FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements under the heading “Summary Information About Memry” in this prospectus, as well as certain information incorporated by reference as described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information,” constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and often depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise. The Company’s future operating results may differ materially from the results discussed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements made by the Company. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and the other risks detailed in the Company’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can usually identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often use words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and future financial results.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Prospectus and information incorporated by reference may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in this discussion — for example, product competition and the competitive environment — will be important in determining future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially.

SUMMARY INFORMATION ABOUT MEMRY

The Company is a producer of shape memory alloys (“SMAs”) and specialty polymer-extrusion products. We provide products primarily to the medical device industry using the Company’s proprietary shape memory alloy and polymer-extrusion technologies. Medical device products utilizing these technologies include stent components, catheter components, guidewires, laparoscopic surgical sub-assemblies, orthopedic instruments, urological devices and similar products. The Company also produces a limited number of products for the commercial and industrial market. The Company also provides engineering services to assist customers in the development of products based on the properties of shape memory alloys and extruded polymers. We conduct our business in two business segments: (i) the Nitinol Products Segment, and (ii) the Polymer Products Segment. The Nitinol Products Segment provides design support, manufactures and markets advanced materials which possess the ability to change their shape in response to thermal and mechanical changes, and the ability to return to their original shape following deformations from which conventional materials cannot recover. The Nitinol Products Segment’s products are used in applications for stent components, filters, embolic protection devices, guidewires, catheters, surgical instruments and devices, orthopedic devices, orthodontic apparatus, cellular telephone antennae, high pressure sealing devices, fasteners, and other devices. The Polymer Products Segment designs, manufactures and markets specialty polymer-extrusion products to companies serving the medical device, laser, fiber-optic, automotive and industrial markets. Its primary products are complex, multi-lumen, multi-layer extrusions used for guidewires, catheter shafts, delivery systems and various other interventional medical procedures. The Polymer Products Segment’s products are known for their complex configurations, multiple material construction and innovative designs, all

while maintaining tight tolerances. A more detailed description of our business is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, which we have incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be considered carefully in connection with any evaluation of our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and an investment in our common stock. Additionally, the following risk factors could cause our actual results to materially differ from those reflected in any forward-looking statements.

Our revenues may be adversely affected if our largest customers reduce orders.

Our four largest customers accounted for over 50% of the our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers due to industry consolidation, loss in market share, selection of an additional supply source, the in-house production of components, change in medical procedures, customer quality problems or excess customer supply could dramatically reduce the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash needed to fund operations.

Our production may be reduced by an inability to obtain the necessary raw materials.

The Company obtains its SMAs from one principal source. If the Company were, for whatever reason, not able to secure an adequate supply of SMAs from this supplier, we have identified other suppliers that would be able to supply the Company with sufficient quantities of SMAs, although it is likely the Company would suffer meaningful transitional difficulties for certain products if it had to switch to an alternate supplier. Additionally, the Company obtains its polymers from four principal sources. A reduction in production due to an inability to obtain the necessary raw materials could dramatically reduce the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash needed to fund operations until production is restored.

Our revenues and operating results may be negatively affected and we may not achieve future growth projections if we fail to compete successfully against our competitors.

The Company faces competition from other SMA processors, who compete with the Company in the sale of semi-finished materials and formed components. There are several major U.S., European and Japanese companies engaged in the supply or use of SMAs, some of which have substantially greater resources than the Company. Within the U.S., the two major SMA suppliers to both the Company and the industry as a whole have substantially greater resources than the Company. Each of these companies could determine that it wishes to compete with the Company in our markets. One of them has become a competitor of the Company for semi-finished wire and strip materials. The Company also faces competition in the specialty polymer-extrusion sector. There are three companies that compete with us in a broad range of specialty polymer extrusion products and one additional company that competes with us primarily in the Polyimide product line.

The Company intends to compete and advance its position based primarily on its manufacturing capabilities, its proprietary intellectual property positions, its knowledge of the processing parameters of the alloys and polymers, and its unique design and assembly capabilities, particularly in the medical device field. However, our competitors may also continue to improve their products, implement manufacturing efficiencies and develop new competing products. We may be unable to compete effectively with our competitors if we cannot keep up with existing or new alternative products, techniques, and technology in the markets we serve. These new technologies and products may beat our

products to the market, be more effective than our products, be less costly than our products or render our products obsolete by substantially reducing the applications for our products. It is likely that this competitive activity will result in downward pressure on our sales prices and have a negative impact on gross margins.

We may experience an interruption in sales of a product and incur costs if the customers’ products are recalled.

The majority of the Company’s products are used in the medical device industry. In the event that any of our customers’ products present a health hazard to the patient or physician or fail to meet product performance criteria or specifications, this could result in a recall of the products, thereby resulting in a loss of our revenue and an adverse impact on our profitability.

In the event of a claim that we infringe upon another company’s intellectual property rights, we could incur significant costs and/or be required to stop the sale of the related product.

The U.S. business environment is highly litigious with respect to patents and other intellectual property rights. Although the Company’s technical staff is generally familiar with the patent environment relevant to our product lines and has reviewed patent searches when considered relevant, the Company cannot be certain whether any of its current or contemplated products would infringe any existing patents. Companies have used intellectual property litigation to seek to gain a competitive advantage. In the future, we may become a party to lawsuits involving patents or other intellectual property. A legal proceeding, regardless of the outcome, would draw upon our financial resources and divert the time and efforts of our management. If we are unsuccessful in one of these proceedings, a court, or a similar foreign governing body, could require us to pay significant damages to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties and pay ongoing royalties, require us to redesign our products, or prevent us from manufacturing, using or selling our products. In addition to being costly, protracted litigation to defend or enforce our intellectual property rights could result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of the affected products until the litigation is resolved.

Quality problems with our processes, goods and services could harm our reputation for producing high quality products and erode our competitive advantage.

Quality is extremely important to us and our customers due to the serious and costly consequences of product failure. Our quality certifications are critical to the marketing success of our goods and services. If we fail to meet these standards, our reputation could be damaged, we could lose customers and our revenue would decline. Aside from specific customer standards, our success depends generally on our ability to manufacture to exact tolerances precision engineered components, subassemblies and finished devices from multiple materials. If our components fail to meet these standards or fail to adapt to evolving standards, our reputation as a manufacturer of high quality components will be harmed, our competitive advantage would be damaged, and we would lose customers and market share.

Consolidation in the medical device industry could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

Many medical device companies are consolidating to create new companies with greater market power. As the medical device industry consolidates, competition to provide goods and services to industry participants will become more intense. These industry participants may be able to produce components currently provided by us or they may be able to use their market power to negotiate price concessions or reductions for components produced by us. If we lose market share due to in-house production by customers or replacement by a competitor, or if we are forced to reduce our prices because of consolidation in the medical device industry, our revenues would decrease and our earnings, financial condition and/or cash flows would suffer.

Loss of any of our manufacturing facilities would adversely affect our financial position.

We are currently operating at three production facilities, two for SMAs and one for specialty polymers. Although we believe we have adequate physical capacity to serve our business operations for the foreseeable future, we do not have a back up facility for any of the locations. The loss of any facility would have a material adverse effect on our revenues, earnings, financial condition and/or cash flows.

A loss of key personnel could have an adverse affect on our revenues and results of operations.

Our future success depends on the continued service and availability of skilled personnel, including research, technical, marketing and management positions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully retain and attract the key personnel it needs. Further, many of our key personnel receive a total compensation package that includes equity awards. New regulations, volatility in the stock market and other factors could diminish the Company’s use, and the value, of the Company’s equity awards, putting us at a competitive disadvantage or forcing us to use more cash compensation. The loss of key personnel could have a material effect on our revenues, earnings, financial condition and/or cash flows.

An inability to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could adversely affect investor confidence and, as a result, our stock price.

The Company may be required to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) as early as June 30, 2008. Although we have begun to implement the procedures to comply with the requirements of Section 404, there is no assurance that we will have a successful initial implementation. Failure to meet the initial implementation requirements of Section 404, our inability to comply with Section 404’s requirements, and the costs of ongoing compliance could have a material adverse effect on investor confidence and our stock price.

The Company has debt outstanding and must comply with restrictive covenants in its debt agreements.

The Company’s existing debt agreements contain a number of significant restrictive covenants, which limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional money, pay dividends, redeem stock, and enter into mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures. The covenants also require the Company to maintain compliance with fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios, as defined. While the Company is currently in compliance with all the foregoing covenants, increases in our debt or decreases in our earnings could cause the Company to be in default of these financial covenants. If the Company is unable to comply with theses covenants, there would be a default under these debt agreements. In addition, changes in economic or business conditions, results of operations or other factors could cause the Company to default under its debt agreements. A default, if not amended or waived by our lenders, could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and place a severe strain on our liquidity.

The following are some additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results:

 

   

trends toward managed care, healthcare cost containment and other changes in government and private sector initiatives, in the U.S. and other countries in which we do business, that are placing increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies

INDEMNIFICATION

Limitation of Directors’ Liability

The Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may include a provision limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, no such provision can eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which relates to liability for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, (4) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or (5) for any act or omission prior to the adoption of such provision in the certificate of incorporation. Memry’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision eliminating the personal liability for money damages of our directors to the full extent permitted under the DGCL.

Indemnification and Insurance

The DGCL contains provisions setting forth conditions under which a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers. Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that a director or officer who is a party to any action, suit, or proceeding shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the extent permitted by the DGCL against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by such director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. We maintain a standard form of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy which provides coverage to the officers and directors of Memry for certain liabilities.
