NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Formation and Business of the Company:

 

ArthroCare Corporation (“ArthroCare”, “we” or the “company”) was incorporated on April 29, 1993 and our principal operations commenced in August 1995. We design, develop, manufacture and market medical devices for use in soft-tissue surgery. Our products are based on our patented soft-tissue surgical controlled ablation technology, which we call Coblation technology. Coblation technology involves an innovative use of a non-thermal process, and has the capability of performing at temperatures lower than traditional electrosurgical tools. Our strategy includes applying Coblation technology to a broad range of soft-tissue surgical markets, including sports medicine, spinal surgery, neurosurgery, cosmetic surgery, ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery, gynecology, urology, general surgery and various cardiology applications. We are a global company with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Costa Rica and sales offices in the United States and Europe.

 

On November 12, 2004, we executed an agreement and plan of merger with Opus Medical, Inc. (“Opus”) under which we acquired Opus for an initial payment of $90.0 million, consisting of approximately $30.0 million in cash and approximately $60.0 million in ArthroCare common stock, plus subsequent future payments in cash or common stock aggregating up to $40.0 million, plus additional future pa
