Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in and during this presentation are "forward-looking statements", including those that refer to management's plans and expectations
for future operations, prospects and financial condition. One can identify these forward-looking statements by use of words such as "strategy," "expects,"
"plans," "anticipates," "believes," "will," "continues," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "goals," "targets" and other words of similar meaning. One can also
identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such statements are based on the current expectations of the
management of IsoTis, Inc. only. Reliance should not be placed on these statements because, by their nature, they are subject to known and unknown
risks and can be affected by factors that are beyond the control of IsoTis. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations due to a number
of risk factors and uncertainties, including but not limited to a competitive sales and marketing environment, the timely commencement and success of
IsoTis' clinical trials and research endeavors, delays in receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory approvals (e.g. EMEA, CE),
market acceptance of IsoTis' products, effectiveness of IsoTis' distribution channels, development of competing therapies and/or technologies, the terms
of any future strategic alliances, the need for additional capital, and the inability to obtain, or meet, conditions imposed for required governmental and
regulatory approvals and consents. For a more detailed description of the risk factors and uncertainties affecting IsoTis, refer to the annual report on form
20-F for IsoTis S.A. for the year ended December 31, 2006 and other reports that it and IsoTis, Inc. file from time to time with the SEC. This
communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
A special stockholder meeting will be held on October 11, 2007 to obtain stockholder approval of the proposed transaction. IsoTis has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed to its stockholders a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents in connection with
the special stockholder meeting for the proposed transaction. IsoTis stockholders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement and other relevant
materials because they contain important information about IsoTis, Integra and the proposed transaction. Investors may obtain a free copy of these
materials and other documents filed by IsoTis with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, at IsoTis' website at
www.isotis.com or by sending a written request to IsoTis at 2 Goodyear, Irvine, California 92618, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.
IsoTis and its directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in soliciting
proxies from its stockholders in favor of the proposed merger. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered to
be participants in the solicitation of IsoTis' stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction is set forth in IsoTis' definitive proxy statement for its
special meeting. Additional information regarding these individuals and any interest they have in the proposed transaction is set forth in the definitive
proxy statement on file with the SEC.
