Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(1) Description of the Business
MedPlus, Inc. (the "Company") provides state-of-the-art
information management technology products and consulting services
to customers predominantly in the healthcare industry. The
Company's products presently consist of the IntelliCode[tm]
Intelligent Bar Code System ("IntelliCode"), the OptiMaxx[tm]
Archival System ("OptiMaxx"), the ChartMaxx Electronic Patient
Record System ("ChartMaxx"), and Step2000[tm] Workflow, Document
Management, and Application Development System ("Step2000").
IntelliCode is an intelligent bar coding system for hospitals and
other healthcare organizations. OptiMaxx is an optical disk-based
archival system. ChartMaxx is an enterprise-wide electronic
patient record system. Step2000 is workflow, document management,
and application development software that enhances the utilization
of information on an enterprise-wide basis, regardless of hardware
platform or operating environment. The Company's FutureCORE
subsidiary provides process improvement and automation services,
primarily in the areas of patient care and laboratory services.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Interim Financial Information
The consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as
the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, such unaudited financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein.
(b) Significant Accounting Policies
A description of the Company's significant accounting
policies can be found in the footnotes to the Company's 1996
annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB dated March 27, 1997. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with those footnotes.
(c) Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
for each period. During periods of net loss, common stock
equivalents are not included in weighted average shares
outstanding.
(d) Supplemental Cash Flow Information
In January and February 1997, the Company issued 5,000
shares of restricted common stock valued at $30,000 to a vendor in
exchange for services rendered. The Company also granted options
to purchase 85,000 shares of the Company's common stock as
compensation to several consultants to the Company. These options
have a fair value of approximately $188,000 which is being
amortized into expense over the related service periods of one to
two years. As these are non-cash transactions, they have not been
presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
(e) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated
financial statements for 1996 to conform to the current year
presentation.
(3) Commitments and Contingency
(a) Universal Document Acquisitions, Public Offering and
Consulting Agreements
The Company's Universal Document Management Systems, Inc.
("Universal Document") subsidiary has entered into agreements with
two consulting firms to assist it in the identification and
recruitment of certain software resellers and integrators that
Universal Document may acquire or combine with, and to assist
Universal Document in an initial public offering of its common
stock. Currently, Universal Document has entered into letters of
intent with ten such companies to negotiate an acquisition
agreement with each company contingent upon a successful public
offering. Universal Document has also entered into an underwriting
agreement with a national investment banking firm to manage the
public offering. After the public offering, the Company would
retain a minority interest in Universal Document.
In connection with these potential acquisitions, Universal
Document has capitalized approximately $380,000 of direct,
incremental costs as of June 30, 1997 related to these potential
acquisitions and public offering for accountants', attorneys', and
consultants' fees ("acquisition costs") that will become a cost of
the acquired companies upon the completion of any acquisitions or
costs of the public offering. These acquisition costs are included
in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
Company has entered into a reimbursement agreement with Universal
Document whereby proceeds from the public offering will be used to
repay, within thirty days of the public offering, funds advanced
to Universal Document for these acquisition costs. In the event
that management decides to abandon the plans to acquire these
companies, then these acquisition costs will be charged to expense
in the period that decision is made. Similar costs incurred in
future periods will be treated in a consistent manner.
The Company has also entered into an agreement with one of the
two consulting firms whereby the Company will pay that firm $500,000 if
the public offering of Universal Document common stock occurs on or
before December 31, 1997. The payment, which is contingent upon the
public offering occurring, is payable within sixty days of the public
offering. This payment to the consulting firm is not subject to the
reimbursement agreement discussed in the preceding paragraph, and it
would be charged to expense in the period in which the public offering
occurs, if at all.
(a) Amendment of HWB, Inc. Purchase Agreement
Effective December 14, 1995, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of HWB, Inc. ("HWB"). HWB was the owner and licensor
of the principal software product of Universal Document. Under the terms
of the HWB Stock Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") dated December
29, 1995, the consideration for the shares of HWB consisted solely of
contingent consideration payable over three years based upon the revenue
performance of Universal Document over that period. Effective August 12,
1997, Universal Document and the former shareholders of HWB amended the
Purchase Agreement, contingent upon the public offering of Universal
Document common stock occurring, to provide for the following: (i) a
$390,000 payment due January 1, 1998 to the former shareholders as
consideration for the purchase of HWB stock, (ii) extension of the
period during which additional consideration contingent on the future
revenue performance of Universal Document could be earned from the year
ending December 31, 1998 to the year ending December 31, 2000, (iii)
reduction of the maximum future potential payments for contingent
consideration from $3,000,000 to $2,610,000, (iv) allowing Universal
Document common stock to be issued as part of the contingent
consideration payments rather than MedPlus common stock, and (v)
defining the audited net revenues used to measure the contingent
consideration payable. The $390,000 payment would be paid by Universal
Document after receiving a capital contribution from the Company for the
same amount. If the public offering does not occur, the amendment to
the Purchase Agreement would not become effective. The former majority
shareholder of HWB has been a director of the Company since 1994.
(c) DiaLogos Commitment and Guarantee
The Company signed a letter of agreement with DiaLogos,
Inc. ("DiaLogos"), dated July 12, 1996, which was subsequently
amended on January 31, 1997, in which the Company, on or before
March 31, 1998, agreed to either (a) pay $1.65 million to DiaLogos
in return for 75% of the common shares of DiaLogos, (b) secure a
funding commitment for DiaLogos' operations in the amount of $1.65
million from investors and/or lenders, or (c) pay a portion of the
$1.65 million as consideration for less than 75% of the common
shares of DiaLogos, and secure a funding commitment for the
remainder of the $1.65 million from investors or lenders. In the
event the Company secures a funding commitment from investors
and/or lenders, then DiaLogos will grant the Company the option to
purchase 75% of the common shares of DiaLogos less any shares
already purchased by the Company and/or investors identified by
the Company. The Company's option would be immediately
exercisable and remain in effect until December 31, 1999.
Under the agreement, the Company will continue to fund the
operations of DiaLogos until funding has been obtained as
discussed in the preceding paragraph. If the Company or
investors identified by the Company decide to directly fund any
portion of the $1.65 million, then, at the Company's or investors'
option, any amount paid to DiaLogos shall be considered payment
for a percentage of common shares of DiaLogos. If the Company
secures funding for DiaLogos from investors and/or lenders for
$1.65 million, then upon DiaLogos' receipt of such funding,
DiaLogos will immediately reimburse the Company for any funds
previously paid to it plus interest. Interest will be equal to
the prime rate announced by the Company's primary bank lender plus
1% per annum.
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had advanced approximately
$1,067,000 to DiaLogos which is included in other receivables,
noncurrent. The Company has also converted an additional
$110,000 of advances into an equity interest in DiaLogos' common
shares. This investment has been accounted for on the equity
method, and it has been included in other assets at the net amount
of $60,000 at June 30, 1997. The Company has arranged for
approximately $400,000 of funding for DiaLogos from investors,
which consist of officers and directors of the Company. It is the
Company's current intention to fulfill part or all of funding
commitment to DiaLogos, including funding already advanced,
through the current and/or other investors. DiaLogos provides
software, education and services to corporations that are
implementing object-oriented systems in the design and redesign of
their business processes.
(4) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per
Share, which establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for
computing earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No.
15. It replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share
with a presentation of basic earnings per share. It also requires
dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the
face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the
numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share
computation.
SFAS No. 128 will be effective for the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1997 and it
will require restatement of all prior period earnings per share
data presented. The implementation of SFAS No. 128 is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's calculation of
net income (loss) per share.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 were
$5,092,859, an increase of $2,320,311 or 84% over the $2,772,548
reported for the comparable period in 1996. Systems sales
increased 101% from the second quarter of 1996 primarily as a
result of increased sales from the Company's Data Management
(ChartMaxx and OptiMaxx products) and IntelliCode divisions. The
Company recorded sales of five new ChartMaxx systems during the
quarter. Service, consulting and other revenues increased 41% from
the second quarter of 1996 due to increased service revenues from
the Company's Data Management and IntelliCode divisions as the
number of installed sites of each division's products continues to
increase. The results for the second quarter of 1997, however,
reflected lower than expected consulting revenues for the
Universal Document Management Systems, Inc. ("Universal Document")
and FutureCORE, Inc. ("FutureCORE") subsidiaries.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 1997 was $2,393,555, or 47%
of revenues, compared to $1,451,294, or 52% of revenues, in the
second quarter of 1996. The gross profit percentage on systems
sales decreased from 59% in the second quarter of 1996 to 49% in
the second quarter of 1997 due to a higher proportion of lower
margin third party hardware and software relative to proprietary
software included in certain sales, lower software license only
sales, competitive pricing pressures and increased software
amortization. The gross profit percentage on service, consulting
and other revenues increased from 36% in the second quarter of
1996 to 39% in the second quarter of 1997. The increase in this
gross profit percentage was primarily a result of the increased
service revenues noted above partly offset by lower than expected
utilization of consulting and implementation personnel associated
with the Data Management, Universal Document and FutureCORE
product lines.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were $2,724,273
compared to $1,846,442 for 1996, an increase of 48%. Operating
expenses as a percent of sales decreased from 67% in the second
quarter of 1996 to 53% in the second quarter of 1997 primarily due
to the increased revenues noted above and the increased spending
levels noted below. The Company has continued to increase its
investment in its sales and marketing efforts, particularly for
its Data Management division, in the areas of direct sales,
channel partner programs, national accounts, and general marketing
activities as evidenced by the 74% increase in sales and marketing
expenditures over the second quarter of 1996. The increase is also
a result of an increase in personnel in the areas of product
development, customer support, administration and the Company's
subsidiaries, Universal Document and FutureCORE. General and
administrative expenses increased 9% over 1996.
Other income (expense) decreased to $28,164 of expense in the
second quarter of 1997 from income of $81,897 in the comparable
quarter of 1996. This decrease is primarily a result of the
decline in the Company's cash and investment securities balances
from 1996 and increased borrowings on its line of credit in 1997.
The Company's net loss for the second quarter of 1997 was $358,882
compared to a net loss in 1996 of $313,251. The increase in the
net loss is a result of lower gross profit margins and increased
operating expenses offsetting the effect of the increased
revenues.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $8,047,116,
an increase of $2,949,811 or 58% over the $5,097,305 reported for
the comparable period in 1996. Systems sales increased 76% over
the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily as a result of
increased sales from the Company's Data Management (ChartMaxx and
OptiMaxx products) and IntelliCode divisions. The Company
recorded sales of six new ChartMaxx systems during the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Service, consulting and other revenues
increased 23% from the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to
increased service revenues from the Company's Data Management and
IntelliCode divisions as the number of installed sites of each
division's products continues to increase. The results for the
first six months of 1997, however, reflected lower than expected
total revenues for all of the Company's product lines.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $3,580,512
or 44% of revenues, compared to $2,684,685, or 53% of revenues in
the second quarter of 1996. The gross profit percentage on systems
sales decreased from 56% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
48% for the six months ended 1997 due to a higher proportion of
lower margin third party hardware and software relative to
proprietary software included in certain sales, lower software
license only sales, competitive pricing pressures and increased
software amortization. The gross profit percentage on service,
consulting and other revenues decreased from 46% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 to 35% for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The decrease in this gross profit percentage was
primarily a result of lower than expected utilization of
consulting, installation, and implementation personnel associated
with the Data Management, Universal Document and FutureCORE
product lines partly offset by the increased service revenues
noted above.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
$5,239,227 compared to $3,524,678 for the comparable period of
1996, an increase of 49%. Operating expenses as a percent of sales
decreased from 69% in 1996 to 65% in 1997 primarily due to the
increased revenues noted above and the increased spending levels
noted below. The Company has continued to increase its investment
in its sales and marketing efforts, particularly for its Data
Management division, in the areas of direct sales, channel partner
programs, national accounts, and general marketing activities as
evidenced by the 78% increase in sales and marketing expenditures
over the comparable period of 1996. The increase is also a result
of an increase in personnel in the areas of product development,
customer support, administration and the Company's subsidiaries,
Universal Document and FutureCORE. General and administrative
expenses increased 10% over 1996.
Other income (expense) decreased to $16,312 of expense for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from income of $181,182 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. This decrease is primarily a result
of the decline in the Company's cash and investment securities
balances from 1996 and increased borrowings on its line of credit
in 1997.
The Company's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$1,675,027 compared to a net loss in 1996 of $658,811. The
increase in the net loss is a result of lower gross profit margins
and increased operating expenses offsetting the effect of the
increased revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's business requires significant amounts of working
capital to finance new product development, the expansion of its
sales and marketing organization and anticipated revenue growth.
The Company has financed its operations and working capital needs
through the sale of common stock, bank borrowings and capital
lease financing agreements. The Company's principal uses of cash
since inception have been for funding operations, capital
expenditures, research and development activities, and investments
in and advances to companies which are deemed to have strategic
value to the Company.
The Company's line of credit agreement with a bank permits the
Company to borrow a maximum of $10,000,000 subject to a defined
net worth formula. At June 30, 1997 the maximum amount available
under the line of credit was approximately $5,400,000 of which the
Company had borrowed approximately $1,480,000. The term of the
line of credit extends through December 31, 1998, and the line of
credit is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.
The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, available
line of credit, and cash generated from operations will be
sufficient to finance its expected growth and cash requirements
for at least the next 12 months provided that the public offering
of Universal Document common stock, discussed below, occurs and
the Company returns to profitability, or the Company modifies its
existing lending arrangements There can be no assurance that
additional financing will not be required sooner, or if required,
that it will be available on a timely basis or on terms
satisfactory to the Company. The Company's ability to meet its
cash requirements on a long-term basis will depend on profitable
operations, consistent and timely collections of accounts
receivable and additional sources of liquidity such as additional
equity offerings or debt financings.
Universal Document Transactions
The Company's Universal Document Management Systems, Inc.
("Universal Document") subsidiary has entered into agreements with
two consulting firms to assist it in the identification and
recruitment of certain software resellers and integrators that
Universal Document may acquire or combine with, and to assist
Universal Document in an initial public offering of its common
stock. Currently, Universal Document has entered into letters of
intent with ten such companies to negotiate an acquisition
agreement with each company contingent upon a successful public
offering. Universal Document has also entered into an underwriting
agreement with a national investment banking firm to manage the
public offering. After the public offering, the Company would
retain a minority interest in Universal Document.
In connection with these potential acquisitions, Universal
Document has capitalized approximately $380,000 of direct,
incremental costs as of June 30, 1997 related to these potential
acquisitions and public offering for accountants', attorneys', and
consultants' fees ("acquisition costs") that will become a cost of
the acquired companies upon the completion of any acquisitions or
costs of the public offering. These acquisition costs are included
in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
Company has entered into a reimbursement agreement with Universal
Document whereby proceeds from the public offering will be used to
repay, within thirty days of the public offering, funds advanced
to Universal Document for these acquisition costs. In the event
that management decides to abandon the plans to acquire these
companies, then these acquisition costs will be charged to expense
in the period that decision is made. Similar costs incurred in
future periods will be treated in a consistent manner.
DiaLogos Commitment and Guarantee
The Company signed a letter of agreement with DiaLogos, Inc.
("DiaLogos"), dated July 12, 1996, which was subsequently amended
on January 31, 1997, in which the Company, on or before March 31,
1998, agreed to either (a) pay $1.65 million to DiaLogos in return
for 75% of the common shares of DiaLogos, (b) secure a funding
commitment for DiaLogos' operations in the amount of $1.65 million
from investors and/or lenders, or (c) pay a portion of the $1.65
million as consideration for less than 75% of the common shares of
DiaLogos, and secure a funding commitment for the remainder of the
$1.65 million from investors or lenders. In the event the
Company secures a funding commitment from investors and/or
lenders, then DiaLogos will grant the Company the option to
purchase 75% of the common shares of DiaLogos less any shares
already purchased by the Company and/or investors identified by
the Company. The Company's option would be immediately
exercisable and remain in effect until December 31, 1999.
Under the agreement, the Company will continue to fund the
operations of DiaLogos until funding has been obtained as
discussed in the preceding paragraph. If the Company or
investors identified by the Company decide to directly fund any
portion of the $1.65 million, then, at the Company's or investors'
option, any amount paid to DiaLogos shall be considered payment
for a percentage of common shares of DiaLogos. If the Company
secures funding for DiaLogos from investors and/or lenders for
$1.65 million, then upon DiaLogos' receipt of such funding,
DiaLogos will immediately reimburse the Company for any funds
previously paid to it plus interest. Interest will be equal to
the prime rate announced by the Company's primary bank lender plus
1% per annum.
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had advanced approximately
$1,067,000 to DiaLogos which is included in other receivables,
noncurrent. The Company has also converted an additional
$110,000 of advances into an equity interest in DiaLogos' common
shares. This investment has been accounted for on the equity
method, and it has been included in other assets at the net amount
of $60,000 at June 30, 1997. The Company has arranged for
approximately $400,000 of funding for DiaLogos from investors,
which consist of officers and directors of the Company. It is the
Company's current intention to fulfill part or all of funding
commitment to DiaLogos, including funding already advanced,
through the current and/or other investors. DiaLogos provides
software, education and services to corporations that are
implementing object-oriented systems in the design and redesign of
their business processes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per
Share, which establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for
computing earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No.
15. It replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share
with a presentation of basic earnings per share. It also requires
dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the
face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the
numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share
computation.
SFAS No. 128 will be effective for the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1997 and it
will require restatement of all prior period earnings per share
data presented. The implementation of SFAS No. 128 is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's calculation of
net income (loss) per share.
