Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 1) In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. 2) Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are summarized as follows: (in thousands) September 30, 2000 December 31, 1999 Raw materials and supplies $ 10,738 $ 12,056 Work in process 950 1,389 Finished goods 10,623 12,199 ------------------ ----------------- Total 22,311 25,644 Reserve for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory (1,104) (1,608) ------------------ ----------------- Total $ 21,207 $ 24,036 ================== ================= At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 the net OREX inventory was approximately $6.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively. 3) The remaining net assets of the MedSurg subsidiary at December 31, 1999 were classified as held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Title to these assets transferred to Allegiance Healthcare Corporation ("Allegiance") on January 31, 2000. They were comprised of the following: (in thousands) December 31, 1999 -------------------------- Assets: Inventory $ 4,846 -------------------------- Total Assets 4,846 Liabilities: Accounts payable 3,211 Accrued liabilities 1,635 -------------------------- Total Liabilities 4,846 Net assets held for sale $ - ========================== 5 On March 31, 1999, the Company disposed of its former corporate headquarters for proceeds of approximately $1.9 million. Effective May 31, 1999, the Company disposed of the stock of its White Knight subsidiary ("White Knight") for proceeds of approximately $8.2 million. These proceeds were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement. On July 12, 1999, the Company disposed of substantially all of the assets of its MedSurg subsidiary and entered into an OREX License and Supply Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Allegiance for net proceeds of $28.6 million, consisting of $25.5 million in cash and a $3.1 million escrow receivable (the "Disposition Escrow Account"). A portion of these proceeds was used to pay-off the remaining balance of the Company's Credit Agreement. As part of the sale of MedSurg assets, title to certain MedSurg assets and liabilities transferred to Allegiance on January 31, 2000. On February 16, 2000, Allegiance deposited an additional $1.2 million into the Disposition Escrow Account related to costs the Company incurred in 2000 on Allegiance's behalf. On July 21, 2000, the Company completed a settlement agreement with Allegiance and disbursed the entire proceeds of the Disposition Escrow Account. The settlement called for the disbursement to Allegiance of $2.5 million from the escrow funds with the balance returned to the Company. Amounts paid to Allegiance as a result of the settlement will be recorded as a reduction to deferred royalties. On July 21, 2000, the Company received the proceeds from this settlement of $1.8 million plus accumulated interest. The following represents the results of operations of the above noted disposed entities for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999: Three months ended Nine months ended (in thousands, except per share data) September 30, 1999 September 30, 1999 Net revenues $ 1,536 $ 38,673 Net profit (loss) (44) (518) Net profit (loss) per share - basic $ - $ (0.01) 4) Basic per share earnings (loss) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted per share earnings (loss) is computed including the dilutive effect of all contingently issuable shares. The difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares is attributable to 1.7 million and 2.8 million stock options for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. There were 1.5 million and 753,000 dilutive stock options outstanding for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. 5) On February 11, 2000 the Company paid $249,000 for approximately 13.0% interest in Consolidated Ecoprogress Technology, Inc. ("CES"). CES is a Canadian environmental technology company focused on being a leader in developing and selling biodegradable and disposable absorbent products such as diapers, feminine hygiene, adult incontinence and other products. This investment is classified in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in 6 Debt and Equity Securities as available for sale securities and is stated at market value. Any change in market value between periods is included as a component of shareholders' equity. The value of this investment as of September 30, 2000 was $619,000. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 (the "2000 Quarter") were $14.2 million compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 (the "1999 Quarter"), a decrease of 16.9%. Net revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 (the "2000 Period") were $42.6 million compared to $84.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 (the "1999 Period"), a decrease of 49.3%. Excluding sales of the healthcare division of White Knight ("White Knight Healthcare") which was sold as of May 31, 1999, and MedSurg which was sold on July 12, 1999, net revenues for the 2000 Quarter and Period decreased 8.7% and 9.1%, respectively, as compared to the 1999 Quarter and Period. Sales of Microtek products declined to $11.2 million during the 2000 Quarter as compared to $12.1 million during the 1999 Quarter, a decrease of 7.1%, and declined to $33.2 million in the 2000 Period as compared to $38.2 million in the 1999 Period, a decrease of 13.1%. This decline was primarily a result of sales during the 1999 Period from a short-term manufacturing contract arrangement with a customer during the 1999 Period with no comparable sales in the 2000 Period, and a decrease in Microtek's OEM and International businesses. Sales of safety products declined to $2.0 million from $2.2 million or 7.8% during the 2000 Quarter as compared to the 1999 Quarter and decreased to $5.9 million from $6.4 million or 6.8% during the 2000 Period as compared to the 1999 Period. The quarter and period decline in safety product sales primarily reflects reduced production caused by supplier performance problems. Included in the foregoing sales figures are $1.3 million in sales of OREX Degradables and Enviroguard products during the 2000 Period as compared to $1.5 million during the corresponding period of 1999. During 1997, the Company substantially reduced selling and marketing efforts related to OREX Degradables and focused on preserving its existing base of hospitals purchasing OREX Degradables and evaluating means to exploit the market position of OREX Degradables within its various market potentials. During 1998, the Company substantially revised its strategy to commercialize its OREX products. As a result of these efforts, in April 1999 the Company introduced new degradable products to the healthcare industry under the Enviroguard trademark, which uses a hydroentanglement manufacturing process to produce a spunlaced fabric. The Company's future performance will depend to a substantial degree upon market acceptance of this product and the Company's ability to successfully manufacture, market, deliver and expand its OREX Degradables and Enviroguard lines of products at acceptable profit margins. In connection with the July 12, 1999 sale by the Company of the assets of MedSurg to Allegiance, the Company 7 granted to Allegiance a worldwide exclusive license to Isolyser's OREX and Enviroguard proprietary technologies to make, use and sell products made from material which can be dissolved and disposed of through a sanitary sewer system for healthcare applications. Net revenues for the 2000 Quarter and Period include $500,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, of licensing revenues attributable to the License Agreement. Licensing revenue under the License Agreement is now $500,000 per quarter. The Company recorded $402,000 and $1.3 million in net sales of OREX products during the 2000 Quarter and 2000 Period, respectively. For the 2000 Period, net sales of OREX Products were comprised of $910,000 in sales to Allegiance, $76,000 in sales related to the Company's emerging nuclear business, $96,000 in sales related to the Company's emerging automotive business and $245,000 in other miscellaneous sales. There can be no assurances that OREX Degradables or Enviroguard products will achieve or maintain substantial acceptance in their target markets. See the risks described under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Annual Report") including, without limitation, "Risk Factors- History of Net Losses," "-Marketing Risks Affecting OREX Products" and "-Manufacturing and Supply Risks" in the Company's 1999 Annual Report. Gross profit for the 2000 Quarter was $6.2 million, or 43.7% of net revenue, as compared to $7.3 million, or 43.0% of net revenue in the 1999 Quarter. Gross profit for the 2000 Period was $19.0 million, or 44.5% of net revenue, as compared to $31.1 million, or 37.0% of net revenue for the 1999 Period. Included as a reduction in cost of sales during the 1999 Period was a favorable adjustment of approximately $1.6 million of excess OREX inventory reserve primarily due to anticipated usage under the License Agreement with Allegiance, which increased gross profit. Exclusive of these adjustments, gross profit was 35.1% of net revenues for the 1999 Period. The improvement in gross profit is attributable to increased licensing revenues from the Allegiance License Agreement, reduced costs associated with the sale of the White Knight Healthcare and MedSurg businesses and the cessation of sales of lower margin products due to these divestiture transactions. Microtek's gross profit declined 13.4% in the 2000 Quarter as compared to the 1999 Quarter and declined 19.2% for the 2000 Period as compared to the 1999 Period. The decline in the quarterly comparison was primarily due to lower sales performance in the OEM and International businesses and the decline in the nine month period comparison was primarily due to lower sales resulting from a short-term manufacturing agreement which ended in the 1999 Period. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.1 million, or 36.0% of net revenue in the 2000 Quarter as compared to $5.0 million, or 29.6% of net revenue in the 1999 Quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $15.4 million, or 36.2% of net revenue in the 2000 Period as compared to $22.8 million, or 27.1% of net revenue in the 1999 Period. The reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the sale by the Company of White Knight Healthcare and certain assets of the Company's MedSurg subsidiary. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of sales was due to sales mix. The Company's White Knight and MedSurg subsidiaries traditionally had lower sales costs as a percentage of sales. Although Microtek's selling cost to sales ratio is higher than White Knight and MedSurg, Microtek's gross margins are significantly higher. During the 2000 Quarter and Period, Microtek increased its selling, general and administrative cost as a percentage of sales by 2.7% and 3.1%, respectively, as compared to the 1999 Quarter and Period. Research and development expenses were $1.0 million or 7.2% of net revenue in the 2000 Quarter as compared to $710,000, or 4.2% of net revenue in the 1999 Quarter. Research and development expenses were $2.7 million, or 6.3% of net 8 revenue in the 2000 Period, as compared to $2.1 million, or 2.5% of net revenue in the 1999 Period. The increased expenditure commitment in research and development expense reflects the Company's commitment to continuing the pursuit of expanding its intellectual property and technology base. On July 12, 1999, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its MedSurg subsidiary for approximately $20.8 million. Concurrently with the sale of MedSurg, the Company and Allegiance entered into the License Agreement described above. Effective May 31, 1999, the Company disposed of the stock of its White Knight Healthcare subsidiary for approximately $8.2 million in cash. In conjunction with this disposition, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $1.6 million in the 1999 Period. Amortization of intangibles was $279,000 and $838,000 in the 2000 Quarter and Period, respectively, as compared to $311,000 and $1.2 million in the corresponding periods of 1999. The decline in amortization expenses was primarily due to the sale of White Knight Healthcare and disposition of certain assets of the Company's MedSurg subsidiary. The resulting income/(loss) from operations was $(214,000) and $29,000 for the 2000 Quarter and Period, respectively, as compared to income from operations of $1.3 million and $3.4 million for the 1999 Quarter and Period, respectively. Interest income, net of interest expense, was $335,000 in the 2000 Quarter as compared to a net expense of $41,000 in the 1999 Quarter. For the 2000 Period, interest income, net of interest expense, was $348,000. For the 1999 Period, interest expense, net of interest income, was $1.1 million. The change in interest, from expense to income, is attributed to reduced borrowings during the 2000 Quarter and Period as a result of the disposition of the aforementioned assets during 1999 together with increased interest earned on the proceeds from the sale and licensing transactions. During the 1999 Quarter and Period, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of certain assets of its MedSurg subsidiary in the amount of $124,000. Provision for income taxes reflects expenses of $48,000 and $172,000 in the 2000 Quarter and Period, respectively, as compared to $128,000 and $515,000 in the corresponding periods of 1999. The resulting net income was $93,000 and $205,000 for the 2000 Quarter and Period, respectively, as compared to net income of $1.3 million and $1.9 million in the 1999 Quarter and Period, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2000, the Company's cash and equivalents totaled $15.4 as compared to $17.0 million at December 31, 1999. During the 2000 Period, the Company's operating activities supplied cash of $702,000 as compared to $9.4 million in the 1999 Period. The reduction of cash supplied by operating activities in the 2000 Period is primarily attributable to an increase in working capital investment and lower operating earnings. In the 2000 Period, the Company invested $1.0 million in capital equipment and $293,000 in technology businesses. The Company generated $23.8 million from investing 9 activities during the 1999 Period consisting primarily of $25.4 million from the disposition of certain MedSurg assets, White Knight Healthcare and the Company's former headquarters. These amounts were offset by approximately $1.6 million in capital expenditures during the 1999 Period. The Company used $949,000 in cash for financing activities in the 2000 Period as compared to $22.1 million in the 1999 Period. In the 1999 Period, the Company utilized cash proceeds from dispositions to reduce amounts outstanding under its Credit Agreement. The cash used for financing activities in the 2000 Period was due to the repayment of $2.8 million of long-term debt, offset by the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock ($1.9 million) attributable to the exercise of stock options. Purchases of treasury stock under the stock repurchase program approved by the Company's Board of Directors in December, 1999 were $371,000 in the 2000 Period. As more fully described in the Company's 1999 Annual Report, the Company maintains a $10.0 million credit agreement (as amended to date, the "Credit Agreement") consisting of a revolving credit facility which matures on June 30, 2001. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2000. The Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of up to $1.0 million in letters of credit. There were no outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in its Credit Agreement. On March 31, 1999, the Company disposed of its former corporate headquarters for proceeds of $1.9 million in cash. Effective May 31, 1999, the Company disposed of the stock of White Knight Healthcare for proceeds of $8.2 million in cash. These proceeds were subsequently used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement. On July 12, 1999, the Company disposed of its MedSurg subsidiary and entered into an OREX License and Supply Agreement with Allegiance for net cash proceeds of $28.6 million. A portion of these proceeds were subsequently used to repay the remaining balance of the Company's Credit Agreement. A $2.5 million portion of these proceeds was paid to Allegiance in connection with the July 21, 2000 settlement of certain claims made by Allegiance. Based upon its current business plan, the Company currently expects that cash equivalents and short term investments on hand, the Company's existing credit facility and funds budgeted to be generated from operations will be adequate to meet its liquidity and capital requirements through the next twelve months. Although the Company has no plans to initiate additional debt financing or issuance of additional capital stock, unforeseen future developments and increased working capital requirements could require additional debt financing or issuance of common stock. Forward Looking Statements Statements made in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include forward-looking statements made under the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Company's actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking 10 statements and such results will be affected by risks described in the Company's 1999 Annual Report including, without limitation, those described under "Risk Factors - History of Net Losses," "-Marketing Risks Affecting OREX Products," "-Manufacturing & Supply Risks," "-Regulatory Risks," "-Competition," and "-Claims Arising from Divestitures." Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company's greatest sensitivity with respect to market risk is to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates and its effect upon the Company's interest expense. At September 30, 2000, the Company had no long-term or short-term debt that bears interest at floating rates. However, should the Company incur borrowings under its Credit Agreement, such borrowings would bear interest at variable rates. Because these rates are variable, an increase in interest rates would result in additional interest expense and a reduction in interest rates would result in reduced interest expense. 11 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
