ITEM 1BUSINESS

 

General

 

We are a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment for treating, diagnosing, and managing sleep-disordered breathing and other respiratory disorders. Sleep-disordered breathing, or “SDB”,SDB, includes obstructive sleep apnea, or “OSA”,OSA, and other respiratory disorders that occur during sleep. When we were formed in 1989, our primary purpose was to commercialize a treatment for OSA developed by Professor Colin Sullivan. This treatment, nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or “CPAP”,CPAP, was the first successful noninvasive treatment for OSA. CPAP systems deliver pressurized air, typically through a nasal mask, to prevent collapse of the upper airway during sleep.

 

Since the development of CPAP, we have developed a number of innovative products for SDB and other respiratory disorders including airflow generators, diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories. Our growth has been fuelled by geographic expansion, increased awareness of respiratory conditions as a significant health concern among physicians and patients, and our research and product development effort.efforts.

 

We employ 1,927approximately 2,700 people and sell our products in over 6068 countries through a combination of wholly owned subsidiaries and independent distributors.

Corporate History

 

ResMed Inc,Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed in March 1994 as the ultimate holding company for our Americas, Asia-Pacific and European operating subsidiaries. On June 1, 1995, we completed an initial public offering of common stock and on June 2, 1995 our common stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ National Market. On September 30, 1999 we transferred our principal public listing to the New York Stock Exchange, (NYSE), or “NYSE”,NYSE, trading under the ticker symbol RMD. On November 25, 1999, we established a secondary listing of our common stock via Chess Depositary Instruments, or “CDI’s”,CDI’s, on the Australian Stock Exchange, or “ASX”,ASX, also under the symbol RMD. Ten CDI’s on the ASX represent one share of our common stock on the NYSE. On July 1, 2002, we converted our ASX listing status from a foreign exempt listing to a full listing.

 

Our Australian subsidiary, ResMed Holdings Limited, was originally organized in 1989 by Dr. Peter Farrell to acquire from Baxter Center for Medical Research Pty Limited, or “Baxter”,Baxter, the rights to certain technology relating to CPAP treatment as well as Baxter’s existing CPAP device business. Baxter had sold CPAP devices in Australia since 1988, having acquired the rights to the technology in 1987.

Segment Information

The Company believes that, given the single market focus of its operations solely in the sleep-disordered breathing sector of the respiratory medicine industry, and the inter-dependence of its products, the Company operates as a single operating segment. See Note 16 – Segment Information of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8) for financial information regarding segment reporting. Financial information about our revenues from and assets located in foreign countries is also included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

 

The Market

 

Sleep is a complex neurological process that includes two distinct states: rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep and non-rapid eye movement, or non-REM, sleep. REM sleep, which is about 20-25% of

- 3 -


total sleep experienced by adults, is characterized by a high level of brain activity, bursts of rapid eye movement, increased heart and respiration rates, and paralysis of many muscles. Non-REM sleep is subdivided into four stages that generally parallel sleep depth; stage 1 is the lightest and stage 4 is the deepest.

 

The upper airway has no rigid support and is held open by active contraction of upper airway muscles. Normally, during REM sleep and deeper levels of non-REM sleep, upper airway muscles relax and the airway narrows. Individuals with narrow upper airways or poor muscle tone are prone to temporary collapses of the upper airway during sleep, called apneas, and to near closures of the upper airway called hypopneas. These breathing irregularities result in a lowering of blood oxygen concentration, causing the central nervous system to react to the lack of oxygen or increased carbon dioxide and signaling the body to respond. Typically, the individual subconsciously arouses from sleep, causing the throat muscles to contract, opening the airway. After a few gasping breaths, blood oxygen levels increase and the individual can resume a deeper sleep until the cycle repeats itself. Sufferers of OSA typically experience ten or more such cycles per hour. While these awakenings greatly impair the quality of sleep, the individual is not normally aware of these disruptions. In addition, OSA has recently been recognized as a cause of hypertension and a significant co-morbidity for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

 

Scientists estimate that one in five adults have some form of obstructive sleep apnea. In the U.S.United States alone, this represents approximately 43 million people. Despite the high prevalence of OSA, there is a general lack of awareness of OSA among both the medical community and the general public. It is estimated that less than 10% of those with OSA have been diagnosed or treated. Many health carehealthcare professionals are often unable to diagnose OSA because they are unaware that such non-specific symptoms as excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, hypertension and irritability are characteristic of OSA.

 

While OSA has been diagnosed in a broad cross-section of the population, it is predominant among middle-aged men and those who are obese, smoke, consume alcohol in excess or use muscle-relaxing and pain-killing drugs. A strong association has been discovered between OSA and a number of cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have shown that SDB is present in approximately 80% of

- 4 -


patients with drug-resistant hypertension, approximately 60% of stroke patients and approximately 50% of patients with congestive heart failure. More recently, studies have shown a connection between SDB and diabetes: recent reportsstudies indicate that SDB is independently associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance.

 

Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

 

Sleep-disordered breathing encompasses all physiological processes that cause detrimental breathing patterns during sleep. Manifestations include OSA, central sleep apnea, or CSA, and hypoventilation syndromes that occur during sleep. Hypoventilation syndromes are generally associated with obesity, chronic obstructive lung disease and neuromuscular disease. OSA is the most common form of SDB.

 

Sleep fragmentation and the loss of the deeper levels of sleep caused by OSA can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced cognitive function, including memory loss and lack of concentration, depression and irritability. OSA sufferers also experience an increase in heart rate and an elevation of blood pressure during the cycle of apneas. Several studies indicate that the oxygen desaturation, increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure caused by OSA may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality due to angina, stroke and heart attack. Patients with OSA have been shown to have impaired daytime performance in a variety of cognitive functions including problem solving, response speed and visual motor coordination, and studies have linked OSA to increased occurrences of traffic and workplace accidents.

 

- 4 -


Generally, an individual seeking treatment for the symptoms of OSA is referred by a general practitioner to a specialist for further evaluation. The diagnosis of OSA typically requires monitoring the patient during sleep at either a sleep clinic or the patient’s home. During overnight testing, respiratory parameters and sleep patterns maybemay be monitored, along with other vital signs such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels. Simpler tests, using devices such as our Apnealink, or our automatic positive airway pressure devices, monitor airflow during sleep, and use computer programs to analyze airflow patterns. These tests allow sleep clinicians to detect any sleep disturbances such as apneas, hypopneas or subconscious awakenings. We estimate that there are currently around 3,000 sleep clinics in the United States, a substantial portion of which are affiliated with hospitals. The number of sleep clinics has expanded significantly from approximately 100 such facilities in 1985.

 

Existing Therapies

 

Before 1981, the primary treatment for OSA was a tracheotomy, a surgical procedure to cut a hole in the patient’s windpipe to create a channel for airflow. Most recently, alternative treatments have involved either uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, or UPPP, in which surgery is performed on the upper airway to remove excess tissue and to streamline the shape of the airway, implanting a device to add support to the soft palate, or mandibular advancement, in which the lower jaw is moved forward to widen the patient’s airway. UPPP alone has a poor success rate; however, when performed in conjunction with multi-stage upper airway surgical procedures, a greater success rate has been claimed. These combined procedures, performed by highly specialized surgeons, are expensive and involve prolonged and often painful recovery periods.

 

CPAP, by contrast, is a non-invasive means of treating OSA. CPAP was first used as a treatment for OSA in 1980 by Dr. Colin Sullivan, the past Chairman of our Medical Advisory Board. CPAP systems were commercialized for treatment of OSA in the United States in the mid 1980’s. Today, use of CPAP is generally acknowledged as the most effective and least invasive therapy for managing OSA.

 

During CPAP treatment, a patient sleeps with a nasal interface connected to a small portable airflow generator that delivers room air at a positive pressure. The patient breathes in air from the flow

- 5 -


generator and breathes out through an exhaust port in the interface. Continuous air pressure applied in this manner acts as a pneumatic splint to keep the upper airway open and unobstructed. Interfaces include nasal masks and nasal pillows. Sometimes, when a patient leaks air through their mouth, a full-face mask may need to be used, rather than a nasal interface.

 

CPAP is not a cure and therefore, must be used on a nightly basis as long as treatment is required. Patient compliance has been a major factor in the efficacy of CPAP treatment. Early generations of CPAP units provided limited patient comfort and convenience. Patients experienced soreness from the repeated use of nasal masks and had difficulty falling asleep with the CPAP device operating at the prescribed pressure. In more recent years, product innovations to improve patient comfort and compliance have been developed. These include more comfortable patient interface systems; delay timers whichthat gradually raise air pressure allowing the patient to fall asleep more easily; bilevel air flow generators, including Variable Positive Airway Pressure, or VPAP systems, which provide different air pressures for inhalation and exhalation; heated humidification systems to make the airflow more comfortable; and auto titrationautotitration devices whichthat reduce the average pressure delivered during the night.

 

Business Strategy

 

We believe that the SDB market will continue to grow in the future due to a number of factors including increasing awareness of OSA, improved understanding of the role of SDB treatment in the management of cardiac, neurologic, metabolic and related disorders, and an increase in home-based

- 5 -


diagnosis. Our strategy for expanding our business operations and capitalizing on the growth of the SDB market consists of the following key elements:

 

Continue Product Development and Innovation.    We are committed to ongoing innovation in developing products for the diagnosis and treatment of SDB. We have been a leading innovator of products designed to more effectively treat SDB, increase patient comfort and encourage compliance with prescribed therapy. For example, in 1999 we introduced the Mirage Full Face Mask. This mask contains an inflatable air pocket, which conforms to the patient’s facial contours, creating a more comfortable and better seal. In 2002, we introduced the AutoSet Spirit flow generator, our second-generation autotitrating device that adapts to the patient’s breathing patterns to more effectively treat OSA. In 2003, we introduced the Mirage Activa nasal mask, with active cushion technology to automatically seal mask leaks. In 2004, we introduced the Mirage Swift nasal pillows system, a less obtrusive, lightweight, and flexible alternative to nasal masks. In 2005, we introduced the S8 range of CPAP, a small flow generator with optional integrated humidification. In 2007, we launched several new patient interfaces including the Mirage Quattro, a full face mask that offers dual-wall cushion with spring air technology which accommodates movement during sleep, and the Mirage Liberty, which combines our nasal pillow technology in a full face mask product with a minimalist design. We believe that continued product development and innovation are key factors to our ongoing success. Approximately 13%12% of our employees are devoted to research and development activities. In fiscal year 2005,2007, we invested $30.0$50.1 million, or 7% of our revenues, in research and development.

 

Expand Geographic Presence.    We market our products in over 6068 countries to sleep clinics, home health carehealthcare dealers and third party payers. We intend to increase our sales and marketing efforts in our principal markets, as well as expand the depth of our presence in other geographic regions.

 

Increase Public and Clinical Awareness.    We intend to continue to expand our existing promotional activities to increase awareness of SDB and our treatment alternatives. These promotional activities target the population with predisposition to SDB as well as primary care physicians and specialists, such as cardiologists, neurologists and pulmonologists. In addition, we also target special interest groups, including the National Stroke Association, the American Heart Association and the National Sleep Foundation.

 

During fiscal 2005, 2004,years 2007, 2006 and 2003,2005, we donated $0.5 million, $0.5$Nil, $0.8 million and $nil$0.5 million, respectively, to the ResMed Foundation in the United States, and the ResMed Foundation Limited in Australia, to further enhance research and awareness of SDB. The contributions to the Foundations reflect ResMed’s commitment to medical research into sleep-disordered breathing, particularly the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

 

- 6 -


Expand into New Clinical Applications.We continually seek to identify new applications of our technology for significant unmet medical needs. Recent studies have established a clinical association between OSA and both stroke and congestive heart failure, and have recognized SDB as a cause of hypertension or high blood pressure. Research also indicates that SDB is independently associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. We have developed a device for the treatment of Cheyne-Stokes breathing in patients with congestive heart failure. In addition, we maintain close working relationships with a number of prominent physicians to explore new medical applications for our products and technology. We have recently received Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, clearance and launched a new product in the United States for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency due to central sleep apnea, mixed apnea and periodic breathing, called the Adapt SV. The Adapt SV uses a technology known as adaptive servo-ventilation and was first made available to a select group of U.S. key opinion leader sites beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Adaptive servo-ventilation, utilizes an advanced algorithm to calculate a patient-specific minute ventilation target and automatically adjusts pressure support to maintain the target. We believe this

- 6 -


technology has allowed physicians to successfully treat complex breathing disorders in some patients who had previously tried and failed traditional positive airway pressure therapy.

 

Leverage the Experience of our Management Team and Medical Advisory Board.Team.    Our senior management team has extensive experience in the medical device industry in general, and in the field of SDB in particular. Our Medical Advisory Board is comprised of experts in the field of SDB. We intend to continue to leverage the experience and expertise of these individuals to maintain our innovative approach to the development of products and increase awareness of the serious medical problems caused by SDB.

 

Products

 

Our portfolio of products for the treatment of OSA and other forms of SDB includes airflow generators, diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories.

 

Air Flow Generators

 

We produce CPAP, VPAP and AutoSet systems for the titration and treatment of SDB. The flow generator systems deliver positive airway pressure through a patient interface, either a small nasal mask, nasal pillows system, or full-face mask.

 

Our VPAP units deliver ultra-quiet, comfortable bilevel therapy. There are two preset pressures: a higher pressure as the patient breathes in, and a lower pressure as the patient breathes out. Breathing out against a lower pressure makes treatment more comfortable, particularly for patients who need high pressure levels or for those with impaired breathing ability.

 

AutoSet systems are based on a proprietary technology to monitor breathing and can also be used in the diagnosis, treatment and management of OSA. CPAP and VPAP flow generators accounted for approximately 49%52%, 50%52% and 53%49% of our net revenues in fiscal years 2005, 20042007, 2006 and 2003,2005, respectively.

 

- 7 -


With the recent acquisition of Saime SA in May 2005, we have increased our presence in the European homecare ventilation market. The VS and Elisée range of products are sophisticated, yet easy to use for physicians, clinicians and patients. We believe these devices complement our VPAP III, VPAP Adapt SV and Autoset CS2 for patients who need ventilatory assistance.

Mask Systems and Diagnostic Products

 

Mask systems are one of the most important elements of SDB treatment systems. Masks are a primary determinant of patient comfort and as such may drive or impede patient compliance with therapy. We have been a consistent innovator in masks, improving patient comfort while minimizing size and weight. Masks, accessories, motors and diagnostic products accounted for approximately 51%48%, 50%48% and 47%51% of our net revenues in fiscal years 2005, 20042007, 2006 and 2003,2005, respectively.

Accessories and Other Products

 

To enhance patient comfort, convenience and compliance, we market a variety of other products and accessories. These products include humidifiers, such as the HumidAire, H2i and H3i, which connect directly with the CPAP, VPAP and AutoSet flow generators to humidify and heat the air delivered to the patient. Their use helps prevent the drying of nasal passages that can cause discomfort. Other optional accessories include cold passover humidifiers, carry bags and breathing circuits. MAP also offers a rangeTo assist those professionals diagnosing or managing the treatment of accessories, includingpatients there are data communications and control products such as the Twister remote, an intelligent remote control for use inResLink, ResControl and ResControl II modules that facilitate the sleep laboratory environmenttransfer of data and other information to set and monitorfrom the flow generators, the Aero-Click connection system, which allows a quick, simple connect/disconnect between the mask and CPAP air delivery source and the AeroFix headgear, for the comfortable adjustment of masks for CPAP therapy.generators. Since the May 2002 acquisition of Servo MagneticsResMed Motor Technologies Inc., we have also sold custom electric motors, primarily for use in data storage and aerospace applications. Butapplications, but we do not expect custom electric motor sales to contribute material revenues in the future.

 

Product Development and Clinical Trials

 

We have a strong track record in innovation in the sleep market. In 1989, we introduced our first CPAP device. Since then we have been committed to an ongoing program of product advancement and development. Currently, our product development efforts are focused on not only improving our current product offerings, but also expanding into new product applications. For example, in 1997, we introduced the Mirage Mask. This mask was based on the innovative Bubble Mask technology introduced in 1991, which used the principle of air inflation of the mask cushion to create a more comfortable and better seal by better conforming to patient facial contours.

 

In 1999, we introduced the AutoSet T flow generator, an autotitrating device that adapts to the patient’s breathing patterns to effectively prevent apneas. In 2001, we introduced our next generation autotitrating device, the AutoSet Spirit. The AutoSet Spirit is an autotitrating modular device with optional integrated humidifier. In September 2003, we introduced the Activa nasal mask using our patented Active Cushion Technology, which automatically seals mask leaks. In August 2004, we launched an improved AutoSet CS 2 (outside the U.S. only) to treat congestive heart failure patients with significant central sleep apnea and also launched our Mirage Swift mask, a light and unobtrusive nasal cannula mask system. Also, in 2004 we launched an improved AutoSet CS 2 (outside the United States only) to treat congestive heart failure patients with significant central sleep apnea. In 2006, we launched the Adapt SV within the United States. This product is for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency due to central sleep apnea, mixed apnea and periodic breathing and uses a technology known as adaptive servo-ventilation.

 

We continually seek to identify new applications of our technology for significant unmet medical needs. SDB is associated with a number of symptoms beyond excessive daytime sleepiness and irritability. Recent studies have established a clinical association between SDB and hypertension, stroke, congestive heart failure and diabetes. We support clinical trials in the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, SwtizerlandSwitzerland and Australia to develop new clinical applications for our technology.

 

We consult with physicians at major sleep centers throughout the world to identify technological trends in the treatment of SDB. Some of these physicians currently serveserved on our Medical Advisory Board.Board during fiscal year 2006. During fiscal year 2007, we reorganized our Medical Advisory Board into several regional advisory boards. New product ideas are also identified by our marketing staff, direct sales force, network of distributors, manufacturers’ representatives, customers and patients. Typically, our internal development staff then developdevelops these ideas, where appropriate, into new products.

 

In fiscal years 2005, 2004,2007, 2006 and 20032005 we invested $30.0$50.1 million, $26.2$37.2 million and $20.5$30.0 million, respectively, on research and development.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We currently market our products in over 6068 countries using a network of distributors, independent manufacturers’ representatives and our direct sales force. We attempt to tailor our marketing approach

 

- 13 -


to each national market, based on regional awareness of SDB as a health problem, physician referral patterns, consumer preferences and local reimbursement policies.

 

North America and Latin America.    Our products are typically purchased by a home health carehealthcare dealer who then sells the products to the patient. The decision to purchase our products, as opposed to those of our competitors, is made or influenced by one or more of the following individuals or organizations: the prescribing physician and his or her staff; the home health carehealthcare dealer; the insurer and the patient. In the United States, our sales and marketing activities are conducted through a field sales organization made up of regional territory representatives, program development specialists and regional sales directors, and independent manufacturers’ representatives.directors. Our United StatesU.S. field sales organization markets and sells products to home health carehealthcare dealer branch locations throughout the United States. Our direct sales force receives a base salary, plus commissions, while our independent sales representatives receive higher commissions, but no base salary.

 

We also promote and market our products directly to sleep clinics. Patients who are diagnosed with OSA and prescribed CPAP treatment are typically referred by the diagnosing sleep clinic to a home health carehealthcare dealer to fill the prescription. The home health carehealthcare dealer, in consultation with the referring physician, will assist the patient in selecting the equipment, fit the patient with the appropriate mask and set the flow generator pressure to the prescribed level.

 

In the United States, our sales employees and manufacturers’ representatives are managed by the Chief Operating Officer Americas and Vice President of Marketing. Our Canadian and Latin American sales are conducted through independent distributors.Sales. Sales in North and Latin America accounted for 51%53%, 49%52% and 48%51% of our net revenues for fiscal years 2005, 2004,2007, 2006 and 2003,2005, respectively.

 

Europe.    We market our products in most major European countries. We have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.Kingdom that sell our products directly into those countries. We use independent distributors to sell our products in other areas of Europe. Distributors are selected in each country based on their knowledge of respiratory medicine and a commitment to SDB therapy. In each country in which we have a subsidiary, a local senior manager is responsible for direct national sales. In many countries in Europe, we sell our products to home health carehealthcare dealers who then sell the products to the patients. In Germany, we also operate a home health carehealthcare company, in which we provide products and services directly to patients, and receive reimbursement directly from third party payers.

 

Our European Chief Operating Officer is responsible for coordination of all European activities and, in conjunction with local management, the direct sales activity in Europe. Sales in Europe accounted for 41%39%, 43%39% and 42%41% of our total net revenues for fiscal years 2005, 2004,2007, 2006 and 2003,2005, respectively.

 

Asia Pacific.    Marketing in Asia Pacific and the rest of the world is the responsibility of our Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing Asia Pacific. We have wholly–owned subsidiaries in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, China and Singapore.India that sell our products directly into those countries. We use a combination of our direct sales force and independent distributors in Australia and New Zealand, and use independent distributors to sell our products elsewhere in Asia Pacific. Sales in Asia Pacific and the rest of the world accounted for 8%, 8%9% and 10%8% of our total net revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30,2007, 2006 and 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

 

Other Marketing Efforts.    In additionWe continue to our,pursue other suitable opportunities with professional and our distributors’ sales efforts, we work with the following cardiovascular diseasehealthcare associations to raise awareness of the co-morbidity of SDB in

- 14 -


cardiovascular disease patients, (cardiovascular disease includesincluding coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension and stroke):

(i) American College of Cardiology.    We work with the American College of Cardiology and its more than 20,000 cardiologist members to increase education and awareness in the cardiology community regarding the morbidity associated with sleep apnea in their patients. We have co-sponsored educational symposia with Guidant Corp at ACC in 2003 and ACC 2004 on sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease. We have exhibited at ACC national conferences since 2001. Sleep apnea was included in the formal ACC scientific sessions in 2004.

(ii) American Heart Association.    We have worked with the American Heart Association and we have attended the annual Scientific Sessions since 2001. Sleep apnea has been on the official program of the Scientific Sessions since 2002. We work with various regional and local AHA affiliates to increase awareness regarding sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease.

(iii) Heart Failure Society of America.    We have attended the Heart Failure Society of America national conferences since 2002. We have co-sponsored CME-level educational symposia with Guidant at HFSA 2003 and HFSA 2004 on sleep apnea and heart failure. We continue to see a very high level of interest amongst heart failure physicians, due to the significant (approximately 50%) prevalence of sleep apnea in heart failure patients, and the outcome improvements in blood pressure and ejection fraction observed in peer-reviewed studies using CPAP treatment.

Strategic Alliances

Guidant Corporation.    The Guidant Corporation is a world leader in the treatment of cardiac and vascular disease. Guidant and ResMed have entered into an agreement pursuant to which the companies will work together in the areas of sleep-disordered breathing and cardiac rhythm disorders, disease states with a significant patient population overlap. The companies plan to co-market to each other’s physician partners and customers, and to collaborate on research and development projects, clinical studies, as well as physician and patient education.

MedCath Corporation.    MedCath develops, owns, and operates hospitals in partnership with cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons. Our alliance allows MedCath to offer SDB screening, diagnosis, and treatment in conjunction with services currently offered through the company’s cardiovascular diagnostic centers.stroke.

 

We believe that our affiliations and continuedalso continue to work with these organizations raises theto raise awareness of SDB asin diabetes. Current research is increasingly showing an independent association between OSA and type 2 diabetes. Accordingly, we initiated a significant health concern.study investigating the prevalence of OSA in the type 2 diabetic population. Due to the high

- 14 -


prevalence of the SDB and type 2 diabetes, we are now actively supporting the American Association of Diabetes Educators and are in the process of setting up further initiatives to develop the SDB market in the diabetic population. ResMed is also reaching out to diabetes patients. Through our partnership with the American Diabetes Association, a sleep laboratory is now present at everyDiabetes Expo meeting where patients have the opportunity to learn about diabetes self-management.

 

Manufacturing

 

Our principal manufacturing facility is located in Sydney, Australia and comprises a 215,000155,000 square foot manufacturing facility. Our manufacturing operations consist primarily of assembly and testing of our flow generators, masks and accessories. Of the numerous raw materials, parts and components purchased for assembly of our therapeutic and diagnostic sleep disorder products, most are off-the-shelf items available from multiple vendors. We generally manufacture to our internal sales forecasts and fill orders as received. Over the last few years, the manufacturing processes have been transformed along lean manufacturing guidelines to flow lines staffed by dedicated teams. Each team is responsible for the manufacture and quality of their product group and decisions are based on performance and quality measures, including customer feedback.

 

Our quality management system is based upon the requirements of ISO 9001, EN46001 (European Medical Standards),ISO 13485, FDA Quality System Regulations for Medical Devices (21 CFR part 820) and the

- 15 -


Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC). Our Sydney, Australia facility isand San Diego, California facilities are each accredited to ISO 9001 and EN46001 and our San Diego, California facility is accredited to ISO 9002 and EN46002.13485. These two sites have third party audits conducted by the ISO certification bodies at regular intervals.

 

Our German manufacturing operation based in Munich operates in a facility of approximately 24,000 square feet. This facility is accredited to ISO 9001 and EN46001 and primarily assembles and tests flow generators for sale by our German subsidiary. Appropriate quality controls monitor and measure product assembly and performance.

As part of the acquisition of Saime SA on May 19, 2005, we also acquired a new 7,000 square feetfoot manufacturing facility.facility in Paris, France. This facility is accredited to ISO 13485 and is primarily responsible for the assembly of the Saime brand of mechanical ventilators and associated accessories.

 

We also manufacture high qualityhigh-quality electric motors for both our flow generator devices and external customers, primarily in the data storage and aerospace sectors, at our Servo MagneticsResMed Motor Technologies Inc., or “SMI” facility. We have recently leased a larger site of 72,000 square feet at Chatsworth, California and moved our Resmed Motor Technology operations into this facility at Canoga Park, California. The SMI facility is approximately 35,500 square feet.during the year ended June 30, 2007.

 

Third-Party Reimbursement

 

The cost of medical care in many of the countries in which we operate is funded in substantial part by government and private insurance programs. In Germany, we receive payments directly from these payers. Outside Germany, although we do not generally receive payments for our products directly from these payers, our success in major markets is dependent upon the ability of patients to obtain adequate reimbursement for our products.

 

In the United States, our products are purchased primarily by home health carehealthcare dealers, hospitals or sleep clinics, which then invoice third-party payers directly.directly for reimbursement. Domestic third-party payers include Medicare, Medicaid and corporate health insurance plans. These payers may deny reimbursement if they determine that a device is not used in accordance with cost-effective treatment methods, or is experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate. The long-term trend towards managed health care,healthcare, or legislative proposals to reform health care,healthcare, could control or significantly influence the purchase of health carehealthcare services and products and could result in lower prices for our products. In some foreign markets, such as Spain, France and Germany, government reimbursement is currently available for purchase or rental of our products, however, subject to constraints such as price controls or unit sales limitations. In Australia and in some other foreign markets, there is currently limited or no reimbursement for devices that treat OSA.

- 15 -


For example, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the 2003 Act) reduced medical reimbursement for respiratory drugs and home oxygen to homecare providers and placed a freeze on current reimbursement levels for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) through 2008. As required by the 2003 Act, Medicare plans to implement competitive bidding of durable medical equipment in 10 of the largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) by the end of 2007, and in 80 of the largest MSAs by the end of 2009. In addition, the U.S. Congress passed the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (2005 Act) in February 2006 which contained Medicare payment reductions for home oxygen equipment, and certain durable medical equipment classified by Medicare as capped rental equipment. In August 2006, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published a proposed regulation to implement the 2005 Act which could reduce Medicare reimbursement in 2007 for oxygen equipment. Additional reimbursement reductions for home oxygen were proposed in President Bush’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget proposal, and could also be enacted into law. Both the federal government and state legislatures are considering options for containing growth in the Medicaid program.

 

Even though we do not file claims or bill governmental programs and other third-party payers directly for reimbursement for our products sold in the United States, we are still subject to laws and regulations relating to governmental programs, and any violation of these laws and regulations could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines. In particular, the federal Anti-Kickback Law prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, recommending or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a Federal health carehealthcare program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The government has interpreted this law broadly to apply to the marketing and sales activities of manufacturers and distributors like us. Many states have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Law. We are also subject to other federal and state fraud laws applicable to payment from any third-party payer. These laws prohibit persons from knowingly and willfully filing false claims or executing a scheme to defraud any health carehealthcare benefit program, including private third-party payers. These laws may apply to manufacturers and distributors who provide information on coverage, coding and reimbursement of their products to persons who bill third-party payers. We continuously strive to comply with these laws and believe that our arrangements do not violate these laws. Liability may still arise from the intentions or actions of the parties with whom we do business or from a different governmental agency interpretation of the laws.

 

- 16 -


In some foreign markets, such as Spain, France and Germany, government reimbursement is currently available for purchase or rental of our products, however, subject to constraints such as price controls or unit sales limitations. In Australia and in some other foreign markets, there is currently limited or no reimbursement for devices that treat OSA.

Service and Warranty

 

We generally offer one-year and two-year limited warranties on our flow generator products. Warranties on mask systems are for 90 days. In most markets, we rely on our distributors to repair our products with parts supplied by us. In the United States, home health carehealthcare dealers generally arrange shipment of products to our San Diego facility for repair.

 

We receive returns of our products from the field for various reasons. We believe that the level of returns experienced to date is consistent with levels typically experienced by manufacturers of similar devices. We provide for warranties and returns based on historical data.

 

Competition

 

The markets for our products are highly competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in all of our markets are product features, reliability and price. Customer support, reputation and efficient distribution are also important factors.

 

We compete on a market-by-market basis with various companies, some of which have greater financial, research, manufacturing and marketing resources than ourselves.us. In the United States, our principal

- 16 -


market, Respironics Inc.,; DeVilbiss, a division of Sunrise Medical Inc., and; Nellcor Puritan Bennett, a subsidiarydivision of Tyco Inc.,Covidien Ltd.; and Fisher & PaykellPaykel Healthcare Corporation Limited are the primary competitors for our CPAP products. Our principal European competitors are also Respironics, DeVilbiss, and Nellcor Puritan Bennett, as well as regional European manufacturers. The disparity between our resources and those of our competitors may increase as a result of the trend towards consolidation in the health carehealthcare industry. In addition, our products compete with surgical procedures and dental appliances designed to treat OSA and other SDB related respiratory conditions. The development of new or innovative procedures or devices by others could result in our products becoming obsolete or noncompetitive, which would harm our revenues and financial condition.

 

Any product developed by us that gains regulatory clearance will have to compete for market acceptance and market share. An important factor in such competition may be the timing of market introduction of competitive products. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we can develop products, complete clinical testing and regulatory clearance processes and supply commercial quantities of the product to the market are important competitive factors. In addition, our ability to compete will continue to be dependent on the extent to which we are successful in protecting our patents and other intellectual property.

 

Patents and Proprietary Rights and Related Litigation

 

Through our subsidiaries ResMed Limited, Medizintechnik fur Arzt und PatientMAP Medizin-Technologie GmbH, SMIResMed Motor Technologies Inc., and Saime SA,SAS, we own or have licensed rights to 192271 issued United States patents (including 5682 design patents) and 242376 issued foreign patents. In addition, there are 182338 pending United States patent applications (including 41113 design patent applications), 369641 pending foreign patent applications, 312610 registered foreign designs and 107266 pending foreign designs. Some of these patents, patent applications and designs relate to significant aspects and features of our products.

 

Of our patents, nine13 United States patents and four27 foreign patents are due to expire in the next five years, with one1 foreign patent due to expire in each of the years 2005, 2007, 20092008, 2 in 2010, 16 in 2011, and 20108 in 2012; and one United States patent in 2005, two United States patents in 2007, four7 United States patents in 2008, and two2 United States patents in 2010.2010, and 4 United States patents in 2011. We believe that the expiration of these patents will not have a material adverse impact on our competitive position.

 

- 17 -


We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and non-disclosure agreements to protect our proprietary technology and rights.

 

Litigation may be necessary to attempt to enforce patents issued to us, to protect our rights, or to defend third-party claims of infringement by us of the proprietary rights of others. Patent laws regarding the enforceability of patents vary from country to country. Therefore, there can be no assurance that patent issues will be uniformly resolved, or that local laws will provide us with consistent rights and benefits.

 

Government Regulations

 

Our products are subject to extensive regulation particularly as to safety, efficacy and adherence to FDA Quality System Regulation, and related manufacturing standards. Medical device products are subject to rigorous FDA and other governmental agency regulations in the United States and similar regulations of relevant foreign agencies abroad. The FDA regulates the introduction, manufacture, advertising, labeling, packaging, marketing, distribution and record keeping for such products, in order to ensure that medical products distributed in the United States are safe and effective for their intended use. In addition, the FDA is authorized to establish special controls to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of most devices. Non-compliance with applicable requirements can result in import detentions, fines, civil penalties, injunctions, suspensions or losses of regulatory approvals,

- 17 -


recall or seizure of products, operating restrictions, refusal of the government to approve product export applications or allow us to enter into supply contracts, and criminal prosecution.

 

The FDA requires that a manufacturer introducing a new medical device or a new indication for use of an existing medical device obtain either a Section 510(k) premarket notification clearance or a premarket approval, or PMA, before introducing it into the U.S. market. Our products currently marketed in the United States are marketed in reliance on 510(k) pre-marketing clearances as either Class I or Class II devices. The process of obtaining a Section 510(k) clearance generally requires the submission of performance data and often clinical data, which in some cases can be extensive, to demonstrate that the device is “substantially equivalent” to a device that was on the market before 1976 or to a device that has been found by the FDA to be “substantially equivalent” to such a pre-1976 device. As a result, FDA approval requirements may extend the development process for a considerable length of time. In addition, in some cases, the FDA may require additional review by an advisory panel, which can further lengthen the process. The PMA process, which is reserved for new devices that are not substantially equivalent to any predicate device and for high-risk devices or those that are used to support or sustain human life, may take several years and requires the submission of extensive performance and clinical information.

 

As a medical device manufacturer, all of our domestic and Australian manufacturing facilities are subject to inspection on a routine basis by the FDA. We believe that our design, manufacturing and quality control procedures are in substantial compliance with the FDA’s regulatory requirements. MAP’s and Saime’s facilities are not subject to FDA regulation, because none of their products are currently marketed in the United States.

 

Sales of medical devices outside the United States are subject to regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. Approval for sale of our medical devices in Europe is through the CE mark process. Where appropriate, our products are CE marked to the European Union’s Medical Device Directive. Under the CE marketing scheme, our products are classified as either Class I or Class II; ourII. Our devices are listed in the United States with FDA; in Australia with the Therapeutic Goods Administration, or TGA;TGA, and in Canada with Health Canada.

- 18 -


On August 16, 2005, the US Food and Drug Administration authorized ResMed to market its VPAP Adapt SV device in the United States. The device is indicated for use to provide non-invasive ventilatory support to treat adult patients with OSA and respiratory insufficiency caused by central and/or mixed apneas and periodic breathing. ResMed does not expect to sell material quantities of the VPAP Adapt SV until the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, or later.

Medical Advisory BoardOur inability to compete successfully in our markets may harm our business.    The markets for our sleep-disordered breathing products are highly competitive and are characterized by frequent product improvements and evolving technology. Our ability to compete successfully depends, in part, on our ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative new products. The development of innovative new products by our competitors or the discovery of alternative treatments or potential cures for the conditions that our products treat could make our products noncompetitive or obsolete. Current competitors, new entrants, academics, and others are trying to develop new devices, alternative treatments or cures, and pharmaceutical solutions to the conditions our products treat.

 

Our Medical Advisory Board, consistsAdditionally, some of physicians specializingour competitors have greater financial, research and development, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. The past several years have seen a trend towards consolidation in the field of sleep-disordered breathinghealthcare industry and ventilation. Medical Advisory Board members meet as a group twice a yearin the markets for our products. Industry consolidation could result in greater competition if our competitors combine their resources or if our competitors are acquired by other companies with membersgreater resources than ours. This competition could increase pressure on us to reduce the selling prices of our senior managementproducts or could cause us to increase our spending on research and membersdevelopment and sales and marketing. If we are unable to develop innovative new products, maintain competitive pricing, and offer products that consumers perceive to be as reliable as those of our research and marketing departments to advise us on technology trends in SDB and other developments in sleep disorders medicine. Medical Advisory Board members are also available to consult on an as-needed basis withcompetitors, our senior management.

We have limited resources to market to approximately the implications3,000 U.S. sleep clinics and the more than 6,000 home healthcare dealer branch locations, most of SDB on strokewhich use, sell or recommend several brands of products. In addition, home healthcare dealers have experienced price pressures as government and is Headthird-party reimbursement has declined for home healthcare products, and home healthcare dealers are requiring price discounts and longer periods of time to pay for products purchased from us. We cannot assure you that sleep clinic physicians will continue to prescribe our products, or that home healthcare dealers or patients will not substitute competing products when a prescription specifying our products has been written.

We have expanded our marketing activities to target the Neurology Outpatient Clinicspopulation with a predisposition to sleep-disordered breathing as well as primary care physicians and Vice-Chairmanvarious medical specialists.

We expect that sales within these areas will account for approximately 50% of our net revenues in the Universityforeseeable future. Our sales outside of Colorado SchoolNorth America and our operations in Europe, Australia and Asia are subject to several difficulties and risks that are separate and distinct from those we face in our U.S. operations, including:

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

tariffs and other trade barriers;

compliance with foreign medical device manufacturing regulations;

difficulty in enforcing agreements and collect receivables through foreign legal systems;

reduction in third party payer reimbursement for our products;

inability to obtain import licenses;

changes in trade policies and in U.S. and foreign tax policies;

possible changes in export or import restrictions; and

Ralph Pascualy,Government and private insurance plans may not adequately reimburse patients for our products, which could result in reductions in sales or selling prices for our products.    M.D., is DirectorOur ability to sell our products depends in large part on the extent to which reimbursement for the cost of our products will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. These third party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services and can, without notice, deny coverage for treatments that may include the use of the Swedish Sleep Medicine Institute in Seattle, one of the largest sleep diagnostic and treatment facilities in the United States.

marketing, we cannot assure you that reimbursement will be allowed for the product, that the reimbursement amount will be adequate or, that the reimbursement amount, even if initially adequate, will not subsequently be reduced. For example, in some markets, such as Spain, France and critical care medicine. HeGermany, government reimbursement is a Fellowcurrently available for purchase or rental of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the American College of Physicians,our products but is subject to constraints such as price controls or unit sales limitations. In other markets, such as Australia and the American CollegeUnited Kingdom, there is currently limited or no reimbursement for devices that treat sleep-disordered breathing conditions. Additionally, future legislation or regulation concerning the healthcare industry or third party or governmental coverage and reimbursement, particularly legislation or regulation limiting consumers’ reimbursement rights, may harm our business.

As we continue to develop new products, those products will generally not qualify for reimbursement, if at all, until they are approved for marketing. In the United States, we sell our products primarily to home healthcare dealers and to sleep clinics. We do not file claims and bill governmental programs or other third party payers directly for reimbursement for our products. However, we are still subject to laws and regulations relating to governmental reimbursement programs, particularly Medicaid and Medicare.

In addition to reimbursement for our products, our customers depend in part on reimbursement by government and private health insurers for other products. Any proposed reductions in reimbursement, if they occur, may have a material impact on our customers. Any material impact on our customers may indirectly affect our sales to those customers, or the collectibility of Chest Physicians.receivables we have from those customers.

 

Helmut Teschler,Failure to comply with anti-kickback and fraud regulations could result in substantial penalties and changes in our business operations.    M.D.In particular, the federal Anti-Kickback Law prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, recommending or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The U.S. government has interpreted this law broadly to apply to the marketing and sales activities of manufacturers and distributors like us. Many states and other governments have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Law. We are also subject to other federal and state fraud laws applicable to payment from any third party payer. These laws prohibit persons from knowingly and willfully filing false claims or executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third party payers. These laws may apply to manufacturers and distributors who provide information on coverage, coding, and reimbursement of their products to persons who do bill third party payers. Any violation of these laws and regulations could result in civil and criminal penalties (including fines), is Professorincreased legal expenses and exclusions from governmental reimbursement programs, all of Medicinewhich could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial conditions and Headresults of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, High Dependency Unit, and Centre of Sleep Medicine at the Ruhrlandklinik, Medical Faculty, University of Essen, Germany.

J. Woodrow Weiss,Complying with Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other regulations is an expensive and time-consuming process, and any failure to comply could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.    M.D.,We are subject to various federal, state, local and international regulations regarding our business activities. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, recalls of our products, substantial fines and criminal charges against us or against our employees. Furthermore, our products could be subject to recall if the FDA or we determine, for any reason, that our products are not safe or effective. Any recall or other regulatory action could increase our costs, damage our reputation, affect our ability to supply customers with the quantity of products they require and materially affect our operating results. For example, in April 2007 we announced a worldwide voluntary product recall of approximately 300,000 of our S8 flow generators manufactured between July 2004 and May 2006. We have determined that there is Associate Professora remote potential for a short circuit in the power connector. In only seven cases worldwide, device failures have led to thermal damage to the device, with a remote

- 21 -


potential to ignite material external to the device. To date, no significant property damage or patient injury has been reported. The estimated cost of Medicinethis action is $59.7 million, which we recognized as an expense in the year ended June 30, 2007. We cannot assure you that this will be the total cost for the recall or that the total cost will not significantly exceed our estimates. Moreover, we cannot predict the effect this recall and Co-Chairmanthe negative publicity associated with the recall will have on our reputation among physicians and customers. Our results of operations could be severely impacted if we have failed to accurately estimate the costs of this product recall or if physicians and customers cease to recommend and purchase our products as a result of this product recall.

Product sales, introductions or modifications may be delayed or canceled as a result of FDA regulations or similar foreign regulations, which could cause our sales and profits to decline.    Before we can market or sell a new medical device in the United States, we must obtain FDA clearance, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process. We generally receive clearance from the FDA to market our products in the United States under Section 510(k) of the DivisionFederal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or our products are exempt from the Section 510(k) clearance process. We have modified some of Sleep Medicine at Harvardour Section 510(k) approved products without submitting new Section 510(k) notices, which we do not believe were required. However, if the FDA disagrees with us and requires us to submit new Section 510(k) notifications for modifications to our existing products, we may be required to stop marketing the products while the FDA reviews the Section 510(k) notification.

Any new product introduction or existing product modification could be subjected to a lengthier, more rigorous FDA examination process. For example, in certain cases we may need to conduct clinical trials of a new product before submitting a 510(k) notice. Additionally, we may be required to obtain premarket approvals for our products. The requirements of these more rigorous processes could delay product introductions and increase the costs associated with FDA compliance. Marketing and sale of our products outside the United States are also subject to regulatory clearances and approvals, and if we fail to obtain these regulatory approvals, our sales could suffer.

We cannot assure you that any new products we develop will receive required regulatory approvals from U.S. or foreign regulatory agencies.

The Company is subject to substantial regulation related to quality standards applicable to its manufacturing and quality processes. Failure by the Company to comply with these standards could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.    The FDA regulates the approval, manufacturing, and sales and marketing of many of the Company’s products in the U.S. Significant government regulation also exists in Canada, Japan, Europe, and other countries in which the Company conducts business. As a device manufacturer, the Company is required to register with the FDA and is subject to periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”) requirements, which require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations, including testing, quality control and documentation procedures. In addition, the federal Medical SchoolDevice Reporting regulations require the Company to provide information to the FDA whenever there is evidence that reasonably suggests that a device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, if a malfunction were to occur, could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is rigorously monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. In the European Community, the Company is required to maintain certain ISO certifications in order to sell its products and must undergo periodic inspections by notified bodies to obtain and maintain these certifications. Failure to comply with current governmental regulations and quality assurance guidelines could lead to temporary manufacturing shutdowns, product recalls or related field actions, product shortages or delays in product manufacturing. Efficacy or safety concerns, an increase in trends of adverse events in the marketplace, and/or manufacturing quality issues with respect to the Company’s products could lead to product recalls or related field actions, withdrawals, and/or declining sales.

Off-label marketing of our products could result in substantial penalties.    Clearance under Section 510(k) only permits us to market our products for the uses indicated on the labeling cleared by the FDA. We may request additional label indications for our current products, and the FDA may deny those requests outright, require additional expensive clinical data to support any additional indications or impose limitations on the intended use of any cleared products as well as Chief, Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA. He is an internationally recognized researcher in sleep-disorders medicine.a condition of clearance. If the FDA determines that we have marketed our products for off-label use, we could be subject to fines, injunctions or other penalties.

 

B. Tucker Woodson,Disruptions in the supply of components from our single source suppliers could result in a significant reduction in sales and profitability.    M.D., F.A.C.S., is ProfessorWe purchase uniquely configured components for our devices from various suppliers, including some who are single-source suppliers for us. We cannot assure you that a replacement supplier would be able to configure its components for our devices on a timely basis or, in the alternative, that we would be able to reconfigure our devices to integrate the replacement part.

A reduction or halt in supply while a replacement supplier reconfigures its components, or while we reconfigure our devices for the replacement part, would limit our ability to manufacture our devices, which could result in a significant reduction in sales and profitability. We cannot assure you that our inventories would be adequate to meet our production needs during any prolonged interruption of Otolaryngologysupply.

Our intellectual property may not protect our products, and/or our products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets and Communication Sciences atnon-disclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain and maintain United States and foreign patent protection for our products, their uses and our processes to preserve our trade secrets and to operate without infringing on the Medical Collegeproprietary rights of Wisconsin,third parties. We have a Diplomatnumber of pending patent applications, and we do not know whether any patents will issue from any of these applications. We do not know whether any of the American Academyclaims in our issued patents or pending applications will provide us with any significant protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially valuable. Legal standards regarding the validity of Sleep Medicine,patents and the proper scope of their claims are still evolving, and there is no consistent law or policy regarding the valid breadth of claims. Additionally, there may be third party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products and technology which are not known to us and that block or compete with our products.

We face the risks that:

third parties will infringe our intellectual property rights;

our non-disclosure agreements will be breached;

we will not have adequate remedies for infringement;

our trade secrets will become known to or independently developed by our competitors; or

third parties will be issued patents that may prevent the sale of our products or require us to license and pay fees or royalties in order for us to be able to market some of our products.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents issued to us, to protect our proprietary rights, or to defend third party claims that we have infringed upon proprietary rights of others. For example, we are currently appealing the decision of a Fellowcourt in Germany that entered judgment in favor of certain plaintiffs that had claimed they should be listed as co-inventors on two of our German patent applications. The defense and prosecution of patent claims, including these pending claims, as well as participation in other inter-party proceedings, can be expensive and time consuming, even in those

- 23 -


instances in which the outcome is favorable to us. If the outcome of any litigation or proceeding brought against us were adverse, we could be subject to significant liabilities to third parties, could be required to obtain licenses from third parties, could be forced to design around the patents at issue or could be required to cease sales of the American Academyaffected products. A license may not be available at all or on commercially viable terms, and we may not be able to redesign our products to avoid infringement. Additionally, the laws regarding the enforceability of Otolaryngology—Headpatents vary from country to country, and Neck Surgerywe cannot assure you that any patent issues we face will be uniformly resolved, or that local laws will provide us with consistent rights and benefits.

We are subject to potential product liability claims that may exceed the scope and amount of our insurance coverage, which would expose us to liability for uninsured claims.    We are subject to potential product liability claims as a result of the design, manufacture and marketing of medical devices. In April 2007, we announced a worldwide voluntary product recall of approximately 300,000 of our S8 flow generators manufactured between July 2004 and May 2006. We have determined that there is a remote potential for a short circuit in the power connector which can cause the device to fail. In only seven cases worldwide, device failures have led to thermal damage to the device, with a remote potential to ignite material external to the device. To date, no significant property damage or patient injury has been reported. However, we would likely be subject to product liability claims should any of these devices malfunction, resulting in injury to a patient or damage to property. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in the increase of our product liability insurance rates. In addition, we would have to pay any amount awarded by a court in excess of our policy limits. Our insurance policies have various exclusions, and thus we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no insurance coverage, in which case, we may have to pay the entire amount of any award. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate or that all claims brought against us will be covered by our insurance. Insurance varies in cost and can be difficult to obtain, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain insurance in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all. A successful product liability claim brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, if any, may require us to pay substantial amounts, which could harm our business.

We are subject to tax audits by various tax authorities in many jurisdictions.    From time to time we may be audited by the tax authorities and are still subject to an ongoing German tax audit. Any final assessment resulting from this audit could result in material changes to our past or future taxable income, tax payable or deferred tax assets, and could require us to pay penalties and interest that could materially adversely affect our financial results.

Our quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuation for a variety of reasons.    Our operating results have, from time to time, fluctuated on a quarterly basis and may be subject to similar fluctuations in the future. These fluctuations may result from a number of factors, including:

the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;

the geographic mix of product sales;

the success of our marketing efforts in new regions;

changes in third party reimbursement;

timing of regulatory clearances and approvals;

timing of orders by distributors;

expenditures incurred for research and development;

competitive pricing in different regions;

- 24 -


seasonality;

the cost and effect of promotional and marketing programs;

the effect of foreign currency transaction gains or losses; and

other activities of our competitors.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate.

If a natural or man-made disaster strikes our manufacturing facilities, we will be unable to manufacture our products for a substantial amount of time and our sales and profitability will decline.    Our facilities and the American Collegemanufacturing equipment we use to produce our products would be costly to replace and could require substantial lead-time to repair or replace. The facilities may be affected by natural or man-made disasters and in the event they were affected by a disaster, we would be forced to rely on third party manufacturers. Although we believe we possess adequate insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of Surgeons. Heour business from casualties, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Delaware law, provisions in our charter and our shareholder rights plan could make it difficult for another company to acquire us.    Provisions of our certificate of incorporation may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management which might be beneficial to us or our security holders. In particular, our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, serving for staggered three-year terms. Because of this classification it will require at least two annual meetings to elect directors constituting a majority of our Board of Directors.

Additionally, our Board of Directors has the Directorauthority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of the Medical Collegeholders of Wisconsin/Froedert Memorial Lutheran Hospital Centerour common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, may discourage bids for Sleep. Dr. Woodson also sitsour common stock at a premium over the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

You may not be able to enforce the judgments of U.S. courts against some of our assets or officers and directors.    A substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. Additionally, two of our eight directors and three of our seven executive officers reside outside the United States, along with all or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments of U.S. courts relating to any liabilities under U.S. securities laws against our assets, those persons or their assets. In addition, we have been advised by our Australian counsel that some doubt exists as to the ability of investors to pursue claims based on multiple committees for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and American Academy of Otolaryngology.U.S. securities laws against these assets or these persons in Australian courts.

ITEM 3LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company was engaged inIn the normal course of business, we are subject to routine litigation relatingincidental to our business. While the results of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

During September and October 2004, we began receiving tax assessment notices for the audit of one of our German subsidiaries by the German tax authorities for the years 1996 through 1998. Certain of these adjustments are being contested and appealed to the enforcement and defenseGerman tax authority office. We believe no additional provision is necessary for any tax adjustment that may result from the tax audit. However, the outcome of certainthe audit cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any tax audit issues be resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income tax in the period of its patents during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.resolution.

 

2005 Litigation.    OnIn December 23, 2002, three former contractors of our subsidiary MAP Medizin-Technologie GmbH initiated proceedings in Munich 1 Regional Court (Proceedings No. 7 O 23286/02), petitioning the Court for a declaration of inventorship with respect to MAP German Patent Applications identified as No. 100 31 079 and 101 92 802.5 and European Patent Application No. EP 01 967 819.7. On March 10, 2005, the Court entered judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that they should be identified as co-inventors in place of certain individual defendants. In April 2005, MAP filed an appeal of that decision. We do not expect the outcome of this litigation to have an adverse material effect on us.

ITEM 7MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITIONAND RESULTSOF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of financial condition and results of operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Resmed Inc. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with selected financial data and consolidated financial statements and notes, included herein.

 

We design, manufactureare a leading developer, manufacturer and marketdistributor of medical equipment for the diagnosistreating, diagnosing, and treatment ofmanaging sleep-disordered breathing conditions, includingand other respiratory disorders. Sleep-disordered breathing, or SDB, includes obstructive sleep apnea. Our net revenues are generated fromapnea, or OSA, and other respiratory disorders that occur during sleep. When we were formed in 1989, our primary purpose was to commercialize a treatment for OSA developed by Professor Colin Sullivan. This treatment, nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, was the sale and rental of our various flow generator devices,first successful noninvasive treatment for OSA. CPAP systems deliver pressurized air, typically through a nasal mask, systems, accessories and other products, and, to a lesser extent from royalties and salesprevent collapse of custom motors.the upper airway during sleep.

 

We have invested significant resources in research and development and product enhancement. Since 1989,the development of CPAP, we have developed several innovations to the original CPAP device to increase patient comfort and to improve easea number of product use. We have been developinginnovative products for automated treatment, titrationSDB and monitoringother respiratory disorders including airflow generators, diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories. Our growth has been fuelled by geographic expansion, increased awareness of OSA, suchrespiratory conditions as the AutoSet T and AutoSet Spirit flow generators. We have also developed numerous innovations associated with our mask product offerings and they now form a significant parthealth concern among physicians and patients, and our research and product development effort.

We currently employ approximately 2,700 people and market our products in over 68 countries using a network of distributors, independent manufacturers’ representatives and our direct sales force. We market our products primarily to home health care dealers and sleep clinics. We attempt to tailor our marketing approach to each national market, based on regional awareness of SDB as a health problem, physician referral patterns, consumer preferences and local reimbursement policies.

Our principal manufacturing facility is located in Sydney, Australia, and we have additional manufacturing facilities in Combs La Ville, France and Chatsworth, California. Our manufacturing operations consist primarily of assembly and testing of our product portfolio.flow generators, masks and accessories. Of the numerous raw materials, parts and components purchased for assembly of our therapeutic and diagnostic sleep disorder products, most are off-the-shelf items available from multiple vendors. We generally manufacture to our internal sales forecasts and fill orders as received.

Since its formation in 1987, Saime has developed a complete range of ventilators for use in the home and hospital markets. Saime distributes its products directly in France and Germany and through a network of distributors in Europe and Asia Pacific. Saime develops, manufactures and markets products from its headquarters near Paris, with a staff of approximately 100.

The company believes that the Saime acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill primarily because of its industry position and management strength. In addition, Saime’s products complete our line of homecare ventilation products and will immediately expand our market presence and distribution network in Europe and other regions. The Saime devices will complement our VPAPIII and Autoset CS devices and will allow us to provide the full range of options for patients who need ventilatory assistance.$4.4 million.

Resprecare BV.BV (“Resprecare”).    On December 1, 2004, we acquired substantially all the assets of Resprecare BV, our Dutch distributor, for initial consideration of $5.9 million in cash, including acquisition costs. The acquisition of the exclusive Dutch distributor is consistent with our strategy for ongoing expansion of our international operations. Under the purchase agreement, we potentially were also required to make up to $1.4 million of additional future payments based on the achievement of certain milestones. Of these potential additional payments, $0.6 million was paid in January 2005 as a result of the successful achievement of a performance milestone and a further $0.7 million was accrued at June 30, 2005paid in January 2006 as a result of the integration of the Dutch subsidiary of our subsidiary MAP Medizin-Technologie GmbH, or MAP, with the newly-acquired Resprecare business. The decision to integrate these operations determined the amount of the final future payment, which will be paid in January 2006.

The acquisition has been accounted for using purchase accounting and accordingly, the results of operations of Resprecare have been included within our consolidated financial statements from December 1, 2004. An amount of $4.4 million, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired of $2.8 million, has been recorded as goodwill, which will be tax deductible. An independent third party has completed a valuation of identifiable intangible assets associated with the Resprecare acquisition. As a result of this valuation, $1.7 million that was preliminarily allocated to goodwill has been recorded as a customer relationship intangible asset and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of seven years.

We expect that the acquisitions of Resprecare, Hoefner and Saime will not have a significant impact on the historical relationship of our gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense, expressed as a percentage of our net revenue.

Respro Medical Company Limited (“Respro”).    On July 2, 2003 we acquired the assets of Respro Medical Company Limited (“Respro”), our Hong Kong distributor for total consideration of $184,000 in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for using purchase accounting and accordingly, the results of operations of Respro have been included within our consolidated financial statements from July 2, 2003. An amount of $89,000, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired of $95,000, has been recorded as goodwill.

In-Process Research and Development Charge (IPR&D)(“IPR&D”)

 

On acquisition of Saime in May 2005, we recognized as an expense a charge of $5.3 million with respect to IPR&D programs under active development by Saime that, at date of acquisition, had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The estimated fair value assigned to IPR&D was based on an independent appraisal and was comprised of the following projects (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation Costs

 

TheWe have granted stock options to personnel, including officers and directors, under our 1995 Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), our 1997 Equity Participation Plan (the “1997 Plan”) and our 2006 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan” and together with the 1995 Plan and the 1997 Plan, the “Plans”). These options have expiration dates of seven or ten years from the date of grant and vest over three or four years. We granted these options with the exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of IPR&D was calculated by identifying research projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established, estimatinggrant. We have also offered to our personnel, including officers and directors, the costsright to develop the purchased in-process technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such products, discounting the net cash flowspurchase shares of our common stock at a discount pursuant to present value, and applying the reduced percentage completion of the projects thereto. The discount rate used in the analysis was 25%, which was based on the risk profile of the acquired assets.our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”).

 

As of July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No.123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation expense of all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of acquisition, these projects havegrant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS No.123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of SFAS No.123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), shall be recognized in net income in the periods after adoption. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, using the graded-attribution method for stock-based awards granted prior to July 1, 2005 and the straight-line method for stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005.

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plans and purchase rights granted under our ESPP is estimated costs to complete totaling approximately $1.1 million.on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, assuming no dividends and the following assumptions:

Tax Expense

 

Our income tax rate is governed by the laws of the regions in which our income is recognized. To date, a substantial portion of our income has been subject to income tax in Australia where the statutory rate was 30% in fiscal 2005, 2004years 2007, 2006 and 2003.2005. During fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, 2004 and 2003, our consolidated effective tax rate has fluctuated between approximately 31%32% and approximately 33%34%. These fluctuations have resulted from, and future effective tax rates will depend upon, numerous factors, including the amount of research and development expenditures for which a 125% Australian tax deduction is available, the level of non-deductible expenses, and other tax credits or benefits available to us under applicable tax laws.

 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The increase in net revenue was attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators, masks and accessories. Sales also benefited from an appreciation ofMovements in international currencies against the U.S. dollar (increasing salespositively impacted revenues by approximately $10.4 million). $20.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2007.

This growth has been generated by increased public and physician awareness of sleep-disordered breathing together with our continued investment in our sales force and marketing initiatives. ProductRecent product releases, during the year, in particular ourthe Adapt SV, Swift II and Mirage Swift mask,Quattro, have also contributed strongly to our sales growth.

 

Net revenue in markets outside the Americas increased for the year ended June 30, 20052007 to $207.4$339.6 million from $173.2$286.0 million for the years ended June 30, 20052007 and 20042006, respectively, an increase of 20%19%. International sales growth for the year ended June 30, 2005predominantly reflects organic growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market appreciationand the positive impact from movements of international currencies against the U.S. dollar and the acquisition during the year of Resprecare, Hoefner and Saime. These acquisitions contributed incremental revenue of $11.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005.dollar.

Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased for the year ended June 30, 20052007 to $274.9$384.5 million from $216.7$376.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2004,2006, an increase of $58.2$7.6 million or 27%2%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increaseddecreased for the year ended June 30, 20052007 to 65%54% from 64%62% for the year ended June 30, 2004.2006. The improvementdecrease in gross margin reflects a more favorable product mixis primarily due to increased$59.7 million of voluntary product recall expenses that we recognized during the year ended June 30 2007. Excluding voluntary product recall expenses, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 62% for the year ended June 30, 2007, which is consistent with the year ended June 30, 2006. Stock-based compensation expenses of $1.1 million have been included in cost of sales of higher margin mask products and new product introductions.for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.

 

-Voluntary Product Recall Expenses.    On April 23, 2007, we initiated a worldwide voluntary product recall of approximately 300,000 units of our early production S8 flow generators. In these particular units, which were manufactured between July 2004 and May 15, 2006, there is a remote potential for a short circuit in the power supply connector. Furthermore, in seven cases worldwide, device failures have led to thermal damage to the device, with a remote potential to ignite material external to the device. We are working with our distribution partners globally to provide a replacement device to patients who have an affected S8 flow generator.

The estimated cost of this recall action is $59.7 million which has been recognized as a charge to cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of income during the year ended June 30, -

2007. At June 30, 2007, we have incurred costs of approximately $16.3 million associated with the product recall. We expect the product recall to continue throughout fiscal year 2008. We cannot assure that the actual costs of the product recall will not differ from the amount we have estimated and recognized in our financial statements.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 20052007 to $135.7$237.3 million from $104.7$200.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2004,2006, an increase of $31.0$37.1 million or 30%19%. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 20052007 was 32%, marginally higher than 31% in33% and is consistent with the year ended June 30, 2004. 2006. Stock-based compensation expenses of $14.5 million have been included within selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $12.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2006.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of sales and administrative personnel to support our growth, the acquisitions of Resprecare, Hoefner and Saime, continued infrastructure investment, particularly in our European businesses, stock-based compensation costs and other expenses related to the increase in our sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was also attributable to net appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which added approximately $4.0$9.0 million to our expenses for the year ended June 30, 2007, as reported in U.S. dollars. As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future selling, general and administrative expense to continue in the historical range of 31%32% to 33%34%.

Research and Development Expenses.    Research and development expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2007 to $50.1 million from $37.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $12.9 million or 35%. As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses were 7% for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to 6% for the year ended June 30, 2006. Stock-based compensation costs of $2.0 million have been included within research and development expenses for both the year ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2006.

The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel, increased charges for consulting fees and an increase in technical assessments incurred to facilitate development of new products. The increase in research

- 35 -


and development expenses was also attributable to net appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which added approximately $2.4 million to our expenses for the year ended June 30, 2007, as reported in U.S. dollars. As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future research and development expense to continue in the range of 6% to 7%.

 

Donations to Foundations.    In the years ended June 30, 20052007 and 20042006, we donated $0.5 million$Nil and $0.5$0.8 million, respectively, to the ResMed Foundation in the U.S.,United States, and the ResmedResMed Foundation Limited in Australia. The Foundation’sFoundations’ overall mission includes the education of both the public and physicians about the inherent dangers of untreated SDB/OSA, particularly as it relates to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease.

 

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets.    Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2007 totaled $6.9 million compared to $6.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The increase in amortization expense is mainly attributable to the appreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar as the majority of the acquired intangible assets are denominated in Euros. The amortized amounts in 2007 related to acquired intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Pulmomed, PolarMed, Saime, Hoefner and Resprecare.

Restructuring Expenses.    Restructuring expenses incurred for the year ended June 30, 2007 were $Nil compared to $1.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Restructuring expenses for 2006 consisted of restructure charges associated with our integration of the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit. We have completed the relocation of our ResMed Germany operation, previously located in Moenchengladbach, to Munich and associated integration of the back office functions including customer service, logistics and administration.

Other Income (Expense), Net.    Other income, net for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $7.8 million, an increase of $5.7 million over the year ended June 30, 2006. This was predominantly due to higher interest income on additional cash balances, lower interest expense due to the reduction in our convertible debt, which was converted into equity during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and higher foreign currency gains on foreign currency transactions and hedging.

Income Taxes.    Our effective income tax rate decreased to approximately 32.3% for the year ended June 30, 2007 from approximately 33.9% for the year ended June 30, 2006. Our effective income tax rate was impacted by the tax benefit associated with the voluntary product recall expense that was recognized during the year ended June 30, 2007. Excluding the impact of voluntary product recall expenses, the effective income tax rate was 31.4% for the year ended June 30, 2007.

The decrease in our effective tax rate from June 30, 2006 is primarily due to the one-time additional income tax expense of $3.5 million, which we incurred during the year ended June 30, 2006, associated with the repatriation of $75 million in dividends received from certain controlled foreign corporations. These dividend payments were made to take advantage of a temporary tax incentive under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which provides an 85% exclusion from U.S. taxable income for qualifying dividends.

We continue to benefit from the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% and certain Australian research and development tax benefits because we generate a majority of our taxable income in Australia. Excluding the impact of tax expense associated with the dividend payment in fiscal year 2006, our effective tax rate was 31.2%, which is broadly consistent with our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2007.

Net Income.    As a result of the factors above, our net income for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $66.3 million or $0.85 per diluted share compared to net income of $88.2 million or $1.16 per diluted

- 36 -


share for the year ended June 30, 2006. The net after tax impact of the voluntary product recall expense of $41.8 million described above resulted in a reduction of diluted earnings per share of $0.53 on an after-tax basis for the year ended June 30, 2007. Excluding the impact of the voluntary product recall expense, diluted earnings per share was $1.38, an increase of 19% over the year ended June 30, 2006.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005

Net Revenues.    Net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $607.0 million from $425.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $181.5 million or 43%. The increase in net revenue was attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators, masks and accessories and incremental sales contributed from acquisitions. Sales were negatively impacted by the appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar (decreasing sales by approximately $11.3 million).

Excluding the impact of acquisitions and unfavorable foreign currency movements sales for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased by 32% compared to the year ended June 30, 2005. Net revenue in North and Latin America increased for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $321.0 million from $218.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $102.9 million or 47%. This growth has been generated by increased public and physician awareness of sleep-disordered breathing together with our continued investment in our sales force and marketing initiatives. Recent product releases, in particular our Mirage Swift mask and S8 flow generator platform, have also contributed strongly to our sales growth.

Net revenue in markets outside the Americas increased for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $286.0 million from $207.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively, an increase of 38%. International sales growth for the year ended June 30, 2006 reflects organic growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market and the recent acquisitions of Resprecare, Hoefner, Saime, PolarMed and Pulmomed. These acquisitions contributed incremental revenue of $52.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and unfavourable foreign currency movements, international sales for the year ended June 30, 2006 grew by 17% compared to the year ended June 30, 2005.

Sales of flow generators for the year ended June 30, 2006 totaled $316.6 million, an increase of 51% compared to the year ended June 30, 2005, including increases of 47% in North and Latin America and 53% elsewhere. Sales of mask systems, motors and other accessories totaled $290.4 million, an increase of 35%, including increases of 47% in North and Latin America and 16% elsewhere, for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to the year ended June 30, 2005. These increases primarily reflect growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market, acquisitions during the year, and new product releases, particularly the Mirage Swift Mask and our new flow generator platform, the S8.

Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $376.9 million from $274.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $102.0 million or 37%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue decreased for the year ended June 30, 2006 to 62% from 65% for the year ended June 30, 2005. The reduction in gross margin reflects the change in product and geographical mix of sales with a higher proportion of sales in flow generators, which generate lower margins relative to our mask sales, and higher North and Latin American sales, which also typically generate lower margins relative to our international sales, as well as the additional stock-based compensation costs. Stock-based compensation expenses of $0.9 million have been included within cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to no stock-based compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $200.2 million from $135.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $64.5 million or 48%. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 was 33%, marginally higher than 32% in the year ended June 30, 2005. Stock-based compensation expenses of $12.4 million have been included within selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 were 31%, which is marginally lower than 32% in the year ended June 30, 2005.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to stock-based compensation costs, an increase in the number of sales and administrative personnel to support our growth, the acquisitions of Resprecare, Hoefner, Saime, PolarMed and Pulmomed, continued infrastructure investment, particularly in our European businesses, and other expenses related to the increase in our sales. As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future selling, general and administrative expense to continue in the historical range of 31% to 34%.

Research and Development Expenses.    Research and development expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 20052006 to $30.0$37.2 million from $26.2$30.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2004,2005, an increase of $3.8$7.2 million or 15%24%. As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses were 6% for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to 7% for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to 8%2005. Stock-based compensation costs of $2.0 million have been included within research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2004. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to higher employee compensation and increased charges for consulting fees and technical assessments incurred to facilitate development of new products. The increase also reflects an appreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar, as the majority of research and development costs are incurred in Australian dollars. The appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar added approximately $1.3 million to our research and development expenses as reported in U.S. dollars.2006. As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future research and development expense to continue in the range of 5% to 7%.

 

Donations to Foundations.    In the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we donated $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to the ResMed Foundation in the United States, and the ResMed Foundation in Australia. The Foundations’ overall mission includes the education of both the public and physicians about the inherent dangers of untreated SDB/OSA, particularly as it relates to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease.

In-process Research and Development Charge.    PurchasedNo in-process research and development charge was incurred for the year ended June 30, 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2005, purchased in-process research and development of $5.3 million was expensed upon the acquisition of Saime as technological feasibility of the products under development had not been established and no further alternative uses existed. The nature of this charge is explained more fully in note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets.    Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 20052006 totaled $6.3 million compared to $0.9 million ($nil for the year ended June 30, 2004) and2005. The amortized amounts in 2006 related to acquired intangible assets totaling $46.0 million associated with the acquisitions of Pulmomed, PolarMed, Saime, Hoefner and Resprecare.

 

Restructure.Restructuring Expenses.    Restructuring expenses incurred for the year ended June 30, 20052006 were $1.1 million compared to $5.2 million andfor the year ended June 30, 2005. Restructuring expenses for 2006 consisted of restructure charges associated with our integration of the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit. We have completed the relocation of our ResMed Germany operation, previously located in Moenchengladbach, to Munich and associated integration of the back office functions including customer service, logistics and administration. We willplan to continue to monitor the progress of this restructure and adjust our business strategies and personnel accordingly in an effort to achieve maximummaximize efficiencies and cost savings.

 

Other Income (Expense), Net.    Other expense,income, net for the year ended June 30, 20052006 was $0.7$2.1 million, consistent with the year ended June 30, 2004. In fiscal year 2005,an increase of $2.8 million from other expense, net reflected lower net foreign currency exchange gains, partially offset byof $0.7 million for the year ended

Income Taxes.    Our effective income tax rate increased to approximately 33%33.9% for the year ended June 30, 2006 from approximately 33.0% for the year ended June 30, 2005. This was primarily due to the one-time additional income tax expense of $3.5 million associated with the repatriation of $75 million in dividends received from certain controlled foreign corporations. These dividend payments were made to take advantage of a temporary tax incentive under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which provides an 85% exclusion from U.S. taxable income for qualifying dividends. The repatriation of these funds to the United States provides us with increased flexibility in the utilization of cash to further our strategic objectives.

Excluding the impact of the one-time additional income tax expense of $3.5 million relating to the dividend repatriation, the effective tax rate for the year ended June 30, 2006 was 31.2%. This compares to an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 31.2% for the year ended June 30, 2005 from approximately 32% for the year ended June 30, 2004. However, adding backwhen excluding the impact of the non-deductible in-process research and development charge of $5.3 million takenincurred in the year ended June 30, 2005 would result in an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 31%. The lower adjusted effective tax rate was primarily due to our geographical mix of taxable income. In particular, weprior year. We continue to benefit from the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% and certain Australian R&Dresearch and development tax benefits because we generate a majority of our taxable income in Australia.

 

Net Income.    As a result of the factors above, our net income for the year ended June 30, 20052006 was $64.8$88.2 million or $1.82$1.16 per diluted share compared to net income of $57.3$64.8 million or $1.63$0.91 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2004.2005. The net after tax impact of stock-based compensation costs, restructuring expenses, in-process research and development charge, and amortization of acquired intangible assets and the repatriation of funds described above constitutedresulted in a reduction of $0.24diluted earnings per share of $0.26 and $0.00 per diluted share$0.12 on an after-tax basis, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 20052006 and 2004.2005.

 

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003

Net Revenues.    Net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $339.3 million from $273.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $65.7 million or 24%.

The increase in net revenue was attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators, masks and accessories. Sales also benefited from an appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar (increasing sales by approximately $18.6 million). Net revenue in North and Latin America increased to $166.1 million from $130.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively. This growth primarily reflects increased public and physician awareness of sleep-disordered breathing. Net revenue in international markets increased to $173.2 million from $142.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively. International sales growth for the year ended June 30, 2004 reflects organic growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market and appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Sales for the previous year ended June 30, 2003 included non-recurring SARS-related sales to China of approximately $5.0 million. Excluding the impact of these sales, international sales grew by 26%. Excluding both the impacts of the appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar and SARS-related sales, international sales grew by 12%.

Sales of flow generators for the year ended June 30, 2004 increased by 18% compared to the year ended June 30, 2003, including increases of 20% in North and Latin America and 16% elsewhere. Sales of mask systems, motors and other accessories increased by 31%, including increases of 33% in North and Latin America and 29% elsewhere, for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to the year ended June 30, 2003. These increases primarily reflect growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market and appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $216.7 million from $173.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $43.6 million or 25%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2004 to 64% from 63% for the year ended June 30, 2003. The small improvement in gross margin reflects a more favorable product mix due to increased sales of higher margin products, partially offset by the impact of higher manufacturing costs resulting from a stronger Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar, as the majority of manufacturing labor and overhead costs are incurred in Australia.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $104.7 million from $85.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $19.4 million or 23%. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2004 was 31%, consistent with the year

- 32 -


ended June 30, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of sales and administrative personnel and other expenses related to the increase in our sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was also attributable to appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar which added approximately $8.1 million to our expenses as reported in U.S. dollars.

Donations to Foundation.    In the year ended June 30, 2004 we donated $0.5 million to the ResMed Foundation in the U.S., and the Resmed Foundation Limited in Australia. The Foundation’s overall mission includes the education of both the public and physicians about the inherent dangers of untreated SDB/OSA, particularly as it relates to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease.

Research and Development Expenses.    Research and development expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2004 to $26.2 million from $20.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $5.7 million or 28%. As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses were 7.7% for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to 7.5% for the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase in research and development expenses was due to increased salaries associated with an increase in personnel and increased charges for consulting fees, clinical trials and technical assessments incurred to facilitate development of new products. The increase also reflects an appreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar, as the majority of research and development costs are incurred in Australian dollars.

The appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar added approximately $3.8 million to our research and development expenses as reported in U.S. dollars.

Other Income (Expense), Net.    Other expense, net increased for the year ended June 30, 2004 to net expense of $0.7 million from net expense of $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase in other expense was attributable to no gains on extinguishment of debt this year compared to $0.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, and lower net foreign currency exchange gains, partially offset by lower interest expense due to the reduction in convertible note debt.

Income Taxes.    Our effective income tax rate increased to 32.3% for the year ended June 30, 2004 from 31.9% for the year ended June 30, 2003. The marginally higher tax rate was primarily due to the geographical mix of taxable income. We continue to benefit from the Australian corporate tax rate of 30%, because we generate a majority of our taxable income in Australia.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 20052007 and June 30, 2004,2006, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available-for-sale of $142.2$277.7 million and $140.9$219.5 million, respectively. Working capital was $141.7$466.4 million and $222.2$381.3 million at June 30, 20052007 and June 30, 20042006, respectively.

During the year ended June 30, 2005,2007, we generated cash of $71.1$91.1 million from operations. This was lower than the cash generated from operations for the year ended June 30, 20042006 of $76.5$99.0 million and was primarily reflects the increaseresult of the decrease in inventorynet income, higher working capital balances and receivables attributableproduct recall costs. The cash generated from operations included a reduction of $12.4 million and $9.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, due to the factors described above.adoption of SFAS 123(R) as tax benefits associated with employee stock options exercised during the year are required to be included within cashflows from financing activities.

 

Capital expenditures for the years ended June 30, 20052007 and 20042006 aggregated $39.7$77.6 million and $57.2$102.7 million, respectively. ForThe capital expenditures for the year ended June 30, 2005, $23.5 million of the expenditure related to the construction of our new manufacturing facility. The capital expenditures in the year ended June 30, 20052007 primarily reflected the construction of our new manufacturing, research and development building, office facilities, computer hardware and software, rental and loan equipment and purchase of production tooling equipment and machinery. As a result of these capital expenditures, our balance sheet reflects net property, plant and equipment of approximately $174.2$310.6 million at June 30, 20052007 compared to $147.3$245.4 million at June 30, 2004.2006.

 

We are currently buildingDuring the year ended June 30, 2007, we completed the construction of our new research and development and office facilities at our existing site in Sydney, Australia and expect thisAustralia. We incurred construction costs of $12 million to be completed by the second half of calendar 2006. We estimate that the additionalcomplete our new building costs for the new researchyear ended June 30, 2007. We also commenced an extension to our manufacturing facility in Sydney, Australia. We have incurred $7 million during the year and development and office facilities will beestimate additional construction cost of approximately $49.0 million.$7 million to complete the project. We expect to complete this extension within the next fiscal year and to fund the project through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

On May 16, 2005 we obtained a five-year loan of 50 million Euro, equivalent to $62.7 million, from HSBC Bank Australia Limited, to fund the acquisition of Saime SA.

 

On July 7, 2005, we purchased a 9.78-acre parcel of land in San Diego for $21.0 million. The new location at Kearney Mesa, San Diego will allow us to develop a new corporate headquarters. We commenced construction of our new corporate headquarters during 2007 and to date have incurred expenditures of $4 million. We estimate additional construction costs of $91 million to complete the project. We expect to commence building during calendar year 2006complete the project in March 2009 and begin moving intoto fund the facility in calendar 2007.

During fiscal year 2006, and pursuant to the Indenture dated June 20, 2001 between us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, holders of all of the 4% Convertible Subordinated Notes (“the Notes”) due 2006 converted the Notes into an aggregate of 3,737,593 shares of our common stock, par value $0.004. The Notes were converted into 33 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, at a conversion price of $30.30 per share. The dilutive impact of these conversions has been reflected in our reported earnings per share.

On March 13, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiaries ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement with Union Bank of California, N.A. as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Loan Agreement”), that provides for a revolving loan of up to $75 million. The Loan Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that we maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), a fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and that certain of our subsidiaries maintain a minimum EBITDA and liquidity. We are currently in compliance with all of these covenants. Draws under the revolving loans must be made before March 1, 2011, at which time all unpaid principal and interest under both loans must be repaid. The outstanding principal amount due under the loans will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.00% (depending on the applicable leverage ratio). At June 30, 2007 there were no amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

On June 8, 2006, our wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, ResMed Limited, entered into a Syndicated Facility Agreement with HSBC Bank Australia Limited as original financier, facility agent and security trustee, that provides for a loan in three tranches.

Tranche A is a EUR 50 million term loan facility that refinances all amounts outstanding under a previous syndicated facility agreement dated May 16, 2005 between ResMed Limited and HSBC Bank Australia Limited, to fund the obligations of our wholly-owned French subsidiary ResMed SA under its agreement to acquire Saime. Tranche A bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of ResMed Inc. and its subsidiaries, which we refer to as the ResMed Group, for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. Payments of principal must be made to reduce the total outstanding principal amount of Tranche A to EUR 37.75 million on June 30, 2008, EUR 27.5 million on June 30, 2009, EUR 15 million on December 31, 2009, and the entire outstanding principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At June 30, 2007, the Tranche A facility loan had an amount outstanding of $65.3 million.

Tranche B is a USD 15 million term loan facility that may only be used for the purpose of financing capital expenditures and other asset acquisitions by the ResMed Group. Tranche B bears interest at a

- 41 -


rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR, Australian dollars, USD, or Sterling plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At June 30, 2007, the Tranche B facility loan had an amount outstanding of $6.0 million.

Tranche C is a USD 60 million term loan facility that may only be used for the purpose of the payment by ResMed Limited of a dividend to ResMed Holdings Limited, which will ultimately be paid to ResMed Inc. Tranche C bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR, Australian dollars or USD plus a margin of 0.70% or 0.80%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. Payments of principal must be made to reduce the total outstanding principal amount of Tranche C to USD 30 million on December 31, 2007 and the entire outstanding principal amount must be repaid in full by June 8, 2009. At June 30, 2007, the Tranche C facility loan had an amount outstanding of $40.1 million.

The loans under the Syndicated Facility Agreement are secured by a pledge of one hundred percent of the shares of ResMed Inc.’s subsidiary, Saime, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement. The Syndicated Facility Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Limited maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum debt service cover ratio, a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA and a minimum tangible net worth. The entire principal amount of the loan and any accrued but unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Syndicated Facility Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make payments when due, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, the occurrence of certain insolvency events, the occurrence of an event or change which could have a material adverse effect on ResMed Limited and its subsidiaries, and if ResMed Inc. ceases to control ResMed Limited, ResMed Corp., ResMed SAS, ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited, Take Air Medical Handels-GmbH or Saime. At June 30, 2007 we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Simultaneous with the Syndicated Facility Agreement, ResMed Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank Australia Limited for revolving, letter of credit and overdraft facilities up to a total commitment of 6.5 million Australian dollars for one year, and ResMed (UK) Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank plc for a revolving cash advance facility up to a total commitment of 3 million Sterling for one year. At June 30, 2007 there was an amount of $4.0 million outstanding under these working capital agreements.

 

We expect to satisfy all of our short-term liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and a $5.0our $75 million undrawn revolving line of credit with Union Bank of California. Beyond this, we are currently reviewing our funding needs and existing facilities to provide flexibility for future business needs and facilitate the refinancing of our convertible notes should they not convert to common stock before maturity on June 20, 2006.

During the year ended June 30, 2005, we did not repurchase any convertible subordinated notes. Our convertible subordinated notes are due to mature on June 20, 2006.

We may from time to time seek to retire our convertible subordinated notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements,California and our current or future contractual obligations, if any, that may directly or indirectly apply to such transactions.$9.0 million undrawn facilities with HSBC.

 

The results of our international operations are affected by changes in exchange rates between currencies. Changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our consolidated net revenue and gross profit margins from international operations. We are exposed to the risk that the dollar value equivalent of anticipated cash flows would be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We manage this risk through foreign currency option contracts.

 

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets

- 42 -


and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty obligations, goodwill, impaired assets, intangible assets, income taxes, deferred tax valuation allowances, contingencies and contingencies.stock-based compensation costs.

 

We state these accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements and at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. The estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

(1)    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments, which

- 35 -


results in bad debt expense. We determine the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual customer receivables, considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

(2)    Inventory Adjustments. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and are determined by the first-in, first-out method. We review the components of inventory on a regular basis for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory based on estimated future usage and sales. The likelihood of any material inventory write-downs is dependent on changes in competitive conditions, new product introductions by us or our competitors, or rapid changes in customer demand.

 

(3)    Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. We use assumptions in establishing the carrying value, fair value and estimated lives of our goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets. The criteria used for these evaluations include management’s estimate of the asset’s continuing ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods compared to the carrying value of the asset, as well as the strategic significance of any identifiable intangible asset in our business objectives. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Useful lives and related amortization or depreciation expense are based on our estimate of the period that the assets will generate revenues or otherwise be used by us. Factors that would influence the likelihood of a material change in our reported results include significant changes in the asset’s ability to generate positive cash flow, loss of legal ownership or title to the asset, a significant decline in the economic and competitive environment on which the asset depends, significant changes in our strategic business objectives, utilization of the asset, and a significant change in the economic and/or political conditions in certain countries.

 

(4)    Valuation of Deferred Income Taxes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The likelihood of a material change in our expected realization of these assets is dependent on future taxable income, our ability to deduct tax loss carryforwards against future taxable income, the effectiveness of our tax planning and strategies among the various tax jurisdictions that we operate in, and any significant changes in the tax treatment received on our business combinations.

 

(5)    Provision for Warranty. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The amount of this provision is determined by using a financial model, which takes into consideration actual, historical expenses and potential risks associated with our different products. This financial model is then used to calculate the future probable expenses related

- 43 -


to warranty and the required level of the warranty provision. Although we engage in product improvement programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and costs incurred to correct those product failures. Should actual product failure rates or estimated costs to repair those product failures differ from our estimates, revisions to our estimated warranty provision would be required.

 

(6)    Revenue Recognition. Revenue on product sales is recorded at the time of shipment, at which time title transfers to the customer. Revenue on product sales which require customer acceptance is not recorded until acceptance is received. Royalty revenue from license agreements is recorded when earned. Service revenue received in advance from service contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service contract. Revenue received in advance from rental unit contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue from sale of marketing and distribution rights is initially deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the life of the contract. Freight charges billed to customers are included in revenue. All freight-related expenses are charged to cost of sales.

 

We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products or similarly offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or activities. However, as part of our sales processes

- 36 -


we may provide upfront discounts for large orders, one time special pricing to support new product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price-breaks for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. In our domestic sales activities we use a number of Manufacturer Representativesrepresentatives to sell our products. These representatives are paid a direct commission on sales and act as an integral component of our domestic sales force. We do not sell our products to these representatives, and do not recognize revenue on such shipments. Our products are predominantly therapy-based equipment and require no installation. As such, we have no significant installation obligations.

 

(7)    Stock-Based Compensation. In accordance with SFAS No.123(R), we measure the compensation of all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant. Such value is recognized as compensation expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results differ from our estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the type of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results may differ substantially from these estimates.

(8)    Voluntary Product Recall Expenses. We recognized an accrual for the estimated cost of the voluntary product recall at the time the liability was probable and the related expenses could be reasonably estimated. The amount of this accrual was determined taking into consideration the future probable expenses directly related to the product recall including expected return rates for the affected units, unit replacement costs, legal, consulting, logistical and administrative expenses. Should actual product recall costs differ from our estimated costs or should we receive additional feedback from our ongoing discussions with regulatory bodies, revisions to our estimated product recall accrual may be required.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004,June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board,FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” and subsequently in May 2007 issued FSP FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FASB”FIN 48”), issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS 123. Generally,clarifies the approachaccounting for uncertainty in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to beincome taxes recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative. This statement also eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25. The statement, which was delayed, is effective at the beginning of the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. The accounting provision SFAS 123(R) is effective beginning in our interim period ending September 30, 2005.accordance with FASB

Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to adopt its requirements using onebe taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires recognition of two methods: (1) A “modified prospective” methodtax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees before the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date; or (2) A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods, of the year of adoption. We expect to adopt the modified prospective method.

As permitted by SFAS 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value methoddisclosure, and as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options, which are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. We are currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) however we expect the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have a significant impact on our results of operations.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”), issued SFAS 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29,’ Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions’.” The amendments are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal periodsus beginning after June 15, 2005, however earlier application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning afterJuly 1, 2007 and we are currently assessing the date of issuance. The provisions of this statement will be applied prospectively. We do not believepotential impact that the adoption of this Interpretation will have on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

During the year ended June 30, 2007 we adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year Misstatements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement will(rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.statements.

 

In November 2004,February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”),FASB issued SFAS 151, “Inventory Costs”, which soughtNo. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 gives us the irrevocable option to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costscarry many financial assets and spoilage.liabilities at fair values, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS 151 also requires that the allocation of fixed

Foreign Currency Market Risk

 

Our functionalreporting currency is the U.S. dollar, although the financial statements of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are maintained in their respective local currencies. We transact business in various foreign currencies, including a number of major European currencies as well as the Australian dollar. We have significant foreign currency exposure through both our Australian manufacturing activities and international sales operations.

 

We have established a foreign currency hedging program using purchased currency options to hedge foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and manufacturing expenditure.expenditures. The goal of this hedging program is to economically guarantee or lock-in the exchange rates on our foreign currency exposures denominated in Euro’s and the Australian dollar. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities, and firm commitments are partially offset by gains and losses on the hedging instruments. We have determined our hedge program to be a non-effective hedge as defined under SFAS No. 133. The foreign currency derivatives portfolio is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and included in other assets or other liabilities. All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives are recorded within other income, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to risk associated with changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents and debt. At June 30, 20052007 we had total long-term debt, including the current portion of those obligations, of $174.4$116.0 million. OfAll of this debt $113.9 million is at fixed interest rates and $60.5 million is subject to variable interest rates.

A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during the twelve monthsyear ended June 30, 2005,2007, would not have a material impact on pretax income. We have no interest rate hedging agreements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report on Form 10-K contains or may contain certain forward-looking statements and information that are based on our management’s beliefs, as well as on estimates and assumptions made by, and information currently available to our management. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “future” and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements regarding the development and approval of new products and product applications, market expansion, pending litigation and the development of new markets for our products, such as the cardiovascular and stroke markets. These forward-looking statements are made under the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect the views of our management at the time the statements are made and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions, including, without limitation, and in addition to those identified in the text surrounding such statements, those identified under the caption “Risk Factors” below and elsewhere in this report. In addition, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include changes or developments in social, economic, market, legal or regulatory circumstances, changes in our business or growth strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to changes in our industry or the economy generally, the emergence of

- 40 -


new or growing competitors, the actions or omissions of third parties, including suppliers, customers, competitors and governmental authorities, and various other factors. Should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or the underlying estimates or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from those expressed in such forward-looking statements, and there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this report will in fact occur.

Risk Factors

The risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition or results of operations include the following:

Our inability to compete successfully in our markets may harm our business.    The markets for our sleep-disordered breathing products are highly competitive and are characterized by frequent product improvements and evolving technology. Our ability to compete successfully depends, in part, on our ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative new products. The development of innovative new products by our competitors or the discovery of alternative treatments or potential cures for the conditions that our products treat could make our products noncompetitive or obsolete.

Additionally, some of our competitors have greater financial, research and development, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. The past several years have seen a trend towards consolidation in the health care industry and in the markets for our products. Industry consolidation could result in greater competition if our competitors combine their resources or if our competitors are acquired by other companies with greater resources than ours. This competition could increase pressure on us to reduce the selling prices of our products or could cause us to increase our spending on research and development and sales and marketing. If we are unable to develop innovative new products, maintain competitive pricing, and offer products that consumers perceive to be as reliable as those of our competitors, our sales or gross margins could decrease which would harm our business.

Our business depends on our ability to market effectively to dealers of home health care products and sleep clinics.    We market our products primarily to home health care dealers and to sleep clinics that diagnose obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. We believe that home health care dealers and sleep clinics play a significant role in determining which brand of product a patient will use. The success of our business depends on our ability to market effectively to home health care dealers and sleep clinics to ensure that our products are properly marketed and sold by these third parties.

We have limited resources to market to approximately 3,000 U.S. sleep clinics and the more than 6,000 home health care dealer branch locations, most of which use, sell or recommend several brands of products. In addition, home health care dealers have experienced price pressures as government and third-party reimbursement have declined for home care products, and home health care dealers are requiring price discounts and longer periods of time to pay for products purchased from us. We cannot assure you that sleep clinic physicians will continue to prescribe our products, or that home health care dealers or patients will not substitute competing products when a prescription specifying our products has been written.

We have expanded our marketing activities to target the population with a predisposition to sleep- disordered breathing as well as primary care physicians and various medical specialists. We cannot assure you that these marketing efforts will be successful in increasing awareness or sales of our products.

Any inability to effectively market our products outside the U.S. could impact our profitability.    Approximately half our revenues are generated outside the U.S., in approximately 60 different countries. Many of these countries have unique regulatory, medical, and business environments. If we are unable to effectively market our products outside the U.S., our overall financial performance could decline.

- 41 -


If we are unable to support our continued growth, our business could suffer.    We have experienced rapid and substantial growth. As we continue to grow, the complexity of our operations increases, placing greater demands on our management. Our ability to manage our growth effectively depends on our ability to implement and improve our financial and management information systems on a timely basis and to effect other changes in our business. Unexpected difficulties during expansion, the failure to attract and retain qualified employees, the failure to successfully replace or upgrade our management information systems, the failure to manage costs or our inability to respond effectively to growth or plan for future expansion could cause our growth to stop. If we fail to manage our growth, our business could suffer.

If we fail to integrate our recent acquisitions with our operations, our business could suffer.     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 we acquired Saime SA, Hoefner and Resprecare. We are currently in the process of integrating our operations with these recent acquisitions. The integration will require significant efforts from each company. We may find it difficult to integrate the operations as personnel may leave, licensees, distributors or suppliers may terminate their arrangements, or demand amended terms to these arrangements. Additionally, our management may have their attention diverted while trying to integrate these companies. This diversion or these difficulties in integration could have an adverse impact on us. If we are not able to successfully integrate the operations, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions

If we fail to properly implement restructure plans, our business could suffer.    We recently merged the operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit as part of our German restructure plan. We have relocated our ResMed Germany operations to Munich, and are integrating the back office functions, including customer service, logistics and administration. We will continue to monitor the progress of this restructure and adjust our business strategies and personnel accordingly to achieve maximum efficiencies, cost savings and success. If we are not able to successfully integrate the operations we may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of the restructure.

Changes in assumptions used in the purchase accounting of our recent acquisitions may impact our future operating results.    The acquisitions have been accounted for using purchase accounting and accordingly have been included in the company’s operations since the date of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price according to the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed, intangible assets and in process research and development as at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of acquired net assets is recorded as goodwill. We utilize independent appraisals with our own internal studies and management assumptions to estimate the fair values. If our estimates change due to inaccurate assumptions or other circumstances our future financial results maybe impacted. This may result in goodwill becoming impaired and changes to the amount of amortization charges of certain identifiable intangible assets.

We manufacture substantially all of our products outside the U.S. and sell a significant portion of our products in non-U.S. markets, subjecting us to various risks relating to international activities that could adversely affect our overall profitability.    Sales outside North and Latin America accounted for approximately 49%, 51%, and 52% of our net revenues in fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We expect that sales within these areas will account for approximately 50% of our net revenues in the foreseeable future. Our sales outside of North America and our operations in Europe, Australia and Asia are subject to several difficulties and risks that are separate and distinct from those we face in our U.S. operations, including:

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

tariffs and other trade barriers;

- 42 -


compliance with foreign medical device manufacturing regulations;

reduction in third party payer reimbursement for our products;

inability to obtain import licenses;

changes in trade policies and in U.S. and foreign tax policies;

possible changes in export or import restrictions; and

the modification or introduction of other governmental policies with potentially adverse effects.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in our reported sales and earnings.    Since our international sales and a significant portion of our manufacturing costs are denominated in local currencies and not in U.S. dollars, our reported sales and earnings are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We had foreign currency transaction losses in recent periods and may have further losses in the future. We expect that international sales will continue to be a significant portion of our business and that a significant portion of our manufacturing costs will continue to be denominated in Australian dollars.

Government and private insurance plans may not reimburse patients for our products, which could result in reductions in sales or selling prices for our products.    Our ability to sell our products depends in large part on the extent to which reimbursement for the cost of our products will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. These third party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. Therefore, even if a product is approved for marketing, we cannot assure you that reimbursement will be allowed for the product, that the reimbursement amount will be adequate or, that the reimbursement amount even if initially adequate, will not subsequently be reduced. For example, in some markets, such as Spain, France and Germany, government reimbursement is currently available for purchase or rental of our products but is subject to constraints such as price controls or unit sales limitations. In other markets, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, there is currently limited or no reimbursement for devices that treat sleep-disordered breathing conditions. Additionally, future legislation or regulation concerning the health care industry or third party or governmental coverage and reimbursement, particularly legislation or regulation limiting consumers’ reimbursement rights, may harm our business.

As we continue to develop new products, those products will generally not qualify for reimbursement, if at all, until they are approved for marketing. In the United States, we sell our products primarily to home health care dealers and to sleep clinics. We do not file claims and bill governmental programs and other third party payers directly for reimbursement for our products. However, we are still subject to laws and regulations relating to governmental reimbursement programs, particularly Medicaid and Medicare.

In particular, the federal Anti-Kickback Law prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, recommending or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal health care program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The government has interpreted this law broadly to apply to the marketing and sales activities of manufacturers and distributors like us. Many states and other governments have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Law. We are also subject to other federal and state fraud laws applicable to payment from any third party payer. These laws prohibit persons from knowingly and willfully filing false claims or executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program, including private third party payers. These laws may apply to manufacturers and distributors who provide information on coverage, coding, and reimbursement of their products to persons who do bill third party payers. Any violation of these laws and regulations could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines.

- 43 -


In addition to reimbursement for our products, our customers depend in part on reimbursement by government and private health insurers for other products. During fiscal year 2004, the US Government proposed reductions in reimbursement rates for some of these other products. Such proposed reductions, if they occur, may have a material impact on our customers. Any material impact on our customers may indirectly affect our sales to those customers, or the collectibility of receivables we have from those customers.

Complying with Food and Drug Administration and other regulations is an expensive and time-consuming process, and any failure to comply could result in substantial penalties.    We are subject to various federal, state, local and international regulations regarding our business activities. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, recalls of our products, substantial fines and criminal charges against us or against our employees. A recall or other regulatory action could increase our costs, damage our reputation, and materially affect operating results.

Product sales, introductions or modifications may be delayed or canceled as a result of the FDA or similar foreign regulations, which could cause our sales and profits to decline.    Before we can market or sell a new medical device in the United States, we must obtain FDA clearance, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process. We generally receive clearance from the FDA to market our products in the United States under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or our products are exempt from the 510(k) clearance process. We have modified some of our 510(k) approved products without submitting new 510(k) notices, which we do not believe were required. However, if the FDA disagrees with us and requires us to submit new 510(k) notifications for modifications to our existing products, we may be required to stop marketing the products while the FDA reviews the 510(k) notification.

Any new product introduction or existing product modification could be subjected to a lengthier, more rigorous FDA examination process. For example, in certain cases we may need to conduct clinical trials of a new product before submitting a 510(k) notice. Additionally, we may be required to obtain premarket approvals for our products. The requirements of these more rigorous processes could delay product introductions and increase the costs associated with FDA compliance. Marketing and sale of our products outside the United States are also subject to regulatory clearances and approvals, and if we fail to obtain these regulatory approvals, our sales could suffer.

We cannot assure you that any new products we develop will receive required regulatory approvals from U.S. or foreign regulatory agencies.

Off-label marketing of our products could result in substantial penalties.    Clearance under Section 510(k) only permits us to market our products for the uses indicated on the labeling cleared by the FDA. We may request additional label indications for our current products, and the FDA may deny those requests outright, require additional expensive clinical data to support any additional indications or impose limitations on the intended use of any cleared products as a condition of clearance. If the FDA determines that we have marketed our products for off-label use, we could be subject to fines, injunctions or other penalties.

Disruptions in the supply of components from our single source suppliers could result in a significant reduction in sales and profitability.    We purchase uniquely configured components for our devices from various suppliers, including some who are single-source suppliers for us. We cannot assure you that a replacement supplier would be able to configure its components for our devices on a timely basis or, in the alternative, that we would be able to reconfigure our devices to integrate the replacement part.

- 44 -


A reduction or halt in supply while a replacement supplier reconfigures its components, or while we reconfigure our devices for the replacement part, would limit our ability to manufacture our devices, which could result in a significant reduction in sales and profitability. We cannot assure you that our inventories would be adequate to meet our production needs during any prolonged interruption of supply.

Our intellectual property may not protect our products, and our products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.    We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets and non-disclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain and maintain United States and foreign patent protection for our products, their uses and our processes to preserve our trade secrets and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. We have a number of pending patent applications, and we do not know whether any patents will issue from any of these applications. We do not know whether any of the claims in our issued patents or pending applications will provide us with any significant protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially valuable. Legal standards regarding the validity of patents and the proper scope of their claims are still evolving, and there is no consistent law or policy regarding the valid breadth of claims. Additionally, there may be third party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products and technology which are not known to us and that block or compete with our products.

We face the risks that:

third parties will infringe our intellectual property rights;

our non-disclosure agreements will be breached;

we will not have adequate remedies for infringement;

our trade secrets will become known to or independently developed by our competitors; or

third parties will be issued patents that may prevent the sale of our products or require us to license and pay fees or royalties in order for us to be able to market some of our products.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents issued to us, to protect our proprietary rights, or to defend third party claims that we have infringed upon proprietary rights of others. The defense and prosecution of patent claims, including these pending claims, as well as participation in other inter-party proceedings, can be expensive and time consuming, even in those instances in which the outcome is favorable to us. If the outcome of any litigation or proceeding brought against us were adverse, we could be subject to significant liabilities to third parties, could be required to obtain licenses from third parties or could be required to cease sales of the affected products. Additionally, the laws regarding the enforceability of patents vary from country to country, and we cannot assure you that any patent issues we face will be uniformly resolved, or that local laws will provide us with consistent rights and benefits.

We are subject to potential product liability claims that may exceed the scope and amount of our insurance coverage, which would expose us to liability for uninsured claims.    We are subject to potential product liability claims as a result of the design, manufacture and marketing of medical devices. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in the increase of our product liability insurance rates. In addition, we would have to pay any amount awarded by a court in excess of our policy limits. Our insurance policies have various exclusions, and thus we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no insurance coverage, in which case, we may have to pay the entire amount of any award. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate or that all claims brought against us will be covered by our insurance. Insurance varies in cost and can be difficult to obtain, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain insurance in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all. A successful product liability

- 45 -


claim brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, if any, may require us to pay substantial amounts, which could harm our business.

We are subject to tax audits by various tax authorities in many jurisdictions.    From time to time we may be audited by the tax authorities and are still subject to an ongoing German tax audit. Any final assessment resulting from this audit could result in material changes to our past or future taxable income, tax payable or deferred tax assets, and could require us to pay penalties and interest that could materially adversely affect our financial results.

Our quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuation for a variety of reasons.    Our operating results have, from time to time, fluctuated on a quarterly basis and may be subject to similar fluctuations in the future. These fluctuations may result from a number of factors, including:

the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;

the geographic mix of product sales;

the success of our marketing efforts in new regions;

changes in third party reimbursement;

timing of regulatory clearances and approvals;

timing of orders by distributors;

expenditures incurred for research and development;

competitive pricing in different regions;

seasonality;

the cost and effect of promotional and marketing programs;

the effect of foreign currency transaction gains or losses; and

other activities of our competitors.

If a natural or man-made disaster strikes our manufacturing facilities, we will be unable to manufacture our products for a substantial amount of time and our sales and profitability will decline.    Our facilities and the manufacturing equipment we use to produce our products would be costly to replace and could require substantial lead-time to repair or replace. The facilities may be affected by natural or man-made disasters and in the event it was affected by a disaster, we would be forced to rely on third party manufacturers. Although we believe we possess adequate insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of our business from casualties, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Delaware law, provisions in our charter and our shareholder rights plan could make it difficult for another company to acquire us.    Provisions of our certificate of incorporation may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management which might be beneficial to us or our security holders. In particular, our board of directors is divided into three classes, serving for staggered three-year terms. Because of this classification it will require at least two annual meetings to elect directors constituting a majority of our board of directors.

Additionally, our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without further vote or action by the stockholders. Under our stockholder rights plan, we have also issued purchase rights to the holders of our common stock that entitle those holders to purchase our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a discount, under certain circumstances. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be

- 46 -


adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

You may not be able to enforce the judgments of U.S. courts against some of our assets or officers and directors.    A substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. Additionally, two of our eight directors and two of our six executive officers reside outside the United States, along with all or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments of U.S. courts relating to any liabilities under U.S. securities laws against our assets, those persons or their assets. In addition, we have been advised by our Australian counsel that some doubt exists as to the ability of investors to pursue claims based on U.S. securities laws against these assets or these persons in Australian courts.

ITEM 9ACONTROLS AANDND PROCEDURES

 

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

 

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005.2007. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

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

MANAGEMENTS REPORTON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 (i)Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

 (ii)Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

 (iii)Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

- 48 -


Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005.2007. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of ResMed Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

 

Based on our assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that the Company did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005.2007.

 

KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, who audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements of ResMed, Inc. included in this report, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

Scope of Management’s Report

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excludes the evaluation of the internal controls over financial reporting of Saime, Hoefner and Resprecare, which were acquired purchase business combinations on May 19, 2005, February 8, 2005 and December 14, 2004, respectively. Purchase combinations excluded from fiscal 2005 scope represents approximately 20% of the total assets and approximately 3% of the net sales, respectively, of our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and the year ended June 30, 2005.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that ResMed Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005,2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). ResMed Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

ResMed Inc:Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ResMed Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005,2007 and 2004,2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2005.2007. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

RESMED INC.AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

ResMed Inc (theInc. (referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Delaware Corporationcorporation formed in March 1994 as a holding company for the ResMed Group. Through our subsidiaries, we design, manufacture and market devicesequipment for the evaluationdiagnosis and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing primarilyand other respiratory disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea. Our manufacturing operations are located in Australia, Germany, France and the United States of America. Major distribution and sales sites are located in the United States of America, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia and Sweden.

All share and per share information in the notes has been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend that was declared on August 10, 2005 and distributed on September 30, 2005.

 

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 (a)Basis of Consolidation

 

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

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

 

 (b)Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue on product sales is generally recorded upon shipment, at which time title transfers to the customer. Revenue on product sales which require customer acceptance is not recorded until acceptance is received. Royalty revenue from license agreements is recorded when earned. Service revenue received in advance from service contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service contract. Revenue received in advance from rental unit contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue from sale of marketing or distribution rights is initially deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the life of the contract. Freight charges billed to customers are included in revenue. All freight-relatedshipping and handling related expenses are charged to cost of sales.

 

We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products, other than returns for product defects or other warranty claims, nor do we recognize revenues if we offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or activities. However, as part of our sales processes we may provide upfront discounts for large orders, one time special pricing to support new product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price-breaks for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. In our U.S. sales activities we use a number of manufacturer representatives to sell our products. These representatives are paid a direct commission on sales and act as an integral component of our U.S. sales force. We do not sell our products to these representatives and do not recognize revenue on such shipments. Our products are predominantly therapy-based equipment and require no installation. As such, we have no significant installation obligations.

 (c)Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid investments and are stated at cost, which approximates market. Investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are considered to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

 (d)Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. We review and provide for any product obsolescence in our manufacturing and distribution operations with assessments of individual products and components (based on estimated future usage and sales) being performed throughout the year.

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

 (e)Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment, including rental equipment, is recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight–line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two to ten years except for buildings which are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Straight–line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

We capitalize interest in connection with the construction of facilities. Actual construction costs incurred relating to facilities under active development qualify for interest capitalization. Interest capitalization ceases when the construction of a facility is complete and available for use. During the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we capitalized $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of interest relating to such construction costs.

 

 (f)Intangible Assets

 

The registration costs for new patents are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent, generally five years. In the event of a patent being superseded, the unamortized costs are written off immediately.

 

Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to nine years. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No impairment of intangible assets havehas been identified during any of the periods presented.

 

 (g)Goodwill

 

We conducted our annual review for goodwill impairment as at June 30, 2005.during the final quarter of fiscal 2007. In conducting our review of goodwill impairment, we identified reporting units, being components of our operating segment, as each of the entities acquired and giving rise to the goodwill. The fair value for each reporting unit was determined based on estimated discounted cash flows. Our goodwill impairment review involved a two-step process as follows:

 

   Step 1-  Compare the fair value for each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, move on to step 2. If a reporting unit’s fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.

 

F7


RESMED INC.AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

   Step 2-  Allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This will derive an implied fair value for the goodwill. Then, compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.

 

The results of the review indicated that no impaired goodwill exists.

 

 (h)Foreign Currency

 

The consolidated financial statements of our non-U.S.non–U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are other than U.S. dollars, are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S.non–U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar are translated at period end exchange rates, and revenue and expense transactions are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are recognized as part of comprehensive income, as describeddetailed in Note 6, and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheetsheets until such time as the subsidiary is sold or substantially or completely liquidated. Gains and losses on transactions denominated in other than the functional currency of the entity are reflected in operations.

 (i)Research and Development

 

ResearchAll research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.

 

 (j)Earnings Perper Share

 

We calculate earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”), as amended by SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 128 requires the presentation of “basic” earnings per share and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholdersstockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, net income is adjusted for the after-tax amount of interest associated with convertible debt, and the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and convertible notes.

 

The weighted average shares used to calculate basic earnings per share were 34,322,000, 33,694,000,76,709,000, 72,307,000 and 33,054,00068,643,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005, 20042007, 2006 and 2003,2005, respectively. The difference between basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is attributable to the impact of outstanding stock options during the periods presented and the assumed conversion of our convertible notes. Stock options had the effect of increasing the number of shares used in the calculation (by application of the treasury stock method) by 1,280,000, 1,431,0001,544,000, 2,346,000 and 1,385,0002,561,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005, 20042007, 2006 and 2003,2005, respectively. The assumed conversion of our convertible notes had the effect of increasing the number of shares used in the calculation by 1,869,000, NILNil, 2,509,000 and NIL3,738,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 (k)Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities available-for-sale, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes, which are included within long-term debt, at June 30, 2005 approximates $129.2 million compared with the carrying value of $113.3 million. Foreign currency option contracts are marked to market and therefore reflect their fair value. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

 (l)Foreign Exchange Risk Management

 

We enter into various types of foreign exchange contracts in managing our foreign exchange risk, including derivative financial instruments encompassing forward exchange contracts and foreign currency options.

RESMED INC.AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

 

The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to protect us from adverse exchange rate fluctuations with respect to net cash movements resulting from the sales of products to foreign customers and Australian manufacturing activities. We enter into foreign currency option contracts to hedge anticipated sales and manufacturing costs, principally denominated in Australian dollars and Euros. The terms of such foreign currency option contracts generally do not exceed three years.

 

Our foreign currency derivatives portfolio represents a cash flow hedge program against the net cash flow of our international manufacturing operations. We have determined our hedge program to be a non-effective hedge as defined under SFAS 133. The foreign currency derivatives portfolio is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and included in other assets or other liabilities.

 

All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives are recorded within other income, net onin our consolidated statements of income.

 

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counter parties to financial instruments. The credit exposure of foreign exchange options at June 30, 20052007 and June 30, 20042006 was $3.0$3.8 million and $2.0$1.2 million, respectively, which represents the positive fair value of options held by us.

 

We held foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts totaling $145.5$139.3 million and $140.6$193.4 million at June 30, 20052007 and 2004,2006, respectively, to hedge foreign currency items. These contracts mature at various dates before July 2007.December 2008.

 

 (m)Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 (n)Marketable Securities

 

Management determines the appropriate classification of our investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which we do not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

At June 30, 20052007 and 2004,2006, the investments in debt securities were classified on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as marketable securities-available-for-sale. These investments are diversified among high credit quality securities in accordance with our investment policy.

 (p)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including certain identifiable intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceedexceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

 (q)Cost-Method Investments

 

The aggregate carrying amount of our cost-method investments at June 30, 20052007 and June 30, 20042006 was $5.3$4.6 million and $5.3$4.1 million, respectively. At June 30 2005 we reviewedWe review the carrying value of these investments.investments at each balance sheet date. In fiscal 20052007 and 2004,2006, we recognized $0.1$Nil and $1.2 million, and $Nil respectively, of impairment losses related to our cost methodcost-method investments, which include investments in privately held service companies, research companies and publicly tradedpublic companies. After recognitionThe expense associated with this impairment has been included in the other income (expense) line within the consolidated statements of income.

At June 30, 2007, we performed an analysis of the carrying value of these investments and an unrealized loss of $1.7 million was identified in relation to an investment in a publicly listed company. The severity of the impairment (fair value is approximately 49% less than the cost) and the duration of the impairment (less than 18 months) correlate with a devaluation in the actual share price. As the investee is a publicly listed entity its share price will fluctuate with general market movements, however because we have no intention to sell this investment, and as the investee is involved in the growing sleep-disordered breathing industry we do not consider this investment to be other-than-temporary impaired at June 30, 2007. Except for this unrealized loss, we have determined that the fair valuevalues of theour other investments exceeded thetheir carrying values and no unrealized losses existed.values.

 (r)Stock-based Employee Compensation

 

We have granted stock options to personnel, including officers and directors, under both our 1995 Option Plan and(the “1995 Plan”), our 1997 Equity Participation Plan.Plan (the “1997 Plan”) and our 2006 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan” and together with the 1995 Plan and the 1997 Plan, the “Plans”). These options have expiration dates of seven or ten years from the date of grant and vest over three or four years. We granted these options with the exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant.

We apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for our equity plans and as all stock options are issued at market price on the date of issue, no compensation cost has been recognized for the grant of stock options. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

Results for periods before July 1, 2005, have not been restated to reflect, and do not include the impact of SFAS No. 123(R) as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant (or within permitted discounted prices as it pertains to the ESPP). The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2005, if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) for stock option grants using the fair value based method of accounting:

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

 

As of July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No.123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation expense of all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS No.123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of SFAS No.123 shall be recognized in net income in the periods after adoption. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, using the graded-attribution method for stock-based awards granted prior to July 1, 2005 and the straight-line method for stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005. The fair value of stock options granted under our stock option plans and purchase rights granted under our ESPP is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

(3)New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004,June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board,FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” and subsequently in May 2007 issued FSP FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FASB”FIN 48”), issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS 123. Generally,clarifies the approachaccounting for uncertainty in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to beincome taxes recognized in the incomefinancial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement basedrecognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires recognition of tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold and also provides guidance on their fair values. Pro formade-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, will no longer be an alternative. This statement also eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25. The statement, which was delayed,and transition. FIN 48 is effective at thefor us beginning of the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. The accounting provision SFAS 123(R) is effective beginning in our interim period ending September 30, 2005.

SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (1) A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective dateJuly 1, 2007 and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees before the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date; or (2) A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. We expect to adopt the modified prospective method.

As permitted by SFAS 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options, which are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. We are currently reviewingassessing the potential impact ofthat the adoption of SFAS 123(R) however we expect the adoption of SFAS 123(R)this Interpretation will have a significant impact on our results of operations.financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB 157 is effective for financial

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”),statements issued SFAS 153, “ Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, ’Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions’.” The amendments are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 is effective for fiscal periodsyears beginning after JuneNovember 15, 2005, however earlier application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in2007, and interim periods within those fiscal periods beginning afteryears. We are currently assessing the date of issuance. The provisions of this statement will be applied prospectively. We do not believepotential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

During the year ended June 30, 2007 we adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year Misstatements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement will(rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.statements.

 

In November 2004,February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”),FASB issued SFAS 151, “Inventory Costs”, which soughtNo. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 gives us the irrevocable option to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costscarry many financial assets and spoilage.liabilities at fair values, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS 151 also requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal operating capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151No. 159 is effective for fiscal yearsus beginning after June 15, 2005.July 1, 2008, although early adoption is permitted. We do not believeare currently assessing the potential impact, if any, should we elect the fair value option, that adoption of this statementSFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.statements.

Intangible assets consist of patents, customer relationships, trade names and developed/core product technology and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets, generally between five and nine years. There are no expected residual values related to these intangible assets.

 

In fiscal year 2005, as part of the acquisition of Saime, we recognized an intangible asset with respect to developed/core product technology. Specifically, this technology related to the design and architecture of the hardware and algorithms that formed part of Saime’s ventilation products and is the subject of patents and other intellectual property protections. This technology is separable from goodwill as it is capable of being sold, transferred or licensed. This represents proprietary know-how predominantly associated with the following portfolio of products that were technologically feasible at the date of acquisition:

(i)Elisee Series: Combines all conventional ventilation modes and monitoring functions; and

(iii)VS Series (including Serena, Ultra and Integra): A new generation of ventilators using new blower technology.

Both of these series of products continue to generate revenue which is consistent with the original expectations. Although no assurance can be given that the underlying assumptions used to value the acquired developed/core product technology will transpire as estimated, we remain confident in the assumptions used and, as a result, the net return of the Saime acquisition.

Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets, including patents, for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $2.7$9.7 million. Estimated annual amortization expense for the years ending June 30, 20062008 through June 30, 2010,2012, including the effect of the Resprecare, Hoefner, Saime, Pulmomed and SaimePolarMed acquisitions is shown below (in thousands):

indefinitely. The Company also had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $10,416,000. The foreign tax credit carryforwards have expiration dates through 2017.

The valuation allowance at June 30, 2005,2007, relates primarily to a provision for uncertainty as to the utilization of foreign tax credits of $8,422,000 and$10,416,000, net operating loss carryforwards of $482,000 for certain non-US countries.non-U.S. countries of $1,671,000, capital loss items of $490,000 and other deferred tax assets of $34,000. We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefits of deferred tax assets, net of any valuation allowance, will be realized.

 

The Company has not provided for U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries indefinitely invested outside the United States as of certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries.June 30, 2007. The total amount of these undistributed earnings at June 30, 20052007 amounted to approximately $251,030,000.$379 million. Should the Company repatriate foreign earnings, the Company would have to adjust the income tax provision in the period management determined that the Company would repatriate earnings. Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 enacted on October 22, 2004, a one-time favorable foreign dividend provision would be available to the Company for certain earnings repatriated during its fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. The Company may decide to repatriate earnings under this provision and will complete an evaluation of this opportunity before June 30, 2006. The effects of any decision cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The following unaudited pro-forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and Resprecare, Hoefner and Saime as if the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The pro-forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the Company and Resprecare, Hoefner and Saime constituted a single entity during such years.

The pro-forma net income for the year ended June 30, 2005 excludes the non-recurring acquisition charge of $5,268,000 for purchased in-process research and development.

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2004

On July 2, 2003 we acquired the assets of Respro Medical Company Limited (“Respro”), our Hong Kong distributor for total consideration of $184,000 in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for using purchase accounting and accordingly, the results of operations of Respro has been included within our consolidated financial statements from July 2, 2003. An amount of $89,000, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired of $95,000, has been recorded as goodwill.

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2003

On July 24, 2002 we acquired the business of John Stark and Associates, our Texas representative, for total consideration of $0.3 million in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for using purchase accounting and accordingly, the results of operations of John Stark and Associates has been included within the Company’s consolidated financial statements from July 24, 2002. An amount of $0.3 million representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired of $nil, has been recorded as goodwill.

 

(19)Legal Actions and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, we are subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. While the results of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

(19)Legal Actions and Contingencies, Continued

During September and October 2004, the Company receivedbegan receiving tax assessment notices for the audit of one of its German subsidiaries by the German tax authorities for the years 1996 through 1998. Certain of these adjustments are being contested and appealed to the German tax authority office. We believe no

additional provision is necessary for any tax adjustment that may result from the tax audit. However, the outcome of the audit cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any tax audit issues be resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period of resolution.

 

On December 23, 2002, three former contractors of our subsidiary MAP Medizin-Technologie GmbH initiated proceedings in Munich 1 Regional Court (Proceedings No. 7 O 23286/02), petitioning the Court for a declaration of inventorship with respect to MAP German Patent Applications identified as No. 100 31 079 and 101 92 802.5 and European Patent Application No. EP 01 967 819.7. On March 10, 2005, the Court entered judgmentjudgement in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that they should be identified as co-inventors in place of certain individual defendants. In April 2005, MAP filed an appeal of that decision. We do not expect the outcome of this litigation to have an adverse material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2006, an Australian university made a demand that ResMed pay extra royalties pursuant to a current patent license agreement. ResMed rejected the demand and have informed the university that it does not consider the claim to have merit. On 13 February 2007, the university commenced legal action in the Federal Court of Australia to pursue its claim against ResMed. ResMed is vigorously defending its position and does not expect the outcome of this claim to have an adverse material effect on ResMed’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

(20)In-Process Research and Development Charge (“IPR&D”)Voluntary Product Recall Expenses

 

On acquisitionApril 23, 2007, we initiated a worldwide voluntary recall of Saimeapproximately 300,000 units of our early production S8 flow generators used for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. In S8 devices manufactured between July 2004 and May 15, 2006, there is a remote potential for a short circuit in May 2005, wethe power supply connector. We are working with our distribution partners globally to provide a replacement device to patients who have an affected S8 flow generator.

The estimated cost of this action is $59.7 million which has been recognized as an expense a charge to cost of $5.3sales in the consolidated statement of income. As of June 30, 2007 we have a remaining liability of $45.1 million with respect to IPR&D programs under active development by Saime that, at datewhich is accrued in the consolidated balance sheet. These direct and incremental costs represent our best estimate of acquisition, had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The estimated fair value assigned to IPR&D wasprobable costs based on an independent appraisalcurrent available data and was comprisedtake into account factors such as expected return rates for the affected units, unit replacement costs, legal, consulting, logistical and temporary contractor expenses directly associated with the recall. Accordingly, should actual product recall costs differ from our estimated costs, material revisions to our estimated product recall accrual may be required.

Following is a summary of the following projectsliabilities related to the voluntary product recall that were recorded during the year ended June 30, 2007 (in thousands):

 

Project  Value of IPR&D

Upgrade of the Elisee Series of ventilators

  $1,379

Next generation of portable ventilators

   3,889

Total

  $5,268

The value of IPR&D was calculated by identifying research projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established, estimating the costs to develop the purchased in process technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such products, discounting the net cash flows to present value, and applying the reduced percentage completion of the projects thereto. The discount rate used in the analysis was 25%, which was based on the risk profile of the acquired assets.

As of the date of acquisition, these projects have estimated costs to complete totaling approximately $1.1 million. The projects were in various stages of development but are expected to reach completion at various dates ranging from 1 to 3 years.

We believe that the assumptions used to value the acquired intangible assets were reasonable at the time of acquisition. No assurance can be given, however, that the underlying assumptions used to estimate expected project revenues, development costs or profitability, or events associated with such projects, will transpire as estimated. For these reasons, among others, actual results may vary from the projected results.

(21)Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2005 we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Pulmomed Medizinisch-technische Geräte GmbH (“Pulmomed), for cash consideration of $1.5 million. Under the purchase agreement we may also be

required to make additional future payments of up to $0.9 million based on the achievement of certain performance milestones following the acquisition through July 15, 2007. Pulmomed is an Austrian based company that distributes medical equipment and associated services for the treatment of sleep and respiratory patients.

On July 7, 2005, we purchased a 9.78-acre parcel of land in San Diego for $21.0 million. The new location at Kearney Mesa, San Diego will allow us to develop our new corporate headquarters. We expect to commence building during calendar year 2006 and begin moving into the facility in calendar 2007.

On August 10, 2005 we announced that our Board of Directors has approved a two-for-one split of its common stock, payable in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend. Shareholders of record will receive one additional share of common stock for every share held on September 15, 2005.
