(Deficit) on Page 71 of the Form 10-K. The error consisted of (i) two amounts being incorrectly listed by the financial printer in the second column as a Common Stock Amount rather than in the third column as Additional Paid-In Capital, (ii) one
amount incorrectly listed by the financial printer in the third column as an Additional Paid-In-Capital amount rather than in the fourth column as Unearned Compensation and (iii) three amounts being incorrectly listed by the financial printer in the
sixth column as Other Comprehensive Income rather than in the seventh column as Total Stockholders&#146; Equity (Deficit). The balances included at the bottom of each column were correct. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The foregoing error has been corrected in this Amendment No. 1. We have also included in this Amendment No. 1 a new consent of independent registered
accounting firm as Exhibit 23.1 and new officer certifications as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2. Except for these changes, this Amendment No. 1 does not make any new disclosures, update prior disclosures or attempt to reflect any events that
occurred subsequent to the original filing of the Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008. </FONT></P>

cardiac surgical ablation systems designed to create precise lesions, or scars, in cardiac, or heart, tissue. Medical journals have described the adoption by leading cardiothoracic surgeons of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> bipolar ablation clamp system as a treatment alternative during open-heart surgical procedures to create lesions in cardiac tissue to block the abnormal electrical impulses that cause atrial fibrillation, or AF, a
rapid, irregular quivering of the upper chambers of the heart. Additionally, leading cardiothoracic surgeons, treatment guidelines as published by the Heart Rhythm Society and publications in medical journals have described our Isolator<FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system as a standard treatment alternative for AF patients who may be candidates for sole-therapy minimally invasive surgical procedures. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">From our inception in November 2000 through the first half of 2002, our operations consisted
primarily of development-stage activities, including the development of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system, raising capital, obtaining product clearances, conducting product testing and evaluations, and
recruiting personnel. In January 2003 we commenced a full commercial release of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system. Revenues reached $48.3 million in 2007, were $38.2 million in 2006, and were $31.0
million in 2005. We anticipate that substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future will relate to products we currently sell or are in the process of developing, which surgeons use to ablate cardiac tissue for the treatment of AF or we
believe will use in the future for the exclusion of the left atrial appendage in order to potentially reduce the risk of stroke in patients with AF. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our primary product line, which accounts for a majority of our revenues, is our AtriCure
Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> bipolar ablation system. Our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system consists primarily of a compact power generator known as an ablation and
sensing unit, or ASU, a switchbox unit, or ASB, which allows physicians to toggle between multiple products and multiple configurations of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> clamps, including our recently
introduced Isolator Synergy</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> clamps. We sell two configurations of our clamps, one designed for ablation during open-heart, or open, procedures and
one designed for ablation during sole-therapy minimally invasive procedures. We also sell a multifunctional bipolar pen, or multifunctional pen, which is often used by physicians in combination with our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system to ablate cardiac tissue and for temporary pacing, sensing, stimulating and recording during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias. Additionally, we sell various configurations of enabling devices, such as our
Lumitip</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> dissection tool. In August 2007, we acquired a cardiac cryoablation product line which uses extreme cold to ablate tissue. Prior to our
acquisition of the product line, we sold the product line as a distributor. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

our wholly-owned European subsidiary incorporated and based in the Netherlands, sells our products throughout Europe, primarily through distributors, with the exception of Germany and Austria where we began to sell direct through our sales force
during 2007. Additionally, we sell our products to other international distributors, primarily in Asia, South America and Canada. Our business is primarily transacted in U.S. dollars with the exception of transactions with our European subsidiary
which are primarily transacted in Euros. Our sales outside of the United States represented 14% of our 2007 revenues. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cardiothoracic surgeons have adopted our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system to treat AF in over 40,000 patients since January 2003. Based on this adoption of our products, we believe that we are currently the market leader in the surgical treatment of AF. The Food and Drug
Administration, or FDA, has cleared our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system and our multifunctional pen for the ablation of cardiac tissue, but to date, none of our products have been cleared by the FDA for
the treatment of AF and accordingly, substantially all of our revenues are currently generated through non-FDA-approved, or off-label, use of our products for the treatment of AF. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, encountered in clinical practice and accounts for more doctor visits and hospital days
than any other cardiac arrhythmia. According to data from the Framingham Study, one in four people over the age of 40 in the United States has a lifetime risk of developing AF, and the incidence of AF increases with age. More than five million
people worldwide, including approximately 2.5&nbsp;million Americans, have been diagnosed with AF and studies expect a 30% increase in the prevalence of AF by 2015. According to the American Heart Association, approximately 15% to 20% of the
estimated 700,000 strokes that occur annually in the United States are attributable to AF and people with AF are approximately five times more likely to have a stroke. Further, 35% of AF patients will have a stroke in their lifetime and AF-related
strokes tend to be severe. Studies suggest that 25% of the people who have an AF-related stroke die within the first thirty days following their stroke and over 40% are permanently bedridden. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AF is a condition that doctors often find difficult to treat, and historically there has been no widely accepted long-term cure for AF. Doctors typically
begin treating AF with drugs, which are often ineffective, not well-tolerated and may be associated with serious side effects. Patients who cannot effectively be treated with drugs occasionally undergo catheter-based procedures to treat their AF,
but catheter-based procedures are often technically challenging, can be associated with serious complications, are not indicated for a certain population of AF patients, and have been known to yield inconsistent results. Implantable devices, such as
pacemakers and defibrillators, are sometimes used to reduce the frequency and symptoms of AF, although they are not designed to treat the underlying disease. In the past, an open-heart surgical procedure known as the cut and sew Maze was used to
treat AF, but this procedure was not widely adopted because it is technically challenging, highly invasive and involves long recovery times. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The creation of transmural, or full-thickness, lesions is thought to be a potentially critical
factor in the successful treatment of AF when performing ablation treatments. Prominent medical journals, which contain articles that were written, in part, by leading cardiothoracic surgeons, some of whom may be consultants to us, describe how
cardiothoracic surgeons have used our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system to create transmural lesions when treating AF either during an elective open-heart surgical procedure or as a sole-therapy minimally
invasive procedure. As indicated in these articles, cardiothoracic surgeons using our products have treated AF in approximately 20 minutes during open-heart surgical procedures and in approximately two to three hours as a sole-therapy minimally
invasive procedure. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 2007, the FDA cleared our Isolator<FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system for the ablation of cardiac tissue. Prior to July 2007, our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system had been cleared in the United States for the
ablation of soft tissues during general and thoracic surgical procedures. Our multifunctional pen has been cleared by the FDA for cardiac tissue ablation and for temporary pacing, sensing, stimulating and recording during the evaluation of cardiac
arrhythmias. We may only promote our products to doctors and provide education and training on the use of our devices for their cleared indications, which does not include the treatment of AF. While the FDA does not prevent doctors from using
products off-label, we cannot market a product for an off-label use. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are in the process of conducting a clinical
trial, known as ABLATE, to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system for the treatment of patients who have AF and are undergoing a concomitant open-heart procedure. If
this trial is successful, we intend to seek FDA approval as early as 2010 for the use of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system during open procedures to treat patients with permanent AF. If the FDA were to
require our products to have AF approval in order for us to continue selling them, not only would we no longer receive revenues from the sale of these products, but we also would require significant financing to conduct additional clinical trials
and to sustain our operations until such time as sales could resume. We cannot be assured that we can obtain FDA approvals for the treatment of AF, that we would have, or could raise, sufficient financial resources to sustain our operations pending
FDA approval, or that, if and when the required approvals are obtained, there will be a market for our products, including our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system and our multifunctional pen. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the use of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT>
system and multifunctional pen to treat AF remains investigational and we are still seeking FDA approval in connection with the use of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system for the treatment of AF,
preliminary clinical studies conducted by doctors at leading medical centers provide support for our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> systems&#146; ability to create the lesions needed to block the abnormal
electrical impulses that cause AF. We believe that those studies indicate that we have a significant potential competitive advantage in the treatment of AF. Several clinical studies, including a 27-patient study, a 40-patient study, a 47-patient
study and a 276-patient study, in which several of our consultants participated and that were published in <I>The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery</I>, found that approximately 90% of study participants treated using our Isolator<FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system were free of AF at their six-month follow-up. Recently, several studies have been completed and results published utilizing our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system and our multifunctional pen during minimally invasive sole therapy surgery for the treatment of AF, in which several of our consultants have participated, including a 20-patient, a 22-patient and an 88-patient
study. The success rates for the treatment of paroxysmal, or intermittent, AF patients were in excess of eighty percent and patients who had more continuous, or persistent or permanent, AF experienced success rates ranging from 25% to over 50%. We
plan to introduce our new Coolrail</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>TM </SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Linear Ablation Pen system, or linear ablation pen, during the first half of 2008, which when used in
combination with our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system and other products will allow physicians to perform an expanded ablation during a sole-therapy procedure. We believe this expanded ablation, or lesion
set, will result in higher success rates when physicians treat patients with more continuous AF. We believe the overall demand for our products will increase, including an increased demand for products for use in minimally invasive procedures, which
we believe will ultimately represent our largest growth opportunity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have developed the AtriCure Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion
System, which is designed to exclude the left atrial appendage by implanting the device during open or minimally invasive surgical procedures from the outside of the heart, avoiding contact with the circulating blood pool while eliminating blood
flow between the left atrial appendage and the atria. It is estimated that 15% to 20% of all strokes are attributable to AF and that a majority of cardiac clots in patients with AF form in the left atrial appendage, which some physicians believe is
associated with AF-related strokes. We believe that the surgical practice of excluding the left atrial appendage has become a growing trend in procedures performed to treat AF. We also believe that our left atrial appendage exclusion system is
potentially safer, more effective and easier to use when permanently excluding the left atrial appendage than products and procedures currently being utilized. Our left atrial appendage exclusion system is currently being utilized and has been
safely and effectively implanted in humans as part of a clinical evaluation in Europe. The AtriCure Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion System has not yet been approved for human use by the FDA in the United States. However, we have filed a 510(k)
notification with the FDA and if the FDA&#146;s review is favorable, we expect to have clearance from them for commercial use of the AtriCure Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion System to permanently exclude the left atrial appendage in the second half
of 2008 or 2009. We believe the market for the left atrial appendage exclusion system is large and represents a significant new growth opportunity for us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AF is a condition where abnormal electrical impulses cause the atria, or upper chambers of the heart, to fibrillate, or quiver, at rapid rates of 400 to 600 beats per minute. As a result of this quivering, blood in
the atria becomes static, creating an increased risk that a blood clot will form and cause a stroke or other serious complications. If AF persists, patients often progress from experiencing AF intermittently to having AF continuously, a condition
that is more difficult to treat. Symptoms of AF may include heart palpitations, dizziness, fatigue and shortness of breath, and these symptoms may be debilitating and life threatening in some cases. Although there is often no specific cause of a
patient&#146;s AF, the condition is often associated with high blood pressure and other forms of heart disease. In most cases, AF is associated with cardiovascular disease, in particular hypertension, congestive heart failure, left ventricular
dysfunction, coronary artery disease and valvular disease. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AF is the most commonly diagnosed sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and affects
more than five million people worldwide, including more than 2.5&nbsp;million Americans, where approximately 160,000 new cases of AF are diagnosed each year. According to data from the Framingham Study, it is estimated that the incidence of AF
doubles with each decade of an adult&#146;s life. At age 40, remaining lifetime risk for AF was 26% for men and 23% for women. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">According
to the American Heart Association, people with AF are about five times more likely to have a stroke, and AF is thought to be responsible for approximately 15% to 20% of the estimated 700,000 strokes that occur annually in the United States. AF
accounts for an estimated five million office visits annually and approximately $6.7 billion in hospitalization-related costs in the United States each year. These costs do not include the costs of drugs or indirect costs, such as the management of
AF-related strokes, the costs of which are believed to be significant. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AF is an
under-diagnosed condition due in large part to the fact that patients with AF often have mild or no symptoms, and their AF is only diagnosed when they seek treatment for an associated condition, such as a stroke or heart disease. We believe that
increasing awareness of AF and improved diagnostic screening will result in an increased number of patients diagnosed with AF. Also, since the prevalence of AF increases with age, there will likely be an increase in the number of diagnosed AF
patients in the United States as the population ages. Of the patients undergoing open-heart surgery in the United States, we estimate that approximately 80,000 of these patients are potential candidates for surgical ablation using our Isolator<FONT

States population diagnosed with AF, approximately 12% of these patients are symptomatic and do not respond to drug therapy or are intolerant to the drugs used to treat AF. For these patients, the cut and sew Maze procedure is typically too invasive
and catheter ablation is often not indicated. Accordingly, we believe that there is a large population of under-treated patients who would potentially benefit from minimally invasive AF treatment using our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system, and that these patients will ultimately comprise our largest growth opportunity. </FONT></P> <P

considered by many physicians to be necessary for the treatment of AF, since creating lesions with gaps can fail to treat AF and may cause other abnormal heart rhythms. Initial studies have found that between 80% and 95% of the study participants
treated for AF during open-heart procedures using our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> clamps were free of AF at a minimum of six-month follow-up. Recently, initial studies have been published in leading

cardiothoracic surgeons use our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system to treat patients with a pre-existing history of AF. Surgeons report that ablation using our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system generally adds approximately 20 minutes to an open-heart surgical procedure. Surgeons use our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> clamps to perform cardiac procedures that may
vary depending on the length of time a patient has been diagnosed with AF and whether the patient&#146;s AF is intermittent, or paroxysmal, or more continuous, known as persistent or permanent AF. Patients who have been diagnosed with AF for a
longer duration and have more continuous AF generally receive more extensive ablation procedures than patients who have been diagnosed with AF for a shorter duration or who have paroxysmal AF. Surgeons using our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system and related products during an open-heart surgical procedure typically perform the following steps: </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Pulmonary Vein Isolation</I>. Regardless of the duration or type of AF, surgeons will create
lesions in the heart tissue surrounding the pulmonary veins to create an electrical barrier between the pulmonary veins and the atrium, or upper chambers of the heart. In patients with intermittent AF, those lesions are often the extent of the
treatment required. Cardiothoracic surgeons report that using our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system for open-heart procedures enables them to create lesions to achieve electrical isolation of the pulmonary
veins from the atrium. In order to perform this procedure, surgeons position the jaws of our clamps on the cardiac tissue surrounding the pulmonary veins. The jaws are closed and the ablation is activated. Moments later, an audible tone from the ASU
alerts the surgeon that the conductance has dropped below a certain threshold, indicating that the lesion has become transmural, or full thickness, and that the pulmonary veins have been electrically isolated. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Additional Lesions</I>. For those patients who have more continuous AF, doctors may determine
that additional lesions may be required to treat their AF. In cases where patients require such additional lesions, surgeons may use our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> clamps for open-heart surgical procedures
to create lesions in the atrium that are intended to reproduce similar electrical barriers to those created by surgeons during the cut and sew Maze procedure. In some cases, doctors may also use our multifunctional pen to sense, pace, stimulate or
ablate cardiac tissues. Additionally our reusable cryothermy probes are often used to ablate cardiac tissues near the heart valves. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Sole-Therapy

through minimally invasive incisions without the need to place patients on a heart-lung bypass machine. Surgeons have reported that the procedure takes approximately two to three hours and that the average hospitalization period has been two to five
days. Similar to the open-heart surgical procedure, patients who have more continuous AF generally require an expanded lesion set that mimics the cut and sew Maze procedure. During the first half of 2008, we plan to introduce our

include private insurers and government insurance programs, such as Medicare or Medicaid. The Medicare program, the largest single payor in the United States, is a federal health benefit program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services, or CMS, and covers certain medical care items and services for eligible beneficiaries, such as individuals over 65 years old, as well as chronically disabled individuals. Reimbursement under Part A of the Medicare program includes
hospitals and other institutional services, while Part B of Medicare includes doctors&#146; services. Because Medicare beneficiaries comprise a large percentage of the populations for which our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system is used, and private insurers may follow the coverage and payment policies for Medicare, Medicare&#146;s coverage and payment policies are significant to our operation. </FONT></P> <P

payment based on the patient&#146;s discharge diagnosis. Discharge diagnoses are grouped into Diagnosis Related Groups, or DRGs. Effective October 2007, Medicare hospital reimbursement moved to a severity-adjusted DRG system. This severity-based DRG
system considers a patient&#146;s co-morbidities and procedural complications in determining the DRG assignment, or code. We do not expect these changes to have a material impact on our business or revenues. There are several cardiac surgery DRGs

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">open-heart DRG. Reimbursement for sole-therapy minimally invasive AF treatment is represented by unique cardiac surgery DRGs. Each year, Medicare&#146;s
inpatient coding, coverage, and payment polices are subject to change. As a result, the continuance of current coverage, coding or payment determinations cannot be guaranteed, and any change may have an adverse impact on our operations. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Doctors are reimbursed for their services separately under the Medicare Part B physician fee schedule. When surgically treating AF with and without a
concomitant open-heart procedure, surgeons must select the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, codes to receive payment.&nbsp;These billing codes identify the procedure or procedures performed and are relied upon to determine
third-party payor amounts. In terms of physician reimbursement for surgical ablation procedures, on January&nbsp;1, 2007 several new CPT codes for sole-therapy surgical ablation procedures were published by the American Medical Association, or AMA,
in the CPT coding book for 2007. The &#147;one-size fits all&#148; maze CPT code was deleted effective December&nbsp;31, 2006.&nbsp;In its place, surgeons now have the choice of five different CPT codes for sole-therapy ablation procedures depending
on the extent of the procedure and ablation performed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During 2007 when an ablation was performed during an open-heart concomitant
procedure, per AMA guidelines, surgeons were directed to use the miscellaneous CPT code for cardiac surgery.&nbsp;Generally, payors require surgeons to submit documentation that establishes the medical necessity for the ablation procedure when a
miscellaneous CPT code is used. However, reimbursement is determined solely by the payor. Based on this change, we expected and believe that the reimbursement for open-heart concomitant procedures was less during 2007 when compared to the preceding
year and we believe this had a negative impact on the demand for our open-heart products during 2007. Effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, three new CPT codes were introduced for cardiac ablation when performed concomitantly. The 2008 codes are
&#147;add-on&#148; codes and will allow the physician to obtain full reimbursement for the ablation procedure and the primary procedure. Prior to 2007, the reimbursement for the ablation under the &#147;one-size fits all&#148; maze CPT code was
reduced by at least 50% when the ablation was performed concomitantly during open-heart surgery. We believe this is change could have a positive impact on the demand for our products which are used during open-heart procedures during 2008.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Currently, we believe that the AF treatment reimbursement rates are adequate for
hospitals to cover the use of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system. In 2007, we estimate that the national Medicare average hospital payment rate for an open-heart procedure, whether or not the AF
treatment was included, was approximately $17,500 to $40,000 depending on the type of open-heart procedure being performed, the geographic region and the type of facility. The cost of AF treatment performed during open-heart surgical procedures is
not reimbursed separately by the Medicare program. For example, reimbursement for open-heart surgical procedures include supplies, such as an ablation device, but exclude doctor&#146;s fees for these procedures, which payors remit to doctors in
addition to the amounts paid to hospitals. We estimate that Medicare&#146;s national average reimbursement to hospitals for AF treatment performed as a sole-therapy minimally invasive treatment was approximately $28,000 in 2007. Effective October
2007, Medicare hospital reimbursement moved to a severity-adjusted DRG system. Although we currently expect a modest decline in the average reimbursement for hospitals as a result of this change, we do not expect these changes to have a material
impact on our business or revenues. Reimbursement rates from other third-party payors may be the same as or higher or lower than Medicare rates, depending on their particular reimbursement methodology. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to the Medicare program, many private payors look to CMS policies as a guideline in setting their coverage policies and payment amounts. The
current coverage policies of these private payors may differ from the Medicare program, and the payment rates they make may be higher, lower, or the same as the Medicare program. If CMS or other agencies decrease or limit reimbursement payments to
doctors and hospitals, this may negatively affect coverage and reimbursement determinations by many private payors. Additionally, some private payors do not follow the Medicare guidelines, and those payors may reimburse only a portion of the cost of
AF treatment, or not at all. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

risks are placed in either Class&nbsp;I or II, which requires the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a 510(k) notification requesting clearance to commercially distribute the device. Some low risk devices are exempted from this requirement. Devices
deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device, or predicate device, are placed in Class III,
requiring submission of a PMA supported by clinical trial data. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 2007, the
FDA determined that our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system is a Class II device and granted us 510(k) clearance to market our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system for
the ablation of cardiac tissue. During 2007, the FDA approved our clinical trial, ABLATE. Notwithstanding the FDA&#146;s decision, in order to market our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system for the treatment
of AF, the FDA will require that we seek approval through submission to the FDA of a PMA. Submission of a PMA is a much more demanding process than the 510(k) notification process. Both 510(k)s and PMAs must now be submitted with a potentially
substantial user fee payment to the FDA, although certain exemptions and waivers can apply, including certain exemptions and waivers for small businesses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

cleared and legally marketed 510(k) device or a device that was in commercial distribution before May&nbsp;28, 1976 for which the FDA has not yet called for the submission of a PMA. The FDA is required to respond to a 510(k) notification&nbsp;within
90 days of submission, but the response may be a request for additional information or data, including clinical data. As a practical matter, 510(k) clearance often takes significantly longer than 90 days and may take up to a year or more. If the FDA
determines that the device, or its intended use, is not substantially equivalent to a previously-cleared device or use, the device is automatically placed into Class III, requiring the submission of a PMA. Any modification to a 510(k)-cleared device
that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design or manufacture, requires a new 510(k) clearance or, possibly, in connection with safety and </FONT>

the FDA may review any manufacturer&#146;s decision. We have made modifications to elements of our products, but we do not believe that such modifications will require us to seek additional 510(k) clearance. The FDA may not agree with our decisions
regarding whether new 510(k) clearances are required. If the FDA disagrees with us and requires us to submit a new 510(k) or PMA, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until we obtain clearance or approval. In
addition, we could be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties. Furthermore, our products could be subject to recall if the FDA determines, for any reason, that our products are not safe or effective. Delays in receipt or failure to
receive clearances or approvals, the loss of previously received clearances or approvals, or the failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could reduce our sales, profitability and future growth prospects. </FONT></P> <P

otherwise exempt. The PMA process is much more demanding than the 510(k) notification process. A PMA must be supported by extensive data, including but not limited to technical, preclinical, clinical trials, manufacturing and labeling to demonstrate
to the FDA&#146;s satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">After a PMA is submitted and the FDA has determined that the
application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review, the FDA will accept the application for filing. The FDA has 180 days to review an &#147;accepted&#148; PMA, although the review of an application generally occurs over a
significantly longer period of time and can take up to several years. During this review period, the FDA may request additional information or clarification of the information already provided. Also, an advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA
may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. In addition, the FDA will conduct a preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure compliance with
quality system regulations. Any approvals we receive may be limited in scope or may be contingent upon onerous post-approval study commitments or other conditions. New PMAs or PMA supplements are required for significant modification to the device,
including indicated use, manufacturing process, labeling and design of a device that is approved through the premarket approval process. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a PMA, except that the supplement is
limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original PMA and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Clinical Trials.</I></B> Clinical trials are required to support a PMA and are sometimes required for 510(k) clearance. In the United States,
clinical trials for a significant risk device require the prior submission of an application for an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, to the FDA for approval. An IDE amendment must also be submitted before initiating a new clinical study
under an existing IDE, such as initiating a pivotal trial following the conclusion of a feasibility trial. The IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory testing results, and any available data on human
clinical experience, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The animal and laboratory testing must meet the FDA&#146;s good laboratory practice requirements. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The IDE and any IDE supplement for a new trial must be approved in advance by the FDA. Clinical trials for significant risk devices may not begin until
the IDE application or IDE supplement is approved by the FDA and the appropriate institutional review boards, or IRBs, overseeing the welfare of the research subjects and responsible for that particular clinical trial. If the product is considered a
non-significant risk device under FDA regulations, only the patients&#146; informed consent and IRB approval are required. Under its regulations, the agency responds to an IDE or an IDE amendment for a new trial within 30&nbsp;days. The FDA may
approve the IDE or amendment, grant an approval with certain conditions, or identify deficiencies and request additional information. It is common for the FDA to require additional information before approving an IDE or amendment for a new trial,
and thus final FDA approval on a submission may extend beyond the initial 30 days. The FDA may also require that a small-scale feasibility study be conducted before a pivotal trial may commence. In a </FONT>

trials are subject to extensive recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Our clinical trials must be conducted under the oversight of an IRB for the relevant clinical trial sites and must comply with FDA regulations, including but not limited to
those relating to good clinical practices. We are also required to obtain the patients&#146; informed consent in form and substance that complies with both FDA requirements and state and federal privacy and human subject protection regulations. We,
the FDA or the IRB may suspend a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits. Even if a trial is completed, the results of clinical testing may not adequately
demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the device or may otherwise not be sufficient to obtain FDA approval to market the product in the United States. Similarly, in Europe the clinical study must be approved by a local ethics committee and in some
cases, including studies with high-risk devices, by the ministry of health in the applicable country. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Educational Grants.</I></B>

from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare industry. In implementing the statute, the Office
of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Services, or OIG, has issued a series of regulations, known as the &#147;safe harbors.&#148; These safe harbors set forth provisions that, if all their applicable requirements are met, will
assure healthcare providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit precisely within one or more safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal
or that prosecution will be pursued. However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy each applicable element of a safe harbor may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities, such as the OIG. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Federal False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes civil liability on any person or entity that submits, or causes the submission of a false or fraudulent
claim to the United States Government. Damages under the FCA can be significant and consist of the imposition of fines and penalties. The Federal False Claims Act also allows a private individual or entity with knowledge of past or present fraud on
the federal government to sue on behalf of the government to recover the civil penalties and treble damages. The U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the government has successfully enforced the F CA against pharmaceutical and medical device
manufacturers. The federal government suit has alleged that pharmaceutical manufacturers whose marketing and promotional practices were found to have included the off-label promotion of drugs or the payment of prohibited kickbacks to doctors
violated the FCA on the grounds that these prohibited activities resulted in the submission of improper claims to federal and state healthcare entitlement programs such as Medicaid. Such manufacturers have entered into criminal and civil settlements
with the federal government under which they entered into plea agreements, paid substantial monetary amounts and entered into corporate integrity agreements that require, among other things, substantial reporting and remedial actions going forward.

other applicable laws, but we cannot assure you that the federal authorities will not take action against us and, if such action were successful, we could be required to pay significant fines and penalties and change our marketing practices. Such
enforcement could have a significant adverse effect on our ability to operate. We engage in a variety of activities that are subject to these laws and that have come under particular scrutiny in recent years by federal and state regulators and law
enforcement entities. These activities have included consulting arrangements with cardiothoracic surgeons, grants for training and other education, grants for research, and other interactions with doctors. </FONT></P> <P

and protocols for medical device manufacturers in their relationships with healthcare professionals on matters including research and development, product training and education, grants and charitable contributions, support of third-party
educational conferences, and consulting arrangements. Adoption of the AdvaMed Code by a medical device manufacturer is voluntary, and while the OIG and other federal and state healthcare regulatory agencies encourage its adoption and may look to the
AdvaMed Code, they do not view adoption of the AdvaMed Code as proof of compliance with applicable laws. We have adopted the AdvaMed Code and incorporated its principles in our standard operating procedures, sales force training programs, and
relationships with doctors. Key to the underlying principles of the AdvaMed Code is the need to focus the relationships between manufacturers and healthcare professionals on matters of training, education and scientific research, and limit payments
between manufacturers and healthcare professionals to payment of fair market value for legitimate services provided and payment of modest meal, travel and other expenses for a healthcare professional under limited circumstances. We have incorporated
these principles into our relationships with healthcare professionals under our consulting agreements, payment of travel and lodging expenses, grant making procedures and sponsorship of third-party conferences. In addition, we have conducted
training sessions on these principles. However, we can not provide any assurance that regulatory or enforcement authorities will view these arrangements as being in compliance with applicable laws. </FONT></P> <P

manufacturer&#146;s quality system and specific testing of the manufacturer&#146;s device. Such an assessment is required for a manufacturer to commercially distribute the product throughout these countries. International Standards Organization, or

notification or FDA approval through the submission of a pre-market approval application, or PMA, before a company may market a medical device in the United States. Certain modifications to a previously marketed device, including a proposed new use
or new indication for the device, also require the submission to the FDA of either a 510(k) or PMA before such device with the modifications may be marketed. The process of obtaining these clearances and approvals can be lengthy and expensive. The
PMA process is more costly, lengthy and uncertain than the 510(k) process and requires that the device be found to be safe and effective and must be supported by extensive data, including data from preclinical studies and human clinical trials.
Though less likely, a 510(k) application may require human clinical trials as well. Because we cannot assure you that any new products, or any product enhancements, that we develop will be subject to the shorter 510(k) clearance process, significant

This study enrolled 25 patients at 5 leading US centers. During 2007, we worked with our investigators to write a clinical report to the FDA and utilized this clinical data in support of adding a new arm to the study, RESTORE-SR IIB. In RESTORE-SR
IIB, we intend to study patients experiencing persistent and permanent AF using our Isolator Synergy</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> system. We anticipate beginning patient

resources to pursue a claim of infringement against those third parties. We believe that third parties may have developed or are developing products that could infringe upon our patent rights. Any pursuit of an infringement claim by us may involve
substantial expense or diversion of management attention. In addition, although we have entered into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, investigators and advisors, such

significant fines and penalties and would likely be required to change substantially our sales, promotion, grant and educational activities. There is also a possibility that we could face an injunction that would prohibit in whole or in part our
current business activities, and, as a result of enforcement actions against us or our senior officers, we could be excluded from participation in government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. If there is a change in law, regulation

Sole-therapy minimally invasive AF treatment does qualify for reimbursement from the fee-for-service Medicare program allowing both doctors and hospitals to receive reimbursement for this type of AF treatment. In addition, the Medicare program has
already adopted specific hospital inpatient treatment codes describing AF treatment by ablation in sole-therapy minimally invasive procedures such as that provided through the use of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP>

American Medical Association (AMA) in the CPT coding book for 2007. The &#147;one-size fits all&#148; maze CPT code was deleted effective December&nbsp;31, 2006.&nbsp;In its place, surgeons now have the choice of five different CPT codes for
sole-therapy ablation procedures. These limited CPT choices are expected to reimburse physicians less than the &#147;one-size fits all&#148; CPT code of 2006 for sole-therapy procedures. For open-heart concomitant ablation procedures, the AMA
recommended use of the miscellaneous CPT code. Although we do not believe that this change in CPT coding for 2007 had a material affect on our open-heart product revenues, we do believe that it negatively affected reimbursement for open-heart
concomitant procedures and consequently demand for our products. Effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, three new CPT codes were created for physician reimbursement for ablation during open-heart concomitant procedures. </FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">The market prices of the securities of medical device companies, particularly companies like ours without consistent product revenues and earnings, have been highly volatile and are likely to remain highly volatile in the future. This
volatility has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market prices generally are not sustainable and are highly volatile. In the past, companies that experience volatility in the market price of their

amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our common stock could fall. The holders of up to 3.9&nbsp;million shares of our common stock have rights, subject to some
conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. Furthermore, if we were to include in a company-initiated
registration statement shares held by those holders pursuant to the exercise of their registration rights, the sale of those shares could impair our ability to raise needed capital by depressing the price at which we could sell our common stock. In
addition, we may need to raise capital in the future to fund our operations. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, our stock price may decline and our existing shareholders may experience significant dilution. Furthermore, we may enter
into financing transactions at prices that represent a substantial discount to market price. A negative reaction by investors and securities analysts to any sale of our equity securities could result in a decline in the trading price of our common

requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors and any proposed merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, they could have a substantial influence over the

cardiac ablation products designed to create precise lesions, or scars, in cardiac, or heart, tissue. Our primary product line, which accounts for a majority of our revenues, is our AtriCure Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> bipolar ablation system. Our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system consists primarily of a compact power generator known as an ablation and sensing unit, or ASU, a switchbox
unit, or ASB, which allows physicians to toggle between multiple products and multiple configurations of our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> clamps, including our recently introduced Isolator Synergy</FONT><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> clamps. We sell two configurations of our clamps, one designed for ablation during open-heart, or open, procedures and one designed for ablation during
sole-therapy minimally invasive procedures. We also sell a multifunctional bipolar Pen which is often used by physicians in combination with our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system to ablate cardiac tissue
and for temporary pacing, sensing, stimulating and recording during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias. Additionally, we sell various configurations of enabling devices, such as our Lumitip</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="1"><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> dissection tool. In August of 2007, we acquired a cardiac cryoablation product line, which uses extreme cold to ablate tissue. Prior to our acquisition of the product line, we sold
the product line as a distributor. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:3px;line-Height:95%; vertical-align:top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We commenced a full commercial release of our
primary product line, the Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system for use during open heart procedures in 2003, and have brought new products to market over time. During 2005, we commercialized the Isolator<FONT

million through an initial public offering. Since then, we have invested heavily in expanding our product development organizations and activities and building our sales and marketing organizations and activities. Our operating expenses have

cardiac tissue to block the abnormal electrical impulses that cause atrial fibrillation, or AF, a rapid, irregular quivering of the upper chambers of the heart. Additionally, leading cardiac surgeons, treatment guidelines as published by the Heart
Rhythm Society and publications in medical journals have described our Isolator<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP>&reg;</SUP></FONT> system as a standard treatment alternative for patients who may be candidates for sole-therapy minimally

directly through our sales force during 2007. Additionally, we sell our products to other international distributors, primarily in Asia, South America and Canada. Our business is primarily transacted in U.S. dollars, with the exception of

first half of 2008, will likely be adopted by physicians to perform an expanded lesion set during minimally invasive procedures. We plan to release our new disposable, cryoablation probe during the second half of 2008 and believe it will be adopted
by physicians in combination with our other products to create ablations during certain open-heart procedures. Our left atrial appendage exclusion system is currently being utilized and has been safely and effectively implanted in humans as part of
a clinical evaluation in Europe. The left atrial appendage exclusion system has not yet been approved for human use by the FDA in the United States. However, we have filed a 510(k) notification with the FDA and if the FDA review is favorable, we
expect to have clearance from them for commercial use to permanently exclude the left atrial appendage in the second half of 2008 or 2009. We believe the market for our left atrial appendage exclusion system is large and represents a significant new
growth opportunity for us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In August of 2007, The Centers for Medicare&nbsp;&amp; Medicaid, or CMS, issued the final 2008 Inpatient

$48.3 million in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales of approximately 36% and a 2.5% increase as a result of currency rate fluctuation. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in worldwide average
selling prices, or ASPs, driven by an increased mix of international sales, which generally carry a lower ASP per unit due to the use of distributors to sell into most international markets, and product mix. </FONT></P> <P

total number of units sold. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased from 19.9% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 to 21.0% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues
was primarily due to an increased mix of international revenues, which carry a lower ASP than domestic revenues. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Research and
development expenses.</B> Research and development expenses decreased $1.2 million, from $12.2 million in 2006 to $11.0 million in 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to a net decrease in our external product development expenses and
redeployment during 2007 of several individuals who previously focused on clinical activities to selling activities, a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses
decreased from 31.9% in 2006 to 22.7% in 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Selling, general and administrative expenses.</B> Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $6.6 million, from $33.2 million in 2006 to $39.8 million in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in headcount-related charges of $4.8 million, primarily in the sales and marketing functions, an increase in
marketing expenditures of $1.0 million to support an increased presence at several key industry events, a $0.8 million increase in stock option expense and $0.3 million related to our settlement of an outstanding legal dispute with a former European
distributor. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 86.7% in 2006 to 82.3% in 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

$38.2 million in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the total number of disposable units sold, partially offset by a decrease in worldwide ASP&#146;s. Though our domestic and international revenues were both favorably
impacted by increases in the average selling prices, the increase in lower-priced international units sold as a percentage of total units sold resulted in a decline in our worldwide average selling prices. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Cost of revenues.</B> Cost of revenues decreased $0.4 million, from $8.1 million in 2005 to $7.6 million in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a

On a periodic basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales returns and allowances, accounts receivable, inventories and stock-based compensation. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions

Our determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These
variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Due to our limited trading history, we used the implied
volatility of a group of comparable companies. The weighted-average estimated fair value of options granted during the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $5.21, $3.92, and $6.22 respectively, using the Black-Scholes model with

primarily from the sale of our disposable surgical devices. Pursuant to our standard terms of sale, revenues are recognized when title to the goods and risk of loss transfers to customers and there are no remaining obligations that will affect the
customers&#146; final acceptance of the sale. Generally, our standard terms of sale define the transfer of title and risk of loss to occur upon shipment to the respective customer. We generally do not maintain any post-shipping obligations to the
recipients of the products. No installation, calibration or testing of this equipment is performed by us subsequent to shipment to the customer in order to render it operational. Product revenues include shipping revenues of approximately $468,000,
$241,000, and $141,000 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Cost of freight for shipments made to customers is included in cost of revenues. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from product
revenues. We sell our products primarily through our direct sales force and through AtriCure Europe B.V. Terms of sale are generally consistent for both end-users and distributors and payment terms are generally net 30 days. </FONT></P> <P

guidelines on the timing of revenue recognition based upon factors such as passage of title, installation, payment terms and ability to return products. We recognize revenues when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence that an
arrangement exists; delivery of the products or services has occurred; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the appropriate reserve for doubtful accounts. In determining the amount of the reserve, we consider aging of account balances, historical credit losses, customer-specific information, and other relevant factors. Increases to the allowance for
doubtful accounts results in a corresponding expense. Periodically, we review accounts receivable and adjust the allowance based on current circumstances and charge-off uncollectible receivables against the allowance when all attempts to collect the

first-out, or FIFO, cost method and consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Reserves are estimated for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory, as well as inventory with a carrying value in excess of its net realizable
value. Write-offs are recorded when the product is destroyed. We review inventory on hand at least quarterly and record provisions for excess and obsolete inventory based on several factors including our current assessment of future product demand,
anticipated release of new products into the market, historical experience and product expiration. Our industry is characterized by rapid product development and frequent new product introductions. Uncertain timing of product approvals, variability
in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all impact the estimates related to excess and obsolete inventory. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

&#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#148; In 2007, we recorded a charge of approximately $88,000 for the impairment of obsolete machinery, equipment and tooling. In 2005, we recorded a charge of approximately
$266,000 for the impairment of certain obsolete tooling equipment. We did not recognize any impairment of property and equipment in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more often if impairment indicators are present, to determine if the fair value of the business can support the amount of goodwill. The goodwill tests include discounted cash flow models and a
market valuation approach. The discounted cash flow models include assumptions about future market conditions and operating results. If an impairment test indicates the fair value cannot support the amount of goodwill recorded, we will be required
to record a goodwill impairment charge. As a result, the value of the assets could be significantly reduced, which would increase operating expenses and reduce net income for the period in which the charge occurs. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007 there
was no indication that an impairment existed and we did not recognize any impairment during 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Intangible assets with determinable

Allowance&#151; </I></B>Income taxes have been computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and
liabilities. Deferred taxes are measured using provisions of currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be fully realized. Tax credits are
accounted for as a reduction of income taxes in the year in which the credit originates. Our estimate for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires us to make significant estimates and judgments about our future operating results. Our
ability to realize the deferred tax assets depends on our future taxable income as well as limitations on their utilization. A deferred tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized prior to its expiration. The projections of our operating results on which the establishment of a valuation allowance is based involve significant estimates regarding future demand for our products,
competitive conditions, product development efforts, approvals of regulatory agencies, and product cost. If actual results differ from these projections, or if our expectations of future results change, it may be necessary to adjust the valuation
allowance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Accounting for Business Combination&#151; </I></B>In accounting for business combinations, we apply the accounting
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;141, &#147;Business Combinations&#148;, which requires the recording of net assets of acquired businesses at fair value. In developing estimates of the fair value of acquired
assets and assumed liabilities, we analyze a variety of factors including market data, estimated future cash flows of the acquired operations, industry growth rates, current replacement costs, and market rate assumptions for contractual obligations.
This valuation requires significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the valuation of intangible assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Recent Accounting

SFAS&nbsp;141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest;
recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements&nbsp;&#151; an amendment of ARB No.&nbsp;51 ("SFAS&nbsp;160"). SFAS&nbsp;160 establishes new
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the
consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS&nbsp;160 clarifies
that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains it controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain
or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS&nbsp;160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements
regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS&nbsp;160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We do
not believe the adoption of SFAS 160 will have any impact on our consolidated financial statements as we have a 100% controlling interest in our subsidiary </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

("EITF") Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," which requires vested stock options held by certain non-employee consultants to be accounted for as
liabilities until these awards are exercised or forfeited. The fair value of these awards is remeasured at each financial statement date until the awards are settled or expire. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, $227,421 of expense was
recorded based on the remeasurement of these options. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007, stock options to acquire 83,735 shares of common stock held by non-employee consultants remained unexercised and a liability of $660,827 at December&nbsp;31, 2007 is
included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. We are exposed to the volatility of the market price of our stock. If the market price of our stock increased by $1 as of December 31, 2007, we would have recorded
approximately $71,000 in additional expense related to these awards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are exposed to various market risks, which include potential
losses arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign exchange fluctuations and changes in interest rates. For the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 and December&nbsp;31, 2006, products sold by AtriCure Europe B.V.
accounted for 7.1% and 4.8%, respectively, of our total revenues. Since such revenues were primarily denominated in Euros, we have exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar. To date, the effect of the foreign
exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results has not been significant. In 2007, we recorded foreign currency transaction gains of $246,562 in connection with partial settlements of its intercompany payable balance with its subsidiary. For
revenues denominated in Euros, if there is an increase in the rate at which Euros are exchanged for U.S. Dollars, it will require more Euros to equal a specified amount of U.S. Dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, and if we price
our products in Euros, we will receive less in U.S. Dollars than we did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. Dollars and competitors price their products in Euros, an increase in the relative strength of the
U.S.&nbsp;Dollar could result in our price not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in Euros. The Euro to U.S. dollar conversion rate fluctuations may impact our reported revenues and expenses. </FONT></P> <P

things, changes in interest rates, credit quality and general volatility. We manage this risk by investing in high quality investment grade securities with very short-term maturities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Nature of the Business&#151;</I></B>AtriCure, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October&nbsp;31, 2000, as a spin-off of Enable Medical Corporation, to focus on the
surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (&#147;AF&#148;) is a rapid, irregular quivering of the upper chambers of the heart. The Company sells its medical devices to hospitals and medical clinics both in the United States and
internationally. International sales were $6.6 million $4.2 million, and $2.7 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B><I>Principles of Consolidation&#151;</I></B>The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and AtriCure Europe B.V., the Company&#146;s wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in the Netherlands. Intercompany
accounts and transactions are eliminated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Cash and Cash Equivalents&#151;</I></B>The Company considers highly liquid investments
with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition as cash equivalents in the accompanying financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B><I>Short-Term Investments&#151;</I></B>The Company places its investments primarily in U.S. Government securities, corporate notes, corporate bonds, medium term notes and commercial paper. The Company classifies all investments as
available-for-sale. Such investments are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate component of stockholders&#146; equity. The Company recognizes gains and losses when these securities are sold using the
specific identification method. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Revenue Recognition&#151;</I></B>Revenues are generated primarily from the sale of the
Company&#146;s disposable surgical devices. Pursuant to the Company&#146;s standard terms of sale, revenues are recognized when title to the goods and risk of loss transfers to customers and there are no remaining obligations that will affect the
customers&#146; final acceptance of the sale. Generally, the Company&#146;s standard terms of sale define the transfer of title and risk of loss to occur upon shipment to the respective customer. The Company generally does not maintain any
post-shipping obligations to the recipients of the products. No installation, calibration or testing of this equipment is performed by the Company subsequent to shipment to the customer in order to render it operational. Product revenues includes
shipping revenues of approximately $468,000, $241,000, and $141,000 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Cost of freight for shipments made to customers is included in cost of revenues. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to
governmental authorities are excluded from product revenues. The Company sells its products primarily through a direct sales force and through AtriCure Europe B.V. Terms of sale are generally consistent for both end-users and distributors and
payment terms are generally net 30 days. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company complies with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) Staff
Accounting Bulletin No.&nbsp;101, &#147;Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements&#148; (&#147;SAB 101&#148;), as amended by SAB 104. SAB 101 sets forth guidelines on the timing of revenue recognition based upon factors such as passage of title,
installation, payment terms and ability to return products. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (i)&nbsp;persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii)&nbsp;delivery of the products and/or services has
occurred; (iii)&nbsp;the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv)&nbsp;collectibility is reasonably assured. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Sales Returns
and Allowances</I></B><B>&#151;</B>The Company maintains a provision for sales returns and allowances as a result of defective or damaged products or when price reductions are given to customers. In 2006 and 2005, there was not a provision for sales
returns and allowances due limited returns and insignificant allowances. In 2007 the provision was reviewed periodically and estimated based primarily on a specific identification basis. Increases to the provision results in a reduction of revenue.

factors. Increases to the allowance for doubtful accounts results in a corresponding expense. Periodically, the Company reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables
against the allowance when all attempts to collect the receivable have failed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Inventories&#151;</I></B>Inventories are stated at
the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (&#147;FIFO&#148;) cost method and consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Reserves are estimated for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory as well as inventory
with a carrying value in excess of its net realizable value. Write-offs are recorded when a product is destroyed. The Company reviews inventory on hand at least quarterly and records provisions for excess and obsolete inventory based on several
factors including current assessment of future product demand, anticipated release of new products into the market, historical experience and product expiration. The Company&#146;s industry is characterized by rapid product development and frequent
new product introductions. Uncertain timing of product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all impact the estimates related to excess and obsolete inventory. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Property and Equipment&#151;</I></B>Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life by major asset category is the following: machinery and equipment is three to seven years, computer and equipment is three
years, furniture and fixtures is three to seven years, and leasehold improvements is the shorter of their useful life or remaining lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Included in Property and Equipment are generators and other capital equipment (such as our ASB, or switch box) that are loaned at no cost to medical
providers who use the Company&#146;s product. These generators and cryo-units are depreciated over three years and such depreciation is included in cost of revenues. The total of such depreciation was approximately $802,000, $681,000, and $777,000
in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Other than Goodwill)&#151; </I></B>The Company reviews
property and equipment and definite-lived intangibles for impairment using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;)
No.&nbsp;144, &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#148; In 2007, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $91,000 for the impairment of obsolete machinery and equipment and tooling. In 2005, the Company
recorded a charge of approximately $266,000 for the impairment of certain obsolete tooling equipment. The Company did not recognize any impairment of property and equipment in 2006. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Goodwill and Intangible Assets&#151;</I></B>As of December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company had $6.8 million in goodwill, which represents the excess of
costs over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or if impairment indicators are present, to determine if the fair value of the business
can support the amount of goodwill. The goodwill tests include discounted cash flow models and a market valuation approach. The discounted cash flow models include assumptions about future market conditions and operating results. If an impairment
test indicates the fair value cannot support the amount of goodwill recorded, the Company will be required to record a goodwill impairment charge. As a result, the value of the assets could be significantly reduced, which would increase operating
expenses and reduce net income for the period in which the charge occurs. As of December&nbsp;31, 2007 there was no indication that an impairment that existed, and the Company did not recognize any impairment during 2007, 2006 or 2005. </FONT></P>

liability method, under which deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company&#146;s assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are measured using provisions of
currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be fully realized. Tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income taxes in the year in which
the credit originates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s estimate for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires it to make significant
estimates and judgments about its future operating results. The Company&#146;s ability to realize the deferred tax assets depends on its future taxable income as well as limitations on their utilization. A deferred tax asset is reduced by a
valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized prior to its expiration. The projections of the Company&#146;s operating results on which the establishment of a valuation
allowance is based involve significant estimates regarding future demand for the Company&#146;s products, competitive conditions, product development efforts, approvals of regulatory agencies, and product cost. If actual results differ from these
projections, or if the Company&#146;s expectations of future results change, it may be necessary to adjust the valuation allowance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B><I>Loss Per Share&#151;</I></B>Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Since the Company has
experienced net losses for all periods presented, net loss per share excludes the effect of 2,296,035, 1,906,928, and 1,863,353 options and warrants in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, because such options and warrants are anti-dilutive.
Therefore the number of shares calculated for basic net loss per share is also used for the diluted net loss per share calculation. All share and per share amounts reflect the 1-for-3.8 reverse stock split that was effected on July&nbsp;27, 2005.

purchase price of $3,758,641. Of the purchase price $3,244,244 was paid in cash at closing, funded from cash on-hand, and $417,292 is payable under an unsecured promissory note, which was paid in full in January 2008 following the completion by
Cooper of specified manufacturing services and delivery to AtriCure of all remaining tangible assets acquired under the Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement. The acquisition complements the Company&#146;s existing open-heart product offering. The
preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $2,922,422, which is deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets acquired were $320,000, consisting of $220,000 for use of a trade name and $100,000 related to a non-compete
arrangement. The Company also incurred legal and professional expenses associated with the acquisition of $97,105. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The preliminary

the underwriters&#146; exercise of their over-allotment option on August&nbsp;9, 2005 to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, of which 450,000 shares were sold by selling stockholders and 150,000 shares were sold by the
Company. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the 450,000 shares of common stock that were sold by selling stockholders. These share amounts reflect a 1-for-3.8 reverse split of the capital stock that was affected on
July&nbsp;27, 2005. In connection with the offering, all of the 6,012,020 outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into 6,012,020 shares of common stock. Proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts,
commissions and offering expenses, were $43.2 million and offering expenses were $3.1 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

consultants to be accounted for as liability awards until these awards are exercised or forfeited. The fair value of these awards is remeasured at each financial statement date until the awards are settled or expire. During the year ended

unexercised and a liability of $660,827 was included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effect on years prior to fiscal 2007 was not material. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's forms and rules, and the material information relating to the Company is

of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company will be detected. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override. Over time, controls can become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. Further, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon
assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any cost-effective control system,
misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Management&#146;s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting </B>

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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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)&nbsp;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. The Company&#146;s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. In making this assessment, the Company&#146;s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in <I>Internal Control-Integrated
Framework</I>. Based on such assessment, management has concluded that the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P
