NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
June 30, 2002
 
A.    Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medstone International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
 
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position at June 30, 2002 and consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

D.    Per share information
 
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002.
 
In the ordinary course of business, the company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results. The Company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those determined using the necessary estimates inherent in the preparation of financial statements. Estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, customer receivables, inventories, equity investments, fixed asset lives, contingencies and litigation. The Company has also chosen certain accounting policies when options were available, including:
 
 
 
The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method to value a majority of our inventories; and
 
 
 
The intrinsic value method, or APB Opinion No. 25, to account for our common stock incentive awards; and
 
 
 
We record an allowance for credit losses based on estimates of customers’ ability to pay. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.
 
These accounting policies are applied consistently for all years presented. Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Results of Consolidated Operations
 
General
 
Medstone manufactures, markets and maintains lithotripters, and continues to expand its Fee-for-Service Program to supply lithotripsy equipment to providers on a per procedure basis. The lithotripters manufactured by Medstone are approved to treat both kidney stones and gallstones. The Company is also marketing a urology imaging and treatment table, used for various urological functions, mobile urology and patient handling tables to serve the mobile treatment market and various radiology room equipment, capitalizing on the relationships that the Company has with radiology equipment manufacturers. To date, the Company’s consolidated revenues have come primarily from Medstone’s lithotripsy business.

As a manufacturer of medical devices, the Company is vertically integrated by offering its medical devices directly to providers. It currently offers lithotripsy procedures using 14 mobile systems, one fixed site and 26 transmobile lithotripters located throughout the United States on a per procedure basis. With the ability to offer quality equipment at reasonable prices, Medstone intends to continue the growth of this manufacturer direct business.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
 
The Company recognized total revenue of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2001, or an 8% increase. Revenues from procedures, maintenance and management fees decreased from $4.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to both lower average per patient charges on the Company’s fee-for-service equipment and lower patient count. Also decreasing were spares revenues as there were lower shipments for both domestic and foreign customers in the current year when compared to the same period of the prior year. Partially offsetting these decreases were the revenues from maintenance contracts as the number of contracts increased due to additional equipment sales and customer selecting factory maintenance contracts. Equipment revenues increased to $1.64 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2002 from $.74 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year, or a 120% increase. The Company shipped three lithotripsy systems, one urology table and 26 various patient handling tables in the 3 months ended June 30, 2002 compared to one lithotripsy system and 30 various patient handling tables shipped in the same period of 2001.
 
Interest income decreased by 31% in the second quarter of 2002 when compared to the same period of the prior year due to a significant decline in investment yields and a slight decline in the average invested balance.
 
Recurring revenue cost of sales increased to 61% of sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to 57% in the same quarter of the prior year. This is due to slightly lower depreciation and equipment rental expense in the fee-for-service revenue stream offset by a significant decline in the revenue per patient. Cost of sales on equipment sales decreased to 73% of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 90% of sales in the same period of 2001. This decrease is due to lower costs associated with an increase in volume of system shipments. Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue (excluding interest), increased to 64% in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 61% in the second quarter of 2001.
 
Research and development costs increased to $314,000 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to $299,000 in the second quarter of 2001 or an increase of 5% due to additional consulting expenses for development of new applications for our existing equipment.
 
Selling costs increased to $794,000 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to $713,000 in the same period of the prior year, a change of $81,000 or 11% due to higher payroll expenses for added radiology sales staff and increased commission expense on higher sales revenue.

Table of Contents
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $185,000 or 29% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher consulting and legal expenses.
 
Gain on sale of investments decreased to $0 in the quarter ending June 30, 2002 compared to $69,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001. The Company did not sell any investments in the current year, whereas the Company sold 28,000 shares of Cardiac Science in the same period of 2001.
 
Total minority interest expense decreased to $161,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $172,000 in the same period of the prior year due to lower profits in the Northern Nevada and Southern Idaho operations.
 
Provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2002 decreased by $182,000 as a result of lower taxable income in the current year when compared to the same period of 2001.
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
 
The Company recorded total revenue of $12.3 million in the first six months of 2002 or a 17% increase compared to $10.6 million in the corresponding period of 2001. Revenues from procedures, maintenance and management fees decreased by $580,000, or 6%, due to lower average reimbursement per patient even as total patient count increased by 6% in the current year, to over 14,650 patients. Spares revenue also decreased in the current year compared to the same period in the prior year. Equipment revenue increased by $2,437,000, or 222%, as unit shipments increased significantly in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period of 2001. Six lithotripsy systems were shipped in the current year compared to one unit in the prior year. Four urology systems were shipped in the six months ended June 30, 2002 with no comparable revenue in the prior year. Offsetting some of the increase in unit shipments is a slight decline in the Company’s imaging tables, as the Company has shipped 42 various types of tables in 2002 compared to 47 units sold in the corresponding period of 2001.
 
Interest income decreased by 37% for the first six months of 2002 when compared to the same period of the prior year as significantly lower interest yields were earned on a slightly lower average invested balance.
 
Procedure, maintenance and management fee cost of sales decreased to 58% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 60% in the same period of the prior year as costs decreased in the fee-for-service program due to lower depreciation and equipment rental costs. Cost of sales on equipment sales decreased to 75% of revenue in the first six months of 2002 compared to 93% of revenue in the first six months of 2001 due to a higher number of lithotripsy units sold, which have higher profit margins compared to imaging tables. Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue (excluding interest), remained constant at 63% in both the first six months of 2002 and the same period of 2001.
 
Research and development costs increased by $15,000, or 3% in the first six months of 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001 as the Company is developing new project applications.

Table of Contents
 
Selling costs increased by 29%, or $363,000, in the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 due to higher payroll for expanded imaging sales efforts, increased commission expense on higher revenues and services related to the biliary marketing efforts.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by 26%, or $339,000, in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the first six months of 2001 due to higher consulting and legal expenses.
 
Gain on sale of investments was $428,000 in the six months ended June 30,2001 with no comparable amount in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Company did not sell any investments in the current year, whereas the Company sold 101,000 shares of Cardiac Science in the same period of the prior year.
 
Minority interest increased by 21% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period of the prior year due to recognition of the Company’s portion of the losses of Arcoma AB in the current year compared to recognition of equity earnings from Medicredit.com, Inc. in the six months ended June 30, 2001.
 
Provision for income taxes decreased to $196,000 in the first six months of 2002 compared to $435,000 for the same period of 2001 as a result of lower taxable income in the current year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At June 30, 2002, the Company had cash and short-term investments of approximately $6.3 million. These funds were generated from continuing operating activities and from the Company’s initial public offering in June 1988.
 
The Company’s long-term capital expenditure requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of the Company’s research and development programs, the time required to obtain regulatory approvals, the resources that the Company devotes to the development of self-funded products, proprietary manufacturing methods and advanced technologies, the costs of acquisitions and/or new revenue opportunities, the ability of the Company to obtain additional licensing arrangements and to manufacture products under those arrangements, and the demand for its products if and when approved and possible acquisitions of products, technologies and companies.
 
The Company believes that its existing working capital and funds anticipated to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the cash needs for continuation of its present operations during 2002.
