PROSPECTUS
----------

         The  information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.
We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer
to sell  these  securities,  and it is not  soliciting  an  offer  to buy  these
securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

                 SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED FEBRUARY ___, 2004


                        14,216,339 Shares of Common Stock


                        PARADIGM MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, INC.


         Paradigm  Medical  Industries,  Inc. is offering  10,000,000  shares of
common  stock at a price of $.15 per share on a "best  efforts"  basis  directly
through its  officers and  directors,  who will not receive any  commissions  or
other remunerations for selling the shares. We may also offer the shares through
brokers or sales agents,  who may receive  compensation  in form of commissions,
which total commissions will not exceed 10% of the selling price of the shares.

         We have not  established  any minimum  amount of proceeds  that must be
received in the offering  before any proceeds  may be accepted.  Once  accepted,
funds will be deposited  into an account  maintained  by us and  considered  our
general assets. Funds will not be placed into escrow, trust or any other similar
arrangement.

         The offering  will commence  promptly  after the  effectiveness  of the
registration  statement of which this  prospectus is a part,  and will made on a
continuous  basis for a period of 90 days.  The offering may be terminated by us
earlier if we sell all the shares  being  offered or we decide to cease  selling
efforts.

         Our   common   stock  and   Class  A   warrants   are   quoted  on  the
Over-the-Counter  Bulletin Board under the symbols  "PMED.OB" and "PMEDW.OB." On
February 23, 2004,  the last  reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC
Bulletin  Board  was  $.15 per  share  and the last  sale  price of our  Class A
Warrants was $.03 per warrant.

         We are also  registering for resale a total of 4,216,339  shares of our
common  stock.  We are  registering  the  resale  of common  stock  for  certain
warrantholders  and will only  receive  proceeds to the extent that  outstanding
warrants are  exercised.  All other shares of our common stock being  registered
are  either  outstanding  or will  be  issued  upon  conversion  of  outstanding
preferred  stock and may be sold at the  prevailing  market  price of our common
stock.  We will derive no proceeds from the  conversion or subsequent  resale of
such shares.

         We may be unable to sell 10,000,000  shares of our common stock at $.15
per share because selling  shareholders in this Offering will be seeking to sell
4,216,339 shares of our common stock. We have 25,509,868  shares of common stock
outstanding  prior to this  offering,  and the  volume of  trading in our common
stock is limited  because  our shares  trade on the OTC  Bulletin  Board and are
deemed "penny stock."

                           -------------------------

Investing in our common stock involves a high decree of risk. See "Risk Factors"
beginning on page 3 of this prospectus.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

         This summary  highlights some information from this prospectus.  It may
not contain all of the information  that is important to you. To understand this
offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus  carefully,  including the
risk factors and the financial statements.

The Company

         We develop,  manufacture,  source,  market and sell ophthalmic surgical
and diagnostic  instrumentation and related  accessories,  including  disposable
products.  Our surgical  equipment is designed for minimally  invasive  cataract
treatment.  A  cataract  is a  condition,  which  largely  affects  the  elderly
population,  in which the natural  lens of the eye  hardens and becomes  cloudy,
thereby reducing visual acuity. Treatment consists of removal of the cloudy lens
and  replacement  with a synthetic lens implant,  which restores  visual acuity.
Cataract surgery is the single largest volume and revenue  producing  outpatient
surgical  procedure  for  ophthalmologists  worldwide.  The Health Care  Finance
Administration  reports  that in the United  States  approximately  two  million
cataract  removal  procedures  are performed  annually,  making this the largest
outpatient  procedure  reimbursed  by Medicare.  Most  cataract  procedures  are
performed using a method called  phacoemulsification or "phaco", which employs a
high frequency (40 kHz to 60 kHz) ultrasonic probe needle device to fragment the
cataract  while  still in the eye and remove it in pieces by  suction  through a
small incision.

         We sell our  equipment  and related  products in all  countries  of the
world in which we are permitted to do so. The nature of the regulatory  approval
processes in those  countries vary by country but, in general terms,  follow the
approach of the regulatory approval processes of the United States Food and Drug
Administration,  or FDA,  and the  approval  processes  of the  countries in the
European Union. The status of specific approvals is detailed in the table in the
Business section of this prospectus.

         We market two cataract  surgery  systems with related  accessories  and
disposable  products.  Our cataract removal system, the Photon(TM) laser system,
is a laser cataract  surgery system  marketed as the next generation of cataract
removal.  The  Photon(TM)  product  has yet to be  approved by the Food and Drug
Administration.  Except for the Photon(TM) laser system,  which can only be sold
in  countries  outside of the United  States,  our  products  can be sold in the
United States and in foreign  countries  including but not limited to Argentina,
Australia,  Bangladesh,  Borneo, Brazil, Canada, China,  Czechoslovakia,  Egypt,
France, Germany,  Greece, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea,
Malaysia,  Mexico, New Zealand,  Pakistan,  Peru,  Poland,  Puerto Rico, Russia,
Saudi Arabia,  Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan,  Thailand,  Turkey, United Kingdom, and
United Arab Emirates . Both the Photon(TM) and the  Precisionist  ThirtyThousand
(TM) are  manufactured  as an Ocular  Surgery  Workstation(TM).  At present  the
Photon(TM) and other surgical products do not provide  significant revenue to us
because we have de-emphasized this part of our product line and are undecided as
to our future plans for surgical  equipment sales. As a result, due to estimated
lack of  recoverability,  we have  recorded an  inventory  reserve to offset the
majority of inventory  associated  with the Photon(TM) and  Precisionist  Thirty
Thousand(TM).

         Our  diagnostic  products  include  a P55  pachmetric  analyzer,  a P37
Ultrasonic A/B Scan, a P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope,  a perimeter, a corneal
topographer  and  the  Blood  flow  Analyzer  (TM).  The  diagnostic  ultrasonic
products,  including the P55 pachymetric  analyzer,  the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan
and the P40 UBM Ultrasound  Biomicroscope were acquired from Humphrey Systems, a
division of Carl Zeiss,  Inc. in 1998.  We developed and offered for sale in the
fall of 2000 the P45 which combines the A/B scope and the P40 UBM  Biomicroscope
in one machine.  The  perimeter and the corneal  topographer  were added when we
acquired the outstanding shares of the stock of Vismed, Inc. d/b/a/ Dicon(TM) in
June 2000. We acquired Ocular Blood Flow, Ltd. in June of 2000,  whose principal
product  is the Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM).  This  product  is  designed  for the
measurement of intraocular  pressure and pulsatile  ocular blood flow volume for
detection  and  treatment of glaucoma.  We are  currently  attempting to develop
additional applications for all of our diagnostic products.

         We rely upon several  products for revenues.  For the nine months ended
September  30,  2003,  37% of our  revenues  were  derived  from the Dicon  (TM)
diagnostic  products  sales (the  perimeter  and  corneal  topographer),  13% of
revenues  from Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  sales,  19% of  revenues  from P40 UBM
Ultrasound Biomicroscope sales, 10% of revenues from Humphrey Systems diagnostic
product sales (the P55 pachymetric analyzer and the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan), 4%
of revenues  from  cataract  removal  surgery  sales,  and 17% of revenues  from
services,  disposables  and other sales.  For the fiscal year ended December 31,
2002,  28% of our revenues were derived from the Dicon(TM)  diagnostic  products
sales (the  perimeter  and the corneal  topographer),  9% of revenues from Blood
Flow   Analyzer(TM)   sales,  24%  of  revenues  from  the  P40  UBM  Ultrasound
Biomicroscope  sales, 11% of revenues from Humphrey systems diagnostic  products
sales (the P55  pachymetric  analyzer,  and the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan),  5% of
revenues from cataract removal surgery sales, and 23% of revenues from services,
disposables and other sales. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, 25% of
our revenues  were derived from the  Dicon(TM)  diagnostic  products  sales (the
perimeter  and  the  corneal  topographer),  25% of  revenues  from  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM)  sales,  23% of revenues from the P40 UBM Ultrasound  Biomicroscope
sales, 7% of revenues from Humphrey Systems  diagnostic  products sales (the P55
pachymetric  analyzer,  the  A-Scan  and the P37  Ultrasonic  A/B  Scan),  8% of
revenues from cataract removal surgery sales, and 12% of revenues from services,
disposables and other sales. Our principal executive offices are located at 2355
South 1070 West,  Salt Lake city,  Utah 84119 and our telephone  number is (801)
977-8970.

         Unaudited  revenues for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003, were
$2,225,000 as compared to $3,894,000  for the  comparable  period for 2002,  and
audited revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, were $5,368,000 as
compared to $7,919,000 for the comparable period for fiscal 2001.

         On March 23, 2003,  our board of  directors  appointed  Dr.  Jeffrey F.
Poore as President and Chief Executive Officer of the company,  replacing Thomas
F. Motter,  who resigned as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer on
August 30, 2002. On June 23, 2003, our board of directors appointed Gregory Hill
as Vice  President  of Finance,  Treasurer  and Chief  Financial  Officer of the
company,  replacing Heber C. Maughan, who resigned as Vice President of Finance,
Treasurer and Chief Financial  Officer.  Mr. Hill resigned from his positions on
December 5, 2003. On November 6, 2003, our board of directors appointed David I.
Cullumber as our Chief  Operating  Officer.  Mr.  Cullumber was appointed  Chief
Technical Officer on August 18, 2003.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware of the risks
described  below which  constitute  material risks to potential  investors.  You
should  consider  carefully  these risk factors  together  with all of the other
information  included  in this  prospectus  before  you  decide to invest in our
common  stock.  If any of the following  risks  actually  occurs,  our business,
financial  condition and results of operations  could suffer,  in which case the
trading price of our common stock could decline. No investment should be made by
any person who is not in a position to lose the entire amount of his investment.

                Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

         Some of the information in this prospectus may contain  forward-looking
statements.  Such  statements  can be identified  by the use of  forward-looking
terminology  such  as  "may,"  "will,"   "expect,"   "anticipate,"   "estimate,"
"continue" or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations,
contain  projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state
other  "forward-looking"  information.  When  considering  such  forward-looking
statements,  you  should  keep in mind the risk  factors  and  other  cautionary
statements in this Prospectus.  The risk factors noted in this section and other
factors  noted   throughout  this  prospectus,   including   certain  risks  and
uncertainties,  could cause our actual results to differ  materially  from those
contained in any forward-looking statement.

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.

         Due to our significant  recurring  losses and our inability to generate
sufficient  cash flows from  operations to satisfy our  liabilities  and sustain
operations,  our auditors have expressed  substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going  concern.  Although  we have had success in raising  working
capital  from the  sale of our  common  stock in the  past,  the  going  concern
language in our auditors'  report could  negatively  affect our ability to raise
such funds in the future.  Some investors are unwilling to invest with companies
that have going  concern  language  in the  auditors'  report and others  demand
substantial  discounts  from  the  market  price.  Unless  we are  able to raise
additional  working capital through the sale of our common stock, we will not be
able to continue the  development of our products nor will we be able to pay our
existing current liabilities,  which could result in protection under bankruptcy
laws.  Under certain  conditions,  including but not limited to having judgments
rendered  against us in a court of law, a group of creditors could force us into
bankruptcy  due to our  inability  to pay the  liabilities  arising  out of such
judgments.  At this time, we are unable to assess the  likelihood  that we would
seek bankruptcy protection in the near future. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in raising working capital from the sale of our common stock.


                                       5



We have limited working capital, have accumulated significant losses, and expect
our losses to continue.

         As of December 31, 2002, we had limited  working capital of $1,506,000.
As of September  30, 2003,  our working  capital was $602,000.  Our  accumulated
deficit was $42,501,000 as of December 31, 2001,  $53,656,000 as of December 31,
2002, and $55,962,000 as of September 30,2003.  Our net loss was $10,143,000 for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001,  $11,155,000  for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002, and $2,305,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003.
Such losses have resulted  principally  from costs  incurred in connection  with
research  and  development,  including  clinical  trials,  of the laser  surgery
system.  Medical  products  were not sold by us until late 1992.  Our ability to
become   profitable   largely  depends  on  successfully   developing   clinical
applications  and obtain  regulatory  approvals for our laser surgery  products,
including the Photon(TM) laser system,  and to effectively market such products.
The problems and expenses frequently  encountered in developing new products and
the  competitive  industry  in which  we  operate  will  impact  whether  we are
successful.  We may never achieve profitability.  Furthermore,  we may encounter
substantial  delays and unexpected  expenses  related to research,  development,
production, marketing, regulatory matters or other unforeseen difficulties.

Because our securities  trade on  the OTC Bulletin Board,  your ability  to sell
your shares in the secondary market may be limited.

         Since June 26, 2003, our shares have traded on the OTC Bulletin  Board.
As a  result,  it may be  more  difficult  for an  investor  to  dispose  of our
securities, or to obtain accurate quotations on their market value. Furthermore,
the prices for our securities may be lower than might otherwise be obtained.  On
October 8, 2002, we received a notice from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications staff
that for the previous 30 consecutive trading days, the price of our common stock
closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued  inclusion on
Nasdaq. The notice further provided that if at anytime before April 7, 2003, the
bid  price of our  common  stock  closed  at $1.00 or more for a  minimum  of 10
consecutive  trading days, we would be notified by the staff that we comply with
such rule.

         On April 15, 2003, we received  notice of a  determination  by Nasdaq's
Listing Qualifications staff that we failed to comply with the minimum bid price
rules for  continued  listing set forth in  Nasdaq's  rules.  Specifically,  the
notice  stated  that we have not  regained  compliance  with the  minimum  $1.00
closing bid price per share requirement  (noting that pursuant to the October 8,
2002, notice from the Nasdaq Listing  Qualifications staff, we were provided 180
calendar  days,  or  until  April  7,  2003,  to  regain  compliance  with  this
requirement)  and we do not qualify  with the  $5,000,000  shareholders  equity,
$50,000,000  market  value of listed  securities  or  $750,000  net income  from
continuing operations  requirement for an additional 180 calendar day compliance
period to comply with Nasdaq's rules. The April 15, 2003,  notice further stated
that as of December 31, 2002, we reported stockholders' equity of $2,847,000 and
net losses from continuing  operations of approximately  $11,155,000,  and as of
April 14,  2003,  the market  value of our  listed  securities  was  $4,208,108.
Accordingly,  our common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
at the opening of business on April 24,  2003.  Separately,  Nasdaq  informed us
that listing fees of $22,500 and $18,000 under Rule  4310(c)(13) are owed to the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

         We  requested an oral hearing  before a Nasdaq  Listing  Qualifications
Panel to review the staff's determination.  The request automatically stayed the
delisting of our common stock. On April 23, 2003, we received formal notice from
Nasdaq that a hearing to consider our appeal  would be held on May 29, 2003.  On
May 29, 2003, Dr. Jeffrey F. Poore,  our President and Chief Executive  Officer;
Randall A.  Mackey,  our  Chairman  of the Board;  and Dr.  David M.  Silver,  a
director  of the  company,  attended  an oral  hearing  before a Nasdaq  Listing
Qualifications  Panel in Washington,  D.C. At the hearing Dr. Poore presented to
the panel a definitive  plan both for regaining  compliance  with the particular
deficiencies  cited in the  April  15,  2003,  letter  from the  Nasdaq  Listing
Qualifications  staff  and  sustaining  long  term  compliance  with the  Nasdaq
Marketplace Rules,  including all applicable  maintenance  criteria. On June 24,
2003 we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing  Qualifications Panel that
we were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market effective June 26, 2003. Our
securities trade on the OTC Bulletin Board effective June 26, 2003.  Because our
securities are delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and now trade on the OTC
Bulletin Board,  additional sales requirements on broker-dealers  will adversely
effect the ability of purchasers to sell our securities and the trading price of
our securities could decline.

         Moreover,  because our securities  currently  trade on the OTC Bulletin
Board, they are subject to the rules  promulgated under the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended,  which impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers  that sell  securities  governed by these rules to persons  other
than established customers and "accredited  investors"  (generally,  individuals
with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual  individual  income exceeding
$200,000 or $300,000  jointly with their spouses).  For such  transactions,  the
broker-dealer must determine whether persons that are not established  customers
or accredited  investors  qualify under the rule for purchasing  such securities
and must receive that person's written consent to the transaction prior to sale.
Consequently, these rules may adversely effect the ability of purchasers to sell
our securities and otherwise affect the trading market in our securities.

                                       6


Because our shares may be deemed "penny stocks," you may have difficulty selling
them in the secondary trading market.

         The Commission has adopted  regulations which generally define a "penny
stock" to be any non-Nasdaq  equity security that has a market price (as therein
defined) less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise  price of less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transactions by broker-dealers
involving a penny stock (unless exempt),  rules promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 require delivery,  prior to a transaction in a penny stock,
of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market.  Disclosure is
also required to be made about  compensation  payable to both the  broker-dealer
and the registered  representative  and current  quotations for the  securities.
Furthermore,  monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price
information for the penny stocks.

We are offering  our shares  on a  best efforts  basis and there is no guarantee
that we will sell the maximum shares offered.

         No  underwriter  has been  retained to purchase  the shares  offered in
connection  with  this  prospectus.  There can be no  assurance  that all of the
shares  offered will be sold and that we will receive all of the  estimated  net
proceeds  generated  from such a sale of all of the common stock.  If all of the
10,000,000  shares we are offering are not sold, we may be unable to fund all of
the intended uses for the net proceeds  anticipated  from this offering  without
obtaining funds from alternative  sources.  Alternative sources of funds may not
be available to us at a reasonable cost.

If the litigants in the class action lawsuits succeed on any of their claims and
we are  denied  coverage  for the  lawsuits  under our  Directors  and  Officers
Liability and Company  Insurance Policy, it could adversely affect our financial
condition and operations, and we would be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

         On May 14, 2003, a complaint  was filed in the United  States  District
Court, District of Utah, captioned Richard Meyer,  individually and on behalf of
all others similarly suited v. Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc., Thomas Motter,
Mark  Miehle and John  Hemmer,  Case No.  2:03  CV00448TC.  The  complaint  also
indicates  that it is a  "Class  Action  Complaint  for  Violations  of  Federal
Securities  Law and  Plaintiffs  Demand a Trial by Jury." We have retained legal
counsel to review the  complaint,  which  appears to be focused on alleged false
and  misleading  statements  pertaining  to  the  Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and
concerning a purchase order from Valdespino Associates  Enterprises and Westland
Financial Corporation.

         More specifically,  the complaint alleges that we falsely stated in our
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  filings  and press  releases  that we had
received  authorization to use an insurance  reimbursement CPT code from the CPT
Code Research and Development  Division of the American  Medical  Association in
connection with the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM),  adding that the CPT code provides
for a  reimbursement  to doctors of $57.00 per patient for use of the Blood Flow
Analyzer(TM).  The  complaint  also alleges  that on July 11, 2002,  we issued a
press  release  falsely  announcing  that we had received a purchase  order from
Valdespino  Associates  Enterprises and Westland  Financial  Corporation for 200
sets of our entire  portfolio  of  products,  with $70  million in systems to be
delivered  over a two-year  period,  then  another  $35  million of orders to be
completed  in the third year.  As a result of these  statements,  the  complaint
contends that the price of our shares of common stock was artificially  inflated
during the period from April 25, 2001 through May 14, 2003,  and the persons who
purchased our common shares during that period suffered substantial damages. The
complaint requests judgment for unspecified damages,  together with interest and
attorney's fees.

         We dispute having issued false and misleading statements concerning the
Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and  a  purchase  order  from  Valdespino  Associates
Enterprises and Westland Financial  Corporation.  On April 25, 2001, we issued a
press release that stated we had received  authorization to use common procedure
terminology or CPT code number 92120 for our Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). This press
release was based on a letter we received  from the CPT  Editorial  Research and
Development  Department of the American Medical  Association  authorizing use of
common  procedure  terminology  or CPT code  number  92120  for our  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM), for reimbursement purposes for doctors using the device.

         Currently,  there is reimbursement by insurance payors to doctors using
the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) in 22 states and partial reimbursement in four other
states. The amount of reimbursement to doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM)
generally ranges from $56.00 to $76.00 per patient, depending upon the insurance
payor. Insurance payors providing  reimbursement for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM)
have the  discretion to increase or reduce the amount of  reimbursement.  We are
endeavoring to obtain  reimbursement  by insurance  payors in other states where
there is currently no reimbursement  being made. We believe we have continued to
correctly  represent in our Securities and Exchange  Commission  filings that we
have  received  authorization  from the CPT Editorial  Research and  Development
Department of the American Medical  Association to use CPT code number 92120 for
our Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM),  for reimbursement  purposes for doctors using the
device.

         On July 11, 2002,  we issued a press  release that stated we received a
purchase order from Valdespino  Associates  Enterprises  and Westland  Financial
Corporation for 200 complete sets of our entire product  portfolio of diagnostic
and surgical equipment for Mexican ophthalmic practitioners, to be followed by a
second order of 100 sets of equipment. The press release was based on a purchase

                                       7


order  dated  July  10,  2002  that we  entered  into  with  Westland  Financial
Corporation  for the sale of 200 complete  sets of our  surgical and  diagnostic
equipment to Mexican  ophthalmic  practitioners.  The press  release also stated
that the initial  order was for $70 million of our equipment to be filled over a
two-year  period  followed by the second order of $35 million in equipment to be
completed in the third year.  The press  release  further  stated that  delivery
would be made in traunches of 25 complete sets of our equipment, beginning in 30
days from the date of the purchase order.

         On September  13, 2002,  the board of directors  issued a press release
updating   the  status  of  our  product   sales  to  the   Mexican   ophthalmic
practitioners.  In that  press  release  the  board  stated  that we had been in
discussions for the prior nine months with Westland Financial Corporation, aimed
at supplying our medical device products to the Mexican market.  In the past, we
have had a business  relationship with Westland  Financial.  Upon investigation,
the board of directors had determined that the purchase order  referenced in the
July 11, 2002 press  release was not of such a nature as to be  enforceable  for
the purpose of sales or revenue  recognition.  In addition,  we had not sent any
shipment of medical products to Mexican  ophthalmic  practitioners  nor received
payment for those products pursuant to those discussions. The September 13, 2002
press  release  also stated  that  discussions  were  continuing  with  Westland
Financial  Corporation  regarding sales and marketing activities for our medical
device products in Mexico, but we could not, at the time, predict or provide any
assurance that any transactions would result.

         On June 2, 2003, a complaint  was filed in the United  States  District
Court captioned  Michael Marrone v. Paradigm Medical  Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas
Motter, Mark Miehle and John Hemmer, Case No. 2:03 CV00513 PGC. On or about June
11,  2003,  a  complaint  was filed in the same  United  States  District  Court
captioned  Milian v. Paradigm  Medical  Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas Motter,  Mark
Miehle and John Hemmer,  Case No. 2:03  CV00617PGC.  Both  complaints seek class
action  status.  These  cases are  substantially  similar in nature to the Meyer
case,  including the contention that as a result of allegedly  false  statements
regarding the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and the purchase  order from  Valdespino
Associates  Enterprises  and Westland  Financial  Corporation,  the price of our
common stock was artificially  inflated and the persons who purchased our common
shares during the class period suffered  substantial  damages. The cases request
judgment for unspecified  damages,  together with interest and attorneys'  fees.
These cases have now been consolidated with the Meyer case into a single action.
We believe the  consolidated  cases are without  merit and intend to  vigorously
defend and protect our interests in the said cases.

         We  were  issued  a  Directors  and  Officers   Liability  and  Company
Reimbursement Policy by United States Fire Insurance Company for the period from
July 10, 2002 to July 10, 2003 that  contains a $5,000,000  limit of  liability,
which is excess of a $250,000 retention. The officers and directors named in the
consolidated  cases have  requested  coverage  under the  policy.  U.S.  Fire is
currently  investigating  whether it may have a right to deny  coverage  for the
consolidated  cases based upon policy  terms,  conditions  and  exclusions or to
rescind the policy based upon  misrepresentations  contained in our  application
for insurance.

         We have not paid any  amounts  toward  satisfaction  of any part of the
$250,000 retention that is applicable to the consolidated cases. We have advised
U.S. Fire that we cannot pay the $250,000 retention due to our current financial
circumstances.  As a  consequence,  on  January  8,  2004,  we  entered  into  a
non-waiver  agreement  with  U.S.  Fire in which  U.S.  Fire  agreed to fund and
advance our retention  obligation in  consideration  for which we have agreed to
reimburse U.S. Fire the sum of $5,000 a month, for a period of six months,  with
the first of such payments due on February 15, 2004.  Thereafter,  commencing on
August 15, 2004,  we are  currently  required to reimburse  U.S. Fire the sum of
$10,000 per month until the entire  amount of $250,000  has been  reimbursed  to
U.S. Fire.

         In the event U.S. Fire  determines  that we or the former  officers and
directors named in the consolidated cases are not entitled to coverage under the
policy,  or that it is entitled to rescind the policy,  or should we be declared
in default under the  non-waiver  agreement,  then we agree to pay U.S. Fire, on
demand,  the full amount of all costs  advanced by U.S.  Fire,  except for those
amounts  that we may  have  reimbursed  to U.S.  Fire  pursuant  to the  monthly
payments due under the non-waiver agreement.

         We will be in default under the non-waiver agreement if we fail to make
any payment due to U.S. Fire  thereunder  when such payment is due, or institute
proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent.  U.S. Fire's  obligation
to advance  defense costs under the agreement  will  terminate in the event that
the  $5,000,000  policy  limit of liability is  exhausted.  If U.S.  Fire denies
coverage for the  consolidated  cases under the policy and we are not successful
in defending and protecting our interests in the cases,  resulting in a judgment
against us for substantial  damages,  we would not be able to pay such liability
and, as a result, would be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

         On July 10,  2003,  an action was filed in the United  States  District
Court,  District  of Utah,  by  Innovative  Optics,  Inc.  and  Barton  Dietrich
Investments,  L.P.  Defendants  include us, Thomas Motter,  Mark Miehle and John
Hemmer, former officers of the company. The complaint claims that Innovative and
Barton entered into an asset purchase  agreement with us on January 31, 2002, in
which we agreed to purchase all the assets of  Innovative in  consideration  for
the issuance of 1,310,000  shares of the Company's  common stock to  Innovative.
The complaint  claims we breached the asset  purchase  agreement.  The complaint
also claims that we allegedly made false and misleading statements pertaining to
the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and  concerning a purchase  order from  Valdespino

                                       8


Associates Enterprises and Westland Financial Corporation.  The purpose of these
statements,  according to the  complaint,  was to induce  Innovative to sell its
assets and  purchase  the shares of our common  stock at  artificially  inflated
prices while simultaneously  deceiving Innovative and Barton into believing that
the  Company's  shares were worth more than they  actually  were.  The complaint
contends that had Innovative and Barton known the truth, the complaint contends,
they would not have sold  Innovative  to us, would not have  purchased our stock
for the  assets  of  Innovative,  or would not have  purchased  the stock at the
inflated prices that were paid. The complaint  further contends that as a result
of the allegedly false  statements,  Innovative and Barton suffered  substantial
damages in an amount to be proven at trial.

         The  complaint  also claims that  491,250 of the shares to be issued to
Innovative in the asset purchase  transaction  were not issued on a timely basis
and we also did not  file a  registration  statement  with  the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission within five months of the closing date of the asset purchase
transaction.  As a result, the complaint alleges that the value of the shares of
our  common  stock  issued  to  Innovative  in  the  transaction  declined,  and
Innovative and Barton  suffered  damages in an amount to be proven at trial.  We
filed an answer to the complaint and also filed counterclaims against Innovative
and Barton for breach of contract. We believe the complaint is without merit and
intend to vigorously  defend and protect our interests in the action.  If we are
not  successful  in  defending  and  protecting  our  interests  in this action,
resulting in a judgment against us for substantial damages, and U.S. Fire denies
coverage in the  litigation  under the  Directors  and  Officers  Liability  and
Company Reimbursement Policy, we would not be able to pay such liability and, as
a result, would be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

         On October 14, 2003, an action was filed in the Third Judicial District
Court,  Salt  Lake  County,  State of Utah,  captioned  Albert  Kinzinger,  Jr.,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated vs. Paradigm Medical
Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas  Motter,  Mark Miehle,  Randall A.  Mackey,  and John
Hemmer,  Case No.  030922608.  The complaint  also indicates that it is a "Class
Action Complaint for Violations of Utah Securities Laws and Plaintiffs  Demand a
Trial by Jury." We have retained  legal counsel to review the  complaint,  which
appears to be focused on alleged  false or misleading  statements  pertaining to
the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM).  More  specifically,  the complaint alleges that we
falsely stated in Securities and Exchange  Commission filings and press releases
that we had received  authorization to use an insurance  reimbursement  CPT code
from the CPT Code  Research and  Development  Division of the  American  Medical
Association in connection with the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM),  adding that the CPT
code provides for a reimbursement to doctors of $57.00 per patient for the Blood
Flow Analyzer(TM).

         The purpose of these  statements,  according to the  complaint,  was to
induce investors to purchase shares of our Series E preferred stock in a private
placement  transaction at artificially  inflated prices.  The complaint contends
that as a result of these statements, the investors that purchased shares of our
Series E preferred stock in the private offering suffered substantial damages to
be proven at trial.  The complaint  also alleges that we sold Series E preferred
shares  without  registering  the sale of such shares or  obtaining an exemption
from registration.  The complaint requests rescission,  compensatory damages and
treble damages,  including  interest and attorneys'  fees. We filed an answer to
the  complaint.  We  believe  the  complaint  is  without  merit  and  intend to
vigorously  defend our  interests  in the action.  If we are not  successful  in
defending and  protecting  our interests in the action,  resulting in a judgment
against  us for  substantial  damages,  and U.S.  Fire  denies  coverage  in the
litigation under the Directors and Officers Liability and Company  Reimbursement
Policy,  we would not be able to pay such liability  and, as a result,  would be
forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

If the litigants in other  lawsuits and  threatened  lawsuits  succeed on any of
their claims, it could adversely affect our financial  condition and operations,
and we would be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

         We received a demand  letter  dated  December 30, 2002 from counsel for
Thomas F. Motter,  our former Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer.  Mr. Motter
claims in the letter that he was entitled to certain  stock options that had not
been issued to him in a timely  manner.  By the time the options  were  actually
issued to him,  however,  they had  expired.  Mr.  Motter  contends  that if the
options had been issued in a timely  manner,  he would have  exercised them in a
manner that would have given him a  substantial  benefit.  Mr.  Motter  requests
restitution  for the loss of the financial  opportunity.  Mr. Motter also claims
that he was defrauded by us by not being given an extended employment  agreement
when he terminated the change of control agreement that he had entered into with
us.

         Mr. Motter is further claiming payment for accrued vacation time during
the 13 years he had been employed by the Company,  asserting  that he only had a
total of four weeks of  vacation  during that  period.  Finally,  Mr.  Motter is
threatening a shareholder  derivative  action against us because of the board of
directors'  alleged failure to conduct an investigation  into conversations that
took place in a chat room on Yahoo. Mr. Motter asserts that certain  individuals
participating  in  the  conversations  were  our  officers  or  directors  whose
interests  were in conflict  with the interest of the  shareholders.  We believe
that Mr.  Motter's  claims  and  assertions  are  without  merit  and  intend to
vigorously defend against any legal action that Mr. Motter may bring.


                                       9


         An action was filed on June 20, 2003,  in the Third  Judicial  District
Court, Salt Lake County,  State of Utah (Civil No. 030914195) by CitiCorp Vendor
Finance, Inc., formerly known as Copelco Capital, Inc. The complaint claims that
$49,626  plus  interest  is due for the leasing of two copy  machines  that were
delivered to our Salt Lake City facilities on or about April of 2000. The action
also seeks an award of attorney's fees and costs incurred in the collection.  We
dispute the amounts allegedly owed,  asserting that the equipment it returned to
the leasing  company did not work  properly.  A responsive  pleading has not yet
been filed. We are currently engaged in settlement discussions with CitiCorp.

         We received demand letters dated July 18, 2003,  September 26, 2003 and
November 10, 2003 from counsel for Douglas A. MacLeod,  M.D., a  shareholder  of
the  company.  In the July 18, 2003  letter,  Dr.  MacLeod  demands  that he and
certain  entities  with which he is involved or controls,  namely the Douglas A.
MacLeod, M.D. Profit Sharing Trust, St. Marks' Eye Institute and Milan Holdings,
Ltd., be issued a total of 2,296,667  shares of our common stock and warrants to
purchase  1,192,500  shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.25 per
share. Dr. MacLeod claims that these common shares and warrants are owing to him
and the related  entities  under the terms of a mutual release dated January 16,
2003,  which he and the  related  entities  entered  into with us.  Dr.  MacLeod
renewed his  request  for these  additional  common  shares and  warrants in the
September  26, 2003 and  November 10, 2003 demand  letters.  We believe that Dr.
MacLeod's  claims and  assertions  are without merit and that neither he nor the
related  entities are entitled to any  additional  shares of our common stock or
any  additional  warrants  under the terms of the mutual  release.  We intend to
vigorously defend against any legal action that Dr. MacLeod may bring.

         On August 3, 2003, a complaint was filed against us by Corinne  Powell,
a former employee, in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State
of Utah (Civil No. 030918364).  Defendants consist of the Company and Randall A.
Mackey, Dr. David M. Silver and Keith D. Ignotz,  directors of the company.  The
complaint alleges that at the time we laid off Ms. Powell on March 25, 2003, she
was owed  $2,030 for  business  expenses,  $11,063 for  accrued  vacation  days,
$12,818 for unpaid  commissions,  the fair market value of 50,000 stock  options
exercisable  at  $5.00  per  share  that  she  claims  she  was  prevented  from
exercising,  attorney's  fees and a continuing  wage penalty  under Utah law. We
dispute the amounts  allegedly owed and intend to vigorously  defend and protect
our interests in the action.

         On September 10, 2003, an action was filed against us by Larry Hicks in
the Third Judicial District Court,  Salt Lake County,  State of Utah, (Civil No.
030922220), for payments due under a consulting agreement with us. The complaint
claims that monthly payments of $3,083 are due for the months of October 2002 to
October 2003 under a consulting  agreement  and, if the agreement is terminated,
for the sum of  $110,000  minus  whatever  we have paid Mr.  Hicks prior to such
termination,  plus costs,  attorney's  fees and a wage penalty  pursuant to Utah
law.  We dispute  the amount  allegedly  owed and  intend to  vigorously  defend
against such action.

If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we would be required to eliminate
certain activities that would adversely effect our operations.

         We may  require  substantial  funds  for  various  purposes,  including
continuing research and development,  expanding clinical trials,  completing the
FDA approval  process for our products  (including the Photon(TM) laser system),
and  manufacturing  and  marketing our existing  products.  We will need to seek
additional capital,  possibly through public or private sales of our securities,
in order to fund our activities on a long-term basis.  Adequate funds may not be
available  when  needed or on terms  acceptable  to us.  Insufficient  funds may
require us to delay,  scale back or eliminate certain or all of our research and
development  programs or to license third parties to  commercialize  products or
technologies  that  we  would  otherwise  seek to  develop  ourself,  which  may
materially adversely affect our continued operations.

The recent  loss  of members  of senior  management  could  adversely affect our
operations.

         Our success largely  depends on a number of key employees.  The loss of
one or more of these  employees  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on us,
including the development and sale of eye surgery  systems.  On August 30, 2002,
Thomas F.  Motter  resigned  as our  Chairman  of the Board and Chief  Executive
Officer,  and Mark R. Miehle was terminated as our President and Chief Operating
Officer. The reason for these management changes was that the board of directors
determined  that a change in the  leadership  and  direction  of our company was
necessary due to  management's  inability to meet certain goals  including those
relating to sales and cost control.  On June 3, 2003,  Heber C. Maughan resigned
as our Vice  President  of Finance,  Treasurer  and Chief  Financial  Officer to
pursue other business opportunities.  The recent loss of these members of senior
management could have a significant  adverse effect on us and our operations and
prospects.  We had no key man insurance on either Mr. Motter,  Mr. Miehle or Mr.
Maughan.

Our research activities may not result in any commercially profitable products.

         The science and technology of medical  products,  including  lasers, is
rapidly evolving.  Our medical systems may require significant further research,
development,  testing and  regulatory  clearances.  They are also subject to the
risks of failure  inherent in the  development  of products  based on innovative
technologies.  These  risks  include  the  possibility  that  any  or all of the
proposed  products  will prove to be  ineffective  or unsafe;  that they fail to
receive  necessary  regulatory  clearances;   that  the  proposed  products  are
uneconomical;  that  others  hold  proprietary  rights  which  preclude  us from
marketing such products; or that others market better products.  Accordingly, we
are unable to predict  whether our  research  and  development  activities  will
result in any commercially  profitable  products.  Further,  due to the extended
testing and  regulatory  review process  required,  we may be unable to sell our
current and proposed  products.  There is also no guarantee that we will be able
to develop and sell a glaucoma surgery system.

We are uncertain of obtaining FDA approval for our  Photon(TM)  laser system and
further  development of the Photon(TM) is on hold until our financial  situation
improves, and we may lose our rights to manufacture or sell the Photon(TM) laser
system if we are unable to agree on the correct  method of  calculating  royalty
payments under a license agreement.

         We  are  subject  to  substantial  regulation  by  the  Food  and  Drug
Administration  or FDA and other  federal  and state  regulatory  agencies.  FDA
regulations  require  us to obtain  either  510(k)  clearance  or  pre-marketing
approval prior to marketing a product in the United States.  We are also subject
to foreign  regulation and must receive  various types of approvals from foreign
government  agencies  prior to  selling  our  products  in some  countries.  The
clearance  and  approval  processes  for  both  the FDA and  foreign  regulatory
authorities  are costly,  time  consuming  and  uncertain.  In addition,  we are
required to obtain FDA approval before exporting a device which has not received
FDA  marketing  clearance  or  approval.  We may never be able to  obtain  these
required government approvals.  Delays or failure to obtain such approvals would
materially and adversely  effect us, as would changes in existing  requirements.
We have  received  510(k)  clearance  from  the FDA for our  ultrasonic  surgery
systems  allowing  us to sell both  devices in the United  States.  We have also
received 510(k) clearance to market our Blood Flow Analyzer(TM).

         In May 1995, we were granted an  investigational  device  exemption for
our Photon(TM)  laser system allowing us to conduct  clinical studies in support
of our application with the FDA to obtain approval to market the system.  During
the clinical  trials,  we discovered  that the  Photon(TM)  laser system may not
effectively remove hard (dense or impacted) cataracts. In May, 1998, we received
FDA clearance to conduct  clinical tests on soft  cataracts.  We believe the FDA
will approve our 510(k)  predicate  device  application for the Photon(TM) laser
system  because in the United States most  cataracts  are removed  before tissue
hardens.   We  received  an  FDA  warning  letter  in  August  2000   concerning
deficiencies   in  the  Phase  I  clinical  trials  and,  after  making  several
submissions  to the FDA,  we  received a letter  from the FDA in  February  2001
stating that the  deficiencies  had been corrected and the clinical trials could
continue.

         We have completed the authorized clinical studies and, in October 2001,
made a supplemental  submission to the FDA regarding the 510(k) application.  We
received a  preliminary  review from the FDA of our  supplemental  submission in
December  2001  and  submitted  additional  clinical  information  to the FDA on
February 6, 2002. On May 7, 2002,  we received a letter from the FDA  requesting
further clinical information.  We have generated additional clinical information
in response to the letter and are  uncertain if we will make a submission to the
FDA with the additional  clinical  information.  Because of the "going  concern"
status of the  company,  management  has focused  efforts on those  products and
activities  that will,  in its  opinion,  achieve  the most  resource  efficient
short-term cash flow to the company. As reflected in the results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003,  diagnostic  products are currently our major focus and the
Photon(TM) and other extensive  research and development  projects have been put
on hold pending future  evaluation  when our financial  position  improves.  Our
focus is not on any specific  diagnostic product or products,  but rather on our
entire group of diagnostic products.

         We have also  received  FDA  approval  to  manufacture  and  export the
Photon(TM)  laser  system  internationally.  However,  we have not yet  obtained
approval from some foreign  countries to market the laser product where approval
is necessary. We anticipate that many contemplated applications of our currently
existing and planned products will be subject to the lengthy regulatory approval
process, including preclinical studies, clinical trials and extensive regulatory
review.  This  process  could take many years and  require  the  expenditure  of
substantial resources.

         The Photon(TM)  laser system is protected  under a United States patent
issued  to Daniel M.  Eichenbaum,  M.D.  in 1987 and  subsequently  assigned  to
PhotoMed  International,  Inc. and a Japanese  patent issued to us in 1997.  The
United  States  patent  is due to expire  in  September  2004.  We  secured  the
exclusive  worldwide  rights to this patent from  PhotoMed by means of a license
agreement  dated July 7, 1993.  The license  agreement  expires  when the United
States  patent  rights  expire in September  2004.  PhotoMed and Dr.  Eichenbaum
brought  legal action  against us on September  11, 2000  involving an amount of
royalties that are allegedly due and owing to them from the sale of equipment by
us under the license agreement.

                                       11


         We have paid  $14,736 to bring all royalty  payments up to date through
June 30, 2001. We have been working with  PhotoMed and Dr.  Eichenbaum to insure
that the royalty  calculations  have been correctly made. It is anticipated that
once the parties  agree on the correct  royalty  calculations,  the legal action
will be  dismissed.  However,  if the parties are unable to agree on a method of
calculating royalties,  there is risk that PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum may amend
the  complaint  to  request   termination  of  the  license  agreement  and,  if
successful,  we would lose our rights to manufacture or sell the Photo(TM) laser
system.

Our executives lack operating experience.

         Our  executives   rely  on  their   experience  and  skill  from  their
professional  occupations.  None of our  executives  has  direct  experience  in
managing a company that utilizes research and product development activities and
technology to such a high degree.

Purchasers  of our  common shares could  experience  dilution from our tendering
puts under a private equity line of credit agreement with Triton West.

         On June 30,  2000,  we  entered  into a private  equity  line of credit
agreement  with Triton West Group,  Inc.,  in which Triton  agreed to provide an
amount up to $20,000,000  to us in order to purchase put common shares  pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the agreement.  Under the agreement, we may elect
for a period of three  years from the  effective  date of  December 8, 2000 (the
date on which the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  declared  effective  a
registration  statement  registering  shares  to be  purchased  by Triton on put
transactions  with us) to  exercise  our right to tender a put notice to Triton.
The put notice  requires Triton to purchase shares of our common stock at 88% of
the market price on the trading day immediately  following the valuation period,
which is a period of five trading days beginning two days before the trading day
on which the put notice is deemed to be  delivered  and two  trading  days after
such date. Under certain  conditions,  the purchase price will be reduced to 85%
of the  market  price  of our  common  stock.  The  agreement  provides  certain
restrictions on the tendering of puts. The maximum amount of each put (which may
vary from $750,000 to  $2,000,000)  is to be determined  according to a schedule
based on the  trading  price of our common  stock at the time and the average 30
day volume of such shares.  There must be a minimum of 15 business  days between
puts.  Moreover,  a  registration  statement must be effective  registering  the
shares of common stock  covered by the put.  There may be  significant  dilution
associated   with  tendering  put  notices  under  the   agreement.   Because  a
registration  statement is not effective  registering  the shares issuable under
the equity line of credit,  our equity line of credit is currently not available
as a source of equity.  The equity line of credit agreement expired by its terms
on December 8, 2003, but the Company is currently in the process of renewing the
agreement.

Our products may become obsolete due to rapid technological change.

         Our market is subject to rapid  technological  change.  Development  by
others of new or  improved  products,  processes  or  technologies  may make our
products obsolete or less competitive.  Accordingly,  we must continue investing
in  research  and  development  on our  existing  products  and to  develop  new
products.  Despite  such  investment,  our current or proposed  products  may be
unsuccessful.

Our Photon(TM) laser system  could receive competition  from other laser systems
that are well financed with well recognized trade names.

         Our Photon(TM) laser system will potentially  receive  competition from
other laser systems, such as excimer, holmium (Ho:YAG),  Erbium (Er:YAG), Nd:YLF
(Neodymium:Yttium-Lithium-Fluoride) or lasers of other wave lengths. Competition
may also come from other medical devices and other surgical techniques. Further,
the cataract  surgical  device  industry is dominated by a small number of large
competitors  that are well  established  in the  marketplace,  have  experienced
management,  are well financed and have a well recognized  trade name related to
their  product  lines.  We may be unable to penetrate  the  existing  market and
acquire a sufficient  market  share to be  profitable.  Significant  competitive
factors   which  will  affect  future  sales   include   regulatory   approvals,
performance,   pricing,  timely  product  shipment,  safety,  customer  support,
convenience of use and patient and general market acceptance.

Our new products may  incur  unexpected  production problems, which would impact
our sales and profits.

         New  ventures,  particularly  those  involved  in  a  highly  technical
industry such as the medical industry,  have substantial  inherent risks.  These
risks  are  in  three   general   areas:   technical,   mechanical   and  human.
Notwithstanding any pre-production  planning,  new products can incur unexpected
problems in full scale production, which cannot always be foreseen or accurately
predicted.  Designs can become  unworkable,  for  unpredicted  reasons.  Quality
control and component  sourcing failures can also be expected from time to time.
Any business,  including ours, is substantially  dependent upon the capabilities
and performance of both management, engineering and sales personnel. Mistakes in
judgment or  performance  can be costly and,  in certain  instances,  disabling.
Therefore,  management  skill,  experience,  character  and  reliability  are of
significant importance.


                                       12


Mistakes may occur in the  design and manufacture  of our products, which  could
prevent or limit the sales of such products.

         The high-technology product line requires us to deal with suppliers and
subcontractors    supplying   highly   specialized   parts,   operating   highly
sophisticated  and narrow  tolerance  equipment and performing  highly technical
calculations.  Components must be custom designed and manufactured, which is not
only  complicated  and  expensive,  but can also  require  a number of months to
accomplish.  Slight  mistakes in either the design or manufacture  can result in
unsatisfactory parts that may not be correctable.  Because our business requires
the talents of various  professions,  mistakes  from very slight  oversights  or
miscommunications  can  occur,  resulting  not only in  costly  delays  and lost
orders,  but  also in  disagreements  regarding  liability  and,  in any  event,
extended delays in production.  Moreover,  we rely on suppliers that are related
to each other for parts and equipment.  When dealing with related  suppliers the
terms on which parts and  equipment  are  purchased  may not be as  favorable as
could be obtained from unrelated third-party suppliers.

We are dependent upon a limited number of key suppliers for components and parts
used in our products and the interruption in the supply  of these components and
parts could impede our ability to deliver our products to market.

         We currently purchase  components and parts used in our products from a
limited number of key suppliers. Although we maintain alternative suppliers, our
reliance on our  principal  suppliers  could  result in delays  associated  with
redesigning  a product  due to an  inability  to obtain  an  adequate  supply of
required  components and parts,  and reduced  control over pricing,  quality and
timely delivery.  The loss of any of these principal  suppliers or the inability
of  a  supplier  to  meet  performance  and  quality  specifications,  requested
quantities  or  delivery  schedules  could cause our  revenues  to  decline.  In
addition,  any  interruption  or  discontinuance  in the supply of components or
parts could have an adverse  effect on our  business,  results of operation  and
financial  condition.  Further,  a  significant  price  increase from any of our
principal  suppliers  could  cause our  profitability  to  decline  if we cannot
increase the prices of our products to our  customers.  Our principal  suppliers
include Capistrano Labs, U.S. Ultrasound and Anello.

No independent marketing studies have been made to confirm the commercial demand
for the Photon(TM) laser system and the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM).

         We  believe  that  there  is  substantial  commercial  demand  for  our
Photon(TM)  laser  system  and our  Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  for the eyes at a
profitable  price.  However,  this  belief is solely  based on our  management's
experience and judgment.  At this time, there have been no independent marketing
studies by  independent  professional  marketing  firms to reliably  confirm the
extent of this demand, the price ranges within which it exists and the amount of
promotion necessary to exploit whatever demand does exist.

Our Photon(TM) laser  system may not  be accepted  in the marketplace because it
does not remove hard cataracts.

         Our products may not be accepted in the  marketplace.  Such  acceptance
will depend on a number of factors  including  receiving  regulatory  approvals,
demonstrating  the safety,  and advantages of our products over existing systems
and  techniques.  Our Photon(TM)  laser system may never gain market  acceptance
since the system does not effectively remove hard (dense or impacted) cataracts.
Further,  we may be unable to  successfully  market  our  products  even if they
perform    successfully    in   clinical    applications.    Our    Precisionist
ThirtyThousand(TM)  Workstation(TM) may not gain acceptance unless we can reduce
or eliminate  the vacuum surge and develop  additional,  complementary  surgical
devices for installation in that host system.  Vacuum surge is a phenomenon that
occurs when the tip of the  ultrasonic  needle is obstructed  by target  tissue,
allowing  pressure to build up and, if the pressure is not  released,  a rush of
fluid goes from the chamber of the eye into the needle to equalize the pressure.
The result can be  complications  to the eye such as posterior  capsule rupture,
iris capture and chamber collapse.  We believe this phenomenon affects all other
ultrasonic cataract removal systems currently on the market.

Our pending patents may not be perfected  and our present or  future patents may
infringe  upon  the  patents of others,  which  could  restrict  or  prevent the
manufacture and sale of our products.

         We depend on our  ability to  license  and  obtain  patents  and on the
adherence to confidentiality  agreements executed by employees,  consultants and
third-parties  to  maintain  the  proprietary  nature of our  technology  and to
operate without  infringing on the proprietary rights of others. Our laser probe
is protected by a United States  patent issued in 1987 to Daniel M.  Eichenbaum,
M.D.  These  patent  rights  expire in  September  2004.  Patents have also been
granted  to the Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  in the  United  States and the United
Kingdom, to the Dicon(TM) Topographer in the United States, and to the Dicon(TM)
Perimeter in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland. The
pending  patents may not be perfected.  Also, our present or future products may
be found to infringe  upon the patents of others.  If our  products are found to
infringe on the patents,  or otherwise  impermissibly  utilize the  intellectual
property of others, our development, manufacture and sale of such products could
be severely  restricted or prohibited.  We may be required to obtain licenses to

                                       13


utilize such patents or proprietary rights of others and acceptable terms may be
unavailable. If we do not obtain such licenses, the development,  manufacture or
sale of products requiring such licenses would be materially adversely affected.
In  addition,  we could incur  substantial  costs in defending  ourself  against
challenges  to our patents or  infringement  claims made by third  parties or in
enforcing any patents we may obtain.

Because  patents  only provide  limited  protection,  others  could  produce and
distribute  products similar to the Photon(TM) laser system,  the Mentor systems
and the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM).

         We rely on the  protections  for our  products  that we hope to realize
under the United  States and  foreign  patent  laws.  However,  patents  provide
limited  protections.  We  have a  United  States  and  Japanese  patent  on the
hand-held probe design and  applications  for various foreign patents are either
pending or planned, and the patents for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) for the eyes
are  reported by Occular  Blood Flow,  Ltd. to have been  approved in the United
States and the United Kingdom. Similar devices,  however, could be designed that
do not  infringe on our patent  rights,  but that are similar  enough to compete
against our patented products.  Moreover,  it is possible that an unpatented but
prior  existing  device or design may exist that has never been made  public and
therefore is not known to us or the industry in general.  Such a device could be
introduced into the market without infringing on our current patent. If any such
competing  non-infringing  devices  are  produced  and  distributed,  our profit
potential  would  be  seriously  limited,   which  would  seriously  impair  our
viability.

Some of our products may be denied reimbursement  by third-party payors, such as
government programs and private insurance plans.

         We anticipate  that our medical  devices will generally be purchased by
ophthalmologists  and hospitals that will then bill various  third-party payors,
such as government  programs and private  insurance  plans,  for the health care
services provided to their patients.  Government agencies generally reimburse at
a fixed rate based on the procedure performed.  Some of the potential procedures
for which our medical devices may be used, however,  may be denied reimbursement
as elective.  In addition,  third-party  payors may deny  reimbursement  if they
determine  that the use of our  products  was  unnecessary,  inappropriate,  not
cost-effective,  experimental  or used for a  non-approved  indication.  Certain
purchasers of our Blood Flow Analyzer,(TM),  for example, have had difficulty in
obtaining  reimbursement  from  insurance  carriers.  Even  if  we  receive  FDA
clearances  for  our  products,   third-party   payors  may  nevertheless   deny
reimbursement. Furthermore, third-party payors increasingly challenge the prices
charged for medical products and services. Reimbursement from third-party payors
may be  unavailable  or if  available,  that  reimbursement  may be limited when
compared with  reimbursement  for  competitive  procedures,  thereby  materially
adversely affecting our ability to profitably sell products.  The market for our
products  could also be adversely  affected by recent federal  legislation  that
reduces  reimbursements  under the capital cost pass- through system utilized in
connection  with the Medicare  program.  Failure by hospitals and other users of
our  products  to obtain  reimbursement  from  third-party  payors or changes in
government and private  third-party  payors' policies toward  reimbursement  for
procedures employing our products would have a material adverse effect on us.

Congress  may  introduce  legislation  that  could  result  in  price limits and
utilization controls on our products.

         Members of Congress have  introduced  legislation  to change aspects of
the delivery and financing of health care services.  Such legislation to control
or reduce public (Medicare and Medicaid) and private spending on health care, to
reform the  methods of payment  for health  care goods and  services by both the
public and private sectors,  and to provide  universal access to health care may
be passed.  We cannot predict what form this  legislation may take or the effect
of such  legislation  on our  business.  It is  possible  that  the  legislation
ultimately enacted by Congress will contain provisions resulting in price limits
and utilization  controls which may reduce the rate of increase in the growth of
the ophthalmic laser market or otherwise  adversely  affect our business.  It is
also  possible  that future  legislation  could result in  modifications  to the
nation's  public and private  health care  insurance  systems  which will affect
reimbursement  policies in a manner  adverse to us. We also cannot  predict what
other  legislation  relating to our business or the health care  industry may be
enacted,  including legislation relating to third-party  reimbursement,  or what
effect legislation may have on the results of our operations.

Because we  have  minimal  direct sales  experience, our  sales  program  may be
unsuccessful.

         We  commenced  a direct  sales  program in July 1993 with  three  sales
representatives  to market our products.  In July 2000,  four  additional  sales
representative  were hired. In August 2001, 15 additional sales  representatives
were hired, bringing the total number of sales representatives to 22. The number
of sales  representatives has been reduced to five as a result of our efforts to
reduce costs and absence of the anticipated FDA approval of the Photon(TM) laser
system. However, we have minimal direct sales experience and may need to recruit
additional  qualified  personnel  for this  purpose.  Our sales  program  may be
unsuccessful or we may be unable to attract and retain qualified distributors on
favorable terms.


                                       14


Our product liability insurance could be  inadequate to cover  liabilities if we
face significant product liability claims against us.

         The nature of our business  exposes it to risk from  product  liability
claims  and there can be no  assurance  that we can  avoid  significant  product
liability  exposure.  We maintain product liability insurance providing coverage
up to $2,000,000 per claim with an aggregate  policy limit of $2,000,000.  There
is  substantial  doubt that this amount of insurance  would be adequate to cover
liabilities should we face significant  claims. A successful  products liability
claim brought  against us could have a material  adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition.  Further, product liability insurance
is becoming increasingly  expensive,  and there can be no assurance that we will
successfully  maintain adequate product liability insurance at acceptable rates,
or at all. Should we be unable to maintain adequate product liability insurance,
our ability to market our products would be significantly  impaired.  Any losses
that we may suffer from future  liability  claims or a voluntary or  involuntary
recall of our products and the damage that any product  liability  litigation or
voluntary or involuntary  recall may do to the reputation and  marketability  of
our products  would have a material  adverse  effect on our business,  operating
results and financial condition.

Our future products sales in foreign countries could be adversely  effected by a
significant  increase  in value of the U.S.  dollar  against  local  currencies,
economic and political instability,  and changes in the regulatory processes and
other regulations.

         We anticipate  that a significant  portion of our future  product sales
will be in foreign  countries.  Because we quote  prices  for our  products  and
accept payment on sales principally in U.S. dollars, any significant increase in
the value of the U.S. dollar against local currencies may make our products less
competitive  with foreign  products.  The economic and political  instability of
some  foreign  countries  also may affect the  ability of  ophthalmologists  and
others to purchase our  products,  or the ability of potential  customers to pay
for the procedures for which our products are used. In addition,  other specific
risks in doing business in foreign  countries  include changes in the regulatory
processes affecting our products,  in controls governing foreign payments by our
customers, and in regulations, taxes and customs duties or requirements that may
be imposed on the  purchase of our  products.  The foreign  countries  where our
products  are  sold  include  but  are  not  limited  to  Argentina,  Australia,
Bangladesh,  Borneo,  Brazil,  Canada,  China,  Czechoslovakia,  Egypt,  France,
Germany,  Greece,  Hong  Kong,  India,  Israel,  Italy,  Japan,  Jordan,  Korea,
Malaysia,  Mexico, New Zealand,  Pakistan,  Peru,  Poland,  Puerto Rico, Russia,
Saudi Arabia,  Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan,  Thailand,  Turkey, United Kingdom, and
United Arab Emirates. Certain of countries may experience political, economic or
social instability, which could adversely affect our sales.

The market price of our securities could fluctuate significantly.

         Our  common  stock and Class A  warrants  were  delisted  on The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market  effective June 26, 2003 and currently trade on the OTC Bulletin
Board. Factors such as announcements by us of the regulatory status of products,
quarterly  variations  in our  financial  results,  the gain or loss of material
contracts, changes in management,  regulatory changes, trends in the industry or
stock market and announcements by competitors,  among other things,  could cause
the market price of such securities to fluctuate significantly.

We  may  issue  preferred shares  with preferences  in an equal or prior rank to
existing preferred shares.

         Our certificate of  incorporation  authorizes the issuance of shares of
"blank check" preferred  stock,  which will have such  designations,  rights and
preferences  as may be  determined  from time to time by our board of directors.
Accordingly,  our Board of Directors is empowered,  without stockholder approval
(but  subject  to  applicable  government  regulatory  restrictions),  to  issue
preferred stock with dividend,  liquidation,  conversion, voting or other rights
which could adversely  affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of
our common stock. Those terms and conditions may include preferences on an equal
or prior rank to existing  preferred  stock.  Those shares may be issued on such
terms and for such  consideration  as the board then deems  reasonable  and such
stock  shall  then  rank  equally  in  all  aspects  of  the  series  and on the
preferences and conditions so provided,  regardless of when issued. In the event
of  such  issuance,  the  preferred  stock  could  be  utilized,  under  certain
circumstances,  as a method of discouraging,  delaying or preventing a change in
control of our company.  As of January 31, 2004, the following  preferred shares
were  issued  and  outstanding:   5,627  shares  of  Series  A  preferred  stock
convertible  into 6,753 common shares;  8,986 shares of Series B preferred stock
convertible  into 10,783 common shares;  no shares of Series C preferred  stock;
5,000  shares of Series D preferred  stock;  1,000  shares of Series E preferred
stock  convertible  into  53,333  common  shares;  4,598.75  shares  of Series F
preferred stock convertible into 245,267 common shares;  and 1,981,560 shares of
Series G preferred stock convertible into 1,981,560 common shares.

Our preferred shares have rights  that amount to a preference over the shares of
this offering.

         Our preferred  shares have dividend and liquidation  rights that amount
to preferences over the shares of this offering.  We must pay any cash dividends
to our holders of preferred  shares before paying cash  dividends to the holders
of the shares of this offering.  The dividend rights of our preferred shares are
as follows: for Series A and Series B preferred shares, $.24 per share per annum
payable,  at our option, in cash from surplus  earnings;  for Series C preferred
shares,  12% non-cumulative  preferred shares payable,  at our option, in common
stock or cash from  surplus  earnings;  and for  Series D, E, F and G  preferred
shares, 8% non-cumulative  preferred dividends payable, at our option, in common
stock  or cash  from  surplus  earnings.  Upon  our  liquidation,  we  must  pay
preferential  distributions  to our  preferred  shareholders  before  paying any
distributions to holders of the shares of this offering.  The liquidation rights
of our preferred shares are as follows: for Series A preferred shares, $1.00 per
share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends;  for Series B preferred shares,  $4.00
per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends; for Series C preferred shares, the
stated  value of $100.00 per share,  plus  declared  but unpaid  dividends;  for
Series D preferred  shares,  the stated value of $1.75 per share,  plus declared
but unpaid dividends;  for Series E, F, and G preferred  shares,  the greater of
(i) the amount of distributions  such shares would have received had the holders
converted  such  preferred  shares  into  common  stock   immediately  prior  to
liquidation,  or (ii) the stated value of $100.00 per share,  plus  declared but
unpaid dividends.

Exercise of  outstanding  options and warrants will dilute existing stockholders
and could decrease the market price of our common stock

         As of January 31, 2004, we had issued and outstanding 25,509,868 shares
of our  common  stock,  shares  of  Series  A,  B,  E, F and G  preferred  stock
convertible into 2,080,743  shares of common stock, and outstanding  options and
warrants to purchase 8,096,708  additional shares of common stock. The existence
of the outstanding  preferred shares,  options and warrants may adversely effect
the market  price of our common  stock and the terms under which we could obtain
additional equity capital.

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

         We issued a stock dividend on our Series A preferred stock and Series B
preferred stock on January 8, 1996, to stockholders of record as of December 31,
1994. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common shares and do not expect
to declare or pay any cash or other dividends in the foreseeable  future so that
we may reinvest  earnings,  if any, into the  development  of the business.  The
holders of our Series A  preferred  stock,  Series B preferred  stock,  Series C
preferred stock, Series D preferred stock, Series E preferred stock and Series F
preferred  stock are  entitled  to  non-cumulative  cash  dividends  paid out of
surplus earnings.

None of the proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering will be placed in
escrow and therefore there are no investor protections for the return of
subscription funds once accepted.

         We have not  established  a  minimum  amount of  proceeds  that we must
receive in the offering before any proceeds may be accepted.  Once accepted, the
funds will be deposited into an account  maintained by us and considered general
assets of Paradigm.  None of the proceeds will be placed in any escrow, trust or
other arrangement.  Therefore,  there are no investor protections for the return
of subscription funds once accepted.

We have sole discretion in allocating the proceeds from the offering.

         All of the net proceeds of the offering, if any, have been allocated to
working capital (and not otherwise allocated for a specific purpose) and will be
used for such  purposes  as  management  may  determine  in its sole  discretion
without the need for stockholder approval with respect to any such allocations.

We may have  continuing  liability  following our  rescission  offer in  1996 to
Series B shareholders.

         We issued 493,000 shares of Series B preferred  stock in 1994 and 1995.
The Series B shares may not have been sold in compliance with certain aspects of
California  corporate law and federal and state  securities  laws.  Concurrently
with our July 1996 public offering, we provided the Series B shareholders with a
rescission  offer to  repurchase  all Series B  preferred  shares or  rescission
shares  owned by the  Series B  shareholders.  The  Series B  shareholders  were
offered the right to rescind  their  purchases and receive a refund of the price
paid by them of $4.00 per share plus an amount equal to the interest  thereon at
rates ranging from 6% to 12% per annum from the date the rescission  shares were
purchased  to July 25,  1996,  the  date our  public  offering  closed  and each
rescinding  shareholder was paid by us. The original purchasers of approximately
93% of the Series B shares  (460,250  shares)  rejected the rescission  offer by
responding  as  requested  in the  rescission  offer or by  failing  to return a
response  within 30 days of receiving the  rescission  offer.  Two  shareholders

                                       16


owning a combined  total of 32,750 shares  accepted the  rescission  offer.  The
rescission offer was designed to reduce any type of contingent  liability we may
be subject to in  connection  with its private  placement  of Series B preferred
stock.  However,  the  rescission  offer  may not have  fully  relieved  us from
exposure to contingent  liability  under federal or state  securities  laws. Not
every state statutorily  provides for voluntary  rescission offers. In addition,
other states,  although  authorizing  rescission offers, do not completely limit
the liability of the offeror.  Thus, we may have continuing liability in certain
states following the rescission offer.

We have indemnification agreements with  certain officers and directors that may
require us to indemnify them in a civil or criminal action.

         Our certificate of  incorporation  eliminates in certain  circumstances
the  liability of directors for monetary  damages for breach of their  fiduciary
duty as directors. We have entered into indemnification  agreements with certain
directors and officers.  Each such  indemnification  agreement  provides that we
will indemnify the indemnitee against expenses,  including reasonable attorneys'
fees,  judgments,  penalties,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably  incurred by him in connection  with any civil or criminal  action or
administrative  proceeding  arising  out of his  performance  of his duties as a
director or officer, other than an action instituted by the director or officer.
The indemnification  agreements will also require that we indemnify the director
or  other  party  thereto  in all  cases  to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by
applicable  law.  Each  indemnification  agreement  will permit the  director or
officer  that is party  thereto to bring suit to seek  recovery  of amounts  due
under the  indemnification  agreement and to recover the expenses of such a suit
if he or she is successful.

Our Board of Directors has the right to  issue additional shares of common stock
and to create  a new series  of preferred stock  which  could  dilute holders of
common stock.

         Our board of directors has the inherent right under applicable Delaware
law, for whatever value the board deems  adequate,  to issue  additional  common
shares up to the limit of shares authorized by the certificate of incorporation,
and, upon such  issuance,  all holders of shares of common stock,  regardless of
when they are issued,  thereafter  generally rank equally in all aspects of that
class of stock,  regardless of when issued.  Our board of directors likewise has
the inherent  right,  limited only by applicable  Delaware law and provisions of
the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of preferred shares in a
series, to create a new series of preferred shares and to establish  preferences
and all other terms and conditions in regard to such  newly-created  series. Any
of those  actions  will dilute the holders of common  shares and also affect the
relative  position  of  the  holders  of  any  series  of  any  class.   Current
stockholders have no rights to prohibit such issuances nor inherent "preemptive"
rights to purchase any such stock when offered.


                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         Our net proceeds from the sale of the 10,000,000 shares of common stock
being offered  hereby at an offering price of $.15 per share are estimated to be
$1,250,000,  after  deducting  offering  expenses  and  commissions,  which  are
estimated to be approximately $250,000. The net proceeds are intended to be used
over the next 12 months as follows:


       Application of Proceeds                     Amount         Percentage
      -----------------------                     ------          ----------

-------------------------------

(1)      Represents  funds required for the  implementation  of our direct sales
         force,  attendance at trade shows and production and  dissemination  of
         promotional materials.
(2)      A  majority  of  these  funds  will be used  for  the  enhancement  and
         upgrading of our current  products  approved for sale. These funds will
         also  pay  expenses  associated  with  conducting  and  evaluating  the
         clinical trials and seeking  government  approvals for our products and
         developing new products and patents,  including  approximately $225,000
         to  complete  the  clinical  trials and FDA  approval  process  for the
         Photon(TM) laser system, and approximately  $100,000 for developing the
         next generation of the P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope.

                                       17


(3)      Represents funds required to expand in-house manufacturing capabilities
         to reduce product costs.
(4)      These  funds  will  be used to pay our  obligations  to  suppliers  and
         vendors as well as royalty  obligations.  The  obligations to suppliers
         and vendors do not accrue any  interest.  We have  endeavored  and have
         been  successful  in settling the  obligations  owed to  suppliers  and
         vendors for amounts less than were owed at the time.
(5)      Working   capital  will  be   available   for  use  as  a  reserve  for
         contingencies.   In  the  event  cash  generated  from   operations  is
         insufficient to fund corporate overhead, working capital may be used to
         cover such deficiency.

         The  allocation  of the net  proceeds  set forth above  represents  our
estimates based upon our current  operating  plans and upon certain  assumptions
regarding  the  progress  of  the  development  of our  products,  technological
advances and changing competitive conditions, and assumptions regarding industry
and general economic  conditions and other conditions.  If all of the shares are
not sold in the offering,  the priority of each  application  of proceeds  noted
above  will be  reduced  proportionately.  Future  events,  including  problems,
delays,   expenses  and  complications   frequently   encountered  by  companies
developing new products,  as well as changes in  competitive  conditions and the
success or lack thereof of our research and  development  or marketing  efforts,
may make it necessary or advisable for us to reallocate  the net proceeds  among
the above users or use portions of the net proceeds for other purposes.

         Any reallocation of the net proceeds other than as provided above, will
be at the  discretion  of our  board  of  directors.  We  estimate  that the net
proceeds will be sufficient to fund our proposed  business and  operations for a
period of 12 months from the closing of the  offering.  If our  estimates  prove
incorrect,  we will have to seek  alternative  sources of financing  during such
period,  including debt and equity financing and the reduction of operating cost
and projected  growth plans. No assurance can be given that such financing could
be obtained by us on favorable  terms, if at all, and if we are unable to obtain
needed  financing,  our business  would be materially  adversely  affected.  The
timing and amount of  expenditures of the net proceeds of this offering may vary
depending upon the pace of our growth.

         Regarding the common shares being registered for resale in the offering
that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by certain  warrantholders,
the  holders  of such  warrants  are not  obligated  to  exercise  any of  their
warrants.  The last reported sale price of our common shares on the OTC Bulletin
Board on  February  23,  2004,  was $.15 per share.  Only  200,000 of our common
shares  underlying the warrants are exercisable for less than $.20 per share. As
a consequence,  except for the warrants to purchase  200,000 common shares,  the
outstanding  warrants  are not likely to be exercised  unless the trading  price
increases  substantially.  All other shares of our common stock being registered
for  resale  are  either  outstanding  or  will be  issued  upon  conversion  of
outstanding  Series G preferred  stock and we will  derive no proceeds  from the
conversion or subsequent  resales of such shares.  If there are any net proceeds
from the  exercise  of any  warrants,  we will use  these net  proceeds  to fund
working capital requirements.

         Pending application,  the net proceeds of the offering will be invested
in short-term,  high-grade  interest-bearing  savings accounts,  certificates of
deposit,  United  States  government  obligations,   money  market  accounts  or
short-term interest bearing obligations.


                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

         We have never paid any cash  dividends  on our common  stock and do not
anticipate  paying any cash  dividends  on our common  stock in the  foreseeable
future.  Dividends paid in cash pursuant to outstanding  shares of our Series A,
Series C, Series D,  Series E,  Series F and Series G  preferred  stock are only
payable  from our surplus  earnings and are  non-cumulative  and  therefore,  no
deficiencies  in dividend  payments from one year will be carried forward to the
next.  We  currently  intend  to retain  future  earnings,  if any,  to fund the
development and growth of our proposed  business and operations.  Any payment of
cash  dividends  in the future on the common  stock will be  dependent  upon our
financial  condition,  results  of  operations,  current  and  anticipated  cash
requirements,  plans  for  expansion,  restrictions,  if  any,  under  any  debt
obligations,  as well as  other  factors  that  our  board  of  directors  deems
relevant.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

         The following table sets forth our capitalization on an actual basis as

            MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         Our authorized  capital stock  consists of 80,000,000  shares of common
stock, $.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001
par value per share. We have created six classes of preferred stock,  designated
as Series A preferred stock,  Series B preferred stock, Series C preferred stock
, Series D preferred stock,  Series E preferred stock,  Series F preferred stock
and Series G preferred stock.

         Our common stock and Class A warrants  trade on the OTC Bulletin  Board
under the  respective  symbols of "PMED.OB"  and  "PMEDW.OB."  Prior to July 22,
1996,  there was no public  market for the common  stock.  From July 22, 1996 to
June 25, 2003,  our common stock and Class A warrants  were listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. Since June 25, 2003, our common stock and Class A warrants have
traded on the OTC Bulletin  Board.  As of February  23,  2004,  the closing sale
prices of the common stock and Class A warrants were $.15 per share and $.03 per
warrant,  respectively.  The  following are the high and low sale prices for the
common  stock and Class A warrants by quarter as reported by Nasdaq from January
1, 2000 to June 25, 2003 and by the OTC Bulletin Board since June 25, 2003.

         Our  Series A  preferred  stock,  Series B  preferred  stock,  Series C
preferred stock,  Series D preferred stock,  Series E preferred stock,  Series F
preferred  stock and Series G preferred  stock are not  publicly  traded.  As of
January 31,  2004,  there were 717 record  holders of common  stock,  six record
holders of Series A preferred  stock,  four record holders of Series B preferred
stock,  no record  holders of Series C  preferred  stock,  no record  holders of
Series D preferred  stock,  14 record  holders of Series E preferred  stock,  52
record holders of Series F preferred  stock,  and two record holders of Series G
preferred stock.

         We have never paid any cash  dividends on our common stock and does not
anticipate  paying any cash  dividends  on our common  stock in the  foreseeable
future. We must pay cash dividends to holders of our Series A preferred,  Series
B preferred,  Series C preferred,  Series D preferred stock, Series E preferred,
Series F preferred stock and Series G preferred stock before it can pay any cash
dividend  to holders of our common  stock.  Dividends  paid in cash  pursuant to
outstanding  shares of our Series A,  Series B,  Series C,  Series D,  Series E,
Series  F and  Series  G  preferred  stock  are only  payable  from our  surplus
earnings,  and are  non-cumulative  and therefore,  no  deficiencies in dividend
payments from one year will be carried forward to the next.

         We  currently  intend to retain  future  earnings,  if any, to fund the
development and growth of our proposed  business and operations.  Any payment of
cash  dividends  in the future on the common  stock will be  dependent  upon our
financial  condition,  results  of  operations,  current  and  anticipated  cash
requirements,  plans  for  expansion,  restrictions,  if  any,  under  any  debt
obligations,  as well as  other  factors  that  our  board  of  directors  deems
relevant.  We issued 6,764 shares of our Series A preferred  and 6,017 shares of
our Series B  preferred  on January 8, 1996 as a stock  dividend to Series A and
Series B preferred shareholders of record as of December 31, 1994.

                           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
                          ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

         This  report  contains   forward-looking   statements  and  information
relating  to us that is based on beliefs of  management  as well as  assumptions
made by, and information  currently  available to management.  These  statements
reflect  our current  view  respecting  future  events and are subject to risks,
uncertainties  and  assumptions,  including  the risks and  uncertainties  noted
throughout  the  document.  Although we have  attempted  to  identify  important
factors that could cause the actual results to differ  materially,  there may be
other  factors  that cause the  forward-looking  statements  not to come true as
anticipated,  believed,  projected,  expected or intended. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect,  actual results may differ  materially from those described herein as
anticipated, believed, projected, estimated, expected or intended.

Critical Accounting Policies

         Revenue Recognition.  The Company recognizes revenue in compliance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial  Statements (SAB
101).  SAB  101  details  four  criteria  that  must  exist  before  revenue  is
recognized:

         1. Persuasive  evidence of an arrangement  exits.  Prior to shipment of
product,  we require a signed  purchase order and, with most  customers,  a down
payment toward the final invoiced price.

         2. Delivery and  performance  has occurred.  Unless the purchase  order
requires specific installation or customer acceptance, we recognize revenue when
the product  ships.  If the purchase  order requires  specific  installation  or
customer  acceptance,  we recognize revenue when such installation or acceptance
has occurred.  Title to the product passes to our customer upon  shipment.  This

                                       21


revenue  recognition  policy does not differ among our various different product
lines. We guarantee the  functionality  of our product.  If our product does not
function as marketed when received by the customer, we either make the necessary
repairs on site or have the product  shipped to us for the repair work. Once the
product has been  repaired and retested for  functionality,  it is re-shipped to
the customer.  We provide warranties that generally extend for one year from the
date of sale. Such warranties  cover the necessary parts and labor to repair the
product  as well as any  shipping  costs  that may be  required.  We  maintain a
reserve for estimated  warranty  costs based on our  historical  experience  and
management's current expectations.

         3.  The  sales  price  is fixed or  determinable.  The  purchase  order
received  from the customer  includes  the  agreed-upon  sales price.  We do not
accept customer orders, and therefore do not recognize revenue,  until the sales
price is fixed.

         4.  Collectibility is reasonably assured.  With limited exceptions,  we
require down  payments on product  prior to  shipment.  In some cases we require
payment  in full  prior  to  shipment.  We also  perform  credit  checks  on new
customers  and  ongoing  credit  checks on  existing  customers.  We maintain an
allowance for doubtful  accounts  receivable based on historical  experience and
management's current expectations.

         Recoverability  of Inventory.  Since our  inception,  we have purchased
several complete lines of inventory.  In some circumstances we have been able to
utilize certain items acquired and others remain unused.  On a quarterly  basis,
we attempt to identify inventory items that have shown relatively no movement or
very slow  movement.  Generally,  if an item has shown little or no movement for
over a year, it is determined not to be recoverable and a reserve is established
for that item. In addition,  if we identify  products that have become  obsolete
due to product  upgrades  or  enhancements,  a reserve is  established  for such
products.  We  intend  to make  efforts  to sell  these  items at  significantly
discounted  prices.  If items are sold,  the cash received  would be recorded as
revenue,  but there  would be no cost of sales on such items due to the  reserve
that has been recorded.  At the time of sale, the inventory would be reduced for
the item sold and the corresponding inventory reserve would also be reduced.

         Recoverability of Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets. Our intangible
assets  consist of goodwill,  product and  technology  rights,  engineering  and
design costs, and patent costs. Intangibles with a determined life are amortized
on a  straight-line  basis  over  their  determined  useful  life  and are  also
evaluated for potential impairment if events or circumstances  indicate that the
carrying amount may not be  recoverable.  Intangibles  with an indefinite  life,
such as goodwill,  are not amortized but are tested for  impairment on an annual
basis or when events and circumstances  indicate that the asset may be impaired.
Impairment  tests include  comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its
carrying net book value,  including goodwill.  To date, our determination of the
fair value of the  reporting  unit has been based on the  estimated  future cash
flows of that reporting unit.

         Allowance  for Doubtful  Accounts.  We record an allowance for doubtful
accounts to offset estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense
associated with the increases in the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded
as part of general and administrative  expense.  Our accounting policy generally
is to record an allowance for receivables  over 90 days past due unless there is
significant evidence to support that the receivable is collectible.

General

         The  following  Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations,  contains forward-looking  statements which
involve risks and uncertainty.  Our actual results could differ  materially from
those  anticipated  in these  forward-looking  statements as a result of certain
factors  discussed  in this  section.  Our fiscal year is from January 1 through
December 31.

         We are engaged in the design, development, manufacture and sale of high
technology diagnostic and surgical eye care products.  Given the "going concern"
status of Paradigm Medical, management has focused efforts on those products and
activities  that will,  in its  opinion,  achieve  the most  resource  efficient
short-term cash flow. As seen in the results for the nine months ended September
30, 2003,  diagnostic  products have been the major focus and the Photon(TM) and
other extensive research and development  projects have been put on hold pending
future  evaluation when our financial  position  improves.  We do not focus on a
specific  diagnostic  product or products but,  instead,  on this entire product

                                       22


group. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003,  management made certain
adjustments  to the financial  statements,  including an increase in the reserve
for obsolete or estimated non- recoverable inventory of $382,000, a net increase
in the allowance  for doubtful  accounts  receivable  of $83,000,  impairment of
fixed assets and  intangibles  of $159,000,  and increases in accruals to settle
outstanding  disputes in the amount of $443,000.  Although  management  believes
these  adjustments are sufficient,  it will continue to monitor and evaluate our
financial position and the recoverability of our assets.

         Our ultrasound  diagnostic products include a P55 pachymetric analyzer,
a P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan and a P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope, the technology
for which was acquired from Humphrey  Systems in 1998. We introduced  the P45 in
the fall of 2000,  which  combines the A/B Scan,  and the  biomicroscope  in one
machine.  In  addition,  we market our Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  acquired in the
purchase of Ocular Blood Flow Ltd. in June 2000. Other  diagnostic  products are
the  Dicon(TM)  Perimeter  and the Dicon  (TM)  Corneal  Topographer  which were
acquired in the acquisition of Vismed d/b/a Dicon in June 2000. We purchased the
inventory,   design  and  production   rights  of  the  SIStem(TM)  from  Mentor
Corporation in October 1999,  which was designed to perform  minimally  invasive
cataract  surgery.  In  November  1999,  we entered  into a Mutual  Release  and
Settlement    Agreement   with   the    manufacturer    of   the    Precisionist
ThirtyThousand(TM)  in which we purchased  the raw  material and finished  goods
inventory to bring the manufacturing of this product in-house.

         Because of the "going  concern"  status of the company,  management has
focused  efforts on those  products and  activities  that will,  in its opinion,
achieve the most  resource  efficient  short-term  cash flow to the company.  As
reflected in the results for the quarter ended  September  30, 2003,  diagnostic
products are currently our major focus and the  Photon(TM)  and other  extensive
research  and  development  projects  have  been  put  on  hold  pending  future
evaluation when the financial position of the company improves.  Due to the lack
of current  evidence to support  recoverability,  we have  recorded an inventory
reserve  to  offset  the  inventory  associated  with  the  Precisionist  Thirty
Thousand(TM)  and the  Photon(TM).  We do not  focus  on a  specific  diagnostic
product or products but, instead, on this entire product group.

         Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, included sales
of the Company's products and related  accessories and disposable  products.  In
March 2003, the Company named a new president and chief executive  officer,  Dr.
Jeffrey F. Poore. The Company named a new vice president of sales and marketing,
Ray  Cannefax,  during  the first  quarter of 2003 and a new vice  president  of
finance and chief financial officer,  Gregory C. Hill, during the second quarter
of 2003.  Mr. Hill  resigned as vice  president  of finance and chief  financial
officer on December 5, 2003.

         Activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 included sales
of our products and related accessories and disposable products. On May 7, 2002,
we received a letter from the FDA requesting  further clinical  information.  We
are in the process of generating the additional clinical information in response
to the letter.  We cannot  market or sell the  Photon(TM)  in the United  States
until FDA approval is granted. On November 4, 2002, we received FDA approval for
expanded  indications of use of the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) for pulsatile ocular
blood flow, volume and pulsatility  equivalence  index.  Also, we are continuing
our  efforts to educate  the payers of Medicare  claims  throughout  the country
about the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM),  its  purposes and the  significance  of our
performance in patient care in order to achieve reimbursements to the providers.
These efforts should lead to a more positive effect on sales.

         In April 2001, we received written authorization from the CPT Editorial
Research and Development Department of the American Medical Association to use a
common  procedure  terminology  or CPT code  number  92120  for our  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM),  for reimbursement purposes for doctors using the device. However,
certain  insurance payers have elected not to reimburse  doctors using the Blood
Flow Analyzer(TM). We believe the reasons why insurance payors initially elected
not to reimburse  doctors using the CPT code were the relatively  high volume of
claims that began to be submitted  under CPT code number  92120  compared to the
limited  volume of claims  previously  submitted  under this code,  and the time
consumed  by the Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  test,  which  some  payors  may have
believed was less than what is allowed under CPT code number  92120.  This trend
began shortly after insurance payors were presented with reimbursement  requests
under this code,  and we believe these reasons were the basis for the initiation
of non-payment.

         The  impact  of  this  nonpayment  by  certain  payors  on  our  future
operations  is a lower  volume  of sales,  particularly  in those  states  where
reimbursement  is  not  yet  approved  or  is  delayed.   Currently,   there  is
reimbursement by insurance payors in 22 states and partial reimbursement in four
other  states.  As  insurance  payors  have the  prerogative  whether to provide
reimbursement to doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM), we are continuing to
work with insurance  payors in states where there is no reimbursement to doctors
using the CPT code to demonstrate  the value of the  instrument.  However,  some
insurance  payors are currently not providing  reimbursement  to doctors where a
regional or state  administrator of medicare has elected not to provide medicare
coverage for the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM).  We are  continuing  to work with the
regional and state  administrators of medicare who have denied medicare coverage
for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) to demonstrate the value of the instrument.

         There were a number of factors  that  contributed  to the  decrease  in
sales of the Blood Flow  Analyzer (TM) and other  products.  September 11, 2001,
the ensuing Afghanistan  conflict,  and the Iraq war had a significant impact on
our international sales. The U.S.  recessionary  economic trend has impacted our
domestic sales.  Additionally,  we are restructuring our sales  organization and
sales channels by decreasing our direct sales force who are full-time  employees
from 10 direct  sales  employees  on  January  1,  2003,  to five  direct  sales
employees on December 31, 2003. The dependent sales force was reduced because we
do not have  sufficient  revenues to justify the larger  direct sales force.  We
have increased our efforts to sell our diagnostic  products through  independent
sales  representatives  and ophthalmic  equipment  distributors,  which are paid
commissions  only  for  their  sales.  As of  September  30,  2003,  we had  six
independent  sales  representatives  and  equipment  distributors  in the United
States,  all of whom  have  been  recently  hired,  and 42  representatives  and
distributors  outside the United States.  We hope to benefit from these recently
hired sales  representatives  and distributors in the United States as they gain
familiarity,  through training,  of our diagnostic  products.  Due to poor trade
show  attendance,  we exhibited at only two trade shows during the first half of
2003. Monitoring trade show attendance will determine whether we will exhibit at
future trade shows.

         In April 2002,  we announced  the closure of our San Diego  facility in
anticipation of the  termination of the lease for that location.  The operations
were  transferred  to the Salt Lake City  facility.  We incurred a reduction  of
force of 28 San Diego personnel.  The  consolidation  was intended to save costs
and to eliminate  duplicities in functions and facilities that occurred with the
acquisition of Dicon. The cost of the consolidation was approximately $80,000.

         In January 2002, we purchased  certain assets and lease  obligations of
Innovative  Optics,  Inc. by issuing an  aggregate  of  1,272,825  shares of our
common stock (636,412  shares are held in escrow pending the result of a project
to reduce the cost of the disposable razor blades utilized by the microkeratome,
which was acquired in the  transaction),  warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of
our common  stock at $5.00 per share,  exercisable  over a period of three years
from the closing date, and $100,000 in cash. The  transaction  was accounted for
as a purchase in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
141.

         We acquired from Innovative  Optics the raw materials,  work in process
and finished goods inventories.  Additionally, it acquired the patents and trade
name  associated  with the product,  the  furniture  and equipment of Innovative
Optics used in the manufacturing  process of the  microkeratome  console and the
inspection  and  packaging of the  disposable  blades.  We  subsequently  issued
477,039  shares of common stock that were held in escrow at a value of $630,000,
based in the market  price of such shares on the date of  issuance.  This amount
was charged to in-process  research and development because the issuance of such
shares related to the continuing  research and development of the  microkeratome
blades.

         We were  unsuccessful  in  reducing  the costs of the blade  production
process and were unable to supply  blades to the user base.  We  terminated  our
marketing and sales efforts for the microkeratome, but we continue to search for
an alternative  source of blades or a purchaser of the product line.  Because we
determined that we could not manufacture the blades to support our customer base
at an  economical  cost, in accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 142, due to the lack of projected  future cash flows,  during 2002
we recorded an impairment  expense of $2,082,000 for the remaining book value of
property and equipment and intangible  assets purchased from Innovative  Optics.
In  addition,  we recorded an  inventory  reserve  for the  remaining  inventory
purchased from Innovative Optics of approximately $160,000.

         On September 19, 2002, we completed a  transaction  with  International
Bio-Immune  Systems,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation,   in  which  we  acquired
2,663,254,  or  19.9%,  of its  outstanding  shares  and  warrants  to  purchase
1,200,000  shares  of its  common  stock at $2.50  per share for a period of two
years,  through the exchange and issuance of 736,945 shares of our common stock,
the  lending  of  300,000  shares of our common  stock to the  company,  and the
payment of certain of its  expenses  through  the  issuance of an  aggregate  of
94,000  shares of our common stock to the company and its counsel.  The issuance
of 736,945  shares were valued  based on the market price of our common stock on
the date of the  transaction  and  resulted in an  investment  in  International
Bio-Immune  Systems,  when  combined  with a cash  investment of $65,000 made in
2000,  of $879,000.  The 300,000  shares were also valued at the market price on
the date of issuance and were  recorded as a stock  subscription  receivable  of
$294,000 because such shares will either be paid for or returned in the future.

         International  Bio-Immune  Systems is a  privately  held  biotechnology
based, cancer diagnostic and immunotherapy  company,  located in Great Neck, New
York, with potential clinically effective products for the diagnosis,  treatment
and imaging of  patients  with major tumor  types  (e.g.  colon,  lung,  cervix,

                                       24


pancreas  and  breast).   International  Bio-Immune  Systems  does  not  produce
significant revenues as its products have not received FDA approval.  Due to the
uncertainty  of future cash flows and the fact that the  products  have not been
approved by the FDA, we were  unable to support the value of the  investment  by
substantiated  methods and  determined  that the  likelihood  of recovery of our
investment  was  remote.   Therefore,  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles,  the  investment  of $879,000 was charged to  impairment
expense.

         The tragic events of September 11, 2001, the  Afghanistan  conflict and
the Iraq war  combined  with a  recessionary  trend  in the  economy  have had a
negative  effect on our  sales.  International  attendance  at the  trade  shows
following  September 11, 2001, and through 2003 were down markedly.  The absence
of these  professionals  eliminates many opportunities for us to demonstrate and
sell our products to this sector. It is difficult to quantify how much an effect
that these  events  have had on us, but we believe  that we have  suffered  some
negative  impact due to September 11, 2001, the Afghanistan  conflict,  the Iraq
war and the  downturn  in the  economy in  general,  which may  continue  for an
indefinite period of time.

Results of Operations

         Nine Months Ended  September  30,  2003,  Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2002

         Net sales  decreased by $1,669,000,  or 43%, to $2,225,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003,  from  $3,894,000 for the comparable  period in
2002.  Sales of the Company's  diagnostic  products were  $1,750,000,  or 79% of
total revenues,  during the first nine months of 2003 compared with  $2,563,000,
or 66% of total revenues,  for the comparable  period of 2002. Sales of surgical
products totaled $94,000, or 4% of total revenues,  for the first nine months of
the current year in comparison  with  $238,000,  or 6%, of total revenues in the
comparable period of 2002. In the first nine months of 2003 sales of the P40 UBM
Ultrasound  Biomicroscope were $421,000,  or 19% of total revenues,  compared to
$868,000,  or 22% of total revenues,  in the same period of 2002. Sales from the
Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  increased  by  $2,000  to  $297,000,  or 13% of total
revenues,  during the first three quarters of 2003 compared with $295,000, or 8%
of total revenues, in the same period of last year. During the first nine months
of 2003 sales from other ultrasonic  products totaled $222,000,  or 10% of total
revenues,  compared with $452,000,  or 12% of total revenues, in the same period
last year. Sales of the perimeter and corneal topographer generated $808,000, or
36% of total  revenues,  in the  first  three  quarters  of 2003  compared  with
$948,000, or 24% of total revenues, during the same period of 2002.

         There  were a  number  of  material  reasons  that  contributed  to the
decrease in sales during the nine months ended  September 30, 2003,  compared to
the same period of 2002.  Along with generally  weak economic  conditions in the
United States, we initiated the restructuring of our sales  organization and the
development  of new sales  channels  during the nine months ended  September 30,
2003.  During the first three months of 2003,  we reduced our direct sales force
from ten representatives to three  representatives,  and during the remainder of
the first nine months of 2003 there were only three direct sales representatives
compared to ten direct sales  representatives  during the  comparable  period of
2002.  International  sales were  impacted by weakness in the  economies  of the
large  industrial  countries  and  by the  residual  impact  of the  Afghanistan
situation,  which had a negative  impact on sales to the Middle East,  Pakistan,
India and other  countries  in that  region.  The  decrease  in sales of the P40
Ultrasound Biomicroscope as well as other products were the direct result of the
restructuring  of the sales and  marketing  organization.  With  respect  to the
decrease in sales of the Biomicroscope, there has not been an increase in price,
competition  remains  similar to what it has been  previously,  and there are no
other  particular  factors  of  which  we  are  aware.  This  restructuring  has
significantly  reduced our sales expenses and funds  dedicated to marketing.  In
addition,  the sales  channels  have been  altered  to include  distributor  and
independent  sale  representatives  instead  of relying  more on a direct  sales
force.  Domestic and international  sales have also decreased as a result of the
global financial  markets  declines  beginning in 2000 and the adverse impact of
the events of September 11, 2001.

         The decrease in sales of the P40  Ultrasound  Biomicroscope  as well as
other  products  were the direct  result of the  restructuring  of the sales and
marketing  organization.   As  to  the  decrease  in  sales  of  the  Ultrasonic
Biomicroscope,  there has not been an  increase  in price,  competition  remains
similar  to what it has been  previously,  and  there  are no  other  particular
factors of which we are aware. This restructuring has significantly  reduced our

                                       25


sales expenses and funds dedicated to marketing. In addition, the sales channels
have been altered to include  distributor and independent  sale  representatives
instead  of  relying   exclusively  on  a  direct  sales  force.   Domestic  and
international  sales have also  decreased  as a result of the  global  financial
markets  declines  beginning  in 2000 and the  adverse  impact of the  events of
September 11, 2001.

         Other  reasons  for  the  decrease  in  sales  were  the  uncertainties
resulting from our efforts to reduce costs and  constraints on  availability  of
funds that  reduced our ability to upgrade and enhance our  products  and pursue
further  regulatory  approvals  for our products.  Additionally,  changes in the
exchange  rate between  these  periods  have  generally  made our products  more
expensive to customers  outside of the United States.  Our objective is to focus
our sales  efforts on the  products  with the  highest  potential  for sales and
strong margins.

         Gross  profit for the nine months ended  September  30, 2003 was 44% of
total revenues,  compared to 43% for the same period in 2002. Cost of goods sold
for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 2003 was  $1,237,000  as compared to
$2,738,000 for the same period in 2002, a reduction of $1,501,000. Cost of goods
sold for the nine months ended  September  30, 2003  included an increase in the
reserve for obsolete or estimated non-recoverable inventory of $382,000. Cost of
goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, included an increase in
the reserve for  obsolete or  estimated  non-recoverable  inventory of $500,000.
Since its  inception,  we have  purchased  several  complete lines of inventory.
While our initial intention was to utilize the substantial majority of inventory
acquired in the manufacture of its products,  in some circumstances we have been
unable to utilize certain items acquired.

         Marketing  and selling  expenses  decreased by  $1,670,000,  or 70%, to
$711,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003,  from $2,381,000 for the
comparable period in 2002 due primarily to the lower headcounts of sales persons
and travel related and associated sales expenses.

         General and administrative expenses decreased by $1,053,000, or 36%, to
$1,867,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from $2,920,000 for the
same period in 2002,  reflecting the results of the Company's  efforts to reduce
costs,   specifically   costs  associated  with  maintaining  two  manufacturing
facilities and consulting costs. As noted above, in April 2002, we announced the
closure of its San Diego  facility in  anticipation  of the  termination  of the
lease for that location.  All operations  associated with the San Diego facility
were  transferred  to the Salt Lake City  facility.  We incurred a reduction  of
force of 28 San Diego personnel.  The  consolidation  was intended to save costs
and to eliminate  duplicities in functions and facilities that occurred with the
acquisition of Dicon. The cost of the consolidation  was approximately  $80,000.
We believe that the annual cost savings of the closure of the San Diego facility
are approximately $2 million.  Consulting  expenses decreased from approximately
$1,280,000  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2002 to  approximately
$232,000  in the same period in 2003.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense,
which   includes   amortization   of   leasehold   improvements,   decreased  by
approximately $128,000, or 32%, to $268,000 during the first nine months of 2003
compared to the same period of last year.  General and  administrative  expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,  included $83,000 for additions to
the  allowance  for doubtful  accounts and  increases in accruals of $443,000 to
settle outstanding disputes.

         In  addition,  general and  administrative  expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003, included $190,000 for 1,262,000 shares of common stock
issued to settle potential  litigation.  The 1,262,000 common shares were issued
to six  investors  due to a dispute  arising  from a private  offering  that was
completed on January 22, 2003. We agreed to issue the shares to the investors in
the offering at $.25 per share rather than $.50 per share, the original offering
price  (or an  additional  1,262,000  shares)  to  resolve  a  dispute  with the
investors  concerning  certain statements made by a former officer in connection
with the sale of said shares.

         Research,  development and service expenses decreased by $1,660,000, or
68%, to $789,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003,  from $2,449,000
for the same period in 2002.  This  decrease  was mainly due to the  issuance of
common stock to Innovative Optics in the quarter ended September 30, 2002, which
was valued at $630,000  and  expensed as  in-process  research  and  development
costs. Expenses associated with the development of new products during the first
nine  months  of  2003  decreased  compared  to the  same  period  in  2002 as a
consequence of the Company's  efforts to reduce costs and focus on products that
are fully developed and have the highest potential for sales and strong margins.

         Impairment  of assets was $159,000 for the nine months ended  September
30,  2003,  compared  to  $700,000  recorded  in the same  period  of 2002.  The
impairment  expense  for the  first  nine  months  of 2003 was due to a  reserve
established  for  anticipated  asset  disposals  and a reduction in the value of
certain  intangible  assets based on their currently  estimated fair value.  The
impairment  expense for the nine months ended  September 30, 2002, was due to an
evaluation  by us of our  intangible  assets,  namely  goodwill,  resulting in a
charge of $700,000 as a write down of the goodwill.

         Other income and (expense)  increased by $270,000 to income of $233,000
for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003, from expense of $(37,000) for the
same period in 2002.  During the first nine months of 2003  interest  income was
$3,000 compared with $6,000 during the same period of 2002, and other income was

                                       26


$247,000 compared with expense of $(6,000) during the comparable period in 2002.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, other income included a gain of
$188,000 on discounted  settlements of accounts payable and obligations,  a gain
of $22,000 from reversing an  overaccrual of fees related to prior years,  and a
gain of $37,000  associated with the settlement of litigation.  We had a $20,000
reduction in interest  expense to  $(17,000) in the nine months ended  September
30,  2003,  from  $(37,000)  in the same  period  of 2002 due to a  decrease  in
interest expense related to capital leases.

         Fiscal  Year Ended  December  31,  2002  Compared  to Fiscal Year Ended
December 31, 2001

         Consolidated  sales for the twelve months ended  December 31, 2002 were
$5,368,000 compared to $7,919,000 for the same period for 2001,  approximately a
32%  decrease  due  principally  to  a  decline  in  sales  of  the  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM).  We have  experienced a general  decline in sales during 2002. The
reduction  of our  domestic  sales  force,  competition  and the downturn in the
economy are all  factors  contributing  to the  decline in sales.  Additionally,
certain  payers  have  elected  not to  reimburse  the  doctors  per the  common
procedure  terminology  or  CPT  code  assigned  to us by the  American  Medical
Association,  which has caused decreased sales of the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) in
2002.

         There  were a  number  of  material  reasons  that  contributed  to the
decrease in sales during  fiscal year 2002  compared to fiscal 2001.  Along with
generally weak economic  conditions in the United  States,  we initiated a major
restructuring  of our  sales  organization  and  the  development  of new  sales
channels during 2002. International sales were impacted by the weak economies of
the large  industrial  countries and by the residual  impact of the  Afghanistan
situation,  which had a negative  impact on sales to the Middle East,  Pakistan,
India and other  countries  in that  region.  Other  reasons for the decrease in
sales were the  uncertainties  resulting  from our  efforts to reduce  costs and
constraints  on  availability  of funds that  reduced our ability to upgrade and
enhance our products  and pursue  further  regulatory  approvals  for  products.
Additionally,  changes in the exchange rate in 2002 compared with 2001 generally
made our products more expensive to customers outside of the United States.

         The revenues  generated from sales of the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM) were
$458,000 and slightly less than $2,000,000,  or 9% and 25% of total revenues for
2002 and 2001,  respectively.  On November 4, 2002, we received FDA approval for
expanded  indications of use of the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) for pulsatile ocular
blood flow, volume and pulsatility  equivalence  index.  Also, we are continuing
our aggressive campaign to educate the payers about the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM),
its purposes and the significance of its performance in patient care in order to
achieve  reimbursements  to the  providers.  This effort  should have a positive
effect on sales.

         Sales  of the  P40  UBM  Ultrasound  Biomicroscope  were  approximately
$1,303,000  during 2002, or 24% of total annual  revenues,  compared to sales of
$1,584,000,  or 20% of total revenues for the same period of 2001. Revenues from
the  ultrasonic   product  line,  not  including  the   Biomicroscope,   totaled
approximately $606,000 during 2002, or 11% of total annual revenues, compared to
$647,000,  or 8% of total revenues for the same period last year. We have seen a
recent  interest in certain of our  ultrasound  products and are  endeavoring to
take advantage of this interest to the best of our capabilities.

         Sales of the perimeter and corneal  topographer  decreased by $649,000,
from $2,128,000 in 2001, or 27% of total revenues to $1,479,000, or 28% of total
revenues. The perimeter and corneal topographer,  both mature products, declined
in sales in 2002 from those in 2001 by approximately  30%. One of the strategies
of the  Dicon/Paradigm  merger in June of 2000 was to piggyback  these  products
with the phaco surgical line to achieve  penetration into the ophthalmic market,
in addition to the optometric market,  resulting in a growth in the sales of the
Dicon  products.  This  anticipated  growth has not occurred and may continue to
decrease in the future or remain at a lower level than originally expected.

         The phaco surgical line  accounted for  approximately  $245,000,  5% of
total  revenues  for the twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2002  compared to
$594,000,  or 8% of total revenues for the same period in 2001. We  concentrated
much of our marketing focus on our diagnostic  products (Blood Flow Analyzer(TM)
and the P40 UBM  Ultrasound  Biomicroscope  Workstation  or P45) during 2002 and
2001. We also continued  aggressively  in our efforts to obtain FDA approval for
our Photon(TM)  laser system.  We sold one  Photon(TM)  laser system in 2002 and
none in 2001. The  Photon(TM)  cannot be sold within the United States until FDA
approval is received.  International  sales of the Photon(TM)  have not occurred
due  in  part  to the  lack  of  FDA  approval.  Although  not  required  in the
international  market,  we  believe  many  potential  customers  rely on the FDA
approval of products before purchasing. Due to the lack of such approval and the
lack  of  current  evidence  to  support  recoverability,  we have  recorded  an
inventory  reserve to offset the majority of the inventory  associated  with the
Photon(TM).

                                       27


         Cost of sales for the year ended  December 31, 2002 were  $4,210,000 as
compared to $4,370,000 in the comparable period for 2001, a decline of $160,000.
The gross  profit  on sales for the  fiscal  year  2002 was  approximately  22 %
compared to 45% for the same period in 2001.  The profit  margin  decline can be
attributed principally to an increase of $1,755,000 in the reserved for obsolete
inventory. Due to the lack of significant sales volume of certain products, many
inventory  items were  reduced in cost to  reflect  obsolescence,  technological
advances  and  product  enhancements.  Of this  amount,  approximately  $160,000
related to inventory purchased from Innovative Optics in 2002, and the remainder
was mainly related to the Mentor  surgical line of products,  namely the SIStem,
Odyssey and the  Surg-E-trol,  which have not experienced  significant  sales in
2002 and 2001. Since our inception,  we have purchased several complete lines of
inventory,  such as the Mentor surgical line. While our initial intention was to
utilize the substantial majority of inventory acquired in the manufacture of our
products,  in some  circumstances  we have been unable to utilize  certain items
acquired.

         On a quarterly basis, we attempt to identify  inventory items that have
shown  relatively no movement or very slow movement.  Generally,  if an item has
shown  little  or no  movement  for  over a  year,  it is  determined  not to be
recoverable  and a reserve is  established  for that item.  In  addition,  if we
identify  products  that  have  become  obsolete  due  to  product  upgrades  or
enhancements, a reserve is established for such products. Such analysis resulted
in a material increases in the reserve for obsolete or estimated non-recoverable
inventory in 2002.  There can be no assurance that we will not identify  further
obsolete  inventory due to significant  declines in sales of certain products or
technological  advances of products in the future.  We intend to make efforts to
sell these items at significantly discounted prices. If items are sold, the cash
received  would be recorded  as revenue,  but there would be no cost of sales on
such items due to the reserve that has been  recorded.  At the time of sale, the
inventory  would be reduced  for the item sold and the  corresponding  inventory
reserve  would also be reduced.  We do not expect the sales of these items to be
significant in the future.  During 2002, we also reduced sales prices during the
year  in  an  attempt  to  increase  sales,   which  has  reduced  our  margins.
International  sales  contributed a greater  portion in 2002,  compared to 2001,
which sales also produce lower gross margins.

         Marketing  and  selling  expenses  decreased  $1,967,000,  or  41%,  to
$2,795,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 from $4,762,000 for the
comparable  period in 2001.  Our sales force  decreased to five  domestic  sales
people  during 2002  resulting in a reduction  of personnel  and travel costs of
$1,356,000 from the prior year.  Marketing  efforts were reduced,  including the
number of trade shows  attended,  which resulted in a cost reduction of $611,000
during the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2002,  compared to the same period in
2001.

         General and administrative expenses decreased by $1,423,000, or 28%, to
$3,702,000 for the 2002 fiscal year from $5,125,000 for the comparable period in
2001, due principally to our ongoing  efforts to reduce costs,  primarily in the
areas of maintaining  two  manufacturing  facilities  and  consulting  expenses.
During 2002,  we closed our San Diego  manufacturing  facility and  consolidated
operations in our Salt Lake City facility.  This resulted in a reduced workforce
of 28 individuals.  Payroll related costs included in general and administrative
expense  decreased  by  approximately  $197,000  during the twelve  months ended
December  31, 2002  compared to the same period in 2001  reflecting  our reduced
number of  employees.  In  addition,  our efforts to reduce  consulting  expense
resulted in a decrease of $932,000 in 2002 as compared  with 2001.  In the past,
we have relied heavily on consultants  for research and  development,  financing
activities,  marketing,  accounting, and other administrative functions. We have
made efforts to minimize the use of such  consultants  and use the  abilities of
our  trained  employees  and  board  members  to  accomplish  many of the  tasks
previously performed by consultants.  Travel related costs declined $139,000 and
general  operating  costs  were  reduced  by  $169,000  due  principally  to the
reduction of personnel and the closure of the San Diego facility.

         Research,  development and service expenses (which includes  production
and  manufacturing  support and the service  department  expenses)  decreased by
$128,000,  or 4%, to $2,819,000  for the twelve  months ended  December 31, 2002
from $2,947,000 for the same period in 2001. The closure of the San Diego office
resulted in lower payroll  related  expenses of $927,000 in 2002 compared to the
same period in 2001.  Pursuant to the asset purchase  agreement with  Innovative
Optics,  Inc., we issued  477,000  shares of common  stock,  which was valued at
$630,000  based upon the current market value of the stock at the time of issue.
This amount was recorded as in-process research and development costs related to
the  blade  cost  reduction  project.  No such  expense  was  recorded  in 2001.
Consulting fees related to software  development and  enhancements  increased by
$71,000 during 2002 compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.

         We recognized  impairment  expenses of $2,961,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2002,  principally  due to the  requirements of SFAS No. 142, which
requires  impairment of intangible  assets if the valuation  cannot  support the

                                       28


asset value  recorded.  The impairment of $2,961,000  consisted of $1,419,000 of
goodwill obtained in the acquisition of Innovative  Optics;  $530,000 related to
patents,  rights,  and trade name acquired from  Innovative  Optics;  $98,000 of
additional  costs  capitalized in connection  with the acquisition of Innovative
Optics;  $30,000 of property and equipment  acquired from Innovative Optics; our
investment in International  Bio-Immune Systems of $879,000; and $5,000 of costs
related to unissued patents.

         We acquired the assets of Innovative Optics,  Inc. in January 2002. The
principal product was a microkeratome with the corresponding  disposable blades.
This acquisition  resulted in goodwill of $1,419,000 and other intangible assets
of $530,000. During our third quarter, based on the work performed in efforts to
reduce the cost of manufacture of the  microkeratome  blades,  it became evident
that our earlier cash flow  projections were too high.  Accordingly,  we revised
the projections to reflect  management's  best estimates of future cash flows as
of September 30, 2002. This revision in estimated  future cash flows resulted in
an  impairment  expense  during the third  quarter of $700,000  to the  goodwill
related to the Innovative Optics acquisition.  During the fourth quarter we were
unsuccessful  in  producing  the  blades  for the user  base at a cost  that was
economically  feasible and the original  manufacturing process proved unworkable
and  unprofitable.  We decided  not to continue  supporting  the  product,  thus
creating an event that resulted in a complete impairment of the goodwill,  other
intangible  assets,  property and equipment,  and other  capitalized  intangible
costs of  $2,077,000.  To date, we have analyzed  impairment  charges based on a
cash flow projection  analysis as allowed under SFAS 142. Due to our decision to
not continue with development,  marketing,  and sale of the microkeratome blade,
we revised our initial cash flow projections related to the assets acquired from
Innovative Optics to $0. Therefore,  an impairment charge for the net book value
of all assets acquired in connection with Innovative  Optics was recorded.  This
resulted in an impairment charge of $1,377,000 in the fourth quarter.  The total
impairment  expense  recorded in 2002 related to assets acquired from Innovative
Optics was $2,077,000.

         On September 19, 2002, we completed a  transaction  with  International
Bio-Immune  Systems,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation,   in  which  we  acquired
2,663,254,  or 19.9% of the outstanding shares of its common stock, and warrants
to purchase 1,200,000 shares of its common stock at $2.50 per share for a period
of two years,  through the exchange and issuance of 736,945 shares of our common
stock, the lending of 300,000 shares of our common stock to the company, and the
payment of certain of its  expenses  through  the  issuance of an  aggregate  of
94,000  shares of our common stock to the company and its counsel.  The issuance
of 736,945  shares  were  valued on the basis of the market  price of our common
stock  on  the  date  of  the  transaction  and  resulted  in an  investment  in
International  Bio-Immune  Systems,  when  combined  with a cash  investment  of
$65,000 made in 2000,  of $879,000.  The 300,000  shares were also valued at the
market price on the date of issuance and were  recorded as a stock  subscription
receivable  of $294,000  because such shares will either be paid for or returned
in the future.

         International  Bio-Immune  Systems is a  privately  held  biotechnology
based,  cancer  diagnostic and immunotherapy  company with potential  clinically
effective  products for the  diagnosis,  treatment  and imaging of patients with
major tumor types (e.g., colon, lung, cervix,  pancreas and breast). The company
is located in Great Neck, New York. It does not produce significant  revenues as
its products have not received FDA approval.  Due to the  uncertainty  of future
cash flows and the fact that the products  have not been approved by the FDA, we
were unable to support the value of the investment by substantiated  methods and
determined  that the  likelihood  of  recovery  of the  investment  was  remote.
Therefore,  in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  the
investment of $879,000 was charged to impairment expense.

         Net interest  expense was $36,000  during 2002 compared to net interest
income of $7,000 for the twelve  months ended  December 31, 2001 due to interest
expense  incurred  from capital  leases for the purchase of certain fixed assets
and due to  smaller  amounts  of cash on  deposit  during  2002.  Other  expense
included a charge to expense in 2001of  $812,000  representing  the value of the
350,000  shares of common  stock  issued  to Mentor in  settlement  of a dispute
concerning  whether  the  485,751  shares of our common  stock  issued to Mentor
Corporation pursuant to an asset purchase transaction were required to have been
registered in our registration statement declared effective on January 5, 2000.

         We incurred a net loss of  $11,155,000,  or ($.63) per share based upon
17,736,000  weighted average shares  outstanding for the year ended December 31,
2002.  This  compares  to a  net  loss  applicable  to  common  shareholders  of
$10,143,000,  or ($.98) per share,  based on 13,245,000  weighted average shares
outstanding  for the year ended  December 31, 2001.  For the year ended December
31, 2001, the net loss attributable to common shareholders  included a reduction
of $2,901,000 in connection  with two private  placements  offered by us in 2001
($2,587,000 was  attributable to the beneficial  conversion  feature included in
the Series E and Series F Preferred Stock offerings and $314,000 represented the
computed  value of the  warrants  associated  with the Series E Preferred  Stock
offering).  No such calculation was included in the net loss for the fiscal year

                                       29


2002.  The net loss for 2002  included  $2,961,000  of  impairment  expense  due
principally  to the  write  down of  intangible  assets  in  excess  of  current
valuation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         We used $712,000 cash in operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003,  compared to $2,497,000 for the nine months ended  September
30, 2002. The reduction in cash used by operating  activities for the first nine
months of 2003 was primarily  attributable to reduced operating costs, including
the closure of the San Diego facility,  as well as other savings  resulting from
our ongoing efforts to substantially  reduce costs and management of its current
assets and current  liabilities.  We generated $5,000 from investing  activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,  compared to cash used of $238,000
in the same period in 2002. Cash used in investing  activities in the first nine
months of 2002 was primarily due to the cash paid in the  acquisition of certain
assets  of  Innovative  Optics  and  capital  equipment.  Net cash  provided  by
financing  activities was $726,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003
versus  $518,000  in the same  period  in 2002.  During  the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2003, we raised approximately $84,000 through a $20,000,000 equity
line of credit under an  investment  banking  arrangement  and $699,000  through
private  placements  from the sale of the  Company's  common  stock and Series G
preferred  stock  and  warrants.  However,  the  equity  line of  credit  is not
currently  available as a source of equity because a  registration  statement is
not currently effective registering the shares issuable under the equity line of
credit.  In the past,  we have  relied  heavily  upon  sales of our  common  and
preferred stock to fund  operations.  There can be no assurance that such equity
funding will be available on terms acceptable to us in the future.

         We  will  continue  to  seek  funding  to  meet  our  working   capital
requirements  through   collaborative   arrangements  and  strategic  alliances,
additional public offerings and private  placements of our securities,  and bank
borrowings.  We are uncertain whether or not the combination of existing working
capital,  benefits  from sales of our  products  and the private  equity line of
credit will be sufficient to assure  continued  operations  through December 31,
2003.  As of  September  30,  2003,  we had  accounts  payable  of  $596,000,  a
significant portion of which is over 90 days past due. We have contacted many of
the vendors or companies that have  significant  amounts of payables past due in
an  effort  to delay  payment,  renegotiate  a reduced  settlement  payment,  or
establish a longer- term payment plan. While some companies have been willing to
renegotiate the outstanding amounts, others have demanded payment in full. Under
certain  conditions,  including but not limited to judgments rendered against us
in a court of law, a group of creditors  could force us into  bankruptcy  due to
our inability to pay the liabilities arising out of such judgments at that time.
In addition to the accounts  payable  noted above,  we also have  noncancellable
capital lease  obligations  and  operating  lease  obligations  that require the
payment of approximately $103,000 in 2003, $51,000 in 2004, $38,000 in 2005, and
$14,000 in 2006.

         We have taken  numerous  steps to reduce costs and  increase  operating
efficiencies. These steps consist of the following:

         1.  We  closed  our  San  Diego   facility.   In  so  doing,   numerous
manufacturing,  accounting and management responsibilities were consolidated. In
addition,  such closure resulted in significant  headcount reductions as well as
savings in rent and other overhead costs.

         2. We have  significantly  reduced  the use of  consultants,  which has
resulted in a large decrease to these expenses.

         3. We have  reduced  our direct  sales  force to five  representatives,
which has resulted in less payroll, travel and other selling expenses.

         Because we have significantly fewer sales representatives,  our ability
to generate sales has been reduced.

         At September  30, 2003,  we had net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of
approximately $40,000,000 and research and development tax credit carry-forwards
of  approximately  $78,000.  These loss  carryforwards  are  available to offset
future taxable  income,  if any, and have begun to expire in 2001 and extend for
twenty years.  Our ability to use net  operating  loss  carryforwards  to offset
future income is dependant  upon certain  limitations as a result of the pooling
transaction  with  Vismed  and the tax  laws in  effect  at the time of the loss
carryforwards can be utilized.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 significantly  limits
the annual  amount that can be utilized for certain of these loss  carryforwards
as a result of change of ownership.

         As of  September  30,  2003,  we had  raised  approximately  $1,584,000
through  a  $20,000,000  equity  line of  credit  under  an  investment  banking
arrangement.  As of September 30, 2003, approximately  $18,416,000 was available
under the equity line of credit.  However,  the equity line of credit expired by
its terms on December 8, 2003,  but we are  currently in the process of renewing
the agreement. Moreover, the equity line of credit is currently unavailable as a

                                       30


source of equity  because there is currently no  registration  statement that is
effective  registering the shares of our common stock that may be sold under the
equity line of credit.  In the past,  we have relied  heavily  upon sales of our
common and preferred  stock to fund  operations.  There can be no assurance that
such equity  funding will be available on terms  acceptable to us in the future.
We will  continue  to seek  funding  to meet our  working  capital  requirements
through  collaborative  arrangements and strategic alliances,  additional public
offerings and/or private placements of its securities or bank borrowings. We are
uncertain  whether or not the combination of existing working capital,  benefits
from  sales of our  products  and the  private  equity  line of  credit  will be
sufficient to assure our operations through December 31, 2003.

         We have taken measures to reduce the amount of  uncollectible  accounts
receivable  such  as more  thorough  and  stringent  credit  approval,  improved
training and instruction by sales personnel,  and frequent direct  communication
with the  customer  subsequent  to  delivery of the system.  The  allowance  for
doubtful  accounts was 27% of total  outstanding  receivables as of December 31,
2002 and 38% as of  September  30, 2003.  Much of the increase in the  allowance
relates to our outstanding  receivable  balance  pertaining to our international
dealers.  The  downturn  in the economy  worldwide  has  resulted  in  increased
difficulty in collecting certain accounts.  Certain  international  dealers have
some aged unpaid  invoices that have not been  resolved.  We have  addressed our
credit  procedures  and  collection  efforts and have  instituted  changes  that
require  more  payments  at the time of sale via  letters of credit and not on a
credit term basis.  We intend to continue our efforts to reduce the allowance as
a percentage  of accounts  receivable.  While the  allowance as a percentage  of
accounts  receivable has grown, it is mainly a result of the significant decline
in sales.  The total amount of the  allowance  has  increased  from  $347,000 at
December  31,  2002,  to $429,000 at  September  30,  2003.  The majority of the
receivables  included in the  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts are a result of
sales before we implemented the various changes to improve the collectibility of
our  receivables.  During 2002, we had a net recovery of receivables  previously
allowed for of $23,000 and during the nine months ended  September  30, 2003, we
added a net of $83,000 to the allowance for doubtful  accounts.  We believe that
by  requiring a large  portion of payment  prior to  shipment,  we have  greatly
improved the collectibility of our receivables.

         We carried an  allowance  for  obsolete  or  estimated  non-recoverable
inventory of $2,508,000 at September 30, 2003, and $2,126,000 as of December 31,
2002,  or  approximately  57% and 45% of  total  inventory,  respectively.  This
inventory reserve was increased by $382,000 in the first nine months of 2003 and
$1,755,000  during 2002 mainly due to sales declines and the  discontinuance  of
the  microkeratome  purchased  from  Innovative  Optics  in 2002.  Our  means of
expansion  and  development  of product has been  largely  from  acquisition  of
businesses,  product  lines,  existing  inventory,  and the  rights to  specific
products.  Through such acquisitions,  we have acquired  substantial  inventory,
some of which the eventual use and recoverability was uncertain. In addition, we
have a significant  amount of inventory relating to the Photon(TM) laser system,
which does not yet have FDA approval in order to sell the product  domestically.
Therefore,  the allowance for  inventory  was  established  to reserve for these
potential eventualities.

         On a quarterly basis, we attempt to identify  inventory items that have
shown  relatively no movement or very slow movement.  Generally,  if an item has
shown  little  or no  movement  for  over a  year,  it is  determined  not to be
recoverable  and a reserve is  established  for that item.  In  addition,  if we
identify  products  that  have  become  obsolete  due  to  product  upgrades  or
enhancements,  a reserve is  established  for such  products.  We intend to make
efforts to sell these items at  significantly  discounted  prices.  If items are
sold, the cash received would be recorded as revenue, but there would be no cost
of sales on such items due to the reserve that has been recorded. At the time of
sale,  the  inventory  would be reduced for the item sold and the  corresponding
inventory  reserve would also be reduced.  During the fourth quarter of 2003, we
sold  all  inventory  and  rights  associated  with  the  Phaco  SIStem(TM)  and
Odyssey(TM)  for $125,000.  Because the full amount of inventory  related to the
SIStem(TM)  and  Odyssey(TM)  had been  fully  reserved,  no cost of sales  were
recorded in connection  with this sale,  thus resulting in gross profit equal to
the sales price of $125,000.  We do not expect the sales of these items, if any,
to be significant in the future.

         At this time, our Photon(TM) Laser Ocular Surgery Workstation  requires
additional development and regulatory approvals.  Any possible future efforts to
complete  development  of the  Photon(TM)  and obtain the  necessary  regulatory
approvals  would depend on our economic  evaluations  and adequate  funding.  If
these efforts were  undertaken but proved to be  unsuccessful,  the impact would
include  the costs  associated  with these  efforts and the  anticipated  future
revenues  that we would not  receive  as  expected.  We are  unable to provide a
detailed estimate of possible  liquidity needs and expected sources of funds for
possible future efforts to complete development of the Photon(TM) and obtain the
necessary   regulatory   approvals   since  this  estimate  would  depend  on  a
comprehensive economic evaluation.

                                       31


Effect of Inflation and Foreign Currency Exchange

         We have not realized a reduction  in the selling  price of our products
as a result of domestic  inflation.  Nor have we experienced  unfavorable profit
reductions due to currency  exchange  fluctuations or inflation with its foreign
customers. All sales transactions to date have been denominated in U.S. Dollars.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

         In  April  2003,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133
on  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities."  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  149  provides  for  certain  changes  in  the  accounting
treatment of derivative  contracts.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003,
except for certain provisions that relate to SFAS No. 133 Implementation  Issues
that have been effective for fiscal  quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003,
which  should  continue  to be  applied  in  accordance  with  their  respective
effective  dates.  The guidance should be applied  prospectively.  We anticipate
that the adoption of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 149 will
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

         In May 2003, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 150,  "Accounting for Certain  Financial
Instruments  with  Characteristics  of both  Liabilities  and Equity."  This new
statement changes the accounting for certain  financial  instruments that, under
previous  guidance,  issuers could account for as equity. It requires that those
instruments be classified as liabilities in balance sheets. Most of the guidance
in  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  150 is  effective  for  all
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. We anticipate
that the adoption of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  150 will not
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

         The  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force  issued  EITF  No.  00-21,  "Revenue
Arrangements  with Multiple  Deliverables"  addressing the allocation of revenue
among  products  and  services  in  bundled  sales  arrangements.  EITF 00-21 is
effective for  arrangements  entered into in fiscal periods after June 15, 2003.
We do not expect  the  adoption  of EITF 00-21 to have a material  impact on our
financial position or future operations.

         In  April  2002,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  145,  "Rescission  of FASB
Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." This statement requires the classification of gains or losses from
the extinguishments of debt to meet the criteria of Accounting  Principles Board
Opinion  No. 30 before they can be  classified  as  extraordinary  in the income
statement. As a result,  companies that use debt extinguishment as part of their
risk  management  cannot classify the gain or loss from that  extinguishment  as
extraordinary. The statement also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain
lease  modifications  that  have  economic  effects  similar  to  sale-leaseback
transactions.  We do not  expect the  adoption  of  Statement  No. 145 to have a
material impact on our financial position or future operations.

         In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal  Activities."  This  standard,  which is effective  for exit or
disposal activities  initiated after December 31, 2002, provides new guidance on
the  recognition,  measurement  and  reporting  of costs  associated  with these
activities.  The standard requires  companies to recognize costs associated with
exit or disposal  activities  when they are incurred rather than at the date the
company  commits to an exit or disposal  plan.  We do not expect the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 to have a material impact on
our financial position or future operations.

         In December  2002,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition  and Disclosure--an  amendment of Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board  Statement  No. 123," which is  effective  for all fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2002.  Statement No. 148 provides  alternative methods
of  transition  for a  voluntary  change  to the  fair  value  based  method  of
accounting for stock-based  employee  compensation  under Statement No. 123 from
the  intrinsic  value  based  method  of  accounting  prescribed  by  Accounting
Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25.  Statement  148 also  changes the  disclosure
requirements of Statement No 123,  requiring a more prominent  disclosure of the
pro-forma  effect of the fair value based method of accounting  for  stock-based
compensation.  We do not  expect the  adoption  of  Statement  No. 148 to have a
material impact on our financial position or future operations.

                                       32


         In January  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Interpretation  No.  46,   Consolidation  of  Variable  Interest  Ethics,  which
addresses  consolidation by business  enterprises of variable interest entities.
Interpretation No. 46 clarifies the application of Accounting  Research Bulletin
No. 51, Consolidated  Financial Statements,  to certain entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or
do not have  sufficient  equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without   additional   subordinated   financial   support  from  other  parties.
Interpretation No. 46 applies  immediately to variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise
obtains an  interest  after that date.  It applies in the first  fiscal  year or
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable  interest  entities in
which an enterprise  holds a variable  interest that it acquired before February
1, 2003. We do not expect to identify any variable  interest  entities that must
be consolidated.  In the event a variable  interest entity is identified,  we do
not expect the requirements of  Interpretation  No. 46 to have a material impact
on our financial condition or future operations.

         In November  2002,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Interpretation  No. 45, Guarantor's  Accounting and Disclosure  Requirements for
Guarantees,   Including   Indirect   Guarantees  of   Indebtedness   of  Others.
Interpretation  No. 45 requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value,
which is different from current  practice to record a liability only when a loss
is probable and  reasonably  estimable,  as those terms are defined in Financial
Accounting  Standard  Board  Statement  No.  5,  Accounting  for  Contingencies.
Interpretation No. 45 also requires us to make significant new disclosures about
guarantees.  The disclosure  requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective
for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Interpretation No. 45's initial
recognition and initial  measurement  provisions are applicable on a prospective
basis to guarantees  issued or modified  after  December 31, 2002.  Our previous
accounting for guarantees issued prior to the date of the initial application of
Interpretation  No. 45 will not be revised or restated to reflect the provisions
of Interpretation No. 45. We do not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 45
to have a material impact on our  consolidated  financial  position,  results of
operations or cash flows.

                                    BUSINESS

General

         We develop,  manufacture,  source,  market and sell ophthalmic surgical
and diagnostic  instrumentation and related  accessories,  including  disposable
products.  Our surgical  equipment is designed for minimally  invasive  cataract
treatment.  We market two cataract surgery systems with related  accessories and
disposable  products.  Our cataract removal system, the Photon(TM) laser system,
is a laser cataract  surgery system  marketed as the next generation of cataract
removal.  Because of the "going concern"  status of the company,  management has
focused  efforts on those  products and  activities  that will,  in its opinion,
achieve the most  resource  efficient  short-term  cash flow to the company.  As
reflected in the results for the quarter ended  September  30, 2003,  diagnostic
products are currently our major focus and the  Photon(TM)  and other  extensive
research  and  development  projects  have  been  put  on  hold  pending  future
evaluation when the financial position of the company improves.  Due to the lack
of FDA approval and the lack of current evidence to support  recoverability,  we
have  recorded an  inventory  reserve to offset the  majority  of the  inventory
associated with the Photon(TM).  In addition, most inventory associated with the
Precisionist Thirty Thousand(TM) has been reserved for due to the estimated lack
of  recoverability.  Our  focus is not on any  specific  diagnostic  product  or
products,  but rather on our entire group of diagnostic products. The Photon(TM)
can be sold in markets outside of the United States. Both the Photon(TM) and the
Precisionist   ThirtyThousand   (TM)  are  manufactured  as  an  Ocular  Surgery
Workstation(TM).  We are  considering  marketing the Photon(TM) and other lasers
for use in eye care.

         Our  diagnostic  products  include  a  pachymeter,  a  P55  pachymetric
analyzer,  a P37  Ultrasonic  A/B Scan, a P40 UBM  Ultrasound  Biomicroscope,  a
perimeter, a corneal topographer and the Blood flow Analyzer(TM). The diagnostic
ultrasonic products including the P55 pachymetric  analyzer,  the P37 Ultrasonic
A/B Scan and the P40 UBM  Ultrasound  Biomicroscope  were acquired from Humphrey
Systems,  a division of Carl Zeiss in 1998. We developed and offered for sale in
the fall of 2000 the P45, which combines the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan and the UBM
biomicroscope  in one machine.  The perimeter and the corneal  topographer  were
added when we  acquired  the  outstanding  shares of the stock of  Vismed,  Inc.
d/b/a/ Dicon(TM) in June 2000. We purchased Ocular Blood Flow, Ltd. in June 2000
whose principal product is the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). This product is designed
for the  measurement  of  intraocular  pressure and pulsatile  ocular blood flow
volume for  detection and  treatment of glaucoma.  We are  currently  developing
additional applications for all of its diagnostic products.

                                       33


         A  cataract  is  a  condition,   which  largely   affects  the  elderly
population,  in which the natural  lens of the eye  hardens and becomes  cloudy,
thereby reducing visual acuity. Treatment consists of removal of the cloudy lens
and  replacement  with a synthetic lens implant,  which restores  visual acuity.
Cataract surgery is the single largest volume and revenue  producing  outpatient
surgical  procedure  for  ophthalmologists  worldwide.  The Health Care  Finance
Administration  reports  that in the United  States  approximately  two  million
cataract  removal  procedures  are performed  annually,  making this the largest
outpatient  procedure  reimbursed  by Medicare.  Most  cataract  procedures  are
performed using a method called  phacoemulsification or "phaco", which employs a
high frequency (40 kHz to 60 kHz) ultrasonic probe needle device to fragment the
cataract  while  still in the eye and remove it in pieces by  suction  through a
small incision.

         In June  1997,  we  received  FDA  clearance  to market  the Blood Flow
Analyzer(TM) for measurement of intraocular  pressure and pulsatile ocular blood
flow for the  detection of glaucoma and other retina  related  diseases.  Ocular
blood flow is  critical,  the  reduction  of which may cause nerve fiber  bundle
death through oxygen deprivation, thus resulting in visual field loss associated
with glaucoma.  Our Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM) is a portable  automated  in-office
system that presents an affordable  method for ocular blood flow testing for the
ophthalmic and optometric practitioner. In June 2000, we purchased Occular Blood
Flow,  Ltd.,  the  manufacturer  of the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM).  The terms and
conditions of the sale were $100,000 in cash and 100,000 shares of common stock.
In April 2001, we received  authorization to use a common procedure  terminology
or CPT code from the American Medical Association for procedures  performed with
the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) , for  reimbursement  purposes for doctors using the
device. However,  certain payers have elected not to reimburse doctors using the
Blood Flow Analyzer(TM).

         On July 23, 1998, we entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of
Assets with the  Humphrey  Systems  Division of Carl Zeiss,  Inc. to acquire the
ownership and  manufacturing  rights to certain assets of Humphrey  Systems that
are   used   in   the    manufacturing    and   marketing   of   an   ultrasonic
microprocessor-based  line of ophthalmic diagnostic  instruments,  including the
Ultrasonic  Biometer  Model 820, the A/B Scan System  Model 837, the  Ultrasound
Pachymeter  Model 855,  and the  Ultrasound  Biomicroscope  Model  840,  and all
accessories, packaging and end-user collateral materials for each of the product
lines for the sum of  $500,000,  payable in the form of 78,947  shares of common
stock which were issued to Humphrey  Systems and 26,316  shares of common  stock
which were issued to business broker Douglas Adams. If the net proceeds received
by Humphrey Systems from the sale of the shares issued pursuant to the Agreement
was less than $375,000,  after payment of commissions,  transfer taxes and other
expenses  relating  to the sale of such  shares,  we would be  required to issue
additional  shares of common stock, or pay additional  funds to Humphrey Systems
as would be necessary  to increase the net proceeds  from the sale of the assets
to $375,000.  Since  Humphrey  Systems  realized  only $162,818 from the sale of
78,947 shares of our common stock, we issued 80,000 additional shares in January
1999 to enable Humphrey Systems to receive its guaranteed  amount. The amount of
$21,431  was paid to us as  excess  proceeds  from  the sale of this  additional
stock.

         The rights to the ophthalmic  diagnostic  instruments,  which have been
purchased from Humphrey Systems, complement both our cataract surgical equipment
and our ocular Blood Flow Analyzer(TM).  The Ultrasonic  Biometer calculates the
prescription for the intraocular  lens to be implanted during cataract  surgery.
The P55 pachymetric  measures corneal thickness for the new refractive  surgical
applications   that  eliminate  the  need  for  eyeglasses  and  for  optometric
applications  including  contact  lens  fitting.  The P37  Ultrasonic  A/B  Scan
combines the Ultrasonic  Biometer and ultrasound imaging for advanced diagnostic
testing throughout the eye and is a viable tool for retinal specialists. The P40
UBM Ultrasound  Biomicroscope utilizes microscopic digital ultrasound resolution
for detection of tumors and improved glaucoma management.  We introduced the P45
in the fall of  2000,  which  combines  the P37  Ultrasonic  A/B  Scan,  and the
Ultrasonic Biometer in one machine.

         On October 21,  1999,  we purchased  Mentor's  surgical  product  line,
consisting of the Phaco  SIStem(TM),  the Odyssey(TM)  and the  Surg-E-Trol(TM).
This  acquisition was an attempt to round out our cataract  surgery product line
by  adding  entry-level,   moderately  priced  cataract  surgery  products.  The
transaction was paid for with $1.5 million worth of our common stock. Due to the
lack of sales volume of these products, they have been determined to be obsolete
and a reserve has been established to offset all inventory associated with these
products.  During  the  fourth  quarter of 2003,  we sold all  inventory  rights
associated with the SIStem(TM) and Odyssey(TM) for $125,000.

         On June 5, 2000,  we  purchased  Vismed Inc.  d/b/a  Dicon(TM)  under a
pooling of interest  accounting  treatment.  The purchase included the Dicon(TM)
perimeter  product line  consisting  of the LD 400,  the TKS 5000,  the SST(TM),
FieldLink(TM),  FieldView(TM) and Advanced FieldView and the corneal topographer
product  line,  the CT 200TM,  the CT 50 and an  ongoing  service  and  software
business.  Perimeters  are used to  determine  retinal  sensitivity  testing the
visual  pathway.  Corneal  topographers  are used to  determine  the  shape  and

                                       34



integrity of the cornea,  the anterior surface of the eye. Corneal  topographers
are used for the refractive  surgical  applications  that eliminate the need for
eyeglasses and for optometric applications including contact lens fitting.

         In January  2002,  we purchased  the  Innovatome(TM)  microkeratome  of
Innovative  Optics,  Inc. by issuing an  aggregate  of  1,272,825  shares of its
common stock,  warrants to purchase  250,000 shares of our common stock at $5.00
per share,  exercisable  over a period of three years from the closing date, and
$100,000 in cash. The  transaction was accounted for as a purchase in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141.

         We acquired from Innovative  Optics raw materials,  work in process and
finished  goods  inventories.   Additionally,  we  acquired  the  furniture  and
equipment used in the manufacturing process of the microkeratome console and the
inspection  and packaging of the  disposable  blades.  We were  unsuccessful  in
supplying the disposable blades. We discontinued the marketing and sales efforts
of this product  during the third  quarter of 2002. On April 1, 2002, we entered
into a  consulting  agreement  with John Charles  Casebeer,  M.D. to develop and
promote the  microkeratome.  For Dr. Casebeer's  services during the period from
April 1, 2002 to September  30, 2002,  we issued him a total of 43,684 shares of
our common stock, representing payment of $100,000 in stock for his services.

         On September 19, 2002, we completed a  transaction  with  International
Bio-Immune  Systems,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  , in  which  we  acquired
2,663,254  shares,  or 19.9% of the outstanding  shares of its common stock, and
warrants to purchase  1,200,000 shares of its common stock of at $2.50 per share
for a period of two years,  through the exchange and issuance of 736,945  shares
of our common  stock,  the lending of 300,000  shares of our common stock to the
company and the payment of certain of its  expenses  through the  issuance of an
aggregate of 94,000 shares of our common stock to the company and its counsel.

         International  Bio-Immune Systems,  Inc. may sell the 300,000 shares of
our common stock loaned by us and the proceeds  therefrom shall be deemed a loan
from us payable on the  earlier of  September  19,  2002,  or the closing of any
private  placement  or  public  offering  of  the  securities  of  International
Bio-Immune Systems, any merger involving more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of International  Bio-Immune Systems,  or any sale,  dissolution,  transfer,  or
assignment  of corporate  assets other than in the ordinary  course of business.
Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal of the loan at the rate of 10% per
annum. If International Bio-Immune Systems does not sell the shares by September
19, 2004, it is required to return the shares,  or any amount which has not been
sold, to us.  International  Bio-Immune  Systems  currently  controls the voting
decisions  regarding these shares.  The President and Chief Executive Officer of
International  Bio-Immune  Systems is Leslie F. Stern, who exercises sole voting
and investment powers regarding the shares.

         On December 3, 2003,  we executed a purchase  agreement  with  American
Optisurgical, Inc. for the sale of the Mentor surgical products line, consisting
of the Phaco SlStem(TM) and the Odyssey(TM).  The assets sold in the transaction
included patents,  trademarks,  software codes and programs,  supplies,  work in
process,  finished goods, and molds related to the equipment. The purchase price
paid to us by American  Optisurgical  for the assets was $125,000.  The purchase
agreement also contained a noncompete  provision in which we agreed for a period
of three years from the closing date not to own, manage,  operate or control any
business that competes with cataract removal equipment substantially the same as
the proprietary technology of the Phaco SlStem(TM) and the Odyssey(TM).

Background

         Corporate History: Our business originated with Paradigm Medical, Inc.,
a California  corporation formed in October 1989.  Paradigm Medical  Industries,
Inc. developed our present ophthalmic  business and was operated by our founders
Thomas F.  Motter and Robert W.  Millar.  In May 1993,  Paradigm  Medical,  Inc.
merged with Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. At the time of the merger, we were
a dormant  public  shell  existing  under the name French Bar  Industries,  Inc.
French Bar had operated a mining and tourist  business in Montana.  Prior to its
merger  with  Paradigm  Medical,  Inc. in 1993,  French Bar had  disposed of its
mineral and mining assets in a settlement of  outstanding  debt and had returned
to the  status  of a  dormant  entity.  Pursuant  to the  merger,  we  caused  a
1-for-7.96  reverse stock split of our shares of common stock.  We then acquired
all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of common stock of Paradigm  Medical,
Inc.  using  shares of our own  common  stock as  consideration.  As part of the
merger, we changed our name from French Bar Industries, Inc. to Paradigm Medical
Industries,  Inc. and our management  assumed  control of the company.  In April
1994, we caused a 1-for-5  reverse stock split of our shares of common stock. In
February 1996, we re-domesticated to Delaware pursuant to a reorganization.

Overview

         Disorders of the Eye: The human eye is a complex organ which  functions
much  like a  camera,  with a lens in front and a  light-sensitive  screen,  the
retina,  in the rear. The  intervening  space contains a transparent  jelly-like
substance,  the vitreous,  which  together with the outer layer,  the sclera and
cornea,  helps the  eyeball to  maintain  its shape.  Light  enters  through the
cornea,  a  transparent  domed  window at the front of the eye.  The size of the
pupil, an aperture in the center of the iris,  controls the amount of light that
is then focused by the lens onto the retina as an upside-down image. The lens is
the internal  optical  component  of the eye and is  responsible  for  adjusting
focus. The lens is enclosed in a capsule. The retina is believed to contain more
than 130 million  light-receptor  cells.  These cells  convert  light into nerve
impulses  that are  transmitted  right-side  up by the optic nerve to the brain,
where they are interpreted. Muscles attached to the eye control its movements.

         Birth  defects,   trauma  from  accidents,   disease  and  age  related
deterioration  of  the  components  of  the  eye  could  all  contribute  to eye
disorders.  The most common eye disorders are either pathological or refractive.
Many  pathological  disorders  of the eye can be  corrected  by  surgery.  These
include cataracts  (clouded lenses),  glaucoma  (elevated  pressure in the eye),
corneal   disorders   such  as  scars,   defects  and  irregular   surfaces  and
vitro-retinal disorders such as the attachment of membrane growths to the retina
causing blood leakage within the eye. All of these  disorders can impair vision.
Many  refractive  disorders can be corrected  through the use of eyeglasses  and
contact  lenses.  Myopia  (nearsightedness),   hyperopia   (farsightedness)  and
presbyopia  (inability  to  focus)  are  three  of the  most  common  refractive
disorders.

         Ultrasound   Technology:   Ultrasound   devices   have   been  used  in
ophthalmology  since the late 1960's for  diagnostic  and surgical  applications
when  treating  or  correcting  eye  disorders.   In   diagnostics,   ultrasound
instruments are used to measure distances and shapes of various parts of the eye
for  prescription  of eyeglasses and contact lenses and for  calculation of lens
implant  prescriptions for cataract surgery treatment.  These devices emit sound
waves  through a  hand-held  probe that is placed  onto or near the eye with the
sound waves  emitted  being  reflected by the targeted  tissue.  The  reflection
"echo" is computed into a distance value that is presented as a visual image, or
cross-section  of the eye, with precise  measurements  displayed and printed for
diagnostic use by the surgeon.

         Surgical use of ultrasonics in ophthalmology is limited to treatment of
cataract  lenses in the eye through a procedure  called  phacoemulsification  or
"phaco."  A primary  objective  of  cataract  surgeries  is the  removal  of the
opacified (cataract) lens through an incision that is as small as possible.  The
opacified  lens is then replaced by a new synthetic  lens  intraocular  implant.
Phaco  technology  involves a process by which a cataract  is broken  into small
pieces using ultrasonic shock waves delivered through a hollow, open-ended metal
needle attached to a hand-held probe. The fragments of cataracts tissue are then
removed through aspiration. Phaco systems were first designed in the late 1960's
after various  attempts by surgeons to use other  techniques to remove opacified
lenses, including crushing,  cutting, freezing,  drilling and applying chemicals
to the  cataract.  By the  mid-1970's,  ultrasound  had  proven  to be the  most
effective   technology  to  fragment  cataracts.   Market  Scope's  (Manchester,
Missouri),  "The 2001 Report on the  Worldwide  Cataract  Market",  January 2001
indicates that phaco cataract  treatment was the technology for cataract removal
used in over 80% of surgeries  in the United  States and over 20% of all foreign
surgeries.

         Laser   Technology:   The  term   "laser"  is  an  acronym   for  Light
Amplification  by Stimulated  Emission of  Radiation.  Lasers have been commonly
used for a variety of medical and ophthalmic procedures since the 1960's. Lasers
emit photons into a highly intense beam of energy that  typically  radiates at a
single wavelength or color. Laser energy is generated and intensified in a laser
tube or solid-state  cavity by charging and exciting photons of energy contained
within  material  called the lazing  medium.  This stored  light  energy is then
delivered to targeted tissue through focusing lenses by means of optical mirrors
or fiber optics.  Most laser systems use solid state  crystals or gases as their
lazing  medium.  Differing  wavelengths  of  laser  light  are  produced  by the
selection  of the  lazing  medium.  The  medium  selected  determines  the laser
wavelength  emitted,  which in turn is  absorbed by the  targeted  tissue in the
body.  Different tissues absorb different  wavelengths or colors of laser light.
The degree of absorption by the tissue also varies with the choice of wavelength
and is an important  variable in treating various tissues.  In a surgical laser,
light is emitted in either a continuous  stream or in a series of short duration
"pulses",  thus  interacting  with the  tissue  through  heat and  shock  waves,
respectively.  Several  factors,  including the  wavelength of the laser and the
frequency and duration of the pulse or exposure,  determine the amount of energy
that interacts with the targeted tissue and, thus, the amount of surgical effect
on the tissue.

         Lasers are widely accepted in the ophthalmic community for treatment of
certain eye disorders and are popular for surgical applications because of their
relatively  non-invasive  nature. In general,  ophthalmic lasers, such as argon,
Nd:YAG  and  excimer  (argon-fluoride)  are  used to  coagulate,  cut or  ablate
targeted  tissue.  The argon laser is used to treat leaking blood vessels on the
retina  (retinopathy)  and  retinal  detachment.  The  excimer  laser is used in
corneal refractive surgery. The Nd:YAG pulsed laser is used to perforate clouded

                                       36



posterior  capsules  (posterior  capsulotomy)  and to  relieve  glaucoma-induced
elevated   pressure  in  the  eye   (iridotomy,   trabeulorplasty,   transcleral
cyclophotocoagulation).  Argon, Nd:YAG and excimer lasers are primarily used for
one or two clinical  applications  each. In contrast to these conventional laser
systems,  our  Photon(TM)  laser  cataract  system  is  designed  to be used for
multiple ophthalmic applications, including certain new applications that may be
made possible with our proprietary technology.  Such new applications,  however,
must be tested in clinical trials and be approved by the FDA.

Products

         Our  principal  proprietary  surgical  products  are systems for use by
ophthalmologists  to perform surgical treatment  procedures to remove cataracts.
We have  complete  ownership  of each product  with no  technological  licensing
limitations.

         Precisionist ThirtyThousand(TM): The Precisionist ThirtyThousand(TM) is
our core  phaco  surgical  technology.  The  Precisionist(TM)  was  placed  into
production and offered for sale in 1997. As a phaco cataract surgery system,  we
believe the Precisionist(TM) with its new fluidics panel is equal or superior to
the present competitive systems in the United States.  However,  due to the lack
of recent sales, the majority of our inventory  associated with the Precisionist
Thirty  Thousand(TM)  has been  estimated to be obsolete and therefore a reserve
for such  inventory  has been  recorded.  The system  features  a graphic  color
display and unique  proprietary  on-board  computer and graphic  user  interface
linked to a soft-key  membrane panel for flexible  programmable  operation.  The
system provides real-time "on-the-fly" adjustment capabilities for each surgical
parameter  during  the  surgical  procedure  for  high-volume  applications.  In
addition,  the Precisionist(TM)  provides one hundred  pre-programmable  surgery
set-ups,  with a second level of  sub-programmed  custom modes within each major
surgical screen (i.e.,  ultrasound phaco and  irrigation/aspiration  modes). The
Precisionist(TM)  features our newly developed  proprietary fluidics panel which
is  completely  non-invasive  for improved  sterility  and to provide a surgical
environment  in the eye that  virtually  eliminates  fluidic  surge  and  solves
chamber  maintenance  problems normally  associated with phaco cataract surgery.
This new fluidics system provides greater control for the surgeon and allows the
safe operation at much higher vacuum settings by sampling  changes in aspiration
100  times  per  second.  Greater  vacuum  in phaco  surgery  means  less use of
ultrasound  or laser  energy  to  fragment  the  cataract  and less  chance  for
surrounding  tissue  damage.  In  addition  to the full  complement  of surgical
modalities  (e.g.,  irrigation,  aspiration,  bipolar  coagulation  and anterior
vitrectomy),  system automation includes  "dimensional" audio feedback of vacuum
levels and voice confirmation for major system functions, providing an intuitive
environment in which the advanced phaco surgeon can  concentrate on the surgical
technique rather than the equipment.  Sales of the  Precisionist(TM)  were 2% of
total  revenue  and  not   significant   in  the  fiscal  years  2002  or  2001,
respectively.

         Ocular  Surgery  Workstation(TM):  The Ocular  Surgery  Workstation(TM)
comprises  the base  system of the  Precisionist  ThirtyThousand(TM)  and is the
first system to our knowledge,  which uses the expansive capabilities of today's
advanced computer  technology to offer seamless open architecture  expandability
of the system hardware and software  modules.  The  Workstation(TM)  utilizes an
embedded  open  architecture  computer  developed  for  us and  controlled  by a
proprietary  software system developed by us that interfaces with all components
of  the  system.  Ultrasound,   fluidics  (irrigation),   aspiration,   venting,
coagulation  and anterior  vitrectomy  (pneumatic)  are all included in the base
model.  Each  component is controlled  as a peripheral  module within this fully
integrated system. This approach allows for seamless expansion and refinement of
the  Workstation(TM)  with  the  ability  to add  other  hardware  and  software
features.  Expansion  such as our  Photon(TM)  laser  system  and  hardware  for
additional   surgical   applications  are  easily  implemented  by  means  of  a
pre-existing  expansion rack, which resides in the base of the  Workstation(TM).
These expanded  capabilities  could  include,  but would not be limited to laser
systems,  video  surgical  fiber  optic  imaging,   cutting  and  electrosurgery
equipment.  However,  there is no  guarantee  that the  Workstation(TM)  will be
accepted in the marketplace.  If the FDA approves the Photon(TM),  we will refer
to the  Workstation(TM)  as the Photon(TM)  Ocular Surgery  Workstation(TM).  To
date,  we have not  commercially  developed  or offered for sale any other added
hardware or software  features to its  Workstation  (TM).  Because of the "going
concern" status of the company, management has focused efforts on those products
and activities  that will, in its opinion,  achieve the most resource  efficient
short-term cash flow to the company. As reflected in the results for the quarter
ended September 30, 2003,  diagnostic products are currently our major focus and
the Photon(TM) and other extensive  research and development  projects have been
put on hold pending future evaluation when the financial position of the company
improves.  Due to the lack of FDA approval  and the lack of current  evidence to
support  recoverability,  we have  recorded an  inventory  reserve to offset the
majority of the inventory  associated with the  Photon(TM).  Our focus is not on
any specific  diagnostic product or products,  but rather on the entire group of
diagnostic products.

                                       37


         Photon(TM) Laser System: The Photon(TM) laser cataract system, which is
still subject to FDA approval, is designed to be installed as a seamless plug-in
upgrade or add-on to our Precisionist(TM)  Ocular Surgery  Workstation(TM).  The
plug-in platform concept is unique in the ophthalmic surgical market for systems
of this  magnitude  and presents a unique  market  opportunity  for us. The main
elements  of the laser  system are the Nd:YAG  laser  module,  Photon(TM)  laser
software  package and  interchangeable  disposable  hand-held  fiber optic laser
cataract  probe.  The  Photon(TM)  laser  utilizes the  on-board  microprocessor
computer of the  Workstation(TM)  to generate short pulse laser energy developed
through the patented  LCP(TM) to targeted  cataract tissue inside the eye, while
simultaneously  irrigating the eye and aspirating the diseased  cataract  tissue
from the eye.  The probe is smaller in  diameter  than  conventional  ultrasound
phaco  needles and presents no damaging  vibration or heat  build-up in the eye.
Our Phase I clinical trials demonstrated that this probe could easily reduce the
size of the  cataract  incision  from 3.0 mm to under  2.0 mm  thereby  reducing
surgical  trauma  and  complementing   current  foldable   intraocular   implant
technology.

         The laser probe may also eliminate any possibility for burns around the
incision  or at the  cornea  and may  therefore  be used with  cataract  surgery
techniques  that  utilize  a more  delicate  clear  cornea  incision  which  can
eliminate sutures and be conducted with topical anesthesia. However, this system
may not effectively remove harder grade cataracts. Harder grade cataracts can be
removed   using   the   already   existing   ultrasound    capability   of   the
Precisionist(TM).  Because  of  the  "going  concern"  status  of  the  company,
management has focused  efforts on those  products and activities  that will, in
its opinion,  achieve the most resource  efficient  short-term  cash flow to the
company.  As reflected in the results for the quarter ended  September 30, 2003,
diagnostic  products are currently our major focus and the  Photon(TM) and other
extensive research and development projects have been put on hold pending future
evaluation when our financial position improves. Due to the lack of FDA approval
and the lack of current evidence to support recoverability,  we have recorded an
inventory  reserve to offset the majority of the inventory  associated  with the
Photon(TM). Our focus is not on any specific diagnostic product or products, but
rather on our entire group of diagnostic products.

         At some  point  in the  future,  we may  intend,  subject  to  economic
feasibility and the availability of adequate funds, to refine the laser delivery
system and laser cataract  surgical  technique  used on soft  cataracts  through
expanded   research  and  clinical  studies.   Subject  to  the   aforementioned
constraints,  we intend to refine the  fluidics  management  system by improving
chamber  maintenance  during  surgical  procedures and to develop  techniques to
optimize time and improve  invasive  techniques  through  expanded  research and
clinical  studies.  As for as we  can  determine,  no  integrated  single  laser
photofragmenting  probe is  presently  available  on the market  that uses laser
energy directly,  contained in an enclosed probe, to denature cataract tissue at
a precise location inside the eye while simultaneously irrigating and aspirating
the site.

         Our laser  system is based upon the concept  that pulsed  laser  energy
produced  with the  micro-processor  controlled  Nd:YAG  laser  system  provides
ophthalmic  surgeons  with a more  precise  and less  traumatic  alternative  in
cataract surgery.  Although conventional ultrasonic surgical systems have proven
effective  and  reliable  in  clinical  use for many  years,  their  use of high
frequency  shock waves and  vibration  to  fragment  the  cataract  can make the
procedure  difficult and can present risk of complication  both during and after
surgery. In contrast,  our laser system, which utilizes short centralized energy
bursts,  should  permit  the  delivery  of the laser  beam  with less  trauma to
adjacent tissue.  Therefore,  unlike  ultrasonic  systems,  whose vibrations and
shock waves affect (and can damage)  non-cataracts  tissues  within the eye, our
Photon(TM)  laser cataract system should only affect tissues with which it comes
into direct contact.

         In  October  of  2000,  we  received  FDA  approval  for  the  PhotonTM
Workstation(TM)  to be used with a 532mm  green  laser  which is  effective  for
medical  procedures other than cataract  removal,  such as  photocoagulation  of
retinal and venous anomalies within or outside the eye, pigmented lesions around
the orbital socket, posterior or anterior procedures associated with glaucoma or
diabetes  and  general   photocoagulation  for  various   dermatological  venous
anomalies including  telangiectasia  (surface veins), or commonly referred to as
"spider veins".  The goal is to be able to integrate  multiple laser wavelengths
into  one  system  or  workstation   that  can  be  used  for  multiple  medical
specialties.  This approval  represents  only one of the potential  applications
that could represent substantial growth opportunities including additional sales
of equipment, instruments, accessories and disposables.

         The Photon(TM) Ocular Surgery Workstation(TM) has not been commercially
developed  with any other  added  hardware  or  software  features.  There is no
guarantee  that the  ophthalmic  surgery  market  will  accept the laser in this
capacity or that the FDA will grant approval.  Regulatory approval would require
completion of pending  Photon(TM)  clinical trials and  resubmission of a 510(k)
predicate  device  application to the FDR. Because of the "going concern" status
of the company,  management has focused efforts on those products and activities
that will, in its opinion,  achieve the most resource efficient  short-term cash
flow to the company. As reflected in the results for the quarter ended September
30,  2003,  diagnostic  products  consisting  mainly  of the P40 UBM  Ultrasound

                                       38


Biomicroscope, perimeter, CT 50 Corneal Topographer, and Blood Flow Analyzer(TM)
are currently our major focus and the  Photon(TM) and other  extensive  research
and  development  projects have been put on hold pending future  evaluation when
the financial position of the company improves. Our focus is not on any specific
diagnostic  product or products,  buy rather on the entire  group of  diagnostic
products.

         The    SIStem(TM):    The   SIStem(TM)   has   been   our   entry-level
phacoemulsification  system.  The SIStem(TM) was designed to be a full-featured,
cost-effective,  reliable  phaco machine;  however,  due to the lack of sales in
2002,  the product was  determined  to be  obsolete.  Fiscal years 2002 and 2001
sales of the SIStem(TM)  represented  approximately 2% and 6% of total revenues,
respectively.  On December 3, 2003,  we  completed  the sale of the  SIStem(TM),
including patents,  trademarks,  software codes and programs,  supplies, work in
process, finished goods and molds, to American Optisurgical, Inc.

         Surgical  Instruments  and  Disposables:  In addition  to the  cataract
surgery  equipment,  our  surgical  systems  utilize or will  utilize  accessory
instruments and disposables,  some of which are proprietary to us. These include
replacement ultrasound tips, sleeves, tubing sets and fluidics packs, instrument
drapes and laser cataract probes. We intend to expand its disposable accessories
as it further  penetrates the cataract  surgery market and expands the treatment
applications for its Workstation(TM).  These products contributed  approximately
9% and 3% of total revenues for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

         Diagnostic  Eye Care  Products:  Glaucoma is a second  leading cause of
adult  blindness in the world.  Glaucoma is described as a partial or total loss
of visual field  resulting from certain  progressive  disease or degeneration of
the  retina,  macula or nerve  fiber  bundle.  The cause  and  mechanism  of the
glaucoma pathology is not completely understood. Present detection methods focus
on the  measurement  of  intraocular  pressure  in the  eye,  visual  field  and
observation  of the optic nerve head to determine  the  possibility  of pressure
being exerted upon the retina, and optic nerve fiber bundle,  which can diminish
visual field.  Recently,  retinal blood  circulation has been indicated as a key
component in the presence of glaucoma.  Some  companies  produce  color  Doppler
equipment in the $80,000 price range  intended to provide  measurement of ocular
blood flow activity in order to diagnose and treat glaucoma at an earlier stage.

         Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM):  In June 1997,  we received FDA  clearance to
market the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) for early detection and treatment  management
of glaucoma  and other retina  related  diseases.  The device  measures not only
intraocular  pressure but also  pulsatile  ocular blood flow,  the  reduction of
which may cause  nerve  fiber  bundle  death  through  oxygen  deprivation  thus
resulting  in visual  field  loss  associated  with  glaucoma.  Our  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM)  is  a  portable  automated   in-office  system  that  presents  an
affordable  method  for  ocular  blood  flow  testing  for  the  ophthalmic  and
optometric  practitioner.  This was our first  diagnostic  eye care device.  The
device is a portable  desktop  system that utilizes a  proprietary  and patented
pneumatic Air Membrane Applanation Probe(TM) or AMAP(TM),  which can be attached
to any model of  standard  examination  slit lamp,  which is then  placed on the
cornea of the patient's eye to measure the intraocular  pressure within the eye.
The device is unique in that it reads a series of  intraocular  pressure  pulses
over a short period of time  (approximately five to ten seconds) and generates a
waveform profile, which can be correlated to blood flow volume within the eye. A
proprietary  software  algorithm  developed by David M. Silver,  Ph.D., at Johns
Hopkins  University,  calculates  the blood flow volume.  The device  presents a
numerical  intraocular  pressure  reading  and blood flow  analysis  rating in a
concise printout, which is affixed to the patient history file. In addition, the
data generated by the device can be downloaded to a personal computer system for
advanced database development and management.

         We market the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM) as a stand-alone  model packaged
with a custom built  computer  system.  The Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  utilizes a
single-use  disposable  cover  for the Air  Membrane  Applanation  Probe(TM),  a
corneal probe which is shipped in sterile packages. The probe tip cover provides
accurate readings and acts as a prophylactic barrier for the patient. The device
has been  issued a patent in the  European  Economic  Community  and the  United
States  and has a patent  pending  in Japan.  The FDA  cleared  the  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM)  for marketing in June 1997 and we commenced  selling the system in
September 1997. In addition to the Humphrey  products,  this diagnostic  product
allowed us to expand its market to approximately 35,000 optometry  practitioners
in the  United  States  in  addition  to  the  approximately  18,000  ophthalmic
practitioners  who currently  perform eye surgeries and are  candidates  for our
surgical systems.

         In April 2001, we received written authorization from the CPT Editorial
Research and Development  Department of the American Medical  Association to use
common  procedure  terminology  or CPT code  number  92120  for our  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM),  for reimbursement purposes for doctors using the device. However,
certain  payers  have  elected  not to  reimburse  doctors  using the Blood Flow
Analyzer(TM).  We are continuing  our aggressive  campaign to educate the payers
about the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM),  its  purposes and the  significance  of its
performance in patient care in order to achieve  reimbursements  to the doctors.
Currently, there is reimbursement by insurance payors to doctors using the Blood

                                       39


Flow  Analyzer(TM) in 22 states and partial  reimbursement in four other states.
The  amount of  reimbursement  to  doctors  using the  Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)
generally ranges from $56.00 to $76.00 per patient, depending upon the insurance
payor. Insurance payors providing  reimbursement for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM)
have the  discretion to increase or reduce the amount of  reimbursement.  We are
endeavoring to obtain  reimbursement  by insurance  payors in other states where
there is currently no reimbursement being made.

         The manufacturing  activities for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) have been
moved to the Salt  Lake City  facility  from the  outsourced  plant  located  in
England.  The  revenues  from sales of the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  represented
approximately  9% and 25% of  total  2002 and 2001  revenues,  respectively.  On
October  21,  2002,  we received  FDA  approval  on our 510(k)  application  for
additional  indications of use for the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM).  The additional
indications  include  pulsatile  ocular  blood flow and  pulsatile  ocular blood
volume.  These are  diagnostic  measurements  that  assess the  hemodynamic  and
vascular  health of the eye. Also, we are continuing our aggressive  campaign to
educate the insurance payers about the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM), its purposes and
the  significance  of its  performance  in  patient  care in  order  to  achieve
reimbursements  to the doctors using our Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM).  Sales of the
Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  accounted for  approximately 9% and 25% of total sales
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

         Dicon(TM)  perimeters consist of the LD 400, the TKS 5000, the SST(TM),
FieldLink(TM),  FieldView(TM)  and Advanced  FieldView.  Perimeters  are used to
determine retinal sensitivity testing the visual pathway. Perimeters have become
a standard  of care in the  detection  and  monitoring  of  glaucoma  worldwide.
Perimetry is reimbursable  worldwide.  The Dicon(TM) perimeters feature patented
kinetic  fixation and voice  synthesis now in 27 different  languages.  Software
programs  are sold to assist in the analysis of the test  results.  Sales of the
perimeters  generated  approximately  20% and 15% of the  2002  and  2001  total
revenues, respectively.

         Dicon(TM)  corneal  topographers  include the CT 200(TM) and the CT 50.
Corneal  topographers  are used to  determine  the  shape and  integrity  of the
cornea,  the  anterior  surface of the eye.  Clinical  applications  for corneal
topographers  include refractive surgery that eliminates the need for eyeglasses
and optometric  applications  including contact lens fitting.  Revenues from the
topographer  were  7%  and  12%  of  the  total  revenues  for  2002  and  2001,
respectively.  An  enhanced  version  of the CT  200(TM),  the CT  2000(TM),  is
scheduled to be introduced  during the fourth quarter of 2003. We are completing
the development of upgrades to the CT 200(TM) and the CT 50 Corneal Topographer,
which will be operating upon completion of the upgrades with Windows XP software
rather than the former  Windows 95 operating  systems.  We are also revising our
upgrade to offer the CT 200(TM)  with  Windows  2000  software  rather  than the
Windows XP software that we announced in August 2003.

         P55  Pachymetric  Analyzer:  The  ultrasonic  pachymeter  is  used  for
measurement  of corneal  thickness.  The Model P55 is  positioned  as a standard
office pachymeter.  This device is targeted to the refractive surgery market and
contributed  approximately  3% and 1% of the total  revenues  for 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

         Ultrasonic A-Scan: The Ultrasonic A-Scan has been removed from our line
of diagnostic  products.  The A-Scan is a prerequisite  procedure  reimbursed by
Medicare  and is  performed  before every  cataract  surgery.  Over 5,000 A-Scan
systems have been installed in the worldwide market,  representing a substantial
market  opportunity for software  upgrades and extended warranty contract sales.
A-Scan  sales were  approximately  2% and 1% of the total  revenues for 2002 and
2001, respectively.

         P37   Ultrasonic   A/B   Scan:   The  A/B  Scan  is  used  by   retinal
sub-specialists  to identify foreign bodies in the posterior  chamber of the eye
and to  evaluate  the  structural  integrity  of the  retina.  The  A/B  Scan is
attractive  to the general  ophthalmic  community at large  because of its lower
price point.  Sales from this product were  approximately 7% and 6% of the total
revenues for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

         P40  Ultrasound  Biomicroscope:  The P40 Ultrasound  Biomicroscope  was
developed  by  Humphrey  Systems  in  conjunction  with the New York Eye and Ear
Infirmary in Manhattan and the University of Toronto.  The UBM biomicroscope and
its  intellectual  property were included in the purchase from Humphrey  Systems
and  gives us the  proprietary  rights  to this  device.  The UBM  biomicroscope
creates a high-resolution  computer image of the unseen parts of the eye that is
a  "map"  for  the  glaucoma  surgeon.  The UBM  biomicroscope  is an  "enabling
technology" for the  ophthalmologist,  one that we have repositioned for broader
market  sales  penetration.   Formerly  sold  only  to  glaucoma   sub-specialty
practitioners,  we reintroduced the UBM biomicroscope at a price-point  targeted
for  the  average  practitioners  seeking  to add  glaucoma  filtering  surgical
procedures and income to their cataract surgical practice.

                                       40


         The  P40  UBM  Ultrasound   Biomicroscope  related  surgical  filtering
procedures  are fully  reimbursable  by Medicare and insurance  providers.  This
untapped new market positions us with our proprietary UBM  biomicroscope  and to
our knowledge,  the only commercially viable product of this type on the market,
as a leader in the rapidly expanding glaucoma imaging and treatment segment.  In
the fall of 2000 we introduced  the P45,  which  combines the P40 UBM Ultrasound
Biomicroscope and the P37 Ultrasonic A/B Scan in one instrument. We believe that
by combining  functions,  the P45 will appeal to a broader  market.  The P40 UBM
Ultrasound  Biomicroscope  sales  were  approximately  12% and 12% of the  total
revenues for 2002 and 2001, respectively.  The P45 contributed approximately 12%
and 8% of the total revenues for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

         In July of 2000, we received ISO 9001 and EN 46001  certification using
TUV Essen as the notified body. Under ISO 9001  certification,  our products are
now CE  marked.  The CE mark  allows us to ship  product  for  revenue  into the
European Community. We successfully retained our certification in 2002.

         Parts and Services:  The parts and services  revenue from the repair of
equipment sold accounted for  approximately 11% and 8% of total revenues in 2002
and 2001, respectively.

         Sales of other products represented 5% and 3% of total revenues in 2002
and 2001, respectively.

         We currently purchase  components and parts used in our products from a
limited number of key suppliers.  Our reliance on our principal  suppliers could
result in delays  associated  with  redesigning a product due to an inability to
obtain an adequate supply of required  components and parts, and reduced control
over pricing,  quality and timely  delivery.  The loss of any of these principal
suppliers  or the  inability  of a  supplier  to meet  performance  and  quality
specifications,  requested  quantities  or  delivery  schedules  could cause our
revenues to decline.  In addition,  any  interruption or  discontinuance  in the
supply of  components  or parts  could have an adverse  effect on our  business,
results of operation and financial  condition.  Our principal  suppliers include
Capistrano Labs, US Ultrasound and Anello.

Marketing and Sales

         Ophthalmologists are mainly office-based and perform their surgeries in
local  hospitals  or  surgical  centers  that  provide  the  necessary  surgical
equipment and  supplies.  Ophthalmologists  are generally  involved in decisions
relating to the  purchase of equipment  and  accessories  for their  independent
ambulatory   surgical  centers  and  for  the  hospitals  with  which  they  are
affiliated.  This  provides  the  opportunity  for  direct,  targeted,  personal
selling,  responsive  high quality  customer  service and short buying cycles to
achieve a product  sale in the office or  hospital.  Hospitals  also  comprise a
significant  market, as recent demand for ultrasonic  surgery technology has put
pressure on the  ophthalmologist,  who in turn persuades the hospital to install
the latest technology system so that he can offer this procedure to his patients
and the community.

         Industry  analysts  report that the United States  ophthalmic  surgical
device market has been  characterized by slower growth in recent years. This has
apparently been caused by the potential reforms  associated with the health care
industry.  Further,  hospitals  have been  inclined  to keep their  older  phaco
machines  longer than  expected as they have been  forced to mind  budgets  more
carefully and have become less willing to invest in capital equipment until more
information on health care reform becomes available.  However,  analysts predict
that the ophthalmic surgical device market will see renewed growth in the coming
years as the health  care  environment  stabilizes  and as the  growing  elderly
population produces an increased number of cataract surgeries.  As a consequence
of these  factors,  the market should see a greater rate of replacement of older
machines that hospitals and surgeons have been postponing for longer than usual.

         Current Market  Acceptance and Potential:  The principal  purchasers of
our  products  have been  ophthalmologists,  optometrists  and  clinics  in many
countries  throughout the world.  We believe that the market for our products is
being  driven by: (i) the aging of the  population,  which is  evidenced  by the
domestic and  international  cataract  surgery volume growth trend over the past
ten years, (The National Eye Institute reported in March 2002 that the number of
blind or  visually  impaired  Americans  is likely  to  double  over the next 30
years.) (ii) the entry by emerging countries (including China, Russia, and other
countries in Asia,  Eastern Europe and Africa) into advanced  technology medical
care for their populations,  (iii) increased awareness worldwide of the benefits
of the minimally  invasive phaco cataract procedure and (iv) the introduction of
technology improvements such as our laser system.

         Marketing Organization:  We market our products internationally through
a network of dealers and  domestically  through  direct  sales  representatives,
independent sales  representatives,  and ophthalmic product distributors.  As of
December 31,  2003,  we had ten direct  domestic  sales  representatives  in the
United States and 65 foreign dealers.  These sales  representatives are assigned
exclusive  territories  and have  entered  into  contracts  with us that contain
performance  quotas.  Domestic  sales  channels  have been  expanded  to include
independent  sales  representatives  and  distributors who began training on our
products in August  2003.  We also plan to  continue  to market our  products by
identifying  customers through internal market research,  trade shows and direct
marketing  programs.  We also  utilize a Clinical  Advisory  Board  comprised of
leading  ophthalmic  surgeons  in the  United  States  and  Europe  who speak at
conventions,  train  ophthalmologists  and visit foreign  doctors and dealers to
promote our products.

         Product  advertising  is intended  to be focused in the major  industry
trade  newspapers.  Most of the  ophthalmologists  or optometrists in the United
States receive one or more of these magazines through professional  subscription
programs. The media has shown strong interest in our technology and products, as
evidenced by several recent front-page articles in these publications.

         Manufacturing and Raw Materials: Currently, we maintain a 23,238 square
foot facility in Salt Lake City. We transferred the manufacturing activities for
the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  to San Diego from  Occular  Blood  Flow,  Ltd.  in
England  during 2001.  During the second  quarter of 2002, we  consolidated  and
closed the San Diego  operations into the Salt Lake City facility.  The facility
accommodates  our  manufacturing,  marketing and  engineering  capabilities.  We

                                       43


manufacture under systems of quality control and testing,  which comply with the
Quality  System  Requirements  established  by  the  FDA,  as  well  as  similar
guidelines  established  by  foreign  governments,  including  the CE  Mark  and
IS0-9001.

         We subcontract the manufacturing of some of its ancillary  instruments,
accessories  and  disposables  through  specified  vendors in the United States.
These  products are contracted in quantities  and at costs  consistent  with our
financial  purchasing  capabilities  and pricing needs.  We manufacture  certain
accessories and fluidics surgical tubing sets at our facility in Salt Lake City.

         Product Service and Support:  Service for our products is overseen from
our Salt Lake City location and is augmented by our international dealer network
who provide technical service and repair.  Installation,  on-site training and a
limited product  warranty are included as the standard terms of sale. We provide
distributors  with  replacement  parts at no charge during the warranty  period.
International  distributors are responsible for  installation,  repair and other
customer service to installed systems in their territory.  All systems parts are
modular  sub-components  that are  easily  removed  and  replaced.  We  maintain
adequate parts inventory and provides  overnight  replacement parts shipments to
its dealers.

         On July 11, 2002, we entered into a Major Account Facilitator  Contract
with Peter Kristensen and F. Briton  McConkie.  Under the terms of the contract,
Messrs. Kristensen and McConkie agreed to serve as intermediators between us and
an  international  agent or  customer  that  would  result  in an order  for 150
Photon(TM) laser systems in Asia. The contract provides that upon execution,  we
are to issue  100,000  shares of our  common  stock to  Messrs.  Kristensen  and
McConkie to cover all expenses  associated with the pursuit of the  transaction,
and upon  presentation  of a  verified  order to us, we have  agreed to issue an
additional  100,000  shares of common stock to Messrs.  Kristensen and McConkie.
Upon  completion,  and  delivery  and  receipt  of  payment  in  full  from  the
international  agent or customer for the 150 Photon(TM)  laser systems,  Messrs.
Kristensen and McConkie  would be issued an additional  480,000 shares of common
stock for serving as transaction facilitator.  We have issued a total of 100,000
shares of our common stock to Messrs.  Kristensen  and McConkie  pursuant to the
terms of the contract.

         Messrs.  Kristensen  and McConkie have retained Ralph Thompson of Novus
Technologies,  a Utah based firm,  to assist in the  marketing  and sales of our
Photon(TM)  laser system in Asia. Mr.  Thompson,  who lived in China for over 10
years,  represents U.S.  businesses  doing business in China. He currently makes
trips to China on a regular  basis on behalf of the  businesses  he  represents.
Although Mr.  Thompson  continues to represent us in the sale of our  Photon(TM)
laser  system  in  Asia,  he has not  been  successful  to date in  selling  our
Photon(TM) laser system to any customers in China or other Asian countries.

Research and Development

         Our primary  market for our surgical  products is the cataract  surgery
market.  However, we believe that our laser systems may potentially have broader
ophthalmic  applications.  Consequently,  we believe that a strong  research and
development  capability is important for our future. In addition to our expanded
in-house  research  and  development  capabilities,  we  have  enlisted  several
recognized and respected  consultants  and other  technical  personnel to act in
technical and medical advisory capacities.

         We believe our research and  development  capabilities  provide us with
the ability to respond to regulatory  developments,  including new products, new
product features devised from our users and new applications for our products on
a timely and proprietary  basis. We intend to continue investing in research and
development  and to  strengthen  our ability to enhance  existing  products  and
develop new products.

         Research,  development and service expenses (which includes  production
and  manufacturing  support and the service  department  expenses)  decreased by
$128,000,  or 4%, to $2,819,000  for the twelve months ended  December 31, 2002,
from  $2,947,000  for the same period in 2001.  Pursuant  to the asset  purchase
agreement with Innovative  Optics,  Inc., we issued 477,000 shares of our common
stock,  which was valued at $630,000  based upon the current market value of the
stock at the time of issue. This amount was recorded as in-process  research and
development costs related to the blade cost reduction  project.  No such expense
was  recorded  in 2001.  Consulting  fees  related to software  development  and
enhancements  increased  to $71,000  during  2002 from $0 for the same period in
2001. None of the costs of research and development  activities  during 2002 and
2001 was borne directly by customers.

                                       44


         From December 1, 2000 to November 30, 2002, we entered into a series of
consulting  agreements  with  Michael B.  Limberg,  M.D.,  in which he agreed to
evaluate new  technologies  and instruments for us. For his services during that
period,  we issued Dr.  Limberg a total of 48,000 shares of our common stock and
warrants to purchase  300,000 shares of common stock at exercise  prices ranging
from $4.00 to $6.75 per share.

         During the period in which Thomas F. Motter  served as our chairman and
chief executive  officer,  he formed a clinical advisory board and met from time
to time with the board.  Jeffrey F. Poore, who currently serves as our president
and chief executive officer, decided not to utilize the clinical advisory board.
Instead,  he consults with former  members of the advisory  board on an informal
basis.  We currently have no agreements  with any former members of the clinical
advisory  board and none of these  former  members hold or own any rights to our
products or technologies.

Competition

         General.  We are subject to competition in the cataract surgery and the
glaucoma  diagnostic  markets from two principal  sources:  (i) manufacturers of
competing  ultrasound systems used when performing  cataract treatments and (ii)
developers of technologies  for ophthalmic  diagnostic and surgical  instruments
used for  treatment.  A few large  companies  that are well  established  in the
marketplace,  have  experienced  management,  are well  financed  and have  well
recognized  trade  names and  product  lines  dominate  the  surgical  equipment
industry.  We believe that the combined sales of five entities  account for over
90% of the cataract  surgery market.  The remaining  market is fragmented  among
emerging smaller companies, some of which are foreign. The ophthalmic diagnostic
market has a similar composition.

         Most major competitors  either entered or expanded into the cataract or
glaucoma   markets   through  the   acquisition   of  smaller,   entrepreneurial
high-technology manufacturing companies. Therefore, because existing competitors
or other entities desiring to enter the market could conceivably acquire current
entrepreneurial  enterprises with small market activity, any and all competitors
must be considered to be formidable.

         The  Cataract  Surgical  System  Industry.   The  major   manufacturers
utilizing  ultrasonic  technology offer products currently in use. Those systems
rely on accessories  including  single-use  cassette  packs and other  ancillary
surgical disposables such as saline solution, sutures and intraocular lenses for
their profits.  The cassette packs are required for fluid and tissue  collection
during the surgical  procedure.  The  cassette  packs are  generally  unique and
proprietary  to their  respective  systems and  represent a barrier to entry for
third-party,  lower-cost after-market  suppliers.  While there is growing market
resistance in the United States and internationally to single-use cassettes,  we
anticipate that  manufacturers of ultrasound  equipment will continue to develop
and  enhance  their  present  ultrasound  products  in  order to  protect  their
investments in system and cassette  technology and to protect their profits from
sales of these cassettes and accessories.  Our Precisionist  Thirty Thousand(TM)
ultrasonic  phaco  system has the ability to use either  reusable or  single-use
disposable components.  The Photon(TM) laser cataract system will utilize probes
and cassette  packs  designed for  single-use  and  semi-disposable  instruments
priced at a level  consistent with the demands of health care cost  containment.
This will  allow  the  health  care  providers  a  substantial  measure  of cost
containment,  while providing us with the quality control and income  capability
of cassette sales.

         The international market, with significantly lower medical budgets, has
not been able to justify the expense of using disposable  components.  Budgetary
constraints have limited current  manufacturers from gaining a significant share
of the international  ultrasound equipment market, and have provided a niche for
the emerging smaller companies discussed above.

         Ultrasound Equipment Manufacturers. As a relatively recent entrant into
the cataract  surgical  equipment  market with a newer  equipment  line,  we are
establishing ourself and, as yet, do not hold a significant share of the market.
We currently recognize Bausch & Lomb, Alcon  Laboratories,  and Allergan Medical
Optics as our primary  competitors  in the ultrasound  phaco cataract  equipment
market.

         Laser  Equipment  Manufacturers.  There  are  several  other  companies
attempting to develop laser equipment for cataract surgery.  These companies can
be  differentiated  by the laser wavelength  employed for the cataract  surgery.
Based on the  information  currently  available to us;  Er:YAG laser  wavelength
appears  to offer a less  viable  means of  removing  cataracts  than the Nd:Yag
wavelength  used by the  Photon(TM).  One competitor  uses a Nd:YAG  wavelength,
however the laser is used only to vibrate an ultrasonic needle.  Thus the device
remains an  ultrasonic  system  subject to same risk  factors of phaco,  thereby
eliminating  the  benefits  of using a laser to  remove  the  cataract.  We also

                                       45


believe that our product is sufficiently  distinctive and, if properly marketed,
can capture a significant share of the cataract surgical device market. However,
there are  substantial  risks in undertaking a new venture in an established and
already  highly  competitive  industry.  In the  short-term,  we are  seeking to
exploit  these  opportunities.  Depending  upon  further  developments,  we  may
ultimately exploit those  opportunities  through a merger with a stronger entity
already established or one that desires to enter the medical industry.

         We believe that our ability to compete  successfully will depend on our
capability  to create and  maintain  advanced  technology,  develop  proprietary
products,  attract  and  retain  scientific  personnel,  obtain  patent or other
proprietary  protection  for our  products  and  technologies,  obtain  required
regulatory approvals and manufacture,  assemble and successfully market products
either alone or through third parties.

         The  Retinal  Diagnostic  Market.  The  Glaucoma  Research   Foundation
suggests that with the aging of the so-called baby boom  generation,  there will
be an increase of macular  degeneration  and glaucoma in the United States,  the
leading causes of adult blindness  worldwide.  The National Eye Institute stated
in 2002 that the number of visually impaired  Americans is likely to double over
the next three  decades.  Their report  estimated that 2.4 million people suffer
some vision  impairment in this country.  The damage caused by these diseases is
irreversible.  The  preconditions  for the  onset  of  macular  degeneration  or
glaucoma are low ocular blood flow and/or high intraocular pressure.  Diagnostic
screening is important for individuals susceptible to these diseases.  People in
high  risk  categories  include:  African  Americans  over 40 years of age,  all
persons  over 60 years of age,  persons  with a family  history of  glaucoma  or
diabetes, and the very nearsighted.  The glaucoma Research Foundation recommends
that these high risk individuals be tested regularly for glaucoma.  According to
the U.S.  Census  Bureau,  in 1995 there were over 30 million adults 65 years of
age and older and 8 million  African  Americans  45 years of age and older.  The
Glaucoma Research  Foundation  reports that glaucoma currently accounts for more
than 7 million visits to physicians annually.

         We are  subject to intense  competition  in the  ophthalmic  diagnostic
market from well-financed,  established  companies with recognizable trade names
and product lines and new and developing technologies. The industry is dominated
by  several  large  entities  which  we  believe  account  for the  majority  of
diagnostic  equipment sales. We continue to derive revenues from the sale of its
ultrasound diagnostic equipment and blood flow analyzer. The blood flow analyzer
is designed to detect  glaucoma in an earlier stage than is presently  possible.
In  addition,  the device  performs  tonometry  and blood flow  analysis.  Other
ophthalmic diagnostic devices that do not detect glaucoma in the early stages of
the disease as does our analyzer retail at comparable  prices.  Thus, we believe
that we can compete in the  diagnostic  market  place based upon the lower price
and improved diagnostic functions of the analyzer.

Intellectual Property Protection

         Our cataract surgical  products are proprietary in design,  engineering
and performance. Our surgical ultrasonic products have not been patented to date
because the primary technology for ultrasonic tissue fragmentation, as available
to all competitors in the market, is mainly in the public domain.

         We did acquire  proprietary  intellectual  property in the  transaction
with Humphrey Systems when we purchased the diagnostic  ultrasonic  product line
in 1999. This technology  uses ultrasound to create a  high-resolution  computer
image of the unseen parts of the eye that is a "map" for the  practitioner.  The
P40 UBM Ultrasound  Biomicroscope,  one of the ultrasonic products we purchased,
is subject to a license  agreement  dated  September 27, 1990,  with  Sunnybrook
Health Science  Center.  Under the terms of the license  agreement,  we have the
exclusive  worldwide rights to manufacture and sell the UBM  biomicroscope,  for
which we are required to pay a royalty of $150 for each  licensed  product sold.
The license agreement was automatically terminated by its terms on September 27,
2002, at which time we had a royalty free world-wide license to use and sell the
P40 UBM Ultrasound Biomicroscope. However, we have a continuing obligation after
such termination to continue to use and sell the biomicroscope only in the field
of ophthalmology.

         The Photon(TM)  laser cataract probe is protected under a United States
patent issued to Daniel M. Eichenbaum, M.D. in 1987 and subsequently assigned to
PhotoMed International,  Inc. and a Japanese patent issued to us in 1997 for the
utility and  methods of laser  ablation,  aspiration  and  irrigation  of tissue
through a hand-held probe of a unique design. The United States patent is due to
expire in September 2004.

         We secured the exclusive  worldwide rights to this patent shortly after
its issue, and to the international patents pending, from PhotoMed by means of a
license agreement dated July 7, 1993. The license agreement provides us with the
rights to  manufacture,  distribute and sell a laser system using the Photon(TM)

                                       46


laser cataract probe and related  components to customers on a world wide basis,
for which  PhotoMed is to receive a 1% royalty on all net sales of such  systems
and related components sold worldwide.

         Under  the  license  agreement  PhotoMed  is  entitled  to all  royalty
payments  from net sales at the time of  billing to the  purchaser  or within 30
days of the date of shipment,  whichever  occurs  first.  We are  required  each
quarter to prepare a summary of sales and the  royalties  to which  PhotoMed  is
entitled to be paid. The sales summary must list the number of surgical  systems
and  disposable  units sold in each  country,  the dollar value of gross and net
sales,  the amount of the royalty to which  PhotoMed is entitled,  and any other
information  requested  by  PhotoMed  from time to time.  Under the terms of the
agreement,  we have  agreed  to be  actively  engaged  in  either  research  and
development  of a saleable  product  utilizing  the patent or in  marketing  and
selling such a product.

         The license agreement was amended on December 5, 1997 to allow PhotoMed
the right to conduct research, development and marketing utilizing the patent in
certain  medical  subspecialties  other  than  ophthalmology  for which we would
receive  royalty  payments  equal to 1% of the  proceeds  from the net  sales of
products  utilizing the patent.  The license  agreement  expires when the United
States patent rights expire in September  2004, but the license  agreement shall
be  automatically  extended  or  renewed  for any term of  extension  or renewal
awarded for the patent rights.  In addition,  we have the right to terminate the
license  agreement  at any time after  July 7, 2003 upon 90 days  prior  written
notice to PhotoMed.

         PhotoMed  and  Dr.  Eichenbaum  brought  legal  action  against  us  on
September 11, 2000  involving an amount of royalties  that are allegedly due and
owing to them from the sale of  equipment  by us. We have paid  $14,736 to bring
all royalty payments up to date through June 30, 2001. We have been working with
PhotoMed and Dr.  Eichenbaum to ensure that the royalty  calculations  have been
correctly  made.  It is  anticipated  that once the parties agree on the correct
royalty calculations, the legal action will be dismissed. However, if the partes
are unable to agree on a method for calculating royalties,  there is a risk that
PhotoMed and Dr. Eichenbaum might amend the complaint to request  termination of
the  license  agreement  and,  if  successful,  we  would  lose  our  rights  to
manufacture or sell the Photon(TM) laser system.

         The Photon(TM)  laser  cataract probe is also protected  under a United
States patent issued to us in 2002 for a laser  surgical  device for the removal
of  intraocular  tissue  including a handpiece and a trap.  The patent is due to
expire in August 2019. There are also two pending United States patents relating
to the Photon(TM) laser cataract probe.

         The Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  has been  granted a patent in the United
Kingdom in 1998 and in the United  States in 1999,  and has a patent  pending in
Japan.  These patents relate to pneumatic  pressure  probes for use in measuring
change in intra-ocular  pressure and in measuring  pulsatile  ocular blood flow.
The United States  patent  rights expire in January 2019 and the United  Kingdom
patent rights expire in November 2015.

         The Dicon(TM) Perimeter and the Dicon(TM) Corneal Topographer each have
a U.S.  patent  with a wide scope of claims.  The United  States  patent for the
Dicon(TM)  Perimeter  was issued in 1991 and the patent  rights  expire in March
2010. The United States patent for the Dicon(TM) Corneal Perimeter was issued in
2002 and the patent rights expire in January 2018.

         Our  trademarks  are  important  to our  business.  It is our policy to
pursue trademark  registrations for its trademarks  associated with its products
as  appropriate.  Also,  we rely on common law  trademark  rights to protect its
unregistered trademarks,  although common law trademark rights do not provide us
with the same level of protection as would U.S. federal  registered  trademarks.
Common law trademark  rights only extend to the  geographical  area in which the
trademark is actually used while U.S. federal registration  prohibits the use of
the trademark by any party anywhere in the United States.

         We also  rely on  trade  secret  law to  protect  some  aspects  of our
intellectual  property.  All of our key employees,  consultants and advisors are
required  to  enter  into a  confidentiality  agreement  with  us.  Most  of our
third-party  manufacturers  and  formulators  are also bound by  confidentiality
agreements with us.

Regulation

         The FDA under the Food,  Drug and  Cosmetics Act regulates our surgical
and  diagnostic  systems as medical  devices.  As such,  these  devices  require
Premarket  clearance or approval by the FDA prior to their  marketing  and sale.

                                       47


Such clearance or approval is premised on the production of evidence  sufficient
for us to show reasonable  assurance of safety and  effectiveness  regarding our
products.  Pursuant to the Food,  Drug and Cosmetics  Act, the FDA regulates the
manufacture, distribution and production of medical devices in the United States
and the export of medical  devices from the United  States.  Noncompliance  with
applicable  requirements  can  result in fines,  injunctions,  civil  penalties,
recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, denial
of Premarket clearance or approval for devices.  Recommendations by the FDA that
we not be allowed to enter into  government  contracts and criminal  prosecution
may also be made.

         Following the enactment of the Medical  Device  Amendments to the Food,
Drug and Cosmetics Act in May 1976, the FDA began classifying medical devices in
commercial  distribution  into one of three  classes:  Class I, II or III.  This
classification  is based on the controls  that are  perceived to be necessary to
reasonably  ensure the  safety and  effectiveness  of medical  devices.  Class I
devices are those devices,  the safety and effectiveness of which can reasonably
be ensured through general  controls,  such as adequate  labeling,  advertising,
pre-marketing   notification   and  adherence  to  the  FDA's   Quality   System
Requirements  regulations.  Some  Class I devices  are  exempt  from some of the
general   controls.   Class  II  devices  are  those   devices  the  safety  and
effectiveness  of which can  reasonably  be assured  through  the use of special
controls,  such  as  performance  standards,  postmarket  surveillance,  patient
registries and FDA  guidelines.  Class III devices are devices that must receive
pre-marketing  approval  by the FDA to ensure  their  safety and  effectiveness.
Generally, Class III devices are limited to life-sustaining,  life-supporting or
implantable  devices,  or  to  new  devices  that  have  been  found  not  to be
substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices.

         There are two principal  methods by which FDA approval may be obtained.
One method is to seek FDA approval through a pre- marketing  notification filing
under Section 510(k) of the Food,  Drug and Cosmetics Act. If a manufacturer  or
distributor  of a  medical  device  can  establish  that a  proposed  device  is
"substantially  equivalent"  to a legally  marketed  Class I or Class II medical
device or to a  pre-1976  Class  III  medical  device  for which the FDA has not
called for a pre-marketing  approval,  the  manufacturer or distributor may seek
FDA Section  510(k)  pre-marketing  clearance for the device by filing a Section
510(k) pre-marketing notification. The Section 510(k) notification and the claim
of substantial  equivalence will likely have to be supported by various types of
data and materials,  possibly including clinical testing results, obtained under
an  Investigational  Device  Exemption  granted by the FDA. The  manufacturer or
distributor may not place the device into interstate  commerce until an order is
issued by the FDA granting pre- marketing clearance for the device. There can be
no assurance that we will obtain Section 510(k) pre-marketing  clearance for any
of the future devices for which we seek such clearance  including the Photon(TM)
laser system.

         The FDA may determine that the device is "substantially  equivalent" to
another  legally  marketed  Class I, Class II or  pre-1976  Class III device for
which  the FDA has not  called  for a  pre-marketing  approval,  and  allow  the
proposed  device to be marketed  in the United  States.  The FDA may  determine,
however,  that the  proposed  device  is not  substantially  equivalent,  or may
require further  information,  such as additional  test data,  before the FDA is
able  to  make  a  determination  regarding  substantial  equivalence.   A  "not
substantially  equivalent" determination or a request for additional information
could delay our market  introduction  of our  products and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

         The  alternate  method  to seek  approval  is to  obtain  pre-marketing
approval from the FDA. If a  manufacturer  or  distributor  of a medical  device
cannot establish that a proposed device is  substantially  equivalent to another
legally  marketed  device,  whether or not the FDA has made a  determination  in
response to a Section 510(k) notification,  the manufacturer or distributor will
have to seek pre- marketing  approval for the proposed  device.  A pre-marketing
approval  application  would have to be submitted  and be supported by extensive
data,  including  preclinical  and  clinical  trial data to prove the safety and
efficacy  of the  device.  If human  clinical  trials of a  proposed  device are
required and the device  presents a significant  risk, the  manufacturer  or the
distributor of the device will have to file an Investigational  Device Exemption
application  with  the FDA  prior  to  commencing  human  clinical  trials.  The
Investigational   Device  Exemption  application  must  be  supported  by  data,
typically  including  the  results  of animal  and  mechanical  testing.  If the
Investigational Device Exemption application is approved,  human clinical trials
may begin at a specific number of investigational sites, and the approval letter
could include the number of patients approved by the FDA.

         An Investigational  Device Exemption clinical trial can be divided into
several parts or phases.  Sometimes,  a company will conduct a feasibility study
(Phase  I) to  confirm  that a device  functions  according  to its  design  and
operating  parameters.  This is a usual  clinical  trial  site.  If the  Phase I
results are promising, the applicant may, with the FDA's permission,  expand the
number of  clinical  trial  sites and the  number of  patients  to be treated to

                                       48


assure reasonable stability of clinical results.  Phase II studies are performed
to confirm  predictability of results and the absence of adverse reactions.  The
applicant may, upon receipt of the FDA's authorization,  subsequently expand the
study to a third  phase  with a larger  number  of  clinical  trial  sites and a
greater number of patients. This involves longer patient follow-up times and the
collection of more patient data. Product claims,  labeling and core data for the
pre-marketing  approval are derived  primarily from this portion of the clinical
trial. The applicant may also, upon receipt of the FDA's permission, consolidate
one or more of such  portions  of the study.  Sponsors  of  clinical  trials are
permitted to sell those devices distributed in the course of the study, provided
such  compensation  does  not  exceed  recovery  of the  costs  of  manufacture,
research,  development and handling.  Although both approval methods may require
clinical  testing of the device in question  under an  approved  Investigational
Device Exemption,  the pre-marketing approval procedure is more complex and time
consuming.

         Upon receipt of the pre-marketing approval application, the FDA makes a
threshold  determination  whether the  application is  sufficiently  complete to
permit a  substantive  review.  If the FDA  determines  that  the  pre-marketing
approval is sufficiently  complete to permit a substantive  review, the FDA will
"file" the application.  Once the submission is filed, the FDA has by regulation
90 days to review it; however,  the review time is often extended  significantly
by the FDA asking for more information or  clarification of information  already
provided in the submission.  During the review period, an advisory committee may
also  evaluate  the  application  and provide  recommendations  to the FDA as to
whether the device  should be approved.  In  addition,  the FDA will inspect the
manufacturing  facility  to  ensure  compliance  with the FDA's  Quality  System
Requirements prior to approval of a pre-marketing application. While the FDA has
responded  to  pre-marketing  approval  applications  within the  allotted  time
period,  pre-marketing  approval reviews  generally take  approximately 12 to 18
months or more from the date of filing to approval.  The pre-marketing  approval
process  is  lengthy  and  expensive,  and there can be no  assurance  that such
approval  will be obtained for any of our products  determined  to be subject to
such  requirements.  A number of devices for which other  companies  have sought
pre-marketing approval have never been approved for marketing.

         Any products  manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to a premarket
clearance  notification  or  pre-marketing  approval  are or will be  subject to
pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA. The Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act
also requires that our products be manufactured in registered establishments and
in  accordance   with  Quality  System   Requirements   regulations.   Labeling,
advertising and  promotional  activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and,
in certain  instances,  by the Federal Trade  Commission.  The export of medical
devices is also subject to regulation in certain instances. In addition, the use
of our  products  may  be  regulated  by  various  state  agencies.  All  lasers
manufactured  for us are subject to the Radiation  Control for Health and Safety
Act administered by the Center for Devices and  Radiological  Health of the FDA.
The law requires laser  manufacturers to file new product and annual reports and
to maintain quality control,  product testing and sales records,  to incorporate
certain  design and operating  features in lasers sold to end users  pursuant to
specific  performance  standards,  and to comply with labeling and certification
requirements.  Various warning labels must be affixed to the laser, depending on
the class of the product, as established by the performance standards.

         Although  we believe  that we  currently  comply and will  continue  to
comply with all applicable  regulations  regarding the  manufacture  and sale of
medical  devices,  such  regulations  are  always  subject  to change and depend
heavily on administrative interpretations. There can be no assurance that future
changes in review guidelines,  regulations or administrative  interpretations by
the FDA or other regulatory bodies,  with possible  retroactive effect, will not
materially adversely affect us. In addition to the foregoing,  we are 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  potentially  hazardous  substances.  There can be no
assurance that we will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with
such laws and  regulations  and that such  compliance  will not have a  material
adverse effect upon our ability to conduct business.

         We and the  manufacturers of our products may be inspected on a routine
basis by both the FDA and individual  states for compliance with current Quality
System Requirements regulations and other requirements.

         Congress  has  considered  several  comprehensive  federal  health care
programs  designed  to  broaden  coverage  and  reduce  the  costs  of  existing
government and private insurance programs.  These programs have been the subject
of criticism within Congress and the health care industry,  and many alternative
programs and features of programs have been proposed and  discussed.  Therefore,
we cannot  predict  the content of any federal  health care  program,  if any is
passed by Congress,  or its effect on us and our  business.  Some  measures that
have been  suggested as possible  elements of a new program,  such as government
price  ceilings on  non-reimbursable  procedures  and  spending  limitations  on
hospitals  and other  healthcare  providers  for new  equipment,  could  have an
adverse  effect on our  business,  operating  results  or  financial  condition.
Uncertainty concerning the features of any health care program considered by the
Congress,  its  adoption  by the  Congress  and the effect of the program on our
business could result in volatility of the market price of our common stock.

                                       49


         Furthermore,  the introduction of our products in foreign countries may
require us to obtain  foreign  regulatory  clearances.  We  believe  that only a
limited  number of foreign  countries have  extensive  regulatory  requirements,
including  France,  Germany,  Korea,  China and  Japan.  The time  involved  for
regulatory  approval in foreign countries varies and can take a number of years.
A number of European and other economically advanced countries, including Italy,
Norway,  Spain and Sweden, have not developed  regulatory agencies for intensive
supervision of such devices. Instead, they generally have been willing to accept
the approval of the FDA. Therefore, a pre-marketing approval,  Section 510(k) or
approved Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA is tantamount to approval
in those  countries.  These countries and most developing  countries have simply
deferred  direct  discretion  to licensed  practicing  surgeons to determine the
nature of devices that they will use in medical  procedures.  Our two ultrasound
systems,  the Photon(TM)  laser cataract system we are developing and the ocular
blood flow analyzer are all devices,  which require FDA approval.  Therefore,  a
significant  aspect of the  acceptance  of the  devices in the market is the our
effectiveness  in  obtaining  the  necessary   approvals.   Having  an  approved
Investigational  Device  Exemption  allows us to export a product  to  qualified
investigational sites.

Regulatory Status of Products

         All of our products, with the exception of the Photon(TM), are approved
for sale in the U.S. by the FDA under a 510(k).  All of our  products  have been
accepted for import into CE countries and various non-CE countries.

         We  acquired  permission  from the FDA to export the  Photon(TM)  Laser
Cataract System outside the United States under an open  Investigational  Device
Exemption  granted by the FDA in September 1994.  Although the Photon(TM)  laser
cataract system is uniquely  configured in an original and  proprietary  manner,
the laser system,  a Nd:YAG laser, is not proprietary to the device or us and is
widely used in the medical  industry and other industries as well. Of particular
significance  is the fact that this particular  component has received  previous
market  clearance from the FDA for other  ophthalmic  and medical  applications.
Also of significance is our belief that the surgical  treatment method used with
the Photon(TM)  laser is similar to the current  ultrasound  cataract  treatment
employed by ophthalmologists.

         We submitted a Premarket Notification 510(k) application to the FDA for
the  Photon(TM)  laser  cataract  system in September  1993.  The FDA  requested
clinical  support  data for claims  made in the 510(k),  and in October  1994 we
submitted  an  Investigational  Device  Exemption  application  to provide for a
"modest  clinical  study" in order to collect  the data  required by the FDA for
clearance  of the  Photon(TM)  laser  cataract  system.  The  FDA  granted  this
Investigational Device Exemption in May 1995 for a Phase I Feasibility Study. We
began human  clinical  trials in April 1996 and  completed  the Phase I study in
November  1997.  We  started  Phase II trials in  September  1998 and  completed
numerous cases of treatment group and control group patients which were included
in our submission to the FDA.

         We received a warning letter dated August 30, 2000,  from the Office of
Compliance,  Center for  Devices  and  Radiological  Health of the Food and Drug
Administration relating to certain deficiencies in the human clinical trials for
our Photon(TM) Laser Cataract System. The warning letter concerns the conditions
found by the FDA during several audits at our clinical sites. The FDA's comments
were  isolated  to the  administrative  procedures  of  compiling  data from the
clinical  sites.  We  responded  to the  warning  letter in a  submission  dated
September 27, 2000. In the  submission we took  corrective  action that included
submitting a revised clinical  protocol and case report forms and procedures for
the  collection  and control of data. In a subsequent  letter dated  November 2,
2000 to us,  the FDA  granted  conditional  approval  provided  that we  correct
certain deficiencies. After providing several additional submissions to the FDA,
we received a letter  dated  February  13,  2001 from the FDA  stating  that the
deficiencies had been corrected and the clinical trials could continue.

         Subsequent to the warning letter,  we received approval to continue our
clinical  trials,  the  results  of  which  were  included  in our  supplemental
submission to the FDA in October 2001 for the existing (510)(k) predicate device
application  for the  Photon(TM)  laser system.  In December 2001, we received a
preliminary  review from the FDA regarding  the  supplemental  submission.  As a
result of that preliminary review, we submitted  additional clinical information
to the FDA on February 6, 2002. The  application is receiving  ongoing review by
the FDA. On May 7, 2002,  we received a letter from the FDA  requesting  further
clinical  information.  We have  generated  additional  clinical  information in
response to the letter and are uncertain if we will make a submission to the FDA
with the additional clinical information.  Because of the "going concern" status
of the company,  management has focused efforts on those products and activities
that will, in its opinion,  achieve the most resource efficient  short-term cash
flow to the company.  Our diagnostic  products are currently our major focus and
the Photon(TM) and other extensive research and development  prospects have been
put on hold pending future evaluation when our financial position improves.  Our
focus is not on any specific  diagnostic product or products,  but rather on our
entire group of diagnostic products.

Facilities

         Our executive  offices are  currently  located at 2355 South 1070 West,
Salt Lake City, Utah. This facility consists of approximately 23,238 square feet
of leased  office space under a three-year  lease that was to expire on March 1,
2003 with an additional  three-year renewal option.  These facilities are leased
from Eden Roc, a California partnership,  at a base monthly rate of $21,163 plus
a $3,342 monthly common area maintenance fee. In January 2003, we renegotiated a
three-year  lease with Eden Roc at a monthly rate of $9,295 plus a $1,859 common
area  maintenance  fee for the year 2003, with rate increases to $9,574 for 2004
and to  $9,861for  2005.  Pursuant  to the  lease,  we pay all real  estate  and
personal property taxes and the insurance costs on the premises.

         We believe that these facilities are adequate and satisfy our needs for
the foreseeable future.

Employees

         As of December 31, 2003,  we had 31  full-time  employees.  This number
does  not  include  our  manufacturer's   representatives  who  are  independent
contractors rather than our employees.  We also utilize several  consultants and
advisors.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in recruiting or
retaining key personnel. None of our employees are a member of a labor union and
we have never  experienced  any business  interruption  as a result of any labor
disputes.

         In  December  2001,  we  initiated  the  first  phase  of  a  corporate
downsizing program to reduce our operating  expenses.  We implemented the second
phase of our  downsizing  program in the second  quarter of 2002, by closing and
transferring our  manufacturing  from our site in San Diego,  California to Salt
Lake City, resulting in further reductions in operating expenses. As a result of
the downsizing  program and some  resignations,  the number of our employees has
been reduced by 77% from 112 to 26 employees.  The  estimated  cost savings from
the downsizing  program will be in excess of $2,000,000  annually.  The costs of
downsizing have included one-time  expenses of approximately  $43,000 for moving
and  travel.  In  addition,   we  incurred   additional   one-time  expenses  of
approximately  $18,000 for housing  accommodations  for key employees working in
Salt Lake City. We realized a net cost savings from downsizing of  approximately
$2,394,000 during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2002.

Legal Proceedings

         An action was  brought  against us in March 2000 by George  Wiseman,  a
former employee, in the Third District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah.
The complaint  alleges that we owe Mr.  Wiseman 6,370 shares of our common stock
plus costs, attorney's fees and a wage penalty (equal to 1,960 additional shares
of our common stock) pursuant to Utah law. The action is based upon an extension
of a written  employment  agreement.  We dispute the amount  allegedly  owed and
intend to vigorously defend against the action.

         An action was brought against us on March 7, 2000 in the Third District
Court of Salt  Lake  County,  State of Utah,  by the  Merrill  Corporation  that
alleges that we owe the Merrill Corporation  approximately $20,000 together with
interest  thereon at the rate of 10% per annum from August 30, 1999,  plus costs
and  attorney's  fees.  The complaint  alleges a breach of contract  relative to
printing services. We filed an answer to the complaint.  On August 12, 2003, the
court dismissed the action without prejudice.

         An action was  brought  against us on  September  11,  2000 by PhotoMed
International,  Inc. and Daniel M. Eichenbaum,  M.D. in the Third District Court
of Salt Lake County,  State of Utah. The action  involves an amount of royalties
that  are  allegedly  due and  owing to  PhotoMed  International,  Inc.  and Dr.
Eichenbaum  under a license  agreement  dated July 7, 1993,  with respect to the
sale of certain equipment,  plus costs and attorneys' fees.  Discovery has taken
place and we have paid  royalties  of $14,736 to bring all  payments  up to date
through June 30, 2001. We have been working with PhotoMed and Dr.  Eichenbaum to
ensure that the  calculations  have been correctly made on the royalties paid as
well as the proper method of calculation for the future.

         It is  anticipated  that  once the  parties  can  agree on the  correct
calculations on the royalties,  the legal action will be dismissed. The issue in
dispute  concerning  the method of  calculating  royalties is whether  royalties
should be paid on returned  equipment.  Since July 1, 2001,  only one Photon(TM)

                                       51


laser  system  has been  sold and no  systems  returned.  Thus,  the  amount  of
royalties due, according to our calculations, is $600. We intend to make payment
of this  amount to PhotoMed  and Dr.  Eichenbaum  and, as a result,  to have the
legal action dismissed.  However, if the parties are unable to agree on a method
for  calculating  royalties,  there is a risk that  PhotoMed and Dr.  Eichenbaum
might amend their complaint to request termination of the license agreement and,
if successful,  we would lose our right to  manufacture  and sell the Photon(TM)
laser system.

         We received a demand letter dated December 9, 2002 from counsel for Dan
Blacklock,  dba Danlin Corp. The letter demands payment in the amount of $65,160
for manufacturing and supplying parts for microkeratome blades. Our records show
that we received  approximately $34,824 in parts from the Danlin Corp., but that
the  additional  amounts that the Danlin Corp  contends are owed were from parts
that were  received but rejected by us because they had never been  ordered.  On
August  14,  2003,  we agreed  to make a $13,650  payment  to  Danlin  Corp.  in
settlement  of the  dispute.  We have since made the  $13,650  payment to Danlin
Corp.

         We received a demand  letter  dated  December 30, 2002 from counsel for
Thomas F. Motter,  our former Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer.  Mr. Motter
claims in the letter that he was entitled to certain  stock options that had not
been issued to him in a timely  manner.  By the time the options  were  actually
issued to him,  however,  they had  expired.  Mr.  Motter  contends  that if the
options had been issued in a timely  manner,  he would have  exercised them in a
manner that would have given him a  substantial  benefit.  Mr.  Motter  requests
restitution  for the loss of the financial  opportunity.  Mr. Motter also claims
that he was defrauded by us by not being given an extended employment  agreement
when he terminated the change of control agreement that he had entered into with
us.

         Mr. Motter is further claiming payment for accrued vacation time during
the 13 years he had been employed by the Company,  asserting  that he only had a
total of four weeks of  vacation  during that  period.  Finally,  Mr.  Motter is
threatening a shareholder  derivative  action against us because of the board of
directors'  alleged failure to conduct an investigation  into conversations that
took place in a chat room on Yahoo. Mr. Motter asserts that certain  individuals
participating  in  the  conversations  were  our  officers  or  directors  whose
interests  were in conflict  with the interest of the  shareholders.  We believe
that Mr.  Motter's  claims  and  assertions  are  without  merit  and  intend to
vigorously defend against any legal action that Mr. Motter may bring.

         On January 24, 2003, an action was brought by Dr. John Charles Casebeer
against us in the Montana Second  Judicial  District  Court,  Silver Bow County,
State of Montana (Civil No.  DU-0326).  The complaint  alleges that Dr. Casebeer
entered into a personal services contract with us memorialized by a letter dated
April 20, 2002,  with it being  alleged that Dr.  Casebeer  fully  performed his
obligations. Dr. Casebeer asserts that he is entitled to $43,750 per quarter for
consultant time and as an incentive to be granted each quarter $5,000 in options
issued at the fair market value. An additional  purported  incentive was $50,000
in shares of stock  being  issued at the time a  formalized  contract  was to be
signed by the parties. In the letter it is provided that at its election, we may
pay the  consideration  in the form of stock  or cash  and that  stock  would be
issued within 30 days of the close of the quarter.  Prior to the litigation,  we
issued  43,684  shares to Dr.  Casebeer.  The  referenced  letter  provides that
termination  may be made by either  party upon  giving 90 days  written  notice.
Notice was given by us in early  November  2002. We recently filed its answer in
defense  of the  action.  Issues  include  whether  or not  Dr.  Casebeer  fully
performed as asserted. The case has been settled through the issuance of 300,000
additional shares of our common stock to Dr. Casebeer.

         On May 14, 2003, a complaint  was filed in the United  States  District
Court, District of Utah, captioned Richard Meyer,  individually and on behalf of
all others similarly suited v. Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc., Thomas Motter,
Mark  Miehle and John  Hemmer,  Case No.  2:03  CV00448TC.  The  complaint  also
indicates  that it is a  "Class  Action  Complaint  for  Violations  of  Federal
Securities  Law and  Plaintiffs  Demand a Trial by Jury." We have retained legal
counsel to review the  complaint,  which  appears to be focused on alleged false
and  misleading  statements  pertaining  to  the  Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and
concerning a purchase order from Valdespino Associates  Enterprises and Westland
Financial Corporation.

         More specifically,  the complaint alleges that we falsely stated in our
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  filings  and press  releases  that we had
received  authorization to use an insurance  reimbursement CPT code from the CPT
Code Research and Development  Division of the American  Medical  Association in
connection with the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM),  adding that the CPT code provides
for a  reimbursement  to doctors of $57.00 per patient for use of the Blood Flow

                                       52


Analyzer(TM).  The  complaint  also alleges  that on July 11, 2002,  we issued a
press  release  falsely  announcing  that we had received a purchase  order from
Valdespino  Associates  Enterprises and Westland  Financial  Corporation for 200
sets of our entire  portfolio  of  products,  with $70  million in systems to be
delivered  over a two-year  period,  then  another  $35  million of orders to be
completed  in the third year.  As a result of these  statements,  the  complaint
contends that the price of our shares of common stock was artificially  inflated
during the period from April 25, 2001 through May 14, 2003,  and the persons who
purchased our common shares during that period suffered substantial damages. The
complaint requests judgment for unspecified damages,  together with interest and
attorney's fees.

         We dispute having issued false and misleading statements concerning the
Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and  a  purchase  order  from  Valdespino  Associates
Enterprises and Westland Financial  Corporation.  On April 25, 2001, we issued a
press release that stated we had received  authorization to use common procedure
terminology or CPT code number 92120 for our Blood Flow Analyzer(TM). This press
release was based on a letter we received  from the CPT  Editorial  Research and
Development  Department of the American Medical  Association  authorizing use of
common  procedure  terminology  or CPT code  number  92120  for our  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM), for reimbursement purposes for doctors using the device.

         Currently,  there is reimbursement by insurance payors to doctors using
the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM) in 22 states and partial reimbursement in four other
states. The amount of reimbursement to doctors using the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM)
generally ranges from $56.00 to $76.00 per patient, depending upon the insurance
payor. Insurance payors providing  reimbursement for the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM)
have the  discretion to increase or reduce the amount of  reimbursement.  We are
endeavoring to obtain  reimbursement  by insurance  payors in other states where
there is currently no reimbursement  being made. We believe we have continued to
correctly  represent in our Securities and Exchange  Commission  filings that we
have  received  authorization  from the CPT Editorial  Research and  Development
Department of the American Medical  Association to use CPT code number 92120 for
our Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM),  for reimbursement  purposes for doctors using the
device.

         On July 11, 2002,  we issued a press  release that stated we received a
purchase order from Valdespino  Associates  Enterprises  and Westland  Financial
Corporation for 200 complete sets of our entire product  portfolio of diagnostic
and surgical equipment for Mexican ophthalmic practitioners, to be followed by a
second order of 100 sets of equipment. The press release was based on a purchase
order  dated  July  10,  2002  that we  entered  into  with  Westland  Financial
Corporation  for the sale of 200 complete  sets of our  surgical and  diagnostic
equipment to Mexican  ophthalmic  practitioners.  The press  release also stated
that the initial  order was for $70 million of our equipment to be filled over a
two-year  period  followed by the second order of $35 million in equipment to be
completed in the third year.  The press  release  further  stated that  delivery
would be made in traunches of 25 complete sets of our equipment, beginning in 30
days from the date of the purchase order.

         On September  13, 2002,  the board of directors  issued a press release
updating   the  status  of  our  product   sales  to  the   Mexican   ophthalmic
practitioners.  In that  press  release  the  board  stated  that we had been in
discussions for the prior nine months with Westland Financial Corporation, aimed
at supplying our medical device products to the Mexican market.  In the past, we
have had a business  relationship with Westland  Financial.  Upon investigation,
the board of directors had determined that the purchase order  referenced in the
July 11, 2002 press  release was not of such a nature as to be  enforceable  for
the purpose of sales or revenue  recognition.  In addition,  we had not sent any
shipment of medical products to Mexican  ophthalmic  practitioners  nor received
payment for those products pursuant to those discussions. The September 13, 2002
press  release  also stated  that  discussions  were  continuing  with  Westland
Financial  Corporation  regarding sales and marketing activities for our medical
device products in Mexico, but we could not, at the time, predict or provide any
assurance that any transactions would result.

         On June 2, 2003, a complaint  was filed in the United  States  District
Court captioned  Michael Marrone v. Paradigm Medical  Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas
Motter, Mark Miehle and John Hemmer, Case No. 2:03 CV00513 PGC. On or about June
11,  2003,  a  complaint  was filed in the same  United  States  District  Court
captioned  Milian v. Paradigm  Medical  Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas Motter,  Mark
Miehle and John Hemmer,  Case No. 2:03  CV00617PGC.  Both  complaints seek class
action  status.  These  cases are  substantially  similar in nature to the Meyer
case,  including the contention that as a result of allegedly  false  statements
regarding the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and the purchase  order from  Valdespino
Associates  Enterprises  and Westland  Financial  Corporation,  the price of our
common stock was artificially  inflated and the persons who purchased our common
shares during the class period suffered  substantial  damages. The cases request
judgment for unspecified  damages,  together with interest and attorneys'  fees.
These cases have now been consolidated with the Meyer case into a single action.
We believe the  consolidated  cases are without  merit and intend to  vigorously
defend and protect our interests in the said cases.

         We  were  issued  a  Directors  and  Officers   Liability  and  Company
Reimbursement Policy by United States Fire Insurance Company for the period from
July 10, 2002 to July 10, 2003 that  contains a $5,000,000  limit of  liability,

                                       53


which is excess of a $250,000 retention. The officers and directors named in the
consolidated  cases have  requested  coverage  under the  policy.  U.S.  Fire is
currently  investigating  whether it may have a right to deny  coverage  for the
consolidated  cases based upon policy  terms,  conditions  and  exclusions or to
rescind the policy based upon  misrepresentations  contained in our  application
for insurance.

         We have not paid any  amounts  toward  satisfaction  of any part of the
$250,000 retention that is applicable to the consolidated cases. We have advised
U.S. Fire that we cannot pay the $250,000 retention due to our current financial
circumstances.  As a  consequence,  on  January  8,  2004,  we  entered  into  a
non-waiver  agreement  with  U.S.  Fire in which  U.S.  Fire  agreed to fund and
advance our retention  obligation in  consideration  for which we have agreed to
reimburse U.S. Fire the sum of $5,000 a month, for a period of six months,  with
the first of such payments due on February 15, 2004.  Thereafter,  commencing on
August 15, 2004,  we are  currently  required to reimburse  U.S. Fire the sum of
$10,000 per month until the entire  amount of $250,000  has been  reimbursed  to
U.S. Fire.

         In the event U.S. Fire  determines  that we or the former  officers and
directors named in the consolidated cases are not entitled to coverage under the
policy,  or that it is entitled to rescind the policy,  or should we be declared
in default under the  non-waiver  agreement,  then we agree to pay U.S. Fire, on
demand,  the full amount of all costs  advanced by U.S.  Fire,  except for those
amounts  that we may  have  reimbursed  to U.S.  Fire  pursuant  to the  monthly
payments due under the non-waiver agreement.

         We will be in default under the non-waiver agreement if we fail to make
any payment due to U.S. Fire  thereunder  when such payment is due, or institute
proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent.  U.S. Fire's  obligation
to advance  defense costs under the agreement  will  terminate in the event that
the  $5,000,000  policy  limit of liability is  exhausted.  If U.S.  Fire denies
coverage for the  consolidated  cases under the policy and we are not successful
in defending and protecting our interests in the cases,  resulting in a judgment
against us for substantial  damages,  we would not be able to pay such liability
and, as a result, would be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

         On July 10,  2003,  an action was filed in the United  States  District
Court,  District  of Utah,  by  Innovative  Optics,  Inc.  and  Barton  Dietrich
Investments,  L.P.  Defendants  include us, Thomas Motter,  Mark Miehle and John
Hemmer, former officers of the company. The complaint claims that Innovative and
Barton entered into an asset purchase  agreement with us on January 31, 2002, in
which we agreed to purchase all the assets of  Innovative in  consideration  for
the issuance of 1,310,000  shares of the Company's  common stock to  Innovative.
The complaint  claims we breached the asset  purchase  agreement.  The complaint
also claims that we allegedly made false and misleading statements pertaining to
the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and  concerning a purchase  order from  Valdespino
Associates Enterprises and Westland Financial Corporation.  The purpose of these
statements,  according to the  complaint,  was to induce  Innovative to sell its
assets and  purchase  the shares of our common  stock at  artificially  inflated
prices while simultaneously  deceiving Innovative and Barton into believing that
the  Company's  shares were worth more than they  actually  were.  The complaint
contends that had Innovative and Barton known the truth they would not have sold
Innovative  to us,  would  not  have  purchased  our  stock  for the  assets  of
Innovative,  or would not have  purchased the stock at the inflated  prices that
were paid. The complaint further contends that as a result of the allegely false
statements,  Innovative and Barton suffered  substantial damages in an amount to
be proven at trial.

         The  complaint  also claims that  491,250 of the shares to be issued to
Innovative in the asset purchase  transaction  were not issued on a timely basis
and we also did not  file a  registration  statement  with  the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission within five months of the closing date of the asset purchase
transaction.  As a result, the complaint alleges that the value of the shares of
our  common  stock  issued  to  Innovative  in  the  transaction  declined,  and
Innovative and Barton  suffered  damages in an amount to be proven at trial.  We
filed an answer to the complaint and also filed counterclaims against Innovative
and Barton for breach of contract. We believe the complaint is without merit and
intend to vigorously  defend and protect our interests in the action.  If we are
not  successful  in  defending  and  protecting  our  interests  in this action,
resulting in a judgment against us for substantial damages, and U.S. Fire denies
coverage in the  litigation  under the  Directors  and  Officers  Liability  and
Company Reimbursement Policy, we would not be able to pay such liability and, as
a result, would be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

         On October 14, 2003, an action was filed in the Third Judicial District
Court,  Salt  Lake  County,  State of Utah,  captioned  Albert  Kinzinger,  Jr.,
individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated vs. Paradigm Medical
Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas  Motter,  Mark Miehle,  Randall A.  Mackey,  and John
Hemmer,  Case No.  030922608.  The complaint  also indicates that it is a "Class
Action Complaint for Violations of Utah Securities Laws and Plaintiffs  Demand a
Trial by Jury." We have retained  legal counsel to review the  complaint,  which
appears to be focused on alleged  false or misleading  statements  pertaining to
the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM).  More  specifically,  the complaint alleges that we
falsely stated in Securities and Exchange  Commission filings and press releases
that we had received  authorization to use an insurance  reimbursement  CPT code
from the CPT Code  Research and  Development  Division of the  American  Medical
Association in connection with the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM),  adding that the CPT
code provides for a reimbursement to doctors of $57.00 per patient for the Blood
Flow Analyzer(TM).

                                       54


         The purpose of these  statements,  according to the  complaint,  was to
induce investors to purchase shares of our Series E preferred stock in a private
placement  transaction at artificially  inflated prices.  The complaint contends
that as a result of these statements, the investors that purchased shares of our
Series E preferred stock in the private offering suffered substantial damages to
be proven at trial.  The complaint  also alleges that we sold Series E preferred
shares  without  registering  the sale of such shares or  obtaining an exemption
from registration.  The complaint requests rescission,  compensatory damages and
treble damages,  including  interest and attorneys'  fees. We filed an answer to
the  complaint.  We  believe  the  complaint  is  without  merit  and  intend to
vigorously  defend our  interests  in the action.  If we are not  successful  in
defending and  protecting  our interests in the action,  resulting in a judgment
against  us for  substantial  damages,  and U.S.  Fire  denies  coverage  in the
litigation under the Directors and Officers Liability and Company  Reimbursement
Policy,  we would not be able to pay such liability  and, as a result,  would be
forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

         An action was filed on June 20, 2003,  in the Third  Judicial  District
Court, Salt Lake County,  State of Utah (Civil No. 030914195) by CitiCorp Vendor
Finance, Inc., formerly known as Copelco Capital, Inc. The complaint claims that
$49,626  plus  interest  is due for the leasing of two copy  machines  that were
delivered to our Salt Lake City facilities on or about April of 2000. The action
also seeks an award of attorney's fees and costs incurred in the collection.  We
dispute the amounts allegedly owed,  asserting that the equipment we returned to
the leasing  company did not work  properly.  A responsive  pleading has not yet
been filed. We are currently engaged in settlement discussions with CitiCorp.

         An action was filed in June, 2003 in the Third Judicial District Court,
Salt Lake County, State of Utah (Civil No. 030914719) by Franklin Funding,  Inc.
in which it alleges that we had entered into a lease  agreement for the lease of
certain  equipment for which payment is due. It is claimed that there is due and
owing  approximately  $89,988 after accruing late fees,  interest,  repossession
costs,  collection costs and attorneys' fees. On August 28, 2003, we agreed to a
settlement  of the case with  Franklin  Funding by  agreeing  to make 24 monthly
payments of $2,300 to Franklin  Funding,  with the first monthly  payment due on
August 29, 2003.

         We received demand letters dated July 18, 2003,  September 26, 2003 and
November 10, 2003 from counsel for Douglas A. MacLeod,  M.D., a  shareholder  of
the  company.  In the July 18, 2003  letter,  Dr.  MacLeod  demands  that he and
certain  entities  with which he is involved or controls,  namely the Douglas A.
MacLeod, M.D. Profit Sharing Trust, St. Marks' Eye Institute and Milan Holdings,
Ltd., be issued a total of 2,296,667  shares of our common stock and warrants to
purchase  1,192,500  shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.25 per
share. Dr. MacLeod claims that these common shares and warrants are owing to him
and the related  entities  under the terms of a mutual release dated January 16,
2003,  which he and the  related  entities  entered  into with us.  Dr.  MacLeod
renewed his  request  for these  additional  common  shares and  warrants in the
September  26, 2003 and  November 10, 2003 demand  letters.  We believe that Dr.
MacLeod's  claims and  assertions  are without merit and that neither he nor the
related  entities are entitled to any  additional  shares of our common stock or
any  additional  warrants  under the terms of the mutual  release.  We intend to
vigorously defend against any legal action that Dr. MacLeod may bring.

         On August 3, 2003, a complaint was filed against us by Corinne  Powell,
a former employee, in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State
of Utah (Civil No. 030918364).  Defendants consist of the Company and Randall A.
Mackey, Dr. David M. Silver and Keith D. Ignotz,  directors of the company.  The
complaint alleges that at the time we laid off Ms. Powell on March 25, 2003, she
was owed  $2,030 for  business  expenses,  $11,063 for  accrued  vacation  days,
$12,818 for unpaid  commissions,  the fair market value of 50,000 stock  options
exercisable  at  $5.00  per  share  that  she  claims  she  was  prevented  from
exercising,  attorney's  fees and a continuing  wage penalty  under Utah law. We
dispute the amounts  allegedly owed and intend to vigorously  defend and protect
our interests in the action.

         On September 10, 2003, an action was filed against us by Larry Hicks in
the Third Judicial District Court,  Salt Lake County,  State of Utah, (Civil No.
030922220), for payments due under a consulting agreement with us. The complaint
claims that monthly payments of $3,083 are due for the months of October 2002 to
October 2003 under a consulting  agreement  and, if the agreement is terminated,
for the sum of  $110,000  minus  whatever  we have paid Mr.  Hicks prior to such
termination,  plus costs,  attorney's  fees and a wage penalty  pursuant to Utah
law.  We dispute  the amount  allegedly  owed and  intend to  vigorously  defend
against such action.

Director Compensation

         On July 11, 2003,  Messrs.  Randall A. Mackey,  Dr. David M. Silver and
Keith D. Ignotz, directors of our company, were each granted options to purchase
125,000  shares of our common stock at an exercise  price of $.25 per share.  In
addition,  outside directors are also reimbursed for their expenses in attending
board and committee meetings. Directors are not precluded from serving us in any
other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. The options were not issued
at a discount to the then market price.

Employee 401(k) Plan

         In October  1996,  our board of directors  adopted a 401(k)  Retirement
Savings  Plan.  Under the terms of the 401(k) plan,  effective as of November 1,
1996, we may make discretionary employer matching contributions to our employees
who choose to  participate  in the plan.  The plan allows the board to determine
the amount of the  contribution at the beginning of each year. The Board adopted
a contribution  formula  specifying that such  discretionary  employer  matching
contributions would equal 100% of the participating  employee's  contribution to
the  plan  up  to a  maximum  discretionary  employee  contribution  of  3% of a
participating employee's  compensation,  as defined by the plan. All persons who
have  completed  at least six months'  service  with us and  satisfy  other plan
requirements are eligible to participate in the plan.

1995 Stock Option Plan

         We adopted a 1995  Stock  Option  Plan,  for the  officers,  employees,
directors  and  consultants  of our  company  on  November  7,  1995.  The  plan
authorized  the  granting of stock  options to purchase an aggregate of not more
than 300,000  shares of our common  stock.  On February  16,  1996,  options for
substantially all 300,000 shares were granted. On June 9, 1997, our shareholders
approved an  amendment  to the plan to  increase  the number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 300,000 shares to 600,000 shares. On
September  3,  1998,  our  shareholders  approved  an  amendment  to the plan to
increase the number of shares of common stock  reserved for issuance  thereunder
from 600,000 shares to 1,200,000  shares. On November 29, 2000, our shareholders
approved an  amendment  to the plan to  increase  the number of shares of common
stock  reserved  for  issuance  thereunder  from  1,200,000  shares to 1,700,000
shares.  On September 11, 2001,  our  shareholders  approved an amendment to the
1995 plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance
thereunder  from  1,700,000  shares to 2,700,000  shares.  On June 13, 2003, our
shareholders  approved an amendment to the plan to increase the member of shares
of common stock  reserved  for  issuance  thereunder  from  2,700,000  shares to
3,700,000 shares.

                                       60


         The compensation  committee  administers the 1995 Stock Option Plan. In
general, the compensation  committee will select the person to whom options will
be granted  and will  determine,  subject to the terms of the plan,  the number,
exercise,  and other provisions of such options.  Options granted under the plan
will become  exercisable at such times as may be determined by the  compensation
committee. Options granted under the plan may be either incentive stock options,
as such term is defined in the Internal  Revenue  Code, or  non-incentive  stock
options.  Incentive  stock  options  may only be granted to persons  who are our
employees.  Non-incentive stock options may be granted to any person, including,
but not  limited  to, our  employees,  independent  agents,  consultants  as the
compensation  committee  believes has contributed,  or will  contribute,  to our
success  as  the  compensation  committee  believes  has  contributed,  or  will
contribute,  to our success. The compensation  committee determines the exercise
price of options granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan, provided that, in the
case of incentive  stock options,  such price is not less than 100% (110% in the
case of incentive stock options granted to holders of 10% of voting power of our
stock) of the fair market  value (as defined in the plan) of the common stock on
the date of grant.  The aggregate  fair market value  (determined at the time of
option  grant) of stock with respect to which  incentive  stock  options  become
exercisable for the first time in any year cannot exceed $100,000.

         The term of each option shall not be more than ten years (five years in
the case of  incentive  stock  options  granted  to holders of 10% of the voting
power of our stock) from the date of grant.  The Board of Directors  has a right
to amend, suspend or terminate the 1995 Stock Option Plan at any time; provided,
however, that unless ratified by our shareholders, no amendment or change in the
plan will be effective  that would  increase the total number of shares that may
be issued under the plan,  materially  increase the benefits accruing to persons
granted under the plan or materially  modify the  requirements as to eligibility
and  participation in the plan. No amendment,  supervision or termination of the
plan  shall,  without  the  consent  of an  employee  to  whom an  option  shall
heretofore  have been  granted,  affect the rights of such  employee  under such
option.

Employment Agreements

         We entered into an employment  agreement  with Thomas F. Motter,  which
commenced on January 1, 1998 and expires on December 31,  2002.  The  employment
agreement requires Mr. Motter to devote substantially all of his working time as
our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, provided that he may be terminated for
"cause" (as provided in the agreements) and prohibits him from competing with us
for two  years  following  the  termination  of his  employment  agreement.  The
employment  agreement  provides  for the  payment of an initial  base  salary of
$135,000,  effective  as of January  1,  1998.  The  employment  agreement  also
provides  for  salary  increases  and  bonuses  as  shall be  determined  at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. Effective as of October 1, 1999, the Board
of  Directors  approved  an  increase  in Mr.  Motter's  annual  base  salary to
$160,000,  and effective as of July 1, 2000,  the board  approved an increase in
his annual base salary to $200,000,  which  remained in effect during 2002.  Mr.
Motter resigned as Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer on August 30, 2002. He
continued  to receive  his salary  under the terms of the  employment  agreement
through December 16, 2002.

         We entered into an  employment  agreement  with Mark R.  Miehle,  which
commenced  on June 5, 2000,  and was to expire on June 4, 2003.  The  employment
agreement required Mr. Miehle to devote substantially all of his working time as
our President and Chief  Operating  Officer,  provided that he may be terminated
for "cause" (as provided in the  agreement)  and  prohibited  him from competing
with us for two years following the termination of his employment agreement. The
employment  agreement  provided for the payment of an initial annual base salary
of $150,000,  effective as of June 5, 2000, and the issuance of stock options to
purchase  150,000 shares of our common stock at $6.00 per share, to be vested in
equal annual  amounts over a three year period.  The  employment  agreement also
provided for salary  increases and bonuses as to be determined at the discretion
of the Board of  Directors.  The stated annual  compensation  remained in effect
through  December 31, 2001 and into 2002. The Board of Directors  terminated the
employment  agreement  with Mr. Miehle on August 30, 2002. He entered into a six
month consulting  agreement,  which expired on February 28, 2003, for $5,000 per
month.  Mr.  Miehle was paid  $15,000 in 2002 under the terms of the  consulting
agreement.

         We entered into an employment  agreement  with Jeffrey F. Poore,  which
commenced  on March 19,  2003 and  expires  on March 19,  2006.  The  employment
agreement requires Mr. Poore to devote  substantially all of his working time as
our President and Chief  Executive  Officer,  provided that he may be terminated
for "cause" (as provided in the  agreements)  and prohibits  him from  competing
with us for two years following the termination of his employment agreement. The
employment  agreement  provides  for the  payment of an initial  base  salary of
$175,000, effective as of March 19, 2003. The employment agreement also provides
for salary increases and bonuses as shall be determined at the discretion of the
Board of Directors.  The employment  agreement further provides for the issuance
of stock  options to purchase  1,000,000  shares of our common stock at $.16 per
share, of which options to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock shall vest on
March 19, 2003,  options for an additional  100,000 shares of common stock shall
vest on March 19, 2004,  and options for an additional  100,000 shares of common

Severance Agreement

         On August 30, 2002,  the Board of Directors  terminated  the employment
agreement  with Mark R. Miehle who had been serving as our  President  and Chief
Operating Officer. Under the terms of the termination of Mr. Miehle's employment
agreement, the stock options issued to him on April 19, 2000 to purchase 150,000
shares of our common stock at $6.00 per share, on September 11, 2001 to purchase
110,000  shares of our common stock at $2.75 per share,  and on January 28, 2002
to  purchase  55,000  shares of our  common  stock at $2.75 per share were fully
vested as of the date of such  termination  and continue to be exercisable for a
period of one year following the termination of a consulting agreement, at which
time such options would expire.

         The  termination of the employment  agreement also required us to enter
into a consulting  agreement with Mr. Miehle.  Under the terms of the consulting
agreement,  Mr. Miehle is to provide  consulting  services to us for a period of
six  months for a fee of $5,000 per month.  The  consulting  agreement  is to be
automatically  renewed for an additional six months at a fee of $3,000 per month
unless we deliver  written notice to Miehle at least 30 days prior to the end of
the  initial  six month term that we will not renew the  agreement.  We paid Mr.
Miehle a total of $15,000 under the consulting agreement for consulting services
during the months of  September,  October and November of 2002. We also provided
written  notice to Mr.  Miehle more than 30 days prior to the end of the initial
six month term of the  consulting  agreement of our  intention not to review the
agreement.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

         We  reincorporated  in  Delaware  in February  1996,  in part,  to take
advantage  of  certain  provisions  in  Delaware's  corporate  law  relating  to
limitations on liability of corporate  officers and  directors.  We believe that
the  reincorporation  into  Delaware,  the  provisions  of  its  Certificate  of
Incorporation and Bylaws and the separate  indemnification  agreements  outlined
below are  necessary to attract and retain  qualified  persons as directors  and
officers.  Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to
the maximum  extent  permitted by Delaware  law.  This  provision is intended to
allow our  directors  the  benefit  of  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law that
provides  that  directors of Delaware  corporations  may be relieved of monetary
liabilities  for breach of their  fiduciary  duties as  directors,  except under
certain  circumstances,  including  breach  of their  duty of  loyalty,  acts or
omissions  not in good faith or involving  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing
violation of law,  unlawful  payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases
or redemptions or any  transaction  from which the director  derived an improper
personal  benefit.  Our Bylaws provide that we shall  indemnify our officers and
directors to the fullest extent  provided by Delaware law. Our Bylaws  authorize
the use of  indemnification  agreements and we have entered into such agreements
with each of our directors and executive officers.

         There is pending  litigation  against Thomas F. Motter,  Mark R. Miehle
and  John  W.  Hemmer,   former  officers  of  the  company,  to  whom  we  have
indemnification  obligations.  The pending  litigation  consists of class action
complaints for alleged  violations of the federal  securities  laws filed in the
United  States  District  Court,  District  of Utah,  captioned  Richard  Meyer,
individually  and on behalf of others  similarly  situated v.  Paradigm  Medical
Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas  Motter,  Mark Miehle and John Hemmer,  Case No. 2:03
CV00448TC,  Michael Marrone v. Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc., Thomas Motter,
Mark Miehle, and John Hemmer,  Case No. 2:03 CV00513PGC,  and Milian v. Paradigm
Medical  Industries,  Inc., Thomas Motter, Mark Miehle and John Hemmer, Case No.
2:03 CV00617PGC. We have retained legal counsel to review the complaints,  which
appear to be focused on alleged false and  misleading  statements  pertaining to
the Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM)and  concerning  a purchase  order from  Valdespino
Associates Enterprises and Westland Financial Corporation.

         More  specifically,  each of the  complaints  alleges  that we  falsely
stated in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings and press releases that
we had received  authorization to use an insurance  reimbursement  CPT code from
the  CPT  Code  Research  and  Development  Division  of  the  American  Medical
Association in connection with the Blood Flow Analyzer(TM),  adding that the CPT
code  provides for a  reimbursement  to doctors of $57.00 per patient for use of
the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM).  The complaints also allege that on July 11, 2002,
we issued a press  release  falsely  announcing  that we had received a purchase
order from Valdespino Associates  Enterprises and Westland Financial Corporation
for 200 sets of our entire portfolio of products, with $70 million in systems to
be delivered  over a two-year  period,  then another $35 million of orders to be
completed in the third year.  As a result of these  statements,  the  complaints
contend that the price of our shares of common stock was  artificially  inflated


                                      62



during the period from April 25, 2001 through May 14, 2003,  and the persons who
purchased our common shares during that period suffered substantial damages. The
complaints request judgment for unspecified damages,  together with interest and
attorneys' fees. These three cases have been  consolidated into a single action.
If we are not  successful  in defending  and  protecting  our interests in these
cases, resulting in a judgment against us for substantial damages, and U.S. Fire
Insurance  Company denies coverage in the cases under the Directors and Officers
Liability  and  Company  Reimbursement  Policy,  we would not be able to pay the
indemnification obligations and, as a result, would be forced to seek bankruptcy
protection.

         There is also pending  litigation  against Messrs.  Motter,  Miehle and
Hemmer in an action filed in the United States District Court,  District of Utah
by Innovative  Optics,  Inc. The  complaint  claims that  Innovative  and Barton
entered into an asset  purchase  agreement with us on January 31, 2002, in which
we agreed to purchase  all the assets of  Innovative  in  consideration  for the
issuance of 1,310,000  shares of the Company's  common stock to Innovative.  The
complaint  also claims that we allegedly  made false and  misleading  statements
pertaining to the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM)  and concerning a purchase order from
Valdespino  Associates  Enterprises  and  Westland  Financial  Corporation.  The
purpose  of  these  statements,  according  to  the  complaint,  was  to  induce
Innovative  to sell its assets and  purchase  the shares of our common  stock at
artificially  inflated  prices while  simultaneously  deceiving  Innovative  and
Barton  into  believing  that the  Company's  shares  were  worth more than they
actually  were.  Had  Innovative  and  Barton  known the  truth,  the  complaint
contends,  they would not have sold  Innovative to us, would not have  purchased
our stock for the assets of Innovative, or would not have purchased the stock at
the inflated  prices that were paid.  The complaint  further  contends that as a
result of these statements,  Innovative and Barton suffered  substantial damages
in an amount to be proven at trial.

         The complaint further claims that 491,250 of the shares to be issued to
Innovative in the asset purchase  transaction  were not issued on a timely basis
and we also did not  file a  registration  statement  with  the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission within five months of the closing date of the asset purchase
transaction.  As a result, the complaint alleges that the value of the shares of
our  common  stock  issued  to  Innovative  in  the  transaction  declined,  and
Innovative and Barton  suffered  damages in an amount to be proven at trial.  We
filed an answer to the complaint and also filed counterclaims against Innovative
and Barton for breach of contract.  If we are not  successful  in defending  and
protecting our interests in this action,  resulting in a judgment against us for
substantial  damages,  and U.S.  Fire  denies  coverage  in the cases  under the
Directors and Officers Liability and Company  Reimbursement Policy, we would not
be able to pay the indemnification obligations and, as a result, would be forced
to seek bankruptcy protection.

         Finally,  there is also  pending  litigation  against  Messrs.  Motter,
Miehle and Hemmer and Randall A. Mackey, Chairman of the Board and Secretary, to
whom we have indemnification  obligations,  in a class action complaint filed in
the Third Judicial  District Court, Salt Lake County,  State of Utah,  captioned
Albert  Kinzinger,  Jr.,  individually  and on  behalf of all  others  similarly
situated vs. Paradigm  Medical  Industries,  Inc.,  Thomas Motter,  Mark Miehle,
Randall A. Mackey, and John Hemmer,  Case No. 030922608.  We have retained legal
counsel to review the complaint, which appears to be focused on alleged false or
misleading   statements   pertaining  to  the  Blood  Flow  Analyzer(TM).   More
specifically, the complaint alleges that we falsely stated in its Securities and
Exchange   Commission   filings  and  press   releases   that  it  had  received
authorization  to use an  insurance  reimbursement  CPT  code  from the CPT Code
Research  and  Development  Division  of the  American  Medical  Association  in
connection with the Blood Flow  Analyzer(TM),  adding that the CPT code provides
for a  reimbursement  to  doctors  of $57.00  per  patient  for the  Blood  Flow
Analyzer(TM).

         The purpose of these  statements,  according to the  complaint,  was to
induce investors to purchase shares of our Series E preferred stock in a private
placement  transaction at artificially  inflated prices.  The complaint contends
that as a result of these statements, the investors that purchased shares of our
Series E preferred stock in the private offering suffered substantial damages to
be proven at trial.  The complaint  also alleges that we sold Series E preferred
shares  without  registering  the sale of such shares or  obtaining an exemption
from registration.  The complaint requests rescission,  compensatory damages and
treble damages,  including  interest and attorneys'  fees. We filed an answer to
the  complaint.  If we are  not  successful  in  defending  and  protecting  our
interests  in the action,  resulting  in a judgment  against us for  substantial
damages,  and U.S.  Fire denies  coverage in this action under the Directors and
Officers Liability and Company Reimbursement Policy, we would not be able to pay
the  indemnification  obligations  and,  as a  result,  would be  forced to seek
bankruptcy protection.

         Except for these litigation matters,  there is no pending litigation or
proceedings  involving  a  director,  officer,  employee  or other  agent of our
company as to which  indemnification  is being  sought,  nor are we aware of any
threatened  litigation  that may  result in claims  for  indemnification  by any
director, officer, employee or other agent.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  such indemnification is
against  public policy as expressed in the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,
and is, therefore, unenforceable.

                                       63


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  requires  our
executive officers,  directors and persons who own more than 10% of any class of
our common stock to file initial  reports of ownership and reports of changes of
ownership of common stock. Such persons are also required to furnish us with all
Section  16(a)  reports  they file.  Based solely on our review of the copies of
such  reports   received  by  us  with  respect  to  fiscal  2003,   or  written
representations  from  certain  reporting  persons,  we believe  that all filing
requirements  applicable  to  its  directors,  officers  and  greater  than  10%
beneficial owners were complied with.


         SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

         The  following  table sets forth  certain  information  with respect to

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         The information set forth herein describes certain transactions between
us and certain affiliated parties. Future transactions, if any, will be approved
by a  majority  of the  disinterested  members  and  will  be on  terms  no less
favorable to us than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated parties.

         Thomas F. Motter,  our former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, leased his former residence to us for $2,500 per month. The primary use
of the  residential  property was for housing  accommodations  for our employees
living outside of Utah while they were working at our corporate  headquarters in
Salt Lake  City.  We paid  $14,000  in rent  during  2002.  This  agreement  was
terminated on January 31, 2003.

         We entered into a  consulting  agreement  with Mark R. Miehle,  the our
former  president  and  chief  operating  officer  for a  period  of six  months
commencing on September 3, 2002.  The agreement was renewable for additional six
month terms. We did not renew the contract upon its expiration.  We paid $15,000
under this agreement during 2002 and had an accrual of $5,000 as of December 31,
2002.

         Randall  A.  Mackey,  a  director  since  January  21,  2000,  and from
September  1995 to  September 3, 1998 and chairman of the board since August 30,
2002, is President and a shareholder of the law firm of Mackey Price & Thompson,
which  rendered  legal services in connection  with various  corporate  matters.
Legal fees and  expenses  paid to Mackey  Price & Thompson  for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, totaled $97,000 and $167,000, respectively. As
of December 31, 2003, we owed this firm $136,000,  which is included in accounts
payable.

                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         Our authorized  capital stock  consists of 80,000,000  shares of common
stock,  $.001 par value per share,  of which  25,509,868  shares were issued and
outstanding  as of  January  31,  2004,  and  5,000,000  shares of  undesignated
preferred  stock,  $.001 par value per share.  We have created  seven classes of
preferred  stock,  designated  as Series A preferred  stock,  Series B preferred
stock,  Series C convertible  preferred  stock,  Series D convertible  preferred
stock,  Series E convertible  preferred  stock,  Series F convertible  preferred
stock and Series G convertible  preferred  stock.  The following is a summary of
the material terms and  provisions of our capital stock and related  securities.
Because it is a summary,  it does not  include  all of the  information  that is
included in our  certificate of  incorporation.  The text of our  certificate of
incorporation,  which is attached as an exhibit to this registration  statement,
is incorporated into this section by reference.  Common Stock Voting Rights. The
holders of our common stock will have one vote per share and are not entitled to
vote  cumulatively for the election of directors.  Generally,  all matters to be
voted on by  stockholders  must be  approved  by a  majority  or, in the case of
election of  directors,  by  plurality of the votes cast at a meeting at which a
quorum is present  and voting  together as single  class,  subject to any voting
rights granted to the holders of any then outstanding preferred stock.

         Dividends.  Holders  of  common  stock  are  entitled  to  receive  any
dividends declared by our board of directors, subject to the preferential rights
of any  preferred  stock then  outstanding.  Dividends  consisting  of shares of
common stock may be paid to holders of shares of common stock.

         Other  Rights.  Upon our  liquidation,  dissolution  or winding up, the
holders of common stock are entitled preferential to share ratably in any assets
available for  distribution  to holders of shares of common stock. No holders of
shares  are  subject  to  redemption  or  have  preemptive  rights  to  purchase
additional shares of common stock.

Preferred Stock

         Our  certificate of  incorporation  provides that  5,000,000  shares of
preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board
of directors  is  authorized  to fix the voting  rights,  if any,  designations,
powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, applicable to

                                       66


the shares of each  series.  Our board of  directors  may,  without  stockholder
approval,  issue  preferred  stock  with  voting  and other  rights  that  could
adversely  affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common
stock and could have anti-takeover effects,  including preferred stock or rights
to acquire preferred stock in connection with implementing a stockholder  rights
plan.  The ability of our board of directors to issue  preferred  stock  without
stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying,  deferring or preventing
a change of control  with  respect to our  company  or the  removal of  existing
management.  As of August 30, 2003,  we have created and issued  shares of seven
classes of preferred stock.

Series A, B, C, D, E, F and G Preferred Stock.

         The Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of 500,000 shares of

shares of  Series C  Preferred  Stock,  1,140,000  shares of Series D  Preferred
Stock,  50,000  shares of Series E Preferred  Stock,  50,000  shares of Series F
Preferred Stock,  and 2,000,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock.  Each of the
shares of  preferred  stock are  convertible  into  shares of common  stock at a
different  conversion  price.  As of January  31,  2004,  there were  issued and
outstanding  5,627  shares of Series A Preferred  Stock  convertible  into 6,753
shares of our common stock; 8,986 shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible

Corporation Law.

         Indemnification   Agreements.  We  have  entered  into  indemnification
agreements  with our officers and  directors.  Such  indemnification  agreements
provide  that we will  indemnify  its officers and  directors  against  expenses

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         We are offering the shares on a "best  efforts"basis  directly  through
our  officers  and  directors,  who will not  receive any  commissions  or other
remuneration  of any  kind for  selling  shares  in this  offering,  other  than
reimbursement of offering expenses incurred by them. This offering will commence
promptly after the  effectiveness  of the  registration  statement of which this
prospectus is a part.  This  offering  will be made on a continuous  basis for a
period of 90 days.  This offering may be terminated by us earlier if we sell all
of the shares being offered or we decide to cease selling efforts.

         This offering is a self underwritten offering, which means that it does
not involve the  participation  of an underwriter to market,  distribute or sell
the shares offered under this  prospectus.  Consequently,  there may be less due
diligence performed in conjunction with this offering than would be performed in
an underwritten  offering. In an underwritten  offering, the underwriter and its
team of professional advisors, including attorneys,  accountants,  engineers and
other professionals, conduct a due diligence inquiry by reviewing a large volume
of documentary  materials in a company's files.  The materials  reviewed include
corporate documents,  financial statements and tax returns, engineering reports,
market studies and reports, copies of all patents, licenses and trademarks,  and
all material  contracts.  This due diligence  review is designed to bring to the
underwriter's attention all material facts concerning the company.  Because this
offering is self  underwritten and does not involve a due diligence review by an
underwriter,  there  is a  greater  risk  to  an  investor  of  this  prospectus
containing material errors and omissions.

         We may  sell  shares  from  time to  time  in one or more  transactions
directly by us or,  alternatively,  we may offer the shares  through  brokers or
sale agents, who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or fees. We
may enter into  agreements  with sales  agents to assist us in  identifying  and

                                       71


contacting  potential  investors.  Under these  agreements,  we may agree to pay
these  sales  agents  fees  based on a  percentage  (not  exceeding  10%) of the
aggregate  purchase  price of shares sold by us to the investors  identified and
contacted  by these sales  agents.  We may also agree in some cases to reimburse
these sales agents for out-of-pocket  expenses incurred in connection with their
engagement.  Any  broker,  dealer  or  sales  agent  that  participates  in  the
distribution  of shares may be deemed to be an  underwriter,  and any profits on
the sale of the  shares  by any such  broker,  dealer  or  sales  agent  and any
commissions and fees received by any such broker,  dealer or sales agents may be
deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933.

         The shares may not be offered or sold in certain  jurisdictions  unless
they are registered or otherwise  comply with the applicable  securities laws of
such jurisdictions by exemption,  qualification or otherwise.  We intend to sell
the shares only in the states in which this  offering  has been  qualified or an
exemption  from the  registration  requirements  is available,  and purchases of
shares may be made only in those states.  To comply with the securities  laws of
certain jurisdictions,  as applicable,  the shares may be required to be offered
and sold only  through  registered  or  licensed  brokers  or  dealers.  If such
registered or licensed brokers or dealers are engaged,  the total commission and
fees paid to such brokers and dealers in connection with the sale of shares will
not exceed 10% of the selling price of the shares.

         In connection with their selling efforts in the offering,  our officers
and directors will not register as broker-dealers  pursuant to Section 15 of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  but rather will rely upon the "safe  harbor"
provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. Generally speaking,  Rule 3a4-1
provides an exemption from the  broker-dealer  registration  requirements of the
Exchange  Act for  persons  associated  with an issuer  that  participate  in an
offering of the issuer's securities.  The conditions to obtaining this exemption
include the following:

         o    None  of  the   selling   persons   are  subject  to  a  statutory
              disqualification,  as that term is defined in Section  3(a)(39) of
              the Exchange Act, at the time of participation;

         o    None of the selling persons are compensated in connection with his
              or her  participation  by the  payment  of  commissions  or  other
              remuneration  based either  directly or indirectly on transactions
              in securities;

         o    None of the selling persons are, at the time of participation,  an
              associated person of a broker or dealer,  and o All of the selling
              persons meet the conditions of paragraph  (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1
              of the  Exchange  Act, in that they (A)  primarily  perform or are
              intending  primarily  to  perform  at the  end  of  the  offering,
              substantial  duties for or on behalf of the issuer  otherwise than
              in connection with  transactions in securities,  and (B) are not a
              broker or dealer,  or an associated  person of a broker or dealer,
              within the  preceding  12 months,  and (C) do not  participate  in
              selling an  offering of  securities  for any issuer more than once
              every 12 months other than in reliance on this rule.

         Our  officers  and  directors  may  have  assistants  who  may  provide
ministerial help, but their activities will be restricted to the following:

         o    Preparing    written    communications    and   delivering    such
              communications  through  the  mails or other  means  that does not
              involve oral solicitation of potential  purchasers,  provided that
              such written communications have been approved by us.

         o    Responding to inquiries of potential  purchasers in communications
              initiated by potential  purchasers,  provided  that the content of
              such  communications  is limited to  information  contained in our
              registration statement; or

         o    Performing   ministerial   and  clerical  work  in  effecting  any
              transaction.

         We have not  established  a  minimum  amount of  proceeds  that we must
receive in the offering  before any proceeds may be accepted.  We cannot  assure
you that all or any of the shares offered under this prospectus will be sold. No
one has committed to purchase any of the shares offered. We reserve the right to
withdraw,  cancel or modify this offer and to accept or reject any  subscription
in whole or in part,  for any  reason or for no  reason.  Subscriptions  will be
accepted or rejected  promptly.  All monies from rejected  subscriptions will be
returned  immediately by us to the subscriber,  without  interest or deductions.
Any accepted  subscriptions will be made on a rolling basis. Once accepted,  the
funds will be deposited  into an account  maintained  by us and  considered  our
general assets.  Subscription funds will not be placed into escrow, trust or any
other similar  arrangement.  There are no investor protections for the return of
subscription  funds once  accepted.  Certificates  for shares  purchased will be
issued and  distributed  by our transfer  agent within 10 business  days after a
subscription  is  accepted  and  "good  funds"  are  received  in  our  account.
Certificates  will be sent to the address supplied in the investor  subscription
agreement by certified mail.

                                       72


         Our officers,  directors,  existing  stockholders  and  affiliates  may
purchase  shares in this  offering and there is no limit to the number of shares
they may purchase.

         Our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934 and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. These rules impose
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell out securities
to persons other than established  customers and accredited investors (generally
institutions  with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals  with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding  $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouses).

         Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific  transactions from the scope of
the penny stock rules. Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful  broker/dealer  transactions
in penny stocks unless the  broker-dealer  has first  provided to the customer a
standardized  disclosure document. Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a
broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock  transaction  unless the  broker-dealer
first  discloses and  subsequently  confirms to the customer  current  quotation
prices or similar  market  information  concerning  the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for
a customer unless the  broker-dealer  first discloses to the customer the amount
of  compensation or other  remuneration  received as a result of the penny stock
transaction.  Rule 15g-5 requires that a  broker-dealer  executing a penny stock
transaction,  other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1,  disclose to its customer,
at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales person's
compensation. Rule 15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide
their  customers with monthly account  statements.  The application of the penny
stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.

         We do not plan to solicit Series G preferred stockholders regarding the
conversion of their Series G preferred shares into shares of common stock, which
have been registered for resale upon conversation.

         The resale of the common  stock by the Series G preferred  stockholders
that elect to convert  their  respective  shares of Series G preferred  stock to
shares of common stock and the holders of warrants that elect to exercise  their
respective  warrants  and  purchase  common  stock  (collectively,  the "Selling
Securityholders"),  may be effected from time to time in transactions (which may
include block transactions by or for the account of the Selling Securityholders)
in  the  Over-the-Counter  Bulletin  Board  or  in  negotiated  transactions,  a
combination  of such  methods of sale or  otherwise.  Sales may be made at fixed
prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or
at negotiated prices.

         Selling  Securityholders  may effect such transactions by selling their
shares of common stock directly to purchasers, through broker- dealers acting as
agents for the Selling  Securityholders  or to  broker-dealers  who may purchase
securities as principals and thereafter  sell the common stock from time to time
in the over-the-counter  market, in negotiated  transactions or otherwise.  Such
broker-dealers,  if any,  may  receive  compensation  in the form of  discounts,
concessions  or  commissions  from  the  Selling   Securityholders   and/or  the
purchasers for whom such  broker-dealers  act as agents or to whom they may sell
as principals or otherwise (which compensation as to a particular  broker-dealer
may exceed  customary  commissions).  The Selling  Securityholders  will pay all
commissions,  transfer  taxes,  and other expenses  associated  with the sale of
common stock by them.

         The  Selling  Securityholders  and  broker-dealers,  if any,  acting in
connection with such sales may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of Section 2(11) of the Securities  Act and any commission  received by them and
any  profit  on the  resale  of the  securities  by them  might be  deemed to be
underwriting  discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We have agreed
to indemnify the Selling  Securityholders  against certain liabilities under the
Securities Act.

         The only Selling  Securityholders  who are affiliates of broker-dealers
are Paul M.  Davis and Lyle W.  Davis.  Messrs.  Paul  Davis and Lyle Davis each
purchased  shares of common  stock and warrants to purchase  common  shares in a
private offering that was completed on June 30, 2003. The offering  involved the
sale of 845,266 shares of common stock to 14 accredited  investors at a price of
$.375 per share.  The investors were also issued warrants to purchase a total of
422,634  shares of common  stock at an exercise  price of $.75 per share.  At no
time has Messrs.  Paul Davis or Lyle Davis had any agreements or understandings,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of common stock
or warrants or the underlying  common shares to be issued in connection with the
exercise of such warrants.

                                       73


         From time to time this prospectus  will be supplemented  and amended as
required by the Securities  Act.  During any time when a supplement or amendment
is so  required,  the  Selling  Securityholders  are to cease  sales  until  the
prospectus has been supplemented or amended. Pursuant to the registration rights
granted to certain of the Selling Securityholders,  we have agreed to update and
maintain  the   effectiveness  of  this  prospectus.   Certain  of  the  Selling
Securityholders  also may be  entitled to sell their  shares  without the use of
this  prospectus,  provided that they comply with the  requirements  of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act.

         Our consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2002

         The  validity of the shares of common  stock in this  offering  will be
passed upon for us by Mackey Price & Thompson,  Salt Lake City, Utah. Randall A.
Mackey,  the  President,  a director and a shareholder of the law firm of Mackey
Price & Thompson  is our  Chairman  of the Board and  Secretary.  Legal fees and
expenses  paid to Mackey Price & Thompson for legal  services  during the fiscal
years  ended   December  31,  2003  and  2002  totaled   $97,000  and  $167,000,
respectively.  As of December 31,  2003,  we owed this firm  $136,000,  which is
included in the accounts payable.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to present
fairly the financial position of Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. (the Company)
as of September 30, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and its cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Liquidity and Going Concern
---------------------------

Due to the declining sales, significant recurring losses and cash used to fund
operating activities, the auditors' report for the year ended December 31, 2002
included an explanatory paragraph that expressed substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has taken significant steps
to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies. In addition, the Company is
attempting to obtain additional funding through the sale of its common stock.
Traditionally the Company has relied on financing from the sale of its common
and preferred stock to fund operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such
financing in the near future it may be required to reduce or cease its
operations.

Reclassifications
-----------------

Certain amounts in the financial statements for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the current
period financial statements.

Net loss Per Share
------------------

Net loss per common share is computed on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Common stock
equivalents consist of convertible preferred stock, common stock options and
warrants. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation when their
effect is anti-dilutive. Other common stock equivalents consisting of options
and warrants to purchase 5,704,000 and 5,051,000 shares of common stock and
preferred stock convertible into 2,384,000 and 437,000 shares of common stock at
September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, have not been included in loss
periods because they are anti-dilutive.

The shares used in the computation of the Company's basic and diluted earnings
per share are reconciled as follows:

                                       F-5


Preferred Stock Conversions
---------------------------

Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, holders of the Company's Class A
and Class B Preferred Stock have the right to convert such stock into shares of
the Company's common stock at the rate of 1.2 shares of common stock for each
share of preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, no
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and no shares of Series B Preferred Stock
were converted to the Company's Common Stock.

Holders of Series D Preferred have the right to convert such stock into shares
of the Company's common stock at the rate of 1 share of common stock for each
share of preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, no
shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted to the Company's Common stock.

Holders of Series E Preferred have the right to convert such stock into shares
of the Company's common stock at the rate of 53.3 shares of common stock for
each share of preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
no shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted to the Company's Common
stock.

share of preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, no
shares of Series G Preferred Stock were converted to shares of the Company's
Common stock.

Warrants
--------

The fair value of warrants granted as described herein is estimated at the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The exercise price per
share is reflective of the then current market value of the stock. No grant
exercise price was established at a discount to market. All warrants are fully
vested, exercisable and nonforfeitable as of the grant date. The Company granted
1,005,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock during the period
ended September 30, 2003. Of these warrants, 423,000 were issued in connection
with a private placement of the Company's common stock, 382,000 were issued in
connection with a private placement of the Company's Series G preferred stock,
and 200,000 warrants were issued for consulting services. The 200,000 warrants
issued for consulting services were valued at $35,000 using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. During the period ended September 30, 2002, the purchase
agreement between the Company and Innovative Optics included warrants to
purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share,
exercisable over a period of three years from the closing date. The Company
valued the warrants at approximately $295,000, which amount was included in the
purchase price.

Stock - Based Compensation
--------------------------

For stock options and warrants granted to employees, the Company employs the
footnote disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123 encourages
entities to adopt a fair-value based method of accounting for stock options or
similar equity instruments. However, it also allows an entity to continue
measuring compensation cost for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic-value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The
Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 and provide
pro forma footnote disclosures required by SFAS No. 123. No stock-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those
plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Stock options and warrants granted to non-employees for services are accounted
for in accordance with SFAS 123 which requires expense recognition based on the
fair value of the options/warrants granted. The Company calculates the fair
value of options and warrants granted by use of the Black-Scholes pricing model.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based
employee compensation.

The weighted average fair value of stock options and warrants granted to
non-employees for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was

months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company paid $7,500
during the third quarter of 2002 to a former officer and director of the Company
for the rental of a house where employees from out of town stayed instead of
incurring hotel expenses.

                                                    INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors of
Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc.


We have audited the balance  sheet of Paradigm  Medical  Industries,  Inc.  (the
Company) as of December  31, 2002,  and the related  statements  of  operations,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  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 financial  position of Paradigm Medical  Industries,
Inc. as of December 31,  2002,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows  for the years  ended  December  31,  2002 and 2001,  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company will  continue as a going  concern.  As discussed in note 2, the Company
has incurred  significant  losses, and has been unable to generate positive cash
flows from  operations.  These  conditions  raise  substantial  doubt  about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's  plans in regard
to these matters are also  described in note 2. The financial  statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                        manufacture,  and sale of high  technology  surgical and
                        diagnostic eye care products.  Its surgical equipment is
                        designed to perform minimally  invasive cataract surgery
                        and  is  comprised  of  surgical   devices  and  related
                        instruments  and   accessories,   including   disposable
                        products.  Its diagnostic products include a pachymeter,
                        an A-Scan, an A/B Scan, a biomicroscope,  a perimeter, a
                        corneal topographer, and a blood flow analyzer.

                        Cash Equivalents
                        For  purposes  of the  statement  of  cash  flows,  cash
                        includes  all  cash  and   investments   with   original
                        maturities to the Company of three months or less.

                        The Company  maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts
                        which, at times,  may exceed  federally  insured limits.
                        The  Company  has not  experienced  any  losses  in such
                        account   and   believes   it  is  not  exposed  to  any
                        significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

                        Inventories

                        of the lease.  Expenditures  for maintenance and repairs
                        are  expensed   when   incurred  and   betterments   are
                        capitalized.  Gains and losses on sale of  property  and
                        equipment are reflected in operations.

1.   Organization       Intangible Assets
     and Significant    As of December 31, 2002,  intangible assets consisted of
     Accounting         goodwill  related to the  purchase of Ocular Blood Flow,
     Policies           Ltd.,   product   rights,    capitalized   payments   to
     Continued          manufacturers  for  engineering  and design services and
                        patent costs.

                        Effective  January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No.
                        142,   "Goodwill  and  Other  Intangible   Assets."  The
                        adoption of SFAS No. 142 required an initial  impairment
                        assessment  involving a comparison  of the fair value of
                        goodwill and other intangible assets to current carrying
                        values.  The Company  performed such impairment tests on
                        its  intangible  assets as of January  1, 2002.  At that
                        date,  the  Company's  intangible  assets  consisted  of
                        product and  technology  rights with a net book value of
                        approximately  $297,000,  engineering  and design  costs
                        with a net book value of approximately $86,000,  patents
                        with a net book  value  of  approximately  $98,000,  and
                        purchase  price in excess  of net  assets  acquired  (or
                        goodwill)  with  a  net  book  value  of   approximately
                        $679,000.   The  Company's   initial   impairment   test
                        performed  on January 1, 2002,  consisted of a cash flow
                        analysis based on estimated future revenues and directly
                        related costs of products  directly  associated with the
                        intangible assets.  Based on such cash flow projections,
                        the  initial  impairment  test  did  not  result  in any
                        impairment  of the  intangible.  As disclosed in Note 3,
                        during 2002 the Company acquired the asset of Innovative
                        Optics,  Inc.  The  acquisition  originally  resulted in
                        goodwill   and   identifiable   intangible   assets   of
                        $1,949,000.  However,  due to the Company's inability to
                        cost  effectively  develop and  manufacture the products
                        acquired,  an  estimate  of future cash flows shows that
                        the assets acquired  including goodwill and identifiable
                        intangible  assets,  were  impaired as of  December  31,
                        2002.  Intangible  assets  determined to have indefinite
                        useful lives are not  amortized.  The Company tests such
                        intangible  assets  with  indefinite  useful  lives  for
                        impairment  annually  or more  frequently  if  events or
                        circumstances  indicate that an asset might be impaired.
                        Intangible  assets determined to have definite lives are
                        amortized  on a  straight-line  basis over their  useful
                        lives.  Product  rights  are being  amortized  over five
                        years,  capitalized  engineering  and  design  costs are
                        fully amortized as of December 31, 2002, and patents are
                        being  amortized  over the life of the patents  which is
                        ten  years.  We  review  such  intangible   assets  with
                        definite   lives  for  impairment  to  ensure  they  are
                        appropriately   valued  if  conditions  exist  that  may
                        indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such
                        conditions  may  include  an  economic   downturn  in  a
                        geographic  market  or a  change  in the  assessment  of
                        future operations. Goodwill is not amortized. We perform
                        tests  for  impairment  of  goodwill  annually  or  more
                        frequently if events or circumstances  indicate it might
                        be impaired. Such tests include comparing the fair value
                        of a reporting unit with its carrying  value,  including
                        goodwill.

                        Impairment  assessments are performed using a variety of
                        methodologies,   including   cash  flow   analysis   and
                        estimates  of  sales  proceeds.  Where  applicable,   an
                        appropriate   discount  rate  is  used,   based  on  the
                        Company's  cost of  capital  rate  or  location-specific
                        economic factors.

1.   Organization       Evaluation of Other Long-Lived Assets
     and Significant    The  Company   evaluates  the  carrying   value  of  the
     Accounting         unamortized  balances  of  other  long-lived  assets  to
     Policies           determine  whether any  impairment  of these  assets has
     Continued          occurred  or  whether   any   revision  to  the  related
                        amortization  periods should be made. This evaluation is
                        based on  management's  projections of the  undiscounted
                        future  cash  flows   associated  with  each  asset.  If
                        management's   evaluation  were  to  indicate  that  the
                        carrying  values of these  assets  were  impaired,  such
                        impairment  would be  recognized  by a write down of the
                        applicable asset.

                        Income Taxes
                        Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient
                        to  give  effect  to   temporary   differences   between
                        financial  and tax  reporting,  principally  related  to
                        depreciation,  impairment  of intangible  assets,  stock
                        compensation expense, and accrued liabilities.

                        Stock - Based Compensation
                        For stock options and warrants  granted to employees the
                        Company  employs the footnote  disclosure  provisions of
                        Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No.
                        123, Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation.  SFAS No.
                        123  encourages  entities  to adopt a  fair-value  based
                        method of accounting for stock options or similar equity
                        instruments.  However,  it  also  allows  an  entity  to

1.   Organization       Concentration of Risk - Continued
     and Significant    The Company's high technology  product line requires the
     Accounting         Company  to  deal  with  suppliers  and   subcontractors
     Policies           supplying  highly  specialized  parts,  operating highly
     Continued          sophisticated   and  narrow   tolerance   equipment  and
                        performing  highly  technical  calculations  and  tasks.
                        Although  there are a limited  number of  suppliers  and
                        manufacturers  that  meet the  standards  required  of a
                        regulated medical device, management believes that other
                        suppliers  and   manufacturers   could  provide  similar
                        components and services.

                        The nature of the Company's  business exposes it to risk
                        from product  liability  claims.  The Company  maintains
                        product liability  insurance providing coverage up to $2
                        million per claim with an  aggregate  policy limit of $2
                        million. Any losses that the Company may suffer from any
                        product  liability  litigation  could  have  a  material
                        adverse effect on the Company.

                        A significant  portion of the Company's product sales is
                        in  foreign   countries.   The  economic  and  political
                        instability  of some  foreign  countries  may affect the
                        ability of medical  personnel to purchase the  Company's
                        products and the ability of the customers to pay for the
                        procedures  for which the  Company's  products are used.
                        Such circumstances could cause a possible loss of sales,
                        which would affect operating results adversely.

                        additional capital and financing.  The Company currently
                        has a  private  equity  line of  credit  agreement  with
                        Triton  West Group,  Inc.,  (Triton),  which  allows the
                        Company to sell $20 million of common stock over a three
                        year   period  beginning  December  2000  to  Triton  by

                        approximately  $673,000  during  2001  (see  note 7). No

                        line of credit during 2002. Management is uncertain that
                        the  combination  of  existing  working  capital and the
                        private  equity  line of credit  will be  sufficient  to
                        assure continuation of the Company's  operations through
                        December 31, 2003.  In the past,  the Company has relied
                        heavily upon sales of its common and preferred  stock to
                        fund  operations.  There can be no  assurance  that such
                        equity  financing will be available on terms  acceptable
                        to the Company in the  future.  If the Company is unable
                        to obtain such  financing or secure debt  financing,  it
                        may be unable to continue  development  of its  products
                        and may be required to substantially curtail operations.

                        On January 31, 2002, the Company  completed the purchase
                        of   certain   assets   of   Innovative   Optics,   Inc.
                        ("Innovative  Optics"),  pursuant  to the  terms  of the
                        Asset  Purchase  Agreement (the  "Agreement")  which the
                        Company entered into on January 31, 2002 with Innovative
                        Optics  and  Barton  Dietrich  Investments,   L.P.,  the
                        majority  shareholder of Innovative  Optics.  Innovative
                        Optics  is  a  Georgia   domiciled   corporation   which
                        manufactures  and sells the  Innovatome(TM),  a software
                        driven microkeratome that provides ophthalmic surgeons a
                        means of cutting a corneal flap in  refractive  surgery,
                        and microkeratome blades.

3.   Acquisitions       As  consideration  for the purchase of certain assets of
     Continued          Innovative  Optics, the Company paid $100,000 and issued
                        an aggregate of  1,272,825  shares of its common  stock,
                        and warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's
                        common  stock at $5.00  per  share,  exercisable  over a
                        period of three years from the closing date. The Company
                        filed a  registration  statement with the Securities and
                        Exchange  Commission  to  register  the shares of common
                        stock for resale  that  Innovative  Optics  received  as
                        purchase  consideration  and the shares that  Innovative
                        Optics will receive  upon the exercise of the  warrants.
                        The  assets  purchased  included  but were not imited to
                        patents,  inventory,  work in process and finished goods
                        relating to the  Innovatome(TM),  a  microkeratome,  and
                        microkeratome  blades.  Of the  1,272,825  shares of the
                        Company's  common stock issued to  Innovative  Optics at
                        closing, one-half the number of these shares, or 636,412
                        shares,  were placed in an escrow account  maintained at
                        the law firm of Mackey Price & Thompson (the "Disbursing
                        Agent") pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement.

                        In  connection  with  this   acquisition,   the  Company
                        recorded the following:


                 Inventory                               $          225,000
                Property, plant and equipment                        35,000
                Intangibles:
                      Patents, rights, trade name                   530,000
                      Goodwill                                    1,419,000
                 Equity:
                      Common stock issued                        (1,814,000)
                      Warrants issued                              (295,000)
                                                         -------------------

                 Net cash paid                           $          100,000
                                                         -------------------

                        The  Company  was  required  to use its best  efforts to
                        implement,  within 90 days of the closing,  Phase I of a
                        Blade   Price   Reduction   Program  as  prepared  by  a
                        consultant.  Immediately  after such 90 day period,  the
                        Disbursing Agent was to distribute  three-fourths of the
                        shares held in escrow,  or 477,309 shares, to Innovative
                        Optics,  unless the  Company had  certified  that it had
                        implemented   Phase  I  of  the  Blade  Price  Reduction
                        Program.

                                                                       Continued

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3.   Acquisitions       Despite  best   efforts,   the  Company  was  unable  to
     Continued          manufacture microkeratome blades at a targeted materials
                        cost  per  blade.   If  the   Company   certified   that
                        implementation  of Phase I of the Blade Price  Reduction
                        Program  resulted in  materials  cost that  exceeded the
                        target  cost per  blade and such  certification  was not
                        disputed  by  Innovative  Optics,  the  number of escrow
                        shares disbursed to Innovative  Optics was to be reduced
                        by 300 shares for every cent that the materials cost per
                        blade  exceeded  the target  cost.  The  Company was not
                        successful  in  achieving  the  blade  price  reduction.
                        Innovative  Optics  requested  that the total  number of
                        shares associated with Phase I be issued to them stating
                        that the Company did not use its best efforts to achieve
                        the target  cost and that  proper  notification  was not
                        delivered to them.  In August 2002,  the Company  issued
                        477,309  shares  of  common  stock,  which  were held in
                        escrow to Innovative Optics.

                        The  shares  were  valued at  $630,000,  based  upon the
                        market  price  per  share  at the  date  of  issue.  The
                        transaction  amount was recorded as in process  research
                        and development costs and charged to expense.

                        The Company was also required to use its best efforts to
                        implement,  within six months after closing, Phase II of
                        the Blade Price  Reduction  Program.  Immediately  after
                        such six  month  period,  the  Disbursing  Agent  was to
                        disburse the  remaining  shares in escrow to  Innovative
                        Optics  unless  the  Company   certified   that  it  had
                        implemented  Phase  II  of  the  Blade  Price  Reduction
                        Program  and,  despite  best  efforts,   was  unable  to
                        manufacture  the   microkeratome   blades  at  a  second
                        targeted  materials cost or less per blade.  If Paradigm
                        certified that  implementation  of Phase II of the Blade
                        Price  Reduction  Program  resulted in a materials  cost
                        that  exceeded the second target cost per blade and such
                        certification was not disputed by Innovative Optics, the
                        number of escrow shares  disbursed to Innovative  Optics
                        was to be  reduced by 300 shares for every cent that the
                        materials  cost per blade  exceeded  the  second  target
                        cost.  If  Innovative   Optics  disputes  the  Company's
                        certification,   the   dispute   will  be   resolved  by
                        arbitration  by submitting  the matter for resolution to
                        the  accounting  firm of KPMG LLP.  The  Company did not
                        implement Phase II of the Blade Price Reduction  Project
                        due to the lack of success experienced in Phase I. Also,
                        the Company has not issued the remaining  shares,  which
                        remain in escrow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3.   Acquisitions       The Company determined that it could not manufacture the
     Continued          blades to support  its  customer  base at an  economical
                        cost. There are no blades in inventory at this time. The
                        Company  has  attempted  to sell the product and related
                        intangibles,   but  has  not  been  successful  in  such
                        efforts.  Accordingly,  due to  the  lack  of  projected
                        future cash flows,  during 2002 the Company  recorded an
                        impairment  expense of $2,082,000 for the remaining book
                        value of property and  equipment and  intangible  assets
                        purchased from Innovative Optics.

                        International Bioimmune Systems, Inc.
                        During 2002, the Company acquired  2,663,254,  or 19.9%,
                        of the  outstanding  shares of  International  Bioimmune
                        Systems,  Inc. (IBS) and warrants to purchase  1,200,000
                        shares of  common  stock of IBS at $2.50 per share for a
                        period of two years,  through the  exchange and issuance
                        of 736,945 shares of Paradigm common stock,  the lending
                        of 300,000  shares of Paradigm  common stock to IBS, and
                        the  payment  of certain  expenses  of IBS  through  the
                        issuance of an  aggregate  of 94,000  shares of Paradigm
                        common stock to IBS and its counsel.

                        The  issuance of 736,945  and 94,000  shares were valued
                        based on the market price of Paradigm's  common stock on
                        the  date  of  the   transaction   and  resulted  in  an
                        investment  in IBS of $814,000,  which  combined  with a
                        cash  investment of $65,000 made in 2000,  resulted in a
                        total  investment of $879,000.  The 300,000  shares were
                        also valued at the market  price on the date of issuance
                        and were recorded as a stock subscription  receivable of
                        $294,000  because such shares will either be paid for or
                        returned in the future.

                        Due to the uncertainty of future cash flows and the fact
                        that the products have not been approved by the FDA, the
                        Company  determined  that the  likelihood of recovery of
                        its  investment  was remote and  recorded an  impairment
                        expense for the investment of $879,000.

9.   Income             At December 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss
     Taxes              carryforwards of approximately  $41,000,000 and research
     Continued          and    development   tax   credit    carryforwards    of
                        approximately $34,000. These carryforwards are available
                        to  offset  future  taxable  income  and  expire in 2003
                        through 2020. The  utilization of the net operating loss
                        carryforwards  is dependent  upon the tax laws in effect
                        at the time the net operating loss  carryforwards can be
                        utilized.  The  Tax  Reform  Act of  1986  significantly
                        limits  the  annual  amount  that  can be  utilized  for
                        certain of these carryforwards as a result of the change
                        in ownership.


10.  Capital            The Company has  established a series of preferred stock
     Stock              with a total of  5,000,000  authorized  shares and a par
                        value of $.001,  and one  series of common  stock with a
                        par value of $.001 and a total of 40,000,000  authorized
                        shares.

                        Series A Preferred Stock
                        On September 1, 1993,  the Company  established a series
                        of  non-voting  preferred  shares  designated  as the 6%
                        Series A Preferred  Stock,  consisting of 500,000 shares
                        with $.001 par value.  The Series A Preferred  Stock has
                        the following rights and privileges:

                        1.    The   holders  of  the  shares  are   entitled  to
                              dividends at the rate of twenty-four  cents ($.24)
                              per share  per  annum,  payable  in cash only from
                              surplus  earnings of the Company or in  additional
                              shares of Series A Preferred  Stock. The dividends
                              are non-cumulative  and therefore  deficiencies in
                              dividend  payments  from one year are not  carried
                              forward to the next year.

                        2.    Upon the  liquidation of the Company,  the holders
                              of the Series A  Preferred  Stock are  entitled to
                              receive,  prior to any  distribution of any assets
                              or  surplus  funds to the  holders  of  shares  of
                              common stock or any other  stock,  an amount equal
                              to $1.00 per share,  plus any  accrued  and unpaid
                              dividends related to the fiscal year in which such
                              liquidation occurs.  Total liquidation  preference
                              at December 31, 2002 was $6,000.

                        5.    The Company may, at its option,  redeem all of the

                              Stock at a price of $4.50 per share,  plus accrued

                        Series B Preferred Stock
                        On May 9,  1994,  the  Company  established  a series of
                        non-voting  preferred shares  designated as 12% Series B
                        Preferred Stock, consisting of 500,000 shares with $.001

                        following rights and privileges:

                        1.    The   holders  of  the  shares  are   entitled  to
                              dividends at the rate of forty-eight  cents ($.48)
                              per share  per  annum,  payable  in cash only from

                              shares of Series B Preferred  Stock. The dividends
                              are non-cumulative  and therefore  deficiencies in
                              dividend  payments  from one year are not  carried
                              forward to the next year.

                        2.    Upon the  liquidation of the Company,  the holders
                              of the Series B  Preferred  Stock are  entitled to

                              liquidation  occurs.   Such  right,   however,  is
                              subordinate to the rights of the holders of Series
                              A  Preferred  Stock to receive a  distribution  of

     Plan and           which  reserves  shares of the Company's  authorized but
     Warrants           unissued common stock for the granting of stock options.
                        Amendments  to the Option Plan  increased  the number of
                        shares of common stock reserved for issuance  thereunder
                        to an aggregate of 2,700,000 shares.

                        The  Option  Plan  provides  for the grant of  incentive
                        stock  options  and   non-qualified   stock  options  to
                        employees and directors of the Company.  Incentive stock
                        options  may be granted  only to  employees.  The Option
                        Plan is  administered  by the  Board of  Directors  or a
                        Compensation  Committee,  which  determines the terms of
                        options granted including the exercise price, the number
                        of shares subject to the option,  and the exercisability
                        of the option.

                        During 2002, in connection  with the  Innovative  Optics
                        acquisition  (see note 3), the Company granted  warrants
                        to  purchase  250,000  shares  of  common  stock  at  an
                        exercise  price of $5.00 per share.  These warrants were
                        nonforfeitable, vested and fully exercisable at the time
                        of grant.  The exercise prices of these options were not
                        issued at a  discount  to the then  market  price of the
                        common  stock.  The  options  and  warrants  were valued
                        according  to  the  Black-Scholes  pricing  model.  As a
                        result  of  these   warrants,   the   Company   included
                        approximately $295,000 in the purchase price relating to
                        the  acquisition of the assets from  Innovative  Optics,
                        Inc.

                        In addition,  the Company granted the following  options
                        and  warrants  to  non-employees  during  the year ended
                        December 31, 2001:

                        o     Warrants  to  purchase  100,000  shares  of common
                              stock at an  exercise  price of $4.00  per  share,
                              warrants to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock
                              at an  exercise  price of  $2.00  per  share,  and
                              warrants  to  purchase  100,000  shares  of common
                              stock at $3.00 per share in return for  consulting
                              services.  As a result of these  warrants  granted
                              the  Company  recorded  approximately  $342,000 of
                              general  and  administrative  expense  based  on a
                              Black-Scholes valuation.

12. Related Party       Thomas F. Motter, former Chairman of the Board and Chief
     Transactions       Executive  Officer  of the  Company,  leased  his former
                        residence  to the  Company  for $2,500  per  month.  The
                        primary use of the residential  property was for housing
                        accommodations   for  the  Company's   employees  living
                        outside of Utah while they were working at the Company's
                        corporate  headquarters  in Salt Lake City.  The Company
                        obtained an  appraisal  from an  independent  appraiser,
                        which  has  concluded  that the  monthly  rate of $2,500
                        represents   the  fair   market  rate  for  leasing  the
                        residential  property.  The Company paid $14,000 in rent
                        during 2002.  This  agreement was  terminated on January
                        31, 2003.

                        The Company  entered into a consulting  agreement with a
                        former executive  officer of the Company for a period of
                        six months  commencing in September  2002. The agreement
                        was  renewable  for  additional   six-month  terms.  The
                        Company did not renew the contract upon its  expiration.
                        The Company paid  $15,000  under this  agreement  during
                        2002 and had an  accrual  of $5,000 as of  December  31,
                        2002.

16.  Commitments        Litigation
     and                An action was brought  against the Company in March 2000
     Contingencies      by  George  Wiseman,  a former  employee,  in the  Third
     Continued          District  Court of Salt Lake County,  State of Utah. The
                        complaint  alleges  that the  Company  owes Mr.  Wiseman
                        6,370 shares of its common stock plus costs,  attorney's
                        fees  and a wage  penalty  (equal  to  1,960  additional
                        shares of Paradigm  common stock)  pursuant to Utah law.
                        The Company  believes the complaint is without merit and
                        intends to vigorously defend against the action.

                        An action was brought  against the Company in  September
                        2000 by  PhotoMed  International,  Inc.  and  Daniel  M.
                        Eichenbaum  in the  Third  District  Court of Salt  Lake
                        County,  State of Utah. The action involves an amount of
                        royalties  that are  allegedly due and owing to PhotoMed
                        International,  Inc. and Dr.  Eichenbaum with respect to
                        the sales of certain  equipment  plus  attorney's  fees.
                        Discovery  has  taken  place  and the  Company  has paid
                        royalties of $15,000 to bring all  required  payments up
                        to date through June 30, 2001. However, the legal action
                        has not been dismissed as a result of the payments.  The
                        Company  is in the  process  of  working  with  Photomed
                        International  and Dr.  Eichenbaum  to  ensure  that the
                        calculations  have been  correctly made on the royalties
                        paid as well as the proper method of calculation for the
                        future.  It is  anticipated  that once the  parties  can
                        agree on the correct calculations on the royalties,  the
                        legal  action will be  dismissed.  The Company  believes
                        that any additional royalty payment that may be required
                        as  settlement  of the  action  will not have a material
                        impact on the financial statements.

                        An  Action  has been  brought  against  the  Company  by
                        Merrill  Corporation  that alleges that the Company owes
                        the  plaintiff   approximately   $20,000  together  with
                        interest  thereon  at the  rate  of 10% per  annum  from
                        August 30,  1999,  plus costs and  attorney's  fee.  The
                        complaint  alleges  a breach  of  contract  relative  to
                        printing  services.  The  Company has filed an answer to
                        the complaint and discovery is  proceeding.  The Company
                        believes  that the  complaint  against  the  Company  is
                        without merit and intends to vigorously  defend  against
                        the action.

     and                The Company  received demand letters dated September 14,
     Contingencies      2000  and  October  17,  2000  from  Mentor  Corporation
     Continued          ("Mentor")  claiming that the Company failed to register
                        485,751  shares of common  stock  issued to Mentor under
                        the Asset  Purchase  Agreement  dated  October 15, 1999,
                        among the Company, Mentor, Mentor Ophthalmics,  Inc. and
                        Mentor  Medical,   Inc.  The  Asset  Purchase  Agreement
                        related   to  the   Company's   purchase   of   Mentor's
                        phacoemulsification  product line in  consideration  for
                        the issuance by the Company to Mentor of 485,751  shares
                        of its common stock,  valued at the sum of $1,500,000 at
                        the time of closing.

                        On July 2, 2001,  the Company  entered into a settlement
                        agreement  with Mentor  Corporation in which the Company
                        agreed to pay  350,000  shares  of  common  stock to the
                        Mentor Corporation in exchange for release of all claims
                        against the Company in connection with the  registration
                        of  certain   shares  of  the  Company's   common  stock
                        previously  issued.   This  settlement   resulted  in  a
                        litigation  settlement  expense of $812,000 based on the
                        market price of the  Company's  common stock on the date
                        of settlement.

                        The Company  received a demand letter dated  December 9,
                        2002 from  counsel for Dan  Blacklock,  dba Danlin Corp.
                        The letter demands  payment in the amount of $65,000 for
                        manufacturing  and supplying parts for our microkeratome
                        blades.  The  Company's  records  show that it  received
                        approximately  $35,000 in parts  from the Danlin  Corp.,
                        but that the  additional  amounts  that the Danlin  Corp
                        claims are owed,  were from parts that were received but
                        rejected because they had never been ordered.

                        The Company  received demand letters dated September 29,
                        2002 and December  10, 2002 from  counsel for  CitiCorp,
                        Vendor Finance, Inc. and its successor-in-interest,  The
                        Copy Man dba TCM Business. The letters demand payment of
                        $50,000  plus  interest  for  the  leasing  of two  copy
                        machines  that  were  delivered  to the Salt  Lake  City
                        facilities  on or about April of 2000.  The  majority of
                        the  amounts  alleged to be owed are from the  remaining
                        payments on the leases. The Company disputes the amounts
                        allegedly owed, asserting that the copy machines,  which
                        were  returned  to the  leasing  company,  did not  work
                        properly.

16.  Commitments        Litigation - Continued
     and                The Company  received a demand letter dated December 30,
     Contingencies      2002 from counsel for Thomas F. Motter,  former Chairman
     Continued          and Chief  Executive  Officer.  Mr. Motter claims in the
                        letter  that he was  entitled to certain  stock  options
                        that had not been issued to him in a timely  manner.  By
                        the  time  the  options  were  actually  issued  to him,
                        however,  they had expired.  Mr. Motter contends that if
                        the options had been issued in a timely manner, he would
                        have  exercised  them in a manner  that would have given
                        him  a  substantial   benefit.   Mr.   Motter   requests
                        restitution  for the loss of the financial  opportunity.
                        Mr.  Motter  also claims  that he was  defrauded  by the
                        Company  by  not  being  given  an  extended  employment
                        agreement  when he  terminated  the  change  of  control
                        agreement that he had entered into with the Company.

                        Mr.  Motter is  further  claiming  payment  for  accrued
                        vacation time during the 13 years he had been  employed,
                        asserting  that he only  had a total  of four  weeks  of
                        vacation  during that  period.  Finally,  Mr.  Motter is
                        threatening a shareholder  derivative action against the
                        Company  because  of the  board  of  directors'  alleged
                        failure to conduct an investigation  into  conversations
                        that  took  place in a chat room on  Yahoo.  Mr.  Motter
                        asserts that certain  individuals  participating  in the
                        conversations  were officers or directors of the Company
                        whose  interests  were in conflict with the interests of
                        the shareholders. The Company believes that Mr. Motter's
                        claims and  assertions  are without  merit and intend to
                        vigorously  defend  against  any legal  action  that Mr.
                        Motter may bring against the Company.

                        The Company  received a demand  letter dated  January 6,
                        2003 from counsel for Westcore STIPG,  LLC, the landlord
                        with regard to the lease on the former facilities in San
                        Diego, California. The letter demands payment of $11,000
                        plus interest, attorney's fees and costs for the repairs
                        and restoration work on the San Diego facilities,  after
                        a deduction of a $6,000  security  deposit.  The Company
                        rejects  these  claims,  contending  that  the  security
                        deposit   was   adequate  to  pay  for  any  repairs  or
                        restoration expenses on the premises.

                        An action  was  brought  by Dr.  John  Charles  Casebeer
                        against  the  Company  in the  Montana  Second  Judicial
                        District Court, Silver Bow County, state of Montana. The
                        complaint  alleges  that  Dr.  Casebeer  entered  into a
                        personal services contract with the Company memorialized
                        by a letter dated April 20, 2002,  with it being alleged
                        that Dr. Casebeer fully performed his  obligations.  Dr.
                        Casebeer  asserts  that he is  entitled  to $43,750  per
                        quarter for  consultant  time and as an  incentive to be
                        granted  each  quarter  $5,000 in options  issued at the
                        fair market value. An additional purported incentive was
                        $50,000  in shares of stock  being  issued at the time a
                        formalized  contract was to be signed by the parties. In
                        the  letter it is  provided  that at its  election,  the
                        Company may pay the  consideration  in the form of stock
                        or cash and that stock would be issued within 30 days of
                        the close of the quarter.  Prior to the litigation,  the
                        Company  issued  43,684  shares  to  Dr.  Casebeer.  The
                        referenced  letter provides that termination may be made
                        by either  party  upon  giving 90 days  written  notice.
                        Notice was given by the Company in early  November 2002.
                        The Company  recently filed its answer in defense of the
                        action. Issues include whether or not Dr. Casebeer fully
                        performed as asserted.

                        The   Company   may   become  or  is  subject  to  other
                        investigations,   claims  or  lawsuits  ensuing  out  of
                        conduct  of its  business,  including  those  related to
                        environmental  safety  and  health,  product  liability,
                        commercial  transactions  etc.  The Company is currently
                        not aware of any other  such  items,  which it  believes
                        could have a material  adverse  effect on the  financial
                        statements.

16.  Commitments        Royalty Agreements
     and                The Company has a royalty  agreement  with the president
     Contingencies      of OBF.  The  agreement  provides for the payment of 10%
     Continued          royalty  of the net  sales  related  to the  Blood  Flow
                        Analyzer.  The agreement terminates in 2020. The Company
                        did not make any royalty payments during 2002 under this
                        agreement  and  $147,000  were accrued at the end of the
                        year.

                        The  Company  has an amended  exclusive  patent  license
                        agreement  with a company  which owns the patent for the
                        laser-probe  used on the Photon  machine.  The agreement
                        provides  for the  payment  of a 1% royalty on all sales
                        proceeds related  directly or indirectly,  to the Photon
                        machine.  The  agreement  expires when the United States
                        patent rights expire in September 2004. Through December
                        31, 2002, no significant  royalties have been paid under
                        this agreement.

                        The Company has an agreement with a Canadian corporation
                        that  provides for the payment of  royalties  related to
                        the  sales  of  UBM  (Ultrasonic  Bio-Microscopy).   The
                        agreement  outlines payments of 150 Canadian Dollars for
                        each licensed product sold for a period of 12 years that
                        ends in  September of 2002.  At December  31, 2002,  the
                        Company had accrued approximately $7,000 in royalties.

                        The Company has a royalty agreement with another company
                        that developed a promotional CD for the Company. Through
                        the  promotion of the CD, the Company  hopes to increase
                        sales in the  Autoperimiter and assist doctors currently
                        using the unit with the interpretation of visual fields.
                        The  royalty  base with be 50% each until the  Company's
                        share equals the production costs related to development
                        of the disk. Thereafter,  the developer will receive 70%
                        and the Company  will  receive 30% of the royalty  base.
                        Royalties   paid  during  the  year   relating  to  this
                        agreement were not significant.


17.  Fair Value         The  Company's  financial  instruments  consist of cash,
     of Financial       receivables,  payables,  and notes payable. The carrying
     Instruments        amount of cash,  receivables  and payables  approximates
                        fair  value  because of the  short-term  nature of these
                        items.   The  carrying   amount  of  the  notes  payable
                        approximates  fair  value as the  individual  borrowings
                        bear interest at market interest rates.

18.  Recent             Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     Accounting         In June 2001,  the FASB issued  Statement  of  Financial
     Pronounce-         Accounting  Standards  No.  143,  "Accounting  for Asset
     ments              Retirement   Obligations".   This  Statement   addresses
                        financial   accounting  and  reporting  for  obligations
                        associated  with the  retirement of tangible  long-lived
                        assets and the associated asset retirement  costs.  This
                        Statement is effective for financial  statements  issued
                        for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15,  2002.  This
                        Statement addresses  financial  accounting and reporting
                        for the disposal of  long-lived  assets.  The Company is
                        currently assessing the impact of this statement.

                        In April 2002,  the FASB issued  Statement  of Financial
                        Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
                        Statements  No.  4,  44,  and  64,   Amendment  of  FASB
                        Statement  No.  13,  and  Technical  Corrections."  This
                        statement requires the classification of gains or losses
                        from the extinguishments of debt to meet the criteria of
                        Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 30 before they
                        can  be  classified  as   extraordinary  in  the  income
                        statement.   As  a  result,   companies  that  use  debt
                        extinguishment  as part of their risk management  cannot
                        classify  the gain or loss from that  extinguishment  as
                        extraordinary.     The    statement     also    requires
                        sale-leaseback     accounting    for    certain    lease
                        modifications  that have  economic  effects  similar  to
                        sale-leaseback transactions. The Company does not expect
                        Adoption  of SFAS No. 145 did have a material  impact on
                        financial position or future operations.

                        In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,  "Accounting
                        for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal  Activities."
                        This  standard,  which is effective for exit or disposal
                        activities  initiated after December 31, 2002,  provides
                        new  guidance  on  the   recognition,   measurement  and
                        reporting of costs associated with these activities. The
                        standard   requires   companies   to   recognize   costs
                        associated  with exit or disposal  activities  when they
                        are incurred rather than at the date the company commits
                        to an exit or disposal  plan.  The  adoption of SFAS No.
                        146 by the  Company is not  expected  to have a material
                        impact on the  Company's  financial  position  or future
                        operations.

18.  Recent             Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Continued
     Accounting         In  December   2002,   the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  148
     Pronounce-         "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and
     ments              Disclosure--an  amendment  of FASB  Statement  No. 123,"
     Continued          which is  effective  for all fiscal  years  ending after
                        December  15, 2002.  SFAS No. 148  provides  alternative
                        methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
                        value  based  method  of  accounting   for   stock-based
                        employee  compensation  under  SFAS  No.  123  from  the
                        intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
                        Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No. 25. SFAS 148
                        also changes the  disclosure  requirements  of SFAS 123,
                        requiring a more  prominent  disclosure of the pro-forma
                        effect of the fair value based method of accounting  for
                        stock-based  compensation.  The adoption of SFAS No. 148
                        by the  Company  did not have a  material  impact on the
                        Company's financial position or future operations.

                        In January  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards
                        Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation
                        of  Variable  Interest  Entities  (FIN  No.  46),  which
                        addresses   consolidation  by  business  enterprises  of
                        variable  interest  entities.  FIN No. 46 clarifies  the
                        application  of  Accounting  Research  Bulletin  No. 51,
                        Consolidated  Financial Statements,  to certain entities
                        in   which   equity    investors   do   not   have   the
                        characteristics  of a controlling  financial interest or
                        do not have sufficient  equity at risk for the entity to
                        finance its activities without  additional  subordinated
                        financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46 applies
                        immediately to variable  interest entities created after
                        January 31, 2003, and to variable  interest  entities in
                        which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.
                        It applies in the first  fiscal  year or interim  period
                        beginning  after June 15,  2003,  to  variable  interest
                        entities  in  which  an  enterprise   holds  a  variable
                        interest that it acquired  before  February 1, 2003. The
                        Company   does  not  expect  to  identify  any  variable
                        interest  entities  that  must be  consolidated.  In the
                        event a  variable  interest  entity is  identified,  the
                        Company does not expect the  requirements  of FIN No. 46
                        to have a material impact on its financial  condition or
                        results of operations.

18.  Recent             Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Continued
     Accounting         In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
     Pronounce-         Guarantor's  Accounting and Disclosure  Requirements for
     ments              Guarantees,    Including    Indirect    Guarantees    of
     Continued          Indebtedness of Others (FIN No. 45). FIN No. 45 requires
                        certain  guarantees to be recorded at fair value,  which
                        is different from current practice to record a liability
                        only when a loss is probable and  reasonably  estimable,
                        as those  terms are  defined  in FASB  Statement  No. 5,
                        Accounting for  Contingencies.  FIN No. 45 also requires
                        the Company to make  significant new  disclosures  about
                        guarantees.  The disclosure  requirements  of FIN No. 45
                        are  effective  for the Company in the first  quarter of
                        fiscal year 2003. FIN No. 45's initial  recognition  and
                        initial  measurement  provisions  are  applicable  on  a
                        prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after
                        December 31, 2002. The Company's previous accounting for
                        guarantees  issued  prior  to the  date  of the  initial
                        application  of  FIN  No.  45  will  not be  revised  or
                        restated  to reflect  the  provisions  of FIN No 45. The
                        Company  does not expect the  adoption  of FIN No. 45 to
                        have a  material  impact on its  consolidated  financial
                        position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Section  145 of the  General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware
(the "Delaware Law") empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who
is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed
legal action, suit or proceedings,  whether civil,  criminal,  administrative or
investigative  (other  than action by or in the right of such  corporation),  by
reason  of the  fact  that  such  person  was an  officer  or  director  of such
corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of such  corporation  as a
director,  officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise.  The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement  actually and  reasonably  incurred by such person in
connection with such action,  suit or proceeding,  provided that such officer or
director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not  opposed  to the  corporation's  best  interests,  and,  for  criminal
proceedings,  had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was illegal.
A Delaware  corporation may indemnify  officers and directors in an action by or
in the  right of the  corporation  under  the same  conditions,  except  that no
indemnification  is  permitted  without  judicial  approval  if the  officer  or
director is adjudged to be liable to the  corporation in the  performance of his
or her duty.  Where an  officer  or  director  is  successful  on the  merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above,  the corporation  must
indemnify  him or her  against  the  expenses  which such  officer  or  director
actually and reasonably incurred.

         In accordance with the Delaware Law, the  Certificate of  Incorporation
of the  Company  contains a provision  to limit the  personal  liability  of the
directors of the Company for violations of their  fiduciary duty. This provision
eliminates each director's  liability to the Registrant or its  stockholders for
monetary  damages except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional  misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the  Delaware  Law  providing  for  liability  of  directors  for
unlawful  payment of dividends or unlawful stock  purchases or  redemptions,  or
(iv) for any  transaction  from which a director  derived an  improper  personal
benefit.  The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of
directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary
duty of care, including any such actions involving gross negligence.

         The Company may not indemnify an  individual  unless  authorized  and a
determination  is  made  in  the  specific  case  that  indemnification  of  the
individual is permissible in the circumstances because his or her conduct was in
good faith, he or she reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in, or not
opposed  to, the  Company's  best  interests  and,  in the case of any  criminal
proceeding,  he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.  The  Company may not advance  expenses to an  individual  to whom the
Company may ultimately be responsible for  indemnification  unless authorized in
the specific case after the individual furnishes the following to the Company: a
written  affirmation of his or her good faith belief that his or her conduct was
in good faith,  that he or she  reasonably  believed that his or her conduct was
in, or not  opposed to, the  Company's  best  interests  and, in the case of any
criminal  proceeding,  he or she had no  reasonable  cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful and (2) the  individual  furnishes to the Company a written
undertaking,  executed  personally or on his or her behalf, to repay the advance
if it is  ultimately  determined  that he or she did not  meet the  standard  of
conduct  referenced in part (1) of this sentence.  In addition to the individual
furnishing the aforementioned written affirmation and undertaking,  in order for
the  Company to advance  expenses,  a  determination  must also be made that the
facts  then-  known  to  those  making  the  determination  would  not  preclude
indemnification.

         All determinations relative to indemnification must be made as follows:
(1) by the Board of Directors of the Company by a majority vote of those present
at a meeting at which a quorum is present,  and only those directors not parties
to the proceeding shall be counted in satisfying the quorum requirement;  or (2)
if a quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in part (1) of this sentence,  by
a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors designated by the Board
of  Directors  of the  Company,  which  committee  shall  consist of two or more
directors not parties to the  proceeding,  except that directors who are parties
to the  proceeding  may  participate  in the  designation  of directors  for the
committee; or (3) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or
its committee in the manner  prescribed in part (1) or part (2) of this sentence
(however,  if a quorum of the Board of Directors  cannot be obtained  under part
(1) of this sentence and a committee cannot be designated under part (2) of this
sentence,  then a special  legal counsel shall be selected by a majority vote of
the full board of directors, in which selection directors who are parties to the
proceeding may participate);  or (4) by the  shareholders,  by a majority of the
votes entitled to be cast by holders of qualified shares present in person or by
proxy at a meeting.


                                      II-2




         The Company has also entered into  Indemnification  Agreements with its
executive  officers  and  directors.   These   Indemnification   Agreements  are
substantially  similar  in  effect  to the  Bylaws  and  the  provisions  of our
Certificate  of  Incorporation  relative  to  providing  indemnification  to the
maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the Delaware  General  Corporation
Law.  Additionally,  such  Indemnification  Agreements  contractually  bind  the
Company  with  respect to  indemnification  and contain  certain  exceptions  to
indemnification,  but do not limit the indemnification available pursuant to our
Bylaws,  our Certificate of Incorporation  or the Delaware  General  Corporation
Law.

Item 28. Undertakings

         (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

              (1) To  file,  during  any  period  in which  it  offers  or sells
securities, a post -effective amendment to this registration statement:

                     (i) To include any prospectus  required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");

                     (ii) To  reflect  in the  prospectus  any  facts or  events
which,  individually  or  together,   represent  a  fundamental  change  in  the
information in the registration  statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  any
increase or decrease in volume of securities  offered (if the total dollar value
of  securities  offered  would not  exceed  that which was  registered)  and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated  maximum  offering range may
be reflected in the form of  prospectus  filed with the  Commission  pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,  the changes in volume and price  represent no
more than 20% change in the maximum  aggregate  offering  price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
and

                     (iii)  To  include  any  additional  or  changed   material
information on the plan of distribution.

         (2) That, for  determining  liability  under the Securities  Act, treat
each post-effective  amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered,  and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

         (3) To file a post-effective  amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

                                      II-8



              (b) Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons
of the  registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
preceding)  is  asserted  by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against  policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

              The undersigned registrant also undertakes that:

              (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, treat the information  omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this  registration  statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or Rule
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this  registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

              (2) For the  purposes  of  determining  any  liability  under  the
Securities  Act,  treat each  post-effective  amendment  that contains a form of
prospectus as a new  registration  statement for the  securities  offered in the
registration  statement,  and the offering of the securities at that time as the
initial bona fide offering of those securities.



                                      II-9



                                   SIGNATURES

         In accordance with the  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements of filing on Form SB-2 and has duly caused this registration
statement  to be signed on its  behalf by the  undersigned,  in Salt Lake  City,
State of Utah, this 27th day of February 2004.
