HEALTHTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)

1.General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the financial position as of June 30, 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise noted herein. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

The notes to consolidated financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no significant changes in the information reported in those notes other than from normal business activities and as discussed herein. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts presented in 2006 to be consistent with the 2007 presentation. Our cost of services and general and administrative expenses were previously shown on a segment basis and are now shown by function on the face of the statement of income.

On November 10, 2004, Prime Medical Services, Inc. (“Prime”) completed a merger with HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. (“HSS”) pursuant to which Prime merged with and into HSS, with HealthTronics, Inc. (“HealthTronics”) as the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the merger agreement, as a result of the merger, Prime’s stockholders received one share of HealthTronics common stock for each share of Prime common stock they owned. Immediately following the merger, Prime’s stockholders owned approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of HealthTronics common stock, and Prime’s directors and senior management represented a majority of the combined company’s directors and senior management. As a result, Prime was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The consideration paid (purchase price) was allocated to the tangible and intangible net assets of HSS based on their fair values, and the net assets of HSS were recorded at their fair values as of the completion of the merger and added to those of Prime. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were deemed to be those of HealthTronics because HealthTronics was the surviving legal entity.

On June 22, 2006, we and AK Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Truck Corporation (“Oshkosh”), entered into an Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Oshkosh agreed to acquire our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment for $140 million in cash. We completed this sale on July 31, 2006. Accordingly, we have included our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we also sold our cryosurgery operations, committed to a plan to sell our Rocky Mountain Prostate business and announced our decision to discontinue our involvement in the clinical trials of the Ablatherm device. Accordingly, all of these activities have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.Debt

Our senior credit facility is comprised of a five-year $50 million revolver and a $125 million senior secured term loan B due 2011. We entered into this senior credit facility in March 2005. The loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR + 1.25 to 2.25% or prime + .25 to 1.25%. We were required to make quarterly principal payments in connection with the term loan B of $312,500 until February 2010, when quarterly payments would have increased to $29.7 million. On July 31, 2006, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment to repay the term loan B in full. At June 30, 2007, there were no amounts drawn on the revolver. Our senior credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur debt, create liens, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, make restricted payments, enter into transactions with affiliates, and make acquisitions. In addition, our facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. Our assets and the stock of our subsidiaries collateralize the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with the covenants under our senior credit facility as of June 30, 2007.

3.Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on weighted average shares outstanding without any dilutive effects considered. Diluted EPS reflects dilution from all contingently issuable shares, including options and warrants. A reconciliation of such EPS data is as follows:

We did not include in our computation of diluted EPS unexercised stock options to purchase 3,881,000 and 1,015,000 shares of our common stock as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because the effect would be antidilutive. In May 2005, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan to increase by 450,000 shares the number of shares available for issuance thereunder (from 500,000 to 950,000 shares). In June 2006, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan to increase by 2 million shares the number of shares available for issuance thereunder (from 950,000 to 2,950,000 shares).

4.Segment Reporting

We now have two reportable segments: urology services and medical products. Our specialty vehicle manufacturing division, which was sold on July 31, 2006, was also considered a reportable segment prior to its sale. The urology services segment provides services related to the operation of lithotripters and lasers, including scheduling, staffing, training, quality assurance, maintenance, regulatory compliance and contracting with payors, hospitals and surgery centers. Our medical products segment manufactures, sells and maintains lithotripters and their related consumables, and markets fixed and mobile tables for urological treatments and imaging, as well as patient handling tables for use by pain management clinics. The operations of our Claripath pathology laboratory are also included in our medical products segment at this time. Our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment designed, constructed and engineered mobile trailers, coaches and special purpose mobile units that transport high technology medical devices, equipment designed for mobile command and control centers, and equipment for broadcasting and communications applications.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock option grants based on estimated fair values. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the award’s portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for share-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic valued method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 as allowed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the intrinsic value method, share-based compensation expense was only recognized by us if the exercise price of the stock option was less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

(Unaudited)

As of June 30, 2007, total unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options was approximately $4.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years. We have included approximately $752,000 and $381,000 for share-based compensation cost in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Share-based compensation expense recognized during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is related to awards granted prior to, but not yet fully vested as of, January 1, 2006 and awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005. We have historically and continue to estimate the fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black Scholes”) option-pricing model.

6. Inventory

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, inventory consisted of the following:

($ in thousands)	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
Raw Materials	$	8,600	$	7,070
Finished Goods		2,943		4,404
	$	11,543	$	11,474

7. Discontinued Operations

In November, 2006, we announced our decision to discontinue our involvement in the clinical trials of the Ablatherm device manufactured by EDAP TMS S.A. (“EDAP”). As a result of this decision and a termination agreement we entered into with EDAP, we forfeited the exclusive rights to distribute such device in the United States, when and if a Pre-Market Approval of such device is granted by the FDA and forfeited our rights to vest in additional warrants to acquire EDAP common stock. We have accordingly included our costs related to the clinical trials of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (“HIFU”) in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we committed to a plan to sell our Rocky Mountain Prostate Thermotherapies (“RMPT”) business. In July 2006, we entered into a purchase agreement to sell the RMPT business for $1.35 million. The closing of such sale is subject to customary closing conditions. We have classified this business as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and included its results from operations in discontinued operations.

On November 30, 2006, we sold our cryosurgery operations to Advanced Medical Partners, Inc. (“AMPI”). We used the proceeds from the sale to acquire approximately 10% of the outstanding shares of AMPI. Due to the uncertainty of any future distributions, we have assigned no value to this investment in a closely held private company. We have included the operations of this business in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

On June 22, 2006, we entered into an Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Oshkosh agreed to acquire our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment for $140 million in cash. We completed this sale on July 31, 2006, and recognized a gain on the sale totaling $53.6 million. This gain utilized approximately $20.4 million of our deferred tax assets. We have included the operations of this business in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following table details selected financial information included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 relate entirely to our RMPT operations and primarily consist of accounts receivable, supplies and accrued expenses.

Pursuant to EITF 87-24 “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations”, we have allocated certain interest and the related fees incurred to refinance our senior credit facility that was required to be repaid as a result of the disposal of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment. Accordingly, we have included in discontinued operations interest expense totaling $2,145,000 and $4,049,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

8. Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 specifies the way public companies are to account for uncertainties in income tax reporting, and prescribes a methodology for recognizing, reversing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. Adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to our retained earnings. At January 1, 2007, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $2.4 million and are included in deferred and other tax liabilities, none of which, if recognized in total, would impact the effective income tax rate. There have been no additions or subtractions to the total unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

HEALTHTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in interest expense. We had approximately $150,000 of accrued interest and no accrued interest penalties at December 31, 2006. The accrued interest is included as a component of the unrecognized tax benefit noted above.

We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 tax years. It is reasonable to expect that the examination phase of the audit for these years may conclude in the next 12 months, and that the related unrecognized tax benefits for the tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns may differ from recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions in our financial statements at January 1, 2007. However, based on the status of the examination it is not possible to estimate the effect of any such change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions.

9. Aquisitions

Effective April 28, 2007, we acquired a 21% general partner interest in Keystone Mobile Partners, L.P. (“Keystone”) and an additional 14% limited partner interest in Keystone for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.8 million plus certain additional cash consideration to be paid depending on the number of limited partner units sold by us in a post-closing offering of such units, plus certain earnouts. Keystone provides lithotripsy services to the Greater Philadelphia and eastern Pennsylvania area. We recorded approximately $7 million of goodwill related to this transaction, all of which is tax deductible.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. In addition to any risks and uncertainties specifically identified below and in the text surrounding forward-looking statements in this report, you should review the risk factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented.

Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “plans”, “likely”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “believes”, “estimates”, “thinks”, “may”, and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. The following important factors, in addition to those referred to above, could affect the future results of the health care industry in general, and us in particular, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:

• uncertainties in our establishing or maintaining relationships with physicians and hospitals;

• the impact of current and future laws and governmental regulations;

• uncertainties inherent in third party payors’ attempts to limit health care coverages and levels of reimbursement;

• the effects of competition and technological changes;

• the availability (or lack thereof) of acquisition or combination opportunities; and

• general economic, market or business conditions.

General

We provide healthcare services and manufacture medical devices, primarily for the urology community. Prior to July 31, 2006, we also designed and manufactured trailers and coaches that transport high technology medical devices and equipment for mobile command and control centers and the media and broadcast industry. We now have two reportable segments: urology services and medical products. Our specialty vehicle manufacturing division, which was sold on July 31, 2006, was also considered a reportable segment prior to its sale.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Urology Services. Our lithotripsy services are provided principally through limited partnerships or other entities that we manage, which use lithotripsy devices. In 2006, physicians who are affiliated with us used our lithotripters to perform approximately 51,000 procedures in the U.S. We do not render any medical services. Rather, the physicians do.

We have two types of contracts, retail and wholesale, that we enter into in providing our lithotripsy services. Retail contracts are contracts where we contract with the hospital and private insurance payors. Wholesale contracts are contracts where we contract only with the hospital. The two approaches functionally differ in that, under a retail contract, we generally bill for the entire non-physician fee for all patients other than governmental pay patients, for which the hospital bills the non-physician fee. Under a wholesale contract, the hospital generally bills for the entire non-physician fee for all patients. In both cases, the billing party contractually bears the costs associated with the billing service, including pre-certification, as well as non-collection. The non-billing party is generally entitled to its fees regardless of whether the billing party actually collects the non-physician fee. Accordingly, under the wholesale contracts where we are the non-billing party, the hospital generally receives a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee to compensate for its billing costs and collection risk. Conversely, under the retail contracts where we generally provide the billing services and bear the collection risk, we receive a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee.

Although the non-physician fee under both retail and wholesale contracts varies widely based on geographical markets and the identity of the third party payor, we estimate that nationally, on average, our share of the non-physician fee was roughly $2,100 for each of the first six month periods of 2007 and 2006. At this time, we do not anticipate a material shift between our retail and wholesale arrangements.

As the general partner of the limited partnerships or the manager of the other types of entities, we also provide services relating to operating our lithotripters, including scheduling, staffing, training, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and contracting with payors, hospitals and surgery centers.

Also in the urology segment, we provide treatments for benign and cancerous conditions of the prostate. In treating benign prostate disease, we deploy three technologies: (1) trans-urethral microwave therapy (TUMT), (2) photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), and (3) trans-urethral needle ablation (TUNA). All three technologies apply an energy source which reduces the size of the prostate gland. For treating prostate and other cancers prior to November 30, 2006, we used a procedure called cryosurgery, a process which uses a double freeze thaw cycle to destroy cancer cells. We sold our cryosurgery business on November 30, 2006 and have classified it as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

We recognize urology revenue primarily from the following sources:

• Fees for urology services. A substantial majority of our urology revenue is derived from fees related to lithotripsy treatments performed using our lithotripters. We, through our partnerships or other entities, facilitate the use of our equipment and provide other support services in connection with these treatments at hospitals and other health care facilities. The professional fee payable to the physician performing the procedure is generally billed and collected by the physician. Benign prostate disease and prostate cancer treatment services are billed in the same manner as our lithotripsy services under either retail or wholesale contracts. These services are also primarily performed through limited partnerships, which we manage.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

• Fees for operating our lithotripters and laser devices. Through our partnerships and otherwise directly by us, we provide services related to operating our lithotripters and lasers and receive a management fee for performing these services.

Medical Products. We manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters and their related consumables. We also manufacture, sell and maintain intra-operative X-ray imaging systems and other mobile patient management tables, and are the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Revolix branded laser. The operations of our Claripath pathology laboratory are also included in our medical products segment at this time.

• Fees for maintenance services. We provide equipment maintenance services to our partnerships as well as outside parties. These services are billed either on a time and material basis or at a fixed monthly contractual rate.

• Fees for equipment sales, consumable sales and licensing applications. We manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters and certain medical tables, we distribute the Revolix laser and we also manufacture and sell consumables related to the lithotripters. With respect to some lithotripter sales, in addition to the original sales price, we receive a licensing fee from the buyer of the lithotripter for each patient treated with such lithotripter. In exchange for this licensing fee, we provide the buyer of the lithotripter with certain consumables. All the sales for equipment and consumables are recognized when the related items are delivered. Revenues from licensing fees are recorded when the patient is treated. In some cases, we lease certain equipment to our partnerships as well as third parties. Revenues from these leases are recognized on a monthly basis or as procedures are performed.

• Fees for Claripath anatomical pathology services. We provide anatomical pathology services primarily to the urology market place. Revenues from these services are recorded when the related laboratory procedures are performed.

Specialty Vehicle Manufacturing. Before July 31, 2006, we designed, constructed and engineered mobile trailers, coaches, and special purpose mobile units that transport high technology medical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, cardiac catheterization labs, CT scanware, lithotripters and positron emission tomography, or PET, and equipment designed for mobile command and control centers, and broadcasting and communications applications.

A significant portion of our revenue had been derived from our specialty vehicle manufacturing operations. Revenue from the manufacture of trailers where we had a customer contract prior to beginning production was recognized when the project was substantially complete. Substantially complete was when the following had occurred (1) all significant work on the project was done; (2) the specifications under the contract had been met; and (3) no significant risks remained. Revenue from the manufacture of trailers built to an OEM’s forecast was recognized upon delivery.

On June 22, 2006, we and AK Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Truck Corporation (“Oshkosh”), entered into an Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Oshkosh agreed to acquire our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment for $140 million in cash. We completed this sale on July 31, 2006 and have classified this segment as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Developments

Effective April 28, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Keystone ABG, Inc., which owns a 21% general partner interest in Keystone Mobile Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”), and an approximate 14% limited partner interest in the Partnership from the owners thereof, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.8 million, plus certain additional cash consideration to be paid depending on the number of limited partner units sold by us in a post-closing offering of such units, plus an earnout.

Sam B. Humphries, our President and Chief Executive Officer, suffered a cardiac event on May 21, 2007. Mr. Humphries remains in the hospital and continues to recover. It is difficult to assess when Mr. Humphries might be able to return to HealthTronics. James S.B. Whittenburg, our President-Urology Services, has been appointed acting President and Chief Executive Officer.

On July 9, 2007, Mr. Christopher B. Schneider resigned his position as President-Medical Products. Mr. Schneider will provide consulting services to us until December 31, 2007 and we will pay him approximately $22,600 per month through December, 2007. Mr. Schneider’s departure was part of an overall refocusing of our sales and marketing strategy for Medical Products.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:

Impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets are both a critical accounting policy and estimate that requires judgment and is based on assumptions of future operations. We are required to test for impairments at least annually or if circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We test for impairment of goodwill during the fourth quarter. We now have two reporting units, urology services and medical products. The fair value of each reporting unit is calculated using estimated discounted future cash flow projections. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we recorded an impairment to our goodwill totaling $12.2 million related to our urology services segment and $8.4 million related to our medical products segment. The impairment to our urology services segment was due primarily to a decrease in the number of overall procedures during 2006, primarily across our western region partnerships, combined with the loss of certain partnerships and contracts late in 2006. The impairment in our medical products segment related primarily to our decision to reduce or exit certain product lines during the fourth quarter of 2006. As of June 30, 2007, we had goodwill of $234 million.

-20-

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

A second critical accounting policy and estimate which requires judgment of management is the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. We have based our estimates on historical collection amounts, current contracts with payors, current changes of the facts and circumstances relating to these matters and certain negotiations with related payors.

A third critical accounting policy is consolidation of our investment in partnerships or limited liability companies (LLCs) where we, as the general partner or managing member, exercise effective control, even though our ownership is less than 50%. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities more than 50% owned and limited partnerships or LLCs where we, as the general partner or managing member, exercise effective control, even though our ownership is less than 50%. The related agreements provide us with broad powers. The other parties do not participate in the management of the entity and do not have the substantial ability to remove us. Investment in entities in which our investment is less than 50% ownership and we do not have significant control are accounted for by the equity method if ownership is between 20%–50%, or by the cost method if ownership is less than 20%. We have reviewed each of the underlying agreements and determined we have effective control; however, if it was determined this control did not exist, these investments would be reflected on the equity method of accounting. Although this would change individual line items within our consolidated financial statements, it would have no effect on our net income and/or total stockholders’ equity.

Six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the Six months ended June 30, 2006

Our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $5,266,000 (7%) as compared to the same period in 2006. Revenues from our urology services segment decreased $2,646,000 (4%) in the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Revenues from our lithotripsy business decreased $2,535,000 for the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, while revenues from our prostate business decreased $111,000 for the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The actual number of lithotripsy procedures performed in the first half of 2007 decreased by 8% compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to partnership and mobile route closures in late 2006 and continued weak performance across our western region partnerships in early 2007. The average rate per procedure increased by 1% in the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Revenues for our medical products segment decreased by $2,585,000 (23%) for the first half of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Medical products revenues before intersegment eliminations totaled $13,626,000 for the first half of 2007 and $16,600,000 for the same period in 2006. We sold 4 devices and 28 tables in the first half of 2007 compared to 14 devices and 45 tables during the same period in 2006. Revenues from our service operations and consumable sales decreased $1,602,000 in the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease relates primarily to lower electrode sales especially as related to our foreign operations which we closed in late 2006. Revenues from our new laboratory which commenced operations in January 2006, totaled $1,493,000 and $528,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Our costs of services and general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2007 decreased $1,921,000 compared to first half of 2006. Our costs associated with salaries, wages and benefits increased $1,155,000 (5%) in the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to performance merit increases and variable compensation and strategic resource additions related to our laboratory operations and Revolix technology, which were partially offset by decreases from our restructuring efforts in late 2006. Our costs associated with other costs of services for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $1,061,000 (12%) compared to the same period in 2006. This increase is primarily due to several large gains on the sales of certain partnership interests in 2006, which were recorded against this expense category. Our general and administrative costs decreased $389,000 (9%) over the first half of 2006, primarily due to decreased costs related to our restructuring efforts in late 2006. Costs associated with legal and professional fees decreased $844,000 (44%) in the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period 2006. This decrease is primarily due to fees from our strategic consultants incurred in 2006. Manufacturing costs decreased $2,596,000 (40%) in the six month period ending June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is due primarily to the decrease in the cost of sales to external customers. In the future, we expect margins in medical products to vary significantly from period to period based on the mix of intercompany and third-party sales. Advertising costs decreased $251,000 (31%) in the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This relates primarily to payments for product endorsement in 2006.

Income from discontinued operations in the first half of 2007 decreased $1,261,000 compared to the first half of 2006. The income from discontinued operations in the first six months of 2006 included $1,500,000 attributable to our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment and $486,000 in losses attributable to our HIFU, Cryosurgery, and Rocky Mountain Thermotherapy (“RMPT”) operations. In 2007, we had a loss from discontinued operations of $247,000 attributable to our Rocky Mountain Thermotherapy and HIFU operations. In July 2006, we entered into a purchase agreement to sell the RMPT business for $1.35 million. The closing of such sale is subject to customary closing conditions.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $148,000 in the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, due to an increase in our fixed assets from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007.

Minority interest in consolidated income for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 decreased $865,000 (4%) compared to the same period in 2006, as a result of a decrease in income from our urology services segment due primarily to lower revenues.

Provision for income taxes in the first half of 2007 decreased $706,000 compared to 2006 due to the decrease in our taxable net income during the same periods, partially offset in an increase in the effective tax rate in 2007 due to non-deductible share-based compensation.

Three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006

Our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $911,000 (2%) as compared the same period in 2006. Revenues from our urology services segment decreased $277,000 (1%) in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Revenues from our lithotripsy business decreased $475,000 for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, while revenues from our prostate business increased $198,000 in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The actual number of lithotripsy procedures performed in the second quarter of 2007 decreased by 5% compared to 2006, primarily due to partnership and mobile route closures in late 2006 and continued weak performance across our western region partnerships in 2007. The average rate per procedure increased by 1% in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Revenues for our medical products segment decreased by $624,000 (12%) for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Medical products revenues before intersegment eliminations totaled $6,818,000 for the second quarter of 2007 and $7,723,000 for the same period in 2006. We sold 3 devices and 4 tables in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 6 devices and 21 tables during the same period in 2006. Revenues from our service operations and consumable sales decreased $765,000 in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to 2006. This decrease relates primarily to lower service contract revenues and lower electrode sales especially as related to our foreign operations, which we closed in late 2006. Revenues from our new laboratory which commenced operations in January 2006, totaled $877,000 and $262,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

-22-

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Our costs of services and general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2007 was consistent with such costs during the second quarter of 2006. Our costs associated with salaries, wages and benefits increased $1,031,000 (10%) in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to performance merit increases and variable compensation, strategic resource additions related to our laboratory operations, Revolix technology, and corporate marketing, which were partially offset by decreases from our restructuring efforts in late 2006. Our costs associated with other costs of services for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $1,346,000 (37%) compared to the same period in 2006. This increase is primarily due to gains on the sales of certain partnership interests in 2006 and increased costs for repairs and maintenance, partially offset by lower costs for medical supplies. Our general and administrative costs decreased $289,000 (14%) over the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to decreased costs related to our restructuring efforts in late 2006. Costs associated with legal and professional fees decreased $946,000 (66%) in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period 2006. This decrease is primarily due to fees from our strategic consultants incurred in 2006. Manufacturing costs decreased $964,000 (35%) in the three month period ending June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is due primarily to the decrease in the cost of sales to external customers. In the future, we expect margins in medical products to vary significantly from period to period based on the mix of intercompany and third-party sales. Advertising costs decreased $200,000 (34%) in the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. This relates primarily to payments for product endorsement in 2006.

Income from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2007 decreased $687,000 compared to the second quarter of 2006. The income from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2006 included $819,000 attributable to our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment and $270,000 in losses attributable to our HIFU, Cryosurgery, and Rocky Mountain Thermotherapy operations. In the second quarter of 2007, we had a loss from discontinued operations of $138,000 attributable to our Rocky Mountain Thermotherapy and HIFU operations.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

In July 2006, we entered into a purchase agreement to sell the RMPT business for $1.35 million. The closing of such sale is subject to customary closing conditions.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $21,000 in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, due to an increase in our fixed assets from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007.

Minority interest in consolidated income for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 decreased $18,000 compared to the same period in 2006, as a result of a decrease in income from our urology services segment due primarily to lower revenues.

Provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2007 decreased $86,000 compared to 2006 due to the decrease in our taxable net income during the same periods, partially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate in 2007 due to non-deductible share-based compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our cash and cash equivalents were $18,864,000 and $27,857,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Our subsidiaries generally distribute all of their available cash quarterly, after establishing reserves for estimated capital expenditures and working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our subsidiaries distributed cash of approximately $25,079,000 and $29,800,000, respectively, to minority interest holders.

Cash provided by our operations, after minority interest, was $27,098,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $24,926,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, fee and other revenue collected decreased by $7,931,000 due primarily to our decreased revenues. Cash paid to employees, suppliers of goods and others for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by $3,789,000 compared to the same period in 2006. This fluctuation is attributable to a decrease in overall expenses partially offset by a significant payoff of accrued expenses and prepayments on 2007 insurance policies.

Cash used by our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $9,553,000. We utilized approximately $7 million in cash to acquire our interests in the new Keystone partnership and purchased equipment and leasehold improvements totaling $3,466,000 in 2007. Cash used by our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $6,499,000 primarily due to $6,464,000 in equipment and leasehold improvements purchases.

Cash used in our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $26,689,000, primarily due to distributions to minority interests of $25,079,000 and payments on notes payable of $2,670,000 partially offset by borrowings on notes payable of $1,096,000. Cash used in our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $31,381,000, primarily due to distributions to minority interests of $29,800,000 and net payments on notes payable of $1,412,000.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2007 increased $352,000 from December 31, 2006. This increase relates primarily to purchased receivables in our new Keystone partnership offset by lower urology revenues as well as to the timing of collections. Bad debt expense was less than $275,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Inventory as of June 30, 2007, totaled $11,543,000 and increased $69,000 from December 31, 2006.

Senior Credit Facility

Our senior credit facility is comprised of a five-year $50 million revolver and a $125 million senior secured term loan B due 2011. We entered into this senior credit facility in March 2005. The loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR + 1.25 to 2.25% or prime + .25 to 1.25%. On July 31, 2006, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment to repay the term loan B in full. As of June 30, 2007, there were no amounts drawn on the revolver. Our senior credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur debt, create liens, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, make restricted payments, enter into transactions with affiliates, and make acquisitions. In addition, our facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. We were in compliance with the covenants under our senior credit facility as of June 30, 2007.

Other

Other long term debt. On July 31, 2006, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment to repay approximately $3.5 million of mortgage debt related to our building in Austin, Texas. As of June 30, 2007, we had notes totaling $9.9 million related to equipment purchased by our limited partnerships. These notes are paid from the cash flows of the related partnerships. The notes bear interest at LIBOR or prime plus a certain premium and are due over the next three years.

Other long term obligations. At June 30, 2007, we had an obligation totaling $225,000 related to payments to the previous owner of Aluminum Body Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours that we sold as part of the sale of our specialty vehicles manufacturing segment (“ABC”), for $75,000 per quarter until March 31, 2008 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. Also at June 30, 2007, as part of our acquisition of Medstone International Inc. in February 2004, we had an obligation totaling $83,340 related to payments to an employee for $20,833 a month until February 28, 2007 and $4,167 a month beginning March 1, 2007 and continuing until February 28, 2009 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. We also had as part of the Prime-HSS merger, two obligations totaling $50,000 related to payments to two previous employees of HSS. One obligation is for $8,333 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. The other obligation is for $4,167 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. We have an obligation totaling $120,000 related to payments of $3,333 a month until June 15, 2010 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement with a previous employee of our Medical Products division.

(1)	Represents long term debt as discussed above.
(2)	Represents operating leases in the ordinary course of our business.
(3)	Represents an obligation of $225 due to the previous owner of ABC, at a rate of $75 per quarter, an obligation of $83 due to a previous employee of Medstone, at a rate of $21 per month until February 28, 2007 and $4 beginning March 1, 2007 and continuing until February 28, 2009, an obligation of $50 due to previous employees of HSS, at a rate of $13 per month until October 31, 2007, and an obligation of $120 due to a previous employee of ours, at a rate of $3 per month until June 15, 2010.

In addition, the scheduled principal repayments for all long term debt as of June 30, 2007 are payable as follows:

($ in thousands)
2007	$	5,162
2008		2,368
2009		1,658
2010		617
2011		69
Thereafter		33
Total	$	9,907

On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) as described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007, our total liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $2.4 million. We do not believe that our adoption of FIN 48 has a material effect on the schedule of cash contractual obligations included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K because we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of related future payment of our FIN 48 liabilities.

Our primary sources of cash are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility. Our cash flows from operations and therefore our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures, will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors. Likewise, our ability to borrow under our senior credit facility will depend on these factors, which will affect our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit facility and our ability to obtain waivers for, or otherwise address, any noncompliance with the terms of our credit facility with our lenders.

-26-

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

We intend to increase our urology services operations primarily through forming new operating subsidiaries in new markets as well as by acquisitions. We plan to increase our medical products segment by offering new equipment and expanding our customer base. We intend to fund the purchase price for future acquisitions and developments using borrowings under our senior credit facility and cash flows from our operations. In addition, we may use shares of our common stock in such acquisitions where appropriate.

Based upon the current level of our operations and anticipated cost savings and revenue growth, we believe that cash flows from our operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our senior credit facility, will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs both for the short term and for at least the next several years. However, there can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, that we will realize our anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements or that future borrowings will be available under our senior credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.

Inflation

Our operations are not significantly affected by inflation because we are not required to make large investments in fixed assets. However, the rate of inflation will affect certain of our expenses, such as employee compensation and benefits.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of this statement on our financial condition and results of operation.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2007, we had long-term debt (including current portion) totaling $9,907,000, of which $6,371,000 had fixed rates of 1% to 11%, and $3,536,000 incurred interest at a variable rate equal to a specified prime rate. We are exposed to some market risk due to the remaining floating interest rate debt totaling $3,536,000. We make monthly or quarterly payments of principal and interest on $1,802,000 of the floating rate debt. An increase in interest rates of 1% would result in a $35,400 annual increase in interest expense on this existing principal balance.

-28-

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2007, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our acting Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our acting Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
