Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
Suros Surgical Systems, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Suros Surgical Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Suros Surgical Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SUROS SURGICAL SYSTEMS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
| (1) | Business and Nature of Operations |
| (a) | Nature of Business |
Suros Surgical Systems, Inc. (the Company or Suros) is a medical device manufacturer setting new industry standards for minimally invasive methods of tissue excision, biopsy and site marking within multiple surgical specialties. Suros designs, develops, manufactures and markets the following medical devices:
Automated Tissue Excision and Collection System (ATEC) a fully automated, minimally invasive, vacuum assisted tissue removal system compatible for use in stereotactic, ultrasound and MRI modalities
TriMark a simple, safe and effective marker deployment system for breast biopsy visible in all imaging modalities
Inherent in Suros business are various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating history and historical operating losses. Suros future success will be dependent upon the medical communitys continued acceptance of the ATEC system and Suros ability to successfully market, produce and distribute its products.
| (2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| (a) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Suros considers all short-term debt securities purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
| (b) | Investments |
As part of its cash management program, the Company from time to time maintains a portfolio of marketable investment securities. The securities have an investment grade and a term to earliest maturity generally of less than one year and include various debt securities and certificates of deposit. These securities are carried at cost, which approximates market. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, interest earned totaled $19,587, $35,595, and $2,938, respectively, and is included as interest income.
| (c) | Accounts Receivable |
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is Suros best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in Suros existing accounts receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Suros does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

| Total inventories |
$ | 2,128,702 | 1,110,776 | ||
| (e) | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Additions and improvements are capitalized. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method at rates intended to depreciate the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful life or the remaining term of the respective lease.

Notes to Financial Statements
amount of intangible assets was $1,059,504 and $751,105 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $500,892 and $383,592, respectively. Suros amortizes its intellectual property over an estimated useful life of 7 years. For the years ending December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 Suros recognized amortization expense of $117,300, $96,060, and $96,060 respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense for each of the next five years is $102,000. Costs related to an unsuccessful patent filing or legal outcome are expensed immediately.
| (h) | Impairment of Long-lived Assets |
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. The Company has not identified any impairment requiring adjustment for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
| (i) | Research and Development Costs |
Research, development and engineering costs are expensed in the year incurred.
| (j) | Revenue Recognition |
Suros recognizes revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Estimated sales returns, discounts and rebates are recorded as a reduction of sales when the related revenue is recognized. For those equipment sales that include multiple deliverables, such as installation or in-service training, revenue is allocated based on the fair values of the individual components as determined in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.
| (k) | Warranties |
The Company provides a one-year standard warranty for the ATEC system. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Companys warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. Suros assesses the adequacy of the warranty reserve at least quarterly and adjusts the amount as necessary.

In addition to the standard warranty, Suros offers customers extended service warranties on the ATEC system for up to 4 years after the expiration of the standard warranty. Revenue generated from the sale of extended warranties is deferred and amortized, utilizing the straight-line method, over the life of the warranty. Costs related to the extended service warranties are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

Notes to Financial Statements
| (l) | Stock Compensation |
Suros applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, Suros has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in 2005, 2004 and 2003.

| (m) | Income Taxes |
Suros accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Notes to Financial Statements
| (p) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| (3) | Change in Incorporation |
Effective June 21, 2004, Suros changed its incorporation from the State of Indiana to the State of Delaware under the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware. The reincorporation was approved and consummated in accordance with the provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Suros.
As a result of the re-incorporation, Suros declared a 100 for one stock split for the Preferred Series B and Preferred Series C shares. The stock split has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements for all periods presented. This split had no net effect on the financial statements. The number of shares increased with a corresponding decrease in dividends and redemption price per share.
| (4) | Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and requires entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. SFAS 154 also makes a distinction between retrospective application of an accounting principle change and the restatement of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Another significant change in practice under SFAS 154 will be that if the entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Under APB 20, such a change would have been reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facility. Suros will adopt SFAS 151 on January 1, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This Statement is a revision to SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Suros will adopt SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Upon adoption of SFAS 123 (R), Suros will be required to recognize compensation cost for all future options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, as expense based on the grant-date fair value of those awards

calculated using Black-Scholes option pricing model. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) will not impact options granted prior to January 1, 2006, unless those options are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. Suros does not expect the adoption of SFAS 123 (R) to have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
| (5) | Leases |
Suros entered an agreement in August of 2004 to lease its new facilities under a noncancelable, operating lease. During 2005, this lease was expanded for additional warehouse facilities. Future minimum lease payments under this lease at December 31, 2005 are as follows:

Rent expense amounted to $381,101, $234,459, and $74,837 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
| (6) | Long-term Debt |
On October 6, 2005, the Company entered into a new line of credit agreement which expires September 30, 2007. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of (a) $6,000,000 or (b) 80% of the Companys eligible accounts as defined by the agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at either the banks prime rate (7.25% at December 31, 2005) or LIBOR plus 2.5%. Borrowings under the line of credit are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, financial guarantees, business combinations, and other related items. The Company had no borrowings under the line of credit as of December 31, 2005.
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the Company modified the terms of the line of credit. The revised terms allow for maximum borrowing availability of $3,000,000 and a maturity date of June 30, 2006.
During 2003, Suros issued $2,350,000 of subordinated convertible notes. The notes bear interest at 7% per annum, with interest paid quarterly. The principal amount of the notes is due in full on December 31, 2008. The conversion feature permits the note holder to convert $3 of principal into one share of common stock.
Suros paid off an unsecured $500,000 line of credit with a bank in July 2004. The line of credit no longer existed as of December 31, 2004.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Suros had net operating loss carryforwards of $5,092,000 and $3,960,000, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards will be available to offset future Federal and state taxable income, if any, through 2025. However, changes in Suros ownership may cause annual limitations on the amount of loss carryforwards that can be utilized to offset income in the future.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Suros had no deferred tax assets recorded because it had provided a valuation allowance against the net amount of these deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the losses generated, management believes the valuation allowance is appropriate.
| (12) | Contingencies |
Suros is involved in patent, product liability, and other legal proceedings that arise in the course of Suros business. Suros records a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the lower end of the range is accrued. If a loss is not probable or a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no liability is recorded. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, Suros had no contingent liabilities recorded.
Patent and other proprietary rights are essential to Suros business. Significant litigation concerning patents and products is pervasive in Suros industry. Patent claims include challenges to the coverage and validity of Suros patents on products or processes as well as allegations that Suros products infringe patents held by competitors or other third parties. Although Suros believes that it has valid defenses to these challenges with respect to material patents, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, and a loss in
