Note 1

The Company:

Background

PhotoMedex, Inc. (and its subsidiaries) (the "Company") is a Global Skin Health company providing integrated disease management and aesthetic solutions to dermatologists, professional aestheticians and consumers. The Company provides proprietary products and services that address skin diseases and conditions including psoriasis, vitiligo, acne, actinic keratosis (a precursor to certain types of skin cancer), photo damage and unwanted hair.

On May 12, 2014, PhotoMedex completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of LCA-Vision Inc. ("LCA-Vision" or "LCA"), which was a publicly–traded Delaware corporation. LCA is a provider of fixed-site laser vision corrections services at its Lasik Plus® vision centers. Through this acquisition, the Company intended to add an additional operating segment to its organization. The Company planned to begin to directly market certain of its existing products from these centers. The results of operations of LCA-Vision have been included from May 13, 2014 through January 31, 2015 into the Company's consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation. (See Note 3, Acquisition of LCA-Vision Inc.).

On January 31, 2015, the Company sold 100% of the shares of LCA-Vision Inc. for $40 million in cash. Excluding working capital adjustments and professional fees, the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $37.7 million, substantially all of which were used to repay indebtedness. The LCA-Vision assets and liabilities were considered to be held for sale as of December 31, 2014. For the statement of operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, the activity related to LCA's operations through the date of disposition, and any gains or losses therefrom, are captured as discontinued operations. (See Note 2, Discontinued Operations.)

On May 12, 2014, the Company entered into an $85 million senior secured credit facilities ("the Facilities") with JP Morgan Chase ("Chase") which included a $10 million revolving credit facility and a $75 million four-year term loan. The facilities were utilized to refinance the existing term debt with Chase, fund the acquisition of LCA and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Effective February 28, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the "Second Amended Forbearance Agreement") with the lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement dated May 12, 2014, and with Chase, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Events of Default from August 25, 2014 until April 1, 2016, or earlier if any new event of default occurs (the "Forbearance Period"). Chase and the Lenders agreed that the Company shall not be obligated to pay the principal amounts set forth in the Credit Agreement for any date identified therein during the period beginning on February 28, 2015 and ending on the end of the Forbearance Period (the "Effective Period"), and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. Instead, the Lenders and the Company agreed that the Company would make prepayments against the Term Loan of $250,000 on the first business day of each month during the Forbearance Period, which will be applied in direct order of maturity. The Company also agreed that, on or before the fifth calendar day of each month, the Company would pay against the Term Loan $125,000 to the extent that the cash-on-hand exceeds $5 million, and 100% of the cash-on-hand in excess of $7 million, also to be applied to the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity.

Under the provisions of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Company will not have to comply with certain financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement for the Forbearance Period, and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. However, the Company has to meet certain minimum EBITDA targets (as defined in the forbearance agreement) for the quarters ending March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. The Company has met the EBITDA target as of March 31, 2015.

---

 

 

Pursuant to the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, all loans under the Facilities shall, beginning November 1, 2014, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. Additionally, following the occurrence and continuance of any default or event of default (other than a Specified Event of Default), the Company's obligations under the Facilities shall, at the option of Chase and the Lenders, bear interest at the rate of 2.00% plus the rate otherwise in effect.

The Company and its subsidiaries have also agreed not to pay in cash any compensation to either the Company's Chief Executive Officer or President that is based on a percentage of sales or another metric other than those officer's base salary, perquisites and standard benefits provided to or on behalf of those executives under the terms of their employment agreements. Those payments may be accrued or deferred and paid in cash only after the repayment of the Facilities in full.

The Company has agreed to provide, on or before May 29, 2015, a strategic business plan for the overall direction of the Company's and its subsidiaries' businesses, including projected income statements, balance sheets, schedules of cash receipts and cash disbursements, payments and month-end balances, and detailed notes and assumptions, projected on a monthly basis through April 1, 2016. The Company has also agreed to provide quarterly updates to that plan by August 31, 2015, November 30, 2015 and February 29, 2016.

The Company continues to retain the services of both Getzler Henrich & Assoc. LLC, a third-party independent business advisor, as well as Canaccord Genuity, Inc., a banking and financial services company, and has also retained the services of Nomura Securities International, Inc., also a banking and financial services company. During the Forbearance Agreement and amendments, the Company and these advisors will continue to prepare and distribute offering memoranda and other marketing materials to prospective lenders with regard to a proposed credit facility for the Company, the proceeds of which would be in an amount sufficient to repay in full and in cash the Company's remaining obligations under the Facilities, and to explore other strategic alternatives. The closing of any such refinancing or alternative arrangement would occur no later than the end of the Forbearance Period.

The Company agreed to limit certain capital expenditures to $100,000 per quarter, except for those involving the Company's XTRAC ® or VTRAC ®  medical devices, and will not make investments or acquire any other interests in affiliated companies except as agreed to by the Lenders.

As consideration for the Lender's entry into the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Lenders certain forbearance fees (the "Forbearance Fees"), which are earned on the last business day of each of the specified months: for May and June 2015, $750,000 each month; for July through September 2015, $1,000,000 each month; for October through December 2015, $1,250,000 each month; and for January through March 2016, $1,500,000 each month. However, should the Company complete a capital transaction acceptable to the Lenders that reduces the then-outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to less than $10 million and repays all Forbearance Fees accrued and unpaid to that date, the monthly Forbearance Fee for the remainder of the Forbearance Period shall be earned and accrued in an amount that is 50% of the amount specified for each of the remaining months. In addition, the $500,000 Forbearance Fee set forth in Section 4.10(b) of the Amended Forbearance Agreement remains due and payable to the Lenders on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the Termination Date of the Forbearance Period.

The Second Amended Forbearance Agreement is also subject to customary covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of or payments on indebtedness to other persons or entities and requirements that the Company provide periodic financial information and information regarding the status of outstanding litigation involving the Company and its subsidiaries to the Lenders. As of March 31, 2015, the Company is in compliance with these covenants.

Basis of Presentation:

Accounting Principles

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 ("fiscal 2014"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") related to interim financial statements. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally required or included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are considered necessary to present fairly the results of the Company's financial position and operating results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period or for any future period.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Held for Sale Classification and Discontinued Operations

A disposal group is reported as held for sale when management has approved or received approval to sell and is committed to a formal plan, the disposal group is available for immediate sale, the business is being actively marketed, the sale is anticipated to occur during the next 12 months and certain other specified criteria are met. A disposal group classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying value of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. However, when disposal group meets the held for sale criteria, the Company, first evaluates whether the carrying amounts of the assets not covered by ASC 360-10 included in the disposal group (such as goodwill) are required to be adjusted in accordance with other applicable GAAP before measuring the disposal group at fair value less cost to sell.

Assets and liabilities related to a disposal group classified as held for sale are segregated in the consolidated balance sheet in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale.

Operations of a disposal group are reported as discontinued operations if the disposal group is classified as held for sale, the operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations as a result of a disposal transaction and we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the business after the disposal transaction. See below regarding change to the criteria for reporting discontinued operations.

The results of discontinued operations are reported in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the business meets the criteria of a discontinued operation, and include any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation is not recorded on assets of a business while it is classified as held for sale.

At December 31, 2014, held for sale assets and liabilities consisted of the LCA operating segment, and its results of operations were presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations in the periods ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 (see also Note 2 Discontinued Operations).

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from product sales when the following four criteria have been met: (i) the product has been delivered and the Company has no significant remaining obligations; (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. Revenues from product sales are recorded net of provisions for estimated chargebacks, rebates, expected returns and cash discounts.

The Company ships most of its products FOB shipping point, although from time to time certain customers, for example governmental customers, will be granted FOB destination terms. Among the factors the Company takes into account when determining the proper time at which to recognize revenue are (i) when title to the goods transfers and (ii) when the risk of loss transfers. Shipments to distributors or physicians that do not fully satisfy the collection criteria are recognized when invoiced amounts are fully paid or fully assured and included in deferred revenues until that time.

For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables within a single, contractually binding arrangement (usually sales of products with separately priced extended warranty), each element of the contract is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting when it provides the customer value on a stand-alone basis and there is objective evidence of the fair value of the related unit.

With respect to sales arrangements under which the buyer has a right to return the related product, revenue is recognized only if all the following conditions are met: the price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale; the buyer has paid, or is obligated to pay and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product; the buyer's obligation would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product; the buyer has economic substance; the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer; and the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.

The Company provides a provision for product returns based on the experience with historical sales returns, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-15 with respect to sales of product when a right of return exists. Reported revenues are shown net of the returns provision. Such allowance for sales returns is included in Other Accrued Liabilities. (See Note 9).

Deferred revenue includes amounts received with respect to extended warranty maintenance, repairs and other billable services and amounts not yet recognized as revenues. Revenues with respect to such activities are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the warranty period, the service period or when service is provided, as applicable to each service.

The Company has two distribution channels for its phototherapy treatment equipment. The Company either (i) sells its lasers through a distributor or directly to a physician or (ii) places its lasers in a physician's office (at no charge to the physician) and generally charges the physician a fee for an agreed upon number of treatments. In some cases, the Company and the customer stipulate to a quarterly or other periodic target of procedures to be performed, and accordingly revenue is recognized ratably over the period.

When the Company places a laser in a physician's office, it generally recognizes service revenue based on the number of patient treatments performed, or purchased under a periodic commitment, by the physician. Amounts collected with respect to treatments to be performed through laser-access codes that are sold to physicians free of a periodic commitment, but not yet used, are deferred and recognized as a liability until the physician performs the treatment. Unused treatments remain an obligation of the Company because the treatments can only be performed on Company-owned equipment. Once the treatments are performed, this obligation has been satisfied.

The Company defers substantially all revenue from sales of treatment codes ordered by and performed to its customers within the last two weeks of the period in determining the amount of procedures performed by its physician-customers. Management believes this approach closely approximates the actual amount of unused treatments that existed at the end of a period.

Functional Currency

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company, its U.S. subsidiaries and Radiancy Ltd., its subsidiary in Israel, are conducted is the US dollar ("$" or "dollars"). Thus, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the foreign subsidiaries mentioned below) is the dollar (which is also the reporting currency of the Group). The operations of the other foreign subsidiaries are each conducted in the local currency of the subsidiary. These currencies include: Great Britain Pounds (GBP), Brazilian Real (BRL), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Columbian Peso (COP), South Korean Won (KRW) and Indian Rupee (INR). Substantially all of the Group's revenues are derived in dollars or in other currencies linked to the dollar. Purchases of most materials and components are carried out in, or linked to the dollar.

Balances denominated in, or linked to, foreign currencies are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions included in the statement of comprehensive income (loss), the exchange rates applicable to the relevant transaction dates are used. Transaction gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such balances are carried to financing income or expenses.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC Topic 820"). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions there exists a three-tier fair-value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and short term bank deposits are based on its demand value, which is equal to its carrying value. The estimated fair values of notes payable and long term debt which are based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral and maturity approximate the carrying values. Additionally, the carrying value of all other monetary assets and liabilities is estimated to be equal to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

---

 

 

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, on a recurring basis. The fair value of derivatives generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting dates, based on the prevailing currency prices and the relevant interest rates. Such measurement is classified within Level 2.

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there are also assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain long-lived assets, including goodwill. As such, we have determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, all the derivative financial instruments are recognized as either financial assets or financial liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

From time to time the Company carries out transactions involving foreign exchange derivative financial instruments (mainly forward exchange contracts) which are expected to be paid with respect to forecasted expenses of the Israeli subsidiary (Radiancy) denominated in Israeli local currency (NIS) which is different than its functional currency.

Such derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments, and accordingly they were recognized in the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value carried to the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and included in interest and other financing expenses, net.

At March 31, 2015, the balance of such derivative instruments amounted to approximately $468 in assets and approximately $206 were recognized as financing income in the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income during the quarter ended that date.

The nominal amounts of foreign currency derivatives as of March 31, 2015 consist of forward transactions for the exchange of $7,200 into NIS as of March 31, 2015.

Accrued Warranty Costs

The Company offers a standard warranty on product sales generally for a one to two-year period. In the case of domestic sales of XTRAC lasers, however, the Company has offered longer warranty periods, ranging from three to four years, in order to meet competition or meet customer demands. The Company provides for the estimated cost of the future warranty claims on the date the product is sold. Total accrued warranty is included in Other Accrued Liabilities on the balance sheet. The activity in the warranty accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is summarized as follows:

For extended warranty on the consumer products, see Revenue Recognition above.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share were calculated using the following weighted-average shares outstanding:

Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015, exclude the impact of common stock options and warrants, totaling 3,563,503 shares, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, due to the net loss for the period. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014, excluded the impact of common stock options and warrants, totaling 2,444,016 shares, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, due to the net loss for the period.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08").

The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization's operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.

The provisions of ASU 2014-08 were required to be applied in a prospective manner to disposals or classifications as held for sale components of an entity that occur with annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years.

The company applied the provisions of ASU 2014-08 in the first quarter of 2015.

The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition and also did not affect disposals or classifications as held for sale, of components (such as the sale of LCA) that occurred before the provisions of ASU 2014-08 became effective.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, The FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09").

ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose sufficient information, both quantitative and qualitative, to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

---

 

 

An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following two methods: 1. Retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with a possibility to elect certain practical expedients, or, 2. Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If an entity elects the latter transition method, it also should provide certain additional disclosures.

For a public entity, the amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period (the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 for the Company). Early application is not permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provide guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 also provide guidance related to the required disclosures as a result of management evaluation. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.

Note 2

Discontinued Operations:

LCA, acquired by the Company on May 12, 2104, is a provider of fixed-site laser vision corrections services at its LasikPlus® vision centers. The vision centers provide the staff, facilities, equipment and support services for performing laser vision correction that employs advanced laser technologies to help correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. The vision centers are supported by independent ophthalmologists and credentialed optometrists, as well as other healthcare professionals. Substantially all of LCA's revenues are derived from the delivery of laser vision correction procedures performed in the vision centers. After preliminary investigations and discussions, the Board of Directors of the Company, with the aid of its investment banker, had reached a formal decision during December 2014 to enter into, substantive, confidential discussions with potential third-party buyers and began to develop plans for implementing a disposal of the assets and operations of the business. The Company accordingly classified this former segment as held for sale in accordance and discontinued operations with ASC Topic 360. On February 2, 2015, the Company closed on sale transaction of 100% of the shares of LCA for $40 million in cash. Excluding estimated working capital adjustments and direct expenses (professional fees to third parties), the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $37.7 million which amount is considered as the fair value less cost to sell of LCA. The sale was effective January 31, 2015. No income tax benefit was recognized by the Company from the loss on the sale of discontinued operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operating results and balance sheet items of the discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. Also, as of December 31, 2014, balance sheet items related to LCA were presented as assets held for sale and as liabilities held for sale respectively. The Company recognized an estimated loss of $44,598 on the sale of the discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2014, which included a decrease in the implied fair value of goodwill, related to LCA, of $43,091. The remaining loss of $1,507 represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying value of the disposal group. The impairment amount is categorized as level 3 measurements. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment of $41 on the sale of the discontinued operations of LCA.

Revenues from LCA, reported as discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $9,158. Loss from LCA, reported as discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1,667, which includes stock compensation of $2,363 related to the contractual acceleration of vesting of awards then outstanding to employees from LCA, included as a result of acceleration of vesting periods, due to the sale of LCA.

Acquisition:

Acquisition of LCA-Vision Inc.:

On May 12, 2014, PhotoMedex Inc., completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of LCA-Vision, a previously publicly-traded Delaware corporation.

LCA is a provider of fixed-site laser vision corrections services at its LasikPlus® vision centers. The vision centers provide the staff, facilities, equipment and support services for performing laser vision correction that employs advanced laser technologies to help correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. The vision centers are supported by independent ophthalmologists and credentialed optometrists, as well as other healthcare professionals. Substantially all of LCA's revenues are derived from the delivery of laser vision correction procedures performed in the vision centers.

---

 

 

The purchase price of LCA-Vision was $106,552 in aggregate consideration, paid in cash (including the full use of the credit facility), consisting of:

 

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on management estimates and values derived from an outside independent appraisal. The Company expected that the allocation would be finalized within twelve months after the merger. However, LCA was sold in January 2015 and it is presented as a discontinued operations, see Note 2. Accordingly management has determined to retain the provisional amounts. Based on the purchase price allocation, the following table summarizes the provisional fair value amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $49,582, which was recorded as goodwill. LCA was recognized at that time as a new reportable segment and the entire goodwill was allocated to the activities of LCA.

On January 31, 2015, the Company sold 100% of the shares of LCA-Vision Inc. for $40 million in cash. Excluding working capital adjustments and professional fees, the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $37.7 million.

Long-term Debt:

In the following table is a summary of the Company's long-term debt:

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On May 12, 2014, the Company entered into an $85 million senior secured credit facilities ("the Facilities") with JP Morgan Chase ("Chase") which included a $10 million revolving credit facility and a $75 million four-year term loan. The facilities were utilized to refinance the existing term debt with Chase, fund the acquisition of LCA and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

---

 

 

Interest is determined at Eurodollar plus a margin between 3.25% and 4.50%. The margin is updated quarterly based on the then-current leverage ratio. The facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on all assets of the Company. All current and future subsidiaries are guarantors on the facilities. There are financial covenants including; a maximum leverage covenant and a minimum fixed charge covenant, which the Company was required to maintain. These covenants will be determined quarterly based on a rolling past four quarters of financial data. As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, the Company continued to fail to meet both financial covenants and is in default of the credit facilities

On August 4, 2014, the Company received a notice of default and a reservation of rights from Chase and engaged a third-party independent advisor to assist the Company in negotiating a longer term solution to the defaults. The parties had entered into an initial Forbearance Agreement (the "Initial Forbearance Agreement") on August 25, 2014. On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the "Amended Forbearance Agreement") with the lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement and with Chase, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.

Effective February 28, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the "Second Amended Forbearance Agreement") with the lenders (the "Lenders") that are parties to the Credit Agreement dated May 12, 2014, and with JP Morgan Chase, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Events of Default from August 25, 2014 until April 1, 2016, or earlier if an event of default occurs (the "Forbearance Period"). Chase and the Lenders agreed that the Company shall not be obligated to pay the principal amounts set forth in Section 2.08(b) of the Credit Agreement for any date identified therein during the period beginning on February 28, 2015 and ending on the end of the Forbearance Period (the "Effective Period"), and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. Instead, the Lenders and the Company agreed that the Company would make prepayments against the Term Loan of $250,000 on the first business day of each month during the Forbearance Period, which will be applied in direct order of maturity. The Company also agreed that, on or before the fifth calendar day of each month, the Company would pay against the Term Loan $125,000 to the extent that the cash-on-hand exceeds $5 million, and 100% of the cash-on-hand in excess of $7 million, also to be applied to the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company paid $36,482 of principal payments on the loan.

Under the provisions of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Company will not have to comply with certain financial covenants contained in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement for the Forbearance Period, and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. However, the Company will have to meet certain minimum EBITDA targets (as defined in the forbearance agreement) for the quarters ending March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. The Company has met the EBITDA target as of March 31, 2015.

Pursuant to the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, all loans under the Facilities shall, beginning November 1, 2014, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. Additionally, following the occurrence and continuance of any default or event of default (other than a Specified Event of Default), the Company's obligations under the Facilities shall, at the option of Chase and the Lenders, bear interest at the rate of 2.00% plus the rate otherwise in effect.

The Company and its subsidiaries have also agreed not to pay in cash any compensation to either the Company's Chief Executive Officer or President that is based on a percentage of sales or another metric other than those officer's base salary, perquisites and standard benefits provided to or on behalf of those executives under the terms of their employment agreements. Those payments may be accrued or deferred and paid in cash only after the repayment of the Facilities in full.

The Company has agreed to provide, on or before May 29, 2015, a strategic business plan for the overall direction of the Company's and its subsidiaries' businesses, including projected income statements, balance sheets, schedules of cash receipts and cash disbursements, payments and month-end balances, and detailed notes and assumptions, projected on a monthly basis through April 1, 2016. The Company has also agreed to provide quarterly updates to that plan by August 31, 2015, November 30, 2015 and February 29, 2016.

The Company continues to retain the services of both Getzler Henrich & Assoc. LLC, a third-party independent business advisor, as well as Canaccord Genuity, Inc., a banking and financial services company, and has also retained the services of Nomura Securities International, Inc., also a banking and financial services company. During the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and these advisors will continue to prepare and distribute offering memoranda and other marketing materials to prospective lenders with regard to a proposed credit facility for the Company, the proceeds of which would be in an amount sufficient to repay in full and in cash the Company's remaining obligations under the Facilities, and to explore other strategic alternatives. The closing of any such refinancing or alternative arrangement would occur no later than the end of the Forbearance Period.

The Company agreed to limit certain capital expenditures to $100,000 per quarter, except for those involving the Company's XTRAC ® or VTRAC ®  medical devices, and will not make investments or acquire any other interests in affiliated companies except as agreed to by the Lenders.

As consideration for the Lender's entry into the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Lenders certain forbearance fees (the "Forbearance Fees"), which are payable on the last business day of each of the specified months: for May and June 2015, $750,000 each month; for July through September 2015, $1,000,000 each month; for October through December 2015, $1,250,000 each month; and for January through March 2016, $1,500,000 each month. However, should the Company complete a capital transaction acceptable to the Lenders that reduces the then-outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to less than $10 million and repays all Forbearance Fees accrued and unpaid to that date, the monthly Forbearance Fee for the remainder of the Forbearance Period shall be earned and accrued in an amount that is 50% of the amount specified for each of the remaining months. In addition, the $500,000 Forbearance Fee set forth in Section 4.10(b) of the Amended Forbearance Agreement remains due and payable to the Lenders on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the Termination Date of the Forbearance Period. All Forbearance Fees are considered earned and are included in the Obligations under the Credit Agreement. The total Forbearance Fees are being expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company expensed $1,481 of these forbearance fees.

The Second Amended Forbearance Agreement is also subject to customary covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of or payments on indebtedness to other persons or entities and requirements that the Company provide periodic financial information and information regarding the status of outstanding litigation involving the Company and its subsidiaries to the Lenders.

The following table summarizes the future minimum payments that the Company expects to make for long-term debt:

Note 11

Income Taxes:

The Company's tax expense includes federal, state and foreign income taxes at statutory rates and the effects of various permanent differences.

The difference between the Company's effective tax rates for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and the U.S. Federal statutory rate (34%) resulted primarily from current federal and state losses for which no tax benefit is provided due to the 100% valuation allowance for those jurisdictions. In addition, the Israeli and UK subsidiaries' earnings are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate (Israel 26.5% standard corporation tax rate and in the UK 20%).

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had no material changes to liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company is currently under examination for its 2012 federal return and various states. At this time, the Company does not believe that the results of these examinations will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 12

Commitments and contingencies:

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Radiancy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PhotoMedex, commenced legal action against Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc., over Viatek's Pearl and Samba hair removal products which Radiancy believes infringe the intellectual property covering its no!no! hair removal devices. The first suit, which was filed in the United States Federal Court, Southern District of New York, includes claims against Viatek for patent infringement, trademark and trade dress infringement, and false and misleading advertising. A second suit against Viatek was filed in Canada, where the Pearl is offered on that country's The Shopping Channel, alleging trademark and trade dress infringement, and false and misleading advertising. Viatek's response contains a variety of counterclaims and affirmative defenses against both Radiancy and its parent company PhotoMedex, including, among other counts, claims regarding the invalidity of Radiancy's patents and antitrust allegations regarding Radiancy's conduct.

Radiancy, and PhotoMedex, had moved to dismiss PhotoMedex from the case, and to dismiss the counterclaims and affirmative defenses asserted by Viatek. On March 28, 2014, the Court granted the Company's motion and dismissed PhotoMedex from the lawsuit. The Court also dismissed certain counterclaims and affirmative defenses asserted by Viatek, including Viatek's counterclaims against Radiancy for antitrust, unfair competition, and tortious interference with business relationships and Viatek's affirmative defenses of unclean hands and inequitable conduct before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in procuring its patent. Radiancy had also moved for sanctions against Viatek for failure to provide meaningful and timely responses to Radiancy's discovery requests; on April 1, 2014, the Court granted that motion. Viatek appealed both the sanctions ruling and the dismissal of Viatek's counterclaims and defenses from the case, as well as PhotoMedex dismissal as a plaintiff; the Court has denied those appeals. The Court has appointed a Special Master to oversee discovery. A Markman hearing on the patents at issue was held on March 2, 2015. Viatek has requested an opportunity to supplement its patent invalidity contentions in the US case; Radiancy opposes that request. Radiancy has been granted permission by the US Court to supplement its earlier sanctions motion to include the legal fees and costs associated with preparing and prosecuting that motion. As of March 31, 2015, discovery and related court hearings continue in both the US and the Canadian cases. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated as the case is still in the early stages of discovery to determine the validity of any claim or claims made by Viatek. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any reserve or contingent liability related to this particular legal matter. However, in the future, as the case progresses, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for this matter.

On December 20, 2013, PhotoMedex, Inc. was served with a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Company and its two top executives, Dolev Rafaeli, Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis M. McGrath, President and Chief Financial Officer. The suit alleges various violations of the Federal securities laws between November 7, 2012 and November 14, 2013.

A mediation on possible settlement of this action was held on November 10, 2014; the parties including the Company's insurance carrier have agreed on a possible settlement. On March 11, 2015, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving that proposed settlement, which provides a fund of $1.5 million for the benefit of those persons or entities who purchased securities issued by the Company during the period November 6, 2012 and November 5, 2013, inclusive.  The settlement fund will also pay for plaintiffs' counsel's fees and expenses approved by the Court with respect to the action. The Company maintains insurance that will help defray the cost of the proposed settlement, and does not expect the proposed settlement to have a material impact on its financial results. The proposed settlement is subject to final approval by the Court.  A hearing has been scheduled at 9:30 a.m., on July 20, 2015 to determine whether to (i) approve the settlement, (ii) dismiss the action with prejudice, and (iii) provide for the payment of plaintiffs' counsel's attorney's fees and expenses, and consider an application for reimbursement of expenses (including lost wages) of the lead plaintiff. The Company has paid its own legal fees up to the deductible cap on its insurance policy, and all amounts to be paid to plaintiffs and plaintiff's counsel will be paid by the carrier of the insurance policy.

The Company was served on July 29, 2014 with an application to certify a class action, filed in Israel District Court for Tel Aviv against the Company and its two top executives, Dolev Rafaeli, Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis M. McGrath, President and Chief Financial Officer. The plaintiffs' who initiated this complaint have agreed to be part of, and be bound by, the possible settlement reached in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Company and the same two top executives.

There were multiple class-action lawsuits filed in connection with PhotoMedex's proposed acquisition of LCA-Vision, Inc. All cases asserted claims against LCA-Vision, Inc., and a mix of other defendants, including LCA's chief executive officer and directors, PhotoMedex, and Gatorade Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of PhotoMedex. The complaints generally allege that the proposed acquisition undervalued LCA and deprived LCA's shareholders of the opportunity to participate in LCA's long-term financial prospects, that the "go shop" and "deal-protection" provisions of the Merger Agreement were designed to prevent LCA from soliciting or receiving competing offers, that LCA's Board breached its fiduciary duties and failed to maximize that company's stockholder value, and that LCA, PhotoMedex, and Gatorade aided and abetted the LCA defendants' alleged breaches of duty. The parties have reached a possible settlement in these suits. On March 23, 2015, the Ohio Court entered an order preliminarily approving that proposed settlement. Under the terms of settlement, LCA had published certain additional disclosure statements regarding its acquisition by the Company and its financial statements prior to its shareholder vote on the acquisition, which was held on May 12, 2014. The settlement also provides for the proposed payment of plaintiffs' counsel's fees and expenses with respect to the action. The Company believes that LCA maintains insurance that will help defray the cost of the proposed settlement; the Company will contribute less than $100,000 to the settlement, plus the payment of its legal fees, and does not expect the proposed settlement to have a material impact on its financial results. The proposed settlement is subject to final approval by the Court. A hearing has been scheduled at 8:30 a.m., on June 19, 2015 to determine whether to approve the settlement, whether the settlement provided adequate notice to shareholders, thereafter dismiss the action with prejudice, whether the court should enter a complete bar order regarding this matter, and whether to provide for the payment of plaintiffs' counsel's attorney's fees and expenses.

On April 25, 2014, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the Company's subsidiary, Radiancy, Inc. and Dolev Rafaeli, Radiancy's President. The suit was filed by Jan Mouzon and twelve other customers residing in ten different states who purchased Radiancy's no!no! Hair products. It alleges various violations of state business and consumer protection codes including false and misleading advertising, unfair trade practices, and breach of express and implied warranties. The complaint seeks certification of the putative class, or, alternatively, certification as subclasses of plaintiffs residing in those specific states. The complaint also seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, pre-and post-judgment interest and attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs. Dr. Rafaeli was served with the Complaint on May 5, 2014; to date, Radiancy, has not been served. A mediation was scheduled in this matter for November 24, 2014, but no settlement was reached. On March 30, 2015, the Court dismissed this action in its entirety for failure to state a claim. The Court specifically dismissed with prejudice the claims pursuant to New York General Business Law §§349-50 and the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose; the other counts against Radiancy were dismissed without prejudice. The Court also granted Dr. Rafaeli's motion to dismiss the actions against him for lack of

personal jurisdiction over him by the Court. The Court denied the plaintiffs request for jurisdictional discovery with respect to Dr. Rafaeli and plaintiffs request to amend the complaint. Radiancy and its officers intend to continue to vigorously defend themselves against any attempts to continue this lawsuit. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated as the case has only been initiated and no discovery has been conducted to determine the validity of any claim or claims made by plaintiffs. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any reserve or contingent liability related to these particular legal matters. However, in the future, as the cases progress, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for these matters.

On June 30, 2014, the Company's subsidiary, Radiancy, Inc., was served with a class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court in the State of California, County of Kern. The suit was filed by April Cantley, who purchased Radiancy's no!no! Hair products. It alleges various violations of state business and consumer protection codes including false and misleading advertising, breach of express and implied warranties and breach of the California Legal Remedies Act. The complaint seeks certification of the class, which consists of customers in the State of California who purchased the no!no! Hair devices. The complaint also seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, pre-and post-judgment interest and attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs. Radiancy has filed an Answer to this Complaint; the case is now in the discovery phase. Radiancy and its officers intend to vigorously defend themselves against this lawsuit. Discovery has now commenced in this action. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated as the case has only been initiated and no discovery has been conducted to determine the validity of any claim or claims made by plaintiffs. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any reserve or contingent liability related to these particular legal matters. However, in the future, as the cases progress, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for these matters.

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, and claims regarding false advertising and product efficacy which were already raised and reviewed in the Tria litigation. We believe, based on discussions with legal counsel, that these other litigations and claims will likely be resolved without a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in these matters, we may, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a particular period.

Employee Stock Benefit Plans:

Post-Reverse Merger

The Company has a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. This plan has authorized 370,000 shares; of which 7,000 shares had been issued or were reserved for issuance as awards of shares of common stock, and 12,912 shares were reserved for outstanding stock options. The directors, who were elected to our Board in connection with the reverse merger, each received a one-time stock award of 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock in January 2012.

In addition, the Company has a 2005 Equity Compensation Plan ("2005 Equity Plan"). The 2005 Equity Plan has authorized 6,000,000 shares, of which 3,071,095 shares had been issued or were reserved for issuance as awards of shares of common stock, and 966,526 shares were reserved for outstanding options as of March 31, 2015.

---

 

 

Stock option activity under all of the Company's share-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was as follows:

At March 31, 2015, there was $7,260 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested option grants and stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years. The intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2015 was not significant.

The Company calculates expected volatility for share-based grants based on historic daily stock price observations of its common stock. For estimating the expected term of share-based grants made in the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company has adopted the simplified method. The Company has used historical data to estimate expected employee behaviors related to option exercises and forfeitures and included these expected forfeitures as a part of the estimate of expense as of the grant date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value of grants of stock options. With respect to grants of options, the risk-free rate of interest is based on the U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of the grant or award.

On February 26, 2015, the Company issued 1,495,000 restricted stock units to a number of employees. The restricted shares have a purchase price of $0.01 per share and vest, and cease to be subject to the Company's right of repurchase, over a four-year period. The Company determined the fair value of the awards to be the quoted market price of the Company's common stock units on the date of issuance less the value paid for the award. The aggregate fair value of these restricted stock units issued was $2,766.

Total stock based compensation expense was $3,337, including $2,363 that is included in discontinued operations, and $1,262 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, including amounts relating to consultants.

Note 14

Business Segments and Geographic Data:

The Company organized its business into three operating segments to better align its organization based upon the Company's management structure, products and services offered, markets served and types of customers, as follows: The Consumer segment derives its revenues from the design, development, manufacturing and selling of long-term hair reduction and acne consumer products. The Physician Recurring segment derives its revenues from the XTRAC procedures performed by dermatologists, the sales of skincare products, the sales of surgical disposables and accessories to hospitals and surgery centers and on the repair, maintenance and replacement parts on our various products. The Professional segment generates revenues from the sale of equipment, such as lasers, medical and esthetic light and heat-based products and LED products. Management reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for the purposes of making certain operating decisions and assessing financial performance. For a period during 2014 through January 31, 2015 the Company had a fourth operating segment, Clinics segment. This represented our LCA business which is classified as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2014. See also Note 2, Discontinued Operations.

Unallocated operating expenses include costs that are not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group; included are expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, professional fees and other similar corporate expenses. Interest and other financing income (expense), net is also not allocated to the operating segments. Unallocated assets include cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and deposits.

The following tables reflect results of operations from our business segments for the periods indicated below:

Note 16

Subsequent Events:

In April 2015, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement, by its Radiancy Inc. subsidiary, with Synergy Trading Corporation for certain no!no!™ products in Japan. This agreement includes Radiancy's no!no! 8800 and no!no! PRO. In addition, Synergy will launch two new no!no! models during 2016 and has a right of first refusal to market additional Radiancy consumer products. The agreement runs through December 31, 2016 and is renewable thereafter. Synergy placed an initial stocking order of $1.2 million for immediate shipment.

The Company entered into a Third Amendment to Standard Industrial/commercial Multi-Tenant Lease-Net, effective April 30, 2015, for our manufacturing facility located in Carlsbad, California. The Amendment extends the lease for that facility an additional twenty-four months; the lease now expires on September 30, 2017. Monthly base rent for the facility for the period October 1, 2015-September 30, 2016 is set at $16,227; that monthly base rent increases to $16,714 for the succeeding twelve months. The Base Rent includes a one-time Lessee Improvement Allowance up to $42,000 to perform certain improvements to the facility. The lease also requires the Company to pay its proportionate share of certain expenses, including real property taxes, real property insurance and common area maintenance charges.

The following financial data, in this narrative, are expressed in thousands, except for the earnings per share.

Introduction, Outlook and Overview of Business Operations

Our technologies, products and research efforts are directed to addressing a worldwide aesthetic industry. We provide dermatologists, professional aestheticians, and consumers with the equipment and skin care products they need to treat psoriasis, vitiligo, acne, and UV damage, among other skin conditions. In December 2011, PhotoMedex merged with Radiancy Inc. which brought to PhotoMedex the no!no!® line of home-use consumer products for hair removal, acne treatment, skin rejuvenation and lower back pain. Radiancy also markets capital equipment to physicians, salons and med spas for hair removal, acne treatment, skin tightening and rejuvenation and psoriasis care. In addition to a synergistic product line, Radiancy possesses a proprietary consumer marketing engine built upon direct-to-consumer sales and creative marketing programs that drive brand awareness. During 2013 and throughout 2014, we began to benefit from the impact of these marketing methodologies and expertise on our XTRAC® Excimer Laser and NEOVA® topical skin care lines while continuing to realize organic and geographic growth of additional brands.

To execute our strategic initiatives, we rely in part on a.) a skilled sales force to target Physicians and other healthcare professionals; b.) a developed expertize in global consumer marketing; and c.) a business model addressing the full product life cycle representing the ability to develop and commercialize innovative products from concept thru regulatory and physician acceptance, ultimately marketed directly to the consumer as dictated by normal product life cycle evolution.

We believe that we are one of only a few aesthetic companies to have succeeded in taking professional technologies geared toward physicians and med spas and adapting them for the home-use market. Our professional- and consumer-use products are listed below, noting that this is not an exhaustive listing of our product portfolio but represents our current key areas of focus.

Key Technology Platforms

---

Our revenue generation is categorized as Consumer, Physician-Recurring or Professional. Each segment benefits from the combination of our proprietary global consumer marketing engine with our direct sales force for U.S. physicians.

Consumer

The global consumer market is our largest business unit due to our success at bringing professional technologies into the home-use arena. Cumulatively, we have sold more than 5 million no!no!® products to consumers, the majority of whom have been in Japan and North America.

We believe we have opportunity for further expansion given the cumulative number of the no!no! brand products we've sold (more than 5 million) versus the size of the major markets where we have presence and/or substantive marketing initiatives, including:, the United States with approximately 318 million people; Japan with a population of approximately 127 million people; Brazil (pop.187 million); Germany (pop. 81 million); United Kingdom (pop. 64 million); Columbia (pop. 47 million); Canada (pop. 35 million); Australia (pop. 23 million) and Hong Kong (pop. 7 million).

Our consumer marketing platform is built upon a proprietary direct-to-consumer sales engine and creative marketing programs that drive brand awareness, in addition to presence in select retail and live Home Shopping Channels.

---

Sales Channels

Our multi-channel marketing and distribution model consists of television, online, print and radio direct-response advertising, as well as high-end retailers. We believe that this marketing and distribution model, through which each channel complements and supports the others, provides:

Direct to Consumer. Our direct-to-consumer channel consists of sales generated through infomercials, commercials, websites and call centers. We utilize several forms of advertising to drive our direct-to-consumer sales and brand awareness, including print, online, television and radio.

Retailers and Home Shopping Channels. Our retailers and home shopping channels enable us to provide additional points of contact to educate consumers about our solutions, expand our presence beyond our direct to consumer activity and further strengthen and enhance our brand image.

Distributors. In some territories, we operate through exclusive distribution agreements with leading distribution companies that are dominant in their respective market and have the ability to promote our products through their existing retail and home shopping networks.

North America. Our consumer distribution segment in North America had sales of approximately $13 million and $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We use a mix of direct-to-consumer advertising that includes infomercials, commercials, catalog, print, radio and internet-based marketing campaigns, coupled with select retail resellers, such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Henri Bendel, Planet Beauty, Bed, Bath & Beyond and others; home shopping channels such as HSN; and online retailers such as Dermadoctor.com and Drugstore.com. We believe these channels complement each other, as consumers that have seen our direct-to-consumer advertising may purchase at our retailers, and those who have seen our solutions demonstrated at our retailers may purchase solutions through our websites or call centers.

International (excluding North America). In the international consumer segment, sales were approximately $5 million and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We utilize various sales and marketing methods including sales by direct-to-consumer, sales to retailers and home shopping channels. Our main international markets are Japan, United Kingdom and Australia with the recent additions of Germany, Brazil, Columbia and Hong Kong.

Physician Recurring

Physician recurring sales primarily include those generated from two of our product lines: (1) XTRAC® lasers, a noninvasive, FDA-cleared solution for psoriasis and vitiligo, and (2) NEOVA® skin care, a topical therapy combining DNA repair enzymes and copper peptide complexes to prevent premature skin aging. Both XTRAC and NEOVA represent recurring revenue streams with significant market opportunities. In addition, our expertise in direct-to-consumer advertising and innovative marketing programs is anticipated to drive greater brand awareness and adoption for both XTRAC and NEOVA products.

XTRAC®

The XTRAC business is considered a recurring revenue stream given its pay-per-use model, where the machines are provided to professionals who then pay us based on the number of treatments administered with the device. We have historically employed a direct sales force marketing primarily to dermatologists to create awareness of the XTRAC therapy. Beginning in 2012 we initiated direct to patient XTRAC advertising in the United States targeted at psoriasis and vitiligo patients through testing a variety of media including television and radio. We continue to increase our advertising expenditures in this area to reach the more than 10 million patients in the United States afflicted with these diseases.

---

NEOVA®

Sales of the NEOVA skin care products historically have been driven by physicians, who act as spokespersons to their patients in support of the NEOVA line. We have marketed to physicians in the dermatology and plastic surgery field, through a direct sales force but have begun to supplement these efforts with a direct-to-consumer approach to lead patients into those practices. NEOVA addresses a sizeable global market for anti-aging skin care products. In addition, we have increased marketing exposure to NEOVA by offering an introduction to the product line as an added-value purchase to consumers responding to our no!no! brand advertising.

Professional

Sales under the professional business segment are mainly generated from capital equipment, such as our XTRAC-Velocity and VTRAC equipment, our LHE® brand products and our Omnilux and Lumière Light Therapy systems.

We view this segment as an area of opportunity for us since the reverse acquisition with Radiancy, Inc., or Radiancy, completed on December 13, 2011. We now possess a greatly expanded product offering for the physician community. In addition, following the December 2011 reverse acquisition, we inherited from Pre-merged PhotoMedex a 48-person, experienced direct sales force that already reaches a network of approximately 3,000 physician locations in the U.S. We are now also distributing through this direct sales force the LHE-based professional products in addition to our other equipment to physicians, dermatologists, salons, spas, and other aesthetic practitioners. We view this fully trained sales staff as a significant opportunity, as well as a resource in expanding the Professional segment of our revenues.

Sales and Marketing

As of March 31, 2015, our sales and marketing personnel consisted of 89 full-time positions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates made in accordance with them are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under "Critical Accounting Policies" in our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Results of Operations (The following financial data, in this narrative, are expressed in thousands, except for the earnings per share.)

Revenues

The following table presents revenues from our three business segments for the periods indicated below:

---

Consumer Segment

The following table illustrates the key changes in the revenues of the Consumer segment, by sales channel, for the periods reflected below:

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, consumer products revenues were $18,129 compared to $40,870 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease of 55.6% during the periods was mainly due to the following reasons:

The following table illustrates the key changes in the revenues of the Consumer segment, by markets, for the periods reflected below:

---

Physician Recurring Segment

The following table illustrates the key changes in the revenues of the Physician Recurring segment for the periods reflected below:

Recognized treatment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $5,376, which approximates 77,000 treatments, with prices between $65 to $95 per treatment, compared to recognized treatment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $4,410, which approximates 63,000 treatments with prices between $65 to $85 per treatment. Increases in procedures are dependent upon building market acceptance through marketing programs with our physician partners and their patients to show that the XTRAC procedures will be of clinical benefit and will be generally reimbursed by insurers. We have historically employed a direct sales force marketing primarily to dermatologists to create awareness of the XTRAC therapy. Beginning in 2012 we initiated direct to patient XTRAC advertising in the United States targeted at psoriasis and vitiligo patients through testing a variety of media including television and radio. We continue to increase our advertising expenditures in this area to reach the more than 10 million patients in the United States afflicted with these diseases.

We defer substantially all sales of treatment codes ordered by and delivered to the customer within the last two weeks of the period in determining the amount of procedures performed by our physician-customers. Management believes this approach closely approximates the actual amount of unused treatments that existed at the end of a period. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we deferred net revenues of $169 under this approach compared to deferred net revenues of $81 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, revenues were $1,327 compared to $1,927 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These revenues are generated from the sale of various skin, hair, and wound care products to physicians in both the domestic and international markets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, revenues were $371 and $397, respectively. These revenues are generated from the sale of various related laser fibers and laser disposables in both the domestic and international markets.

The following table illustrates the key changes in the revenues of the Physicians Recurring segment, by markets, for the periods reflected below:

---

Professional Segment

The following table illustrates the key changes in the revenues of the Professional segment for the periods reflected below:

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, dermatology equipment revenues were $1,648 and $1,215, respectively. There were no domestic XTRAC laser sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. We sell the laser directly to the customer only for certain reasons, including the costs of logistical support and customer preference. Our preference is to consign lasers to customers which will thrive under the per-procedure model. Internationally, we sold forty systems for the three months ended March 31, 2015, fifteen of which were VTRAC systems, a lamp-based alternative UVB light source that has a wholesale sales price that is below our competitors' international dermatology equipment and below our XTRAC laser. Internationally, we sold thirty-three systems for the three months ended March 31, 2014, twenty of which were VTRAC systems.

LHE® brand products revenues include revenues derived from the sales of mainly Mistral™, Kona™, FSD™, SpaTouch Elite™ and accessories. These devices are sold to physicians, spas and beauty salons.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, LHE® brand products revenues were $437 and $470, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, Omnilux/Lumiere equipment revenues were $239 and $271, respectively. These revenues are generated from the sale of LED devices. The Omnilux units are sold for medical applications and the Lumière is a sister technology to Omnilux with the same patent protection, but it is designed for use in non-medical applications, especially at salons and spas.

Surgical lasers revenues include revenues derived from the sales of surgical laser systems. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, surgical laser revenues were $138, representing five laser systems and $30, representing one laser system, respectively.

The following table illustrates the key changes in the revenues of the Professional segment, by markets, for the periods reflected below:

Cost of Revenues: all segments

The following table illustrates cost of revenues from our three business segments for the periods listed below:

Overall, cost of revenues has decreased in the segments due to the related decrease in the consumer revenues.

Gross Profit Analysis

Gross profit decreased to $20,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $39,730 during the same period in 2014. As a percentage of revenues, the gross margin was 71.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 79.3% during the same period in 2014.

The following table analyzes changes in our gross margin for the periods presented below:

The primary reasons for the changes in gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, were due mainly to decreases in direct response revenues as well as home shopping and retailers within the Consumer segment. Offsetting this, the Physician Recurring segment had 5% greater revenues than the prior year period with a greater gross margin percentage driven by greater utilization of our installed base of XTRAC equipment.

The following table analyzes the gross profit for our Consumer segment for the periods presented below:

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $19,988 from the comparable period in 2014. The key factor for this decrease was the decrease in all channels of consumer revenues.

---

The following table analyzes the gross profit for our Physician Recurring segment for the periods presented below:

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $392 from the comparable period in 2014. The primary reason for the increased gross margin is the increase in number of XTRAC treatments on the existing installed laser base of equipment. Incremental treatments delivered on existing equipment incur negligible incremental costs.

The following table analyzes the gross profit for our Professional segment for the periods presented below:

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was consistent with the comparable period in 2014.

Engineering and Product Development

Engineering and product development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased to $755 from $795 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The majority of this expense relates to the salaries of our worldwide engineering and product development team and is in line with the prior year.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, selling and marketing expenses decreased to $20,132 from $31,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily for the following reasons:

 

 

---

 

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, general and administrative expenses decreased to $4,729 from $7,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was due to the following reasons:

Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net

Net interest and other financing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased to $2,551 from $147 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase of $2,404 is mainly due to an increase in interest expense of $2,376, which included $1,481 of forbearance fees that were accrued for during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The interest expense was related to the long term debt that was entered into in May 2014. The remaining change was due to currency fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar versus the New Israeli Shekel, the Euro, the GBP and the Australian Dollar. The functional currency of all U.S. members of the group, as well as Radiancy Ltd. (Israel), is the U.S. Dollar. The other foreign subsidiaries' functional currency is the each subsidiaries' respective local currency.

Taxes on Income, Net

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the net taxes on income amounted to $365 as compared to a benefit of $79 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Net Loss

The factors described above resulted in net loss, including discontinued operations, of $10,013 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $345 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of 2802%.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere within this report, in accordance with GAAP, management provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted income.

Management's reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance readers' overall understanding of our current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes.

---

Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. In addition, management believes non-GAAP measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this report is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2015, our current ratio was 1.52 compared to 1.24 at December 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015 we had $17,443 of working capital compared to $25,537 as of December 31, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents were $6,199 as of March 31, 2015, as compared to $10,605 as of December 31, 2014. In addition, we had $87 in short term bank deposits as of December 31, 2014.

On May 12, 2014, we entered into an $85 million senior secured credit facilities ("the Facilities") with JP Morgan Chase ("Chase") which included a $10 million revolving credit facility and a $75 million four-year term loan. The facilities were utilized to refinance the existing term debt with Chase, fund the acquisition of LCA and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Interest was initially determined at Eurodollar plus a margin between 3.25% and 4.50%. The margin is updated quarterly based on the then-current leverage ratio. The facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on all our assets. All current and future subsidiaries are guarantors on the facilities. There were financial covenants including; a maximum leverage covenant and a minimum fixed charge covenant, which we must maintain. These covenants will be determined quarterly based on a rolling past four quarters of financial data.

On August 4, 2014, we received a notice of default and a reservation of rights from Chase and engaged a third-party independent advisor to assist us in negotiating a longer term solution to the defaults. The parties had entered into an initial Forbearance Agreement (the "Initial Forbearance Agreement") on August 25, 2014. On November 4, 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the "Amended Forbearance Agreement") with the lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement and with Chase, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.

As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, we continued to fail to meet both financial covenants and are in default of the credit facilities.

Effective February 28, 2015, we entered into an Second Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the "Second Amended Forbearance Agreement") with the lenders (the "Lenders") that are parties to the Credit Agreement dated May 12, 2014, and with JP Morgan Chase, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.

---

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Events of Default from August 25, 2014 until April 1, 2016, or earlier if an event of default occurs (the "Forbearance Period"). Chase and the Lenders agreed that we shall not be obligated to pay the principal amounts set forth in Section 2.08(b) of the Credit Agreement for any date identified therein during the period beginning on February 28, 2015 and ending on the end of the Forbearance Period (the "Effective Period"), and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. Instead, the Lenders and the Company agreed that we would make prepayments against the Term Loan of $250,000 on the first business day of each month during the Forbearance Period, which will be applied in direct order of maturity. We also agreed that, on or before the fifth calendar day of each month, we would pay against the Term Loan $125,000 to the extent that the cash-on-hand exceeds $5 million, and 100% of the cash-on-hand in excess of $7 million, also to be applied to the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity.

Under the provisions of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, we will not have to comply with certain financial covenants contained in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement for the Forbearance Period, and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. However, we will have to meet certain minimum EBITDA targets (as defined in the forbearance agreement) for the quarters ending March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. The Company has met the minimum EBITDA target for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Pursuant to the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, all loans under the Facilities shall, beginning November 1, 2014, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. Additionally, following the occurrence and continuance of any default or event of default (other than a Specified Event of Default), our obligations under the Facilities shall, at the option of Chase and the Lenders, bear interest at the rate of 2.00% plus the rate otherwise in effect.

We and our subsidiaries have also agreed not to pay in cash any compensation to the either our Chief Executive Officer or President that is based on a percentage of sales or another metric other than those officer's base salary, perquisites and standard benefits provided to or on behalf of those executives under the terms of their employment agreements. Those payments may be accrued or deferred and paid in cash only after the repayment of the Facilities in full.

We have agreed to provide, on or before May 29, 2015, a strategic business plan for the overall direction of the Company and our subsidiaries' businesses, including projected income statements, balance sheets, schedules of cash receipts and cash disbursements, payments and month-end balances, and detailed notes and assumptions, projected on a monthly basis through April 1, 2016. We have also agreed to provide quarterly updates to that plan by August 31, 2015, November 30, 2015 and February 29, 2016.

We continue to retain the services of both Getzler Henrich & Assoc. LLC, a third-party independent business advisor, as well as Canaccord Genuity, Inc., a banking and financial services company, and have also retained the services of Nomura Securities International, Inc., also a banking and financial services company. During the Forbearance Agreement, we and our advisors will continue to prepare and distribute offering memoranda and other marketing materials to prospective lenders with regard to a proposed credit facility for us, the proceeds of which would be in an amount sufficient to repay in full and in cash our remaining obligations under the Facilities, and to explore other strategic alternatives. The closing of any such refinancing or alternative arrangement would occur no later than the end of the Forbearance Period.

We have agreed to limit certain capital expenditures to $100,000 per quarter, except for those involving our XTRAC ® or VTRAC ®  medical devices, and will not make investments or acquire any other interests in affiliated companies except as agreed to by the Lenders.

---

As consideration for the Lender's entry into the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, we has agreed to pay the Lenders certain forbearance fees (the "Forbearance Fees"), which are earned on the last business day of each of the specified months: for May and June 2015, $750,000 each month; for July through September 2015, $1,000,000 each month; for October through December 2015, $1,250,000 each month; and for January through March 2016, $1,500,000 each month. However, should we complete a capital transaction acceptable to the Lenders that reduces the then-outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to less than $10 million and repays all Forbearance Fees accrued and unpaid to that date, the monthly Forbearance Fee for the remainder of the Forbearance Period shall be earned and accrued in an amount that is 50% of the amount specified for each of the remaining months.  In addition, the $500,000 Forbearance Fee set forth in Section 4.10(b) of the Amended Forbearance Agreement remains due and payable to the Lenders on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the Termination Date of the Forbearance Period. All Forbearance Fees are considered earned and are included in the Obligations under the Credit Agreement.  The total Forbearance Fees are being expensed over the period of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement.

The Second Amended Forbearance Agreement is also subject to customary covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of or payments on indebtedness to other persons or entities and requirements that we provide periodic financial information and information regarding the status of outstanding litigation involving us and our subsidiaries to the Lenders.

On December 12, 2014, we closed on a registered offering in which wet sold an aggregate of 645,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $2.19 per share. The sale resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1.4 million.

We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, capital asset purchases, outstanding commitments and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations through the first quarter of 2016. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to comply with all of the terms of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement. To the extent that we fail to comply with the terms of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders have the right to declare all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and Facilities due and payable, including principal and interest, and to enforce additional obligations under the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement. Such a result would have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.

Net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities was $3,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $4,486 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The primary reason for the change was the sale of LCA-Vision during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Net cash and cash equivalents provided by investing activities was $36,543 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to cash used in investing activities of $6,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The primary reason for the change was the sale of LCA-Vision during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

When we retire a laser from service that is no longer useable, we write off the net book value of the laser, which is typically negligible. Over the last few years, such retirements of lasers from service have been immaterial.

Net cash and cash equivalents used by financing activities was $36,817 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $5,224 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had payments on credit facilities of $36,478 and $189 for certain notes payable.

Commitments and Contingencies

There were no items that significantly impacted our commitments and contingencies as discussed in the notes to our 2014 annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2015, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

We have not operated in a highly inflationary period, and we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on sales or expenses.

Forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "predict," "intend," "potential" and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance, time frames or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, time frames or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks, uncertainties and other factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in greater detail under Item 1A. "Risk Factors." Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this filing. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We hereby qualify our forward-looking statements by our cautionary statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K that we filed for the year ended December 31, 2014.

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), as of March 31, 2015. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level described below.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting in our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - Other Information

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Radiancy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PhotoMedex, commenced legal action against Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc., over Viatek's Pearl and Samba hair removal products which Radiancy believes infringe the intellectual property covering its no!no! hair removal devices. The first suit, which was filed in the United States Federal Court, Southern District of New York, includes claims against Viatek for patent infringement, trademark and trade dress infringement, and false and misleading advertising. A second suit against Viatek was filed in Canada, where the Pearl is offered on that country's The Shopping Channel, alleging trademark and trade dress infringement, and false and misleading advertising. Viatek's response contains a variety of counterclaims and affirmative defenses against both Radiancy and its parent company PhotoMedex, including, among other counts, claims regarding the invalidity of Radiancy's patents and antitrust allegations regarding Radiancy's conduct.

Radiancy, and PhotoMedex, had moved to dismiss PhotoMedex from the case, and to dismiss the counterclaims and affirmative defenses asserted by Viatek. On March 28, 2014, the Court granted the Company's motion and dismissed PhotoMedex from the lawsuit. The Court also dismissed certain counterclaims and affirmative defenses asserted by Viatek, including Viatek's counterclaims against Radiancy for antitrust, unfair competition, and tortious interference with business relationships and Viatek's affirmative defenses of unclean hands and inequitable conduct before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in procuring its patent. Radiancy also moved for sanctions against Viatek for failure to provide meaningful and timely responses to Radiancy's discovery requests; on April 1, 2014, the Court granted that motion. Viatek appealed both the sanctions ruling and the dismissal of Viatek's counterclaims and defenses from the case, as well as PhotoMedex's dismissal as a plaintiff; the Court has denied those appeals. The Court has appointed a Special Master to oversee discovery. A Markman hearing on the patents at issue was held on March 2, 2015. Viatek has requested an opportunity to supplement its patent invalidity contentions in the US case; Radiancy opposes that request. Radiancy has been granted permission by the US Court to supplement its earlier sanctions motion to include the legal fees and costs associated with preparing and prosecuting that motion. As of March 31, 2015, discovery and related court hearings continue in both the US and the Canadian cases. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated as the case is still in the early stages of discovery to determine the validity of any claim or claims made by Viatek. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any reserve or contingent liability related to this particular legal matter. However, in the future, as the case progresses, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for this matter. 

On December 20, 2013, PhotoMedex, Inc. was served with a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Company and its two top executives, Dolev Rafaeli, Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis M. McGrath, President and Chief Financial Officer. The suit alleged various violations of the Federal securities laws between November 7, 2012 and November 14, 2013. A mediation on possible settlement of this action was held on November 10, 2014; the parties including the Company's insurance carrier have agreed on a possible settlement. On March 11, 2015, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving that proposed settlement, which provides a fund of $1.5 million for the benefit of those persons or entities who purchased securities issued by the Company during the period November 6, 2012 and November 5, 2013, inclusive.  The settlement fund will also pay for plaintiffs' counsel's fees and expenses approved by the Court with respect to the action. The Company maintains insurance that will help defray the cost of the proposed settlement, and does not expect the proposed settlement to have a material impact on its financial results. The proposed settlement is subject to final approval by the Court. A hearing has been scheduled at 9:30 a.m., on July 20, 2015 to determine whether to (i) approve the settlement, (ii) dismiss the action with prejudice, and (iii) provide for the payment of plaintiffs' counsel's attorney's fees and expenses, and consider an application for reimbursement of expenses (including lost wages) of the lead plaintiff. The Company has paid its own legal fees up to the deductible cap on its insurance policy, and all amounts to be paid to plaintiffs and plaintiff's counsel will be paid by the carrier of the insurance policy.

The Company was served on July 29, 2014 with an application to certify a class action, filed in Israel District Court for Tel Aviv against the Company and its two top executives, Dolev Rafaeli, Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis M. McGrath, President and Chief Financial Officer. The plaintiffs who initiated this complaint have agreed to be part of, and be bound by, the possible settlement reached in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Company and the same two top executives.

There were multiple class-action lawsuits filed in connection with PhotoMedex's proposed acquisition of LCA-Vision, Inc. All cases asserted claims against LCA-Vision, Inc., and a mix of other defendants, including LCA's chief executive officer and directors, PhotoMedex, and Gatorade Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of PhotoMedex. The complaints generally allege that the proposed acquisition undervalued LCA and deprived LCA's shareholders of the opportunity to participate in LCA's long-term financial prospects, that the "go shop" and "deal-protection" provisions of the Merger Agreement were designed to prevent LCA from soliciting or receiving competing offers, that LCA's Board breached its fiduciary duties and failed to maximize that company's stockholder value, and that LCA, PhotoMedex, and Gatorade aided and abetted the LCA defendants' alleged breaches of duty. The parties have reached a possible settlement in these suits. On March 23, 2015, the Ohio Court entered an order preliminarily approving that proposed settlement. Under the terms of settlement, LCA had published certain additional disclosure statements regarding its acquisition by the Company and its financial statements prior to its shareholder vote on the acquisition, which was held on May 12, 2014. The settlement also provides for the proposed payment of plaintiffs' counsel's fees and expenses with respect to the action. The Company believes that LCA maintains insurance that will help defray the cost of the proposed settlement; the Company will contribute less than $100,000 to the settlement, plus the payment of its legal fees, and does not expect the proposed settlement to have a material impact on its financial results. The proposed settlement is subject to final approval by the Court.  A hearing has been scheduled at 8:30 a.m., on June 19, 2015 to determine whether to approve the settlement, whether the settlement provided adequate notice to shareholders, thereafter dismiss the action with prejudice, whether the court should enter a complete bar order regarding this matter, and whether to provide for the payment of plaintiffs' counsel's attorney's fees and expenses.

On April 25, 2014, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the Company's subsidiary, Radiancy, Inc. and Dolev Rafaeli, Radiancy's President. The suit was filed by Jan Mouzon and twelve other customers residing in ten different states who purchased Radiancy's no!no! Hair products. It alleges various violations of state business and consumer protection codes including false and misleading advertising, unfair trade practices, and breach of express and implied warranties. The complaint seeks certification of the putative class, or, alternatively, certification as subclasses of plaintiffs residing in those specific states. The complaint also seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, pre-and post-judgment interest and attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs. Dr. Rafaeli was served with the Complaint on May 5, 2014; to date, Radiancy, has not been served. A mediation was scheduled in this matter for November 24, 2014, but no settlement was reached. On March 30, 2015, the Court dismissed this action in its entirety for failure to state a claim. The Court specifically dismissed with prejudice the claims pursuant to New York General Business Law §§349-50 and the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose; the other counts against Radiancy were dismissed without prejudice. The Court also granted Dr. Rafaeli's motion to dismiss the actions against him for lack of personal jurisdiction over him by the Court.  The Court denied the plaintiffs request for jurisdictional discovery with respect to Dr. Rafaeli and plaintiffs request to amend the complaint. Radiancy and its officers intend to continue to vigorously defend themselves against any attempts to continue this lawsuit. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated as the case has only been initiated and no discovery has been conducted to determine the validity of any claim or claims made by plaintiffs. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any reserve or contingent liability related to these particular legal matters. However, in the future, as the cases progress, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for these matters.

On June 30, 2014, the Company's subsidiary, Radiancy, Inc., was served with a class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court in the State of California, County of Kern. The suit was filed by April Cantley, who purchased Radiancy's no!no! Hair products. It alleges various violations of state business and consumer protection codes including false and misleading advertising, breach of express and implied warranties and breach of the California Legal Remedies Act. The complaint seeks certification of the class, which consists of customers in the State of California who purchased the no!no! Hair devices. The complaint also seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, pre-and post-judgment interest and attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs. Radiancy has filed an Answer to this Complaint; the case is now in the discovery phase. Radiancy and its officers intend to vigorously defend themselves against this lawsuit. Discovery has now commenced in this action. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated as the case has only been initiated and no discovery has been conducted to determine the validity of any claim or claims made by plaintiffs. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any reserve or contingent liability related to these particular legal matters. However, in the future, as the cases progress, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for these matters.

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, and claims regarding false advertising and product efficacy against the no!no! Hair products which were already raised and reviewed in the Tria litigation. We believe, based on discussions with legal counsel, that these other litigations and claims will likely be resolved without a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in these matters, we may, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a particular period.
