ITEM 1. BUSINESS                                                                

OVERVIEW                                                                        

 Cardiac Pathways Corporation (the "Company") develops, manufactures and
markets minimally invasive systems to diagnose and treat cardiac                
tachyarrhythmias (abnormally rapid heart rhythms) which, if untreated, can cause
palpitations, fainting and sudden cardiac arrest (a fatal heart rhythm). The    
Company is developing products designed to provide integrated system solutions  
for the successful diagnosis and treatment of cardiac tachyarrhythmias. The     
Company's products consist of systems for diagnostic mapping, or locating the   
source of the tachyarrhythmia within the heart, and for performing ablation     
treatment, a nonsurgical, minimally invasive technique for neutralizing heart   
tissue responsible for starting or maintaining a dangerous heart rhythm.        

    Current mapping and ablation procedures often take many hours to complete.
The Real-time Position Management ("RPM") Tracking System is the first and only 
FDA-cleared advanced mapping system that allows the clinician to visualize and  
navigate multiple catheter positions and placements in real time, in three      
dimensions. By enabling clinicians to visualize catheters and their trajectory  
in the heart in real time and in three dimensions, the Company believes its     
systems may shorten mapping and ablation procedure time and provide safe and    
more effective treatments of certain forms of cardiac tachyarrhythmias than     
other current forms of therapy. The Company's strategy is to establish its      
Chilli Cooled Ablation System and its suite of Real Time Position Management    
("RPM") Tracking System products as the preferred means for the diagnosis and   
treatment of certain forms of cardiac tachyarrhythmias.                         

 During the year, the Company has seen significant increases in revenues
from sales of the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter in the U.S. and Europe, and   
sales from the Radii-T mapping and ablation catheter in Japan. Sales of the     
Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters to international customers remained          
relatively constant during fiscal 2000. The Company received the U.S. Food and  
Drug Administration ("FDA") 510 (k) clearance in March 2000 to begin marketing  
the RPM Tracking System. This technology, developed by the Company, can be used 
in many diagnostic electrophysiology procedures for real-time visualization of  
catheters utilizing ultrasound technology. The RPM Tracking system is expected  
to assist physicians in precisely manipulating catheters within the heart during
procedures, offering the potential for reductions in procedure times and        
improved economic benefit to the hospital and physician. Also, in March 2000,   
the Company received FDA Premarket approval ("PMA") to market its new Chilli RPM
Cooled Ablation

Catheters incorporating the Company's RPM navigation technology for dynamic     
real-time catheter navigation and visualization. The Chilli PMA includes        
approval for the new 7 French platform with a bi-directional steering           
capability. New models for the Chilli with and without the navigation           
visualization technology were approved within the PMA. In addition, the Company 
has received CE mark approval to market the RPM Tracking System and reference   
and ablation catheters incorporating RPM tracking technology in Europe. Chilli  
and the RPM Tracking System are currently undergoing regulatory approval in     
Japan.                                                                          

 For the Company's products that have recently obtained FDA clearance or
approval, there can be no assurance that any such products will be successfully 
commercialized or that the Company will achieve significant revenues from either
domestic or international sales. Although the FDA granted 510(k) clearance for  
the RPM Tracking System and PMA approval for the Chilli Cooled Ablation         
Catheters with RPM Tracking, the Company has limited experience in              
manufacturing, marketing and selling these products in commercial quantities. In
order to successfully implement its business plan, the Company must manufacture 
and sell the RPM and Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters in commercial quantities. 
Furthermore, the Company will need to expend significant capital resources and  
develop manufacturing expertise to establish large-scale manufacturing          
capabilities. Manufacturers often encounter difficulties in scaling up          
production of new products, including problems involving production yields,     
quality control and assurance, component supply shortages, shortages of         
qualified personnel, compliance with FDA regulations, and the need for further  
FDA approval of new manufacturing processes. The Company intends to market its  
products primarily through a direct sales force in the United States and        
indirect sales channels internationally. Establishing a marketing and sales     
capability sufficient to support sales in commercial quantities will require    
significant management and financial resources. The Company expects to continue 
operating at a loss at least through the end of fiscal year 2002 as it continues
to expend substantial funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing         
capabilities and to expand sales and marketing activities. In addition, there   
can be no assurance the Company will achieve or sustain profitability in the    
future.

BACKGROUND                                                                      

The heart consists of four chambers: the ventricles, the lower two    
chambers, and the atria, the upper two chambers. A healthy heart at rest beats  
between 60 to 100 times per minute and pumps over 1,800 gallons of blood per    
day. A normal heartbeat is the coordinated contraction of each of the heart's   
chambers resulting from the conduction of organized electrical signals generated
by the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinoatrial node ("SA node"). The SA node, 
located in the right atrium, initiates the heartbeat by generating an electrical
signal that causes the atria to contract and helps to fill the ventricles, the  
heart's primary pumping chambers. Once spread throughout the atria, the         
electrical activity of the SA node conducts an electrical signal to the         
atrioventricular node ("AV node"). The AV node serves as a delay timer and      
electrical signal conductor, allowing the atria to complete their contraction   
thus filling the ventricles with blood, then facilitating the organized spread  
of the electrical signal to the ventricles, causing them to contract and        
distribute deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the right ventricle and freshly 
oxygenated blood to the rest of the body from the left ventricle.               

    When defects compromise the normal conduction of this electrical activity,
the pumping rhythm of the heart can be affected, resulting in cardiac           
arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). Cardiac arrhythmias have numerous causes, 
including congenital defects, tissue damage due to heart attacks or             
arteriosclerosis (the deposition of fatty substances in the inner layer of the  
arteries) and other diseases, that accelerate, delay or redirect the            
transmission of electrical activity, thereby disrupting the normal coordinated  
contractions of the chambers. During a cardiac arrhythmia, the heart beats      
either too slowly or too rapidly. Cardiac arrhythmias characterized by an       
abnormally slow heart rate, usually defined as a rate lower than 60 beats per   
minute, are generally treated by implantation of a pacemaker that delivers      
electrical impulses to increase the heart rate.

Cardiac arrhythmias characterized by an abnormally high rate of more than 100   
beats per minute are known as cardiac tachyarrhythmias.                         

Ventricular Tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia is a life-threatening
condition characterized by the ventricles beating at an abnormally rapid rate,  
significantly interfering with the pumping of oxygenated blood throughout the   
body. When the ventricles beat at an abnormally rapid rate, they lack sufficient
time to fill with blood prior to each contraction. As a result, less blood is   
pumped out of the heart and less oxygen is carried to the tissues and organs of 
the body. This lack of oxygen can cause dizziness, loss of consciousness and    
sudden cardiac arrest. Individuals with ventricular tachycardia are at risk of  
imminent death due to the unpredictable nature of ventricular tachycardia. Most 
ventricular tachycardia result from myocardial infarctions (heart attacks)      
caused by coronary artery disease. When a myocardial infarction occurs due to a 
blockage in one or more coronary arteries, a portion of the heart muscle (most  
often in the left ventricle) dies. After the portion of the left ventricle heart
muscle that was served by the blocked artery dies, an irregular border          
consisting of intermixed healthy and scar tissue forms. Ventricular tachycardias
typically originate at the border of healthy and scar tissue.                   

Supraventricular Tachycardia. Supraventricular tachycardias affect    
ventricular rate from an origin above the ventricles. During in-utero           
development, incomplete separation of the top and bottom chambers of the heart  
leaves small muscle bundles that can rapidly conduct electrical signals between 
chambers, resulting in a rapid heart rhythm. The most common types of           
supraventricular tachycardias are Wolff-Parkinson-White ("WPW") syndrome and    
Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia ("AVNRT"). WPW syndrome involves a 
congenital remnant of muscle tissue, an accessory pathway, between the atria and
ventricles that can very rapidly conduct electrical signals between the top and 
bottom chambers of the heart. AVNRT, primarily a congenital condition, is       
characterized by a circuit of conductive tissue between a part of the AV node   
and either the atria or the ventricles. This circuit, like that of WPW syndrome,
can conduct the electrical signals from the AV node rapidly, leading to a       
symptomatic tachycardia.                                                        

THE CARDIAC PATHWAYS SOLUTION                                                   

    The Company has developed products to provide a comprehensive solution for
the successful diagnosis and treatment of ventricular tachycardia and other     
cardiac tachyarrhythmias. The Company's systems are designed to allow the       
electrophysiologist to perform high resolution 3D graphics mapping, enabling the
physician to locate cardiac tachyarrhythmias and assess the effectiveness of the
minimally invasive ablation treatment. In addition, the Company's systems assist
physicians to manipulate, in real-time, multiple catheters within the heart     
during a diagnostic procedure potentially minimizing the use of fluoroscopy and 
to carefully document intracardiac sites involved in the cardiac arrhythmia.    
Current mapping and ablation procedures often take many hours to complete and   
require extensive use of X-ray fluoroscopy to navigate and position catheters   
accurately within the heart. Limitations in this approach are caused by the     
infrequent point-in-time images available through traditional X-ray technology  
that can impede a physician's ability to find key sites in the heart and        
accurately return to those sites later in the procedure to deliver radio        
frequency ("RF") ablation. As a result, patients and clinicians are subjected to
lengthy procedure times and significant exposure to ionizing radiation, and     
because of the lack of precision, the efficacy of these forms of treatment is   
sub-optimal. The Company believes its systems may shorten mapping and ablation  
procedure time and provide safe and more effective treatments than other forms  
of therapy. The Company has also developed and is currently marketing products  
for the diagnosis and treatment of supraventricular tachycardia. The following  
are features and benefits of the core technologies used in the Company's        
products.                                                                       

    Cooled Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia. The Company's Cooled Ablation
System utilizes a patented electrode-cooling catheter that allows the           
electrophysiologist to deliver greater energy levels than existing technologies 
to the site that is causing the ventricular tachycardia. The Company believes   
that the ability to make deeper and wider lesions enables more effective        
treatment.                                                                      

     RPM Tracking System Technology for Complex Arrhythmias. The Company's suite
of RPM Tracking System products consists of the Chilli RPM Cooled Ablation      
Catheter, a line of diagnostic and reference catheter products and a            
computer-based system for recording cardiac electrograms. The catheters contain

ultrasound transducers that are used to precisely triangulate, in real-time, the
position of catheter electrodes within the heart during the diagnostic and      
ablation procedures. The supporting computer system combines real-time 3D       
graphics, displaying catheter images while recording associated intracardiac    
electrical signals. The Company believes RPM Tracking System technology will    
assist physicians to precisely manipulate catheters within the heart during     
diagnostic and ablation procedures, minimize the use of fluoroscopy and to      
carefully document intracardiac sites involved in tachyarrhythmias enabling     
rapid assessment, mapping and ablation of complex arrhythmias.                  

STRATEGY                                                                        

The Company's strategy is to become a commercially viable, profitable 
enterprise by successfully positioning two proprietary technology platforms, the
Chilli Cooled Ablation System and the RPM Tracking System, as standards of care 
for rapid assessment, mapping, diagnosis, navigation and treatment of cardiac   
tachyarrhythmias. The following are the key elements of the Company's strategy: 

 Provide integrated system solutions for diagnosing and treating cardiac
tachyarrhythmias. The Company's integrated RPM Tracking System products are     
designed to quickly identify and map the source of an arrhythmia. The Company's 
Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters integrating RPM Tracking Technology and its    
radiofrequency generator is designed to provide safe, effective ablation of the 
heart tissue. The Company believes that its integrated systems approach provides
solutions for diagnosing and treating a significant portion of the patients who 
suffer from a broad range of cardiac arryhthmias including ventricular          
tachycardia. The Company also believes its integrated RPM Tracking System       
solution offers advantages over other products. All of the Company's products   
are designed to work together and thereby eliminate incompatibility problems    
that may arise from using products from several vendors. The Company believes   
this integrated approach makes the products easier to use, shortens procedure   
times and increases the efficiency of the treatment. In addition, the Company   
plans to be a single source provider of complete mapping and ablation systems,  
thereby making its products more cost-effective.                                

   Market growth of the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter. The Company intends
to promote and support the continued growing base of acceptance and utilization 
of the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter platform in the U.S. and Europe. The     
Company is committed to expanding marketing efforts, customer support and       
manufacturing capacity to support Chilli growth.                                

   Achieve market penetration and acceptance of the RPM Tracking System. The
Company intends to increase the size and scope of the RPM Tracking System       
installed base in the United States and in certain international markets. The   
Company believes that the clinical utility of the RPM Tracking System will lead 
to its rapid adoption by key electrophysiology centers in the United States and 
in certain international markets. The Company is committed to providing superior
clinical support and marketing and sales activities to position this proprietary
suite of products as the preferred solution for intracardiac navigation enabling
the rapid assessment, mapping and ablation of cardiac tachyarrhythmias.         

Accelerate global revenue growth. The Company believes it is poised to
generate increasing revenues from its products in the United States, Europe and 
Japan from existing and new products. The Company intends to continue investing 
substantial resources in the areas of sales, marketing and clinical support. The
Company intends to further develop its manufacturing, sales and marketing       
functions to meet improved product demand. The Company has sold RPM Tracking    
Systems to Japan Lifeline Company, Ltd. ("Japan Lifeline"), the Company's       
distributor in Japan, who is advancing the regulatory approval process for RPM  
in that market.                                                                 

     Continue to build upon relationships with electrophysiologists. The Company
has developed strong relationships with prominent electrophysiologists worldwide
who have been involved in, and whom the Company expects to continue to be       
involved, in clinical and product development. The Company intends to continue  
to build these substantial relationships through active field clinical support, 
clinical investigator meetings and participation in scientific symposia and     
meetings to discuss clinical issues and treatments. The Company's strategy is to
leverage these relationships with leading electrophysiologists to gain market   

 5

acceptance of its products in the United States and internationally. The Company
believes there are approximately 600 board-certified electrophysiologists       
practicing in the United States.                                                

Pursue strategic relationships with others. The Company believes that 
certain multinational medical device companies may find our technologies        
attractive for integrating into their own product strategies, or for            
distributing to their own customers. The Company intends to pursue beneficial   
opportunities to leverage its extensive intellectual property portfolio and to  
extend its technology platforms through licensing agreements and strategic      
partnerships with others in the industry.                                       

Maintain technological leadership and achieve market leadership. The  
Company intends to become a market leader of commercialized integrated systems  
to diagnose and treat cardiac tachyarrhythmias. The Company believes that its   
technological innovations have overcome the principal obstacles to the          
development of such systems. In addition, the Company intends to continue       
investing significant resources to enhance its technological position and to    
increase market acceptance of its products.                                     

Protect and enhance proprietary position. The Company currently holds 
issued and allowed patents and has pending patents and applications covering a  
number of fundamental aspects of the Company's Chilli Cooled Ablation System,   
RPM Tracking System and other products. The Company owns 64 United States issued
patents and 4 foreign issued patents. The Company owns exclusive field-of-use   
license on 26 United States issued patents. In addition, the Company has 8      
United States pending patent applications, of which two are licensed. The       
Company has also filed or licensed 22 corresponding foreign patent applications 
that are currently pending in Europe and/or Japan. Four of the pending foreign  
patent applications are Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT") applications, with    
Europe and Japan as designated countries for filing at the national phase. One  
of the PCT applications is licensed. The Company's 64 United States patents     
expire at various dates ranging from 2012 to 2020 and the 4 foreign issue       
patents expire at various dates ranging from 2012 to 2015. The exclusive field  
of use license of 26 United States issued patents expires at various dates      
ranging from 2013 to 2020.

 The following are detailed descriptions of the Company's core products:

Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter. The Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter  
incorporates Real-time Position Management navigation technology and is designed
to perform an ablation treatment that can reach wide and deep within the heart  
tissue to successfully treat the patient's cardiac arrhythmia. The Chilli Cooled
Ablation Catheter is a minimally invasive device designed to treat ventricular  
tacharrhythmia using radiofrequency energy ablation to create lesions in the    
ventricle. Although leading electrophysiologists have recently begun to use     
radiofrequency ablation to treat ventricular tachycardia, excessive heating of  
the tissue and the ablation electrode often limits the level of energy delivered
and therefore the success of the treatment. Incorporating a closed system of    
fluid circulation, the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter allows circulating fluid 
to cool the catheter ablation electrode during delivery of radiofrequency energy
and is the only FDA-approved closed-

loop cooled ablation system available in the world today. A logically integrated
pump injects fluid into a catheter lumen that circulates the fluid to the tip   
electrode and back to the fluid pump. The circulation of fluid draws heat away  
from the metal electrode and from the electrode-to-tissue interface, which the  
Company believes will allow the delivery of higher radiofrequency energy power  
levels without excessive heating. Higher power levels allow for creation of     
wider and deeper lesions than those created with lower power levels, increasing 
the likelihood of a successful ablation. The Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter is 
labeled for single use due to its closed system of fluid circulation through    
catheter lumens.                                                                

    Radiofrequency Generator with Integrated Fluid Pump. Radiofrequency energy
is the most common energy source used in catheter ablation procedures. When     
radiofrequency energy is passed through heart tissue, the tissue resists the    
flow of energy, generating heat in a process known as resistive heating.        
Resistive heating destroys the cardiac tissue in contact with the catheter. The 
treatment of many arrhythmias requires that ablation produce large, deep        
lesions. However, when the tissue becomes too hot from resistive heating, heat  
conducts back from within the tissue to the catheter electrode tip causing the  
formation of charred blood particles. This inhibits the flow of energy to the   
heart tissue and the depth of the lesion that can be produced. In addition, this
overheating poses a risk as the removal of the catheter from the heart can      
dislodge charred blood particles that can travel through the arteries exiting   
the heart into the brain, causing a stroke.                                     

Cooled ablation addresses these shortcomings of radiofrequency energy 
ablation. By cooling the catheter tip, the Company believes heat is removed from
the electrode-to-tissue interface, allowing more energy to be delivered to the  
heart without blood coagulating on the catheter tip, resulting in what the      
Company believes are larger and deeper lesions created in a safer manner. The   
Radiofrequency Generator and Integrated Fluid Pump incorporates the widely      
accepted radiofrequency energy method for creating endocardial lesions with a   
programmable fluid pump for fluid delivery during ablation. The Company believes
this is the only radiofrequency generator featuring an integrated fluid pump for
catheter electrode cooling. Currently, software design limits the radiofrequency
energy output to a maximum of 50 watts, a level of energy delivery believed to  
be both safe and sufficiently strong to produce an effective lesion.            

RPM Tracking System Products. RPM Tracking System Products include    
catheters and computer systems that allow the recording, viewing and annotation 
of diagnostic electrophysiology ("EP") catheter and electrode positions. The    
specialized diagnostic catheters contain ultrasound transducers that are used to
determine and graphically display the 3D position of catheters during a         
procedure. All catheters contain ultrasound transducers that are used as        
transmitters, receivers or transceivers in the system. An ultrasound transducer 
acting as a transmitter is energized by the electronics. All transducers acting 
as receivers detect the arrival of the transmitted pulse and latch the time of  
arrival. There is a linear relationship between the transmit time through blood 
and tissue, and the distance between the transmit and receive transducers. Using
this relationship, the distances between all transducers is determined and is   
then used to reconstruct the location/position of each transducer in 3D space.  
From these positions the catheter locations are projected in real-time by       
software into a 3D representation on the system display. All catheters also     
contain electrodes for mapping and pacing during EP procedures. Tracking        
catheters may also contain ablation electrodes for creating lesions in the      
myocardium. The position of these electrodes and ablative lesions can be        
recorded on the system to analyze activation through the tissue, known as       
mapping, and to document the location of lesion placement. The system can be    
used to navigate catheters without the use of fluoroscopy.                      

The RPM Tracking System records, amplifies and displays the unique    
electrical activity recorded from catheter electrodes that have been passed into
the heart. The RPM Tracking System was also designed to function as a signal    
amplifier system to be used in basic diagnostic electrophysiology studies with  
single point catheters. The system also supports complex mapping catheters by   
offering software that intuitively displays information abstracted from the     
timing information in the electrical signals using a type of color display known
as an isochronal map. The isochronal maps represent those parts of the heart's  
chamber that contract at the same time by using the same color. With this       
technique, color indicates when parts of the heart contract relative to each    
other. Colors provide rapid visual indication of a segment of the heart that    
could be a source of the tachycardia.

  The RPM Tracking System is unique in that the same computer and software
base have been leveraged to provide both the signal recording and 3D position   
mapping on a single platform.                                                   

The Company's RPM Tracking System Products will require additional    
development before they can be marketed in certain international markets, other 
than Europe. There can be no assurance that the Company's development efforts   
will be successful or that the RPM Tracking System Products or any other        
products developed by the Company will be safe or effective, approved by        
appropriate regulatory and reimbursement authorities, capable of being          
manufactured in commercial quantities at acceptable costs or successfully       
marketed. Furthermore, because the Chilli Cooled Ablation System and the RPM    
Tracking System Products represent the Company's primary near-term product      
focus, the Company could be required to cease operations if these systems and   
products are not successfully commercialized.                                   

     There can be no assurance that the Company's Cooled Ablation System and RPM
Tracking System Products or the component catheters and equipment will gain     
significant market acceptance among physicians, patients and health care payors.
The Company believes that physicians' acceptance of procedures performed using  
the Company's systems will be essential for market acceptance of its systems.   
Physicians will not recommend that procedures be performed using the Company's  
systems until such time, if at all, as clinical data or other factors           
demonstrate the efficacy of such procedures as compared to conventional drug,   
surgical and other treatments. Even if the clinical efficacy of procedures using
the Company's systems is established, electrophysiologists, cardiologists and   
other physicians may elect not to recommend the procedures for any number of    
other reasons. The Company believes that, as with any novel medical procedure,  
there will be a significant learning process involved for physicians to become  
proficient. Broad use of the Company's systems will require training of         
physicians, and the time required to complete such training could adversely     
affect market acceptance. Failure of the Company's products to achieve          
significant market acceptance would have a material adverse effect on the       
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.              

 Radii-T Mapping and Ablation Catheters. The Company's Radii-T family of
supraventricular tachycardia mapping and ablation catheters is similar to       
catheters widely used in conjunction with ablation procedures. Each catheter has
a deflectable, steerable shaft that can be used with single-point mapping       
techniques to locate potential arrhythmia sites prior to application of         
radiofrequency energy to ablate the tissue. Unlike ventricular tachycardia,     
single-point mapping techniques are appropriate for supraventricular tachycardia
because the arrhythmia can be induced and maintained in the patient for a       
sufficient length of time to identify the origins of the supraventricular       
tachycardia without threatening the patient's life. The radius of the           
deflectable curve may be adjusted by the clinician. This feature allows small   
catheter tip movements and slight curve changes that are necessary to reach     
different anatomical sites. Some Radii-T models contain a temperature sensor    
embedded into the ablation electrode to provide additional information about the
performance of the radiofrequency energy delivery. The Company believes that the
Radii-T is compatible with other manufacturer's radiofrequency generators for   
use in supraventricular tachycardia ablation procedures. The Radii-T            
supraventricular tachycardia mapping and ablation catheters are distributed     
internationally by distributors.                                                

  Trio/Ensemble Diagnostic Catheters. Many diagnostic electrophysiological
studies are performed with placement of multi-electrode catheters in three or   
four locations of the right heart chambers. The placement of these diagnostic   
catheters provides the electrophysiologist with an overall tool to assess       
electrical conduction between the atria and the ventricle. The Ensemble is      
available with five curve shapes to assist placement of the catheters in        
different locations within the heart. The Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters    
allow the placement of three diagnostic catheters through a single patient      
introduction site rather than separate introduction sites for each catheter,    
reducing patient preparation time, lessening patient trauma and potentially     
enabling the electrophysiology study to be performed on an outpatient basis. In 
the United States, Arrow distributes the products and Arrow and a limited number
of other distributors market the Trio/Ensemble on the Company's behalf in       
certain international markets. In Japan and southern Europe, the Trio/Ensemble  
catheters are marketed through separate distributor agreements.

CLINICAL TRIALS                                                                 

The Company discontinued a clinical trial for a second version for the
Nexus Linear Lesion Catheter for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in July   
1999. The Company has also discontinued the Mercator product line.              

 There can be no assurance that the Company's current or future products
will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials under applicable United  
States or international regulatory guidelines or that additional modifications  
to the Company's products will not be necessary. Furthermore, there can be no   
assurance that the Company will be successful in perfecting the design of the   
RPM Tracking System Products. With respect to the Chilli Cooled Ablation System,
because ablation treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is relatively new, the        
long-term effects of radiofrequency ablation on patients are unknown. As a      
result, the long-term success of ablation therapy in treating ventricular       
tachycardia and other tachyarrhythmias will not be known for several years.     

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION                                                      

The Company markets its Chilli Cooled Ablation System and RPM Tracking
System through a direct sales force in the United States and through            
distributors internationally. The Radii supraventricular tachycardia mapping    
catheter and the Radii-T mapping and ablation catheters, Trio/Ensemble          
diagnostic catheters are marketed internationally through established           
distributors of specialty cardiovascular products. The Company's agreement with 
Arrow provides distribution rights for the Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters   
throughout the world except for the territories of Japan and southern Europe. In
Europe and Japan, the Company has agreements with distributors for distribution 
of the Company's commercialized products. The agreements in Europe are with     
three distributors: Izasa, S.A., Curative EP and Ela Medical, S.A. and were     
signed in June 1998, July 1998 and August 1999, respectively. These agreements  
cover the major European medical device markets: Germany (Curative EP), France  
and Italy (Ela Medical) and Spain (Izasa). Sales of Radii-T and Trio/Ensemble to
Japan Lifeline, the Company's distributor in Japan, accounted for 49%, 52% and  
80%, of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.    
International sales accounted for 67%, 78% and 87% of the Company's net sales in
fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.                                       

   The Company generally operates under written distribution agreements that
grant exclusive rights to sell the Company's products within a defined          
territory. These agreements generally grant the Company the right to terminate  
the distributor for cause (which includes failure to satisfy specified minimum  
performance obligations) or the failure of the distributor to obtain required   
governmental approvals to distribute the Company's products in the territory.   
These distributors also market medical products of other companies, although the
Company has obtained covenants from its distributors granting the Company rights
to terminate given distribution agreements with distributors that market medical
devices that compete directly with those of the Company. Distributors typically 
purchase the Company's products at a discount to list price and resell the      
products to hospitals and physicians. All sales of the Company's products to    
date have been denominated in U.S. dollars. The end-user price is determined by 
the distributor and varies from country to country. Changes in overseas economic
conditions, currency exchange rates, foreign tax laws, or tariffs or other trade
regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to    
market its products internationally and therefore on its business, financial    
condition and results of operations.                                            

The Company has established a sales and marketing organization that   
supports direct sales in the U.S. and manages distributors internationally. The 
Company intends to leverage its existing field clinical engineers' and          
specialists' technical expertise to support the installed base of RPM Tracking  
System Products. The Company believes that the concentrated nature of the market
of practicing electrophysiologists in the United States will allow it to address
this market with a small, targeted sales force. The Company believes that fewer 
than 200 of the practicing electrophysiology centers account for approximately  
two-thirds of the electrophysiological procedures performed for ventricular     
tachycardia.                                                                    

The Company has expanded its sales and marketing efforts to include   
marketing managers and clinical specialists to assist in the sales and marketing
efforts. The Company's marketing and sales strategy in the United States will   
involve the use of a combination of sales representatives directly employed by  
the Company and field application engineers to provide technical expertise. The 
role of the sales representative will be to

demonstrate the use of the Company's products while educating physicians as to  
the clinical benefits of catheter ablation, using marketing techniques similar  
to those commonly employed in the cardiovascular device industry. The role of   
the field clinical specialists will be to provide installations of the Company's
systems and provide training to physicians and their staff on appropriate       
operation of the Company's equipment. The Company also intends to establish a   
resource to provide physicians with relevant clinical information regarding the 
Company's products. The Company believes that this combination of sales         
representatives and field clinical specialists will provide an appropriate      
balance of professional selling skills while maintaining a high level of        
technical expertise in the field.                                               

 There can be no assurance that electrophysiologists will accept the RPM
Tracking System Products on a commercial basis. Failure to gain market          
acceptance by such systems or products would have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.          

A key element of the Company's marketing strategy has been to develop 
relationships with prominent academic physicians who have a history of research 
and publications in peer reviewed literature on ablation for cardiac            
arrhythmias. The Company's strategy is to leverage off these relationships with 
leading electrophysiologists to gain market acceptance of its products in the   
United States and internationally. The Company believes there are approximately 
600 board certified electrophysiologists practicing in the United States. These 
physicians have been involved and will continue to be involved in the Company's 
clinical and product and market development efforts. The Company intends to     
continue to build these relationships through active field support,             
participation in scientific symposia and meetings to discuss clinical issues and
treatments. Because of the sub-specialty nature of electrophysiology,           
electrophysiologists with high patient volume are found in referral centers     
usually associated with major academic medical centers in large urban population
centers.                                                                        

     Establishing a marketing and sales capability sufficient to support planned
sales growth will require substantial efforts as well as significant management 
and financial resources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to continue to expand its marketing staff or sales force, that the establishment
of such a marketing staff or sales force will be cost-effective or that the     
Company's sales and marketing efforts will be successful. There can be no       
assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or enter into agreements    
with existing or new distributors, or that such distributors will devote        
adequate resources to selling the Company's products. Failure to establish      
appropriate distribution relationships could have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.          

   The Company currently sells its Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters, Radii-T
mapping and ablation catheters, Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters and RPM      
Tracking Systems through distributors in certain international markets. All     
sales of the Company's products to date have been denominated in U.S. dollars.  
In addition, the Company plans to market its other products in international    
markets, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals. Changes in        
overseas economic conditions, currency exchange rates, foreign tax laws, or     
tariffs or other trade regulations could have a material adverse effect on the  
Company's ability to market its products internationally and therefore on its   
business, financial condition and results of operations.                        

STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS                                                         

     The Company intends to pursue strategic relationships with corporations and
research institutions with respect to the research, development, international  
regulatory approval, manufacturing, distributing and marketing of certain of its
products. Although the Company intends to pursue strategic relationships in the 
future, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in        
establishing or maintaining any such relationships or that any such relationship
will be successful.                                                             

 The Company has manufacturing and distribution agreements with Arrow, a
manufacturer and distributor of medical products for critical care medicine,    
interventional cardiology and radiology. Under the manufacturing agreement,     
Arrow has the exclusive right to manufacture and sell the Trio/Ensemble         
diagnostic catheters (the "Products") throughout the entire world, except in the
countries of Japan, Italy, France, Portugal and Spain (the "Territory"), for use
in the field of electrophysiology testing; provided, however, that, after the   
expiration of the initial five year term in March 2000, the Company has the     
option to change the distribution right to be nonexclusive. The Company has not 
yet exercised this option. The term of

the distribution agreement is ten years and products purchased by Arrow for     
distribution under the distribution agreement are to be paid net thirty (30)    
days after the date of invoice. Under the manufacturing agreement, Arrow has a  
nonexclusive right to manufacture the Products for distribution and sale in the 
Territory by Arrow and for distribution and sale outside of the Territory by the
Company. The royalty payments for the manufacturing right include a             
nonrefundable, prepaid royalty of $3 million and an ongoing royalty of 5% on net
sales of the Products; provided, however, that, if the Company elects to convert
the distribution agreement to be nonexclusive, the royalty rate will be reduced 
to 3% of net sales. Also, the manufacturing agreement requires that, at the     
Company's option, Arrow shall manufacture and supply to the Company such        
quantities of the Products as the parties agree upon from time to time. The     
manufacturing agreement terminates upon termination of the distribution         
agreement provided, however, that the Company may extend the term of the        
manufacturing agreement with respect to product supplied to the Company for a   
period of three months.                                                         

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT                                                        

    Substantially all of the Company's research and development activities are
performed internally by the Company's team of research scientists, engineers and
technicians. The Company's primary research and development programs involve    
developing improvements to the Chilli Cooled Ablation System and the RPM        
Tracking System. This includes developing new mapping and ablation catheter     
configurations and new versions of the mapping and ablation equipment and       
related software in order to increase the efficacy of the procedures, improve   
manufacturing reliability and reduce component and manufacturing costs.         

    Research and development expenses which also includes clinical and certain
regulatory expenses for fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $6.9 million, $12.1     
million and $14.4 million, respectively.                                        

MANUFACTURING                                                                   

   The Company has a 14,000 square feet manufacturing facility consisting of
approximately 9,000 square feet for catheter manufacturing, systems assembly and
testing, and approximately 5,000 square feet of manufacturing support area at   
its facilities in Sunnyvale, California. The manufacture of catheters is a      
complex operation involving a number of separate processes and components. Each 
catheter is assembled and individually tested by the Company prior to           
sterilization in accordance with FDA Quality System Regulations. The            
manufacturing process for the tracking, mapping and ablation equipment consists 
primarily of assembly of purchased components and testing operations.           

     Components and raw materials are purchased from various qualified suppliers
and subjected to stringent quality specifications. The Company conducts quality 
audits of suppliers and is establishing a vendor certification program. A number
of the components are provided by sole source suppliers. For certain of these   
components, there are relatively few alternative sources of supply, and         
establishing additional or replacement vendors for such components could not be 
accomplished quickly. The Company plans to qualify additional suppliers if and  
as future production volumes increase. Because of the long lead time for some   
components that are currently available from a single source, a vendor's        
inability to supply such components in a timely manner could have a material    
adverse effect on the Company's ability to manufacture certain products and     
therefore on its business, financial condition and ability to market its        
products as currently contemplated.                                             

The Company has limited experience manufacturing its products in the  
volumes that will be necessary for the Company to achieve significant increases 
in commercial sales, and there can be no assurance that reliable, high-volume   
manufacturing capacity can be established or maintained at commercially         
reasonable costs. The Company may need to further expend significant capital    
resources and develop manufacturing expertise to establish large-scale          
manufacturing capabilities. Manufacturers often encounter difficulties in       
scaling up production of new products, including problems involving production  
yields, quality control and assurance, component supply shortages, shortages of 
qualified personnel, compliance with FDA regulations, and the need for further  
FDA approval of new manufacturing processes. In addition, the Company believes  
that substantial cost reductions in its manufacturing operations will be        
required for it to achieve profitable growth for its catheters and systems. Any 
inability of the Company to establish and maintain large-scale manufacturing

capabilities would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,    
financial condition and results of operations.                                  

   The Company's manufacturing facilities are subject to periodic inspection
by regulatory authorities, and its operations must undergo Quality System       
Regulations ("QSR," the successor regulations to Good Manufacturing Practices   
Regulations) compliance inspections conducted by the FDA. The Company is        
required to comply with QSR requirements in order to manufacture and sell       
products in the United States and with ISO9001/EN46001 standards to manufacture 
and sell products in Europe. The Company's manufacturing facilities are subject 
to periodic inspection by regulatory authorities, and failure of the Company to 
comply with quality system requirements may result in the Company being required
to take corrective actions, such as modification of its policies and procedures.
In August 1999, the Company's facilities and manufacturing process were         
inspected by the FDA in an inspection related to a PMA approval application.    
This inspection resulted in a recommendation for approval by the FDA district   
office. The Company has received ISO9001/EN46001 certification under the        
European Medical Device Directive from its European Notified Body. The Company  
has also received a medical device manufacturing license issued by the State of 
California Department of Health Services ("CDHS"), and is registered with the   
FDA as a medical device manufacturer. If the Company is unable to maintain such 
licenses and certifications, the Company would be unable to manufacture and     
distribute its products and such inability would have a material adverse effect 
on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.                 

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS                                                  

   The Company's success will depend in part on its ability to obtain patent
and copyright protection for its products and processes, to preserve its trade  
secrets and to operate without infringing or violating the proprietary rights of
third parties. The Company's strategy is to actively pursue patent protection in
the United States and foreign jurisdictions for technology that it believes to  
be proprietary and that offers a potential competitive advantage for its        
products. The Company holds issued and allowed Patents covering a number of     
fundamental aspects of the Company's systems and products. The Company currently
holds issued and allowed patents and has pending patents covering a number of   
fundamental aspects of the Company's Cooled Ablation System, RPM Tracking System
and other products. The Company owns 64 United States issued patents and 4      
foreign issued patents. The Company owns an exclusive field-of-use license on 26
United States issued patents. In addition, the Company has 8 United States      
pending patent applications, of which two are licensed. The Company has also    
filed or licensed 22 corresponding foreign patent applications that are         
currently pending in Europe and/or Japan. Four of the pending foreign patent    
applications are Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT") applications, with Europe and
Japan as designated countries for filing at the national phase. One of the PCT  
applications is licensed. The Company's 64 United States patents expire at      
various dates ranging from 2012 to 2020 and the 4 foreign issues patents expire 
at various dates ranging from 2012 to 2015. The exclusive field of use license  
of 26 United States issued patents expires at various dates ranging from 2013 to
2020.                                                                           

     The Company's patents and patent applications relate to a number of aspects
of the Company's technology, including the technology related to ultrasound     
tracking, the integration of mapping and ablation in a single device, the cooled
ablation catheters, bend location and radius adjustment in the ablation         
catheters and the multipart introducer. The Company intends to file additional  
patent applications to seek protection for other proprietary aspects of its     
technology in the future. The patent positions of medical device companies,     
including those of the Company, are uncertain and involve complex and evolving  
legal and factual questions. The coverage sought in a patent application either 
can be denied or significantly reduced before or after the patent is issued.    
Consequently, there can be no assurance that any patents from pending patent    
applications or from any future patent application will be issued, that the     
scope of any patent protection will exclude competitors or provide competitive  
advantages to the Company, that any of the Company's patents will be held valid 
if subsequently challenged or that others will not claim rights in or ownership 
of the patents and other proprietary rights held by the Company. Since patent   
applications are confidential until patents are issued in the United States or  
corresponding applications are published in international countries, and since  
publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags    
behind actual discoveries, the

Company cannot be certain that it was the first to make the inventions covered  
by each of its pending patent applications or that it was the first to file     
patent applications for such inventions. In addition, there can be no assurance 
that competitors, many of which have substantial resources and have made        
substantial investments in competing technologies, will not seek to apply for   
and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with the Company's     
ability to make, use or sell its products either in the United States or in     
international markets. Further, the laws of certain foreign countries do not    
protect the Company's intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the 
laws of the United States. Litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could    
result in substantial cost and uncertainty to the Company may also be necessary 
to enforce patent or other intellectual property rights of the Company or to    
determine the scope and validity of other parties' proprietary rights. There can
be no assurance that the Company will have the financial resources to defend its
patents from infringement or claims of invalidity.                              

The Company also relies on licensed technology from others for certain
components of its tracking and ablation systems. In July 1999, the Company      
entered into an agreement with a Canadian company to obtain an exclusive        
worldwide license to certain patents involving the use of ultrasound technology.
The terms of the agreement included payments made by the Company to the licensor
of $1,000,000 each in August 1999 and January 2000.                             

     In addition to patents, the Company relies on trade secrets and proprietary
know-how to compete. The Company seeks to protect its trade secrets and         
proprietary know-how, in part, through appropriate confidentiality and          
proprietary information agreements. These agreements generally provide that all 
confidential information developed or made known to individuals by the Company  
during the course of the relationship with the Company is to be kept            
confidential and not disclosed to third parties, except in specific             
circumstances. The agreements also generally provide that all inventions        
conceived by the individual in the course of rendering service to the Company   
shall be the exclusive property of the Company. There can be no assurance that  
proprietary information or confidentiality agreements with employees,           
consultants and others will not be breached, that the Company will have adequate
remedies for any breach, or that the Company's trade secrets will not otherwise 
become known to or independently developed by competitors.                      

    The medical device industry has been characterized by extensive litigation
regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and companies in the  
medical device industry have employed intellectual property litigation to gain a
competitive advantage. There can be no assurance that the Company will not      
become subject to patent infringement claims or litigation in a court of law, or
interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark     
Office ("USPTO") to determine the priority of inventions or an opposition to a  
patent grant in a foreign jurisdiction. The defense and prosecution of          
intellectual property suits, USPTO interference or opposition proceedings and   
related legal and administrative proceedings and related legal and              
administrative proceedings are both costly and time-consuming. Any litigation,  
opposition or interference proceedings will result in substantial expense to the
Company and significant diversion of effort by the Company's technical and      
management personnel. An adverse determination in litigation or interference    
proceedings to which the Company may become a party could subject the Company to
significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed
from third parties or require the Company to cease using such technology.       
Although patent and intellectual property disputes in the medical device area   
have often been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, costs        
associated with such arrangements may be substantial and could include ongoing  
royalties. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that necessary licenses from  
others would be available to the Company on satisfactory terms, if at all.      
Adverse determinations in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to 
obtain necessary licenses could prevent the Company from manufacturing and      
selling its products, which would have a material adverse effect on the         
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company  
is aware of certain patents owned or licensed by others and relating to cardiac 
catheters and cardiac monitoring. Certain enhancements of the Company's products
are still in the design and pre-clinical testing phase. Depending on the        
ultimate design specifications and results of pre-clinical testing of these     
enhancements, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain
a license to such patents or that a court would find that such patents are      
either not infringed by such enhancements or are invalid. Further, there can be 
no assurance that owners or

licensees of these patents will not attempt to enforce their patent rights      
against the Company in a patent infringement suit or other legal proceeding,    
regardless of the likely outcome of such suit or proceeding.                    

COMPETITION                                                                     

   At present, the Company considers its primary competition to be companies
involved in current, more established therapies for the treatment of cardiac    
arrhythmias, including drugs, external electrical cardioversion and             
defibrillation, implantable defibrillators, ablation accompanied by pacemaker   
implantation and open-heart surgery. In addition, several competitors are also  
developing new approaches and new products for the treatment and mapping of     
cardiac arrhythmias, including ablation systems using ultrasound, microwave,    
laser and cryoablation technologies and mapping systems using contact mapping,  
single-point spatial mapping and non-contact, multisite electrical mapping      
technologies. Many of the Company's competitors have an established presence in 
the field of interventional cardiology and electrophysiology, including Boston  
Scientific Corporation, C.R. Bard, Inc., Johnson and Johnson, St. Jude Medical, 
Medtronic, Inc. and Endocardial Solutions, Inc. Many of these competitors have  
substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company, including 
larger research and development staffs and more experience and capabilities in  
conducting research and development activities, testing products in clinical    
trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and manufacturing, marketing and         
distributing products. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed  
in developing and marketing technologies and products that are more clinically  
efficacious and cost-effective than the more established treatments or the new  
approaches and products developed and marketed by its competitors. Furthermore, 
there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in developing new       
technologies and products that are available prior to its competitors' products.
The failure of the Company to demonstrate the efficacy and cost effective       
advantages of its products over those of its competitors or the failure to      
develop new technologies and products before its competitors could have a       
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and      
results of operations.                                                          

     The Company believes that the primary competitive factors in the market for
cardiac ablation and mapping devices are safety, efficacy, ease of use and      
price. In addition, the length of time required for products to be developed and
to receive regulatory and, in some cases, reimbursement approval is an important
competitive factor. The medical device industry is characterized by rapid and   
significant technological change. Accordingly, the Company's success will depend
in part on its ability to respond quickly to medical and technological changes  
through the development and introduction of new products. Product development   
involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that the Company's 
new product development efforts will result in any commercially successful      
products. The Company believes it competes favorably with respect to these      
factors, although there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do  
so.                                                                             

GOVERNMENT REGULATION                                                           

United States                                                               

     The design, pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, sale,
distribution and promotion of the Company's products are subject to regulation  
by numerous governmental authorities, principally the FDA and corresponding     
state and foreign regulatory agencies. Noncompliance with applicable            
requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civil       
penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of        
production, failure of the government to grant clearance or approval for        
devices, withdrawal of marketing authorizations, a recommendation by the FDA    
that the Company not be permitted to enter into government contracts and        
criminal prosecution. The FDA also has the authority to request repair,         
replacement or refund of the cost of any device manufactured or distributed by  
the Company.                                                                    

In the United States, medical devices are classified into one of three
classes, Class I, II or III, on the basis of the controls deemed by the FDA to  
be necessary to reasonably ensure their safety and effectiveness. Class I       
devices are subject to general controls (e.g., labeling, premarket notification 
and adherence to current QSR). Class II devices are subject to general controls 
and to special controls (e.g., performance standards, postmarket surveillance,  
patient registries and FDA guidelines). Generally, Class III devices (e.g.,     
life-sustaining, life-supporting and implantable devices or new devices which   
have not been found substantially

equivalent to legally marketed devices), are those that require clinical testing
to assure safety and effectiveness and FDA approval prior to marketing and      
distribution.                                                                   

 Before a new device can be introduced into the market, the manufacturer
must generally obtain marketing clearance through a premarket notification under
Section 510(k) of the FDC Act or an approval of a PMA application under Section 
515 of the FDC Act. A 510(k) clearance typically will be granted if the         
submitted information establishes that the proposed device is "substantially    
equivalent" to a legally marketed Class I or II medical device. A 510(k)        
notification must contain information to support a claim of substantial         
equivalence, which may include laboratory test results or the results of        
clinical studies of the device in humans. Commercial distribution of a device   
for which a 510(k) clearance is required can only begin after the FDA issues an 
order finding the device to be "substantially equivalent" to a predicate device.
The FDA recently has been requiring a more rigorous demonstration of substantial
equivalence than in the past and is more likely to require the submission of    
human clinical trial data. Based upon industry and FDA publications, the Company
believes that it generally takes from four to twelve months from the date of    
submission to obtain a clearance of a 510(k) submission, but it may take longer.
The FDA may determine that a proposed device is not substantially equivalent to 
a legally marketed device or that additional information is needed before a     
substantial equivalence determination can be made. A "not substantially         
equivalent" determination, or a request for additional information, could delay 
the market introduction of new products that fall into this category.           

A PMA application must be supported by valid scientific evidence that 
typically includes extensive data including pre-clinical and clinical trial data
to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the device. If human clinical trials  
of a device are required and the device presents a "significant risk," the      
sponsor of the trial (usually the manufacturer or the distributor of the device)
is required to file an Investigational Device Exception ("IDE") application with
the FDA prior to commencing human clinical trials. The IDE application must be  
supported by data, typically including the results of animal and laboratory     
testing. If the IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more          
appropriate institutional review boards ("IRBs"), human clinical trials may     
begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of   
patients as approved by the FDA. If the device presents a "nonsignificant risk" 
to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval 
for the study by one or more appropriate IRBs without the need for FDA approval.
Sponsors of clinical trials are permitted to sell investigational devices       
distributed in the course of the study provided such compensation does not      
exceed recovery of the costs of manufacture, research, development and handling.
An IDE supplement must be submitted to and approved by the FDA before a sponsor 
or an investigator may make a change to the investigational device or plan that 
may affect its scientific soundness or the rights, safety or welfare of human   
subjects.                                                                       

Modifications to a device that is the subject of an approved PMA, its 
labeling or manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA of PMA        
supplements or a new PMA. Supplements to a PMA often require the submission of  
the same type of information required for an initial PMA, except that the       
supplement is generally limited to that information needed to support the       
proposed change from the product covered by the original PMA                    

Any devices manufactured or distributed by the Company pursuant to FDA
clearances or approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by   
FDA and certain state agencies, including record keeping requirements and       
reporting of adverse experiences with the use of the device.                    

Current FDA enforcement policy prohibits the marketing of cleared or  
approved medical devices for unapproved uses. Labeling and promotional          
activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain circumstances, by 
the FTC. FDA enforcement policy strictly prohibits the marketing of FDA cleared 
or approved medical devices for unapproved or "off-label" uses. The Company also
is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as
safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire
hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances.   
There can be no assurance that the Company will not be required to incur        
significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the future or that
such laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect upon the       
Company's ability to do business.

  Manufacturers of medical devices intended for distribution in the United
States are required to adhere to applicable regulations setting forth detailed  
QSR requirements, which include testing, control and documentation requirements.
Manufactures are also required to register their establishments with the FDA,   
and to submit device listing information regarding the devices marketed in the  
United States. Manufacturers must also comply with Medical Device Reporting     
("MDR") requirements that a firm report to FDA any incident in which its product
may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or in which its    
product malfunctioned and, if the malfunction were to recur, it would be likely 
to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury.                            

    The Company has received a device manufacturing license from the CDHS. The
Company is subject to routine inspection by FDA and the CDHS for compliance with
QSR requirements, MDR requirements and other applicable regulations. FDA has    
implemented the QSR, including design control requirements, which will likely   
increase the cost of compliance. Changes in existing requirements or adoption of
new requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition, and results of operation. There can be no assurance that   
the Company will not incur significant costs to comply with laws and regulations
in the future or that laws and regulations will not have a material adverse     
effect upon the Company's business, financial condition or results of operation.

INTERNATIONAL                                                         

     In order for the Company to market its products in Europe and certain other
foreign jurisdictions, the Company must obtain required regulatory approvals and
otherwise comply with extensive regulations regarding safety and manufacturing  
processes and quality. These regulations, including the requirements for        
approvals to market and the time required for regulatory review, vary from      
country to country. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain      
regulatory approvals in such countries or that it will not be required to incur 
significant costs in obtaining or maintaining its foreign regulatory approvals. 
Delays in receipt of approvals to market the Company's products, failure to     
receive these approvals or future loss of previously received approvals could   
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition   
and results of operations.                                                      

   The time required to obtain approval for sale in foreign countries may be
longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval and the requirements may  
differ. Export sales of medical devices that have not received FDA marketing    
authorization are subject to FDA export requirements. In accordance with the FDA
Export Reform & Enforcement Act of 1996, such devices may be exported to any    
country provided that the device meets a number of criteria including marketing 
authorization in one of the "Tier I" countries identified in that Act. If the   
device has no marketing authorization in a Tier I country, and is intended for  
marketing, it may be necessary to obtain approval from the FDA to export the    
device. In order to obtain export approval, the Company may be required to      
provide the FDA with documentation from the medical device regulatory authority 
of the country in which the study is to be conducted or the purchaser is        
located, stating that the device has the approval of the country. In addition,  
the FDA must find that the exportation of the device is not contrary to the     
public health and safety of the country in order for the Company to obtain the  
permit. The Company currently has marketing authorization in one or more Tier I 
countries for all its clinically used products.                                 

The European Union has promulgated rules, which require that medical  
devices bear the CE mark, an international symbol of adherence to quality       
assurance standards and compliance with applicable European medical device      
directives. Quality system certification is one of the CE mark requirements. The
Company has received ISO9001/EN46001 certification from its ISO Certification   
Registrar for its manufacturing facility in Sunnyvale, California. Furthermore, 
in January 1998, the Company received the right to affix the CE mark to its     
Chilli Cooled Ablation System. In April 1998, the Company received the right to 
affix the CE mark to its Radii-T catheters. In July 1998, the Company received  
the right to affix the CE mark to its Trio/Ensemble catheters. In April 2000,   
the Company received CE mark certification for the RPM Tracking System, and for 
its Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters incorporating Real-time Position Management
navigation technology. While the Company intends to satisfy the requisite       
policies and procedures that will permit it to receive the CE Mark Certification
for other products, there can be no assurance that the Company will be          
successful in

meeting the European certification requirements and failure to receive the right
to affix the CE mark will prohibit the Company from selling these and other     
products in member countries of the European Union. See "-- Manufacturing."     

    The Company has sold RPM Tracking Systems to Japan Lifeline, the Company's
distributor in Japan, who is advancing the regulatory approval process for RPM  
in that market.                                                                 

THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT AND UNCERTAINTY RELATED TO HEALTH CARE REFORM         

In the United States, health care providers, including hospitals and  
physicians, that purchase medical products for treatment of their patients,     
generally rely on third-party payors, principally federal Medicare, state       
Medicaid and private health insurance plans, to reimburse all or a part of the  
costs and fees associated with the procedures performed using these products.   
The Company's success will be dependent upon, among other things, the ability of
health care providers to obtain satisfactory reimbursement from third-party     
payors for medical procedures in which the Company's products are used.         
Third-party payors may deny reimbursement if they determine that a prescribed   
device has not received appropriate regulatory clearances or approvals, is not  
used in accordance with cost-effective treatment methods as determined by the   
payor, or is experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate. If FDA clearance or    
approval is received, third-party reimbursement would also depend upon decisions
by the United States Healthcare Financing Administration (the "HCFA") for       
Medicare, as well as by individual health maintenance organizations, private    
insurers and other payors. Government agencies, private insurers and other      
payors determine whether to provide coverage for a particular procedure and     
reimburse health care providers for medical treatment at a fixed rate based on  
the diagnosis-related group ("DRG") established by the HCFA. The fixed rate of  
reimbursement is based on the procedure performed, and is unrelated to the      
specific type or number of devices used in a procedure. If a procedure is not   
covered by a DRG, payors may deny reimbursement. The Company intends to obtain  
an appropriate Medicare DRG assignment by HCFA for procedures performed using   
its devices. As part of this process, during clinical trials the Company will   
collect economic data regarding resources expended in performing procedures with
the devices. The Company will use these data to document differences in resource
use between procedures performed with the Company's devices and procedures      
currently categorized under existing DRG's. The Company intends to meet with    
HCFA policy staff to request and support development of appropriate hospital    
payment policies for the procedures performed using the Company's devices. In   
addition, the Company may also collect resource use data regarding physician    
services to support establishment of appropriate fee schedules by third-party   
payors. The Company believes these efforts will also support reimbursement among
private payors.                                                                 

  Capital costs for medical equipment purchased by hospitals are currently
reimbursed separately from DRG payments. Federal legislation has reduced capital
cost reimbursements under the Medicare capital cost pass-through system. Such   
reductions have had an adverse impact on reimbursements to hospitals for the    
capital cost of equipment such as the system components of the Company's        
products. There can be no assurance that similar legislation will not be enacted
in the future and, if enacted, that such legislation would not have a material  
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of    
operations.                                                                     

Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by  
country and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be
obtained on a country by country basis. Many international markets have         
government managed health care systems that control reimbursement for new       
products and procedures. In most markets, there are private insurance systems as
well as government managed systems. Market acceptance of the Company's products 
will depend on the availability and level of reimbursement in international     
markets targeted by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will
obtain reimbursement in any country within a particular time, for a particular  
amount, or at all.                                                              

   Regardless of the type of reimbursement system, the Company believes that
physician advocacy of the Company's products will be required to obtain         
reimbursement. The Company believes that less invasive procedures generally     
provide less costly overall therapies as compared to conventional drug, surgery 
and other treatments. In addition, the Company believes that a patient's        
underlying arrhythmias will typically not recur after treatment with the        
Company's procedures. The Company anticipates that hospital administrators and  

18

physicians would justify the use of the Company's products by the attendant cost
savings and clinical benefits that the Company believes would be derived from   
the use of its products. However, there can be no assurance that this will be   
the case. There can be no assurance that reimbursement for the Company's        
products will be available in the United States or in international markets     
under either government or private reimbursement systems, or that physicians    
will support and advocate reimbursement procedures using the Company's products.
Failure by hospitals and other users of the Company's products to obtain        
reimbursement from third-party payors, or changes in government and private     
third-party payors' policies toward reimbursement for procedures employing the  
Company's products, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's       
business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the Company  
is unable to predict what additional legislation or regulation, if any, relating
to the health care industry or third-party coverage and reimbursement may be    
enacted in the future, or what effect such legislation or regulation would have 
on the Company.                                                                 

 Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the health
care industry in the United States to fundamental change. The Company           
anticipates that Congress, state legislatures and the private sector will       
continue to review and assess health care delivery and payment systems.         
Potential approaches that have been considered include mandated basic health    
care benefits, controls on health care spending through limitations on the      
growth of private health insurance premiums and Medicare and Medicaid spending, 
the creation of large insurance purchasing groups, price controls and other     
fundamental changes to the health care delivery system. Legislative debate is   
expected to continue in the future, and market forces are expected to demand    
reduced costs. The Company cannot predict what impact the adoption of any       
federal or state health care reform measures, future private sector reform or   
market forces may have on its business.                                         

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE                                                 

The development, manufacture and sale of medical products entail      
significant risk of product liability claims and product failure claims. The    
Company has only limited commercial sales to date and does not yet have, and    
will not have for a number of years, sufficient data to allow the Company to    
measure the risk of such claims with respect to its products. The Company faces 
an inherent business risk of financial exposure to product liability claims in  
the event that the use of its products results in personal injury or death. The 
Company also faces the possibility that defects in the design or manufacture of 
the Company's products might necessitate a product recall. There can be no      
assurance that the Company will not experience losses due to product liability  
claims or recalls in the future. The Company currently maintains product        
liability insurance with coverage limits of $5.0 million per occurrence and $5.0
million annually in the aggregate and there can be no assurance that the        
coverage limits of the Company's insurance policies will be adequate. In        
addition, the Company may require increased product liability coverage as       
commercialization of its products evolves. Such insurance is expensive,         
difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, 
or at all. Any claims against the Company regardless of their merit or eventual 
outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business,       
financial condition and results of operations.                                  

EMPLOYEES                                                                       

  As of June 30, 2000, the Company had 141 full-time employees, 22 of whom
were engaged directly in research, development, regulatory and clinical         
activities, 73 in manufacturing and quality assurance and 46 in marketing,      
sales, and administrative positions. No employee of the Company is covered by   
collective bargaining agreements, and the Company believes that its relationship
with its employees is good.                                                     

   The Company has undergone significant changes in management during fiscal
2000. Our new Chief Executive Officer, Tom Prescott, rebuilt our entire senior  
management team with experienced people for sales and marketing, operations,    
finance and human resources, who in turn hired new personnel into their         
respective areas of operation. We were able to retain an outstanding Vice       
President of Research and Development who has been with the company since 1992. 

   The Company's ability to operate successfully depends in significant part
upon the continued service of certain key scientific, technical, clinical,      
regulatory and managerial personnel, and its continuing ability to              

19

attract and retain additional highly qualified scientific, technical, clinical, 
regulatory and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, 
and there can be no assurance that the Company can retain such personnel or that
it can attract or retain other highly qualified scientific, technical, clinical,
regulatory and managerial personnel in the future, including key sales and      
marketing personnel. The loss of key personnel or the inability to hire and     
retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the        
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.              

    In addition, in order to manufacture and market its products in increasing
commercial quantities, the Company believes that it will be required to expand  
its operations, particularly in the areas of manufacturing and sales and        
marketing. As the Company expands its operations in these areas, such expansion 
will likely result in new and increased responsibilities for management         
personnel and place significant strain upon the Company's management, operating 
and financial systems and resources. To accommodate any such growth and compete 
effectively, the Company will be required to implement and improve information  
systems, procedures, and controls, and to expand, train, motivate and manage its
work force. The Company's future success will depend to a significant extent on 
the ability of its current and future management personnel to operate           
effectively, both independently and as a group. There can be no assurance that  
the Company's personnel systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to    
support the Company's future operations.

     As of September 22, 2000, there were approximately 148 holders of record of
the Common Stock.                                                               

     The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital common
stock. The Company currently expects to retain its future earnings for use in   
the operation and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying any  
cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. As documented in the  
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, when, as and if        
dividends are declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, the holders of 
the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive      
cumulative dividends at a rate per share equal to 11% per annum of the initial  
purchase price of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock before any     
dividend or other distribution will be paid or declared and set apart for       
payment on any shares of common stock or other class of stock junior to the     
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event that (i) the Company has not 
redeemed the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock prior to May 2004 and (ii) the
holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have requested such a           
redemption, the cumulative dividend will increase by six percentage points each 
full year after May 2004 in which a redemption does not occur. In addition, the 
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Series B Convertible Preferred 
Stock, voting as a separate class, will be required to declare or pay any       
dividends on the common stock.                                                  

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities                                     

In July 1999, the Company's stockholders authorized and the Company   
completed a $32 million offering of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at     
$1,000 per share to a group of accredited investors. In connection with this    
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock financing, the Company raised $31.5        
million, net of issuance costs. In June 2000, one of the holders of Series B    
Convertible Preferred Stock converted 5,000 shares of Series B Convertible      
Preferred Stock into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The 1,000,000 shares of  
common stock were issued as unregistered common stock to an affiliate of the    
Company subject to regulatory restrictions and holding period requirements. The 
remaining 27,250 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible 
at the option of the holders into 5.45 million shares of the Company's Common   
Stock.

     This table does not give effect to the issuance of warrants to purchase 300
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 60,000 shares  
of common stock) in connection with interim funding provided to the Company.    

The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to   
significant rights, preferences and privileges as a result of their investment. 

 The two largest holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock control
three of the five seats (60%) on the board of directors. The members of the     
Company's board of directors include Thomas M. Prescott, President and CEO of   
the Company, Mark J. Brooks, Anchie Y. Kuo, M.D., M. Fazle Husain, nominees of  
the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and William N. Starling, a  
former director, chief executive officer and president of the Company. The      
consent of the directors nominated by the holders of the Series B Convertible   
Preferred Stock will be required to increase the number of directors above the  
number currently in office.                                                     

    Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 200
shares of common stock. The conversion ratio of the Series B Convertible        
Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment for price based antidilution.          

As documented in the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase    
Agreement, the holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a 
cumulative dividend, when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the  
Company, at a rate per share equal to 11% annum of the initial purchase price of
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series B Convertible Preferred    
Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the initial purchase price plus     
accrued dividends upon the occurrence of a liquidation, a merger or the sale of 
all or substantially all of the Company's stock or assets. As a result of the   
liquidation preference, in the event of a liquidation, merger or the sale of    
substantially all of the Company's stock or assets, the holders of Series B     
Convertible Preferred Stock will receive their original purchase price plus any 
accrued dividends prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock, or  
any class of stock junior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. After    
such a distribution payment, any remaining proceeds will be distributed ratably 
among the holders of common stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.     

     The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock vote on all matters
presented to stockholders on an as-converted to common stock basis. In addition,
the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Series B Convertible       
Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be required to:               

 1. Amend or repeal any provision, or add any provision to the Company's
       certificate of incorporation or by laws which changes the rights of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.                           

    2. Increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total
number of authorized shares of preferred stock or common stock:

       stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons
 performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to
    agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such
        shares at cost or at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as

 The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have a right of
first offer with respect to future financings by the Company.                   

   The holders of 45% of the then outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock will have the right to request that the Company register the shares of    
common stock into which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible
after May 21, 2000. In addition, if the Company otherwise registers shares of   
Company common stock, the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock   
will be entitled to participate in the registration.                            

  The foregoing transaction did not involve any underwriters, underwriting
discounts or commissions or any public offering, and we believe that each       
transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act 
by virtue of Section 4 (2) thereof or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The  
recipients in such transactions represented their intention to acquire the      
securities for investment only and not with a view to or for resale in          
connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed  
to the share certificates and instruments issued in such transactions. All      
recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to         
information about us.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS                                                                   

   The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from    
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain    
factors that include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in "Factors   
That May Impact Future Operations" as well as those discussed in the following  
"Overview" section. These forward-looking statements include the statement in   
the first paragraph of "Overview" relating to the expectations of operating     
losses, the statements in the second paragraph of "Overview" relating to the    
range of clinical utility for the RPM Tracking System and the potential         
reduction in procedure times, the statements in the fourth paragraph of         
"Overview" relating to the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of the     
Company's products, the statements in the last two sentences of "Cost of Goods  
Sold" relating to the expectations for gross margins, the statements in the last
sentence of the first paragraph of "Impact of Adoption of New Accounting        
Standards" regarding FAS 133, the statements in the last sentence of the second 
paragraph of "Impact of Adoption of New Accounting Standards" regarding SAB 101,
the statements in the second paragraph of "Liquidity and Capital Resources"     
regarding the Company's expected liquidity and capital needs, the statements in 
the last sentence of the fourth paragraph of "Liquidity and Capital Resources"  
regarding the Company's expected capital expenditures, the statements in the    
section of "Factors That May Impact Future Operations" entitled "Limited        
Operating History, History of Losses and Expectations of Future Losses" relating
to expectations of operating losses and the statement in the third paragraph in 
the section of "Factors That May Impact Future Operations" entitled "Employees" 
relating to the Company's need to expand its operations and hire new personnel. 

OVERVIEW                                                                        

     The Company is currently shifting from a broad-based research & development
(R&D) and clinical development oriented company to one focused on expansion of  
marketing, sales, distribution, customer support and manufacturing capacity. The
Company has experienced significant operating losses since inception and as of  
June 30, 2000 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $96.4 million. During 
the year, the Company has seen significant increases in revenues from sales of  
the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter in the U.S. and Europe, and sales increases 
of the Radii-T mapping and ablation catheter in Japan. Sales of the             
Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters to international customers have remained     
relatively constant during fiscal 2000. The Mercator diagnostic mapping baskets 
and related equipment have been discontinued in order for the Company to focus  
its resources on its two platforms; the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter and the 
new RPM Tracking System. The Company expects to continue operating at a loss at 
least through the end of fiscal year 2002 as it continues to expend substantial 
funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities and to expand its
sales and marketing activities.                                                 

    The Company received FDA 510(k) clearance in March 2000 to begin marketing
the RPM Tracking System. This technology, developed by the Company, can be used 
in many diagnostic electrophysiology procedures for real-time three dimensional 
visualization of catheters utilizing ultrasound technology. The RPM Tracking    
system is expected to assist physicians in precisely manipulating catheters     
within the heart during procedures, offering the potential for reductions in    
procedure times and improved economic benefit to the hospital and physician.    

  In March 2000, the Company also received FDA PMA approval for the Chilli
Cooled Ablation Catheter, incorporating the Company's Real-time Position        
Management navigation technology for dynamic real-time catheter navigation and  
visualization. The Chilli PMA includes approval for the new 7 French platform   
with a bi-directional steering capability. New models for the Chilli with and   
without the RPM navigation visualization technology were approved within the    
PMA. In addition, the Company has received CE mark approval to market the RPM   
Tracking System, and reference and ablation catheters incorporating RPM tracking
technology in Europe.                                                           

 For the Company's products that have recently obtained FDA clearance or
approval, there can be no assurance that any such products will be successfully 
commercialized or that the Company will achieve significant revenues from either
domestic or international sales. Although the FDA granted 510k clearance for

the RPM Tracking System and PMA approval for the Chilli Cooled Ablation         
Catheters with RPM tracking, the Company has limited experience in              
manufacturing, marketing or selling these products in commercial quantities. In 
order to successfully implement its business plan, the Company must manufacture 
and sell the RPM and Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters in commercial quantities  
and the Company will need to expend significant capital resources and develop   
manufacturing expertise to establish large-scale manufacturing capabilities.    
Manufacturers often encounter difficulties in scaling up production of new      
products, including problems involving production yields, quality control and   
assurance, component supply shortages, shortages of qualified personnel,        
compliance with FDA regulations, and the need for further FDA approval of new   
manufacturing processes. The Company intends to market its products primarily   
through a direct sales force in the United States and indirect sales channels   
internationally. Establishing a marketing and sales capability sufficient to    
support sales in commercial quantities will require significant management and  
financial resources. See "-- Factors That May Impact Future Operations."        

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                                           

YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999                                    

     Net Sales. The Company's net sales increased 55% to $6.8 million for fiscal
2000 compared to $4.4 million for fiscal 1999. During the year, the Company saw 
significant increases in revenue from sales of the Chilli Cooled Ablation       
Catheter and sales of the Radii-T mapping and ablation catheter. Sales for the  
Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter increased 157% and the Radii-T sales increased  
by 48%. Sales of the Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters to international        
customers have remained constant during fiscal 2000. Increases in sales for all 
catheters year over year were primarily related to unit volume increases rather 
than price changes.                                                             

   In December 1995, the Company received $3.0 million pursuant to a royalty
agreement with Arrow International Inc. ("Arrow"). This amount was recorded as  
deferred royalty income and will be amortized to income for those Trio/Ensemble 
catheters that Arrow manufactures and sells or, at a minimum, ratably over the  
period for which the related technology patents expire. $300,000 of royalty     
income related to the Arrow agreement was recognized in fiscal 2000.            

 Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold primarily includes raw materials
costs, catheter fabrication costs, system assembly costs and test costs. Cost of
goods sold was $6.9 million and $4.2 million for fiscal 2000 and 1999,          
respectively. Cost of goods sold for fiscal 2000 included approximately $250,000
of costs associated with discontinuing the Mercator Atrial Mapping Basket       
product line, approximately $450,000 of costs associated with introduction of   
the RPM product line and production increases for the Chilli product line. Gross
margins were approximately break-even for fiscal 2000 and $200,000 for fiscal   
1999. The Company expects that its gross margins will continue to be impacted   
negatively by the cost of bringing the RPM products on line during fiscal 2001. 
Cardiac Pathways is currently implementing manufacturing process improvements,  
including redesigning the labor work-area for greater efficiency and commencing 
enhanced assembly training programs. The impact of these improvements together  
with increases in product volume, process yield improvements and material cost  
reduction programs are expected to have positive effects on gross margins.      

   Research and Development. Research and development expenses include costs
associated with product research, clinical trials, prototype development, design
and testing, and costs associated with obtaining regulatory approvals. Research 
and development expenses decreased 43% to $6.9 million for fiscal 2000 from     
$12.1 million for fiscal 1999. The decrease in research and development expenses
was primarily attributable to a reduction in the number of engineering projects 
underway as the Company concentrated its activities on the development,         
refinement and launch of the RPM Tracking System and the new Chilli Cooled      
Ablation Catheter.                                                              

  Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include compensation and benefits for sales, marketing, senior         
management and administrative personnel, various legal and professional fees    
including those in connection with obtaining patent protection, and costs of    
trade shows. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $10.1    
million for fiscal 2000 from $6.7 million for

fiscal 1999. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses       
resulted primarily from increased marketing and sales infrastructure supporting 
the North America and European markets.                                         

   Other Income (Expense), Net. Net other income was $0.7 million for fiscal
2000 compared to $0.1 million for fiscal 1999. Relative increases in net other  
income during fiscal 2000 compared to the prior year was the result of increased
interest income on significantly higher cash, cash equivalent and short-term    
investment balances.                                                            

  Net Loss. The net loss applicable to common stockholders for fiscal 2000
was $20.6 million or $10.05 per share compared to a net loss of $18.6 million or
$9.34 for fiscal 1999.                                                          

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards. As of June 30, 2000, the Company's  
reported net operating loss carryforwards were approximately $89.6 million and  
$14.5 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively.          

                                                                [Download Table]
                                                                         
2007........................................................  $ 1,030,000
2008........................................................    3,350,000
2009........................................................    7,300,000
2010........................................................    9,100,000

2019........................................................   18,200,000
2020........................................................   16,300,000

 In addition, the net operating loss carryforwards are subject to annual
limitations as a result of the code's ownership change provisions.              

Impact of Adoption of New Accounting Standards.                             

   In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 (FAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging           
Activities" which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15,   
2000. The Company has not in the past used, and does not anticipate in the      
future using, derivative instruments, and the Company does not expect that the  
adoption of FAS 133 will have a significant impact on its financial condition or
results of operations.                                                          

 In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
("SAB 101") that must be adopted in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. SAB 101    
summarizes certain areas of the Staff's views in applying generally accepted    
accounting principles to revenue in financial statements. Although the Company  
believes that its current revenue recognition principles comply with SAB 101,   
additional guidance is expected to be issued by the SEC staff and the Company   
will evaluate the affect of adopting SAB 101 at that point.                     

YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998                                    

   Net Sales. The Company's net sales in fiscal 1999 resulted primarily from
limited sales of Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters, Radii supra ventricular      
tachycardia mapping and ablation catheters, Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters, 
Mercator mapping baskets, Radio frequency Generator Systems and Arrhythmia      
Mapping Systems. The Company's net sales increased to $4.4 million in fiscal    
1999 compared to $2.4 million for fiscal 1998. The net increase in sales for    
fiscal 1999 primarily resulted from sales of Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters in
the U.S. market following commercial release in the third quarter of fiscal     
1999. In addition, the Company had increased sales of Chilli and Radii catheters
in Europe reflecting the establishment of certain distributor arrangements in   
fiscal 1999, particularly in Germany, France and Spain. The Company also        
recorded higher overall sales of Radii and Trio/Ensemble catheters in Japan     
during the year. In December 1995, the Company received $3.0 million pursuant to
a royalty agreement with Arrow. This amount was recorded as deferred royalty    
income and will be amortized to income for those Trio/Ensemble catheters that   

28

Arrow manufactures and sells. The royalty rate is 5% of the Trio/Ensemble       
catheter's sales price. In fiscal 1999, the Company began to amortize deferred  
royalty income on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the related 
technology patents. A total of $369,138 of royalty income related to the        
agreement has been recorded through June 30, 1999, of which $300,000 was        
recognized in fiscal 1999.                                                      

 Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold primarily includes raw materials
costs, catheter fabrication costs, and system assembly and test costs. Cost of  
goods sold was $4.2 million for fiscal 1999 and resulted in a gross margin of   
$157,000. For fiscal 1998, cost of goods sold was $2.8 million and resulted in a
gross margin deficit of $408,000. The increase in the gross margin for fiscal   
1999 compared to fiscal 1998 was primarily due to increased sales volumes,      
changes in sales mix and improved manufacturing yields. These improvements were 
offset in part by increased overhead and training costs for manufacturing       
personnel, higher costs associated with quality control and manufacturing       
engineering activities to support higher production volumes.                    

   Research and Development. Research and development expenses include costs
associated with product research, clinical trials, prototype development, design
and testing, and costs associated with obtaining regulatory approvals. Research 
and development expenses decreased to $12.1 million in fiscal 1999 compared to  
$14.4 million in fiscal 1998. The decrease in research and development expenses 
was primarily attributable to decreased costs related to clinical trials of the 
Chilli catheter for which patient enrollment was completed in December 1997, and
decreased costs reflecting an overall smaller research and development          
organization. The decreases were offset in part by increased costs associated   
with consulting services, facilities and certain equipment costs during fiscal  
1999 associated with various clinical programs.                                 

  Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include compensation and benefits for sales, marketing, senior         
management and administrative personnel, various legal and professional fees    
including those in connection with obtaining patent protection, and costs of    
trade shows. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6.7     
million in fiscal 1999 compared to $4.1 million in fiscal 1998. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher expenditures for sales and marketing personnel 
and services to support expanding international and domestic sales, marketing   
and customer service activities and increased costs associated with             
demonstration units and product marketing materials.                            

   Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net decreased to net
other income of $77,000 in fiscal 1999 from net other income of $1.4 million in 
fiscal 1998. The reduction in net other income was the result of decreased      
interest income on significantly lower cash, cash equivalent and short-term     
investment balances.                                                            

    Net Loss. The Company's net loss increased to $18.6 million in fiscal 1999
compared to $17.5 million in fiscal 1998.                                       

  The increase in the Company's net loss primarily resulted from increased
selling, general and administrative expenses and lower interest income, which   
were offset in part by increased overall sales volumes and gross margins and    
decreased clinical research and product development costs.                      

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES                                                 

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through a    
combination of private placements of equity securities yielding $33.5 million,  
equipment lease financing arrangements yielding $4.0 million and a prepaid      
royalty arrangement yielding $3.0 million. In addition, the Company closed its  
initial public offering in June 1996 and raised net proceeds of $43.1 million.  
In July 1999, the Company raised net proceeds of $31.5 million through a Series 
B Convertible Preferred Stock financing. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had   
$12.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.             

     The Company's liquidity and capital requirements are such that in order for
the Company to continue to manufacture, develop and market its core products,   
the Company will be required to raise additional funds through public or private
financing, collaborative relationships or other arrangements prior to the end of
fiscal 2001. There can be no assurance that such additional funding will be     
available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Furthermore, any       
additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing,
if available, may involve additional restrictive covenants. Collaborative       
arrangements with a capital

raising component may require the Company to relinquish its rights to certain of
its technologies, products or marketing territories. The failure of the Company 
to raise capital when needed will have a material adverse effect on the         
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The factors  
described in the next section, "Factors That May Impact Future Operations" and  
elsewhere in this Report will impact the Company's future capital requirements  
and the adequacy of its available funds.                                        

    Net cash used in operating activities was $14.1 million, $18.4 million and
$16.8 million in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For each of these    
periods, the net cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from net  
losses. Net cash used in investing activities was $8.2 million for fiscal 2000, 
and net cash provided by investing activities was $16.7 million and $17.7       
million in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net cash used and provided by    
investing activities resulted primarily from purchases, maturities and sales of 
short-term investments, offset in part by purchases of equipment and licenses.  
Net cash provided by financing activities was $28.4 million and $1.3 million in 
fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1998, respectively, and net cash used in financing       
activities in fiscal 1999 was $3.2 million. The net cash provided by financing  
activities in fiscal 2000 resulted primarily from the proceeds of the Series B  
Convertible Preferred stock transaction, offset in part by repayment of the     
bridge loan.                                                                    

As of the end of fiscal 2000, the Company had capital equipment of    
approximately $9.6 million, less accumulated depreciation and amortization of   
approximately $6.1 million, to support its product development, manufacturing   
and administrative activities. The Company had financed approximately $4.0      
million from capital lease obligations through fiscal 2000. The Company expects 
capital expenditures to increase over the next several years as it acquires     
equipment to support manufacturing and development activities.                  

FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT FUTURE OPERATIONS                                       

 Limited Operating History; History of Losses and Expectation of Future Losses

The Company was founded in 1991 and to date has engaged primarily in  
researching, developing, testing and obtaining regulatory clearances for its    
products. The Company has experienced significant operating losses since        
inception. As the end of fiscal 2000, the Company had an accumulated deficit of 
$96.4 million. To date, the Company has generated only limited revenues from    
sales of its products and expects its operating losses to continue through at   
least the end of fiscal 2002 as it continues to expend funds to conduct its     
research and development activities, establish commercial-scale manufacturing   
capabilities and expand its sales and marketing activities. There can be no     
assurance that any of the Company's products for diagnosis and treatment of     
ventricular tachycardia and other arrhythmias, particularly the RPM Tracking    
System or Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter, will be successfully commercialized  
or that the Company will achieve significant revenues from either international 
or domestic sales. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will 
achieve or sustain profitability in the future or meet the expectations of      
securities industry analysts. The Company's results of operations may fluctuate 
significantly from quarter to quarter or year to year and will depend on        
numerous factors, including actions relating to regulatory matters, progress of 
clinical trials, the extent to which the Company's products gain market         
acceptance, the scale-up of manufacturing abilities and the expansion of sales  
and marketing activities and competition.                                       

No Assurance that Company's Products will Prove to be Safe and Effective    

 There can be no assurance that the Company's current or future products
will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials under applicable United  
States or international regulatory guidelines or that additional modifications  
to the Company's products will not be necessary. Furthermore, there can be no   
assurance that the Company will be successful in perfecting the design of the   
RPM Tracking System. With respect to the Chilli Cooled Ablation System, because 
ablation treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is relatively new, the long-term      
effects of radiofrequency ablation on patients are unknown. As a result, the    
long-term success of ablation therapy in treating ventricular tachycardia and   
other tachyarrhythmias will not be known for several years.

No Existing Market                                                          

The Company's future success will depend upon the successful          
commercialization of the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter and RPM Tracking       
System. These products have only recently received FDA approval and clearance to
be commercialized in the United States for the treatment of certain forms of    
cardiac tachyarrhythmias. The Company has to date demonstrated only limited     
ability to commercialize these new products. There can be no assurance that     
these products will gain any significant degree of market acceptance among      
physicians, patients, and health care payors. The Company believes that         
physicians' acceptance of procedures using the Company's RPM Tracking System    
will be essential for market acceptance of such system. Even though the clinical
efficacy of the system has been established, electrophysiologists, cardiologists
and other physicians may elect not to recommend the use of the RPM Tracking     
System for any number of reasons. There can be no assurance that this system    
will be successfully commercialized for the approved product set in the United  
States and Europe. There can be no assurance of the ability to obtain regulatory
approval in any market where the Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheter and RPM        
Tracking System has not yet received approval. Currently, the Chilli Cooled     
Ablation Catheter and RPM Tracking System have been submitted for regulatory    
approval in Japan. The Company believes that, as with any novel medical         
technology, there will be a significant learning process involved for physicians
to become proficient. Broad use of the system will require training of          
electrophysiologists, and the time required to complete such training could     
adversely affect market acceptance. Failure of the product to achieve           
significant market acceptance would have a material adverse effect on the       
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if the  
RPM Tracking System achieves market acceptance, the Company will be required to 
significantly ramp manufacturing operations to produce sufficient quantities of 
the product to satisfy customer demand. Any failure to manufacture the RPM      
Tracking System in quantities sufficient to satisfy demand will materially      
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of     
operations.                                                                     

Marketing and Distribution                                                  

     Establishing a marketing and sales capability sufficient to support planned
sales growth will require substantial efforts and significant management and    
financial resources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
continue to expand its marketing staff or sales force, that the establishment of
such a marketing staff or sales force will be cost-effective or that the        
Company's sales and marketing efforts will be successful. There can be no       
assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or enter into agreements    
with existing or new distributors, or that such distributors will devote        
adequate resources to selling the Company's products. Failure to establish      
appropriate distribution relationships could have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.          

   The Company currently sells its Chilli Cooled Ablation Catheters, Radii-T
mapping and ablation catheters, Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters and RPM      
Tracking System Products through distributors in certain international markets. 
All sales of the Company's products to date have been denominated in U.S.       
dollars. In addition, the Company plans to market its other products in         
international markets, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals.     
Changes in overseas economic conditions, currency exchange rates, foreign tax   
laws, or tariffs or other trade regulations could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's ability to market its products internationally and therefore on
its business, financial condition and results of operations.                    

We Rely on Major Distributors                                               

   The Company currently relies upon international distributors of specialty
cardiovascular products to market and sell its products. A large percentage of  
the Company's revenues are derived from sales to its Japanese distributor, Japan
Lifeline. Sales to Japan Lifeline accounted for 49%, 52% and 80%, of the        
Company's net sales in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. International  
sales accounted for 67%, 78% and 87% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2000, 
1999 and 1998, respectively. In fiscal 2001, the Company anticipates that Japan 
Lifeline will continue to account for a significant percentage of the Company's 
net sales. The Company also relies on three distributors in Europe for a        
significant portion of its revenues. Ela Medical S.A. ("Ela") covers the        
territory of France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Belgium and Switzerland.    
Curative

EP ("Curative") is the Company's distributor in Germany, while Izasa S.A.       
("Izasa") distributes for the Company in Spain, Canary Islands and Portugal. The
distributor agreement for Japan Lifeline, covering Japan, expires in May 2001.  
The Ela distributor agreement expires in June 2003. The distributor agreements  
for Curative and Izasa both expire in June 2002. If the Company's sales to any  
of its international distributors decline, the Company would experience a       
material decline in revenues. Even if the Company is successful in selling its  
products through new international distributors, the rate of growth of the      
Company's net sales could be materially and adversely effected if its current   
international distributors do not continue to sell a substantial number of the  
Company's products. If the Company's sales to its current international         
distributors decline, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to     
attract additional distributors that can market its products effectively or can 
provide timely and cost-effective customer support and service. None of the     
Company's international distributors are obligated to sell the Company's        
products after its agreement with the Company has expired. Further, the Company 
cannot be certain that its current international distributors will continue to  
represent its products or that they will continue to devote a sufficient amount 
of effort and resources to selling the Company's products.                      

Strategic Relationships                                                     

     The Company intends to pursue strategic relationships with corporations and
research institutions with respect to the research, development, international  
regulatory approval, manufacturing and marketing of certain of its products.    
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in establishing or
maintaining any such relationships or that any such relationship will be        
successful.                                                                     

Manufacturing                                                               

A number of components for the Company's products are provided by sole
source suppliers. For certain of these components, there are relatively few     
alternative sources of supply, and establishing additional or replacement       
vendors for such components could not be accomplished quickly. For some         
components, there is currently a long lead-time between purchases and the       
receipt of shipments. For those components from a single source, the vendor's   
inability to supply such components in a timely manner could have a material    
adverse effect on the Company's ability to manufacture the RPM Tracking System  
and other diagnostic and ablation catheters and therefore on its business,      
financial condition and marketing efforts.                                      

The Company has limited experience manufacturing its products in the  
volumes that will be necessary for the Company to achieve significant commercial
sales, and there can be no assurance that reliable, high volume manufacturing   
capacity can be established or maintained at commercially reasonable costs. The 
Company needs to expend significant capital resources and develop manufacturing 
expertise to establish large scale manufacturing capabilities. Manufacturers    
often encounter difficulties in scaling up production of new products, including
problems involving production yields, quality control and assurance, component  
supply shortages, shortages of qualified personnel, compliance with FDA         
regulations, and the need for further FDA approval of new manufacturing         
processes. In addition, the Company believes that substantial cost reductions in
its manufacturing operations will be required for it to commercialize its       
catheters and systems on a profitable basis. Any inability of the Company to    
establish and maintain large scale manufacturing capabilities would have a      
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and      
results of operations.                                                          

   The Company's manufacturing facilities are subject to periodic inspection
by regulatory authorities, and its operations must undergo QSR compliance       
inspections conducted by the FDA. The Company is required to comply with QSR in 
order to produce products for sale in the United States and with ISO9001/EN46001
standards in order to produce products for sale in Europe. Any failure of the   
Company to comply with QSR or ISO9001/EN46001 standards may result in the       
Company being required to take corrective actions, such as modification of its  
policies and procedures. The Company has been granted by the State of California
the required license to manufacture medical devices. If the Company is unable to
maintain such a license, it would be unable to manufacture or ship any product, 
and such inability would have a material adverse effect on the Company's        
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Patents and Proprietary Rights                                              

   The Company's success will depend in part on its ability to obtain patent
and copyright protection for its products and processes, to preserve its trade  
secrets and to operate without infringing or violating the proprietary rights of
third parties. The patent positions of medical device companies, including those
of the Company, are uncertain and involve complex and evolving legal and factual
questions. The coverage sought in a patent application either can be denied or  
significantly reduced before or after the patent is issued. Consequently, there 
can be no assurance that any patents from pending patent applications or from   
any future patent application will be issued, that the scope of any patent      
protection will exclude competitors or provide competitive advantages to the    
Company, that any of the Company's patents will be held valid if subsequently   
challenged or that others will not claim rights in or ownership of the patents  
and other proprietary rights held by the Company. In addition, there can be no  
assurance that competitors, many of which have substantial resources and have   
made substantial investments in competing technologies, will not seek to apply  
for and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with the Company's 
ability to make, modify, use or sell its products either in the United States or
in international markets. Litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could     
result in substantial cost and uncertainty to the Company, may also be necessary
to enforce patent or other intellectual property rights of the Company or to    
determine the scope and validity of other parties' proprietary rights. There can
be no assurance that the Company will have the financial resources to defend its
patents from infringement or claims of invalidity.                              

     Cardiac Pathways currently holds issued and allowed patents and has pending
patents and applications covering a number of fundamental aspects of the        
Company's Chilli Cooled Ablation System, RPM Tracking System and other products.
The Company owns 64 United States issued patents and 4 foreign issued patents.  
The Company owns exclusive field-of-use license on 26 United States issued      
patents. In addition, the Company has 8 United States pending patent            
applications, of which 2 are licensed. The Company has also filed or licensed 22
corresponding foreign patent applications that are currently pending in Europe  
and/or Japan. Four of the pending foreign patent applications are Patent        
Cooperation Treaty ("PCT") applications, with Europe and Japan as designated    
countries for filing at the national phase. One of the PCT applications is      
licensed. The Company's 64 United States patents expire at various dates ranging
from 2012 to 2020 and the 4 foreign issue patents expire at various dates       
ranging from 2012 to 2015. The exclusive field of use license of 26 United      
States issued patents expires at various dates ranging from 2013 to 2020.       

    The medical device industry has been characterized by extensive litigation
regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and companies in the  
medical device industry have employed intellectual property litigation to gain a
competitive advantage. There can be no assurance that the Company will not      
become subject to patent infringement claims or litigation in a court of law, or
interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark     
Office ("USPTO") to determine the priority of inventions or an opposition to a  
patent grant in a foreign jurisdiction. The defense and prosecution of          
intellectual property suits, USPTO interference or opposition proceedings and   
related legal and administrative proceedings are both costly and time-consuming.
Any litigation, opposition or interference proceedings will result in           
substantial expense to the Company and significant diversion of effort by the   
Company's technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in       
litigation or interference proceedings to which the Company may become a party  
could subject the Company to significant liabilities to third parties, require  
disputed rights to be licensed from third parties or require the Company to     
cease using such technology. Although patent and intellectual property disputes 
in the medical device area have often been settled through licensing or similar 
arrangements, costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial and    
could include ongoing royalties. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that    
necessary licenses from others would be available to the Company on satisfactory
terms, if at all. Adverse determinations in a judicial or administrative        
proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent the Company    
from manufacturing and selling its products, which would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is aware of certain patents owned or licensed by others and relating
to cardiac catheters and cardiac monitoring. Certain enhancements of the        
Company's products are still in the design and pre-clinical testing phase.      
Depending on the ultimate design specifications and results of pre-clinical     
testing of these enhancements, there can be no assurance that the Company would 
be able to obtain a license to such

parties' patents or that a court would find that such patents are either not    
infringed by the Company's enhancements or that the Company's patents are       
invalid. Further, there can be no assurance that owners or licensees of these   
patents will not attempt to enforce their patent rights against the Company in a
patent infringement suit or other legal proceeding, regardless of the likely    
outcome of such suit or proceeding.                                             

Competition                                                                 

   At present, the Company considers its primary competition to be companies
involved in current, more established therapies for the treatment of ventricular
tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, including drugs, external electrical       
cardioversion and defibrillation, implantable defibrillators, ablation          
accompanied by pacemaker implantation and open-heart surgery. In addition,      
several competitors are also developing new approaches and new products for the 
treatment and mapping of ventricular tachycardia and other arrythmias, including
ablation systems using ultrasound, microwave, laser and cryoablation            
technologies and mapping systems using contact mapping, single-point spatial    
mapping and non-contact, multisite electrical mapping technologies. Many of the 
Company's competitors have an established presence in the field of              
interventional cardiology and electrophysiology, including Boston Scientific    
Corporation, C.R. Bard, Inc., Johnson and Johnson, St. Jude Medical, Medtronic, 
Inc. and Endocardial Solutions, Inc. Many competitors have substantially greater
financial and other resources than the Company, including larger research and   
development staffs, more experience, capabilities in conducting research and    
development activities, testing products in clinical trials, obtaining          
regulatory approvals and manufacturing, marketing and distributing products.    
There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in developing and       
marketing technologies and products that are more clinically efficacious and    
cost effective than the more established treatments or the new approaches and   
products developed and marketed by its competitors. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that the Company will succeed in developing new technologies and      
products that are available prior to its competitors' products. The failure of  
the Company to demonstrate the efficacy and cost effective advantages of its    
products over those of its competitors or the failure to develop new            
technologies and products before its competitors, could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The Company believes that the primary competitive factors in the market for
cardiac ablation and mapping devices are safety, efficacy, ease of use and      
price. In addition, the length of time required for products to be developed and
to receive regulatory and, in some cases, third party payor reimbursement       
approval are important competitive factors. The medical device industry is      
characterized by rapid and significant technological change. Accordingly, the   
Company's success will depend in part on its ability to respond quickly to      
medical and technological changes through the development and introduction of   
new products. Product development involves a high degree of risk and there can  
be no assurance that the Company's new product development efforts will result  
in any commercially successful products. The Company believes it competes       
favorably with respect to these factors, although there is no assurance that it 
will be able to continue to do so.                                              

Government Regulation                                                       

United States                                                               

     The design, pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, sale,
distribution and promotion of the Company's products are subject to regulation  
by numerous governmental authorities, principally the FDA and corresponding     
state and foreign regulatory agencies. Noncompliance with applicable            
requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civil       
penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of        
production, failure of the government to grant PMA clearance or PMA approval for
devices, withdrawal of marketing authorization, a recommendation by the FDA that
the Company not be permitted to enter into government contracts and/or criminal 
prosecution. The FDA also has the authority to request repair, replacement or   
refund of the cost of any device manufactured or distributed by the Company.    

    Before a new device can be introduced into the market, a manufacturer must
generally obtain marketing clearance through a premarket notification under     
Section 510(k) of the FDC Act or an approval of a PMA application under Section 
515 of the FDC Act. Commercial distribution of a device for which a 510(k)

clearance is required can begin only after the FDA issues an order finding the  
device to be "substantially equivalent" to a predicate device. If the Company   
cannot establish that a proposed device is substantially equivalent to a legally
marketed predicate device, the Company must seek premarket approval of the      
proposed device from the FDA through the submission of a PMA application.       

     The Company will be required to make a new 510(k) submission for any device
that is cleared through the 510(k) process if the Company modifies or enhances  
the device in a manner that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness, 
or if those changes constitute a major modification in the intended use of the  
device. If the Company cannot establish that a proposed device is substantially 
equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, the Company must seek        
premarket approval of the proposed device from the FDA through the submission of
a PMA application. There can be no assurance that the FDA will act favorably or 
quickly on any of the Company's PMA applications. Significant difficulties and  
costs may be encountered by the Company in its efforts to obtain FDA clearance  
that could delay or preclude the Company from selling its products in the United
States. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the FDA will not request    
additional data or require that the Company conduct further clinical studies,   
causing the Company to incur substantial cost and delay. In addition, there can 
be no assurance that the FDA will not impose strict labeling requirements,      
onerous operator training requirements or other requirements as a condition of  
its PMA approval, any of which could limit the Company's ability to market its  
systems. Labeling and promotional activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA 
and, in certain circumstances, by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"). FDA     
enforcement policy strictly prohibits the marketing of FDA cleared or approved  
medical devices for unapproved uses. Further, if a company wishes to modify a   
product after FDA approval of a PMA, including changes in indications or other  
modifications that could affect safety or efficacy, additional clearances or    
approvals will be required from the FDA. Failure to receive or delays in receipt
of FDA clearances or approvals, including the need for additional clinical      
trials or data as a prerequisite to clearance or approval, or any FDA conditions
that limit the ability of the Company to market its systems, could have a       
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and      
results of operations.                                                          

International                                                               

The European Union has promulgated rules which require that medical   
products distributed after June 14, 1998 bear the CE mark, an international     
symbol of adherence to quality assurance standards and compliance with          
applicable European medical device directives. Quality system certification is  
one of the CE mark requirements. The Company has received ISO9001/EN46001       
certification by its ISO Certification Registrar, one of the CE mark            
certification prerequisites, for its manufacturing facility in Sunnyvale,       
California. Furthermore, in January 1998, the Company received the right to     
affix the CE mark to its Arrhythmia Mapping System and Chilli Cooled Ablation   
System. In April 1998, the Company received the right to affix the CE mark to   
its Radii catheters. In July 1998, the Company received the right to affix the  
CE mark to its Trio/Ensemble catheters. In April 2000, the Company received CE  
mark certification for the RPM tracking system, and for its Chilli Cooled       
Ablation Catheters incorporating Real-time Position Management navigation       
technology. While the Company intends to satisfy the requisite policies and     
procedures that will permit it to receive the CE Mark Certification for other   
products, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in      
meeting the European certification requirements and failure to receive the right
to affix the CE mark will prohibit the Company from selling these and other     
products in member countries of the European Union.                             

   The time required to obtain approval for sale in foreign countries may be
longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval, and the requirements may 
differ. Export sales of medical devices that have not received FDA marketing    
authorization are subject to FDA export requirements. In accordance with the FDA
Export Reform & Enforcement Act of 1996, such devices may be exported to any    
country provided that the device meets a number of criteria including marketing 
authorization in one of the "Tier I" countries identified in that Act. If the   
device has no marketing authorization in a Tier I country, and is intended for  
marketing, it may be necessary to obtain approval from the FDA to export the    
device. In order to obtain export approval, the Company may be required to      
provide the FDA with documentation from the medical device regulatory authority 
of the country in which the study is to be conducted or the purchaser is        
located, stating that the

device has the approval of the country. In addition, the FDA must find that the 
exportation of the device is not contrary to the public health and safety of the
country in order for the Company to obtain the permit. The Company currently has
marketing authorization in one or more Tier I countries for all its clinically  
used products. The RPM Tracking System products are currently undergoing the    
process and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approvals in Japan.  

Third-Party Reimbursement and Uncertainty Related to Health Care Reform     

In the United States, health care providers, including hospitals and  
physicians, that purchase medical products for treatment of their patients,     
generally rely on third party payors, principally federal Medicare, state       
Medicaid and private health insurance plans, to reimburse all or a part of the  
costs and fees associated with the procedures performed using these products.   
The Company's success will be dependent upon, among other things, the ability of
health care providers to obtain satisfactory reimbursement from third party     
payors for medical procedures in which the Company's products are used. Third   
party payors may deny reimbursement if they determine that a prescribed device  
has not received appropriate regulatory clearances or approvals, is not used in 
accordance with cost-effective treatment methods as determined by the payor, or 
is experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate. Third party reimbursement is     
generally provided on the basis of the procedure's DRG code as established by   
the HCFA. The failure of the procedures in which the Company's products are used
or an insufficient level of reimbursements for such procedures would have a     
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and      
results of operations. In addition, medical equipment reimbursements have been  
mandated by statute to be reduced in the past, and there can be no assurance    
that any such reimbursements with respect to the Company's products will be     
adequate or provided at all. Failure by hospitals and other users of the        
Company's products to obtain reimbursement from third party payors, or changes  
in government and private third party payors' policies toward reimbursement for 
procedures employing the Company's products, would have a material adverse      
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, the Company is unable to predict what additional legislation or       
regulation, if any, relating to the health care industry or third party coverage
and reimbursement may be enacted in the future, or what effect such legislation 
or regulation would have on the Company.                                        

Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by  
country and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be
obtained on a country by country basis. Many international markets have         
government managed health care systems that control reimbursement for new       
products and procedures. In most markets, there are private insurance systems as
well as government managed systems. Market acceptance of the Company's products 
will depend on the availability and level of reimbursement in international     
markets targeted by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will
obtain reimbursement in any country within a particular time, for a particular  
amount, or at all.                                                              

   Regardless of the type of reimbursement system, the Company believes that
physician advocacy of the Company's products will be required to obtain         
reimbursement. The Company believes that less invasive procedures generally     
provide less costly overall therapies as compared to conventional drug, surgery 
and other treatments. In addition, the Company believes that treatment with the 
Company's products will be more efficacious than currently available therapies. 
The Company anticipates that hospital administrators and physicians would       
justify the use of the Company's products by the attendant cost savings and     
clinical benefits that the Company believes would be derived from the use of its
products. However, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. There  
can be no assurance that reimbursement for the Company's products will be       
available in the United States or in international markets under either         
government or private reimbursement systems, or that physicians will support and
advocate reimbursement procedures using the Company's products.                 

Product Liability and Insurance                                             

The development, manufacture and sale of medical products entail      
significant risk of product liability claims and product failure claims. The    
Company has only limited commercial sales to date and does not yet have, and    
will not have for a number of years, sufficient clinical data to allow the      
Company to measure the risk of such claims with respect to its products. The    
Company faces an inherent business risk of financial exposure                   
36

to product liability claims in the event that the use of its products results in
personal injury or death. The Company also faces the possibility that defects in
the design or manufacture of the Company's products might necessitate a product 
recall. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience losses   
due to product liability claims or recalls in the future. In addition, the      
Company will require increased product liability coverage if any of its         
potential products are successfully commercialized. Such insurance is expensive,
difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, 
or at all. Any claims against the Company regardless of their merit or eventual 
outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business,       
financial condition and results of operations.                                  

We Rely on a Continuous Power Supply to Conduct Our Operations, and         
California's Current Energy Crisis Could Disrupt Our Operations and Increase Our
Expenses                                                                        

California is in the midst of an energy crisis that could disrupt our 
operations and increase our expenses. In the event of an acute power shortage,  
that is, when power reserves for the State of California fall below 1.5%,       
California has on some occasions implemented, and may in the future continue to 
implement, rolling blackouts throughout California. We currently do not have    
backup generators or alternate sources of power in the event of a blackout, and 
our current insurance does not provide coverage for any damages we or our       
customers may suffer as a result of any interruption in our power supply. If    
blackouts interrupt our power supply, we would be temporarily unable to continue
operations at our facilities. Any such interruption in our ability to continue  
operations at our facilities could damage our reputation, harm our ability to   
retain existing customers and to obtain new customers, and could result in lost 
revenue, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of      
operations.                                                                     

Employees                                                                   

   The Company's ability to operate successfully depends in significant part
upon the continued service of certain key scientific, technical, clinical,      
regulatory and managerial personnel, and its continuing ability to attract and  
retain additional highly qualified scientific, technical, regulatory and        
managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can  
be no assurance that the Company can retain such personnel or that it can       
attract or retain other highly qualified scientific, technical, clinical,       
regulatory and managerial personnel in the future, including key sales and      
marketing personnel. The loss of key personnel or the inability to hire and     
retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the        
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.              

The Company's management has recently gone through a significant      
restructuring. The Company's new President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom     
Prescott, joined the Company in May 1999. In addition, the Company's Chief      
Financial Officer, Vice President, Operations and Vice President, Sales each    
joined the Company in January 2000. The Company also hired a new Vice President 
of Human Resources who joined the Company in July 2000. There can be no         
assurance that these newly hired officers of the Company will be able to operate
effectively with that portion of the management team that was retained.         

   In order to manufacture and market its products in commercial quantities,
the Company believes that it will be required to expand its operations,         
particularly in the areas of manufacturing and sales and marketing and, in      
connection therewith, to hire new personnel to work in these areas. There can be
no assurance that the Company's officers and its sales and marketing personnel  
will be able to build a successful sales force or that they will be able to     
operate effectively with the existing management team. As the Company expands   
its operations in these areas, such expansion will likely result in new and     
increased responsibilities for management personnel and place significant strain
upon the Company's management, operating and financial systems and resources. To
accommodate any such growth and compete effectively, the Company will be        
required to implement and improve information systems, procedures, and controls,
and to expand, train, motivate and manage its work force. Any failure to        
implement and improve the Company's operational, financial and management       
systems or, to expand, train, motivate or manage employees as required by future
growth, if any, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

Potential Volatility of Stock Price                                         

   The market price of shares of Common Stock, like that of the common stock
of many medical product and technology companies, has in the past been, and is  
likely in the future to continue to be highly volatile. Factors such as         
fluctuations in the Company's operating results, proportion of ownership between
common stockholders and Series B Convertible Preferred stockholders,            
announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by the    
Company or competitors, government regulation, changes in the current structure 
of the health care financing and payment systems, developments in or disputes   
regarding patent or other proprietary rights, release of reports by securities  
analysts, change in securities analysts recommendations, economic and other     
external factors and general market conditions may have a significant effect on 
the market price of the Common Stock. Moreover, the stock market has from time  
to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which have            
particularly affected the market prices for medical products and high technology
companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of   
such companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic,   
political and market conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the   
Company's Common Stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the     
market price of a company's stock, securities class action litigation has       
occurred against the issuing company. There can be no assurance that such       
litigation will not occur in the future with respect to the Company. Such       
litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's    
attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the      
Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Any adverse      
determination in such litigation could also subject the Company to significant  
liabilities.                                                                    

Significant Rights attaching to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock        

The Company has 27,250 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 
outstanding which are convertible, at the option of the holders, into 5.45      
million shares of the Company's common stock. The holders of Series B           
Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to significant rights, preferences and 
privileges over holders of common stock including the right to elect three of   
five directors to the board of directors of the Company, to a preferential      
cumulative dividend, to certain redemption rights and to a substantial          
liquidation payment preference over the Company's common stock which is also    
payable upon any transaction or series of transactions (including, without      
limitation, any merger, reorganization or consolidation) involving a transfer of
50% or more of the outstanding voting power of the Company. The holders of      
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are also entitled to certain registration  
rights and enjoy certain protective rights in that their consent is required to 
effect certain corporate transactions including, but not limited to, amending   
the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, issuing common or        
preferred stock, declaring dividends or selling all or substantially all of the 
Company's stock or assets. It is likely that the preferences and rights enjoyed 
by the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have a negative impact   
the market price of the common stock of the Company. Also, if these holders, by 
converting their Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock and then
exercising their registration rights, cause a large number of securities to be  
registered and sold in the public market, such sales could materially and       
adversely affect the market price for the Company's common stock. In addition,  
if the Company were to include in a registration statement shares held by these 
holders pursuant to the exercise of their registration rights, such sales may   
impede the Company's ability to raise needed capital. For a more complete       
description of the rights, preferences and privileges attaching to the Series B 
Convertible Preferred Stock refer to the section of "Item 5. Market for         
Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters" entitled "Recent    
Sales of Unregistered Securities".                                              

Significant Control by Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock      

 The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially own an
aggregate of approximately 63.9% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company 
and are entitled to elect three of five directors to the Company's Board of     
Directors. These stockholders, if acting together, will be able to significantly
influence all matters requiring approval of either the Board of Directors or the
stockholders of the Company, including the approval of significant corporate    
transactions. This concentration of ownership may also delay, deter or prevent  

38

a change in control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible 
to complete without the support of these stockholders.                          

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS            

     The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment
portfolio. The Company places it's investments in instruments that meet high    
credit quality standards as specified in the Company's investment policy. The   
Company also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer or   
type of investment. The Company does not expect any material loss with respect  
to its investment portfolio.                                                    

Market Interest Rate Risk                                                   

As of June 30, 2000 the Company had short-term available-for-sale     
investments with a value of $12.1 million (See Note 1 to the Consolidated       
Financial Statements). These investments are subject to interest rate risk and  
will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 10     
percent increase in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2000, would   
cause the fair value of these short-term investments to decline by an immaterial
amount. Because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until     
maturity, we would not expect the value of these investments to be affected to  
any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest      
rates. Declines in interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest  
income.                                                                         

As of June 30, 1999, the Company did not have any available-for-sale  
investments.                                                                    

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA                             

   The Company's financial statements and the report of independent auditors
appear on pages F-1 through F-21 of this Report.                                

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANT ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Cardiac Pathways' executive
officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a          
registered class of the Cardiac Pathways' equity securities to file reports of  
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(1) Potential realizable value is based on the assumption that the Common Stock 
 of the Company appreciates at the annual rate shown (compounded annually)
from the date of grant until the expiration of the ten year option term.
 These numbers are calculated based on the requirements promulgated by the
    Securities and Exchange Commission and do not reflect the Company's estimate
of future price growth.                                                 

(2) Options become exercisable to 1/48 of the option shares at the end of each  
    month following the date of grant, with full vesting occurring on the fourth
anniversary of the date of grant, other than Mr. Prescott's grant which 
   becomes exercisable as to 1/4 of the shares on the first anniversary of the
    date of grant and the remainder of which vest monthly as to 1/48 thereafter.

(3) Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of 
the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant.                        

(4) Exercise price may be paid in cash, check, promissory note, by delivery of  
already-owned shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to certain   
 conditions, delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company 
amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, a   
reduction in the amount of any Company liability to an optionee, or any 
   combination of the foregoing methods of payment or such other consideration
or method of payment to the extent permitted under applicable law.      

(5) In connection with separation agreements entered into by Dr. Echt and Dr.   
Hunt with the Company, unvested options to purchase common stock of the 
   Company expired as of the day they resigned from the Company. The remaining
 vested shares were exercisable for up to 30 days after their resignation.
  Both Dr. Echt and Dr. Hunt exercised all of the options they were entitled
to exercise prior to the expiration dates.

to twelve months of the employee's then-current monthly base salary. The        
agreements also provide that all outstanding stock options held by the employees
become immediately exercisable in the event that the employee's employment is   
terminated without cause or is constructively terminated in connection with a   
merger, reorganization or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company
in which stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction       
possess less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving      
entity (or its parent) immediately after the transaction.                       

   On July 23, 1999, the Company and Mr. Prescott entered into an employment
agreement that, among other things, provided Mr. Prescott with an annual base   
salary of $265,000 and options to purchase (i) 187,306 shares of the Company's  
common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share, and (ii) 100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $4.63 per share. One-fourth  
of Mr. Prescott's options will vest on each anniversary of his employment over  
the next four years. In the event Mr. Prescott is terminated without justifiable
cause during the first year of his employment, Mr. Prescott will be entitled to 
acceleration of vesting as to 1/48 of such options for each full month of       
employment. Mr. Prescott is also entitled to immediate vesting of 100% of his   
shares if a merger or other sale of the Company results in a change in control  
of its voting stock and Mr. Prescott is involuntarily terminated.               

     In addition to options to purchase the Company's common stock, Mr. Prescott
is entitled to the following:                                                   

     - a $250,000 loan from the Company at a 7% interest rate to purchase shares
  of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B
       Preferred"). This loan is payable in 12 quarterly installments commencing
on the third anniversary of the loan;                             

- relocation expenses;                                                

- a one-time bonus of $75,000 paid on June 25, 1999 (subsequently this
 bonus was adjusted by mutual agreement between Mr. Prescott and the
Company to $46,759);                                              

  - severance of 12 months of his then current monthly salary in the event
Mr. Prescott is terminated without justifiable cause; and

  - a bonus of up to 25% of his then current salary upon the attainment of
       goals set by the board of directors for each fiscal year during which Mr.
Prescott remains Chief Executive Officer.                         

    Dr. Echt and Dr. Hunt entered into separation agreements with the Company,
pursuant to which Dr. Echt and Dr. Hunt resigned effective February 18, 2000 and
June 30, 2000, respectively. Pursuant to their agreements with the Company, Dr. 
Echt received a lump sum severance payment equal to 5 months of her then current
monthly base salary and Dr. Hunt received a lump sum severance payment equal to 
6 months of his then current monthly base salary. In addition to her lump sum   
severance, Dr. Echt also received her then current monthly pay for the period   
from February 18, 2000 through June 18, 2000 as if she were still employed. Dr. 
Hunt also received forgiveness on the principal and interest for a $60,000 loan 
made to him by the Company in addition to his lump sum severance.               

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION                                                           

    In fiscal 2000, nonemployee directors who were neither affiliated with nor
nominated by a stockholder that owned one percent or more of the outstanding    
capital stock of Cardiac Pathways (the "Outside Directors") were entitled to    
receive a fee of $1,500 for attendance at each general Board of Directors       
meeting, $500 if present at such meeting by telephone, a fee of $150 for        
attendance at each committee meeting for services provided in that capacity and 
were reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with their    
attendance at Board of Director or committee meetings. There are currently no   
Outside Directors.                                                              

  Under Cardiac Pathways' 1996 Director Option Plan, Outside Directors may
receive stock option grants pursuant to an automatic nondiscretionary grant     
mechanism. The exercise price of the options is set at 100% of the fair market  
value of Cardiac Pathways' common stock on the grant date. The Director Option  
Plan provides for an initial option grant to purchase 2,600 shares of common    
stock to each new Outside Director of the Company. In addition, each Outside    
Director is automatically granted an option to purchase 140 shares of common    
stock at the next meeting of the Board of Directors following each Annual       
Meeting of Stockholders, if on such date, such director has served on the Board 
of Directors for at least the preceding six months. The terms of each of these  
grants are ten years, provided that such options shall terminate three months   
following the termination of the optionee as a director (or twelve months if the
termination is due to death or disability). The initial grant vests at a rate of
25% of the shares subject to such option on the first anniversary of the date of
grant and at a rate of 1/48 of such shares per month thereafter. The annual     
grants vest at a rate of 1/8 of the shares subject to such option six months    
after the date of grant and at a rate of 1/48 of such shares per month          
thereafter.                                                                     

   On July 25, 2000, Dr. Kuo received an option to purchase 20,000 shares of
the Company's common stock under the Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan at an     
exercise price of $4.88 per share. This one-time award of stock to Dr. Kuo was  
granted to him in consideration of his ongoing and future activities related to 
the Company's business operations and future strategic direction.               

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Series B Financing                                                          

In July 1999, the Company's stockholders authorized and the Company   
completed a $32 million offering of Series B Preferred at $1,000 per share to a 
group of accredited investors. In connection with this Series B Preferred       
financing, the Company raised $31.5 million, net of issuance costs. In June     
2000, one of the holders of Series B Preferred converted 5,000 shares of Series 
B Preferred into 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The remaining 27,750 shares  
of Series B Preferred are convertible at the option of the holders into 5.45    
million shares of common stock.                                                 

The financing was severely dilutive to the Company's then existing    
stockholders. The following table summarizes the dilutive effect, for percentage
ownership purposes, of the financing on the stockholders based on outstanding   
share information as of June 30, 2000:

of the directors nominated by the holders of Series B Preferred will be required
to increase the number of directors above the number currently in office.       

   Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into 200 shares of common
stock. The conversion ratio of the Series B Preferred is subject to adjustment  
for price based antidilution.                                                   

 The holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to a cumulative dividend
when, as and if declared by the Board at a rate per share equal to 11% per annum
of the initial purchase price of the Series B Preferred. The Series B Preferred 
has a liquidation preference equal to the initial purchase price plus any       
accrued dividends upon the occurrence of a liquidation, a merger or the sale of 
all or substantially all of the Company's stock or assets. As a result of the   
liquidation preference, in the event of a liquidation, merger or the sale of    
substantially all of the Company's stock or assets, the holders of the Series B 
Preferred will receive their original purchase price plus any accrued dividends 
prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock.                       

     The Series B Preferred is redeemable after May 31, 2004 at the request of a
majority of the holders, subject to the approval of the Company. If a redemption
request is received but not approved by the Company, the cumulative dividend    
rate payable on the Series B Preferred will increase by six percentage points   
for each year a redemption does not occur.                                      

The holders of the Series B Preferred vote on all matters presented to
stockholders on an as-converted to common stock basis. In addition, the         
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred, voting as a
separate class, will be required to:                                            

 1. Amend or repeal any provision, or add any provision to the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws which changes the rights of the
Series B Preferred;                                                   

        2. Increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the
total number of authorized shares of preferred stock or common stock; 

          3. Authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any other security
    convertible into or exercisable for any security having a preference over,
   or being on a parity with, the Series B Preferred with respect to voting,
dividends, redemption or upon liquidation;                            

4. Issue any shares of common stock, other than             

(a) shares of common stock issuable or issued to employees, 
 consultants or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a stock
  option plan or restricted stock plan approved by the board of directors,
including the representatives of the Series B Preferred;              

        (b) shares of common stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the
Series A Participating Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred or as
     dividends or distributions on the Series A Participating Preferred Stock or
the Series B Preferred;                                               

  (c) shares of common stock issuable or issued upon exercise of
  warrants issued to banks, equipment lessors or other vendors, where such
     common stock or warrants were approved by the board of directors, including

      (d) shares of common stock issuable or issued as consideration for
  business combinations or corporate partnering agreements approved by the

  5. Declare or pay any dividends on its common stock or redeem,
    purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund

     that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of common
 stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons
performing services for Cardiac Pathways or any subsidiary pursuant to
   agreements under which Cardiac Pathways has the option to repurchase such
  shares at cost or at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as
the termination of employment;

     effect any transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
     fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of this corporation is disposed of;

7. Repurchase any series of preferred stock; or             

8. Increase or decrease the size of the board of directors. 

The holders of the Series B Preferred have a right of first offer with
respect to future financings by the Company.                                    

     The holders of 45% of the then outstanding Series B Preferred will have the
right to request that the Company register the shares of common stock into which
the Series B Preferred are convertible after May 21, 2000. In addition, if the  
Company otherwise registers shares of its common stock, the holders of the      
Series B Preferred will be entitled to participate in the registration.         

  The foregoing transaction did not involve any underwriters, underwriting
discounts or commissions or any public offering, and we believe that each       
transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act 
by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The   
recipients in such transactions represented their intention to acquire the      
securities for investment only and not with a view to or for resale in          
connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed  
to the share certificates and instruments issued in such transactions. All      
recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to         
information about us.                                                           

Other Transactions with Directors, Executive Officers and Others            

    In May 1999, William N. Starling resigned as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. Mr. Starling remained a member of the Board of          
Directors. The Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred and Mr. Starling  
agreed that for as long as Mr. Starling continues as a member of the Board, the 
options to purchase common stock held by Mr. Starling will continue to vest. As 
of the date he resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Starling  
held 9,458 shares subject to unvested options to purchase common stock. On      
January 1, 2000, Mr. Starling entered into a consulting agreement with the      
Company to provide the Company with business development and strategy consulting
services on a directed basis. Mr. Starling was paid a total of $144,865 through 
the period ending June 30, 2000, the expiration date of the agreement.          

Arrow International, Inc. Relationship                                      

    In June 1995 and December 1995, an aggregate of 606,667 shares of Series F
Preferred Stock was sold to Arrow International, Inc. ("Arrow") at a price of   
$15.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9.1 million. 
In the transaction Arrow also acquired warrants to purchase 7,667 shares of     
Series F Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $13.125, which expire on the   
earlier of June 2000 or the closing date of a transaction involving a change of 
control. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock was converted automatically into
one share of Common Stock upon the closing of the initial public offering of the
Company's Common Stock in June 1996. As of October 12, 1999, Arrow beneficially 
owned 1.5% shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.                    

Arrow also has the exclusive right to distribute the Company's        
Trio/Ensemble diagnostic catheters in all territories of the world except       
southern Europe and Japan. Sales to Arrow under its distributorship accounted   
for approximately $300,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and          
represented approximately 4.4% of the Company's net sales.

    We believe that all of the transactions set forth above were made on terms
no less favorable to the Cardiac Pathways than could have been obtained from    
unaffiliated third parties. All future transactions, including loans, between   
Cardiac Pathways and its officers, directors, principal stockholders and their  
affiliates will be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a
majority of the independent and disinterested outside directors, and will       
continue to be on terms no less favorable to Cardiac Pathways than could be     
obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders                                         
Cardiac Pathways Corporation                                                    

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cardiac
Pathways Corporation as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated 
statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and changes in 
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in   
the period ended June 30, 2000. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and      
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.                                                                         

 We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform 
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An 
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant    
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial       
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis   
for our opinion.                                                                

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cardiac        
Pathways Corporation at June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of 
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period     
ended June 30, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement     
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material aspects the information set forth      
therein.                                                                        

  As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, Cardiac
Pathways Corporation has changed its presentation of Redeemable Convertible     
Preferred Stock to exclude such amounts from Total Stockholders' Equity and,    
accordingly, has restated the consolidated financial statements for the year    
ended June 30, 2000.

except for the last paragraph of Note 4,

CARDIAC PATHWAYS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES          

Nature of Business                                                          

Cardiac Pathways Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), 
operates in a single industry segment and designs, develops, manufactures and   
markets minimally invasive systems to diagnose and treat cardiac                
tachyarrhythmias.                                                               

Basis of Presentation                                                       

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cardiac Pathways B.V. and Cardiac
Pathways G.m.b.H. There were no significant intercompany accounts or            
transactions in fiscal 2000.                                                    

  The Company has reclassified certain prior-year balances to conform with
current-year presentations.                                                     

Use of Estimates                                                            

  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and        
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and    
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.           

Fair Value of Financial Instruments                                         

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash  
equivalents and short-term investments approximate fair value. The fair value of
short-term investments was based on quoted market prices.                       

The carrying amount for the Company's long-term and short-term debt   
approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company's debt was estimated     
using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental 
borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.                     

Concentrations of Credit Risk                                               

  The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk with
respect to its cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company      
invests its excess cash in a diversified portfolio of investment grade interest 
bearing instruments. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of      
default by the financial institutions or issuers of investments only to the     
extent recorded on the balance sheet. To date, the Company has not experienced  
any significant losses on its investments.                                      

The Company sells its products to distributors in Japan, Europe and to
hospitals in the United States (see Note 10). The Company does not require      
collateral and maintains reserves for estimated credit losses. To date, such    
losses have been within management's expectations and have not been significant.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments                           

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original  
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All     
other liquid investments are classified as short-term investments.              

In the year ended June 30, 1999, certain securities designated as     
held-to-maturity were sold prior to their maturity date to pay-off a            
collateralized loan. Under our Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley  
Bank, we were required to collateralize 105% of the $6,000,000 principal balance
of the loan in the event of noncompliance with certain financial operating ratio
and liquidity covenants. In late March 1999, as a result of noncompliance with  
those covenants, the Company fully collateralized the Silicon Valley Bank loan  
by

pledging $3,000,000 of cash and $3,300,000 of short-term investments. On May 20,
1999, Silicon Valley Bank foreclosed and took possession of the collateral in   
satisfaction of the full amount due under the loan.                             

     At June 30, 2000, the Company has reclassified the $2,000,000 of originally
designated held-to-maturity securities to available-for sale.                   

 Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, if   
material. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant unrealized   
gains or losses on available-for-sale securities and, accordingly, no           
adjustments have been made to stockholders' equity.                             

 The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at June 30,
2000:

for $2,000,000 of available-for-sale securities (which the amortized cost equals
the estimated fair value), which has a maturity date greater than 10 years.     

  At June 30, 1999 the Company had $2,339,660 in cash and cash equivalents

     In July 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a Canadian company
to obtain an exclusive worldwide license to certain patents involving the use of
ultrasound technology. The terms of the agreement included payments made by the 
Company to the licensor of $1,000,000 each in August 1999 and January 2000. The 
intangible asset is amortized over five years.                                  

Revenue Recognition                                                         

 Revenue from disposable products is recognized at the time of shipment.
Revenue from equipment is recognized upon shipment and the completion of certain
installation and acceptance criteria. Revenue from sales to distributors is     
recognized when the products are shipped, except in the case of a demonstration 
product shipment, or if a RPM System is shipped with elements or modules        
essential to the functionality of the system on backorder (partial shipment).   
Revenue is recognized on a demonstration product at the expiration of the       
demonstration term if the customer executes a purchase agreement and accepts    
title to the product. In the case of a partial shipment, revenue is recognized  
when all elements of the order essential to the functionality of the system have
been shipped and the terms of the purchase agreement have been met. Estimated   
sales returns and allowances are recorded as a percentage of sales based on     
historical return rates.                                                        

Product Warranties                                                          

  The Company warrants its equipment for a period of one year. The Company
provides for estimated warranty costs concurrent with the recognition of        
revenue.                                                                        

Deferred Income                                                             

Included in deferred income at June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had
$2,330,862 and $2,630,862 of deferred royalty income, respectively, related to  
one of its diagnostic catheter systems (see Note 9). Income earned from this    
royalty agreement is recorded as a component of net sales. The Company deferred 
$100,000 of product revenue at June 30, 2000.                                   

Research and Development Costs                                              

Research and development costs, which include clinical and certain    
regulatory costs, are charged to expense as incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation                                                

   The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S.
dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are   
remeasured at the fiscal year-end exchange rate. Inventory, property and other  
nonmonetary assets and liabilities including related revenues, expenses, gains  
and losses are remeasured using historical exchange rates during the month in   
which the transactions occurred. Adjustments resulting from these remeasurements
are included in the results of operations and have been immaterial to date.     

Net Loss Per Share                                                          

     Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has
other securities outstanding (including Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants which amounted to 5,450,000 and   
60,000 of equivalent shares of common stock, options to purchase 1,425,971      
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 28,628 shares of common stock at
June 30, 2000) that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future that    
were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share in the       
periods presented as their effect is anti-dilutive.                             

The following table sets forth the computation of net loss per share:

Stock-Based Compensation                                                    

  The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation arrangements using
the intrinsic-value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and accordingly, has adopted the 
disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.   
123 (FAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." These provisions      
require the Company to disclose pro forma net loss and net loss per share       
amounts as if compensation expense related to certain stock awards were         
recognized based on the fair value accounting rules under FAS 123 (see Note 4). 
Stock based compensation arrangements to non-employees are accounted for in     
accordance with FAS 123 and EITF 96-18, using a fair value approach, and the    
compensation cost of such arrangements are subject to remeasurement over their  
vesting terms, as earned. For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2000, 1999, and  
1998, there were no significant grants to non-employees.                        

Recent Pronouncements                                                       

   In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 (FAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging           
Activities", as amended by FAS 137, which is required to be adopted in years    
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company has not in the past and does not     
anticipate in the future using derivative instruments, and the Company does not 
expect that the adoption of FAS 133 will have a significant impact on its       
financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2000 

 In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
("SAB 101") that must be adopted in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. SAB 101    
summarizes certain areas of the Staff's views in applying generally accepted    
accounting principles to revenue in financial statements. Although the Company  
believes that its current revenue recognition principles comply with SAB 101,   
additional guidance is expected to be issued by the SEC staff and the Company   
will evaluate the affect of adopting SAB 101 at that point.                     

     In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB Interpretation
No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an    
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. The Interpretation, which has been adopted
prospectively as of July 1, 2000, requires that stock options that have been    
modified to reduce the exercise price be accounted for as variable. Under the   
Interpretation, the options are accounted for as variable from July 1, 2000     
until the options are exercised, forfeited or expire unexercised. The Company   
believes that its current accounting principles for stock compensation comply   
with APB Opinion No. 25, and that adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 44 is not 
expected to have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of  
operations.

     In May 1999, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Financing, the
Company obtained a convertible bridge loan of $3,000,000 from certain           
participating investors. The bridge loan bore interest at the prime rate plus   
2.00%. The promissory notes issued in connection with the bridge loan were      
convertible into shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the same     
price as the share issued in the financing. In July 1999, the bridge loan and   
related accrued interest of $52,000 was converted into 3,052 shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock concurrent with the closing of the financing (see note 4).

 The Company leases its facilities under operating lease agreements that
extend through October 2003. Rent expense, net of sublease income, was          
approximately, $825,649, $730,323, and $364,000 for the years ended June 30,    
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company leases certain equipment under   
long-term leases, the terms of which qualify as capital leases. Capital lease   
obligations are collateralized with leased equipment.

Amortization expense of assets under capital leases is included in    
depreciation expense.                                                           

   At June 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $213,455 in noncancelable
commitments with suppliers to provide components in the normal course of        
business.                                                                       

4. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK                                     

Preferred Stock                                                             

In July 1999, the Company's stockholders authorized and the Company   
completed a $32 million offering of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at     
$1,000 per share to a group of accredited investors. In connection with the     
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock financing, the Company raised $31.5        
million, net of issuance costs. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is     
redeemable by the Company. At any time after May 31, 2004, the holders of a     
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,
voting as a single class, may request that the Company redeem the outstanding   
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company is not obligated to 
honor a redemption request but must thereafter increase the cumulative dividend 
by 6% per annum. The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of         
undesignated preferred stock, $.001 par value per share. Preferred stock may be 
issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is       
authorized to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions   
granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and to
fix the number of shares of any series of preferred stock and the designation of
any such series without any vote or action by the Company's stockholders. At    
June 30, 2000, the Company had 27,250 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred  
Stock outstanding, and the Company had no shares of Series B Convertible        
Preferred Stock outstanding in fiscal 1999. As of June 30, 2000, the redemption 
value of the outstanding 27,250 shares Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is  
$30,034,375, which includes the original investment plus the accrued but unpaid 
dividends.                                                                      

  The June 30, 2000 balance sheet also reflects the discount or beneficial
conversion feature present in the convertible securities. The discount was being
recognized as a return to the preferred stockholders (similar to a dividend)    
over the minimum period in which the preferred stockholders can realize return, 
immediately for the Series B Convertible Preferred stockholders. The discount   
has been accreted to additional paid in capital in the June 30, 2000 balance    
sheet. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is initially          
convertible into 200 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at the option of the 
holder. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically  
be converted into the Company's common stock upon the election of a majority of 
the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B 
Convertible Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to that number of  
votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stock holders of the Company    
equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B           
Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted.                                   

     The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement specifies that,
when, as and if dividends are declared, the holder of Series B Convertible      
Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend equal to 11% of the       
purchase price paid for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, per 
share, per year. At any time after May 31, 2004, the cumulative dividend will   
increase by 6 percentage points at the beginning of

each year if the Company elects not to redeem the stock after a redemption      
request by a majority of the Series B Convertible Preferred stockholders, as    
described above. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation     
preference equal to the initial purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid      
dividends upon the occurrence of a liquidation, a merger or the sale of all or  
substantially all of the Company's stock or assets. As a result of the          
liquidation preference, in the event of a liquidation, merger or the sale of    
substantially all of the Company's stock or assets, the holders of Series B     
Convertible Preferred Stock will receive their original purchase price plus any 
accrued and unpaid dividends prior to any distribution to the holders of common 
stock. After such payment any remaining proceeds would be distributed ratably   
among the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and holders of common 
stock. All share and per share amounts reflect the reverse common stock split.  

Because the two largest Series B Convertible Preferred Stock holders  
control 3 of the 5 seats (60%) on the board of directors, the June 30, 2000     
balance sheet reflects the accrual of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock  
cumulative dividends. The members of the Company's board of directors include   
Mark J. Brooks, Anchie Y. Kuo, M.D., and M. Fazle Husain, nominees of the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stockholders, Thomas M. Prescott, CEO and William       
Starling, a former director, chief executive officer and president of the       
Company. The consent of the directors nominated by the Series B Convertible     
Preferred Stock will be required to increase the number of directors above the  
number currently in office.                                                     

     During fiscal 2000, one of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock holders
converted their shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (5,000 shares) to
common stock (1,000,000 shares). The accrued but undeclared dividends at that   
date have been accounted for as an additional contribution to equity.           

In February 2001, the Company reclassified the Series B Convertible   
Preferred Stock to exclude it from total stockholders' equity due to the nature 
of the redemption features of the stock, and restated its consolidated balance  
sheet at June 30, 2000 and the consolidated statements of redeemable preferred  
stock and changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) for the year ended June 30, 
2000 to reflect this change.                                                    

5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The Company is authorized to issue 6,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001
par value per share, of which a total of 3,078,486 and 2,007,904 shares were    
outstanding at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In May 1999, the Company's 
Board of Directors authorized a 1-for-5 reverse common stock split. All share   
and per share amounts reflect this reverse common stock split.

     The Company has issued warrants to purchase common stock in connection with
various financing and lease agreements. The fair value of warrants issued in    
connection with lease transactions was expensed. The following warrants to      
purchase common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2000:

stock warrants had been exercised.                                              

Stock Option Plans                                                          

    In July 1991, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company's
1991 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the issuance of      
incentive and nonstatutory options to employees, officers, and consultants of   
the Company to acquire common stock of the Company. The Plan, as amended,       
provides for the granting of options for up to 1,313,406 shares of common stock 
of the Company, which includes 800,000 shares approved by the stockholders in   
July 1999. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the Plan 
may not be less than 100% (110% in the case of any options granted to a person  
who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of     
stock of the Company) of the fair market value of the common stock subject to   
the option on the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan generally become
exercisable over a four-year period and generally expire ten years from the date
of grant. Expired options become available under the Plan. At June 30, 2000, a  
total of 1,357,389 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under 
the Plan (see Note 13).                                                         

 In September 1996 and April 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the
exchange of certain stock option grants at the then fair market values of the   
Company's common stock. These exchanges were voluntary and open to all employees
holding options subsequent to certain dates. In September 1996, options to      
purchase 5,730 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $63.75 to $75.00   
per share were exchanged for options to purchase a like number of shares at     
$60.00 per share. Under the September 1996 exchange, all previous vesting of the
related options was forfeited. In April 1997, options to purchase 30,925 shares 
of common stock at prices ranging from $42.50 to $85.00 per share were exchanged
for options to purchase a like number of shares at $33.15 per share. Vesting    
terms were not modified under the April 1997 exchange, however, no vested       
options related to the exchange were exercisable for a period of 180 days       
following the exchange.                                                         

During the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company recorded   
deferred compensation of approximately $856,000 and $192,000, respectively,     
representing the difference between the grant price and the fair value of the   
Company's common stock for certain options granted during those years. The      
deferred compensation is amortized over the period for which the related stock  
options become exercisable, which is generally four years. During the year ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, the company decreased unamortized deferred compensation 
by approximately $72,000 and $134,000, respectively, to reflect the cancellation
of certain unvested stock options for which deferred compensation was previously
recorded. Amortization of deferred compensation was approximately $109,000,     
$191,000 and $262,000 for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998,         
respectively.                                                                   

In April 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Director Option Plan (the 
"Director Plan"). The Director Plan provides for the granting of options for up 
to 12,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The option grants under the    
Director Plan are automatic and non-discretionary, and the exercise price of the
options is 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. 
The Director Plan provides for an initial grant of options to purchase 2,600    
shares of common stock to each new non-employee director. In addition, each     
non-employee director will automatically be granted an option to purchase 140   
shares of common stock annually. Options granted under the Director Plan become 
exercisable over a four-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.
At June 30, 2000, a total of 12,000 shares of common stock has been reserved for
issuance under the Director Plan.                                               

In August 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the    
Company's 1998 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the "Supplemental Plan"). The    
Supplemental Plan provides for the issuance of nonstatutory options to          
non-officer employees and consultants of the Company to acquire common stock of 
the Company. The Supplemental Plan, as amended, provides for the granting of    
options for up to

480,000 shares of common stock of the Company, including 400,000 shares approved
by the Company's Board of Directors in July 1999. Options granted under the     
Supplemental Plan generally become exercisable over a four-year period and      
generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Expired options become       
available under the Supplemental Plan. At June 30, 2000, a total of 476,880     
shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Supplemental Plan   
(see Note 13).

  In April 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "Purchase Plan"). The Purchase Plan, as amended, provides for the purchase 
by employees of up to 24,600 shares of the

Company's common stock. In August 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company   
approved the termination of the 1996 ESPP and the adoption of the Cardiac       
Pathways Corporation 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1998 ESPP")        
including the initial reservation of 20,000 shares of Common Stock under the    
1998 ESPP. The 1998 ESPP provides for consecutive, overlapping 24-month offering
periods. Each offering period consists of four semi-annual purchase periods and 
is designed to allow eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll
deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the first day of the applicable offering period or the
last day of the respective purchase period. The 1998 ESPP provides for an annual
increase in the number of Common Stock shares reserved equal to the lesser of   
40,000 shares or 1.5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. The maximum    
number of Common Stock shares reserved for issuance under the 1998 ESPP cannot  
exceed 196,000. The adoption of the 1998 ESPP was approved by the stockholder in
November 1998.                                                                  

 During the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, a total of 36,801,
16,274 and 12,711 shares were purchased, respectively, under the Employee Stock 
Purchase Plans at prices ranging from $1.86 to $39.85 per share. At June 30,    
2000 there were 147,300 shares reserved for future issuance under the 1998 ESPP.

  The estimated fair value of purchase rights under the Company's Employee
Stock Purchase Plan is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the
following assumption for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998:

    For the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the weighted average fair
value of purchase rights under the plan was $1.94, $3.46 and $13.90,            
respectively.                                                                   

Pro Forma Compensation Expense                                              

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123, and
accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded for stock awards to      
employees granted at market price on the date of grant. Had compensation expense
for the Company's stock plans been determined based on the fair value           
methodology, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been      
reported as the following pro forma amounts:

The above pro forma effects on the results of operations may not be   
representative of the effects for future years as option grants typically vest  
over several years and additional options are generally granted each year.      

Stockholder Rights Plan                                                     

  In April 1997, the Board of Directors approved a stockholder rights plan
and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for   
each outstanding share of common stock of the Company to

holders of record as of April 30, 1997. Each Right will entitle stockholders to 
purchase 1/1000 of a share of Series A participating preferred stock of the     
Company (a newly designated series of preferred stock for which each 1/1000 of a
share has economic attributes and voting rights equivalent to those of one share
of the Company's common stock) at an exercise price of $125. The Rights only    
become exercisable in certain limited circumstances involving acquisitions of or
tender offers for 15% or more of the Company's capital stock by another person  
or group of persons. For a limited period of time after the announcement of any 
such acquisition or offer, the Rights are redeemable at a price of $.01 per     
Right.                                                                          

    After becoming exercisable, each Right entitles its holder to purchase for
$125 an amount of common stock of the Company, or in certain circumstances,     
securities of the acquirer, having a then current market value equal to two     
times the exercise price of the Right. The Rights expire on April 21, 2007

Due to operating losses and the inability to recognize an income tax  
benefit therefrom, there was no provision for income taxes for the years ended  
June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998.                                                   

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of tax carryforwards and
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.      
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets were as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2000 

  The increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $ 5,600,00 and
$7,600,000 for years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.                

7. RISKS DUE TO CONCENTRATIONS                                                

Dependence on Systems                                                       

  There can be no assurance that the Company's development efforts will be
successful or that the systems or any other product developed by the Company    
will be safe or effective, approved by appropriate regulatory and reimbursement 
authorities, capable of being manufactured in commercial quantities at          
acceptable costs or successfully marketed.                                      

Dependence on Key Suppliers                                                 

   The Company purchases certain key components of its products, including a
computer workstation, a fluid pump, certain integrated circuit components, flex 
circuits and biocompatible coatings from sole, single or limited source         
suppliers. Any significant component supply delay or interruption could require 
the Company to qualify new sources of supply, if available, and could have a    
material adverse effect on the Company's ability to manufacture its products.   

Dependence on Key Distributors                                              

   The Company currently relies upon international distributors of specialty
cardiovascular products to market and sell its products. A large percentage of  
the Company's revenues are derived from sales of its Japanese distributor, Japan
Lifeline Company, Ltd. ("Japan Lifeline"). Sales to Japan Lifeline accounts for 
49%, 52% and 80% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998       
respectively.

 In March 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an
officer of the Company pursuant to which it loaned $385,000 to the officer, the 
proceeds of which were used to exercise a stock option granted to this officer  
in January 1996. The stock exercised is pledged as collateral against the       
receivable from the stockholder. In August 1998, the officer resigned from the  
Company. In March 2000, a reserve against the receivable was recorded for the   
amount of the difference between the $385,000 loaned and the fair value of the  
pledged stock at March 31, 2000.                                                

In May 1999, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an 
officer of the Company pursuant to which the officer is entitled to a $250,000  
loan from the Company at a 7% interest rate to purchase 250 shares of the       
Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In March 2000, the loan was     
executed for the purchase of the stock and currently reflected in the Company's 
Balance Sheet. The loan provides for full

recourse against the other assets of the officer. In the event of default, the  
Company intends to exercise its rights under the full recourse provisions of    
this loan.                                                                      

10. RELATIONSHIP WITH ARROW INTERNATIONAL, INC.                                 

     In December 1995, the Company entered into a distribution and manufacturing
rights agreement related to certain of the Company's diagnostic catheter        
products and the Company received a $3,000,000 prepaid royalty. This amount was 
recorded as deferred royalty income. During the year ended June 30, 1999, the   
Company began amortizing deferred royalty income on a straight-line basis over  
the estimated remaining life of the related catheter patents. For the years     
ended June 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company recorded royalty income of     
approximately $300,000, $300,000 and $20,000, respectively.                     

11. INDUSTRY SEGMENT, CUSTOMER AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION                       

The Company operates in a single industry segment with principal      
manufacturing and distribution operations located in the United States. The     
Company also operates limited sales and distribution activities through its     
European subsidiaries, Cardiac Pathways G.m.b.H. in Germany.                    

 Net sales primarily consist of product sales to distributors located in
Japan and Europe, and direct sales to hospitals in the United States.           

See Note 6 for dependence on key distributors.
