HEALTHTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2006 (Unaudited) |
1.General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the financial position as of June 30, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise noted herein. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. |
The notes to consolidated financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no significant changes in the information reported in those notes other than from normal business activities and as discussed herein. |
On November 10, 2004, Prime Medical Services, Inc. (“Prime”) completed a merger with HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. (“HSS”) pursuant to which Prime merged with and into HSS, with HealthTronics, Inc. (“HealthTronics”) as the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the merger agreement, as a result of the merger, Prime’s stockholders received one share of HealthTronics common stock for each share of Prime common stock they owned. Immediately following the merger, Prime’s stockholders owned approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of HealthTronics common stock, and Prime’s directors and senior management represented a majority of the combined company’s directors and senior management. As a result, Prime was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consideration paid (purchase price) was allocated to the tangible and intangible net assets of HSS based on their fair values, and the net assets of HSS were recorded at their fair values as of the completion of the merger and added to those of Prime. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were deemed to be those of HealthTronics because HealthTronics was the surviving legal entity. |
On June 22, 2006, HealthTronics and AK Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Truck Corporation (“Oshkosh”), entered into an Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Oshkosh agreed to acquire our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment for $140 million in cash. We completed this sale on July 31, 2006. Accordingly, we have classified our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. |
2.Debt
In March 2005, we refinanced our then existing revolving credit facility with a $175 million senior credit facility comprised of a five year $50 million revolver and a $125 million senior secured term loan B (“term loan B”), due 2011. In April 2005, we used the proceeds from the new term loan B to redeem our $100 million of 8.75% unsecured senior subordinated notes and reduce the amounts outstanding under our new revolving credit facility. We paid approximately $1.2 million in loan fees in March 2005 related to this refinancing and paid a $1.5 million premium to redeem the 8.75% notes in April 2005. |
HEALTHTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2006 (Unaudited) |
This new loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR + 1.25 to 2.25% or prime + .25 to 1.25% (7.125% at June 30, 2006). We are required to make quarterly principal payments in connection with the term loan B of $312,500 until February 2010, when quarterly payments will increase to $29.7 million. We may also be required to make an annual repayment of the term loan B of either 25% or 50% of Excess Cash Flow as defined in our credit facility depending on the level of the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated according to the terms of our credit facility. At June 30, 2006, there were no amounts drawn on the revolver. Our senior credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur debt, create liens, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, make restricted payments, enter into transactions with affiliates, and make acquisitions. In addition, our facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. Our assets and the stock of our subsidiaries collateralize the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with the covenants under our senior credit facility as of June 30, 2006. |
On July 31, 2006, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment to repay the term loan B in full. |
3.Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on weighted average shares outstanding without any dilutive effects considered. Diluted EPS reflects dilution from all contingently issuable shares, including options and warrants. A reconciliation of such EPS data is as follows: |

We did not include in our computation of diluted EPS unexercised stock options and warrants to purchase 1,015,000 and 8,000 shares of our common stock as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because the effect would be antidilutive. In May 2005, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan to increase by 450,000 shares the number of shares available for issuance thereunder (from 500,000 to 950,000 shares). In June 2006, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan to increase by 2 million shares the number of shares available for issuance thereunder (from 950,000 to 2,950,000 shares). |
4.Segment Reporting
We have three reportable segments: urology services; medical products, which was previously called medical device sales and service; and specialty vehicle manufacturing, which was sold on July 31, 2006. The urology segment provides services related to the operation of lithotripters, including scheduling, staffing, training, quality assurance, regulatory compliance and contracting with payors, hospitals and surgery centers. The medical products segment manufactures, sells, and maintains lithotripters, and markets fixed and mobile tables for urological treatments and imaging, as well as patient handling tables for use by pain management clinics.

5. Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock option grants based on estimated fair values. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the award’s portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for share-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic valued method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 as allowed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the intrinsic value method, share-based compensation expense was only recognized by us if the exercise price of the stock option was less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. |
HEALTHTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2006 (Unaudited) |
We have elected to use the modified prospective application method such that SFAS No. 123(R) applies to new awards, the unvested portion of existing awards and to awards modified, repurchased or canceled after the effective date. In accordance with the modified prospective method, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123(R). |
As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options was approximately $2.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years. We have included approximately $381,000 for share-based compensation cost in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2006. |
Share-based compensation expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is related to awards granted prior to, but not yet fully vested as of, January 1, 2006 and awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005. We have historically and continue to estimate the fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black Scholes”) option-pricing model. |
Our income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, was lower by $287,000 and $381,000, respectively, and net income was lower by $177,000 and $235,000, respectively, than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25. For the same periods, basic earnings per share was $0.01 and $0.01 lower, respectively, and diluted earnings per share was $0.01 and $0.01 lower, respectively, due to our adopting SFAS 123R. |
At December 31, 2005, we had seven separate equity compensation plans: the Prime 1993 and 2003 stock option plans, the HSS general, 2000, 2001 and 2002 stock option plans, and the HSS 2004 equity incentive plan. The plans, and all amendments thereto, had been approved by Prime’s and HSS’ shareholders, as the case may be. Since November 2004, the only active plan has been our 2004 equity incentive plan, which, as amended, authorized the grant of up to 2,950,000 shares to purchase our common stock. |
Options granted under the plans shall terminate no later than ten years from the date the option is granted, unless the option terminates sooner by reason of termination of employment, disability or death. Options may vest immediately or over one to five years. In the second half of 2005, we modified approximately 50,000 options related to employees of our orthotripsy segment which was sold, and recognized approximately $116,000 in expense. |
The following table sets forth certain information as of June 30, 2006 about our equity compensation plans: |

Prior to January 1, 2006, we disclosed compensation cost in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The provisions of SFAS No. 123 require us to disclose the assumptions used in calculating the fair value pro forma expense. Had compensation expense for the plans been determined based on the fair value of the options at grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, our net income and earnings per share would have been as follows: |

To estimate compensation expense which would have been recognized under SFAS No. 123 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and to calculate the compensation cost that was recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, we used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for equity awards granted. For June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively: risk-free interest rates were 4.85% and 3.4%; dividend yields were 0% and 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock were 47% and 47%; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 6 years. |
The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent expected term. We have not paid dividends in the past and do not plan to pay any dividends in the future. We utilized the guidelines of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) of the Securities and Exchange Commission relative to "plain vanilla" options in determining the expected term of option grants. SAB 107 permits the expected term of "plain vanilla" options to be calculated as the average of the option's vesting term and contractual period. This simplified method is based on the vesting period and the contractual term for each grant or for each vesting tranche for awards with graded vesting. The mid-point between the vesting date and the expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. We have used this method in determining the expected term of all options granted after December 31, 2005. We have determined volatility using historical stock prices over a period consistent with the expected term of the option. We recognize compensation cost for awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The amount of compensation expense recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date. |

7. Discontinued Operations
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we decided to divest our orthopaedics business unit. In July 2005, we sold our orthopaedics business unit to SanuWave, Inc., a company controlled by Prides Capital Partners L.L.C. Under the terms of the sale we received $6.4 million in cash, two $2 million unsecured notes and a small passive ownership interest in the acquiring entity. The notes bear interest at 6% per annum with no payments for the first five years, then interest only payments for the next five years with a balloon payment after ten years. Due to the uncertainty of future estimated collections, we have assigned no value to the notes or the ownership interest. Subsequent to this sale, we have provided limited assistance to SanuWave, Inc. related to certain sales and service operations. We were paid $100,000 per month for the first six months in return for the services we provided, in addition to receiving reimbursement of certain direct costs to provide the services for as long as services are provided. The term of transition services varies according to the specific service involved, but will not in any event extend beyond two years. Revenues from this business unit totaled $5.7 million in the first six months of 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we did not record depreciation in the amount of $760,000 related to our orthopaedics business. |

During the second quarter 2006, we committed to a plan to sell our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment. On June 22, 2006, we entered into an Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Oshkosh agreed to acquire our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment for $140 million in cash. We completed this sale on July 31, 2006. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we have classified our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the results of its operations have been reported in discontinued operations for all periods presented. |

Pursuant to EITF 87-24 “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,”, we have allocated certain interest and the related fees incurred to refinance our senior credit facility that was required to be repaid as a result of the disposal of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment. Accordingly, we have included in discontinued operations interest expense totaling $2,145,000 and $4,049,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and $1,503,000 and $4,156,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005. We have also included loan fees and bond call premium of $1,601,000 and $2,784,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, which were incurred solely related to the refinancing of the debt which was required to be repaid. |
8. Restatement of Financial Statements
On March 31, 2006, we announced that we would restate our audited consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2004, and consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 to reflect the revenue recognition policy under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”) with respect to sales of certain of our trailers. Beginning in 2001, we began manufacturing a certain type of trailers to the original equipment manufacturer’s (“OEM’s”) forecast prior to entering into a sales contract with the ultimate customer. Since 2001, we accounted for these sales in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type Contracts and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”), using the completed contract method. Under this accounting policy, revenue related to these sales was recognized when the OEM’s specifications had been met and the related trailers were considered to be substantially complete. We have determined that we should account for these sales in accordance with SAB 104, which provides for the recognition of revenue associated with these sales upon delivery of the trailers to the customers. Therefore, we restated our financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 to reflect this accounting treatment, prior to reclassifying the specialty vehicle manufacturing segment as held for sale. The restatement entries relate only to the timing of the recognition of revenue between periods. These adjustments are summarized as follows: |

General
We provide healthcare services and manufacture medical devices, primarily for the urology community, as well as design and manufacture trailers and coaches that transport high technology medical devices and equipment for mobile command and control centers and the media and broadcast industry. We have three reportable segments: urology services, medical products, which was previously called medical device sales and service, and specialty vehicle manufacturing, which was sold effective July 31, 2006. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Urology. Our lithotripsy services are provided principally through limited partnerships or other entities that we manage, which use lithotripsy devices. In 2005, physicians who are affiliated with us used our lithotripters to perform approximately 55,700 procedures in the U.S. We do not render any medical services. Rather, the physicians do. |
We have two types of contracts, retail and wholesale, that we enter into in providing our lithotripsy services. Retail contracts are contracts where we contract with the hospital and private insurance payors. Wholesale contracts are contracts where we contract only with the hospital. The two approaches functionally differ in that, under a retail contract, we generally bill for the entire non-physician fee for all patients other than governmental pay patients, for which the hospital bills the non-physician fee. Under a wholesale contract, the hospital generally bills for the entire non-physician fee for all patients. In both cases, the billing party contractually bears the costs associated with the billing service, including pre-certification, as well as non-collection. The non-billing party is generally entitled to its fees regardless of whether the billing party actually collects the non-physician fee. Accordingly, under the wholesale contracts where we are the non-billing party, the hospital generally receives a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee to compensate for its billing costs and collection risk. Conversely, under the retail contracts where we generally provide the billing services and bear the collection risk, we receive a greater proportion of the total non-physician fee. |
Although the non-physician fee under both retail and wholesale contracts varies widely based on geographical markets and the identity of the third party payor, we estimate that nationally, on average, our share of the non-physician fee was roughly $2,000, respectively, for the first six months of 2006 and 2005. At this time, we do not anticipate a material shift between our retail and wholesale arrangements. |
As the general partner of the limited partnerships or manager of the other types of entities, we also provide services relating to operating our lithotripters, including scheduling, staffing, training, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and contracting with payors, hospitals and surgery centers. |
Also in the urology segment, we provide treatments for benign and cancerous conditions of the prostate. In treating benign prostate disease, we deploy three technologies: (1) trans-urethral microwave therapy (TUMT), (2) photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), and (3) trans-urethral needle ablation (TUNA). All three technologies apply an energy source which reduces the size of the prostate gland. For treating prostate and other cancers, we use a procedure called cryosurgery, a process which uses a double freeze thaw cycle to destroy cancer cells. |
We recognize urology revenue primarily from the following sources: |
| • | Fees for urology services. A substantial majority of our urology revenue is derived from fees related to lithotripsy treatments performed using our lithotripters. We, through our partnerships or other entities, facilitate the use of our equipment and provide other support services in connection with these treatments at hospitals and other health care facilities. The professional fee payable to the physician performing the procedure is generally billed and collected by the physician. Benign prostate disease and prostate cancer treatment services are billed in the same manner as our lithotripsy services under either retail or wholesale contracts. These services are also primarily performed through limited partnerships, which we manage. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
| • | Fees for operating our lithotripters. Through our partnerships and otherwise directly by us, we provide services related to operating our lithotripters and receive a management fee for performing these services. |
Medical Products. We manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters and their related consumables. We also manufacture, sell and maintain intra-operative X-ray imaging systems and other mobile patient management tables. |
| • | Fees for maintenance services. We provide equipment maintenance services to our partnerships as well as outside parties. These services are billed either on a time and material basis or at a fixed monthly contractual rate. |
| • | Fees for equipment sales, consumable sales and licensing applications. We manufacture, sell and maintain lithotripters and certain medical tables. We also manufacture and sell consumables related to the lithotripters. With respect to some lithotripter sales, in addition to the original sales price, we receive a licensing fee from the buyer of the lithotripter for each patient treated with such lithotripter. In exchange for this licensing fee, we provide the buyer of the lithotripter with certain consumables. All the sales for equipment and consumables are recognized when the related items are delivered. Revenues from licensing fees are recorded when the patient is treated. |
Specialty Vehicle Manufacturing. We design, construct and engineer mobile trailers, coaches, and special purpose mobile units that transport high technology medical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, cardiac catheterization labs, CT scanware, lithotripters and positron emission tomography, or PET, and equipment designed for mobile command and control centers, and broadcasting and communications applications. |
A significant portion of our revenue has been derived from our manufacturing operations. Revenue from the manufacture of trailers where we have a customer contract prior to beginning production is recognized when the project is substantially complete. Substantially complete is when the following have occurred (1) all significant work on the project is done; (2) the specifications under the contract have been met; and (3) no significant risks remain. Revenue from the manufacture of trailers built to an OEM’s forecast is recognized upon delivery. |
On June 22, 2006, HealthTronics and AK Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Truck Corporation (“Oshkosh”), entered into an Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Oshkosh agreed to acquire our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment for $140 million in cash. We completed this sale on July 31, 2006. |
Restatement of Financial Statements
On March 31, 2006, we announced that we would restate our audited consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and our unaudited consolidated financial statements for each of the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, June 30, 2005 and 2004, March 31, 2005 and 2004 and December 31, 2004 (collectively, the “Relevant Periods”) to reflect the revenue recognition policy under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”) with respect to sales of certain of our trailers. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Beginning in 2001, we began manufacturing a certain type of trailers to the original equipment manufacturer’s (“OEM’s”) forecast prior to entering into a sales contract with the ultimate customer. Since 2001, we accounted for these sales in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction–Type Contracts and Certain Production–Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”), using the completed contract method. Under this accounting policy, revenue related to these sales was recognized when the OEM’s specifications had been met and the related trailers were considered to be substantially complete. We have determined that we should account for these sales in accordance with SAB 104, which provides for the recognition of revenue associated with these sales upon delivery of the trailers to the customers. Accordingly, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2005, we restated our consolidated financial statements for the Relevant Periods to reflect this accounting treatment. The restatement entries relate only to the timing of the recognition of revenue between periods. |
Our management has determined that the restatement described above was the result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. We have remediated the material weakness. See further discussion of this material weakness and related remedial efforts, along with a discussion of a second material weakness and related remedial efforts, in “Item 4- Controls and Procedures.” |
All amounts referenced in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 reflect the balances and amounts on a restated basis as described above. |
Recent Developments
On June 22, 2006, we entered into an Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Oshkosh agreed to acquire our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment for $140 million in cash. We completed this sale on July 31, 2006. We used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment to repay our term loan B in full and our mortgage debt related to our building in Austin, Texas. |
On July 27, 2006, John Q. Barnidge resigned, effective August 10, 2006, from his positions as our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In connection with his departure, we entered into a severance and non-competition agreement with Mr. Barnidge whereby (1) we agreed to make a severance payment of $310,000 to Mr. Barnidge and (2) Mr. Barnidge agreed to a four-year non-competition provision in exchange for a payment from us equal to $150,000 for each year under the non-competition provision, such payment to be made on August 10, 2006. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets are both a critical accounting policy and estimate that requires judgment and is based on assumptions of future operations. We are required to test for impairments at least annually or if circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We test for impairment of goodwill during the fourth quarter. We have three reporting units, urology services, medical products, and specialty vehicle manufacturing. The fair value of each reporting unit is calculated using estimated discounted future cash flow projections. As of June 30, 2006, we had goodwill of $306 million, which includes $53 million related to our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment which is shown as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. |
A second critical accounting policy and estimate which requires judgment of management is the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. We have based our estimates on historical collection amounts, current contracts with payors, current changes of the facts and circumstances relating to these matters and certain negotiations with related payors. |
A third critical accounting policy is consolidation of our investment in partnerships or limited liability companies (LLCs) where we, as the general partner or managing member, exercise effective control, even though our ownership is less than 50%. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities more than 50% owned, and limited partnerships or LLCs where we, as the general partner or managing member, exercise effective control, even though our ownership is less than 50%. The related agreements provide us with broad powers. The other parties do not participate in the management of the entity and do not have the substantial ability to remove us. Investment in entities in which our investment is less than 50% ownership and we do not have significant control are accounted for by the equity method if ownership is between 20%–50%, or by the cost method if ownership is less than 20%. We have reviewed each of the underlying agreements and determined we have effective control; however, if it was determined this control did not exist, these investments would be reflected on the equity or cost method of accounting. Although this would change individual line items within our consolidated financial statements, it would have no effect on our net income and/or total stockholders’ equity. |
Six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 |
Our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $1,211,000 (2%) as compared to the same period in 2005. Revenues from our urology services operations decreased by $2,601,000 (4%) in the first half of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Revenues from our prostate treatments decreased $206,000 for the first half of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005, while revenues from our lithotripsy business decreased $2,395,000 in the first half of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The total number of lithotripsy procedures performed in the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased 6% as compared to the same period in 2005. The average rate per lithotripsy procedure increased by 2% for the first half of 2006 as compared to the same period a year ago. Revenues for our medical products segment increased by $3,899,000 (52%) compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to a mix of sales between external customers and sales to our urology services segment. Medical products revenues before intersegment eliminations totaled $16.6 million in 2006 and $15.6 million in 2005. We sold 14 lithotripter/imaging systems and 45 tables in the first half of 2006 compared to 8 lithotripters and 34 tables in the same period in 2005. Revenues from our service operations and consumable sales increased $1,703,000 in the first half of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Revenues from our new lab which started operations in January 2006, totaled $528,000 for the first six months of 2006. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Our costs of services and general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $10,041,000 in absolute terms and increased from 56% to 68% as a percentage of revenues compared to the same period in 2005. Our costs of services associated with our urology services operations for the first half of 2006 increased $584,000 (2%) in absolute terms and increased from 45% to 47% of our urology revenues compared to the same period in 2005. The primary cause of this increase relates to a $733,000 increase in medical supplies and $400,000 in severance costs in 2006. Our costs of services associated with our medical products operations for the first half 2006 increased $8,222,000 (238%) compared to the same period in 2005. A significant portion of medical products costs relate to providing maintenance services to our urology segment and are allocated to the urology segment. This increase relates to an increase in costs of goods sold as it relates to the increase in sales to external customers, noted above. Additionally, this increase relates to an increase in supplies used under our maintenance contracts. Salary costs for the medical products operations also increased by approximately $710,000 as we increased our sales force. We also expended $400,000 of research and development costs in 2006. Also, expenses for our new lab, which opened in January 2006, totaled $631,000 for the first six months of 2006. In the future, we expect margins in medical products will continue to vary significantly from period to period based on the mix of inter-company and third-party sales and projected research and development expenses. |
On June 22, 2006, we entered into an agreement to sell our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment. Accordingly, we have classified this segment as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Our specialty vehicle manufacturing revenues increased $2,418,000 (5%) for the first half of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The number of units shipped decreased from 189 during the first half 2005 to 160 during the same period in 2006. Our cost of services associated with our specialty vehicle manufacturing operations increased $1,402,000 (3%) in absolute terms for the first half 2006 and improved by 1% as a percentage of our specialty vehicle manufacturing revenues. Our corporate expenses for the first half of 2006 increased to 5% of revenues compared to 4% in the same period in 2005, increasing $1,395,000 in absolute terms for the first half 2006. This increase relate primarily to $381,000 of stock option expense recorded in 2006, $650,000 paid to strategic consultants in 2006 and approximately $200,000 of costs related to the hiring and relocation of our new CEO. |
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $160,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 and remained constant at 8% of total revenues. |
Minority interest in consolidated income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $1,141,000 (5%) compared to the same period in 2005, as a result of a decrease in income from our urology segment due primarily to lower revenues and increased supply costs noted above. |
Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $3,233,000 compared to the same period in 2005 due to a decrease in taxable income, partially offset by a small increase in the effective tax rate. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005 |
Our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $1,312,000 (3%) as compared to the same period in 2005. Revenues from our urology services operations decreased by $1,663,000 (5%) in the quarter. Revenues from our prostate treatments decreased $824,000 for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005, while revenues from our lithotripsy business decreased $839,000 in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The total number of lithotripsy procedures performed in the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by 1,161 or 8% compared to the same period in 2005. The average rate per lithotripsy procedure increased by 5% for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Revenues for our medical products segment increased by $396,000 (8%) compared to the same period in 2005. Medical products revenues before inter-segment eliminations totaled $7.7 million in 2006 and $9.0 million in 2005. We sold 6 lithotripter/imaging systems and 21 tables in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2 lithotripters and 17 tables in the same period in 2005. Revenues from our service operations and sales of consumables remained fairly constant between periods while our new lab had revenues totaling $262,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. |
Our costs of services and general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $2,695,000 in absolute terms, and increased from 58% to 67% as a percentage of revenues compared to the same period in 2005. Our costs of services associated with our urology services operations for the second quarter of 2006 decreased $1,525,000 (10%) in absolute terms and decreased from 46% to 44% of our urology revenues compared to the same period in 2005. The primary cause of this decrease relates to an increase of approximately $1 million in gain on sales of partnership interests and fixed assets and a $300,000 decrease in medical supply cost from the same period a year ago. Our costs of services associated with our medical products operations for the second quarter 2006 increased $2,883,000 (105%) compared to the same period in 2005. A significant portion of medical products costs relate to providing maintenance services to our urology services segment and are allocated to the urology services segment. This increase relates to the significant amount of intercompany sales in 2005 whose elimination causes the large fluctuations in medical products costs in 2005. Costs for our new lab operations totaled $355,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. |
Our specialty vehicle manufacturing revenues increased $2,076,000 (9%) for the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The number of units shipped decreased from 86 during the second quarter of 2005 to 78 during the second quarter of 2006. Our cost of services associated with our specialty vehicle manufacturing operations increased $1,684,000 (8%) in absolute terms for the second quarter 2006 and remained constant at 87% of our specialty vehicle manufacturing revenues for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005. Our corporate expenses increased to 7% of revenues compared to the same period in 2005, increasing $1,347,000 in absolute terms for the second quarter 2006. This increase relates primarily to $287,000 of stock option expense recorded in 2006, $650,000 of costs paid to strategic consultants and approximately $200,000 of costs related to hiring and relocation of our new CEO. |
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 and remained constant at 8% of revenues. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Minority interest in consolidated income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $77,000 (1%) compared to the same period in 2005, as a result of a decrease in income from our urology segment due primarily to lower revenues and increased supply costs noted above. |
Provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $1,512,000 compared to the same period in 2005 due to a decrease in taxable income, partially offset by a small increase in the effective tax rate. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Our cash and cash equivalents were $13,247,000 and $21,322,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Our subsidiaries generally distribute all of their available cash quarterly, after establishing reserves for estimated capital expenditures and working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, our subsidiaries distributed cash of approximately $29,901,000 and $28,772,000, respectively, to minority interest holders. |
Cash provided by our operations, after minority interest, was $24,926,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $14,924,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended 2005, fee and other revenue collected increased by $7,386,000 due primarily to timing of collections and increased revenue. Cash paid to employees, suppliers of goods and others for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by $808,000 compared to the same period in 2005. These fluctuations are attributable to the timing of accounts payable and accrued expense payments. A decrease in cash used in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to loan fees and bond call premium totaling $2,784,000 which were paid in the first half of 2005 and related to our debt refinancing discussed previously. |
Cash used by our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $6,499,000. We purchased equipment and leasehold improvements totaling $6,752,000. Cash used by our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $4,346,000 primarily due to $6,330,000 in equipment and leasehold improvements purchases, partially offset by proceeds from sales of assets totaling $1,450,000. |
Cash used in our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $31,381,000, primarily due to distributions to minority interests of $29,901,000 and payments on notes payable of $3,523,000 partially offset by borrowings on notes payable of $2,047,000. Cash used in our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $18,406,000, primarily due to distributions to minority interests of $28,772,000 and net payments on notes payable of $720,000. |
Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2006 decreased $2,074,000 from December 31, 2005. Bad debt expense was less than $150,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. |
Inventory as of June 30, 2006 totaled $10,679,000 and decreased $827,000 from December 31, 2005. Inventory in our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment increased $10,407,000 from $22,392,000 in 2005 to $32,799,000 in 2006 and is included in assets held for sale in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Total backlog for the manufacturing segment was $41,556,000 and $31,708,000 as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Senior Credit Facility
Our senior credit facility is comprised of a five-year $50 million revolver and a $125 million senior secured term loan B due 2011. We entered into this senior credit facility in March 2005. This new loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR + 1.25 to 2.25% or prime + .25 to 1.25%. We are required to make quarterly principal payments in connection with the term loan B of $312,500 until February 2010, when quarterly payments will increase to $29.7 million. We may also be required to make an annual repayment of the term loan B of either 25% or 50% of Excess Cash Flow as defined in our credit facility based on the level of the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated according to the terms of our credit facility. As of June 30, 2006, there were no amounts drawn on the revolver. Our senior credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur debt, create liens, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, make restricted payments, enter into transactions with affiliates, and make acquisitions. In addition, our facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. We were in compliance with the covenants under our senior credit facility as of June 30, 2006. |
On July 31, 2006, we used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment to repay the term loan B in full. |
8.75% Notes
In April 2005, our $125 million term loan B referred to above was funded and we used the proceeds to redeem the $100 million of unsecured senior subordinated notes. The notes were subject to an 8.75% rate of interest and interest was payable semi-annually on April 1st and October 1st. Principal was due April 2008. |
Other
Interest Rate Swap .. In August 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap which was designated as a fair value hedge pursuant to the provisions of FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and FAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This swap was executed to convert $50 million of the 8.75% notes from a fixed to floating rate instrument. The floating rate was based on LIBOR plus 4.56%. In March 2003, we amended our interest rate swap agreement to add an additional $25 million with a floating rate based on LIBOR plus 5.11%. We terminated the swaps in May 2003. In August 2003, we entered into two new interest rate swaps for $25 million each which were also designated as fair value hedges. The floating rates of these two interest rate swap agreements were based on LIBOR plus 4.72% and 4.97%, respectively. In January 2004, we terminated these swaps for approximately $150,000. In the second quarter of 2005, approximately $564,000 in proceeds from these swaps was recognized when the 8.75% notes were redeemed as described above. |
Other long term debt. At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $3.5 million of mortgage debt related to our building in Austin, Texas which bears interest at prime plus 1% and is due in monthly installments until November, 2006. This mortgage debt was retired on July 31, 2006. We also had notes totaling $12 million as of June 30, 2006 related to equipment purchased by our limited partnerships. These notes are paid from the cash flows of the related partnerships. They bear interest at LIBOR or prime plus a certain premium and are due over the next three years. |

Other long term obligations. At June 30, 2006, we had an obligation totaling $450,000 related to payments to the previous owner of Aluminum Body Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours that we sold as part of the sale of our specialty vehicles manufacturing segment (“ABC”), for $75,000 per quarter until March 31, 2008 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. Also at June 30, 2006, as part of our Medstone acquisition, we had an obligation totaling $267,000 related to payments to an employee for $20,833 a month until February 28, 2007 and $4,167 a month beginning March 1, 2007 and continuing until February 28, 2009 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. We also had as part of the Prime-HSS merger, two obligations totaling $200,000 related to payments to two previous employees of HSS. One obligation is for $8,333 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. The other obligation is for $4,167 a month until October 31, 2007 as consideration for a noncompetition agreement. |

Our primary sources of cash are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility. Our cash flows from operations and therefore our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures, will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors. Likewise, our ability to borrow under our senior credit facility will depend on these factors, which will affect our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit facility and our ability to obtain waivers for, or otherwise address, any noncompliance with the terms of our credit facility with our lenders. |
We intend to increase our urology services operations primarily through forming new operating subsidiaries in new markets as well as by acquisitions. We plan to increase our medical products segment by offering new equipment and expanding our customer base. We intend to fund the purchase price for future acquisitions and developments using borrowings under our senior credit facility and cash flows from our operations. In addition, we may use shares of our common stock in such acquisitions where appropriate. |
Based upon the current level of our operations and anticipated cost savings and revenue growth, we believe that cash flows from our operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our senior credit facility, will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs both for the short term and for at least the next several years. However, there can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, that we will realize our anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements or that future borrowings will be available under our senior credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. |
Inflation
Our operations are not significantly affected by inflation because we are not required to make large investments in fixed assets. However, the rate of inflation will affect certain of our expenses, such as employee compensation and benefits. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) finalized Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In addition, FIN 48 clearly scopes out income taxes from FASB No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. |
Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
At its June 2005 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus subject to ratification by the FASB on EITF 04-05 with regards to consolidation of limited partnership interests by the general partner. The requirements would replace counterpart requirements in Statement of Position (SOP) 78-9, which provides guidance on accounting for investments in real-estate ventures, but has come to be used for all types of limited partnerships. The approved consensus by the EITF are based on the same presumption in SOP 78-9 that the general partner controls the limited partnership and should consolidate it, regardless of the level of its ownership interest. However, EITF 04-05 would establish a new framework for evaluating whether the presumption that the general partner controls the limited partnership is overcome. Based on the approved consensus, the presumption of general-partner control would be overcome only if the limited partners have either "kick-out rights" - the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner "without cause" or “participating rights” - the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership's business. The kick-out rights and the participating rights must be substantive in order to overcome the presumption of general partner control. The adoption of EITF 04-05 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. |
In November 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). SFAS 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. We adopted SFAS 151 effective January 1, 2006, and the impact was not material. |
In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in an accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS 154 effective January 1, 2006, and this adoption did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. |
Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30 2006, we had long-term debt (including current portion) totaling $138,938,000, of which $8,142,000 had fixed rates of 1% to 11%, $3,822,000 incurred interest at a variable rate equal to a specified prime rate, and $126,974,000 incurred interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR + 1.25 to 2.25% or prime + .25 to 1.25%. On July 31, 2006, we retired the $126,974,000 of debt with variable rate (term loan B and mortgage debt). We are exposed to some market risk due to the remaining floating interest rate debt totaling $3,822,000. We make monthly or quarterly payments of principal and interest on $2,261,000 of the floating rate debt. An increase in interest rates of 1% would result in a $38,000 annual increase in interest expense on this existing principal balance. |
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures |
As of June 30, 2006, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. |
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting performed as of December 31, 2005 identified the following two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: |
| • | We did not have effective policies and procedures in our specialty vehicle manufacturing segment to identify the appropriate revenue recognition criteria under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for certain types of customer arrangements. This deficiency resulted in the restatement described in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
| | |
| • | We did not have effective policies and procedures to select and appropriately apply U.S. generally accepted accounting principles regarding purchase accounting related to company acquisitions. This deficiency resulted in an error in our preliminary December 31, 2005 year-end balance sheet affecting a severance liability, an intangible asset and goodwill related to our accounting for a severance liability in the reverse merger of HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc. and Prime Medical Services Inc. |
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, in response to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, we took measures to establish additional policies and procedures to help ensure documentation of all relevant aspects of customer arrangements to support the determination of the appropriate revenue recognition policies in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, we took measures to help ensure that we recognize revenues from the manufacture and sale of trailers placed into production according to the OEM’s forecast prior to entering into sales contracts upon delivery of such trailers to the customers, as required under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104. We also took measures to help ensure that we appropriately account for severance items in company acquisitions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles regarding purchase accounting. We believe the material weaknesses were remedied as a result of such measures. |
Except as discussed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting. |
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. |
