ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company was formed in March 1991, to develop, manufacture and market
medical and surgical products at prices lower than those of competing products.
Its products are joint reconstructive devices, namely the Consensus-Registered
Trademark- Knee, Hip and Bipolar Systems (the "Consensus Products"), consisting
of prostheses that replace all or a part of the patient's diseased or fractured
joint, together with the specialized surgical instruments used to implant these
devices. The Consensus Products are designed to be substantially equivalent to
other highly featured joint replacement systems on the market. However, both
the implant devices and surgical instruments comprising the Consensus Products
incorporate certain distinctive features designed to accommodate the preferences
of orthopedic surgeons.
US Medical Products, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"), has entered
into merger negotiations with Metrax Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Metrax Medical"), which owns 80% of the Company's Common Stock. Metrax
Medical is a privately held company that owns 100% of Metrax GmbH, a German
based medical products company that develops, manufactures and internationally
distributes professional medical products and consumer wellness products. Upon
consummation of the merger, the Company anticipates that Metrax Medical will be
merged with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving
entity to continue the operations of Metrax Medical. The Company also intends
to change its name to Metrax International, Inc.
The Company is also currently negotiating to sell substantially all of its
assets to Hayes Medical, Inc., a California corporation ("Hayes Medical") for a
secured promissory note in the principal amount of 56.25% of the agreed upon
book value of the assets, less certain liabilities of the Company to be assumed
by Hayes Medical at closing and less a cash payment to be made of approximately
$300,000. The Company is also currently negotiating an agreement to sell its
intellectual property to Hayes Medical for a consideration of approximately
$550,000.
Effective February 1, 1997, the Company entered into a "worldwide exclusive
distribution agreement" with an affiliate of Hayes Medical (the "Distributor").
In conjunction with this agreement, the Company sold to the Distributor
inventory with a book value of $1.78 million dollars in exchange for a cash
purchase price of 56.25% of the net book value of such inventory ($1.0 million).
The Distributor also agreed to purchase additional inventory with a net book
value of $.533 million in exchange for a cash purchase price of 56.25% of the
inventory's book value ($.3 million dollars). Any additional purchases by the
Distributor pursuant to the worldwide distribution agreement will be made at 60%
of the Company's list price. See "Subsequent Events".
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUE. The Company's total revenue increased from $769,580 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 to $1,766,992 for the same period in
1997. The Company's revenue is primarily derived from the sale of orthopedic
implant devices together with corresponding surgical instruments. The increase
in total revenue from 1996 to 1997 was primarily attributable to the worldwide
distribution agreement entered into with the Hayes Medical affiliate.
COSTS OF GOODS SOLD. Costs of goods sold increased from $263,862 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 to $1,588,223 for the same period in
1997. Costs of goods sold includes the cost of materials, manufacturing costs,
related production costs and allocated overhead costs. As a result of the
distributorship agreement, the gross margin decreased from 65.7 % for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 to 10.1% for the same period in 1997.
SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expense decreased from $468,717
for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 to $134,573 for the same period
in 1997. The decrease in Sales and Marketing expenses is attributable to the
decrease in expenses due to the worldwide distribution agreement.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense decreased from
$314,002 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 to $116,741 for the
same period in 1997. The primary components of research and development expense
are salaries and development costs associated with the primary knee
implant/instrument system. The development costs include creation of models,
prototypes, test parts, product testing and preproduction of clinical implants
and instruments for product evaluation prior to final release.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense decreased
from $344,484 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 to $277,658 for
the same period in 1997. The primary components of general and administrative
expense are salaries, including those for the Company's finance and
administration staff, and all components of corporate overhead not charged to
inventory.
Interest for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 in the amount of
$125,834 is primarily attributable to the note held by the Company on behalf of
Smith Management, the company's majority shareholder at the time. Interest for
the same period in 1997, in the amount of $7,476 is due to the Company's current
majority shareholder, Metrax Medical, Inc., and various equipment lease notes.
The Company incurred a net loss for the three month period ended March 31,
1997 of $467,408, or ($0.03) per share. This net loss compares to the loss in
1996 of $747,319, or ($0.10) per share.
The Company intends to sell substantially all of its assets to Hayes
Medical at approximately 56.25% of book value. While there can be no assurance
that this sale will be consummated, it indicates an impairment in value of the
Company's assets. As a result, the Company has recorded a writedown of
inventory and fixed assets of $109,729 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY & FINANCING:
On August 19, 1996, Durian Securities, Inc., a private investment company
managed and administered by Smith Management Co., Inc., sold its holdings in the
Company and its notes receivable from the Company with a face value of
$1,100,000 to Metrax Medical, Inc. ("MMI)". In January 1997, the Company paid
$1,000,000 to MMI as payment on this debt . MMI used a majority of these
proceeds to satisfy its obligations to Durian, thereby removing the encumbrances
on the Company's assets which were collateralizing the MMI's note payable to
Durian and loaned $165,000 to the Company to reduce accounts payable.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On April 7, 1997, the Company signed an amendment to the "world wide
exclusive distribution agreement," whereby up to an additional $700,000 of
inventory may be purchased at a price of 30% above cost (prior to valuation
reserves) for new inventory or 56.25% of fully burdened cost (prior to valuation
reserves) for existing inventory. Additional future purchases made under this
agreement, if any, will be made at a price to be agreed upon by both parties.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in certain claims arising in the normal course of
business. It is unable to say at this time the extent to which these matters
will be pursued by the claimants or to predict with certainty the eventual
outcome. However, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or
results of operations.
