NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (the Company) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 25, 2004, included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2004.

 

The balance sheet at September 25, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 26, 2005, the consolidated statements of income for the three months and six months ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.

 

The results of operations for the three months and six months ended March 26, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 24, 2005. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current-period presentation.

Table of Contents

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include options outstanding to purchase 60 and 128 common-equivalent shares for the three and six months ended March 26, 2005, respectively, and 673 and 692 common-equivalent shares for the three and six months ended March 27, 2004, respectively, as their effect would have been antidilutive.

 

(4) Stock Based Compensation

 

At March 26, 2005, the Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretation. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income for the three or six months ended March 26, 2005 or March 27, 2004 as all options granted under the plans for those years had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Additionally, the Company has not issued any stock awards to non-employees.

 

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No.148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123; therefore, no compensation expense was recognized for the Company’s stock option plans. Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans, consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net income and net income per share would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The Company has computed the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 148 for stock options granted to employees and shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average fair value of each stock option included in the preceding pro forma amounts is amortized over the vesting period of the underlying options. The assumptions used to calculate the SFAS No. 148 pro forma disclosure for stock options granted to employees are as follows:

(5) Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESP Plan) in compliance with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees who have completed three consecutive months, or two years, whether or not consecutive, of employment with the Company or any of its participating subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the ESP Plan. The ESP Plan allows participants to purchase common stock of the Company at 85% of the fair market value, as defined. On February 28, 2005, the Board of Directors approved to discontinue the ESP Plan effective July 1, 2005.

(8) Litigation

 

In March 2005, the Company was served with a Complaint filed on November 12, 2004 by Oleg Sokolov with the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging that the Company’s HTC grid infringes U.S. Patent Number 5,970,118. The plaintiff is seeking to preliminarily and permanently enjoin the Company from infringing the patent, as well as damages resulting from the alleged infringement, treble damages and reasonable attorney fees, and such other and further relief as may be available. On April 25, 2005, the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaims in response to the Complaint in which the Company denied the plaintiff’s allegations and, among other things, sought declaratory relief with respect to the patent claims and damages, as well as other relief. On October 28, 1998, the plaintiff had previously sued Lorad, asserting, among other things, that Lorad had misappropriated the plaintiff’s trade secrets relating to the HTC Grid. This previous case was dismissed on August 28, 2000. The dismissal was affirmed by the Appellate Court of the State of Connecticut, and the United States Supreme Court refused to grant Certiorari. The Company does not believe that it infringes any valid or enforceable patents of the plaintiff and intends to vigorously defend its interests.

 

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various types of litigation. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all of these claims, and, in its opinion, all litigation, except as noted above, currently pending or threatened will not reasonably be likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

(9) Product Warranties

 

The Company typically offers a one-year warranty for all of its products. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the warranty reserve and adjusts the amount as necessary.

 

Product warranty activity for the six months ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 is as follows:

(10) Related Party Transactions

 

In fiscal 2000 and 2001, the Company loaned an officer an aggregate of $500 which is required to be repaid quarterly through April 2006. In the event of a change in control, as defined, the amounts outstanding will be forgiven. The note is unsecured and bears interest at 7% per annum.

 

In December 2002, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a special bonus program to provide the officer with the funds necessary to pay the quarterly installments due under the loan. Under the special bonus program, for so long as the officer remains an officer of the Company and there are amounts

Table of Contents

remaining to be repaid under the loan, the Company will pay the officer a special quarterly bonus equal to the amount due under the loan, including interest due, plus an additional payment equal to the taxes due as a result of the special bonus and such additional payment, such that the net-after-tax special quarterly bonus to be received by the officer will equal the principal and interest then due under the loan. During the six months ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 the Company recognized $159 and $157, respectively, in bonus expense in connection with this program.

 

On December 15, 2004, the Company’s Audit Committee authorized certain payments pursuant to the Company’s relocation program to assist an executive officer in his relocation. In connection with the Company’s program, the Company paid a relocation company approximately $82 as an advance against the company’s management fee and direct expenses associated with the sale of the officer’s former residence. This amount was subject to adjustment based upon the timing and sale price of the former residence at the closing. The Company has also agreed to pay the taxes, maintenance, utilities, insurance and all other operating costs and payments relating to the former residence following the date on which the officer vacates the residence through the date on which the sale is completed. In April 2005, the relocation company sold the former residence at a price equal to the purchase price paid to the officer and no further payments were made by the Company to the relocation company.

 

(11) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.

 

Statement 151 must be adopted for fiscal years starting after June 15, 2005. The Company expects to adopt Statement 151 starting in its fiscal first quarter of 2006, which begins on September 25, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

 

On December 16, 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach on Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

 

Statement 123R must be adopted for fiscal years starting after June 15, 2005. The Company expects to adopt Statement 123R starting in its fiscal first quarter of 2006, which begins on September 25, 2005.

 

As permitted by Statement 123R the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123R’s fair value method will have a significant impact on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future and the option pricing model that the Company adopts.

 

(12) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Consistent with prior years, the Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill during the quarter ended March 26, 2005. The Company determined that it met all of the criteria under SFAS No. 142 to carry-forward the prior year determination of reporting unit fair value and based on the applicable valuation determined that no impairment exists.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

The critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements presented in this report are described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2004. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For a discussion of how these and other factors may affect our business, see the “Cautionary Statement” above and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2004.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We are engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of proprietary X-ray, digital X-ray and other medical imaging systems. Our businesses are reported as four segments: mammography; osteoporosis assessment; digital detectors; and other.

 

Our mammography products include a broad product line of breast imaging products, including film-based and digital mammography systems and breast biopsy systems. Our osteoporosis assessment products primarily consist of dual-energy X-ray bone densitometry systems and, to a lesser extent, an ultrasound-based osteoporosis assessment product. Bone densitometry is the precise measurement of bone density to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases that can lead to debilitating bone fractures. Our digital detector products are a digital component for original equipment manufacturers to incorporate into their own equipment. Our other business segment includes our mini C-arm, conventional general radiography service and digital general radiography systems businesses. Our mini C-arm products are low intensity, fluoroscopic systems used primarily for image guidance of minimally invasive surgical procedures on a patient’s extremities. In January 2002, we closed the manufacturing facility for the conventional general radiography products; however, we continue to service and support most of these product lines. We have decided to phase out our digital general radiography systems and to focus on supplying our digital detectors to other original equipment manufacturers.

In the current three and six month periods, our product sales increased 28% and 31%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in revenues from our mammography products, and to a lesser extent an increase in digital detector and osteoporosis assessment sales. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in our other segment product sales, primarily attributable to our continued phasing out of our general radiography systems business and to a lesser extent a decrease in our mini C-arm sales. We have discontinued taking new orders for general radiography systems but continue to service the installed base.

 

Mammography product sales increased 43% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to a $5.3 million increase in worldwide digital mammography system sales, a $2.4

Table of Contents

million increase in worldwide Multicare stereotactic table sales and a $1.8 million increase in worldwide analog mammography system sales. The increase in our digital mammography product sales was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Selenia systems sold, primarily in the United States, and a slight increase in the average selling price for those systems due to the inclusion of a third party computer aided detection (“CAD”) software option on almost all of the units sold in the United States. This option was not available in the corresponding periods in the prior year, and offset a reduction in the average selling prices for digital mammography systems that did not include this option. In the current quarter we sold 54 digital mammography systems compared to 35 systems in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. We attribute the increase in digital mammography system sales primarily to the growing acceptance of our Selenia mammography system and of digital mammography in general. The increase in sales of our analog mammography systems was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of systems sold internationally, primarily through distributors, partially offset by lower selling prices attributable to those sales as compared to our direct sales in the United States. The increase in the sales of our Multicare stereotactic tables, worldwide, was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of systems sold in the current quarter as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

 

For the current six month period, mammography product sales increased 55% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to a $11.4 million increase in worldwide digital mammography systems sales, a $6.2 million increase in worldwide analog mammography sales and a $3.9 million increase in worldwide Multicare stereotactic table sales. The increase in our digital mammography product sales was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Selenia systems sold, primarily in the United States, offset in part, by a slight decrease in the average selling price for those systems, that was partially offset by the inclusion of the CAD software option on almost all of the units sold in the United States during the current six month period. In the current six month period, we sold 104 digital mammography systems compared to 62 systems in the first six months of fiscal 2004. We attribute the increase in digital mammography system sales primarily to the growing acceptance of our Selenia mammography system and of digital mammography in general. The increase in sales of our analog mammography systems and Multicare stereotactic tables, worldwide, was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of systems sold in the current six month period compared to the first six months of fiscal 2004.

 

Osteoporosis assessment product sales increased 15% in the current quarter compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004, primarily attributable to a $1.1 million increase in product sales in the United States and a $759,000 increase in international markets. The total number of our dual-energy x-ray bone densitometry systems sold in the United States and internationally increased in the current quarter as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in sales in the United States was primarily attributable to a shift to our lower priced bone densitometry systems sold into the primary care market through the Company’s distribution partner. The increase in international sales was also primarily attributable to an increase in the number of our lower priced Explorer bone densitometry systems sold.

 

For the current six month period, osteoporosis assessment product sales increased 9% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily attributable to an increase in the total number of our lower-priced Explorer bone densitometry systems sold worldwide.

 

Digital detector product sales increased 130% and 155%, respectively, in the current three and six months compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the number of digital detectors sold worldwide. Sales of our digital detectors in the current quarter increased by $1.4 million in the United States, $1.3 million in Europe and $205,000 in Asia compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Sales of our digital detectors in the current six month period increased by $3.3 million in the United States, $1.9 million in Europe and $650,000 in Asia compared to the first six months of fiscal 2004. The increase in the United States and Asia primarily reflects the increase in the number of digital detectors sold for general radiography systems, while the increase for Europe primarily reflects the higher number of digital detectors sold for the mammography systems of our OEM partner. We believe that our increase in digital detector sales reflects the growing acceptance of digital radiography and our technology, as well as our decision to phase out our digital general radiography systems and to focus on supplying our digital detectors to other original equipment manufacturers.

Table of Contents

Other product sales decreased 48% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million decrease in worldwide digital general radiography product sales and a $942,000 decrease in our worldwide mini C-arm product sales. In the current six month period, other product sales decreased 38% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $3.1 million decrease in worldwide digital general radiography product sales and a $1.5 million decrease in our worldwide mini C-arm product sales. The decrease in general radiography product sales reflects our decision to phase out our digital general radiography systems. As a result of this decision, we expect our product sales for our digital general radiography systems to be negligible going forward. In the current three and six month periods, sales of digital general radiography systems accounted for $258,000 and $2.1 million of other product revenues, respectively. The decrease in sales of our mini C-arm products was primarily due to a reduction in the number of systems sold as a result of increased competition and, to a lesser extent, lower prices attributable to competitive pricing pressure in the United States.

 

In the first six months of fiscal 2005, approximately 63% of product sales were generated in the United States, 22% in Europe, 11% in Asia, 2% in Latin America and 2% in other international markets. In the first six months of fiscal 2004, approximately 59% of product sales were generated in the United States, 19% in Europe, 11% in Asia, 10% in Latin America and 1% in other international markets. We believe the shift in sales to the United States market is primarily due to an increase in demand for our Selenia digital mammography system. The decrease in sales in Latin America during the current six month period was primarily attributable to the fulfillment of a large order for our Selenia digital mammography systems in Mexico in the first six months of fiscal 2004.

Service and other revenue is primarily comprised of revenue generated from our field service organization to provide ongoing service, installation and repair of our products. Service and other revenue increased 14% in the current quarter and 18% in the current six month period compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increases in service and other revenue in the current three and six month periods were primarily due to increases in service contract revenues and spare part sales in our mammography and osteoporosis assessment segments and, to a lesser extent, an increase in digital detector spare part sales in the current six month period. We believe that these increases reflect the continued growth in our installed base of systems and digital detectors.

The cost of product sales decreased as a percentage of product sales to 52% in the current quarter from 54% in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and to 52% in the current six month period from 53% in the first six months of fiscal 2004. Cost of product sales decreased as a percentage of product sales primarily due to increased revenues and improved profitability associated with the shift in mammography product sales to Selenia, our full field digital

mammography systems, and the increase in revenues for digital detectors resulting in an improved absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. The Selenia systems have significantly higher selling prices, more than offsetting the higher costs of the product, when compared to analog mammography. This improvement was partially offset by a reduction in the average selling prices for digital mammography systems in the United States and Latin America, a significant increase in the number of lower gross margin analog mammography systems sold, especially internationally, and a shift in sales to lower margin bone densitometry systems, sold both internationally and into the primary care market in the United States.

Cost of service and other revenue increased both in percentage of service revenue and absolute dollars, primarily related to increased warranty costs in our digital detector business and, to a lesser extent, in our digital mammography business, and due to additional personnel and other costs to expand our service capabilities, especially in the United States to support our growing installed base of products. We expect our costs of service and other revenue to remain relatively high as a percentage of service and other revenue, reflecting our need to employ the required personnel for warranty, non-warranty and installation activities to service our growing installed base of products. We also expect an increase in customers entering into service agreements in connection with our transition to digital mammography and direct service coverage.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased 18% and 13%, respectively, in the current three and six month periods as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in mammography related expenses including our tomosynthesis development project. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in research and development spending and personnel costs primarily related to our phase-out of the digital general radiography systems product line. We expect total research and development expenses to continue to increase as we accelerate our development efforts of tomosynthesis technology for mammography in fiscal 2005.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased 7% and 2%, respectively, in the current three and six month periods as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. These expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 11% and 12%, respectively, in the current three and six month periods from 14% and 16%, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior year, primarily due to the increased level of revenues. The decreases were primarily due to a reduction of approximately $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in the current three and six month periods of international distributor commissions primarily related to

the sale of Selenias in Mexico in fiscal 2004. In the current quarter, these decreases were partially offset by an increase of approximately $303,000 of salaries, benefits and travel expenses from an increase in our direct sales force, and $245,000 of increased commissions to our direct sales force due to the increased product sales in direct territories. In the first six months of fiscal 2005, these decreases were partially offset by an increase of approximately $800,000 of salaries, benefits and travel expenses from an increase in our direct sales force, and $345,000 of increased commissions to our direct sales force due to the increased product sales in direct territories. Sales and marketing expenses have also shifted between the operating segments for the current three and six month periods by increasing in mammography, reflecting our increased revenues from that segment, and decreasing for each of our other business segments.

 

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 29% and 22%, respectively, in the current three and six month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increased compensation and related benefits due to increased headcount, increases in bonus and profit sharing expense in accordance with the applicable plans as a result of continued improved financial results and increases in accounting and legal expenses for general purposes as well as increased time spent assisting and documenting and testing our internal controls. In the current quarter, compensation and related benefits increased approximately $584,000, bonus and profit sharing expense increased approximately $406,000, and accounting and legal expenses increased approximately $452,000. In addition, we incurred $247,000 of due diligence expenses in the current quarter in connection with a potential acquisition. Prior to the end of the current quarter we decided not to pursue this potential acquisition further and accordingly expensed all acquisition costs. In the first six months of fiscal 2005, bonus and profit-sharing expense increased approximately $837,000, compensation and related benefits increased approximately $702,000, accounting and legal expenses increased approximately $400,000 and due diligence costs increased approximately $250,000.

Interest income increased 300% and 222%, respectively, in the current three and six month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in the interest rate earned in the first three and six month periods of fiscal 2005 compared to last year and, to a lesser extent, higher investment balances.

In the current quarter, interest/other expense primarily consisted of interest costs on the Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. note payable. For the first six months of fiscal 2005, this expense included interest costs on the Wells Fargo Foothill note payable partially offset by foreign currency transaction gains. In the comparable three and six month periods of fiscal 2004, these costs were primarily due to foreign currency transaction losses and interest costs on the Wells Fargo Foothill note payable. To the extent that foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate in the future, we may be exposed to continued financial risk. Although we have established a borrowing line of credit denominated in the foreign currency, the euro, in which our subsidiaries currently conduct business to minimize this risk, we cannot assure that we will be successful or can fully hedge our outstanding exposure.

We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement requires that we recognize a current tax liability or asset for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards to the extent they are realizable. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005 we increased our effective tax rate for the year to 15% based upon our improved performance. As a result, our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 20% in order to achieve the 15% effective rate through the first six months of the current year. In fiscal 2004, we provided for nominal federal, state and foreign taxes and certain minimum taxes where net operating losses could not be used. Our expected effective income tax rate is lower than the combined federal, state and foreign statutory income tax rates due primarily to utilization of previously unrecognized net operating losses.

 

Segment Results of Operations

 

Our businesses are reported as four segments: mammography; osteoporosis assessment; digital detectors and other. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the footnotes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We measure segment performance based on total revenues and operating income or loss. Revenues from product sales of each of these segments are described in further detail above. The discussion that follows is a summary analysis of total revenues and the primary changes in operating income or loss by segment.

periods. The increase in service revenues of 24% and 32%, respectively, in the current three and six month periods is primarily related to the increased number of systems in our installed base. Operating income for this business segment increased primarily due to the increased revenues. Our gross margin in this business segment has remained within a range of 39-40% for the current three and six month periods and the comparable periods of fiscal 2004. In the current three and six month periods our gross margins improved from the shift in product revenues to our more profitable Selenia full field digital mammography systems from our analog mammography systems. This improvement in the gross margin percentage was offset by a reduction in the average selling prices for the base digital mammography systems without the CAD option, a significant increase in sales of analog mammography systems sold internationally at lower selling prices than in the United States and at lower gross margins than the digital mammography product line, and an increase in service related costs. In general, we expect improved gross margins in fiscal 2005 from the shift in product revenues to our more profitable Selenia full field digital mammography systems from our analog mammography systems.

Osteoporosis assessment revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the $1.9 million increase in product sales discussed above and a $548,000 increase in service revenues related to the increased number of systems in our installed base. In the current six month period, these revenues increased, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to the $2.2 million increase in product sales discussed above and a $807,000 increase in service revenues. Operating income for osteoporosis assessment increased primarily due to the increases in total revenues, and for the six month period, a reduction in operating expenses. Our gross margin in this business segment was 44% and 42%, respectively, in the current three and six month periods compared to 44% and 45%, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year. The decrease in osteoporosis assessment gross margins in the current six month period was primarily attributable to a shift to international sales where we generally sell at lower prices through distributors and an increase in sales of our lower priced Explorer bone densitometer system primarily in Europe.

Digital detector revenues increased primarily due to the increased number of digital detectors sold as discussed above and for the current six month period a $525,000 increase in service and other revenues. The service revenues increase is due to the increase in the number of detectors in the installed base. The decrease in the digital detector business operating loss is primarily due to the increased product revenues and the improved gross profit from that increase, which was partially offset by an increase in our warranty expense and, to a lesser extent, an increase in operating expenses. Our gross margin in this business segment was 20% and 17%, respectively, in the

Revenues for this business segment, which includes the mini C-arm business, the digital general radiography business and the conventional general radiography service business, decreased in the current quarter compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease in digital general radiography systems sold worldwide, as a result of our phase-out of that business, and a $942,000 decrease in product sales of our mini C-arm products as discussed above. In the current six month period, revenues decreased when compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to a $3.1 million decrease in digital general radiography systems sold worldwide, as a result of our phase-out of that business, and a $1.5 million decrease in product sales of our mini C-arm products. The improvements in operating income were primarily due to lower operating expenses as a result of our decision to de-emphasize the digital general radiography systems business, which has been substantially phased out, and to reallocate resources and costs in order to focus on the more profitable and faster growing digital mammography systems.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 26, 2005 we had approximately $140.2 million of working capital. At that date our cash and cash equivalents totaled $95.7 million. Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased approximately $27.4 million during the first six months of fiscal 2005 primarily due to cash provided by operating and financing activities partially offset by the use of cash for purchases of property and equipment.

 

Our cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was $22.5 million, which included net income of $10.6 million increased by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of an aggregate of $3.7 million. Cash provided by operations due to changes in our current assets and liabilities included a decrease in inventory of $3.2 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $3.4 million, an increase in accrued expenses of $3.0 million and an increase in accounts payable of $2.4 million. These providers of cash were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $4.1 million. The decrease in inventory was primarily the result of improved supply chain management. The increase in deferred revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of deferred service contracts and an increase in customer deposits. The increases in accrued expenses and accounts payable were primarily due to the timing of payments. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to increased revenues in the current quarter.

 

In the first six months of fiscal 2005, we used approximately $5.2 million of cash in investing activities. This use of cash was primarily attributable to purchases of property and equipment, which consisted primarily of manufacturing equipment, demonstration equipment, computer hardware, and a new roof at our Newark, Delaware facility.

 

In the first six months of fiscal 2005, financing activities provided us with $9.8 million of cash. These cash flows included approximately $10.0 million from the exercise of stock options partially offset by repayments, totaling $239,000, of our term loan with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc.

 

21


Table of Contents

As of March 26, 2005 we had short term borrowings, including the current portion of our long-term obligations of $472,000 and long term notes payable totaling $236,000. These amounts represent our obligations of our term loan under our credit facility with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc.

 

In September 2001 we obtained a secured loan from Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. This loan agreement provides for a term loan of approximately $2.4 million, which we borrowed at signing, and a revolving line of credit facility. The maximum amount we can borrow under the loan agreement and amendments is $20.0 million. The loan agreement and amendments contain financial and other covenants and the actual amount which we can borrow under the line of credit at any time is based upon a formula tied to the amount of our qualifying accounts receivable. At March 26, 2005, the total amount of availability under this formula was $20.0 million. In July 2003 we amended this loan agreement primarily to simplify financial covenants and to reduce the fees related to this facility. The term loan accrues interest at prime plus 1.0% for five years. The line of credit advances accrue interest at a prime plus 0.25%. The line of credit expires in September 2005. We were in compliance with all covenants and there were no outstanding borrowings under our line of credit as of March 26, 2005.

 

We maintain an unsecured line of credit with a European bank for the equivalent of $3.0 million, which bears interest at the Europe Interbank Offered Rate (2.12% at September 25, 2004) plus 1.5%. The borrowings under this line are primarily used by our European subsidiaries to settle intercompany sales and are denominated in the respective local currencies of its European subsidiaries. The line of credit may be canceled by the bank with 30 days notice. At March 26, 2005 and September 25, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings under this line.

 

In September 2002, we completed a sale/leaseback transaction for our headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Bedford, Massachusetts and our Lorad manufacturing facility in Danbury, Connecticut. The transaction resulted in net proceeds to us of $31.4 million. The lease for these facilities, including the associated land, has a term of 20 years, with four five-year renewal terms, which we may exercise at our option. The basic rent for the facilities is $3.2 million per year, which is subject to adjustment for increases in the consumer price index. The aggregate total minimum lease payments during the initial 20-year term are $62.9 million. In addition, we are required to maintain the facilities during the term of the lease and to pay all taxes, insurance, utilities and other costs associated with those facilities. Under the lease, we make customary representations and warranties and agree to certain financial covenants and indemnities. In the event we default on the lease, the landlord may terminate the lease, accelerate payments and collect liquidated damages. We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 26, 2005.

Except as set forth above, we do not have any other significant capital commitments. We are working on several projects, with an emphasis on digital mammography. Subject to the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and the general disclaimers set forth in our Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the outset of this Report, we believe that we have sufficient funds in order to fund our expected operations over the next twelve months.

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short and long-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amount.

 

Primary Market Risk Exposures. Our primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. We incur interest expense on loans made under a loan and security agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. (the Foothill Agreement) and a European line of credit. The Foothill Agreement term loan accrues interest at the prime rate plus 1.0% and the European Line of Credit accrues interest at the Europe Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.50%. At March 26, 2005, we had $708,000 outstanding under the Foothill Agreement and there were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Internationally, we currently operate in Belgium and France. Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to: unique economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

 

Substantially all of our sales outside the United States are conducted in U.S. dollar denominated transactions. We operate two European subsidiaries which incur expenses denominated in local currencies. However, we believe that these operating expenses will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As of March 26, 2005, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

In March 2005, we were served with a Complaint filed on November 12, 2004 by Oleg Sokolov with the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging that our HTC grid infringes U.S. Patent Number 5,970,118. The plaintiff is seeking to preliminarily and permanently enjoin us from infringing the patent, as well as damages resulting from the alleged infringement, treble damages and reasonable attorney fees, and such other and further relief as may be available. On April 25, 2005, we filed an Answer and Counterclaims in response to the complaint in which we denied the plaintiff’s allegations and, among other things, sought declaratory relief with respect to the patent claims and damages, as well as other relief. On October 28, 1998, the plaintiff had previously sued Lorad, asserting, among other things, that Lorad had misappropriated the plaintiff’s trade secrets relating to the HTC Grid. This previous case was dismissed on August 28, 2000. The dismissal was affirmed by the Appellate Court of the State of Connecticut, and the United States Supreme Court refused to grant Certiorari. We do not believe that we infringe any valid or enforceable patents of the plaintiff. However, while we intend to vigorously defend our interests, ongoing litigation can be costly and time consuming, and we cannot guarantee that we will prevail.
