 2005. The increase primarily resulted from continued product research and development of our Powerlink System product and complementary technologies, and continued enrollment in the suprarenal arm of the pivotal United States clinical trials. A $347,000 charge for stock compensation expense pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 123R at January 1, 2006, also contributed to the increase. We expect that research, development, and clinical expense will range between $6.5 to $7.0 million in 2007, to support new product and process development projects.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses increased by 66% to $14.6 million from $8.8 million in 2005. This increase was due to staffing increases in sales and marketing support functions in support of the expanded commercial launch of the infrarenal Powerlink System in the United States market. In addition, the increase was partially due to a $448,000 charge for stock compensation expense pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 123R at January 1, 2006. We expect that sales and marketing expense will continue to increase in 2007, but at a lessor rate than in 2006.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by 16% to $5.6 million from $4.8 million in 2005. The increase was due to stock compensation expense totaling $767,000, pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 123R at January 1, 2006. We expect only a modest growth in expenses in 2007.

Other Income (Expense). Other income increased 70% to $1.0 million from $614,000 in 2005, driven by higher interest income. The increase in interest income was accounted for by a higher average invested cash balance in 2006, which resulted from a registered direct public offering of our common stock that resulted in net proceeds of $18.8 million in June 2006.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

Product Sales. Sales increased 128% to $6.9 million in 2005 from $3.0 million in 2004 primarily due to a full year of product sales after receipt of FDA approval in October 2004. United States sales increased from $400,000 to $4.8 million, and sales to distributors outside the United States decreased from $2.6 million to $2.0 million. Sales to Edwards LifeSciences AG commenced in the second quarter of 2004, and were $1.5 million in 2005 and $1.6 million in 2004. There were no other distributors in 2005 that accounted for more than 10% of product sales. In 2004, other than Edwards LifeSciences AG, only Bolton Medical Italia S.p.A. accounted for more than 10% of product sales. Sales to this distributor in 2004 were $474,000.

License Revenue. License revenue decreased 79% to $250,000 in 2005 from $1.2 million in 2004. Royalties on licensed product sales by Guidant decreased to $250,000 from $952,000 in 2004. Starting in September 2002, we believe that Guidant replaced certain licensed products with unlicensed products in the United States. Also, we believe the introduction of drug coated stents in early 2003 has had a material negative effect on Guidant’s sale of the licensed product. As a result, the royalties from Guidant reached the contractual minimum annual amount of $250,000 in 2005. Royalty revenue from Escalon Medical Corporation was at the minimum $261,000 in 2004. Our agreement with Escalon expired in October 2004.

Cost of Product Revenue. The cost of product revenue increased 109% to $3.9 million from $1.9 million in 2004. This increase is attributable to the higher unit volume of product sales in 2005 compared to 2004.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 38% to $3.3 million in 2005 from $2.4 million in 2004. The increase in gross profit resulted from higher product sales in 2005 as compared to 2004, offset by the decrease in royalties received from Guidant and Escalon, which did not have an associated cost of revenue.

Gross profit on product sales increased 159% to $3.0 million from $1.2 million in 2004 because product sales volume more than doubled in 2005 from 2004. Gross profit, as a percentage of product sales increased to 44.0% in 2005 from 38.7% in 2004. This increase in gross profit margin was due to an increase in product sales in the United States. Direct product sales in the United States have a higher gross profit margin compared to international product sales, which are sold through distributors. This impact was offset by a product recall and a facility relocation which resulted in period charges to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2005 of approximately $1.0 million.

Research, Development and Clinical. Research, development and clinical expenses decreased by 6% to $5.8 million from $6.2 million in 2004.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses increased by 224% to $8.8 million from $2.7 million in 2004. This increase was due to staffing increases in sales, marketing support, and customer service functions in support of the commercial launch of the infrarenal Powerlink System in the United States market.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 35% to $4.8 million from $3.5 million in 2004. The increase in expenses in 2005 was due primarily to expenses related to our review of internal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as expenses associated with building the infrastructure in our finance and information technology departments.

Other Income (Expense). Other income increased 70% to $614,000 from $361,000 in 2004, driven by higher interest income. The increase in interest income was accounted for by a higher average invested cash balance in 2005, which resulted from a private placement of our common stock which yielded aggregate net proceeds of $15.5 million in July 2005, and a higher rate of return on our investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we incurred net losses of $17.5 million and $15.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $116.7 million. Historically, we have relied on the sale and issuance of equity securities to provide a significant portion of funding for our operations. In April 2006, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that would permit us to sell from time to time, up to a total of $50.0 million of common stock. In June 2006, we completed a private placement of our common stock, which resulted in net proceeds of $18.8 million, leaving $30 million available under the shelf registration. Additionally, in July 2003, March 2004 and July 2005, we completed three private placements of our common stock, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of $39.2 million.

In February 2007, we entered into a revolving credit facility, whereby we may borrow up to $5 million. All outstanding amounts under the credit facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to the lender’s prime rate plus 0.5%, which is payable on a monthly basis. The unused portion is subject to an unused revolving line facility fee, payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent per annum of the average unused portion of the revolving line, as determined by the bank. The credit facility also contains customary covenants regarding operations of our business and financial covenants relating to ratios of current assets to current liabilities and tangible net worth during any calendar quarter and is collateralized by all of our assets with the exception of our intellectual property. All amounts owing under the credit facility will become due and payable on February 21, 2009.

At December 31, 2006, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities available for sale of $20.2 million. We believe that current cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with cash receipts generated from sales of the Powerlink System and available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for operating and capital expenditures through at least December 31, 2007. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs and cash outlays in 2007 to support Powerlink System research and development, and United States marketing of the Powerlink System. However, if we fail to effectively penetrate the AAA market, or if we fail to reduce certain discretionary expenditures, if necessary, we may need to seek additional sources of financing. We may not be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms or at all, which would adversely affect the operations of our business.

The timing and amount of our future capital expenditure requirements will depend on many factors, including:

	•		the rate of market acceptance of the Powerlink System;

	•		our requirements for additional manufacturing capacity;

	•		our requirements for additional IT infrastructure and systems;

	•		our requirements for additional office space; and

	•		the success of our research and development programs for future products and processes.

In July 2002, the board of directors authorized a program for repurchases of our outstanding common stock of up to $1.5 million under certain parameters. As of December 31, 2006, we had repurchased an aggregate of 495,000 shares for $661,000, with the last such purchase in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. At this time, we do not anticipate further share repurchases.

Accounts Receivable. Trade accounts receivable, net, increased 121% to $2.8 million at December 31, 2006 from $1.2 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was due to the increase in sales in 2006.

Inventories. Inventories increased 27% to $9.4 million at December 31, 2006 from $7.4 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily a result of higher sales in 2006, and higher expected sales in 2007.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased 11% to $5.0 million at December 31, 2006 from $4.5 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is attributable primarily to an increase in the amount owed to Bard Peripheral Vascular Systems for a key component of the Powerlink System.

Cash Used in Operations. Cash used in operations increased 2% to $16.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Cash Provided by (used in) Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This change was primarily due to an increase in purchases of available-for-sale securities and a decrease in maturities of available-for-sale securities in 2006 as compared to 2005, offset by a decrease in capital expenditures for property and equipment.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities increased 24% to $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in proceeds from the sale of common stock

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Commitments

In February 1999, the former Endologix entered into a supply agreement with Bard Peripheral Vascular Systems, a subsidiary of C.R. Bard, Inc for the supply of ePTFE. The supply agreement has an initial term through December 2007, at which time it automatically renews on a year-by-year basis, for additional one-year periods, unless either party gives the other party notice of its intention not to renew within 30 days from the expiration date of the applicable renewal period. Under the terms of a second amendment to the supply agreement dated September 8, 2006, the minimum purchase requirements were reduced and we must purchase a specified annual dollar value of the component, as opposed to a quantity of units, for the remaining term of the agreement.

During 2006, we purchased $2.5 million of such materials, which fulfilled the 2006 purchase commitment.

As of December 31, 2006, expected future cash payments related to contractual obligations and commercial commitments were as follows:


	Total		2007		2008		2009		2010		Thereafter
	(In thousands)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, or SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, or SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation Number 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not believe that we currently have material exposure to interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate or other relevant market risks.

Interest Rate and Market Risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment profile. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We are averse to principal loss and try to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. We attempt to mitigate default risk by investing in only the safest and highest credit quality securities and by constantly positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. At December 31, 2006, our investment portfolio included only high-grade corporate bonds and commercial paper and government bonds all with remaining maturities of less than two years and denominated in U.S. dollars.

The table below provides information about our available-for-sale investment portfolio, including funds designated as restricted cash. For investment securities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average fixed interest rates by expected maturity dates.

Weighted average interest rate				0.41	%		5.36	%		0.70	%

Foreign Currency Transaction Risk. We do not currently have material foreign currency exposure as the majority of our assets are denominated in U.S. currency and our foreign-currency based transaction exchange risk is not material. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, we recorded $25,000, ($7,000), and $29,000, respectively, of foreign currency transaction gains (losses). Accordingly, we do not have a significant currency exposure at December 31, 2006.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, as stated in their report which appears herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Endologix, Inc.:

We have completed integrated audits of Endologix, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endologix, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2)presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the 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. An audit of financial statements 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for share-based compensation in 2006.

Internal control over financial reporting

Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

F-1

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

Business and Basis of Presentation

Endologix, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in California in March 1992 and reincorporated in Delaware in June 1993. In January 1999, the Company merged with privately held Radiance Medical Systems, Inc. (“former Radiance”), and changed its name to Radiance Medical Systems, Inc. In May 2002, the Company merged with privately held Endologix, Inc., and changed its name to Endologix, Inc.

Since the merger in May 2002, the Company has been engaged in the development, manufacture, sales and marketing of minimally invasive therapies for the treatment of vascular disease. The Company’s primary focus is the development of the Powerlink System, a catheter-based alternative treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms, or AAA. AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery of the body.

Prior to the merger in May 2002 the Company was developing proprietary devices to deliver radiation to prevent the recurrence of blockages in arteries following balloon angioplasty, vascular stenting, arterial bypass surgery and other interventional treatments of blockages in coronary and peripheral arteries. The Company also manufactured, licensed and sold angioplasty catheters and stent products primarily through medical device distributors.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates in a single business segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company has incurred net losses of $17,540, $15,520, and $9,680, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $116,660. The Company believes that the current cash and marketable securities balance, in combination with cash receipts generated from sales of the Powerlink System and borrowings available under the new credit facility, will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations through at least December 31, 2007. If the Company does not realize the expected revenue and gross margin levels, or if the Company is unable to manage its operating expenses in line with its revenues, or if it cannot maintain its days sales outstanding accounts receivable ratio, it may not be able to fund its operations through December 31, 2007.

In the event that the Company requires additional funding to continue operations, it will attempt to raise the required capital through either debt or equity arrangements. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the required capital would be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that any financing activity would not be dilutive to its current stockholders. If the Company is not able to raise additional funds, it may be required to significantly curtail its operations and this would have an adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectibility of customer accounts, whether the cost of inventories can be recovered, the value assigned to and estimated useful life of intangible assets, the

F-7

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities, contingent liabilities and the potential outcome of litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits and money market funds with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.

Marketable Securities Available-For-Sale

The Company accounts for its investments pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

The Company has classified its entire investment portfolio as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of realized gains and losses. Management evaluates the classification of its securities based on the Company’s short-term cash needs. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretions of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income. The Company did not have any realized gains for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Accounts Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Inventories

The Company values inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory or the market value for such inventory. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities in process and on hand and records a provision for obsolete inventory based on actual loss experience and a forecast of product demand compared to the remaining shelf life. During the year ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company recorded $326 and $780, respectively, to cost of goods sold for the write-off of inventory primarily due to a limited product recall.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals or betterments are capitalized. Upon sale or disposition of property and equipment, any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. The estimated useful lives for furniture and equipment range from three to seven years and the estimated useful life for leasehold improvements is five years.

Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company most recently performed its annual impairment analysis as of June 30, 2006 and will continue to test for impairment annually as of June 30. No impairment was indicated. In 2005, the Company increased the balance in Goodwill by $1,029 as a result of recording a deferred tax liability on the indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired in the 2002 acquisition of former Endologix that previously had not been recorded.

F-8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The developed technology is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded $1,405, $1,405 and $1,405 in amortization expense for the developed technology and expects to record $1,405 each year thereafter, until the asset is fully amortized.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets and intangible assets with determinate lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates potential impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Should the review indicate that the asset is not recoverable, the Company’s carrying value of the asset would be reduced to its estimated fair value, which is measured by future discounted cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of all financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturities of the instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts and in money market securities administered by a major financial institution.

The Company sells its products primarily to hospitals and distributors worldwide. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral from customers. Management believes that an adequate allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided.

In June 1998, the Company signed a technology license agreement with Guidant Corporation (“Guidant”), an international interventional cardiology products company, granting Guidant the right to manufacture and distribute products using the Company’s Focus technology for stent deployment. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized royalty revenue from Guidant of $250, $250, and $952, respectively, which represented 2%, 4%, and 22% of total revenues, respectively (Note 2). In 2005, revenues from Edwards Lifesciences AG was $1,498, which represented 21% of total revenues. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in 2005 or 2004. There was no single customer that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in 2006.

As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.

Product Sales by Geographic Region

The Company had product sales by region as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2006		2005		2004
United States	$	12,366	$	4,844	$	431

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Sales to commercial hospital accounts represented 97%, 95% and 8% of United States product sales in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The remaining United States product sales were sales to hospitals conducting clinical trials for the Powerlink System.

Revenue Recognition

The Company complies with the revenue recognition guidelines in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

	•		Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

	•		The sales price is fixed or determinable

	•		Collection of the relevant receivable is probable at the time of sale

	•		Products have been shipped or used and the customer has taken ownership and assumed risk of loss

The Company earns royalty revenue, which is included in license revenue in the consolidated statement of operations, as a result of the sale of product rights and technologies to third parties. Royalties are recognized upon the sale of products subject to the royalty, by the third party.

The Company does not offer rights of return or price protection and has no post delivery obligations other than its specified warranty.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs billed to customers are included in revenue with the related costs in costs of goods sold.

Foreign Currency

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. The income and expense items of these subsidiaries are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. The resulting translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, which are denominated in a currency other than the respective entity’s functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments” (SFAS 123R), on January 1, 2006. This statement requires the Company to recognize the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for the stock options it has awarded. Under SFAS 123R the Company is required to recognize compensation expense over an award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. The Company has elected to adopt SFAS 123R on a modified prospective basis; accordingly, the financial statements for the periods prior to January 1, 2006 do not include stock based compensation under the fair value method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option grants.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” for measurement and recognition of stock based transactions with its employees and directors. If the Company had recognized compensation expense for its stock based transactions based on the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123, net loss and net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 would have been as follows:

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based awards, in which goods or services are the consideration received for the stock options issued, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and related interpretations. Compensation expense for non-employee stock-based awards is recognized in accordance with FASB Interpretation 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Options or Award Plans, an Interpretation of APB Opinions No. 15 and 25” (FIN 28). Under SFAS No. 123R and FIN 28, the Company records compensation expense based on the then-current fair values of the stock options at each financial reporting date. Compensation recorded during the service period is adjusted in subsequent periods for changes in the stock options’ fair value.

In the past, the Company granted Performance Units under its 2004 Performance Compensation Plan (the “Performance Plan”). Under the Performance Plan, these units are granted at a discount to the fair market value (as defined in the Performance Plan) of the Company’s common stock on the grant date (“Base Value”). The Performance Units vest over three years. The difference between the twenty-day average closing market price of the Company’s common stock and the Base Value of the vested Performance Unit will be payable in cash at the first to occur of (a) a change of control (as defined in the Performance Plan), (b) the termination of employment for any reason other than Cause, or (c) upon exercise of the Performance Unit, which cannot occur until eighteen months from the grant date.

In 2006 and 2005, the Company granted a total of 0 and 180,000 Performance Units, respectively. The weighted average Base Value for the 2005 grants was $3.33. The Company recorded a reduction in compensation expense of $562 in 2006 and $579 in compensation expense during 2005 based on vested service in accordance with FIN 28, which has been included in marketing and sales expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will record changes in the estimated compensation expense until the Performance Units are paid in cash.

Income Taxes

The Company follows SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in different periods for financial statement purposes versus tax return purposes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion of such assets will not be recoverable.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Because of the net losses during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase the common stock of the Company were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. If they were included, the number of shares used to compute net loss per share would have been increased by approximately 314,000 shares, 551,000 shares, and 655,000 shares for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. However, options to

F-11

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

purchase approximately 1,712,000, 772,000, and 153,000 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $5.47, $6.04, and $6.58 that were outstanding during 2006, 2005, and 2004 respectively, would have still been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company accounts for elements of comprehensive income (loss) pursuant to SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized holding gains and losses and other items that have been previously excluded from net income (loss) and reflected instead in stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss, the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized holding gains (losses) on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.

Product Warranty

Within six months of shipment, customers may request replacement of products they receive that do not meet the manufacturer’s product specifications. No other warranties are offered and the Company disclaims responsibility for any consequential or incidental damages associated with the use of the products. Historically, the Company has not experienced a significant amount of returns as a result of its product warranty policy.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, or SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, or SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation Number 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

2. License Agreements

In June 1998, the Company signed a technology license agreement with Guidant granting Guidant the right to manufacture and distribute stent delivery products using the Company’s Focus technology. Under the agreement, the Company was entitled to receive certain milestone payments based upon the transfer of the

F-12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

technology to Guidant, and royalty payments based upon the sale of products using the Focus technology. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded $250, $250, and $952, respectively, in royalties under the agreement. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, $117 and $59, respectively, due under this agreement are included in other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet.

3. Restricted Cash Equivalents

The Company has a $500 line of credit with a bank in conjunction with a corporate credit card agreement. At December 31, 2006, the Company had pledged all of its cash equivalents held at the bank as collateral on the line of credit. Per the agreement, the Company must maintain a balance of at least $500 in cash and cash equivalents with the bank.

4. Marketable Securities Available-for-Sale

The Company’s investments in debt securities are diversified among high credit quality securities in accordance with the Company’s investment policy. A major financial institution manages the Company’s investment portfolio. Marketable Securities are classified as current or non-current depending on the security’s maturity date. If the maturity date is less than one year from the balance sheet date, the security is classified as current. As of December 31, 2006, $11,917 and $1,500 of the Company’s debt securities had original contractual maturities of more than 90 days and less than one year and original contractual maturities between one to two years, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, $3,490 and $5,469 of the Company’s debt securities had original contractual maturities more than 90 days and less than one year and original contractual maturities between one to two years, respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Sole-Source, Related-Party Supplier Agreement

In February 1999, the former Endologix entered into a supply agreement with Bard Peripheral Vascular Systems, a subsidiary of C.R. Bard, Inc for the supply of ePTFE. The supply agreement has an initial term through December 2007, at which time it automatically renews on a year-by-year basis, for additional one-year periods, unless either party gives the other party notice of its intention not to renew within 30 days from the expiration date of the applicable renewal period. Under the terms of a second amendment to the supply agreement dated September 8, 2006, the minimum purchase requirements were reduced and the Company must purchase a specified annual dollar value of the component, as opposed to a quantity of units, for the remaining term of the agreement.

During 2006, the Company purchased approximately $2,500 of such materials, which fulfilled its 2006 purchase commitments.

F-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

As of December 31, 2006, estimated future purchase commitments for such material were as follows:


Year Ending December 31, 2007		2,875

	$	2,875

The Company is economically dependent on this vendor, which is the sole source for this key component.

Operating Leases

The Company leases its administrative, research and manufacturing facilities and certain equipment under long-term, non-cancelable lease agreements that have been accounted for as operating leases. Certain of these leases include renewal options and require the Company to pay operating costs, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance as prescribed by the agreements.

Future minimum payments by year under non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year were as follows as of December 31, 2006:


Year Ending December 31,
2007		340
2008		344
2009		346
2010		87
Thereafter		—

	$	1,117

Rental expense charged to operations for all operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, was approximately $336, $472, and $399, respectively.

Employment Agreements and Retention Plan

The Company has entered into employment agreements with its officers and one manager (“key employees”) under which payment and benefits would become payable in the event of termination by the Company for any reason other than cause, or upon a change in control or corporate transaction, or by the key employee for good reason, as such terms are defined in the agreement. If due, the payment will generally be equal to six months of the key employee’s then current salary for termination by the Company without cause or by the key employee for good reason, and generally be equal to twelve months of salary upon a change in control or corporate transaction.

12. Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized Shares of Common Stock

In October 2003, shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 30,000,000 to 50,000,000. In May 2006, shareholders approved an amendment, which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000.

Sale of Common Stock

In July 2003, the Company announced the completion of its private placement of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.25 per share. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $9,000 for the newly issued shares of common stock. The proceeds of the private placement, net of issuance costs, amounted to $8,357.

In March 2004, the Company completed a private placement of 3,200,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $5.10 per share resulting in proceeds, net of issuance costs of $15,360.

In July 2005, the Company completed a private placement of 4,150,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $15,450, after deducting the offering expenses.

F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

In June 2006, the Company completed a registered direct public offering of 6,061,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $3.30 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $18,750, after deducting the offering expenses.

Treasury Stock

In July 2002, the board of directors authorized a program for repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock of up to $1,500 under certain parameters. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company utilized $456 to repurchase 268,000 shares of its common stock at a weighted average share price of $1.71 per share.

Stock Option Plan

Pursuant to the Company’s 1996 Stock Option/Issuance Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), either incentive stock options or non-qualified options awards may be granted and under the 1997 Supplemental Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan” and together with the 1996 Plan and 2006 Plan, the “Plans”), non-qualified option awards may be granted. Under the Plans, options are granted at a price not less than 100% for incentive stock options and 85% for non-qualified stock options of the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over a four-year period. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were approximately 1,740,000 and 1,004,000 shares of common stock available for future stock option grants. The activity under the plans is summarized below:

Stock Based Compensation

As disclosed in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123(R) “Share Based Payment,” or FAS 123R. FAS 123R establishes the accounting required for share based compensation, and requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. This compensation expense shall be included in the statement of operations over the requisite service period. The provisions of FAS 123R apply to new stock options and stock options outstanding, but not yet vested on the effective date. For all unvested options outstanding as of January 1, 2006, compensation expense previously measured under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, or FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” but unrecognized, will be recognized using the straight-line method over the remaining vesting period. For share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, compensation expense, based on the fair value on the date of grant, as defined by FAS 123R, will be recognized using the straight-line method from the date of grant over the service period of the employee receiving the award.

FAS 123R requires the estimation of forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period should actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recorded in the period of change and which impacts the amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in 2006 includes (i) compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of FAS 123 and (ii) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. In the Company’s pro forma information required by FAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal year 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

The Company elected to adopt FAS 123R using the modified prospective application approach which requires the Company to value unvested stock options granted prior to its adoption of FAS 123R under the fair value method and expense these amount in the statement of operations over the stock option’s remaining vesting period. Prior periods are not required to be restated. Prior to the effective date of FAS 123R the Company applied the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123. In accordance with the provisions of FAS 123, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, or APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Under the provisions of APB 25, the Company recognized compensation expense only to the extent that the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options was less than the market price of the underlying stock at date of grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires extensive use of financial estimates and accounting judgment, including estimates of the expected period of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term, and the number of shares that are expected to be forfeited before they are vested. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of the stock-based compensation and as a result, significantly different results recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The weighted average of the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation method were as follows:


Expected Life (in years) (1)	5.5
Expected Volatility (2)	75.8	%
Risk Free Interest Rate (3)	4.9	%
Dividend Yield (4)	0.0	%


1.		Estimated based on historical experience.

2.		Volatility based on historical experience over a period equivalent to the expected life in years.

3.		Based on the US Treasury constant maturity interest rate with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted.

4.		The Company does not pay dividends on its common stock and the Company currently does not have any plans to pay or declare any cash dividends.

Expense recorded pursuant to FAS 123R during was as follows:


	2006
General and Administrative	$	767
Marketing and Sales		448
Research, Development, and Clinical		347
Cost of Sales		72

Total Stock Based Compensation	$	1,634

In addition, the Company has $130 of stock based compensation capitalized in inventory as of December 31, 2006.

Expense related to non-employee stock options is being amortized over the vesting, which is generally four years. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, $(6), $31, and $170, respectively, was recorded as compensation expense for the change in the fair value of unvested non-employee option grants. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company granted 20,000, -0-, and -0- options, respectively, to non-employees. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, a total of 220,100, 236,100, and 252,400 non-employee stock options, respectively, were outstanding. As of December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, a total of 207,000, 232,100, and 234,400, non-employee stock options, respectively, were fully vested.

Stock Purchase Plan

Under the terms of the Company’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), eligible employees can purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning or end of the applicable offering period. In 2006, an additional 250,000 shares of common stock were approved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. During 2006, 2005, and 2004, a total of approximately 77,000, 34,000, and 35,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were purchased at an average price of $4.11, $3.58, and $0.77, respectively.

13. Income Taxes

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are as follows at December 31:


	2006			2005
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	32,783		$	27,513
Accrued expenses		140			—
Tax credits		5,734			5,666
License fees		73			84
Inventory		30			161
Capitalized research and development		613			751
Developed technology		(2,903	)		(4,448	)
Trademarks and tradenames		(1,029	)		(1,029	)
Deferred compensation		441			588
Other		164			109

Deferred tax assets		36,046			29,395
Valuation allowance		(37,075	)		(30,424	)

Net deferred tax liability	$	(1,029	)	$	(1,029	)

Based upon the Company’s history of continuing operating losses, realization of its deferred tax assets does not meet the “more likely than not” criteria under SFAS No. 109 and, accordingly, a valuation allowance for the entire deferred tax asset amount has been recorded.

The valuation allowance increased by $6,651, $3,815, and $5,099 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to research and development and other tax credits offset by federal and state losses that were recorded without tax benefit.

At December 31, 2006, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $90,609 and $47,907, respectively, which begin to expire in 2010 and 2007, respectively. In addition, the Company has research and development and other tax credits for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $3,006, and $2,618, respectively, which begin to expire in 2018. The state research and development credits do not expire for California purposes. In addition, the Company has approximately $110 of California Manufacturers’ Investment Credits, which begin to expire in 2007.

Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, the utilization of net operating losses (“NOL”) and other tax attributes may be subject to substantial limitations if certain ownership changes occur during a three-year testing period (as defined). As of December 31, 2006 management has not determined if ownership changes have occurred which would limit the Company’s utilization of its NOL or credit carryovers.

The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 include the net losses of the Company’s wholly-owned German subsidiary of $17, $24, and $56, respectively.

14. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company provides a 401(k) Plan for all employees 21 years of age or older. Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees voluntarily contribute to the Plan up to 100% of their salary through payroll deductions. Employer contributions may be made by the Company at its discretion based upon matching employee contributions, within limits, and profit sharing provided for in the Plan. No employer contributions were made in 2006, 2005, or 2004.

15. Legal Matters

A state court productions liability action was served on the Company on October 7, 2003, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Plaintiff seeks damages for pain and suffering, disability and disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of capacity to earn a living. Plaintiff claims these injuries arose on or about October 1, 2001, following an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with a graft designed, manufactured and distributed by the Company. On February 28, 2007, the Company and plaintiff agreed to a settlement of the matter which will be satisfied through the Company’s insurance policies, and there will be no impact to the Company’s financial statements.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The Company is a party to ordinary disputes arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

16. Subsequent Event

On February 21, 2007, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility, whereby it may borrow up to $5.0 million. All outstanding amounts under the credit facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to the lender’s prime rate plus 0.5%, which is payable on a monthly basis. The unused portion is subject to an unused revolving line facility fee, payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent per annum of the average unused portion of the revolving line, as determined by the bank. The credit facility also contains customary covenants regarding operations of the business and financial covenants relating to ratios of current assets to current liabilities and tangible net worth during any calendar quarter and is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets with the exception of its intellectual property. All amounts owing under the credit facility will become due and payable on February 21, 2009.
