UROPLASTY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results
for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein as of December 31, 2008 and for
the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 reflect, in the opinion of
management, all material adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim periods.
We have identified certain accounting policies that we consider particularly important for the
portrayal of our results of operations and financial position and which may require the application
of a higher level of judgment by our management, and as a result are subject to an inherent level
of uncertainty. These are characterized as critical accounting policies and address revenue
recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, foreign currency translation and transactions,
impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans and income
taxes, each of which is described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2008. Based upon our review, we have determined that these policies remain our most critical
accounting policies for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2008, and we have made
no changes to these policies during fiscal 2009.
2. Short-term Investments
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit that mature within the next twelve
months. Based on the short-term nature of these investments, their cost approximates their fair
market value.
3. Accounts Receivable
We grant credit to our customers in the normal course of business and, generally, do not require
collateral or any other security to support amounts due. If necessary, we have an outside party
assist us with performing credit and reference checks and establish credit limits for the customer.
Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We carry
our accounts receivable at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful
receivables based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts. We determine the allowance for
doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts
receivables are past due, customer financial condition and ability to pay the obligation,
historical and expected credit loss experience, and the condition of the general economy and the
industry as a whole. We write off accounts receivable when deemed uncollectible. We record
recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off when received. The allowance for doubtful
accounts was $42,000 and $38,000 at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.

We purchase several medical grade materials and other components for use in our finished products
from single source suppliers meeting our quality and other requirements. Although we believe our
supply sources could be replaced if necessary without due disruption, the process of qualifying new
suppliers could cause an interruption in our ability to manufacture our products, which could have
a negative impact on sales.
5. Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets. Our intangible assets are comprised of patents and licensed technology which
we amortize on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or contractual terms,
whichever is less.

In April 2007, we acquired from CystoMedix patents and certain intellectual property assets related
to the Urgent PC product and terminated the April 2005 exclusive manufacturing and distribution
agreement. In consideration, we issued CystoMedix 1,417,144 shares of common stock valued at
approximately $4.7 million. We have capitalized the consideration plus approximately $77,000 of
costs related to the transaction as patents and inventions. In November 2008 we capitalized
approximately $23,000 patent registration fees for our Urgent PC.
Estimated annual amortization for these assets for the years ending March 31, is as follows:

6. Deferred Rent and Leasehold Improvements
We entered into an 8-year operating lease agreement, effective May 2006, for our corporate facility
in Minnesota. As part of the agreement, the landlord provided an incentive of $280,000 for
leasehold improvements. We recorded this incentive as deferred rent and amortize it as a reduction
in lease expense over the lease term in accordance to SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases and FASB
Technical Bulletin 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases. We are amortizing the
leasehold improvements over the shorter of the asset life or the lease term.

9. Credit Facilities
In September 2008 we entered into a one-year business loan agreement with Venture Bank. The
agreement provides for a credit line of up to $2 million secured by the assets of our company. We
may borrow up to 50% (to a maximum of $500,000) of the value of our eligible inventory on hand and
80% of the value of our eligible U.S. accounts receivable; provided, however, our total
liabilities, inclusive of the amount borrowed, may not exceed our tangible net worth. To be
eligible to borrow any amount, we must maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $5 million.
Interest on the loan is charged at a per annum rate of the greater of 7.5% or one percentage point
over the prime rate (3.25% prime rate on December 31, 2008). At December 31, 2008, we had no
borrowings outstanding on this credit line.
Page 10
Uroplasty BV, our subsidiary, has an agreement for an indefinite term with Rabobank of The
Netherlands for a 500,000 (approximately $705,000) credit line. The bank charges interest on the
loan at the rate of one percentage point over the Rabobank base interest rate (5.65% base rate on
December 31, 2008), subject to a minimum interest rate of 3.5% per annum. At December 31, 2008, we
had no borrowings outstanding on this credit line.
10. Warrants
As of December 31, 2008, we had issued and outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of
2,066,928 common shares, at a weighted average exercise price of $3.78.
In connection with the equity offerings of April 2005 private placement, August 2006 private
placement and December 2006 follow-on offering, we issued five-year warrants to purchase 1,180,928,
764,500 and 121,500 common shares, respectively, at exercise prices of $4.75, $2.50 and $2.40 per
share, respectively.
11. Share-based Compensation
As of December 31, 2008, we had one active plan (2006 Amended Stock and Incentive Plan) for
share-based compensation grants. Under the plan, if we have a change in control, all outstanding
grants, including those subject to vesting or other performance targets, fully vest immediately.
Under this plan, we had reserved 2,700,000 shares of our common stock for share-based grants. On
September 18, 2008 our shareholders amended this plan to increase the number of reserved shares of
our common stock, and as of December 31, 2008, we had remaining 1,817,500 shares available for
grant. We generally grant option awards with an exercise price equal to the closing market price
of our stock at the date of the grant.
We account for share-based compensation costs under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123(R), Share-Based PaymentRevised 2004. We incurred a total of approximately $636,000 and
$867,000 in share-based expense (inclusive of approximately $53,000 and $38,000, respectively, for
option grants to consultants) for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We determined the fair value of our option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We
used the following weighted-average assumptions to value the options granted during the following
periods:

The expected life selected for options granted during the quarter represents the period of time
that we expect our options to be outstanding based on historical data of option holder exercise and
termination behavior for similar grants. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the
contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life at the
time of grant. Expected volatilities are based upon historical volatility of our stock. We
estimate a forfeiture rate for stock awards of up to 14% based on the historical employee turnover
rates.

The aggregate intrinsic value for the outstanding and exercisable options was zero because all the
grants were out-of-money based on the closing price of our Companys common stock on December 31,
2008. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $402,400 of unrecognized share-based
compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to options that we expect to recognize
over a weighted-average period of 1.17 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax value of restricted stock that holders
would have received (based on the closing price of our Companys common stock on the grant date)
had all restricted stock vested and if we had issued common stock to the holders on the grant date.
As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $18,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense,
net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock awards that we expect to recognize over a
weighted-average period of 0.40 years.
12. Savings and Retirement Plans
We sponsor various plans for eligible employees in the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom
(UK), and The Netherlands. Our retirement savings plan in the U.S. conforms to Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code and participation is available to substantially all employees. We may
also make discretionary contributions ratably to all eligible employees. We did not make any
contribution to the U.S. plan for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Our international subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans for eligible employees. These
plans provide benefits based on the employees years of service and compensation during the years
immediately preceding retirement, termination, disability, or death, as defined in the plans. We
froze the UK subsidiarys defined benefit plan on December 31, 2004. On March 10, 2005, we
established a defined contribution plan for the UK subsidiary. We closed The Netherlands
subsidiarys defined benefit retirement plan for new employees, as of April 1, 2005. On April 1,
2005, we established a defined contribution plan for new employees for The Netherlands subsidiary.

The United Kingdom pension plan is in an over funded position and its funded status is shown as a
prepaid pension asset. The Netherlands pension plan is in an under funded position and its funded
status is shown as accrued pension liability.
We made aggregate contributions of approximately $151,000 and $381,000, respectively, for the nine
months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 to the two defined plans.
13. Foreign Currency Translation
We translate all assets and liabilities using period-end exchange rates. We translate statements
of operations items using average exchange rates for the period. We record the resulting
translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component
of shareholders equity. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses in our
consolidated statements of operations, including unrealized gains and losses on short-term
intercompany obligations using period-end exchange rates. We recognize unrealized gains and losses
on long-term intercompany obligations within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate
component of shareholders equity.
We recognize exchange gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates
between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the Euro and British pound
(currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated intercompany
obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are revolving in
nature and we do not deem them to be long-term balances. For the three months ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, we recognized foreign currency exchange loss of $- and $37,632, respectively. For
the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized foreign currency exchange loss of
$731 and $53,538, respectively.
Page 13
14. Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded income tax expense (benefit) of
$(4,684) and $4,004, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we
recorded income tax expense of $33,374 and $141,944, respectively. The income tax expense
(benefit) we recorded for these periods is attributed primarily to our operations in Netherlands.
We cannot use our U.S. net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income in foreign
jurisdictions. Effective January 1, 2008, the maximum Dutch income tax rate is 25.5% for taxable
income in excess of 200,000.
Effective April 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109, which prescribes a
recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for financial statement recognition of tax
positions we take or expect to take in a tax return. It is managements responsibility to
determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a taxing authority will sustain a tax position
upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the
technical merits of the position. At adoption on April 1, 2007, we had no unrecognized tax
benefits which needed adjustment. We reviewed all income tax positions taken or that we expect to
take for all open tax years and determined that our income tax positions are appropriately stated
and supported for all open years. Accordingly, adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant
effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Under our accounting policies we would recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax
benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense. At
the adoption date of April 1, 2007, we recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions. As of December 31, 2008, we recorded no accrued interest or penalties related to
uncertain tax positions.
The fiscal tax years 2004 through 2008 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service
and various state taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. In addition, we are subject to
examination by certain foreign taxing authorities for fiscal years 2003 through 2008 which remain
open for examination. We expect no significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefit,
accrued interest or penalties within the next 12 months.
15. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations, which requires the
acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize and measure all assets and liabilities
assumed in the transaction and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the
acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) also establishes guidance for the measurement of the acquirer shares
issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration,
the accounting treatment of pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the treatment of
acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax
valuation allowance and deferred taxes. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and is applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the
statement is applied. Early adoption is not permitted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements An Amendment of ARB 51, which establishes accounting and reporting standards that
require reporting of noncontrolling interests as a component of equity. SFAS 160 also requires
that a parent account as equity transactions, changes in ownership interest while it retains its
controlling interest. SFAS 160 further requires that a parent initially measure at fair value any
retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is applied prospectively as of the
beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is applied.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In February 2007, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 were effective beginning with our current quarter. The adoption of
these two statements did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We recommend that you read this Report on Form 10-Q in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.
Forward-looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements relating to projections, plans, objectives,
estimates, and other statements of future economic performance. These forward-looking statements
are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties relating to our future performance that
may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements, or industry results, to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements. Our business
operates in highly competitive markets and is subject to changes in general economic conditions,
competition, reimbursement levels, customer and market preferences, government regulation, the
impact of tax regulation, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the degree of market acceptance of
products, the uncertainties of potential litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties
detailed elsewhere herein and in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2008..
We do not undertake, nor assume obligation, to update any forward-looking statement that we may
make from time to time.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances
that affect amounts reported. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we have made
our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality.
We have identified certain accounting policies that we consider particularly important for the
portrayal of our results of operations and financial position and which may require the application
of a higher level of judgment by our management, and as a result are subject to an inherent level
of uncertainty. These are characterized as critical accounting policies and address revenue
recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, foreign currency translation and transactions,
impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans and income
taxes, each of which is described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2008. Based upon our review, we have determined that these policies remain our most critical
accounting policies for the nine month period ended December 31, 2008, and we have made no changes
to these policies during fiscal 2009.
Overview
We are a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative, proprietary
products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions. Our primary focus is the continued
commercialization of our Urgent PC system, which we believe is the only FDA-approved minimally
invasive, office-based neurostimulation therapy for the treatment of urinary urgency, urinary
frequency, and urge incontinence symptoms often associated with overactive bladder (OAB). We
also offer Macroplastique, a urethral bulking agent for the treatment of adult female stress
urinary incontinence primarily due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). We believe physicians
prefer our products because they offer an effective therapy for the patient, can be administered in
office-based settings and, to the extent reimbursement is in place, provide the physicians a new
profitable recurring revenue stream. We believe patients prefer our products because they are
minimally invasive treatment alternatives and they do not have the side effects associated with
pharmaceutical treatment options.
Our sales growth during the nine-month period over the corresponding year ago period was influenced
by the growing success we had in the first six months of fiscal 2009 with sales of our Urgent PC
system in the U.S. In the three months ended December 31, 2008, sales in the U.S. of our Urgent PC
system declined over the corresponding year ago period because of reimbursement-related issues.
Our results were also impacted by the steadily increasing sales in the U.S. of our Macroplastique
product because of our increased sales and marketing focus. With our overall growth in sales and
the benefit of increased manufacturing capacity utilization, we have realized increased gross
margins. Although we have incurred increased selling and marketing and research and development
expenses, primarily to support the growth in our U.S. business, the increased sales and the
improvement in gross margins, together with relatively stable general and administrative expenses,
have allowed us to decrease our net loss in the past nine months.
During the past few months, our sales have declined in part due to reimbursement-related issues for
Urgent PC treatments in the U.S. The American Medical Association has advised the medical
community that their previously recommended listed CPT code for reimbursement of Urgent PC
treatments be replaced with an unlisted code. Some third-party insurance
Page 15
carriers are now reassessing their coverage and reimbursement policies for Urgent PC treatments.
However, many other third party payors, including Aetna, under its national policy, and several
local Blue Cross/Blue/Shield plans across the U.S., as well as many other carriers on a
case-by-case basis, continue to cover Urgent PC treatments. We are working with third party payors
to clarify the reimbursement process and have commissioned an additional clinical study that we
anticipate may assist in obtaining a specific listed CPT code for percutaneous tibial nerve
stimulation that will encourage broader use of our Urgent PC. We anticipate spending a total of
$1.1 million to $1.4 million for this clinical study, substantially all of it in the current fiscal
year. We have spent approximately $0.5 million for this clinical study through the nine months
ended December 31, 2008.
Results of Operations
Three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared to three and nine months ended December 31,
2007
Net Sales: Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008, of $3.4 million declined $0.3
million, or a 9% decline, over net sales of $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31,
2007. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, net sales of $11.8 million, increased $2.1
million, or a 22% increase, over net sales of $9.7 million for the nine months ended December 31,
2007. Excluding the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, sales
declined by approximately 3% but increased by approximately 21%, respectively, over the comparative
three- and nine-month periods.
Our sales decline for the three months ended December 31, 2008 is attributed primarily to the 13%
decline in sales of our Urgent PC system in the U.S., offset partially by the 217% growth in sales
of our Macroplastique product in the U.S. We attribute the vast majority of our sales growth for
the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to sales to our Urgent PC system and Macroplastique product
to our customers in the U.S. We had growing success in the U.S. in
the first six months ended September 30, 2008 over the corresponding year ago period with sales of our Urgent PC system, but those sales
declined in the three months December 31, 2008, because of reimbursement-related issues. Sales of
our Macroplastique product in the U.S. have steadily increased because of our increased sales and
marketing focus in the current fiscal year.
Sales to customers in the U.S. in the three months ended December 31, 2008 of $1.9 million
decreased 1% from $2.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007. We attribute the
decrease to the decline in sales of our Urgent PC system because of reimbursement-related issues,
offset about equally by the growth in our Macroplastique product sales. Sales to customers during
the nine months ended December 31, 2008 of $6.4 million increased 52% from $4.2 million in the same
period last year. We attribute this growth to both our Urgent PC system and the Macroplastique
product on which have increased our sales and marketing focus.
Sales in the U.S. of our Macroplastique product, which we launched in late 2007, increased 217% to
$321,000 for three months ended December 31, 2008, from $101,000 for the same year-ago period, and
for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 increased 270% to $762,000 from $206,000 for the same
year-ago period.
Sales to customers outside the U.S. for the three months ended December 31, 2008 were $1.4 million,
a decrease of 18% over sales of $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Excluding the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, sales
decreased by approximately 5%. Sales to customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and
2007 were $5.5 million in each period. Excluding the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates, sales decreased by approximately 2%. We attribute the decrease primarily
to a decrease in sales of our Macroplastique-related and I-Stop products, offset partially by an
increase in sales of our the Urgent PC system.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
or 84% and 79% of net sales in the respective periods. Gross profit was $10.0 million and $7.7
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, or 85% and 79% of net
sales in the respective periods. We attribute the higher gross profit percentage in the three and
nine months ended December 31, 2008 primarily to the favorable product mix, cost reductions and an
increase in the average selling price of our Urgent PC system, partially offset by lower
manufacturing capacity utilization on lower sales in the three months ended December 31, 2008. In
addition, in the three months ended December 31, 2007 we had incurred $122,000 for rent and lease
exit charges due to the discontinuation of manufacturing at our Eindhoven, The Netherlands
facility.
General and Administrative Expenses (G&A): G&A expenses decreased from $0.8 million during the
three months ended December 31, 2007 to $0.7 million during the same period in 2008. Included in
the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 is a $101,000 non-cash, SFAS 123 (R) charge for
share-based employee compensation, compared with a charge of
Page 16
$45,000 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. Excluding share-based compensation
charges, G&A expenses decreased by $29,000. We attribute this decrease primarily to the decline of
approximately $90,000 in accruals for bonuses, offset partially by an increase in personnel-related
and investor relations costs.
G&A expenses were $2.7 million during each of the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008 and
2007. Included in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007 is a $565,000 non-cash, SFAS 123
(R) charge for share-based employee compensation, compared with a charge of $262,000 in the
nine-month period ended December 31, 2008. Excluding share-based compensation charges, G&A
expenses increased by $218,000. We attribute this increase to personnel-related and investor
relations costs, partially offset by approximately $90,000 reduction in accrual for bonuses.
Research and Development Expenses (R&D): R&D expenses increased from $460,000 during the three
months ended December 31, 2007 to $724,000 during the same period in 2008. Expenses increased from
$1,390,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 to $1,460,000 during the same period in
2008. We attribute the increase in spending for the three and nine months ended 2008 primarily to
an increase in spending for clinical studies. We have commissioned an additional clinical study
that we anticipate may assist in obtaining the specific listed CPT code that will encourage
broader use of our Urgent PC. We anticipate spending $1.1 million to $1.4 million for this study,
substantially all of it in the current fiscal year. We have spent approximately $0.5 million for
this clinical study through the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
Selling and Marketing Expenses (S&M): S&M expenses decreased from $2.4 million during the three
months ended December 31, 2007 to $2.1 million during the same period in 2008. We attribute the
decrease primarily to a $327,000 decrease in commissions to independent sales representatives and
compensation-related costs for our sales organization, a $52,000 decrease in travel related costs,
offset by a $91,000 increase in cost for services we outsourced to support our efforts to secure
reimbursement for Urgent PC treatments in the U.S.
.
S&M expenses increased from $6.0 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 to $7.3
million during the same period in 2008. We attribute the increase to a $535,000 increase in
compensation-related costs, primarily as a result of increased salaries, a $136,000 increase in
commissions for sales agents and independent sales representatives, a $69,000 charge for severance
pay, a $253,000 increase in consulting costs to support our efforts to secure reimbursement for
Urgent PC treatments in the U.S., and an increase in other costs to support our expanded sales
organization and marketing activities.
Amortization of Intangibles: Amortization expenses of intangibles were $212,000 and $210,000 during
the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and were $634,000 and $633,000
during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In April 2007, we acquired
certain intellectual property assets related to the Urgent PC system for $4.7 million, which we are
amortizing over six years.
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense, foreign
currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating costs when incurred. Net other income
was $22,000 and $33,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and was
$142,000 and $140,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We recognize exchange gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates
between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the Euro and British pound
(currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated intercompany
obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are revolving in
nature and we do not deem them to be long-term balances. For the three months ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, we recognized foreign currency exchange loss of $- and $37,632, respectively. For
the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized foreign currency exchange loss of
$731 and $53,538, respectively.
Income Tax Expense: For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded income tax
expense (benefit) of $(4,684) and $4,004, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, we recorded income tax expense of $33,374 and $141,944, respectively. The income
tax expense (benefit) we recorded for these periods is attributed primarily to our operations in
Netherlands. We cannot use our U.S. net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income in
foreign jurisdictions. Effective January 1, 2008, the maximum Dutch income tax rate is 25.5% for
taxable income in excess of 200,000.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The following table reconciles our financial results calculated in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) to non-GAAP financial
measures that exclude non-cash charges for share-based compensation under SFAS 123 (R), and
depreciation and amortization expenses from gross profit, operating expenses and operating loss.
The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by us are not a substitute for, or
superior to, financial measures and consolidated financial results calculated in accordance with
GAAP, and
Page 17
you should carefully evaluate our reconciliations to non-GAAP. We may calculate our non-GAAP
financial measures differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore,
our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies. We have
described the reconciliations of each of our non-GAAP financial measures above to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and in particular non-GAAP operating loss, for internal
managerial purposes because we believe such measures are one important indicator of the strength
and the performance of our business as they provide a link to operating cash flow. We also believe
that analysts and investors use such measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of
companies in our industry, including as a means of comparing period-to-period results and as a
means of evaluating our results with those of other companies.
Our non-GAAP operating loss for each of the three-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
was approximately $0.5 million. Compared to the year-ago period, an improvement in gross profit
rate and a decrease in cash operating expenses were about offset by a decrease in sales. Our
non-GAAP operating performance improved from a loss of approximately $1.5 million for the nine
months ended December 31, 2007 to a loss of approximately $0.5 million for the same period in 2008.
We attribute this improvement in non-GAAP operating performance to the increase in sales and an
improvement in gross profit rate, offset partially by an increase in cash operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows.
At December 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalent and short-term investments balances totaled $8.6
million.
At December 31, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $9.2 million. For the nine months
ended December 31, 2008, we used $668,000 of cash in operating activities, compared to $1.6 million
of cash used in the same period a year ago. We attribute the decrease in cash used in operating
activities primarily to the increase in sales and an improvement in gross profit rate, offset
partially by an increase in cash operating expenses.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 we used approximately $181,000 to purchase property,
plant and equipment compared with approximately $211,000 for the same period a year ago.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 we used cash in financing activities of approximately
$456,000 to retire debt, while for the same period a year ago we generated approximately $5.3
million of cash in financing activities, primarily because of approximately $5.4 million we
generated from issuance of common stock and exercise of warrants and options.
Sources of Liquidity.
In September 2008 we entered into a business loan agreement with Venture Bank. The agreement
provides for a credit line of up to $2 million secured by the assets of our company. We may borrow
up to 50% (to a maximum of $500,000) of the value of our eligible inventory on hand and 80% of the
value of our eligible U.S. accounts receivable; provided, however, our total liabilities, inclusive
of the amount borrowed, may not exceed our tangible net worth. To be eligible to borrow any
amount, we must maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $5 million. Interest on the loan is
charged at a per annum rate of the greater of 7.5% or one percentage point over the prime rate
(3.25% prime rate on December 31, 2008). At December 31, 2008, we had no borrowings outstanding on
this credit line.
Uroplasty BV, our subsidiary, has an agreement with Rabobank of The Netherlands for a 500,000
(approximately $705,000) credit line. The bank charges interest on the loan at the rate of one
percentage point over the Rabobank base interest rate (5.65% base rate on December 31, 2008),
subject to a minimum interest rate of 3.5% per annum. At December 31, 2008, we had no borrowings
outstanding on this credit line.
We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our needs over the next twelve months. However, we
may need to raise additional financing to support our operations and planned growth activities in
the future as we have yet to achieve profitability and generate positive cash flows. To achieve
profitability, we must generate substantially more revenue than we have this year or in prior
years. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth will depend, in large part, on our
ability to achieve widespread market acceptance for our products and successfully expand our
business in the U.S., which we cannot guarantee will happen. If we are unable to raise the needed
funds, we may need to curtail our operations including product development, clinical studies and
sales and marketing activities. This would adversely impact our future business and prospects.
Ultimately, we will need to achieve profitability and generate positive cash flows from operations
to fund our operations and grow our business.
Commitments and Contingencies.
We discuss our commitments and contingencies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
March 31, 2008. Since that time we have commissioned a clinical study that we anticipate may
assist in obtaining the specific listed CPT code that will encourage broader use of our Urgent PC
in the U.S. We anticipate spending $1.1 million to $1.4 million for this study, substantially all
of it the current fiscal year. We have spent approximately $0.5 million for this clinical study
through the nine months ended December 31, 2008. There have been no other significant changes in
our commitments for capital expenditure and contractual obligations since March 31, 2008.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to exposures resulting from foreign
currency exchange fluctuations in the normal course of business. Our primary exchange rate
exposures are with the Euro and the British pound. The direct financial impact of foreign currency
exchange includes the effect of translating profits from local currencies to U.S. dollars, the
impact of currency fluctuations on the transfer of goods between our operations in the United
States and abroad and transaction gains and losses. In addition to the direct financial impact,
foreign currency exchange has an indirect financial impact on our results, including the effect on
sales volumes within local economies and the impact of any pricing actions taken as a result of
foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Because our products are currently manufactured or sourced
primarily from the United States, a stronger dollar generally has a negative impact on results from
operations outside the United States, while a weaker dollar generally has a positive effect. We
could experience favorable or unfavorable foreign exchange effects for the remainder of our current
fiscal year, compared with prior year results.
Other Matters
Management regularly reviews our business operations, processes and overall organizational
structure with the objective of improving our financial performance. As a result of this ongoing
process to improve financial performance, we may incur restructuring charges in the future which,
if taken, could be material to our financial results.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls Procedures. Under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. We also maintain a system of internal accounting controls
designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our
transactions and that our policies and procedures are followed. There were no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2008, or
thereafter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control
system inherently has limitations, and the benefits of controls must be weighed against their
costs. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. Therefore, no evaluation
of a cost-effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and
instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.
