(unaudited)

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods presented. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s 2009 consolidated financial statements, the Company reclassified $1.2 million of bond premium amortization, a noncash item, from investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to a noncash item in cash flows from operating activities as an adjustment to reconcile net income  to net cash provided by operating activities.  The Company considers this an immaterial reclassification and has changed the 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements.

ICU Medical, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, operates principally in one business segment engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of disposable medical devices. The Company’s devices are sold directly or to distributors and medical product manufacturers throughout the United States and internationally. All subsidiaries are wholly or majority owned and included in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2:  New Accounting Pronouncements:

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This Update requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3.  This Update also clarifies existing disclosures for level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques.  The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those years.

Note 3:  Fair Value Measurement:

The Company’s investment securities, which are considered available-for-sale and trading, consist principally of certificates of deposit and federal-tax-exempt state and municipal government debt.  The Company has $7.3 million of its investment securities as Level 1 assets, which are certificates of deposit with quoted prices in active markets.  The Company has $17.4 million of its investment securities as Level 2 assets, which are pre-refunded and non-pre-refunded municipal securities and have observable inputs. The Company has $0.8 million invested in one “auction rate security” as a Level 3 asset due to the unobservable inputs caused by the lack of liquidity.  The valuation of this security was based on quotes received from our brokers derived from their internal models combined with internally developed discount factors.  In determining a discount factor for each auction rate security, the model weights various factors, including assessments of credit quality, duration, insurance wraps, discount rates, overall capital market liquidity and comparable securities, if any.  They are carried at fair value.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010:

The following tables summarize the change in the fair values for Level 3 items for the quarter ended June 30, 2010:

Level 3 changes in fair value (pre-tax):

The Company has an agreement in place with UBS AG (“UBS”) that permits the Company to require UBS to purchase the Company’s auction rate securities at par value plus accrued interest.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company has $0.8 million in one auction rate security.  There was no change in the market value of the Company’s auction rate security in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Note 4:  Inventories:

Inventories consisted of the following:

Note 5:  Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

Note 6:  Net Income Per Share:

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive securities. Dilutive securities are outstanding common stock options (excluding stock options with an exercise price in excess of the average market value for the period), less the number of shares that could have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the options, using the treasury stock method. Options that are anti-dilutive because their exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common stock for the period approximated 922,000 and 267,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and 748,000 and 679,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Note 7:  Income Taxes:

Income taxes were accrued at an estimated annual effective tax rate of 35% in the first half of 2010 compared to 36% in the first half of 2009. The effective tax rate differs from that computed at the federal statutory rate of 35% principally because of the effect of foreign and state income taxes, tax credits, tax exempt income and deductions for domestic production activities.

Note 8:  Major Customer:

The Company had revenues equal to 10% or more of total revenues from one customer, Hospira, Inc. Such revenues were 41% and 63% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 40% and 67% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable from Hospira of 35% and 37%, of consolidated accounts receivable, respectively.

Note 9:  Treasury Stock:

The Company had a common stock purchase plan, authorized by its board of directors, to purchase up to $55.0 million of its common stock which was completed in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The Company purchased $4.7 million and $28.6 million of its common stock in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

In July 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved a new common stock purchase plan to purchase up to $40.0 million of its common stock.

Note 10:  Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company is from time to time involved in various other legal proceedings, most of which are routine litigation, in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the resolution of the other legal proceedings in which the Company is involved will not likely have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In the normal course of business, the Company has agreed to indemnify officers and directors of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law and to indemnify customers as to certain intellectual property matters related to sales of the Company’s products.  There is no maximum limit on the indemnification that may be required under these agreements.  The Company has never incurred, nor do we expect to incur, any liability for indemnification.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Hospira, the Company agreed to indemnify Hospira and its affiliates from certain liabilities arising out of (i) inaccuracies of the Company’s representations and breaches of the Company’s warranties; (ii) defaults of the Company’s covenants or obligations; (iii) certain assumed obligations and (iv) use of the acquired assets after the date of closing.  Most of Hospira’s rights to indemnification will terminate eighteen months after the closing of the transaction on August 31, 2009, except for liabilities arising out of certain provisions of the asset purchase agreement and liabilities for which notice was previously provided.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to indemnify Hospira for any liabilities for which Hospira is obligated to indemnify us or our affiliates under our Manufacturing, Commercialization and Development Agreement with Hospira, Inc., dated March 1, 2005 (the “MCDA”).

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We are a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of proprietary, disposable medical connection systems for use in vascular therapy applications.  Our devices are designed to protect patients from catheter related bloodstream infections and healthcare workers from exposure to diseases through accidental needlesticks or hazardous drugs.  We are also a leader in the production of custom infusion sets and we incorporate our proprietary products into many of those custom infusion sets.  In addition, we are a significant manufacturer of critical care medical devices, including catheters, angiography kits and cardiac monitoring systems.

Business Overview

Until the late 1990s, our primary emphasis in product development, sales and marketing was disposable medical connectors for use in I.V. therapy, and our principal product was the CLAVE.  In the late 1990s, we commenced a transition from a product-centered company to an innovative, fast, efficient, low-cost manufacturer of custom infusion sets, using processes that we believe can be readily applied to a variety of disposable medical devices. This strategy has enabled us to capture revenue on the entire I.V. delivery system, and not just a component of the system.  We have furthered this effort to include all of our proprietary devices beyond the CLAVE.

One strategy has been to acquire new product lines.  For example, in August 2009, we purchased the commercial rights and physical assets of Hospira’s critical care product line, which resulted in our control over all aspects of the critical care product line, including production, sales, marketing, customer contracting and distribution. We had previously manufactured for sale, exclusively to Hospira, the critical care products.  Hospira retained commercial responsibility for the products that we manufactured, including sales to end customers, marketing, pricing, distribution, customer contracts, customer service and billing.  We had little ability to directly influence Hospira’s sales and marketing efforts, and our sales under this arrangement were subject to fluctuations over which we had little control. The purchase of Hospira’s critical care line has resulted in an increase in direct sales and sales to independent distributors but a decrease in sales to Hospira.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in finding future acquisition opportunities or integrating these new product lines into our existing business.

Another strategy for reducing our dependence on our current proprietary products has been to introduce new products. We have introduced a new line of oncology products including the Spiros male lure connector device, the Genie vial access device and ancillary products specifically designed for chemotherapy. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully manufacture market and sell these new products.

We are also expanding our custom products business through increased sales to medical product manufacturers, independent distributors and through direct sales to the end users of our product.  These expansions include our 2008 agreement with Premier, the extension of the term of our agreement with MedAssets and our recent entry into an agreement with Novation of all our critical care products.  Each of these organizations is a U.S. healthcare purchasing network.  Custom products, which include custom infusion, custom oncology and custom critical care products, accounted for approximately $43.7 million or 33% of total revenue in the first half of 2010 and $78.6 million or 34% of total revenue in 2009.  We expect increases in sales of custom infusion sets, custom critical care and custom oncology products and expect that these products will be of increasing importance to us in future years.  We expect continued growth in 2010 in our CLAVE products in the U.S., but at a modest growth rate.  We also potentially face substantial increases in competition in our CLAVE business.  Therefore, we are focusing on increasing product development, acquisition, sales and marketing efforts to custom products and other products that lend themselves to customization and new products in the U.S. and international markets.

Our largest customer is Hospira.  Our relationship with Hospira has been and will continue to be of singular importance to our growth.  We currently manufacture custom infusion sets for sale by Hospira and jointly promote the products under the name SetSource. Additionally, as discussed above, prior to our acquisition of its critical care line, we previously manufactured Hospira’s critical care products. In the first half of 2010 and the years ended 2009 and 2008, our revenues from worldwide sales to Hospira were 40%, 53% and 69%, respectively, of total revenues.  Although we can provide no assurances, as a result of our purchase of Hospira’s critical care product line, we expect the percentage of revenues from sales to Hospira will continue to decrease because we now sell critical care products directly to the distributor or end user instead of to Hospira.  However, we expect revenues from sales of CLAVE products, custom infusion sets and new products to Hospira to remain a significant percentage of our revenues.  Hospira has a significant share of the I.V. set market in the U.S. and provides us access to that market, and we expect that Hospira will be important to our growth for CLAVE, custom infusion sets, and our other products worldwide.

We believe that achievement of our growth objectives worldwide will require increased efforts by us in sales and marketing and product development; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. The custom products market is small, when compared to the larger market of standard products, and we could encounter customer resistance to custom products.  Further, we could encounter increased competition as other companies see opportunity in this market.  Product development or acquisition efforts may not succeed, and even if we do develop or acquire additional products, there is no assurance that we will achieve profitable sales of such products.  An adverse change in our relationship with Hospira, or a deterioration of Hospira’s position in the market, could have an adverse effect on us.  Increased expenditures for sales and marketing and product acquisition and development may not yield desired results when expected, or at all.  While we have taken steps to control these risks, there are certain risks that may be outside of our control, and there is no assurance that steps we have taken will succeed.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, total revenues by product as a percentage of total revenues:

We sell our I.V. administration products to independent distributors, direct sales and through agreements with Hospira and certain other medical product manufacturers.  Most independent distributors handle the full line of our I.V. administration products.  We sell our I.V. administration and oncology products under two agreements with Hospira.  Under a 1995 agreement, Hospira purchases CLAVE products, principally bulk, non-sterile connectors, oncology products and the CLC2000.  Under a 2001 agreement, we sell custom infusion sets to Hospira under a program referred to as SetSource.  Our 1995 and 2001 agreements with Hospira provide Hospira with conditional exclusive and nonexclusive rights to distribute all existing ICU Medical products worldwide with terms that extend to 2014.  We sell invasive monitoring and angiography to independent distributors and through direct sales.  We also sell certain other products to a number of other medical product manufacturers.

We believe that as healthcare providers continue to either consolidate or join major buying organizations, the success of our products will depend, in part, on our ability, either independently or through strategic relationships such as our Hospira relationship, to secure long-term contracts with large healthcare providers and major buying organizations.  As a result of this marketing and distribution strategy we derive most of our revenues from a relatively small number of distributors and manufacturers.  The loss of a strategic relationship with a customer or a decline in demand for a manufacturing customer’s products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We have an ongoing effort to increase systems capabilities, improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce labor costs, reduce time needed to produce an order, and minimize investment in inventory.  These include the use of automated assembly equipment for new and existing products and use of larger molds and molding machines.  In 2006, we centralized our proprietary molding in Salt Lake City and expanded our production facility in Mexico, which took over the majority of our manual assembly previously done in Salt Lake City.  In July 2010, we began an additional expansion of our production facility in Mexico that will be completed in 2010.  In July 2009, we purchased land in Slovakia and in the third quarter of 2009, we started construction of an assembly plant that will serve our European product distribution.  We expect this plant to be operational in late 2010.  We may establish additional production facilities outside the U.S.  There is no assurance that we will achieve success in establishing manufacturing facilities outside the U.S.

We distribute products through three distribution channels. Product revenues for each distribution channel were as follows:

Sales to international customers do not include bulk CLAVE products sold to Hospira in the U.S. but subsequently used in products exported by Hospira.  Those sales are included in sales to medical product manufacturers. Other sales to Hospira for destinations outside the U.S. are included in sales to international customers.

With the completion of our purchase of the commercial rights and the physical assets of Hospira’s critical care line in August 2009, we began selling critical care products in September 2009 to domestic and international distributors and through direct domestic and international sales instead of to Hospira.  As a result, we expect to continue to see a shift in sales from medical product manufacturers to domestic and international distributors and direct sales.

Quarter-to-quarter and six month to six month comparisons: We present summarized income statement data in Part I, Item 1- Financial Statements. The following table shows, for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the three and six months ended 2010 and 2009, the percentages of each income statement caption in relation to total revenues.

Quarterly results:  The healthcare business in the United States is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and activity tends to diminish somewhat in the summer months of June, July and August, when illness is less frequent than in winter months and patients tend to postpone elective procedures. This typically causes seasonal fluctuations in our business. In addition, we can experience fluctuations in net sales as a result of variations in the ordering patterns of our largest customers, which may be driven more by production scheduling and their inventory levels, and less by seasonality. Our expenses often do not fluctuate in the same manner as net sales, which may cause fluctuations in operating income that are disproportionate to fluctuations in our revenue.

Quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009

Revenues were $68.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $53.4 million in the second quarter of 2009, a $15.5 million or 29% increase.

Distribution channels:  Net U.S. sales to Hospira in the second quarter of 2010 were $26.2 million, compared to net sales of $31.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of 18%.  The $5.6 million decrease was primarily due to $9.9 million in decreased standard and custom critical care sales, partially offset by $1.7 million in increased CLAVE sales and $1.5 million in increased custom infusion set sales.  The decreased standard and custom critical care sales to Hospira were primarily related to our

Table of Contents

acquisition of the critical care assets from Hospira.  As a result of this acquisition, which closed on August 31, 2009, we no longer sell critical care products to Hospira.  The increases in CLAVE and custom infusion set sales were from higher unit sales due to increased market share through Hospira.  In addition, we have been coordinating with Hospira to ship extra CLAVE product to help Hospira in preparation for potential additional business due to market conditions.  Excluding critical care products, we continue to expect moderate growth in sales to Hospira for 2010 from 2009, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Net sales to domestic distributors/direct in the second quarter of 2010 (including Canada) were $25.2 million compared to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 136%.  The $14.5 million increase was primarily from $10.7 million in new standard critical care sales, $2.4 million in new custom critical care sales and $1.0 million in increased custom infusion set sales.  As a result of our purchase of Hospira’s critical care line, we ceased selling critical care products to Hospira and began selling the critical care products directly to distributors and through direct sales in September 2009. The increase in custom infusion set sales was due to higher unit volume sales.  We expect increases in domestic distributor sales for 2010 compared to 2009, principally from growth in custom products and new critical care product sales, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Net sales to international customers (excluding Canada) were $16.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 65%.  The $6.4 million increase was primarily from $3.2 million in new standard critical care sales, $0.8 million in new custom critical care sales, $0.9 million in increased CLAVE sales and $0.9 million increase in custom infusion set sales.  The CLAVE and custom infusion set sales increases are from increased unit volume due to increased market share and demographic growth.  We expect increases in international customer sales for 2010, primarily from growth in CLAVE, custom infusion sets and new critical care product sales, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Product and other revenue:  Net sales of CLAVE products increased from $21.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $23.7 million in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 11%.  The $2.4 million increase was primarily from higher U.S. Hospira sales and higher international sales from increased market share and demographic growth.  In addition, we have been coordinating with Hospira to ship extra CLAVE product to help Hospira in preparation for potential additional business due to market conditions.  We expect increases in CLAVE product sales for 2010 compared to 2009, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Net sales of custom products, which include custom infusion, custom oncology products and custom critical care products, were $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 28%.  The $5.1 million increase was primarily comprised of increased sales of custom infusion sets of $3.4 million and increased custom critical care product sales of $1.5 million.  The unit growth in custom infusion sets was primarily due to the conversion by certain of our customers from a competitor’s standard sets to our custom systems.  The unit growth in custom critical care products was due to higher unit sales and a higher average selling price since we are now selling directly to the distributor or customer instead of to Hospira, an OEM.  We expect increases in custom product and custom infusion set sales from increased unit volume for 2010 compared to 2009.  We expect increases in custom critical care sales from increased unit sales at a higher average selling price for 2010 compared to 2009. In each case, however, there can be no assurance that the expectations will be realized.

Standard critical care product sales were $13.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 72%.  The $5.8 million increase was due to higher sales to domestic and international distributors and through direct sales in the second quarter of 2010 compared to sales to Hospira in the second quarter of 2009.  We expect increased sales for 2010 compared to 2009 because of higher sales through distributors and through direct sales than to Hospira, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Our standard oncology product sales were $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.  The $1.0 million increase was from higher unit sales in all our distribution channels.

Other revenue consists of license, royalty and revenue share income and was approximately $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.  We may receive other license fees or royalties in the future for the use of our technology.  There is no assurance as to amounts or timing of any future payments, or whether such payments will be received.

Gross margins for the second quarters of 2010 and 2009 were 47% and 48%, respectively.  The gross margin in the second quarter of 2010 decreased by one percent from higher freight costs and low margins on certain critical care products that include temporary costs associated with transitioning the manufacturing of these products from Hospira to us.  These unfavorable costs were partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies at our factories.

We estimate our gross margin for 2010 will approximate 44-45%; however, there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $19.4 million and 28% of revenues in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $16.5 million and 31% of revenues in the second quarter of 2009.  The $2.9 million increase was primarily from increased sales compensation and benefits of $1.7 million, higher sales and marketing promotional costs of $1.5 million, including $1.3 million in higher dealer fees and group purchasing organization fees which were primarily from critical care sales and our agreement with Premier, and start-up costs for our Slovakia plant of $0.7 million, partially offset by $1.1 million in lower legal expenses.  The increase in compensation and benefits is primarily a result of the expansion of our sales workforce by 40 employees from June 2009 to June 2010 for our critical care product line as well as growth in other product lines.  The decrease in legal expenses is primarily from lower patent litigation costs.  We expect SG&A for 2010 to be approximately 28.0-28.5% of revenue, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Research and development expenses (“R&D”) were $1.0 million and 2% of revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $0.6 million and 1% of revenue in the second quarter of 2009.  We expect R&D for 2010 to be approximately 1.5% of revenue, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Other income was $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Income taxes were accrued at an estimated annual effective tax rate of 35% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 36% in the second quarter of 2009.  The 2009 rate differed from the statutory corporate rate of 35% principally because of the effect of foreign and state income taxes, tax credits, tax exempt income and deductions for domestic production activities. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 35% for 2010.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009

Revenues were $133.2 million in the first half of 2010, compared to $107.7 million in the first half of 2009.

Distribution channels:  Net U.S. sales to Hospira in the first half of 2010 were $50.2 million, compared to net sales of $66.6 million in the first half of 2009, a decrease of 25%.  The $16.4 million decrease was primarily due to $21.2 million in decreased standard and custom critical care sales, partially offset by $2.7 million in increased CLAVE sales and $1.3 million in increased custom infusion set sales.  The decreased standard and custom critical care sales to Hospira were primarily related to our acquisition of the critical care assets from Hospira.  As a result of this acquisition, which closed on August 31, 2009, we no longer sell critical care products to Hospira.  The increases in CLAVE sales and custom infusion set sales were from higher unit sales primarily due to increased market share through Hospira.

Net sales to domestic distributors/direct in the first half of 2010 (including Canada) were $48.6 million compared to $18.9 million in the first half of 2009, an increase of 157%.  The $29.7 million increase was primarily from $20.1 million in new standard critical care sales, $4.6 million in new custom critical care sales and $2.7 million in increased custom infusion set sales.  As a result of our purchase of Hospira’s critical care line, we ceased selling critical care products to Hospira and began selling the critical care products directly to distributors and through direct sales in September 2009. The increase in custom infusion set sales was due to higher unit volume sales.

Net sales to international customers (excluding Canada) were $31.9 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $20.1 million in the first half of 2009, an increase of 59%.  The $11.8 million increase was primarily from $6.4 million in new standard critical care sales, $2.0 million in new custom critical care sales, $1.6 million in increased CLAVE sales and $1.3 million of increased custom infusion set sales, partially offset by $1.7 million in lower custom oncology sales.  The CLAVE and custom infusion set increases are from increased unit volume due to increased market share and demographic growth.  The decrease in custom oncology sales was due to lower unit volume sales.

Product and other revenue:  Net sales of CLAVE products increased from $42.5 million in the first half of 2009 to $47.1 million in the first half of 2010, an increase of 11%.  The $4.6 million increase was primarily from higher U.S. Hospira sales and higher international sales from increased market share and demographic growth.

Net sales of custom products, were $43.7 million in the first half of 2010 compared to $37.0 million in the first half of 2009, an increase of 18%.  The $6.7 million increase was primarily comprised of increased sales of custom infusion sets of $5.3 million and increased custom critical care product sales of $2.4 million, partially offset by $1.0 million in lower custom oncology set sales.  The unit growth in custom infusion sets was primarily due to the conversion by certain of our customers from a competitor’s standard sets to our custom systems.  The unit growth in custom critical care products was due to higher unit sales and a higher average selling price since we are now selling directly to the distributor or customer instead of to Hospira, an OEM.  The decrease in custom oncology is due to lower unit sales.

Standard critical care product sales were $26.5 million in the first half of 2010 compared to $17.2 million in the first half of 2009, an increase of 54%.  The $9.3 million increase was due to higher sales to domestic and international distributors and through direct sales in the first half of 2010 compared to sales to Hospira in the first half of 2009.

Our standard oncology product sales were $3.6 million in the first half of 2010 compared to $1.9 million in the first half of 2009.  The $1.7 million increase was from higher sales in all our distribution channels.

Other revenue consists of license, royalty and revenue share income and was approximately $0.3 million in the first half of 2010 and 2009.

Gross margins for the first half of 2010 and 2009 were 44% and 49%, respectively.  Higher freight costs and unfavorable exchange rates with the Mexican Peso contributed to two percentage points of the margin decrease.  The margin was also unfavorably impacted by sales of lower margin critical care products that include temporary costs associated with transitioning the manufacturing of these products from Hospira to us. These unfavorable costs were partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies at our factories.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $39.0 million and 29% of revenues in the first half of 2010, compared with $31.6 million and 30% of revenues in the first half of 2009.  The $7.4 million increase was primarily from increased sales compensation and benefits of $3.7 million, higher sales travel expenses of $0.9 million, higher sales and marketing promotional costs of $2.6 million, including $2.0 million in higher dealer fees and group purchasing organization fees which were primarily from critical care sales and our agreement with Premier, start-up costs associated with our Slovakia plant of $1.0 million, increased depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.6 million, and higher stock compensation expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by $1.8 million in lower legal expenses.  The increase in sales compensation and benefits and travel expenses is primarily a result of the expansion of our sales workforce by 40 employees from June 2009 to June 2010 for our critical care products and growth in other products.  The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily from the amortization of critical care intangible assets from the 2009 critical care purchase.   The decrease in legal expenses is primarily from lower patent litigation costs.

Research and development expenses (“R&D”) were $1.9 million and 1% of revenue in the first half of 2010 compared to $1.4 million and 1% of revenue in the first half of 2009.

Other income was $0.3 million in the first half of 2010 compared to $0.6 million in the first half of 2009.

Income taxes were accrued at an estimated annual effective tax rate of 35% in the first half of 2010 compared to 36% in the first half of 2009.  The 2009 rate differed from the statutory corporate rate of 35% principally because of the effect of foreign and state income taxes, tax credits, tax exempt income and deductions for domestic production activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first half of 2010, our cash, cash equivalents and investment securities decreased by $25.1 million.

Operating Activities: Our cash provided by operating activities tends to correlate to our operating results; however, it is subject to fluctuations, principally from the impact of integrating new locations from acquisitions, changes in net income, accounts receivable, inventories and the timing of tax payments.

During the first half of 2010, our cash provided by operations was $17.5 million, which was mainly comprised of net income of $12.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $8.6 million, stock compensation expense of $1.7 million and bond premium amortization of $1.0 million, partially offset by changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities:  During the first half of 2010, cash provided by investing activities was $20.1 million.  This was comprised of net investment sales of $30.5 million and cash received from the sale of a building of $0.9 million, partially offset by cash paid for purchases of property and equipment of $11.3 million which were primarily for building construction and equipment purchases for our Slovakia plant and additional molding and machinery in our U.S. operations.

We estimate that our capital expenditures in 2010 will approximate $18.0 million to $22.0 million.  This includes an estimated $8.0 million for our manufacturing plant for our custom products in Slovakia and purchases for a new sterilizer and other machinery and equipment in our Slovakia plant.  We also estimate approximately $10.0 to $14.0 million for the expansion of our manufacturing facility in Mexico and in capital expenditures for various molds, machinery and equipment used in our manufacturing operations in the United States and in Mexico.  We anticipate using our existing cash position to fund these capital expenditures.  Amounts of spending are estimates and actual spending may substantially differ from those amounts.

Financing Activities:  Our cash used by financing activities in the first half of 2010 was $27.7 million.  Stock repurchases in the first half of 2010 were $28.6 million.  Cash provided by stock options and the employee stock purchase plan, including tax benefits, was $0.9 million from the sale of 32,964 shares.  The tax benefits from the exercise of stock options fluctuates based principally on when employees choose to exercise their vested stock options.

In the second quarter of 2010, we completed our share repurchase program originally announced in July 2008 and amended in October 2009, by our Board of Directors. In July 2010, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan to purchase up to $40.0 million of our common stock.

We have a substantial cash and investment security position generated from profitable operations and stock sales, principally from the exercise of employee stock options.  We maintain this position to fund our growth, meet increasing working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, and to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that may arise.  Our primary investment goal is principal preservation, as further described below in Part I, Item3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investment securities along with funds expected to be generated from future operations will provide us with sufficient funds to finance our current operations for the next twelve months.  In the event that we experience illiquidity in our investment securities, downturns or cyclical fluctuations in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated or if we fail to achieve anticipated revenue and expense levels, we may need to obtain or seek alternative sources of capital or financing, and we can provide no assurances that the terms of such capital or financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law and to indemnify customers as to certain intellectual property matters related to sales of our products.  There is no maximum limit on the indemnification that may be required under these agreements.  Although we can provide no assurances, we have never incurred, nor do we expect to incur, any material liabilities associated with this indemnification.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement with Hospira, we have agreed to indemnify Hospira and its affiliates from certain liabilities arising out of (i) inaccuracies of our representations and breaches of our warranties; (ii) defaults of our covenants or obligations; (iii) certain assumed obligations; and (iv) use of the acquired assets after the date of closing.  Most of Hospira’s rights to indemnification will terminate eighteen months after the closing of the transaction on August 31, 2009, except for liabilities arising out of certain provisions of the asset purchase agreement and liabilities for which notice was previously provided.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to indemnify Hospira for any liabilities for which Hospira is obligated to indemnify us or our affiliates under the MCDA.  Although we can provide no assurances, we do not expect to incur material liabilities arising out of the indemnification provision of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations, at June 30, 2010, of approximately the amount set forth in the table below. This amount excludes purchase orders for goods and services for current delivery. The majority of our purchase orders are blanket purchase orders that represent an estimated forecast of goods and services. We do not have a commitment liability on the blanket purchase orders. Since we do not have the ability to separate out blanket purchase orders from non-blanket purchase orders for goods and services for current delivery, amounts related to such purchase orders are excluded from the table below.  We have excluded from the table below pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 (formerly FIN 48), an interpretation of ASC 740-10 (formerly SFAS 109), a noncurrent liability of $5.3 million due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of future cash outflows associated with the liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We had a portfolio of corporate preferred stocks, federal-tax exempt state and municipal government debt securities and certificates of deposit of $25.5 million as of June 30, 2010.  The securities are all “investment grade”.  As of June 30, 2010, $17.4 million of our investment securities were invested in pre-refunded and non-pre-refunded municipal securities, $0.8 million were invested in one “auction rate security” and $7.3 million were invested in certificates of deposit.  The pre-refunded municipal securities are fully escrowed by U.S. government Treasury bills with low market risk.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we had no change in market value for our auction rate security.

Our future earnings are subject to potential increase or decrease because of changes in short-term interest rates. Generally, each one-percentage point change in the discount rate will cause our overall yield to change by two-thirds to three-quarters of a percentage point, depending upon the relative mix of federal-tax-exempt securities in our portfolio and market conditions specific to the securities in which we invest.  Two-thirds to three-quarters of a percentage point change in our earnings on investment securities would create a change of approximately $0.4 million to investment income based on the investment securities balance at December 31, 2009.

Foreign currency exchange risk for financial instruments on our balance sheet, which consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, is not significant to our financial statements. Sales from the U.S. and Mexico to foreign distributors are all denominated in U.S. dollars. We have manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities in several countries and we conduct business transactions denominated in various foreign currencies, principally the Euro and Mexican Peso. A 10% change in the conversion of the Mexican Peso to the U.S. dollar from the average exchange rate we experienced in 2009 and our manufacturing spending from 2009 would impact our cost of goods sold in 2009 by approximately $1.6 million.  Cash and receivables in those countries have been insignificant and are generally offset by accounts payable and accruals in the same foreign currency, except for our European operations, where our net Euro asset position at June 30, 2010 and 2009 were approximately €10.9 million and €11.5 million, respectively.  We expect that in the future, with the growth of our European distribution operation, that net Euro denominated instruments will continue to increase.

Our exposure to commodity price changes relates primarily to certain manufacturing operations that use resin. We manage our exposure to changes in those prices through our procurement and supply chain management practices and the effect of price changes has not been material to date. We are not dependent upon any single source for any of our principal raw materials and we believe all such materials and products are readily available.  Based on our average price for resin in fiscal year 2009, a 10% increase to the price of resin would result in approximately a $0.6 million change in material cost in 2009.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We have not been required to pay any penalty to the IRS for failing to make disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose.

In an action filed July 27, 2007 entitled ICU Medical, Inc. v. RyMed Technologies, Inc. (“RyMed”), in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, we alleged that RyMed infringes certain of ICU’s patents through the manufacture and sale of certain products, including its InVision-Plus valves.  We seek monetary damages and injunctive relief and intend to vigorously pursue this matter.  Trial has been scheduled for December 13, 2010.

We are from time to time involved in various other legal proceedings, either as a defendant or plaintiff, most of which are routine litigation in the normal course of business. We believe that the resolution of the legal proceedings in which we are involved will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In evaluating an investment in our common stock, investors should consider carefully, among other things, the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as the information contained in this Quarterly Report and our other reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.  There have been no material changes in the risk factors as previously disclosed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In July 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a program to purchase $40.0 million of our common stock.  In October 2009, our Board of Directors increased the amount that may be purchased under this plan by $15.0 million, bringing the total authorized amount that may be purchased under the plan to $55.0 million. As of the June 30, 2010, all but $54,000 of the $55.0 million authorized had been used.  This plan has no expiration date.

In July 2010, our Board of Directors approved a new common stock purchase plan to purchase $40.0 million of our common stock.  This plan has no expiration date.
