MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA , a developer of new generation robotic technology for accurate and stable control of catheter movement in 3D during cardiac procedures, today reported its business highlights and financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2007.

Recent Business Highlights

--  System Sales:  Recognized revenue on six Sensei? Robotic Catheter
    Systems sold during the fourth quarter, bringing total worldwide system
    placements to fifteen, including nine in the United States and six in
    Europe.
--  Clinical Case Count:  Clinical cases performed during the fourth
    quarter increased approximately 50% compared to cases performed during the
    third quarter, bringing total case count, including pre-commercial
    experience, to approximately 350 cases.
--  Engineering Milestones:  The company's CoHesion? 3D Visualization
    Module -- a module integrating the Sensei system with the Ensite? system
    from St. Jude Medical -- has been installed on a limited release basis in
    Europe; clearance for the integrated system is currently under review by
    the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
--  Investing to Execute a Full Commercial Release in 2008: The company
    instituted internal and external measures to help meet future demand,
    including investments in process improvements and capacity expansion and
    agreements with contract manufacturers to assist in the production of the
    Sensei system and Artisan control catheter.  The company has also
    significantly increased headcount in its sales, marketing, clinical and
    service organizations.
    

"I am pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter and throughout all of 2007," said Frederic Moll, M.D., founder and chief executive officer of Hansen Medical. "Since receiving regulatory approval for the Sensei system in May of 2007, I have been encouraged by the demand for our technology. Clinical experience with the Sensei system is ramping quickly and we are looking forward to commencing studies to further validate the efficacy of our platform. We believe the investments initiated during this past year to expand our manufacturing capabilities will enable us to transition to a full-scale commercial release and to expand our market presence in 2008 and beyond," concluded Dr. Moll.

2007 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $4.2 million. During the quarter, the company recorded revenue on the sale of four Sensei systems in the United States and two Sensei systems in Europe in addition to shipments of Artisan control catheters.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $4.2 million and included non-cash stock compensation expense of $139,000. Gross profit for the quarter was nearly break-even. During the fourth quarter of 2007 cost of goods sold was impacted by higher direct labor costs, yield losses and costs to increase capacity and improve yields. The company expects gross profit to improve significantly during 2008 as revenue grows and the company realizes improvements in operating efficiencies.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $494,000, were $5.1 million, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2006, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $289,000. Prior to the second quarter of 2007, the company was in the development stage and all manufacturing expenses, including provisions for inventory valuation, were included in research and development expenses. Beginning with commercialization in the second quarter of 2007, the company's manufacturing expenses were included in cost of goods sold. Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 included development-stage manufacturing expenses of $0.7 million and a credit to adjust inventory valuation of $0.4 million. The remaining change in research and development expenses was due primarily to increased prototype and material expenses and increased compensation expenses related to higher headcount necessary for the development of our Sensei system, and the disposable Artisan catheters for the EP market and other future applications in addition to increased non-cash stock compensation expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.4 million, were $7.9 million, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2006, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $853,000. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to investments made to execute the company's commercialization strategy and included increased compensation expenses related to higher headcount necessary to support our continued growth, legal costs for the development of our intellectual property portfolio and other IP and litigation-related legal costs, costs associated with being a public company and increased non-cash stock compensation expenses.

In-process research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $11.4 million. There were no comparable expenses incurred during the same period in 2006. In November 2007, the company completed its acquisition of AorTx, Inc., an early stage company developing heart valves which may be delivered minimally invasively through the skin and blood vessels. The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of assets since the operations of AorTx did not meet the definition of a business as defined by the prevailing accounting standards. As such, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values during the fourth quarter. In addition, all of the acquisition costs were allocated among the relative fair values of the assets acquired and no goodwill was recorded as part of the transaction. The transaction included the acquisition of in-process research and development costs of $11.4 million, which were expensed immediately.

Other income, net, for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $545,000, compared to $410,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher interest income related to higher average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as a result of the completion of the company's initial public offering on November 15, 2006.

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2007, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $2.0 million, was $23.9 million, or $(1.10) per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 21.7 million. This compares to a net loss of $7.7 million, or $(0.76) per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 10.2 million, for the same period in 2006, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.1 million. Included in the net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were expenses associated with the acquisition of AorTx totaling $11.4 million, or $(0.52) per basic and diluted share.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2007 were $48.6 million, compared to $89.9 million as of December 31, 2006. The decrease is due mainly to the company's normal operating expenses and $5.1 million related to the AorTx acquisition.

2007 Full-Year Financial Results

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $10.1 million. The company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $8.0 million, was $50.4 million, or $(2.33) per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 21.6 million. This compares to a net loss of $26.0 million, or $(7.09) per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 3.7 million, for the same period last year, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $2.7 million. Included in the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 were expenses associated with the acquisition of AorTx totaling $11.4 million, or $(0.53) per basic and diluted share.
