epilepsy, the world's second most prevalent neurological disorder. Over 600,000 individuals in the United
States, Europe and Japan suffer from refractory epilepsy characterized by seizures which are not controlled
by traditional drug therapies. The Company's principal product, the VNS Therapy™ System consists of a
pacemaker-like electrical pulse generator and a nerve stimulation electrode which deliver intermittent
electrical stimulation to the left vagus nerve in the patient's neck. Stimulation of the left vagus nerve has
been shown to cause widespread and bilateral effects in the areas of the brain known to be responsible for
seizure activity. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) with the Cyberonics VNS Therapy System is the first new
approach to the treatment of epilepsy in over 100 years. The VNS Therapy System was the first and
continues to be the only FDA approved medical device for the treatment of epilepsy. On July 16, 1997,
Cyberonics received United States Food and Drug Administration approval to market the VNS Therapy
System for the treatment of medically refractory partial onset seizures in adults and adolescents over
twelve years of age. Cyberonics has received similar approvals to market the V NS Therapy System in
Canada and the member countries of the European Union. Approvals for Japan and certain other Asian,
Latin American and South American countries are being sought. Surgical implantation of the VNS Therapy
System is a straightforward, fully-reversible procedure which takes between 30 minutes and two hours,
does not involve the brain and has been performed by surgeons with a variety of specializations using
general or local anesthesia. Reimbursement for the device and the procedure has been provided by a
variety of third-party payors in the United States, Canada and Europe. In the United States a number of
payors such as the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Technology Evaluation Committee and the Health Care
Finance Administration (Medicare) have issued national coverage policy decisions or recommendations for
the NCP System. To date, more than 10,000 patients throughout the United States and Europe have been
treated with VNS.

improve clearance of neurotoxins that may be significant in the progression of Alzheimer´s disease. The
device is the COGNIShunt® System, a cerebrospinal fluid shunt similar but not identical to shunts used for
the treatment of children and adults with hydrocephalus. The COGNIShunt has been engineered specifically
to provide a low flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) in individuals without hydrocephalus. It is designed to
improve CSF clearance without the over drainage of CSF that can occur with hydrocephalus shunts. The
hypothesis is that impaired clearance or diminished production of CSF leads to stagnation of CSF, result ing
in accumulation of toxic proteins and inflammatory mediators in the brain. Such accumulated substances
may play a key role in ongoing brain injury in Alzheimer´s disease.

Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc.
2915 Waters Road, Suite 108
Eagan, Minnesota 55121
HDI's technology measures a blood pressure waveform produced by the beating heart that HDI believes
can be analyzed to provide an assessment of arterial elasticity. When the aortic valve closes after the
heart has ejected its stroke volume of blood (the blood ejected during each heart beat) , the decay or
decrease of blood pressure within the arteries prior to the next heart beat forms a pressure curve or
waveform which is indicative of arterial elasticity. Subtle changes in arterial elasticity introduce changes in
the arterial system that are reflected in the arterial blood pressure waveform and research suggests that
these changes in the function and structure of the arterial wall precede the development of diseases such
as hypertension and diabetes.
