Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) for a fair statement of the financial information contained therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (the “Company” or “AMO”) for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

All material intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and related disclosures. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value within generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. Although SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, its application may, in certain instances, change current practice. Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies fair value related guidance previously issued within GAAP. The Company has adopted FASB Staff Position 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), issued February 2008, and as a result the Company has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 that are applicable as of January 1, 2008, which had no material effect on its consolidated financial statements. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009. See Note 5 for the interim disclosures required by SFAS No. 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008, which did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”), and SFAS No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). These new standards will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company January 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard but currently does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements as a result of the implementation of SFAS No. 161.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. 142-3”). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used in estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and

Table of Contents

Other Intangible Assets.” This standard is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141R and other GAAP. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The measurement provisions of this standard will apply only to intangible assets of the Company acquired after January 1, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s related amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from auditing standards.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP No. APB 14-1”). FSP No. APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133. FSP No. APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP No. APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP No. APB 14-1 shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on periods prior to those presented shall be recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented. An offsetting adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, presented separately. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Restructuring Plan

After its acquisition of IntraLase Corp. (“IntraLase”) in the second quarter of 2007, the Company continued femtosecond laser manufacturing operations in Irvine, California (the “Irvine Plant”). As part of the overall integration of IntraLase, on December 13, 2007, AMO management committed to a plan to relocate the femtosecond laser manufacturing operations from the Irvine Plant to its excimer laser and phacoemulsification manufacturing facility in Milpitas, California (the “Milpitas Plant”), in order to consolidate equipment manufacturing in one location and to maximize opportunities to leverage core strengths. Also included was the movement of the assembly of IntraLase disposable patient interfaces from the Irvine Plant to AMO’s facility in Puerto Rico in order to obtain additional synergies.

As a continuation of AMO’s commitment to further enhance its global competitiveness, operating leverage and cash flow, the Board of Directors of AMO on February 12, 2008 approved an additional plan to reduce the Company’s fixed costs. The additional plan includes a net workforce reduction of approximately 150 positions, or about 4% of the Company’s global workforce. In addition, AMO plans to consolidate certain operations, including the relocation of all remaining activities at the Irvine Plant, to improve its overall facility utilization.

These plans include workforce reductions and transfers, outplacement assistance, relocation of certain employees, facilities-related costs, and accelerated amortization of certain long-lived assets and termination of redundant supplier contracts. These plans will also result in start-up costs such as expenses for moving, incremental travel, recruiting and duplicate personnel associated with hiring staff during ramp-up, as well as incremental costs associated with capacity underutilization of the Milpitas Plant during the ramp-up period.

AMO expects to complete these activities in 2008 and estimates the total pre-tax charges resulting from these plans to be in the range of $36 million to $43 million, substantially all of which are expected to be cash expenditures. The Company incurred severance and retention bonus charges of $0.4 million under the plan in 2007. An estimated breakdown of the total charges is as follows:

 

Severance, retention bonuses, employee relocation and other one-time termination benefits

   $20 million -$24 million

Facilities related and other costs

   $10 million -$13 million

Termination of redundant supplier contracts and relocation of equipment and inventory

   $2 million

Incremental costs for transition and start-up activities at the Milpitas Plant

   $4 million

In the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, the Company incurred $9.1 million and $21.1 million, respectively, of pre-tax charges which comprised severance, retention bonuses and other one-time termination benefits of $9.1 million and $20.5 million, in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, and facilities related costs of $0.6 million. In addition, the Company incurred a $1.8 million charge associated with accelerated depreciation relating to the restructuring, which is included in the selling, general and administrative expenses.

All of the convertible notes issued by the Company may be converted, at the option of the holders, on or prior to the final maturity date under certain circumstances, none of which had occurred as of June 27, 2008. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, the Company will satisfy in cash the conversion obligation with respect to the principal amount of the convertible notes, with any remaining amount of the conversion obligation to be satisfied in shares of common stock. As a result of this election, the Company also is required to satisfy in cash its obligations to repurchase any convertible notes that holders may put to the Company on the respective dates noted in the table above.

The Company has a $300 million revolving line of credit maturing April 2, 2013 and a $450 million term loan maturing on April 2, 2014 (collectively the “Credit Facility”). As of June 27, 2008, the revolving line of credit included outstanding cash borrowings of $15.0 million and commitments to support letters of credit totaling $8.8 million issued on behalf of the Company for normal operating purposes which resulted in an available balance of $276.2 million.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility, if any, bear interest at current market rates plus a margin based upon the Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined. The incremental interest margin on borrowings under the Credit Facility decreases as the Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA decreases to specified levels. During the second quarter of 2008, this interest margin was 1.75% over the applicable LIBOR rate. Additionally, the Company can borrow at the prevailing prime rate of interest plus an interest margin of 0.75%. The average annual rate of interest during the second quarter of 2008, inclusive of incremental margin, was 4.88% and 5.22% for the revolving credit facility and term loan, respectively. Under the Credit Facility, certain transactions may trigger mandatory prepayment of borrowings. Such transactions may include equity or debt offerings, certain asset sales and extraordinary receipts. The Company pays a quarterly fee (1.95% per annum at June 27, 2008) on the average balance of outstanding letters of credit and a quarterly commitment fee (0.50% per annum at June 27, 2008) on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility. In addition, the Company makes mandatory quarterly amortization payments (1.0% per annum at June 27, 2008) on the outstanding balance of the term loan. The revolver component of the Credit Facility provides that the Company will maintain certain financial and operating covenants which include, among other provisions, maintaining specific leverage and interest coverage ratios. Certain covenants under the revolving credit facility may limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The revolving credit facility prohibits dividend payments by the Company. On October 5, 2007, as a result of the product recall in May 2007 discussed in Note 10, the

Company amended the Credit Facility. The amendment changed the Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for certain quarterly periods. Additionally, for purposes of calculating this ratio as well as the Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, the Company was permitted to exclude certain recall-related costs and other related impacts. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 27, 2008. The Credit Facility is collateralized by a first priority perfected lien on, and pledge of, all of the Company’s present and future property and assets (subject to certain exclusions), 100% of the stock of the domestic subsidiaries, 66% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries and all present and future intercompany debts.

On July 30, 2008, as a result of the anticipated effects to the LASIK business of the slowing U.S. economy, the Company amended the Credit Facility. The amendment changed the Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for certain quarterly periods.

As of June 27, 2008, the aggregate maturities of total long-term debt of $1.5 billion are due after 2012.

Guarantor Subsidiaries

In connection with the issuance of the 7 1/ 2% Notes, certain of the Company’s 100%-owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) jointly, fully, severally and unconditionally guaranteed such 7 1/2% Notes. Each subsidiary is 100%-owned by the parent company issuer. The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:

 

  i. Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;

 

  ii. Guarantor Subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the Indenture;

 

  iii. Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the Indenture;

 

  iv. Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions and balances between or among the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the Parent Company’s investments in the subsidiaries and (c) record consolidating entries; and

 

  v. Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. and subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Net earnings for the three and six months ended June 29, 2007 under the Parent and Consolidating Entries and Eliminations columns reflect the correction of an immaterial error which did not have an impact on the consolidated net earnings as previously reported.

Note 5: Fair Value Measurement

The Company enters into foreign exchange option and forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes to allow management to focus its attention on its core business operations. Accordingly, the Company enters into contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to economically offset the effect of changes in foreign currency on the Company’s assets and liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and operating expenses. The Company enters into foreign exchange option and forward contracts in amounts between minimum and maximum anticipated foreign exchange exposures, generally for periods not to exceed one year. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges. The Company does not enter into speculative derivative transactions.

The Company uses foreign currency option contracts, which provide for the sale of foreign currencies to offset foreign currency exposures expected to arise in the normal course of the Company’s business. While these instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, such fluctuations are anticipated to offset changes in the value of the underlying exposures. The principal currencies subject to this process are the Japanese yen and the euro. The foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to protect the value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and the changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts are economically designed to offset the changes in the revaluation of the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These forward contracts are denominated in currencies that represent material exposures. The changes in the fair value of foreign currency option and forward contracts are recorded through earnings as “Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments,” while any realized gains or losses on expired contracts are recorded through earnings as “Other, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any premium cost of purchased foreign exchange option contracts are recorded in “Other current assets” and amortized over the life of the options.

As described in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques described in SFAS No. 157. Valuation techniques utilized for each individual asset and liability category are referenced in the tables below. Where more than one technique is noted, individual assets or liabilities were valued using multiple techniques. The valuation techniques are as follows:

 

  (a) Market approach – Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;

 

  (b) Income approach – Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models);

 

  (c) Cost approach – Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 27, 2008 on a recurring basis are as follows:

There were no changes in the valuation techniques used to measure asset or liability fair values on a recurring basis in the six months ended June 27, 2008.

Note 6: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting net earnings and the weighted average outstanding shares, assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive convertible securities, stock options and stock purchase plan awards.

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, the Company included the dilutive effect of stock options, Employee Stock Purchase Plans (“ESPP”) and unvested restricted stock of approximately 1.9 million shares and 1.8 million shares, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, there were 5.3 million and 5.4 million antidilutive stock options excluded from the computation of dilutive shares outstanding, respectively. The three and six months ended June 29, 2007 exclude the aggregate dilutive effect of approximately 1.6 million and 1.4 million shares, respectively, for stock options, ESPP and unvested restricted stock as the effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss in each of these periods. There were no potentially diluted common shares associated with the 2  1/2% Notes, 1.375% Notes and the 3.25% Notes as the Company’s quarter-end stock price was less than the conversion prices of the notes.

Note 7: Common Stock

AMO has an Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”) and a Stock Incentive Plan (“SIP”) that provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors, employees and consultants. The Company has two ESPPs for United States and international employees, respectively, which allow employees to purchase AMO common stock. A total of 5 million shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the ICP and approximately 2 million shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the SIP after April 2, 2007, the date the SIP was assumed following the IntraLase acquisition.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Total share-based compensation expense included in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007 was as follows (in thousands):

Approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million of pre-tax share-based compensation expense was included in restructuring charges in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 due to acceleration of vesting, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options granted to employees are exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant and generally vest at a rate of 25% per year beginning twelve months after the date of grant. Grants under these plans expire ten years from the date of grant.

The Company issues new shares to satisfy option exercises.

Note 9: Business Segment Information

The operating segments are segments for which separate financial information is available and upon which operating results are evaluated on a timely basis to assess performance and to allocate resources.

The Company’s reportable segments reflect the way it currently manages its business. These reportable segments are represented by three business units: cataract, refractive and eye care. The cataract business sells monofocal intraocular lenses (“monofocal IOLs”), phacoemulsification systems, viscoelastics and related products used in ocular surgery. The refractive business sells and provides service for wavefront diagnostic devices, femtosecond lasers and associated patient interface devices, excimer laser systems and treatment cards, and refractive implants. The eye care business sells disinfecting solutions, enzymatic cleaners, lens rewetting drops and artificial tears. Effective January 1, 2008, net sales of refractive implant products and the related impact on operating income are reported in the refractive business segment. Prior to 2008, refractive implant products were included in the cataract business segment. Accordingly, net sales and the impact on operating income attributable to refractive implant products in the three and six months ended June 29, 2007 have been reclassified from the cataract to refractive business segments to conform to the new presentation.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating income, excluding certain costs such as business repositioning and restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs and stock-based compensation expense. Research and development costs, manufacturing operations and related variances, inventory provision/repricing costs and supply chain costs are managed on a global basis and are considered corporate costs. The Company presents segment information which management believes is determined in accordance with measurement principles that are consistent with those used in the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Because operating segments are generally defined by the products each segment manufactures and sells, they do not generally make sales to each other. Depreciation and amortization related to the manufacturing of goods, excluding amortization of intangible assets, is included in the operating income of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does the Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.

The United States information is presented separately as it is the Company’s headquarters country, and U.S. sales represented 35.6% and 38.2% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, and 45.1% and 44.4% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 29, 2007, respectively. Additionally, sales in Japan represented 15.0% and 14.5% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, and 11.4% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 29, 2007. No other country, or single customer, generated over 10% of total net sales in the periods presented.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies

Product Recall

In May 2007, the Company initiated a global recall of the Complete MoisturePlus multipurpose formulation (the “2007 Recall”) after being informed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an association with acanthamoeba keratitis. The 2007 Recall resulted in the following charges during the year ended December 31, 2007: a provision for sales returns of $41.5 million and charges totaling $67.5 million, which comprised $37.5 million in costs of goods sold for impairment of inventory and distribution costs, $29.7 million in selling, general and administrative costs associated with public relations, communication, investigation, processing and handling of distributor and end-customer reimbursements and $0.3 million in research and development costs. As of June 27, 2008, the Company had approximately $2.9 million in accrued liabilities and $1.2 million in accrued sales returns associated with the 2007 Recall.

Management continues to review its estimates of the overall recall costs, which could result in additional charges in the future.

On August 24, 2007 and September 13, 2007, two purported class action complaints were filed by Scott Kairalla and Barry Galison (the “Galison case”), respectively, in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of our securities between January 4 and May 25, 2007. The Galison case was dismissed without prejudice on November 20, 2007. An amended consolidated complaint was filed on January 18, 2008 (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint alleges claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The Consolidated Complaint alleges that the Company made material misrepresentations concerning the Company’s Complete MoisturePlus product. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on February 29, 2008 on behalf of all defendants. On June 6, 2008, the Court granted AMO’s motion, dismissed the Consolidated Complaint without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to amend on or before July 7, 2008. Rather than file an amended complaint, Plaintiffs agreed to voluntarily dismiss the Consolidated Complaint and the case was dismissed with prejudice on July 11, 2008.

As of June 27, 2008, the Company has been served or is aware that it has been named as a defendant in approximately 116 product liability lawsuits pending in various state and federal courts within the U.S. as well as certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. in relation to the 2007 Recall. These suits involve allegations of personal injury to 148 consumers. Of these 116 cases, 101 have been filed in various U.S. courts, 12 in Canada and three in jurisdictions outside North America. None of the U.S. personal injury actions have been filed as purported class actions; however, nine of the Canadian personal injury matters seek class action status. In addition to personal injury suits, three U.S. and four Canadian matters have been filed as purported class actions by uninjured consumers seeking reimbursement for discarded product pursuant to various consumer protection statutes.

These cases involve complex medical and scientific issues relating to both liability and damages and are currently at an early stage. Moreover, most of the plaintiffs seek unspecified damages. Because of this, and because these types of suits are inherently unpredictable, the Company is unable at this time to predict the outcome of these matters. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters; however, the Company could in future periods enter into settlements or incur judgments that, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any such period.

On June 23, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Alcon, Inc. relating to lubricious coatings for intraocular lens (“IOL”) inserters and one-piece IOL haptic designs. Under the agreement, Alcon has freedom to operate under AMO’s U.S. Patent Nos. 5,803,925, entitled “IOL Insertion Apparatus with Covalently Bonded Lubricant,” and 5,716,364, entitled “IOL Insertion Apparatus and Method for Making and Using Same,” and related foreign patents. Under the agreement, AMO has freedom to operate under Alcon’s U.S. Patent No. 5,716,403, entitled “Single Piece Foldable Intraocular Lens,” and related foreign patents, in so far as they relate to the design of AMO’s newly-launched Tecnis® One-Piece Intraocular Lens. As part of this agreement, Alcon made a payment to AMO of $31 million and AMO made a payment to Alcon of $10 million. AMO received the net cash proceeds of $21 million in the second quarter of 2008.

While the Company is involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims, the Company is not currently aware of any other actions against it or Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”) relating to the optical medical device business that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company may be subject to future litigation and infringement claims, which could cause it to incur significant expenses or prevent it from selling its products. The Company operates in an industry susceptible to significant product liability claims. Product liability claims may be asserted against it in the future arising out of the 2007 Recall and/or events not known to it at the present time. Under the terms of the contribution and distribution agreement affecting the Company’s spin-off from Allergan. Allergan agreed to assume responsibility for, and to indemnify it against, all current and future litigation relating to its retained businesses and the Company agreed to assume responsibility for, and to indemnify Allergan against, all current and future litigation related to the optical medical device business.

ADVANCED MEDICAL OPTICS, INC.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended June 27, 2008

The following discussion and analysis presents the factors that had a material effect on AMO’s cash flows and results of operations during the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, and the Company’s financial position at that date. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the subsection entitled “Certain Factors and Trends Affecting AMO and Its Businesses.” The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2007 Form 10-K and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

We are a global leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of medical devices for the eye. AMO is focused on providing the full range of advanced refractive technologies and support to help eye care professionals deliver optimal vision and lifestyle experiences to patients of all ages. Our reportable segments are represented by our three business units: cataract, refractive and eye care. Our cataract business sells monofocal intraocular lenses (“monofocal IOLs”), phacoemulsification systems, viscoelastics and related products used in ocular surgery. Our refractive business sells and provides service for wavefront diagnostic devices, femtosecond lasers and associated patient interface devices, excimer laser systems and treatment cards, and refractive implants. Our eye care business sells disinfecting solutions, enzymatic cleaners, lens rewetting drops and artificial tears.

We have operations in approximately 27 countries and sell our products in approximately 60 countries within the following four region structure:

 

   

Americas (North and South America);

 

   

Europe, Africa and Middle East;

 

   

Japan; and

 

   

Asia Pacific (excluding Japan, but including Australia and New Zealand).

Restructuring Plan

After our acquisition of IntraLase Corp. in the second quarter of 2007, we continued femtosecond laser manufacturing operations in Irvine, California (Irvine Plant). As part of the overall integration of IntraLase, on December 13, 2007, we committed to a plan to relocate the femtosecond laser manufacturing operations from the Irvine Plant to our excimer laser and phacoemulsification manufacturing facility in Milpitas, California (Milpitas Plant), in order to consolidate equipment manufacturing in one location and to maximize opportunities to leverage core strengths. We also intend to move the assembly of IntraLase disposable patient interfaces from the Irvine Plant to our facility in Puerto Rico in order to obtain additional synergies.

As a continuation of our commitment to further enhance our global competitiveness, operating leverage and cash flow, our Board of Directors on February 12, 2008 approved an additional plan to reduce our fixed costs. The additional plan includes a net workforce reduction of approximately 150 positions, or about 4% of our global workforce. In addition, we plan to consolidate certain operations, including the relocation of all non-manufacturing related activities at the Irvine Plant, to improve our overall facility utilization.

These plans include workforce reductions and transfers, outplacement assistance, relocation of certain employees, facilities-related costs, and accelerated amortization of certain long-lived assets and termination of redundant supplier contracts. These plans will also result in start-up costs such as expenses for moving, incremental travel, recruiting and duplicate personnel associated with hiring staff during ramp-up, as well as incremental costs associated with capacity underutilization of the Milpitas Plant during the ramp-up period.

We currently expect to complete these activities in 2008 and estimate the total pre-tax charges resulting from these plans to be in the range of $36 million to $43 million, substantially all of which are expected to be cash expenditures. In the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, we incurred $9.1 million and $21.1 million, respectively, of pre-tax charges which comprised severance, retention bonuses and other one-time termination benefits of $9.1 million and $20.5 million, in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, and facilities related costs of $0.6 million. In addition, we incurred a $1.8 million charge associated with accelerated depreciation relating to the restructuring, which is included in the selling, general and administrative expenses. Cumulative charges from plan inception through June 27, 2008 were $21.5 million.

Expected annualized cost savings from these restructuring actions are expected to range from $12 million to $16 million. Actual cost savings could be significantly different from the estimated range if any unforeseen events or changes occur.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies as more fully described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Management believes that at June 27, 2008 there has been no material change to this information.

Net sales. Total net sales increased 22.6% and 21.7% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The increases in net sales in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 resulted from higher net sales in all of our operating segments. Net sales also include a favorable foreign currency impact of 7.2% and 6.8% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively. Our sales and earnings may be favorably impacted during times of a weakening U.S. dollar. Sales in the U.S. represented 35.6% and 38.2% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively. Additionally, sales in Japan represented 15.0% and 14.5% of total net sales in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively. No other country, or single customer, generated over 10% of total net sales in the periods presented.

Net sales from our Cataract business increased by 14.9% and 11.7% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. The increases in net sales were the result of strong performance in all product categories both domestically and internationally. Total IOL sales increased by 15.6% and 9.9% to $77.3 million and $142.7 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year, driven by our proprietary Tecnis line of aspheric monofocal IOLs, including Tecnis 1-piece, our first single piece acrylic IOL offering. Net sales from viscoelastics and phacoemulsification systems were up 15.5% and 15.2% to $62.3 million and $117.1 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year, due to our new WhiteStar Signature system and continued growth of our Sovereign Compact phacoemulsification systems and increases in surgical pack sales.

Cataract net sales growth in the U.S. of 4.1% and 3.4% and in the Other Americas of 14.7% and 14.3% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, was due to strong demand for our core products, partially offset by decreases in sales of older-technology intraocular lenses and viscoelastics. Sales in Europe/Africa/Middle East increased by 20.0% and 14.9% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, primarily due to continued strong IOL sales driven by

our proprietary Tecnis line of aspheric monofocal IOLs. Sales in Japan increased by 21.0% and 19.8% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively. Sales in Asia Pacific increased by 18.0% and 10.4% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. The increases reflect growth for all product lines. Net sales in our Cataract business reflect a favorable foreign currency impact of 8.8% and 8.5% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, largely from fluctuations of the yen and the euro versus the U.S. dollar.

Net sales from our Refractive business increased by 1.5% to $118.3 million in the three months ended June 27, 2008, compared with the same period last year. The increase primarily reflects the increase in femtosecond procedure volumes, partially offset by a $3.0 million decline in sales of refractive implants and a decline in excimer procedure revenues associated with economic weakness affecting United States excimer procedure volumes, which were down about 20%. We expect U.S. procedures to continue to be impacted throughout 2008. An acceleration of this decline in the U.S. or globally would have a material adverse impact on our revenue and financial condition. Net sales from our Refractive business increased by 23.0% to $238.8 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008, compared with the same period last year. The increase primarily reflects the addition of $52.0 million in sales in the first quarter of 2008 from the April 2, 2007 acquisition of IntraLase and increases in femtosecond procedure volumes, partially offset by a $4.9 million decline in sales of refractive implants and the decline in sales of excimer procedure volumes discussed above. Net sales decreased in the U.S. and Other Americas by 19.1% and 3.6% in the three months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year, due to lower excimer laser procedure volume. Net sales increased in the U.S. and Other Americas by 0.9% and 29.6% in the six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same period last year, due to a favorable shift toward CustomVue procedures. Net sales in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 increased in Europe/Africa/Middle East, Japan and Asia Pacific, as a result of our international expansion strategy for the Refractive business. Net sales in our Refractive business reflect a favorable foreign currency impact of 2.6% and 2.7% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, largely from fluctuations of the yen and the euro versus the U.S. dollar.

Net sales from our Eye Care business increased by 202.8% and 48.9% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. The increase in net sales reflects our continued recovery from the 2007 Recall with renewed sales of our multipurpose solutions, growing demand for our newly launched line of over-the-counter dry eye products sold under the blink® Tears brand and increased sales of hydrogen peroxide-based products, principally in Europe and Japan. Net sales increased significantly in every region in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, compared with the same periods last year, primarily as a result of higher multipurpose solutions sales attributable to the recovery from the 2007 Recall. Additionally, net sales in the U.S. and Europe benefitted from growing demand for our newly launched over-the-counter dry eye product. Net sales in our Eye Care business included a favorable foreign currency impact of 24.5% and 11.8% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, largely resulting from fluctuations of the yen and the euro versus the U.S. dollar.

Gross margin and gross profit. Our gross margin percentage was 61.5% and 61.7% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with 48.9% and 55.6% in the same periods last year. Gross profit for the three months ended June 29, 2007 included a $50.9 million negative impact from the 2007 Recall associated with sales returns and other recall-related costs and a $7.7 million non-cash charge for the step-up of inventory to fair value in connection with the IntraLase acquisition. In addition to these items in the second quarter, gross profit for the six months ended June 29, 2007 also included a $2.3 million negative impact from the China 2006 Eye Care recall and a $4.7 million charge to discontinue the Amadeus microkeratome distributor agreement in the first quarter of 2007.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased as a percent of net sales by 16.4 percentage points to 40.9%, and by 9.2 percentage points to 41.3% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. These decreases in both periods are net of a $1.8 million charge for accelerated depreciation of the former IntraLase headquarters building we are now exiting as part of our restructuring initiative. SG&A expenses include a $7.5 million charge in the three months ended June 29, 2007 for recall-related expenses. SG&A expenses in 2007 also include ongoing operating costs from the acquisitions of IntraLase and WaveFront Sciences, Inc. (“WFSI”). These include incremental amortization expense of $6.8 million and integration-related costs of $6.5 million that were recognized from the IntraLase acquisition. Also, in connection with a proposal in July 2007 to acquire another company in the ophthalmic segment, we recognized $8.0 million in deal-related expenses for costs through that time. We withdrew the proposal in August 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 29, 2007 also included $2.1 million in China 2006 Eye Care recall-related costs in the first quarter of 2007. The overall increases also reflect our focus on being the “Complete Refractive Solution” to differentiate us from other market participants as we combine our refractive offering, expertise and service capabilities, as well as continuing our Refractive international expansion.

Research and development. Research and development expenditures decreased as a percent of net sales by 1.8 percentage points to 6.1%, and by 1.5 percentage point to 6.3% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. The decrease was due to the planned synergies following the

IntraLase integration. In 2007, research and development as a percentage of sales reflected a loss in sales as a result of the 2007 Recall. We also recognized an impairment charge of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 in connection with a research and development licensing agreement. Our research and development strategy is to develop proprietary products for vision correction that are safe and effective and address unmet needs. We are currently focusing on new advancements that will build on our Tecnis, Healon and phacoemulsification technologies, corneal and lens-based solutions to presbyopia, projects from the acquisitions of WFSI and IntraLase, and additional multipurpose solutions and dry eye products.

In-process research and development. In the six months ended June 29, 2007, we recorded an $87.0 million in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) charge from the IntraLase and WFSI acquisitions. This charge represented the estimated fair value of projects that, as of the acquisition date, had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use.

Restructuring charges. In the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, we incurred $9.1 million and $21.1 million of pre-tax charges, respectively, which comprised severance, retention bonuses and other one-time termination benefits of $9.1 million and $20.5 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, and facilities related costs of $0.6 million.

Net gain on legal contingencies. We recognized a net gain on legal contingencies of $20.5 million, net of legal costs incurred, in the second quarter of 2008 from the execution of an agreement with Alcon, Inc. As part of the agreement, Alcon made a payment of $31 million to us and we made a payment to Alcon of $10 million. We received the net cash proceeds of $21 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Operating Income (Loss). Operating income as a percentage of net sales, or operating margin, was 18.1% and 14.0% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively. Operating income of $58.1 million in the three months ended June 27, 2008 includes $20.5 million net gain on legal contingencies discussed above, $9.1 million in restructuring charges, a $1.8 million charge for accelerated depreciation of leasehold improvements related to the restructuring, $17.2 million of intangible amortization and $6.2 million in share-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R. The net impact from these items reduced operating margin by 4.3 percentage points in the three months ended June 27, 2008. Operating income of $87.5 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008 includes $20.5 million net gain on legal contingencies, $21.1 million in restructuring charges, a $1.8 million charge for accelerated depreciation of leasehold improvements related to the restructuring, $34.3 million of intangible amortization and $11.3 million in share-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R. The net impact from these items reduced operating margin by 7.7 percentage points in the six months ended June 27, 2008.

Operating loss as a percentage of net sales, or operating margin, was 48.9% and 19.6% in the three and six months ended June 29, 2007, respectively. Operating loss of $127.9 million in the three months ended June 29, 2007 includes $99.6 million of IntraLase acquisition-related charges which comprised $85.4 million for IPR&D, $7.7 million for the step-up of inventory to fair value and $6.5 million for integration-related costs. The negative impact on operating loss from the 2007 Recall was $58.4 million in the three months ended June 29, 2007. We also recognized $8.0 million in connection with the proposal to acquire another company in the ophthalmic segment in the three months ended June 29, 2007, $16.8 million of intangible amortization and $5.1 million in share-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R. The net impact from these items reduced operating margin by 71.9 percentage points in the three months ended June 29, 2007. Operating loss of $100.6 million in the six months ended June 29, 2007 includes $99.6 million of IntraLase acquisition-related charges, $58.4 million negative impact from the 2007 Recall, $4.4 million from the China 2006 Eye Care recall in the first quarter, $26.9 million of intangible amortization, $9.8 million in share-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R, $8.0 million in connection with the proposal to acquire another company in the ophthalmic segment, $4.7 million related to the discontinuation of a distributor contract, $1.0 million impairment related to a R&D licensing agreement and $1.6 million for IPR&D related to the WFSI acquisition. These charges reduced operating margin by 41.8 percentage points in the six months ended June 29, 2007.

Operating income from our Cataract business increased by $10.1 million and $15.0 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, primarily due to the increase in net sales of IOL products, viscoelastics and phacoemulsification systems discussed above. Operating income from our Refractive business decreased by $3.4 million in the three months ended June 27, 2008, primarily due to a shift in sales mix from higher margin U.S. procedure sales to lower margin systems. Also, a shift from higher priced U.S. procedures to lower priced international procedures also contributed to this decrease. Operating income from our Refractive business increased by $22.5 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008, primarily due to impact of the IntraLase acquisition which was completed in the second quarter of 2007. Operating income from our Eye Care business increased by $46.7 million and $45.6 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, primarily due to the recovery from the 2007 Recall discussed above.

Non-operating expense. Interest expense was $18.8 million and $39.0 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared with $22.0 million and $28.2 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2007,

respectively. The decrease in the three months ended June 27, 2008 was due to lower interest rates during the quarter on variable rate borrowings. The increase in the six months ended June 27, 2008 was due to the issuance of more than $700 million in debt in April 2007 in connection with the IntraLase acquisition, partially offset by lower interest rates during the quarter on variable rate borrowings. Interest expense in the three and six months ended June 29, 2007 includes a $1.3 million deferred financing cost write-off associated with the IntraLase acquisition.

We recorded an unrealized gain on derivative instruments of $2.7 million and $0.6 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, compared to an unrealized gain on derivative instruments of $0.1 million in the three months ended June 29, 2007 and an unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $0.3 million in the six months ended June 29, 2007. We record as “unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net” the mark-to-market adjustments on the outstanding foreign currency options and forward contracts which we enter into as part of our overall risk management strategy to reduce the volatility of expected earnings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The net gain in the first six months of 2008 and 2007 were largely attributable to euro and Japanese yen instruments.

Income taxes. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $13.5 million and $17.7 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of approximately 38% for both periods. The results for the quarter ended June 27, 2008 included a benefit related to partial reversal of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credits of $0.8 million due to a favorable increase in foreign source income, a deferred tax expense of $1.0 million related to the revaluation of net deferred tax assets due to a tax rate adjustment, and an increase in interest expense for uncertain tax positions in the amount of $0.3 million. Also, the effective tax rate reflected a benefit from stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million currently being recognized under SFAS 123R at an estimated effective rate of approximately 36%. A provision with an estimated effective rate of 37% was recorded on all other pre-tax income.

Our future effective income tax rate may vary depending on our mix of domestic and international taxable income or loss and the various tax and treasury methodologies that we implement, including our policy regarding repatriation of future accumulated foreign earnings.

As of June 27, 2008, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $49.2 million and the net amount of $31.9 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. During the second quarter, the amount of uncertain tax positions increased by $1.1 million reflecting increases for ongoing issues and foreign currency translation. Accrued penalties and interest of $3.3 million (net of a tax benefit of $1.7 million) at March 28, 2008 increased to $3.6 million (net of a tax benefit of $1.8 million) at June 27, 2008.

The liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions were $48.1 million at March 28, 2008 and $46.4 million at December 31, 2007. The net amounts of $30.8 million at March 28, 2008 and $29.4 million at December 31, 2007, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The lower net amounts primarily relate to timing differences and amounts arising from past business combinations which, if recognized, would be recorded to goodwill.

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $15.4 million and $22.8 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2007, respectively, resulting in overall negative effective tax rates of 10.2% and 17.3%, respectively. The results for the quarter ended June 29, 2007 included $85.4 million of IPR&D charges related to the IntraLase acquisition for which no tax benefits were recorded and a $19.2 million deferred tax expense associated with the integration of IntraLase. The tax rates in the three months and six months ended June 29, 2007 were also negatively impacted by the 2007 Recall, including the related impact on utilization of foreign tax credits resulting in a net deferred tax expense of $21 million. The results for the six months ended June 29, 2007 included $87.0 million of IPR&D charges related to the purchase of IntraLase and WFSI and a $1.0 million write-off associated with a research and development agreement for which no tax benefits were recorded and a $19.2 million deferred tax expense associated with the integration of IntraLase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management assesses our liquidity by our ability to generate cash to fund operations. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are: funds generated by operations; levels of accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and capital expenditures; adequate lines of credit; and financial flexibility to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms. As of June 27, 2008, we had cash and equivalents of $30.5 million.

Historically, we have generated cash from operations in excess of working capital requirements, and we expect to do so in the future. Net cash provided by operating activities was $60.2 million and $48.9 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the cash outlay for restructuring actions, timing of accounts receivable collections, rate of inventory turnover, the buildup of bridging inventories to support our manufacturing move and the payment of accounts payable and other current liabilities. In addition, cash provided by operating activities includes the net cash proceeds from a gain on legal contingencies of $20.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15.0 million and $758.4 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively. Expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $11.3 million and $14.3 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively. Expenditures in the six months ended June 27, 2008 primarily comprised expenditures associated with the new Milpitas Plant and continuation of upgrades and expansion of our Eye Care facility in China. Expenditures in the six months ended June 29, 2007 primarily comprised expenditures to upgrade and expand our Eye Care manufacturing facility in China and continuation of upgrades to our manufacturing facilities in Puerto Rico and Uppsala, Sweden. Expenditures for demonstration (demo) and bundled equipment, primarily phacoemulsification equipment, were $6.8 million and $4.4 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively. We maintain demo and bundled equipment to facilitate future sales of similar equipment and related products to our customers. Expenditures for capitalized internal-use software were $0.7 million and $2.4 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively, which primarily comprised a company-wide system upgrade as part of the overall expansion of our business. In the six months ended June 29, 2007, we used $723.7 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase IntraLase and $13.8 million to acquire WFSI. In 2008, we expect to invest approximately $45.0 million to $55.0 million in property, plant and equipment, demo and bundled equipment, and capitalized software as part of the overall expansion of our business.

Net cash used in financing activities was $41.4 million in the six months ended June 27, 2008, which primarily was comprised of $46.1 million of debt repayments, partially offset by $4.8 million from the sale of stock to employees. Net cash provided by financing activities was $725.6 million in the six months ended June 29, 2007. We had net borrowings of $725.0 million in short-term and long-term debt that were used to finance the IntraLase acquisition and related financing costs.

As of June 27, 2008, the revolving line of credit included outstanding cash borrowings of approximately $15.0 million and commitments to support letters of credit totaling $8.8 million issued on our behalf for normal operating purposes which resulted in an available balance of $276.2 million.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility, if any, bear interest at current market rates plus a margin based upon our ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined. The incremental interest margin on borrowings under the Credit Facility decreases as our ratio of debt to EBITDA decreases to specified levels. During the first quarter of 2008, this interest margin was 1.75% over the applicable LIBOR rate. Additionally, we can borrow at the prevailing prime rate of interest plus an interest margin of 0.75%. The average annual rate of interest during the first quarter of 2008, inclusive of incremental margin, was 4.88% and 5.22% for the revolving credit facility and term loan, respectively. Under the Credit Facility, certain transactions may trigger mandatory prepayment of borrowings. Such transactions may include equity or debt offerings, certain asset sales and extraordinary receipts. We pay a quarterly fee (1.95% per annum at June 27, 2008) on the average balance of outstanding letters of credit and a quarterly commitment fee (0.50% per annum at June 27, 2008) on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility. In addition, we make mandatory quarterly amortization payments (1.0% per annum at June 27, 2008) on the outstanding balance of the term loan. The revolver component of the Credit Facility provides that we maintain certain financial and operating covenants which include, among other provisions, maintaining specific leverage and interest coverage ratios. Certain covenants under the revolving credit facility may limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Our revolving credit facility prohibits dividend payments by us. On October 5, 2007, as a result of the 2007 Recall, we amended the Credit Facility. The amendment changed the Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for certain quarterly periods. Additionally, for purposes of calculating this ratio as well as the Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, we were permitted to exclude certain recall costs and related impacts. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 27, 2008. The Credit Facility is collateralized by a first priority perfected lien on, and pledge of, all of our combined present and future property and assets (subject to certain exclusions), 100% of the stock of the domestic subsidiaries, 66% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries and all present and future intercompany debts.

On July 30, 2008, as a result of the anticipated effects to the LASIK business of the slowing U.S. economy, we amended the Credit Facility. The amendment changed the Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for certain quarterly periods.

Our cash position includes amounts denominated in foreign currencies, and the repatriation of those cash balances from some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries may result in additional tax costs. However, these cash balances are generally available without legal restriction to fund ordinary business operations.

We believe that the net cash provided by our operating activities, supplemented as necessary with borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and existing cash and equivalents, will provide sufficient resources to fund the expected 2008 capital expenditures, and to meet our working capital requirements, debt service and other cash needs over the next year.

We are partially dependent upon the reimbursement policies of government and private health insurance companies. Government and private sector initiatives to limit the growth of health care costs, including price regulation and competitive pricing, are continuing in many countries where we do business. As a result of these changes, the marketplace has placed increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies. While we have been unaware of significant price resistance resulting from the trend toward cost containment, changes in reimbursement policies and other reimbursement methodologies and payment levels could have an adverse effect on our pricing flexibility. Additionally, the current trend among U.S. hospitals and other customers of medical device manufacturers is to consolidate into larger purchasing groups to enhance purchasing power. The enhanced purchasing power of these larger customers may also increase the pressure on product pricing, although we are unable to estimate the potential impact at this time.

Inflation. Although at reduced levels in recent years, inflation may cause upward pressure on the cost of goods and services used by us. The competitive and regulatory environments in many markets substantially limit our ability to fully recover these higher costs through increased selling prices. We continually seek to mitigate the adverse effects of inflation through cost containment and improved productivity and manufacturing processes.

Foreign currency fluctuations. Approximately 62% of our revenues for the six months ended June 27, 2008 were derived from operations outside the United States and a significant portion of our cost structure is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Japanese yen and the euro. Therefore, we are subject to fluctuations in sales and earnings reported in U.S. dollars as a result of changing currency exchange rates.

The impact of foreign currency fluctuations on sales resulted in an increase of $35.1 million and $10.3 million for the six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively. These fluctuations were due primarily to fluctuations of the Japanese yen and the euro versus the U.S. dollar.

Contractual obligations. We have contractual obligations for long-term debt, interest on long-term debt, operating lease obligations, service contracts and other purchase obligations that were summarized in a table of Contractual Obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Since December 31, 2007, there have been no material changes to the table of Contractual Obligations of the Company, outside of the ordinary course of business.

Off-balance sheet arrangements. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements at June 27, 2008 as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).

Recent Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value within generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. Although SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, its application may, in certain instances, change current practice. Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies fair value related guidance previously issued within GAAP. We have adopted FASB Staff Position 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), issued February 2008, and as a result we applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 that are applicable as of January 1, 2008, which had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We have adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008, which did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”), and SFAS No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). These new standards will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. We will be required to adopt SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 on or after December 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No, 161 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. We are evaluating the impact of this new standard and currently do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements as a result of the implementation of SFAS No. 161.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. 142-3”). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used in estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This standard is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141R and other GAAP. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The measurement provisions of this standard will apply only to intangible assets acquired after January 1, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s related amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from auditing standards.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP No. APB 14-1”). FSP No. APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133. FSP No. APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP No. APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP No. APB 14-1 shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on periods prior to those presented shall be recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented. An offsetting adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, presented separately. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Certain Factors and Trends Affecting AMO and Its Businesses

Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking information about our company’s financial results and estimates, business prospects and future products that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These statements constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, product approvals or approved indications, reimbursement rates, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, financial results, and the expected results and benefits of our strategic initiatives and restructuring activities. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:

 

   

risks associated with the timing, costs and expected benefits of our restructuring activities;

 

   

uncertainties associated with the research and development and regulatory processes;

 

28

our ability to make and successfully integrate acquisitions or enter into strategic alliances;

 

   

exposure to risks associated with doing business outside of the United States, where we conduct a significant amount of our sales and operations;

 

   

foreign currency risks and fluctuation in interest rates;

 

   

our ability to introduce new commercially successful products in a timely and effective manner;

 

   

our ability to maintain a sufficient and timely supply of products we manufacture;

 

   

our reliance on sole source suppliers for raw materials and other products, and single sites of manufacturing;

 

   

competitor consolidations increasing already intense competition from companies with substantially more resources and a greater marketing scale;

 

   

risks and expenses associated with our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;

 

   

risks and expenses associated with intellectual property litigation and infringement claims;

 

   

unexpected losses due to product liability claims, product recalls or corrections, or other litigation;

 

   

risks associated with our ability to regain market share in the multipurpose solution segment following our 2006 and 2007 recalls;

 

   

our ability to maintain our relationships with health care providers;

 

   

concentration of revenue with corporate LASIK chains;

 

   

risks, uncertainties and delays associated with extensive government regulation of our business, including risks associated with regulatory compliance, quality systems standards, complaint-handling, reimbursement and regulation of relationships with health care providers;

 

   

our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel;

 

   

risks associated with indemnification obligations and potential tax liabilities associated with our spin-off from Allergan;

 

   

our significant debt, which contains covenants limiting our business activities;

 

   

changes in market acceptance of laser vision correction;

 

   

the possibility of long-term side effects and adverse publicity regarding laser correction surgery; and

 

   

the effect of weak or uncertain general economic conditions on the ability of individuals to afford refractive procedures, such as the 2008 U.S. economic decline, which has had a material impact on our U.S. Refractive business in 2008.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Form 10-K filing for the 2007 fiscal year listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Item 1A of the Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.” We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and encourage investors to refer to it. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We routinely monitor the risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates. We address these risks through controlled risk management that may include the use of derivative financial instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. We do not expect to enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Given the inherent limitations of forecasting and the anticipatory nature of the exposures intended to be hedged, there can be no assurance that such programs will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in either interest or foreign exchange rates. In addition, the timing of the accounting for recognition of gains and losses related to mark-to-market instruments for any given period may not coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may adversely affect our operating results and financial position.

To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of our interest rate and foreign exchange hedge positions, we continually monitor, from an accounting and economic perspective, our interest rate swap positions and foreign exchange forward and option positions, when applicable, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with our underlying interest rate and foreign currency exposures.

Interest rate risk. At June 27, 2008, our debt comprises solely domestic borrowings and comprises $1.1 billion of fixed rate debt and $460.5 million of variable rate debt. If the interest rates on our variable rate debt were to increase or decrease by 1% for the year, annual interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $4.6 million based on the amount of outstanding variable rate debt at June 27, 2008.

Foreign currency risk. Overall, we are a net recipient of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, we benefit from a weaker dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may negatively affect our consolidated net sales and gross profit as expressed in U.S. dollars.

We may enter into foreign exchange option and forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes to allow management to focus its attention on its core business operations. Accordingly, we enter into contracts which change in value as foreign exchange rates change to economically offset the effect of changes in value of foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and operating expenses. We enter into foreign exchange option and forward contracts in amounts between minimum and maximum anticipated foreign exchange exposures, generally for periods not to exceed one year. We do not enter into foreign exchange option and forward contracts for trading purpose.

We use foreign currency option contracts, which provide for the sale of foreign currencies to offset foreign currency exposures expected to arise in the normal course of our business. While these instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, such fluctuations are anticipated to offset changes in the value of the underlying exposures. The principal currencies subject to this process are the Japanese yen and the euro. The foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to protect the value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and the changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts were economically designed to offset the changes in the revaluation of the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These forward contracts are denominated in currencies which represent material exposures. The changes in the fair value of foreign currency option and forward contracts are recorded through earnings as “Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments,” while any realized gains or losses on expired contracts are recorded through earnings as “Other, net” in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Any premium cost of purchased foreign exchange option contracts are recorded in “Other current assets” and amortized over the life of the options.

The following table provides information about our foreign currency derivative financial instruments outstanding as of June 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The information is provided in U.S. dollar amounts, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

The notional principal amount provides one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of the end of the period, and does not represent the amount of our exposure to market loss. The estimate of fair value is based on applicable and commonly used prevailing financial market information as of June 27, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of these financial instruments, together with the gains and losses on the underlying exposures, will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective. In addition, our management evaluated our internal control over financial reporting and there have been no changes during the most recent fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On August 24, 2007 and September 13, 2007, two purported class action complaints were filed by Scott Kairalla and Barry Galison (the “Galison case”), respectively, in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of our securities between January 4 and May 25, 2007. The Galison case was dismissed without prejudice on November 20, 2007. An amended consolidated complaint was filed on January 18, 2008 (“Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint alleges claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against us and certain of our officers and directors. The Consolidated Complaint alleges that we made material misrepresentations concerning our Complete MoisturePlus product. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on February 29, 2008 on behalf of all defendants. On June 6, 2008, the Court granted AMO’s motion, dismissed the Consolidated Complaint without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to amend on or before July 7, 2008. Rather than file an amended complaint, Plaintiffs agreed to voluntarily dismiss the Consolidated Complaint and the case was dismissed with prejudice on July 11, 2008.

As of March 28, 2008, we have been served or are aware that we have been named as a defendant in approximately 116 product liability lawsuits pending in various state and federal courts within the U.S. as well as certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. in relation to the May 25, 2007 recall of Complete MoisturePlus Multi-Purpose Solution. These suits involve allegations of personal injury to 148 consumers. Of these 116 cases, 101 have been filed in various U.S. courts, 12 in Canada and three in jurisdictions outside North America. None of the U.S. personal injury actions have been filed as purported class actions; however, nine of the Canadian personal injury matters seek class action status. In addition to personal injury suits, three U.S. and four Canadian matters have been filed as purported class actions by uninjured consumers seeking reimbursement for discarded product pursuant to various consumer protection statutes.

These cases involve complex medical and scientific issues relating to both liability and damages and are currently at an early stage. Moreover, most of the plaintiffs seek unspecified damages. Because of this, and because these types of suits are inherently unpredictable, we are unable at this time to predict the outcome of these matters. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these matters; however, we could in future periods enter into settlements or incur judgments that, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations in any such period.

While we are involved from time to time in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims, we are not currently aware of any other actions against us or Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”) relating to the optical medical device business that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We may be subject to future litigation and infringement claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. We operate in an industry susceptible to significant product liability claims. Product liability claims may be asserted against us in the future arising out of the 2007 Recall and/or events not known to us at the present time. Under the terms of the contribution and distribution agreement affecting our spin-off from Allergan, Allergan agreed to assume responsibility for, and to indemnify us against, all current and future litigation relating to its retained businesses and we agreed to assume responsibility for, and to indemnify Allergan against, all current and future litigation related to the optical medical device business.
