NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Align Technology, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results for an
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full fiscal year or any future interim periods. These interim unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations, for the year ended December 31, 2000, contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).


2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

In January 2001, the Company completed an initial public offering of 10
million shares of common stock. In March 2001, the underwriters exercised an
overallotment option for 628,706 shares. Net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $126.2 million.

As of January 25, 2001, because the Company has issued 3,591,458 shares of
common stock in excess of the 3,331,978 shares of common stock permitted, as
defined in the certificate of incorporation, the Company is required to issue
790,342 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the preferred stock in
addition to 419,700 shares as of December 31, 2000. As a result, the Company
recorded a deemed dividend based on the fair value of the common stock at the
commitment date of $11,191,000 related to the preferred stock sold and a charge
to interest expense of $1,803,000 for the beneficial conversion feature embedded
in convertible subordinated notes, that previously converted, in January 2001.

4. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing the net loss
available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of
diluted net loss per share excludes potential shares of common stock if their
effect is anti-dilutive. Potential common stock consists of common stock
subject to repurchase,

incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator (net loss available to
common stockholders) and the denominator (number of shares) used in the basic
and diluted net loss per share calculations (in thousands, except per share data
(unaudited)):

5. CONTINGENCIES

The Company was involved in a patent infringement proceeding with a plaintiff
asserting infringement of two of its patents. On June 30, 2000, the Company
entered into a stipulation of dismissal with the plaintiff whereby the plaintiff
agreed not to recommence a suit against the Company for two years with respect
to the disputed patents. Pursuant to the agreement, if a patent is subsequently
issued to the plaintiff and the plaintiff believes the Company is infringing it,
then the plaintiff may commence suit after one year from the effective date of
the agreement and include in such action claims involving the two previously
disputed patents. If any such action is successful, it could result in a
significant monetary damages judgment against the Company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contains descriptions of our expectations regarding future trends
affecting our business. These forward-looking statements and other forward-
looking statements made elsewhere in this document are made in reliance upon the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Please read the section below titled "Factors Affecting Future Results" to
review conditions which we believe could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements are identified by words such as "believes", "anticipates",
"expects", "intends", "plans", "will", "may" and similar expressions. In
addition, any statements that refer to our plans, expectations, strategies or
other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward looking
statements.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Overview

From our inception in April 1997 to July 2000, we were engaged in the design,
manufacture and marketing of the Invisalign System, a proprietary new system for
treating malocclusion, or the misalignment of teeth. In July 1999, we commenced
commercial sales of our Invisalign System. Prior to July 1999, we devoted nearly
all our resources to developing our software and manufacturing processes,
clinical trials of the Invisalign System and building our sales force, customer
support and management teams. We exited the development stage in July 2000.

The Invisalign System has two components: ClinCheck and Aligners. ClinCheck is
an Internet-based application that allows orthodontists to simulate treatment,
in three dimensions, by modeling two-week stages of tooth movement. Aligners are
thin, clear plastic, removable dental appliances that are manufactured in a
series to correspond to each two-week stage of the ClinCheck simulation.
Aligners are customized to perform the treatment prescribed for an individual
patient by an orthodontist using ClinCheck.

In the third quarter of 1999, we recognized revenue for the first time from
the sale of the Invisalign System and related dental impression machines
manufactured by ESPE America, Inc. We expect to sell dental impression machines
to an orthodontist only once, if at all. Accordingly, sales of such machines are
expected to represent a lower proportion of our revenue in the future.
Substantially all our revenue is generated in the U.S. and Canada, which, taken
together, we regard as our domestic market.

While our expansion outside of our domestic market is still in an exploratory
stage, we do incur substantial operating costs outside of our domestic market.
Two of our key production steps are performed in operations located outside of
the U.S. In our facilities in Pakistan, technicians use a sophisticated,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 9
internally developed computer-modeling program to prepare electronic treatment
plans, which are transmitted via the Internet back to the U.S. These files form
the basis of our ClinCheck product and are used for the manufacture of Aligner
molds. In addition, a third party manufacturer in Mexico fabricates and performs
finishing work on completed Aligners and ships the completed products to our
customers. Our costs associated with these operations are denominated in
Pakistani rupees and Mexican pesos. Our reliance on international operations
exposes us to risks and uncertainties that may affect our business or results of
operations including, among others, difficulties in staffing and managing
international operations, controlling quality of manufacture, political, social
and economic instability, interruptions and limitations in telecommunication
services, product or material transportation delays or disruption, and trade
restrictions and changes in tariffs. However, we believe these risks are
mitigated in Pakistan by the fact that our operations there do not involve the
shipping or manufacturing of any physical products, and in Mexico by the fact
that our operations there are governed under the provisions of the North
American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.

As of March 31, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of $140.6 million. We
expect to have net losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the
next 18 months due, in part, to our national consumer advertising campaign, the
expansion of manufacturing capacity and continued research and development
efforts.

We earn revenue primarily from the sale of our Invisalign System. Our revenue
consists of the ClinCheck fee and the charge for each Aligner. We charge
orthodontists a fixed fee for the treatment simulation viewed via ClinCheck on
our website, Invisalign.com. This fee is invoiced when the orthodontist orders
ClinCheck prior to the production of Aligners. In addition, we charge
orthodontists a fee for Aligners as we ship them.

We also earn ancillary revenue from the sale to orthodontists of dental
impression machines. To facilitate adoption of the Invisalign System, we sell
machines to some of our customers to assist them in preparing the impressions
required for submission of Invisalign cases. These machines, which cost
approximately $600 each, are manufactured by ESPE America, Inc. Many of our
customers have adequate dental impression making equipment or pay general
dentists to take impressions on their behalf and, as such, do not purchase an
impression machine from us.

Historically, we have shipped Aligners in batches. The first batch, which
typically represented the first several months of treatment, was produced once
the prescribing orthodontist approved ClinCheck. Thereafter, Aligners were sent
at approximately six month intervals until completion of treatment. In mid-
February 2001, for cases where ClinCheck was approved, we began shipping all the
Aligners in a single batch. In addition, we began accelerating the shipments of
Aligners for cases where ClinCheck was approved prior to mid- February 2001.
Fees from the sale of ClinCheck and Aligners, taken together, are treated as
revenues from a single System. For cases where ClinCheck was approved prior to
mid-February, revenues associated with a given case and are recognized ratably
as batches of Aligners are shipped to the orthodontist. For orders placed
subsequent to notification of our change to single batch shipments, all of the
revenues associated with a given case, including ClinCheck fees, will be
recognized at the time the Aligners are shipped. Payment terms will range from
30 days from case acceptance to net 90 days from Aligner shipment.

The costs of producing the ClinCheck treatment plan, which are incurred prior
to the production of Aligners, are capitalized and recognized as related revenue
is earned. In the cases where we expect a net loss, the entire loss is
recognized immediately.


Deferred Compensation

In connection with the grant of stock options to employees and non-employees,
we recorded deferred stock-based compensation as a component of stockholders'
equity (deficit). Deferred stock-based compensation for options granted to
employees is the difference between the fair value of our common stock on the
date such options were granted and their exercise price. For stock options
granted to non-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 10
employees, the fair value of the options, estimated using the Black-Scholes
valuation model, is initially recorded on the date of grant. As the non-employee
options become exercisable, we revalue the remaining unvested options, with the
change in fair value from period to period represented as a change in the
deferred compensation charge. This stock-based compensation is amortized as
charges to operations over the vesting periods of the options. We recorded
amortization of deferred compensation of $5.7 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 and $666,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.


Results of Operations

Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased to $7.7
million compared to $629,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Sales of our
Invisalign System accounted for $7.3 million of revenues for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 compared to $450,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The
balance of our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
represented sales of our dental impression machines. We expect to sell a dental
impression machine to an orthodontist only once, if at all. Accordingly, sales
of our Invisalign Systems are expected to continue to represent substantially
all of our revenue in the future.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues includes the salaries of staff involved in
production, the cost of materials and packaging used in production and shipping,
depreciation on the capital equipment used in the production process and an
allocation of the cost of facilities. Cost of revenues for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 increased to $11.6 million compared to $2.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. Cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31,
2001 includes $2.9 million of unabsorbed manufacturing costs due to a
substantial increase in our manufacturing capacity in 2000. As we employ this
manufacturing capacity to produce higher volumes of the Invisalign System,
combined with the resultant manufacturing efficiencies and our recent price
increase, we expect to record positive gross margins. We currently believe it
will be at least 9 months before we are able to achieve positive gross margins.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include sales force
compensation together with expense of professional marketing, principally,
conducting training workshops and market surveys, advertising and attending
orthodontic trade shows. Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 increased to $16.7 million compared to $3.4 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. This increase resulted primarily from increases
in advertising expenses of $9.0 million and increases in headcount and related
expenses of $1.4 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses include costs
for the compensation of administrative personnel, outside consulting services,
facilities, legal expenses and general corporate expenses. General and
administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased to $6.9
million compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 primarily
due to increased headcount and administrative costs relating to being a public
company. We expect administrative expenses to continue to increase in the
future to support expanding business activities and additional administrative
costs related to being a public company.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses include
the costs associated with software engineering, the costs of designing,
developing and testing our products and the conduct of both clinical and post-
marketing trials. Research and development is expensed as incurred. Research
and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased to $3.9
million compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, primarily
due to an increase in headcount and related expenses and increased expenses
related to outsourced software development.

Interest and other income (expense), net. Net interest and other expense for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased to $533,000 compared to $32,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This increase, which was partially offset by
interest income on marketable securities, resulted primarily from non-cash
interest expense of $1.8 million related to the beneficial conversion feature
embedded in convertible subordinated notes.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 11
Dividend related to beneficial conversion feature of preferred stock.  In
January 2001, we recorded the final dividend related to the beneficial
conversion feature of preferred stock of $11.2 million, which represents the
difference between the conversion price and the fair value per share of the
common stock on the commitment date for Series D preferred stock. This amount
has been reflected as a preferred stock dividend in the March 31, 2001 condensed
consolidated financial statements.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from the sale of
our common and preferred stock, equipment leases and bridge loans. As of March
31, 2001, we had $119.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities and an accumulated deficit of $140.6 million. Additionally, we have
$8.9 million of restricted cash of which $8.4 million is held in an escrow
account to fund our national advertising campaign.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $31.7 million and $9.0 million
for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In each of these
periods net cash used by operating activities consisted primarily of net
operating losses, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization
and amortization of deferred stock-based compensation. Additionally, in the
quarter ended March 31, 2001, operating losses were partially offset by non-cash
interest expense derived from a beneficial conversion feature on a convertible
subordinated note, subsequently converted to Series D preferred stock.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $42.1 million for quarter ended
March 31, 2001 versus net cash provided by investing activities of $2.0 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, net
cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of property
and equipment and marketable securities offset by sales and maturities of
marketable securities and a decrease in restricted cash. For the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, net cash provided by investing activities consisted primarily of
maturities and sales of marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $127.5 million and $764,000
for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In January 2001,
we completed our initial public offering of 10 million shares of common stock.
In March 2001, the underwriters exercised an overallotment option for 628,706
shares. Net proceeds to us were approximately $126.2 million.

We expect that our operating expenses will increase with an overall increase
in the level of our business activity, including increased sales and the related
costs of products sold, our national consumer advertising campaign, continuing
efforts to expand our manufacturing capacity, research and development and other
costs. We expect the change of pattern of Aligner shipments in February 2001
will have a negligible effect on our cash flows. In addition, we may use cash to
fund acquisitions of complementary businesses or technologies. We believe the
net proceeds from the initial public offering will be sufficient to meet our
operating, working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the
next 12 months. Thereafter, we may find it necessary to obtain additional equity
or debt financing. In the event additional financing is required, we may not be
able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all.


FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Since we have a history of losses and negative operating cash flows, and we
expect our operating expenses to continue to increase, we may not achieve or
maintain profitability in the future.

We have incurred significant operating losses, negative operating cash flows
and have not achieved profitability. From inception through July 2000, we spent
significant funds in organizational and start-up activities, recruiting key
managers and employees, developing the Invisalign System and developing our
manufacturing and customer support resources. We also spent significant funds on
clinical trials and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 12
training programs to train orthodontists in the use of the Invisalign System. We
expect to have net losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the
next 18 months.

We intend to increase our operating expenses as we continue to:
. scale our manufacturing operations;
. develop new software and increase the automation of our manufacturing
processes;
. execute our national direct to consumer marketing campaign;
. increase the size of our sales force and orthodontist training staff;
. undertake quality assurance and improvement initiatives; and
. increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing
operations.

As a result, we will need to increase our revenue significantly, while
controlling our expenses, to achieve profitability. It is possible that we will
not achieve profitability, and even if we do achieve profitability, we may not
sustain or increase profitability in the future.

We have a limited operating history and expect our future financial results to
fluctuate significantly, which may cause our stock price to decline.

We were incorporated in April 1997 and have only recently begun selling our
Invisalign System in commercial quantities. Thus, we have a limited operating
history which makes an evaluation of our future prospects and your investment in
our stock difficult. In addition, we expect our future quarterly and annual
operating results to fluctuate as we increase our commercial sales. These
fluctuations could cause our stock price to decline. Some of the factors that
could cause our operating results to fluctuate include:

. changes in the timing of product orders;
. unanticipated delays in production caused by insufficient capacity or in
the introduction of new production processes;
. inaccurate forecasting of revenue, production and other operating costs;
and
. the development and marketing of directly competitive products by
potential competitors.

To respond to these and other factors, we may need to make business decisions
that could adversely affect our operating results. Most of our expenses, such as
employee compensation and lease payment obligations, are relatively fixed in the
short term. Moreover, our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations
regarding future revenue levels. As a result, if our revenue for a particular
period falls below our expectations, we may be unable to adjust spending quickly
enough to offset any unexpected shortfall in revenue growth or any decrease in
revenue levels.

Due to these and other factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons
of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our
results for any one quarter as an indication of our future performance.

We have limited product offerings, and if demand for our Invisalign System
declines or fails to develop as we expect, our revenue will decline.

We expect that revenue from the sale of our Invisalign System will continue to
account for a substantial portion of our total revenue. Continued and widespread
market acceptance of our System is critical to our future success. The
Invisalign System may not achieve market acceptance at the rate at which we
expect, or at all, which could reduce our revenue.

If orthodontists do not adopt our Invisalign System in sufficient numbers or as
rapidly as we anticipate, our operating results will be harmed.

As of March 31, 2001, approximately 2,900 orthodontists have submitted one or
more cases to us. Our success depends upon increasing acceptance by
orthodontists and dentists of the Invisalign System. The Invisalign System
requires orthodontists and their staff to undergo special training and learn to
interact with patients in new ways and to interact with us as a supplier. In
addition, because our Invisalign System has
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 13
only been in clinical testing since July 1997 and commercially available since
July 1999, orthodontists may be reluctant to adopt it until more historical
clinical results are available. Also, increasing adoption by orthodontists will
depend on factors such as the capability, safety, efficacy, ease of use, price,
quality and reliability of our products and our provision of effective sales
support, training and service. In the future, unanticipated poor clinical
performance of the Invisalign System could result in significant adverse
publicity and consequently in reduced acceptance by orthodontists. If our
Invisalign System does not achieve growing acceptance in the orthodontic and
dental communities, our operating results will be harmed.

If consumers do not adopt our Invisalign System in sufficient numbers or as
rapidly as we anticipate, our operating results will be harmed.

Our Invisalign System represents a significant change from traditional
orthodontic treatment, and patients may be reluctant to accept it or may not
find it preferable to conventional treatment. In addition, patients may not
comply with recommended treatment guidelines which could compromise the
effectiveness of their treatment. While we have generally received positive
feedback from both orthodontists and patients regarding our Invisalign System as
both an alternative to braces and as a clinical method for treatment of
malocclusion, our success will depend upon the rapid acceptance of our System by
the substantially larger number of potential patients to which we are now
actively marketing. We have had a limited number of complaints from patients and
prospective patients generally related to shipping delays and minor
manufacturing irregularities. Market acceptance will depend in part upon the
recommendations of dentists and orthodontists, as well as other factors
including effectiveness, safety, reliability, improved treatment aesthetics and
greater comfort and hygiene compared to conventional orthodontic products.
Furthermore, consumers may not respond to our direct marketing campaigns or we
may be unsuccessful in reaching our target audience. If consumers prove
unwilling to adopt our Invisalign System as rapidly or in the numbers that we
anticipate, our operating results will be harmed.

Our success depends in part on our proprietary technology and if we are unable
to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive
position may be harmed.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to maintain existing
intellectual property and to obtain and maintain further intellectual property
protection for our products, both in the U.S. and in other countries. Our
inability to do so could harm our competitive position. As of March 31, 2001, we
have two issued U.S. patents and 46 pending U.S. patent applications. We have
two foreign-issued patents and 111 pending foreign patent applications. We
intend to rely on our portfolio of issued and pending patent applications in the
U.S. and in other countries to protect a large part of our intellectual property
and our competitive position. However, our currently pending or future patent
filings may not issue as patents. Additionally, any patents issued to us may be
challenged, invalidated, held unenforceable, circumvented, or may not be
sufficiently broad to prevent third parties from producing competing products
similar in design to our products. In addition, protection afforded by foreign
patents may be more limited than that provided under U.S. patents and
intellectual property laws.

We also rely on protection of copyrights, trade secrets, know-how and
proprietary information. We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with
our employees, consultants and our collaborative partners upon commencement of a
relationship with us. However, these agreements may not provide meaningful
protection against the unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets or
other confidential information and adequate remedies may not exist if
unauthorized use or disclosure were to occur. Our inability to maintain the
proprietary nature of our technology through patents, copyrights or trade
secrets would impair our competitive advantages and could have a material
adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and future growth
prospects. In particular, a failure of our proprietary rights might allow
competitors to copy our technology, which could adversely affect pricing and
market share.

If we infringe the patents or proprietary rights of other parties, our ability
to grow our business will be severely limited.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 14
Extensive litigation over patents and other intellectual property rights is
common in the medical device industry. We have been sued for infringement of
another party's patent in the past and, while that action has been dismissed, we
may be the subject of patent or other litigation in the future.

In January 2000, Ormco Corporation filed suit against us asserting an
infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,447,432 and 5,683,243. The complaint sought
unspecified monetary damages and equitable relief. The complaint alleged that
the Invisalign System infringed certain claims of the two patents relating to
computer modeling of an ideal dentition and the production of orthodontic
appliances based upon the ideal dentition. The suit has been dismissed but can
be recommenced under certain circumstances. See "Part II. Item 1--Legal
Proceedings." If the Ormco suit were recommenced and if Ormco were to prevail,
we would have to seek a license from Ormco, which license might not be available
on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In that event, we could be subject
to damages or an injunction which could materially adversely affect our
business.

From time to time, we have received and may again receive letters from third
parties drawing our attention to their patent rights. While we do not believe
that we infringe any valid and enforceable rights which have been brought to our
attention, there may be other more pertinent rights of which we are presently
unaware. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits,
interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings could
result in substantial expense to us and significant diversion of effort by our
technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in a patent suit by
Ormco or in any other litigation or interference proceeding to which we may
become a party could subject us to significant liabilities. An adverse
determination of this nature could also put our patents at risk of being
invalidated or interpreted narrowly or require us to seek licenses from third
parties. Licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at
all, in which event, our business would be materially adversely affected.

We have limited experience in manufacturing our products and if we encounter
manufacturing problems or delays, our ability to generate revenue will be
limited.

We have manufactured a limited number of our products to date. Our
manufacturing processes rely on complex three-dimensional scanning, geometrical
manipulation and modeling technologies that have historically not been used on
the scale we require. Each item that we manufacture is geometrically unique and
we have not manufactured our products in the commercial volumes which will be
required to make us profitable. Accordingly, we may be unable to establish or
maintain reliable, high-volume manufacturing capacity. Even if this capacity can
be established and maintained, the cost of doing so may increase the cost of our
products. We may encounter difficulties in scaling up production to meet demand,
including:

. problems involving production yields;
. shortages of key manufacturing equipment;
. shortages of qualified personnel, in particular dental and orthodontic
personnel;
. failure to develop new software processes; and
. compliance with applicable Quality System regulations enforced by the
FDA.

Our manufacturing process is complex. Since all our products are designed for
individual patients, we manufacture our products to fill purchase orders rather
than maintaining inventories of assembled products. If demand for our products
exceeds our manufacturing capacity, we could develop a substantial backlog of
customer orders. If we are unable to establish and maintain larger- scale-
manufacturing capabilities, our ability to generate revenue will be limited and
our reputation in the marketplace would be damaged.

We currently rely on third parties to provide key inputs to our manufacturing
process, and if our access to these inputs is diminished, our business may be
harmed.

We currently outsource key portions of our manufacturing process. We rely on a
third party manufacturer in Mexico to fabricate Aligners and to ship the
completed product to customers. In addition, third party rapid prototyping
bureaus fabricate some molds from which the Aligners are formed. As a result, if
any of our third party manufacturers fail to deliver their components or if we
lose their services,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 15
we may be unable to deliver our products in a timely manner and our business may
be harmed. Finding substitute manufacturers may be expensive, time-consuming or
impossible. Although we are in the process of developing the capability to
fabricate all molds and Aligners internally, we may not be successful and may
continue to rely on outsourcing in the future.

In addition, we are highly dependent on manufacturers of specialized scanning
equipment, rapid prototyping machines, resin and other advanced materials. We
maintain single supply relationships for many of these machines and materials
technologies. Our rapid growth may exceed the capacity of these manufacturers to
produce the needed equipment and materials in sufficient quantities to support
our growth. In the event of delivery delays or shortages of these items, our
business and growth prospects may be harmed.

We are dependent on our international manufacturing operations, which exposes us
to foreign operational and political risks that may harm our business.

Two of our key production steps are performed in manufacturing operations
located outside the U.S. We currently rely on our facilities in Pakistan to
create electronic treatment plans with the assistance of sophisticated software.
We employ approximately 508 people in Lahore, Pakistan, in this effort. We
anticipate that we will need to expand our personnel and facilities in Pakistan
in order to scale our manufacturing operations. In addition, we rely on third
party manufacturers in Mexico to fabricate Aligners and to ship the completed
product to customers. Our reliance on international operations exposes us to
risks and uncertainties, including:

. difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
. controlling quality of manufacture;
. political, social and economic instability;
. interruptions and limitations in telecommunication services;
. product or material transportation delays or disruption;
. trade restrictions and changes in tariffs;
. import and export license requirements and restrictions;
. fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and
. potential adverse tax consequences.

If any of these risks materialize, our operating results may be harmed.

We are growing rapidly, and our failure to manage this growth could harm our
business. We have experienced significant growth in recent periods.

Our headcount increased from 50 employees as of June 30, 1999 to approximately
1,100 employees as of March 31, 2001. In mid-2000, we approved major renovations
and expansions to our existing facilities. We expect that our growth will place
significant demands on our management and other resources and will require us to
continue to develop and improve our operational, financial and other internal
controls both in the U.S. and internationally. In particular, continued growth
increases the challenges involved in a number of areas, including: recruiting
and retaining sufficient skilled personnel, providing adequate training and
supervision to maintain our high quality standards, and preserving our culture
and values. Our inability to manage this growth effectively would harm our
business.

If we lose our key personnel or are unable to attract and retain key personnel,
we may be unable to pursue business opportunities or develop our products.

We are highly dependent on the key employees in our clinical engineering and
management teams. The loss of the services of those individuals may
significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our product development and
other business objectives and could harm our business. Our future success will
also depend on our ability to identify, recruit, train and retain additional
qualified personnel. There is currently a
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 16
shortage of skilled clinical, engineering and management personnel and intense
competition for these personnel, especially in Silicon Valley where our
headquarters is located. In addition, few orthodontists are accustomed to
working in a manufacturing environment since they are generally trained to work
in private practices, universities and other research institutions. Thus, we may
be unable to attract and retain personnel with the advanced qualifications
necessary for the further development of our business. Furthermore, we may not
be successful in retaining our key personnel or their services.

We experience competition from manufacturers of traditional braces and expect
aggressive competition in the future.

We are not aware of any company that is marketing or developing a system
directly comparable to our Invisalign System. However, manufacturers of
traditional braces, such as 3M Company, Sybron Dental Specialities and Dentsply
International, Inc. have substantially greater financial resources and
manufacturing and marketing experience than we do and may, in the future,
attempt to develop an orthodontic system similar to ours. Large consumer
products companies may also enter the orthodontic supply market. Furthermore, we
may face competition in the future from new companies that may introduce new
technologies. We may be unable to compete with these competitors and one or more
of these competitors may render our technology obsolete or economically
unattractive. If we are unable to compete effectively with existing products or
respond effectively to any products developed by our competitors, our business
will be harmed.

Complying with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulations is
an expensive and time-consuming process, and any failure to comply could result
in substantial penalties.

Our products are medical devices and subject to extensive regulation in the
U.S. and internationally. FDA regulations are wide ranging and govern, among
other things:

. product design, development, manufacture and testing;
. product labeling;
. product storage;
. pre-market clearance or approval;
. advertising and promotion; and
. product sales and distribution.

Noncompliance with applicable regulatory requirements can result in
enforcement action which may include recalling products, ceasing product
marketing, and paying significant fines and penalties, which could limit product
sales, delay product shipment and adversely affect our profitability.

In the U.S., we must comply with facility registration and product listing
requirements of the FDA and adhere to applicable Quality System regulations. The
FDA enforces its Quality System regulations through periodic unannounced
inspections, which we have yet to undergo. If we or any third party manufacturer
of our products do not conform to applicable Quality System regulations, we may
be required to find alternative manufacturers, which could be a long and costly
process.

Before we can sell a new medical device in the U.S., we must obtain FDA
clearance or approval, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process. Even
though the devices we market have obtained the necessary clearances from the FDA
through the pre-market notification provisions of Section 510(k) of the federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, we may be unable to maintain the necessary
clearances in the future. Furthermore, we may be unable to obtain the necessary
clearances for new devices that we market in the future.

Extensive and changing government regulation of the healthcare industry may be
expensive to comply with and exposes us to the risk of substantial government
penalties.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 17
In addition to medical device laws and regulations, numerous state and federal
healthcare-related laws regulate our business, covering areas such as:

. storage, transmission and disclosure of medical information and
healthcare records;
. prohibitions against the offer, payment or receipt of remuneration to
induce referrals to entities providing healthcare services or goods; and
. the marketing and advertising of our products.

Complying with these laws and regulations could be expensive and time-
consuming, and could increase our costs or reduce or eliminate certain of our
activities or our revenues.

We face risks related to our international operations, including the need to
obtain necessary foreign regulatory clearance or approvals.

Sales of our products outside the U.S. are subject to foreign regulatory
requirements that vary widely from country to country. The time required to
obtain clearances or approvals required by other countries may be longer than
that required for FDA clearance or approval, and requirements for such approvals
may differ from FDA requirements. We may be unable to obtain regulatory
approvals in other countries. We may also incur significant costs in attempting
to obtain and in maintaining foreign regulatory approvals. If we experience
delays in receipt of approvals to market our products outside of the U.S., or if
we fail to receive these approvals, we may be unable to market our products or
enhancements in international markets in a timely manner, if at all.

Our business exposes us to risks of product liability claims, and we may incur
substantial expenses if we are sued for product liability.

Medical devices involve an inherent risk of product liability claims and
associated adverse publicity. We may be held liable if any product we develop or
any product that uses or incorporates any of our technologies causes injury or
is otherwise found unsuitable. Although we intend to continue to maintain
product liability insurance, adequate insurance may not be available on
acceptable terms and may not provide adequate coverage against potential
liabilities. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual
outcome, could result in significant legal defense costs. These costs would have
the effect of increasing our expenses and could harm our business.

We may be unable to raise additional capital if it should be necessary, which
could harm our ability to compete.

We have incurred significant operating losses, negative operating cash flows
since inception and have not achieved profitability. As of March 31, 2001, we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $140.6 million.

We expect to expend significant capital to establish a national brand, build
manufacturing infrastructure and develop both product and process technology. We
believe that the existing cash balances, the proceeds from our initial public
offering in January 2001 and other potential financing alternatives will be
sufficient to meet our capital and operating requirements for at least the next
12 months.

We are currently working towards our objective of realizing profitability by
achieving the key goal of successfully marketing our product throughout the U.S.
and internationally, while controlling our expenses. The failure to win
increased acceptance by orthodontists and dentists of the Invisalign System
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial conditions.

If we are unable to generate adequate operating cash flows, we may need to
seek additional sources of capital through equity or debt financing,
collaborative or other arrangements with other companies, bank financing and
other sources in order to realize our objectives and to continue our operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or
equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not
available, we could be required to delay establishing a national brand,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 18
building manufacturing infrastructure and developing our product and process
technology, or to reduce our expenditures in general. Accordingly, the failure
to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The market price for our common stock may be highly volatile.

The trading price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and
could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors,
many of which are beyond our control, including:

. quarterly variations in our results of operations;
. changes in recommendations by the investment community or in their
estimates of our revenues or operating results;
. speculation in the press or investment community;
. strategic actions by our competitors, such as product announcements or
acquisitions; and
. general market conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology and
medical device companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to or disproportionate to the
operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry
factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of
our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the
market price of a company's securities, class action litigation has often been
brought against the company. If a securities class action suit is filed against
us, we would incur substantial legal fees and our management's attention and
resources would be diverted from operating our business in order to respond to
the litigation.

Concentrations of ownership and agreements among our existing executive
officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent other stockholders
from influencing significant corporate transactions.

The interest of management could conflict with the interest of our other
stockholders. As of March 31, 2001, our executive officers, directors and
principal stockholders beneficially owned, in total, approximately 53% of our
outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders are able to exercise
control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election
of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could have
the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company, which
in turn could reduce the market price of our stock.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative Disclosures

We are exposed to market risks inherent in our operations, primarily related
to interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks arise from transactions and
operations entered into in the normal course of business. We do not use
derivatives to alter the interest characteristics of our marketable securities
or our debt instruments. We have no holdings of derivative or commodity
instruments.

We are subject to interest rate risks on cash and cash equivalents, available-
for-sale marketable securities, existing long-term debts and any future
financing requirements. Interest rate risks related to marketable securities are
managed by managing maturities in our marketable securities portfolio. The long-
term debt at March 31, 2001 consists only of outstanding balances on lease
obligations.

The fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be
significantly impacted by changes in interest rates since the marketable
securities maturities do not exceed fiscal year 2002 and the interest rates are
primarily fixed. Our capital lease obligations of $1.8 million at March 31, 2001
carry a
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 19
fixed interest rate of 6.53% and 11.15% per annum with principle payments due in
60 and 48, respectively, equal annual installments beginning in 2000.

Qualitative Disclosures

Interest Rate Risk. Our primary interest rate risk exposures relate to:

. The available-for-sale securities will fall in value if market interest
rates increase.
. Our ability to pay long-term debts at maturity.
. The impact of interest rate movements on our ability to obtain adequate
financing to fund future operations.

We have the ability to hold at least a portion of the fixed income investments
until maturity and therefore would not expect the operating results or cash
flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market
interest rates on our short- and long-term marketable securities portfolio.

We manage interest rate risk on our outstanding long-term debts through the
use of fixed rate debt. Management evaluates our financial position on an
ongoing basis.

Currency Rate Risk. Our primary currency rate risk exposures relate to:

. Our decentralized or outsourced operations, whereby approximately $2.3
million of our expenses are related to operations outside the United
States, denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
. Our investments in a foreign subsidiary being directly from the U.S.
parent, resulting in U.S. dollar investments in foreign currency
functional companies.

We do not hedge any balance sheet exposures and intercompany balances against
future movements in foreign exchange rates. The exposure related to currency
rate movements would not have a material impact on future net income or cash
flows.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 22, 2001 a complaint was filed against us by Jon L. Richter in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Richter, a general practice dentist, purports to sue on behalf of himself and
all licensed dentists in the U.S., excluding orthodontists. Mr. Richter alleges
that we reached an agreement with unspecified orthodontists to restrict the
sales of the Invisalign System only to orthodontists, and thereby violated U.S.
antitrust laws. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages. While the
Invisalign System is not available to dentists, we have not entered into any
agreements with orthodontists restricting the distribution of the Invisalign
System. For this reason, among others, we believe the lawsuit is without merit.

In January 2000, Ormco Corporation filed suit against us asserting
infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,447,432 and 5,683,243. The complaint sought
unspecified and monetary damages and injunctive relief. In March 2000, we
answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims seeking a declaration by the
Court of invalidity and non-infringement of the asserted patents.

In June 2000, we entered into a Stipulation of Dismissal with Ormco. Ormco
agreed for a period of at least two years not to pursue litigation with respect
to these patents, except as set forth below. Further, Ormco agreed that it would
not bring any patent action against us for at least a period of one year with
respect to any as yet unissued patents. If Ormco were to bring such an action
concerning as yet unissued patents after one year, the Stipulation of Dismissal
would allow Ormco to include in such an action claims
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 20
involving U.S. Patent Nos. 5,447,432 and 5,683,243. No assurance can be given
that Ormco will not bring another action against us or, that if brought, it will
not be successful. Should the suit be recommenced and should our technology be
found to infringe, we would have to seek a license from Ormco, which license
might not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In that
event, we could be subject to damages or an injunction which could materially
adversely affect our business. It is possible that, depending on the scope of
any new patents that are issued to Ormco, Ormco will bring another patent action
after a period of one year has passed.

The claims at issue in the Ormco suit relate to methods and systems for
forming and manufacturing custom orthodontic appliances. The relevant claims are
limited to the calculation of the final positioning of a patient's teeth based
upon a derived or ideal dental archform of the patient. The treatment plan
simulation developed in our Pakistan facilities determines the final positioning
of a patient's teeth but not based on a derived or ideal dental archform of the
patient.

From time to time, we have received, and may again receive, letters from third
parties drawing our attention to their patent rights. While we do not believe
that we infringe any such rights which have been brought to our attention, there
may be other more pertinent rights of which we are presently unaware.


ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities. On January 25, 2001 the
Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (File No. 333-49932) relating to our initial public offering of our
common stock. The 10,000,000 shares offered by us under the Registration
Statement were sold at a price of $13.00 per share on January 31, 2001. The
managing underwriters for the offering were Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, Bear,
Stearns & Co. Inc., JP Morgan and Robertson Stephens. The underwriters also
exercised an overallotment option on March 15, 2001 for 628,706 shares. The
overallotment shares were sold at a price of $13.00 per share. The aggregate
proceeds to the Company from the offering were $128.5 million after deducting
the underwriting discounts and commissions of $9.7 million, and exclude expenses
incurred in connection with the offering of approximately $2.3 million. During
the first quarter, net ofering proceeds were used to purchase plant machinery
and equipment, leasehold improvements and working capital in the amounts of
approximately $1.9 million, $335,000 and $6.7 million, respectively. The
remaining balance of $119.5 million is in bank deposits and marketable
securities. No direct or indirect payments were made to directors, officers,
general partners of the issuer or their associates, or to persons owning 10% or
more of any class of equity securities of the issuer, or to any affiliates of
the issuer in connection with the offering.


ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On January 19, 2001 an Action by Written Consent of the Stockholders of Align
Technology, Inc. was circulated to the Company's stockholders. The matters
which were voted on were an amendment to the Company's certificate of
incorporation and bylaws to reflect the Company's transition to a public
company; the approval of an indemnification agreement between the Company and
each of its directors; the approval of the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan; the
approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and the approval of stock option
