Urologix, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)
 
1.             Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Urologix, Inc. (the “Company,” “Urologix,” “we”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and the statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such date, and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Certain information normally included in financial statements and related footnotes prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Urologix Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, which includes a going concern qualification.
 
Results for any interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
 
2.             Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. These include, among others, the continued difficult economic conditions, tight credit markets, Medicare reimbursement rate uncertainty, and a decline in consumer spending and confidence, all of which have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual amounts could differ significantly from those estimated at the time the financial statements are prepared. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
 
3.             Liquidity
 
As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s cash balance was $532,000, including $40,000 of restricted cash. The Company incurred net losses of $1.1 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015 and $7.6 million and $4.3 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company has accumulated aggregate net losses from the inception of business through March 31, 2015 of $127.8 million.
 
On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement with Medtronic related to the $7.5 million it then owed to Medtronic under the September 2011 Prostiva license transaction documents.  As part of this agreement, we paid Medtronic $2.0 million in satisfaction of certain amounts owed under the transaction documents and entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with Medtronic for $5.3 million for the remaining amounts owed.  Interest on the Note accrues at a rate of 6 percent, compounded annually, and is payable in five equal installments of principal and accrued interest, on March 31st of each year beginning on March 31, 2015. The obligations on the Note are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (excluding intellectual property).  The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2015 was inadequate to repay Medtronic the required $1.3 million principal and interest payment on the Note nor was it adequate subsequent to March 31, 2015 to make the payment. Because the Company had not made the required payment on the Note within 10 business days of the March 31, 2015 due date, an event of default on the Note occurred in April 2015.  Because of the event of default under the Note, Medtronic has the right to declare all amounts under the Note immediately due and payable and to exercise any of its other rights and remedies as a secured party. See Note 15 – Subsequent Event.
 
Under the license agreement, royalty payments for Prostiva products are paid one year in arrears based on the contract year.  The Company has not paid, as of March 31, 2015 or subsequently, two royalty payments, each in the amount of $650,000, that were due on October 4, 2013 and October 6, 2014.  Accordingly, royalty payments totaling $1.3 million are included in the short-term deferred acquisition payment liability as of March 31, 2015.  The Company has also not paid, as of March 31, 2015 or subsequently,  the annual $65,000 license maintenance fees due on each of September 6, 2013 and September 6, 2014.  The total license maintenance fee of $130,000 is included in other accrued expenses as of March 31, 2015.  Including interest, total amounts due and unpaid to Medtronic as of March 31, 2015 are approximately $2.8 million.  Because the Company had not made the required $1.3 million payment on the Note within 10 business days of the March 31, 2015 due date, an event of default on the Note occurred on April 14, 2015.  Because of the event of default under the Note, Medtronic has the right to declare all amounts under the Note immediately due and payable (an additional $4.6 million as of April 14, 2015) and to exercise any of its other rights and remedies as a secured party under applicable law and the security agreement.

March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)
 
The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2015 was inadequate to repay amounts owed to Medtronic or to cure any default under the license agreement or the Note.  Because the Company’s cash is not sufficient to sustain day-to-day operations for the next 12 months, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to address our outstanding indebtedness to Medtronic.  The Company believes that this debt is most likely to be addressed through one or more strategic alternatives.
 
Strategic alternatives include sale of the Company or its assets, merging with another company, renegotiating its obligations with Medtronic, raising capital by incurring additional debt or raising capital through an offering of its debt or equity securities or both.  Because all of the Company’s assets (exclusive of intellectual property) are subject to a lien in favor of Medtronic and because of our limited cash flow available for debt service, the Company does not believe raising capital through incurring additional debt is a viable alternative at this time .  Further, the Company does not believe raising capital through the sale of equity is a viable alternative at this time.  No assurance can be given that the Company will successfully realize any strategic alternative or that the strategic alternative will be executed within any particular timeframe or on terms and conditions acceptable to Urologix, its creditors or its shareholders. The Company’s failure to address its indebtedness to Medtronic to Medtronic’s satisfaction may result in acceleration of all obligations on the Note, seizure by Medtronic of the assets that secure the Company’s indebtedness, loss of control of the Company’s business, bankruptcy or cessation of the business.
 
The Company has also implemented operational initiatives designed to enhance the value of the Company and the viability of strategic alternatives and to improve the Company’s cash and liquidity position while these alternatives are pursued.  As part of these operational initiatives, the Company implemented restructuring plans in January 2014 and again in April 2014 to reduce our cash utilization. The operating expense savings from these restructurings total $4.4 million for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2015 compared with the same period of the prior year.  Additional operational initiatives focus on generating additional revenues from sales of both Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva products, negotiating payment terms with our vendors, and managing expenses—including those associated with public reporting.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s operational initiatives will be successful in supporting the Company’s efforts to pursue strategic alternatives or improving its cash and liquidity position in the short-term sufficient to meet its obligations.
 
The financial statements as of and for the nine-months ended March 31, 2015 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
  
4.             Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company follows the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels defined as follows:
     
 
Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
 
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
     
 
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

As part of the consideration for the Prostiva acquisition, the estimated royalty payments between the minimum and maximum amounts are considered contingent consideration.  The contingent consideration was measured at fair value at the acquisition date and is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved using Level 3 inputs.  The Level 3 inputs consist of the projected fiscal year of payments based on projected revenues and an estimated discount rate.  The fair value is determined by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the payment streams.  The changes in fair value that do not relate to the initial recognition of the liability as of the acquisition date are recognized in earnings.  The Company estimates the fair value of the future contingent consideration at approximately $1.1 million as of March 31, 2015. There was no change in the fair value of contingent or non-contingent consideration for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015, only increased accretion expense of approximately $110,000.  The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the contingent consideration liability:

5.             Stock-Based Compensation
 
On November 16, 2012, our shareholders approved a new equity compensation plan, the Urologix, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).  The 2012 Plan replaced our Amended and Restated 1991 Stock Option Plan (the “1991 Plan”) and provides stock incentive awards in the form of options (incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and other awards in stock and/or cash.  As of March 31, 2015, we had reserved 2,372,309 shares of common stock under the 2012 Plan, which includes 772,309 expired and forfeited shares from the 1991 Plan, and 1,326,703 shares were available for future grants.   The number of shares available under the 2012 Plan will be increased by an amount equal to the number of shares subject to awards or options granted under the 1991 Plan which would have become available for additional awards under the 1991 Plan by reason of forfeiture, cancellation, expiration or termination of those awards.  Options expire 10 years from the date of grant and typically vest 25 percent after the first year of service with the remaining vesting 1/36th each month thereafter.
 
Amounts recognized in the financial statements for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 related to stock-based compensation were as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We use historical data to estimate expected volatility, the period of time that option grants are expected to be outstanding, as well as employee termination behavior. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. There were no stock options granted during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015.  The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the nine-months ended March 31, 2014 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:
         
Volatility
    83.66 %
Risk-free interest rate
    0.67 %

6.            Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding plus all dilutive potential common shares that result from stock options. The weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands) for both basic and dilutive, were 21,838 and 21,326, for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively and 21,701 and 21,195, for the nine-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
The dilutive effect of stock options excludes approximately 1.18 million and 1.79 million awards for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 1.43 million and 1.81 million for the nine-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for which the exercise price was higher than the average market price. In addition, there were no potentially dilutive stock options where the exercise price was lower than the average market price for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $49,000 and $61,000, respectively and $154,000 and $172,000, respectively. As a result of the delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ exchange at the start of trading on June 7, 2013 and the continued decline of our stock price, we tested our long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2013.  Based on this impairment testing it was determined that our intangible assets acquired as part of the Prostiva acquisition were impaired.  As a result, we recorded an impairment charge as of June 30, 2013 of $274,000 on our developed technology asset which was recorded in cost of goods sold, a $95,000 impairment charge on our customer base asset and a $65,000 impairment charge on trademarks both of which were recorded in operating expense. The fair value of patents and technology, customer base and trademark intangible assets was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis of forecasted future operating results.

All intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives. Patents and technology related to the Prostiva acquisition are being amortized over 9 years with amortization expense recorded in cost of goods sold. Customer base and trademarks related to the Prostiva acquisition are being amortized over 9 years and 16 years, respectively. Other intangible assets related to patent costs are amortized upon issuance over their estimated useful lives.
 
Future amortization expense related to the net carrying amount of intangible assets is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, we took a non-cash write-down of our Prostiva capital equipment inventory of approximately $739,000, which included approximately $504,000 of finished goods inventory acquired in the Prostiva acquisition.  This inventory continues to be reserved for as of March 31, 2015.  Approximately $94,000 and $141,000 of the above finished goods balance as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, represents long-term inventories that the Company does not expect to sell within the next 12 months, however, they are also not considered excess or obsolete.
  
10.           Income Taxes
 
As of June 30, 2014, the liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $14,000. During the nine-months ended March 31, 2015, there were no significant changes to the total gross unrecognized tax benefits. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for positions which the Company has identified will not change significantly in the next twelve months.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the United States (U.S.) federal jurisdiction as well as various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years after 1999 due to unexpired net operating loss carryforwards originating in and subsequent to that fiscal year. The Company may also be subject to state income tax examinations whose regulations vary by jurisdiction.
 
11.           Warranty
 
Some of the Company’s products, including the Prostiva products, are covered by warranties against defects in material and workmanship for periods of up to 24 months. The Company records a liability for warranty claims during the period of the sale. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, and other factors.

12.           Financing Arrangements
 
Promissory Note
 
On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with Medtronic for $5.3 million for the remaining amounts owed on Prostiva inventory acquired as part of the acquisition and purchased subsequent to the acquisition.  Interest on the principal amount of the Note will accrue at the annual rate of 6%, compounded annually. The Note requires that the Company make five equal annual payments of principal and accrued interest on March 31 of each year beginning March 31, 2015. All amounts under the Note are due and payable on March 31, 2019 or earlier upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Note).  The Company may prepay the Note without penalty at any time. The Note is junior to a new lender that provides certain refinancing, but is senior in all respects (including right of payment) to all other existing or future indebtedness. The Note also specifies certain customary events of default that will entitle Medtronic, after any required notice, to declare the outstanding obligations immediately due and payable. The Note contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company.
 
Pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement dated as of June 28, 2013 by and between Urologix and Medtronic, the Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets, specifically excluding intellectual property (but including accounts receivable and proceeds of intellectual property).
 
The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2015 was inadequate to repay Medtronic the required $1.3 million principal and interest payment on the Note nor was it adequate subsequent to March 31, 2015 to make the payment. Because the Company had not made the required $1.3 million payment on the Note within 10 business days of the March 31, 2015 due date, an event of default on the Note occurred in April 2015. Because of the event of default under the Note, Medtronic has the right to declare all amounts under the Note immediately due and payable and to exercise any of its other rights and remedies as a secured party. See also Note 15 – Subsequent Event.
 
13.           Commitments and Contingencies
 
Legal Proceedings
 
The Company has been involved in various legal proceedings and other matters that arise in the normal course of its business, including product liability claims that are inherent in the testing, production, marketing and sale of medical devices. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings or other matters that are expected to have a material effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the Company.

14.           Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.  The requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We are evaluating the impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance on our financial statements.
 
15.           Subsequent Event
 
The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2015 was inadequate to repay Medtronic any principal or interest on the Note nor was it adequate subsequent to March 31, 2015 to make any principal or interest payment. Because the Company had not made the required $1.3 million payment on the Note within 10 business days of the March 31, 2015 due date, an event of default on the Note occurred on April 14, 2015.  Because of the event of default under the Note, Medtronic has the right to declare all amounts under the Note immediately due and payable (approximately $7.4 million as of April 14, 2015) and to exercise any of its other rights and remedies as a secured party under applicable law and the security agreement.
 
By a letter dated April 9, 2015, Medtronic has notified the Company of its reservation of its legal rights under the Company’s agreements with Medtronic, including the Note, the security agreement and the license agreement, and Medtronic stated that it is entitled, at its option, at any time to (a) declare the entire outstanding principal and unpaid interest on the Note to be immediately due and payable, (b) terminate the Prostiva license agreement, (c) exercise its rights and remedies under the security agreement, including the right to possess, foreclose upon, sell or appoint a receiver in respect of the collateral as identified therein and (d) exercise any or all other rights and remedies available under any operative documents or under applicable law.  To date, Medtronic has not exercised its available rights and remedies, but there can be no assurance that it will not do so at any time.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, as well as in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include factors such as: the Company’s cash is not sufficient to sustain day-to-day operations for the next 12 months; we have inadequate cash to pay outstanding amounts due to Medtronic totaling $2.8 million as of March 31, 2015, to cure the April 2015 default as a result of failing to pay the first $1.3 million payment under the $5.3 million promissory note to Medtronic, or to cure any payment default under the license;  Medtronic may terminate the Prostiva license agreement for nonpayment of royalty and license maintenance fees; as a result of the event of default, Medtronic may declare all obligations under the $5.3 million promissory note immediately due and payable (an additional $4.6 million as of April 14, 2015) and may exercise all of its available rights and remedies as a secured party, including foreclosing upon our assets that comprise the collateral under the security agreement with Medtronic; there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; we may not be successful in our pursuit of strategic alternatives to address our outstanding debt to Medtronic or in implementing operational initiatives designed to enhance the viability of strategic alternatives and provide us with improved cash flow and liquidity while we pursue strategic alternatives; our failure to address our indebtedness to Medtronic to Medtronic’s satisfaction may result in acceleration of all obligations of the Note, seizure by Medtronic of the assets that secure our indebtedness, loss of control of our business, cessation of business or bankruptcy; we may not realize the expected benefits from our operational restructuring initiatives, and they may result in unintended adverse impacts to our business; our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB which could impair our ability to raise capital and will likely hinder our investors’ ability to trade our common stock in the secondary market; fluctuations in our future operating results may negatively affect the market price of our common stock; our stock price has been volatile and a shareholder’s investment could decline in value; future sales of shares of our common stock may negatively affect our stock price; provisions of Minnesota law, our governing documents and other agreements may deter a change of control of us and have a possible negative effect on our stock price; third party reimbursement is critical to market acceptance of our products; we are faced with intense competition and rapid technological and industry change; all of our revenues are derived from minimally invasive therapies that treat one disease, BPH; and government regulation has a significant impact on our business. All forward-looking statements included herein are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
The following is a discussion and analysis of Urologix’ financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and related notes in Item 1 of this report and Urologix’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.
 
OVERVIEW
 
 Urologix develops, manufactures, and markets non-surgical, office-based therapies for the treatment of the symptoms and obstruction resulting from non-cancerous prostate enlargement also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). These therapies use proprietary technology in the treatment of BPH, a disease that affects more than 30 million men worldwide and is the most common prostate problem for men over 50. We market both the Cooled ThermoTherapy™ (CTT) product line and the Prostiva® Radio Frequency (RF) Therapy System. We acquired the exclusive worldwide license to the Prostiva RF Therapy System in September 2011. These two technologies are designed to be used by urologists in their offices without placing their patients under general anesthesia. CTT uses a flexible catheter to deliver targeted microwave energy to the prostate combined with a unique cooling mechanism that protects healthy urethral tissue and enhances patient comfort to provide safe, effective, lasting relief from BPH voiding symptoms by the thermal ablation of hyperplastic prostatic tissue surrounding the urethra. The proprietary Prostiva RF Therapy System delivers radio frequency energy directly into the prostate through the use of insulated electrodes deployed from a transurethral scope, ablating targeted prostatic tissue under the direct visualization of the urologist. These focal ablations reduce constriction of the urethra, thereby relieving BPH voiding symptoms. These two proven technologies have slightly different, yet complementary, patient indications and providing them to our urologist customers enables them to treat a wide range of patients in their office. We believe that these office-based BPH therapies are efficacious, durable, safe and low cost solutions for BPH as they have shown results clinically superior to those of daily BPH medication and without the complications and side effect profile inherent with surgical procedures.
 
13

 

 

 
Our goal is to strengthen our business by efficiently deploying our resources to support adoption of Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy as the preferred therapeutic options considered by urologists for their BPH patients in the earlier stages of disease progression.  Typically, these are patients who do not want to take chronic BPH medication or are unhappy with the side effects, costs or results. A urologist can choose between our two therapies based upon clinical criteria specific to the BPH patient’s presentation. Our business strategy to achieve this goal is to:
     
   •
Increase utilization of Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy by urologists who already have access to a Cooled ThermoTherapy and/or Prostiva RF Therapy system,
     
   •
Build upon the evidence supporting the cost effectiveness of our technologies and educate healthcare providers on the benefit to patients and the healthcare system of our in-office therapies,
     
   •
Educate patients and urologists on the benefits of Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy through educational and other market development efforts, and
     
   •
Continue to partner with our European distributors to support the customers outside the United States.
 
In fiscal year 2014, the Company made the strategic decision to restructure the organization, including deploying a new distribution model and operational structure, to reduce company expenses and focus remaining resources on the most important needs of our business.  The restructuring included the launch of a new sales deployment that added capacity to our inside sales channel, reduced and realigned our direct sales representatives, and increased the role of our mobile application specialists.  The deployment was designed using a number of factors including matching our sales team member’s skills and resources to the identifiable needs of our customer base.  The new deployment enables us to cover the vast majority of our business with sales team members that can support customer’s continued access to our technologies in a manner they are traditionally used to with a significantly smaller sales team.
 
Our marketing and patient education efforts are focused on four goals: (i) increasing urologist adoption of our technologies and optimizing patient selection for maximum patient benefit and appropriate utilization; (ii) increasing patient awareness of office based treatment options; (iii) exposing urologists to the significant patient need for effective non-surgical alternatives to medical management; and (iv) providing new evidence to educate urologists, provider networks and payers as to the cost effectiveness of our technologies. We employ specific tools to support each of these goals. For the first, this includes developing a well trained clinically oriented sales team that can explain both technologies and patient selection criteria and arming them with the tools and knowledge to be successful. For the second and third, our primary platform for raising patient awareness and increasing urologist exposure to the patient need is through the patient education seminar program.  For the fourth, we are working with our healthcare partners to complete new research showing the cost effectiveness of our technologies.
 
Clinical research activities are focused on expanding the evidence demonstrating the cost effectiveness of our technologies.  Our research and development engineering efforts and goals are currently focused primarily on continuing engineering projects to support the product lines.  This includes improving the features and functions of the technologies used in our Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy procedures; improving the ease of use, continuous quality improvement initiatives; and also reducing the manufacturing cost of our products.
 
We initiated sales of the Prostiva RF Therapy system in Europe by entering into supply agreements with distributors in targeted countries. Total international Prostiva sales for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $86,000 and $93,000, respectively, and $222,000 and $258,000, respectively.
 
We believe that third-party reimbursement is essential to the continued adoption of Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy, and that clinical efficacy, overall cost-effectiveness and physician advocacy will be keys to maintaining such reimbursement. We estimate that 70% to 80% of patients who receive Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy treatment in the United States are eligible for Medicare coverage. The remaining patients are covered by either private insurers, including traditional indemnity health insurers and managed care organizations, or are private paying patients. As a result, Medicare reimbursement is particularly critical for widespread and ongoing market adoption of Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy in the United States.
 
Each calendar year the Medicare reimbursement rates for all procedures, including Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy, are determined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Medicare reimbursement rate for physicians varies depending on the procedure type, site of service, wage indexes and geographic location. The national average reimbursement rate is the fixed rate for the year without any geographic adjustments, but does vary based on site of service. Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy can be performed in the urologist’s office, an ambulatory surgery center (ASC), or a hospital as an outpatient procedure.
 
14

 

 

 
CMS published their final rule in November 2013 for implementation during calendar year 2014 and the government acted to keep the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) from taking effect. The final rule resulted in an average reimbursement rate in the physician office setting for calendar year 2014 of $2,063 for Cooled ThermoTherapy and $1,899 for Prostiva RF Therapy.  On October 31, 2014, CMS published their final rule for reimbursement rates to be implemented in calendar year 2015.  Starting January 1, 2015, the national average reimbursement rate in the physician office setting for calendar year 2015 was $2,092 for Cooled ThermoTherapy and $1,928 for Prostiva RF Therapy.  Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy procedures are also reimbursed when performed in an ASC or a hospital outpatient setting, but these are a small portion of our business and the CMS rates will not have a material effect on our financial performance.
 
Private insurance companies and HMOs make their own determinations regarding coverage and reimbursement based upon “usual and customary” fees. To date, we have received coverage and reimbursement from private insurance companies and HMOs throughout the United States. We intend to continue our efforts to maintain coverage and reimbursement across the United States. There can be no assurance that reimbursement determinations for either Cooled ThermoTherapy or Prostiva RF Therapy from these payers for amounts reimbursed to urologists to perform these procedures will be sufficient to compensate urologists for use of Urologix’ product and service offerings.
 
As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s cash balance is not sufficient to sustain day-to-day operations for the next 12 months and is not sufficient to pay approximately $2.8 million in outstanding obligations of Medtronic as of March 31, 2015 or the additional $4.6 million in obligations as of April 14, 2015.  There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary as a result of this uncertainty.  See Note 3 “Liquidity” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below.
 
Critical Accounting Policies:
 A description of our critical accounting policies was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, our critical accounting policies and estimates continue to include revenue recognition, inventories, valuation of long-lived assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation and fair value of contingent consideration.  
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Net Sales
Net sales for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 were $2.8 million, compared to $3.4 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $560,000, or 17 percent.  Net sales of $8.9 million for the nine-months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $2.0 million or 19 percent when compared to net sales of $10.9 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2014.  The decrease in net sales for the comparable prior year periods is the result of lower volume of units sold in both Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva RF Therapy product lines.  The decrease in net sales is partially attributable to the restructurings that occurred in the second half of fiscal year 2014, which included changes in the sales organization, and partially attributable to softness in demand from physician customers.
 
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold includes raw materials, labor, and overhead incurred in connection with the production of our Cooled ThermoTherapy system control units and single-use treatment catheters, amortization related to developed technologies, costs associated with the delivery of our Urologix mobile service, as well as costs for the Prostiva products. Cost of goods sold for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $1.0 million, or 41 percent, to $1.5 million, from $2.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. Cost of goods sold for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015 decreased $1.8 million or 28 percent, to $4.7 million compared with cost of goods sold of $6.4 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2014.  The decrease in costs of goods sold for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015 is a result of the decrease in unit volume of sales as well as the $739,000 non-cash write-down of Prostiva capital equipment inventory reflected in the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014  and, to a lesser degree, expenses in the comparable prior year periods related to the implementation of restructurings that occurred in January and April 2014.
 
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales were 47 percent and 48 percent for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared with 25 percent and 41 percent for the comparable prior year periods.  The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of net sales over the prior year periods primarily reflects the aforementioned $739,000 Prostiva write-down recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.  The decrease in production volume as a result of lower sales has been largely offset by a decrease in variable manufacturing expenses.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense of $657,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 decreased by $656,000, or 50 percent, when compared to sales and marketing expense of $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal year 2014. The decrease in sales and marketing expense for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 is due primarily to a $478,000 decrease in personnel related expenses due to decreased commissions and headcount, as well as a $76,000 decrease in travel and $13,000 decrease in advertising and promotion expenses as a result of the restructuring plans implemented in January and April of 2014 and also expense management efforts.  For the comparable year-to-date period, personnel related expenses declined $1.9 million, travel expenses declined $369,000 and advertising and promotion expenses declined $255,000, also due to the restructurings that occurred in the prior fiscal year as well as ongoing expense management efforts.
 
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased $78,000, or 15 percent, to $449,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to $527,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in general and administrative expense is largely the result of decreased wages and benefits of $62,000 due to lower headcount as well as efforts to manage expenses.
 
General and administrative expense for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015 was $1.4 million a decrease of $369,000 or 21 percent compared to $1.8 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2014.  In particular, wages and benefits decreased $192,000 due to lower headcount,  stock compensation expense decreased by $67,000 due to lower fair market values of our stock, and bank fees and service charges decreased by $51,000 as a result of the reduced sales and termination of our bank line of credit at the end of fiscal year 2014.
 
Research and Development
Research and development expense, which includes expenditures for product development, regulatory compliance and clinical studies, decreased $110,000 or 27 percent to $298,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 from $408,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.  The decrease in research and development expense is a primarily the result of a $99,000 decrease in wages and benefits due to lower headcount in the current year.
 
For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015, research and development expense decreased by $312,000 or 24 percent to $969,000 compared to $1.3 million for the nine-month period ended March 31. 2014.  The decrease in research and development expense compared to the prior year period is again due to a decrease in wages and benefits expense of $331,000, partially offset by an increase in consulting expenses.
 
 Change in Value of Acquisition Consideration
There was no change in the value of acquisition consideration for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015 compared to reductions of $12,000 and $105,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014.  For the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014, the change in the value of acquisition consideration represents the reduction in fair value of contingent consideration as a result of a reduction in the projected royalty payments in excess of contractual minimums in earlier years.
 
Medical Device Tax
The medical device tax expense represents the excise tax imposed beginning January 1, 2013 on all U.S. medical device sales as part of the Federal health care reform legislation.  Medical device tax expense was $44,000 and $140,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $52,000 and $172,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively.  The declines are the result of the decrease in sales.
 
Amortization of Identifiable Intangible Assets
  Amortization expense was $16,000 and $56,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $28,000 and $72,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively. The slight decrease in amortization expense year-over-year is due to the complete amortization of the customer base intangible asset acquired as part of the EDAP acquisition in fiscal year 2001.
 
Net Interest Expense
Interest expense is a result of non-cash interest accretion on the deferred acquisition payments for the Prostiva business as well as the interest accrued on amounts owed to Medtronic, including the Note entered into with Medtronic on June 28, 2013.  Interest expense increased to $190,000 and $594,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, from $178,000 and $516,000 for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 2014, respectively.  The increase in interest expense is due to lower accretion expense in the prior year period due to the true up of the contractual deferred acquisition liability as well as additional interest expense on past due amounts to Medtronic.

Provision for Income Taxes
We recognized no income tax benefit or expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and income tax expense of $9,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 2015, compared to income tax expense of $18,000 and $46,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014. The tax expense in the nine-months ended March 31, 2015 primarily represents state taxes. The tax expense in the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014 relates to $9,000 and $27,000, respectively, for the deferred tax liability resulting from the amortization for tax purposes of the goodwill acquired in the Prostiva acquisition, as well as $9,000 and $19,000, respectively, for the provision for state taxes.  We fully impaired our goodwill balance as of April 30, 2014, and therefore wrote-off the balance of the related deferred tax liability.
 
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities.  We have recorded and continue to carry a full valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets that will not reverse against deferred tax liabilities.   We will continue to assess the assumptions used to determine the amount of our valuation allowance and may adjust the valuation allowance in future periods based on changes in assumptions of estimated future income and other factors.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We have financed our operations since inception through sales of equity securities and, to a lesser extent, sales of our Cooled ThermoTherapy products and, beginning September 6, 2011, sales of the Prostiva RF Therapy System product. As of March 31, 2015, we had cash of $532,000, which includes $40,000 of restricted cash, compared to cash of $718,000 as of June 30, 2014.
 
On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement with Medtronic related to the $7.5 million it then owed to Medtronic under the September 2011 Prostiva license transaction documents.  As part of this agreement, we paid Medtronic $2.0 million in satisfaction of certain amounts owed under the transaction documents and entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with Medtronic for $5.3 million for the remaining amounts owed.  Interest on the Note accrues at a rate of 6 percent, compounded annually, and is payable in five equal installments of principal and accrued interest, on March 31st of each year beginning on March 31, 2015. The obligations on the Note are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets (excluding intellectual property).  The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2015 was inadequate to repay Medtronic the required $1.3 million principal and interest payment on the Note nor was it adequate subsequent to March 31, 2015 to make the required payment. Because the Company had not made the required payment on the Note within 10 business days of the March 31, 2015 due date, an event of default on the Note occurred in April 2015.  Because of the event of default under the Note, Medtronic has the right to declare all amounts under the Note immediately due and payable and to exercise any of its rights and remedies as a secured party.
 
Under the license agreement, royalty payments for Prostiva products are paid one year in arrears based on the contract year.  The Company has not paid, as of March 31, 2015 or subsequently, two royalty payments, each in the amount of $650,000, that were due on October 4, 2013 and October 6, 2014.  Accordingly, royalty payments totaling $1.3 million are included in the short-term deferred acquisition payment liability as of March 31, 2015.  The Company has also not paid, as of March 31, 2015 or subsequently, either of the annual $65,000 license maintenance fees due on September 6, 2013 and September 6, 2014.  The total license maintenance fee of $130,000 is included in other accrued expenses as of March 31, 2015.  Including interest, total amounts due and unpaid to Medtronic as of March 31, 2015 are approximately $2.8 million.
 
As a result of the non-payment of royalties and license maintenance fees, Medtronic may terminate the license agreement.  If the license agreement is terminated, the Company’s rights to sell the Prostiva product would be terminated.
 
By a letter dated April 9, 2015, Medtronic has notified the Company of its reservation of its legal rights under the Company’s agreements with Medtronic, including the Note, the security agreement and the license agreement, and Medtronic stated that it is entitled, at its option, at any time to (a) declare the entire outstanding principal and unpaid interest on the Note to be immediately due and payable, (b) terminate the Prostiva license agreement, (c) exercise its rights and remedies under the security agreement, including the right to possess, foreclose upon, sell or appoint a receiver in respect of the collateral as identified therein and (d) exercise any or all other rights and remedies available under any operative documents or under applicable law.  To date, Medtronic has not exercised its available rights and remedies, but there can be no assurance that it will not do so at any time.
 
 Because the Company’s cash is not sufficient to sustain day-to-day operations for the next 12 months, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to address our outstanding indebtedness to Medtronic.  The Company believes that this debt is most likely to be addressed through one or more strategic alternatives.
 
17

 

 

 
Strategic alternatives include sale of the Company or its assets, merging with another company, renegotiating its obligations with Medtronic,  raising capital by incurring additional debt or raising capital through an offering of its debt or equity securities or both.  Because all of the Company’s assets (exclusive of intellectual property) are subject to a lien in favor of Medtronic and because of our limited cash flow available for debt service, the Company does not believe raising capital through incurring additional debt is a viable alternative at this time.  Further, the Company does not believe raising capital through the sale of equity is a viable alternative at this time.  No assurance can be given that the Company will successfully realize any strategic alternative or that the strategic alternative will be executed within any particular timeframe or on terms and conditions acceptable to Urologix, its creditors or its shareholders. The Company’s failure to address its indebtedness to Medtronic to Medtronic’s satisfaction may result in acceleration of all obligations of the Note, seizure by Medtronic of the assets that secure the Company’s indebtedness, loss of control of the Company’s business, bankruptcy or cessation of the business.
 
  The Company has also implemented operational initiatives designed to enhance the value of the Company and the viability of strategic alternatives and to improve the Company’s cash and liquidity position while these alternatives are pursued.  As part of these operational initiatives, the Company implemented restructuring plans in January 2014 and again in April 2014 to reduce our cash utilization. The operating expense savings from these restructurings total $4.4 million for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2015 compared with the same period of the prior year.  Additional operational initiatives focus on generating additional revenues from sales of both Cooled ThermoTherapy and Prostiva products, negotiating payment terms with our vendors, and managing expenses, including those associated with public reporting.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s operational initiatives will be successful in supporting the Company’s efforts to pursue strategic alternatives or improving its cash and liquidity position in the short-term sufficient to meet its obligations.
 
The financial statements as of and for the nine-months ended March 31, 2015 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
During the nine-months ended March 31, 2015, we used $172,000 of cash for operating activities. The net loss of $1.1 million included non-cash charges of $361,000 from depreciation and amortization expense, $53,000 from stock-based compensation expense and $387,000 of accreted interest expense.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in the generation of $148,000 of operating cash flow for the period as a result of higher interest payable of $312,000, lower inventories of $99,000 and lower accounts receivable of $90,000.  These changes were partially offset by lower accounts payable of $184,000, higher prepaids and other assets of $97,000 and lower other accrued expenses of $72,000.
 
Interest expense represents interest on amounts due Medtronic, including interest accrued on the Medtronic Note.  The decrease in inventories is a result of lower CTT production to lower our days inventory on hand and the decrease in accounts payable is a result of the timing of receipts and payments.  Prepaids and other assets increased as a result of the payment of annual insurance premiums which are paid at the beginning of the fiscal year and amortized over the annual period, and the decrease in other accrued expenses is a result of the payment of the fiscal year 2014 bonuses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.
 
During the nine-months ended March 31, 2015, we used $54,000 for investing activities.  Collateral requirements on the corporate credit cards resulted in the use of $40,000 of cash.  The remaining cash used for investing activities related to the purchase of property and equipment and investments in intellectual property, which was partially offset by $9,000 of proceeds from sale of a fixed asset.
 
We plan to continue offering customers a variety of programs for both evaluation and longer-term use of our Cooled ThermoTherapy system control units and Prostiva RF Therapy System generators and scopes in addition to purchase options. We also will continue to provide physicians and patients with efficient access to our Cooled ThermoTherapy system control units and Prostiva RF Therapy System generators and scopes on a pre-scheduled basis through our mobile service. As of March 31, 2015, our property and equipment, net, included approximately $189,000 of control units, generators and scopes used in evaluation or longer-term use programs and units used in our Company-owned mobile service.

ITEM 3.            QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our financial instruments include cash and as a result we do not have a material market risk exposure.
 
Our policy is not to enter into derivative financial instruments.  We do not have any significant foreign currency exposure since we do not generally transact business in foreign currencies.  Therefore, we do not have significant overall currency exposure.  In addition, we do not enter into any futures or forward commodity contracts since we do not have significant market risk exposure with respect to commodity prices.
 
ITEM 4.            CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Gregory J. Fluet, and Chief Financial Officer, Scott M. Madson, have evaluated the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this review, they have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective.
 
(b)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.            LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We have been and are involved in various legal proceedings and other matters that arise in the normal course of our business, including product liability claims that are inherent in the testing, production, marketing and sale of medical devices. Based upon currently available information, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
 
ITEM 1A.         RISK FACTORS
 
The most significant risk factors applicable to the Company are described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
  Because of our failure to make payments to Medtronic, Medtronic has the right to declare all obligations under the $5.3 million promissory note immediately due, to exercise its rights and remedies as a secured party including foreclosing on our assets, and to terminate our license to the Prostiva product line.
 
As of March 31, 2015 and subsequently, we have not paid  royalty payments of $1.3 million, license maintenance fees of $130,000, and $1.3 million in principal and interest on an approximately $5.3 million promissory note.  Including interest, total amounts due and unpaid to Medtronic as of March 31, 2015 are approximately $2.8 million.  As of March 31, 2015, our cash balance was $532,000, including $40,000 of restricted cash.  Accordingly, we have inadequate cash to pay existing amounts owed to Medtronic.
 
Because of our failure to pay required amounts due on March 31, 2015 under the note, an event of default on the note occurred on April 14, 2015.  Because of the event of default under the note, Medtronic has the right to declare all amounts under the note immediately due and payable, which is an additional $4.6 million.   Our obligations on the note are secured by substantially all of our assets (excluding our intellectual property).  Because of the event of default under the note, Medtronic may also exercise any of its other rights and remedies as a secured party under applicable law or under the security agreement in favor of Medtronic. Under the security agreement, Medtronic may, among other actions, foreclose on our assets constituting collateral, causing us to lose control of our business.  If Medtronic exercises its rights as a secured party, we may be forced to sell our assets, submit to foreclosure proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, cease operations or seek bankruptcy or reorganization protection.
 
Additionally, as a result of the non-payment of royalties and license maintenance fees, Medtronic may terminate the license agreement under which we have an exclusive worldwide license to the Prostiva RF Therapy System.  If the license agreement is terminated, our rights to sell the Prostiva product line likewise would be terminated and we would not generate any revenue from the sale of Prostiva products thereafter.  We cannot predict what additional effects termination of the Prostiva license would have on our business or what effects such a termination would have on sales of our remaining Cooled ThermoTherapy product line.  In the event of termination of the Prostiva license, we may be forced to cease operations or seek bankruptcy or reorganization protection.

By a letter dated April 9, 2015, Medtronic has notified us of its reservation of its legal rights under our agreements with Medtronic, including the note, the security agreement and the license agreement, and Medtronic stated that it is entitled, at its option, at any time to (a) declare the entire outstanding principal and unpaid interest on the Note to be immediately due and payable, (b) terminate the Prostiva license agreement, (c) exercise its rights and remedies under the security agreement, including the right to possess, foreclose upon, sell or appoint a receiver in respect of the collateral as identified therein and (d) exercise any or all other rights and remedies available under any operative documents or under applicable law.  To date, Medtronic has not exercised its available rights and remedies, but there can be no assurance that it will not do so at any time.
 
 ITEM 2.           UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 3.            DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
 
Urologix, Inc. is the borrower on a promissory note dated June 28, 2013 to Medtronic, Inc. as the holder in the principal amount of $5,332,537.72 and with a maturity date of  March 31, 2019.   The note requires the Company to make five equal annual payments of principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the note, commencing on March 31, 2015 and on March 31 of each year thereafter until the maturity date.  Obligations under the note are secured by a security agreement dated June 28, 2013 by which the Company granted Medtronic a security interest in collateral consisting of substantially all of its assets (excluding its intellectual property).
 
The first payment of principal and accrued interest, totaling approximately $1.3 million, was due on March 31, 2015 and was not paid on March 31, 2015 or subsequently.  Under the note, the failure of the Company to pay Medtronic any payment of interest or principal within ten business days after the date it is due constitutes an event of default.  As a result of nonpayment of the March 31, 2015 amount, an event of default occurred under the note on April 14, 2015.
