1. Organization and Operations

Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1990 to design, manufacture, sell and service image-directed, computer-controlled robotic software and hardware products for use in orthopedic surgical procedures. On June 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its operating assets. After completion of the sale, the Company no longer engaged in any business activities related to its former business described above. The Company’s current operations are limited to raising additional funds to be used to maintain the Company’s public company status and to complete a business combination or strategic alliance, if suitable candidates are identified.
