Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, the unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods shown on this report are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 29, 2001 included in Photoelectron Corporation's (the "Company" or "PeC") Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has experienced significant operating losses in each year since its inception, due primarily to substantial research and development expenditures. As of September 28, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61 million and expects to continue to incur losses until such time as its commercialization efforts yield offsetting revenues. There can be no assurance that the Company's products will ever gain commercial acceptance, or that the Company will ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The Company's ability to achieve profitable operations will be dependent in a large part on whether it can successfully commercialize its products and make the transition to a manufacturing and marketing company. The Company believes that its existing cash and investments together with anticipated revenues will be sufficient for at least the remainder of the year. The Company's primary source of liquidity in 2002 is the $5,000,000 of proceeds from the 6% Debenture issued in December 2001. The Company has reached agreements in principle with Carl Zeiss and PYC Corporation to provide $500,000 each in a bridge financing, which the Company anticipates will provide sufficient cash to continue operations through the first quarter of 2003. The Company anticipates that the $500,000 to be provided by Carl Zeiss will be in the form of advance purchase orders under the existing distribution agreement between the Company and Carl Zeiss, and that the $500,000 to be provided by PYC Corporation will be under a line of credit secured by certain of the Company's assets. In order to continue operations, the Company will have to raise additional capital in fiscal 2003 unless revenues are greater than anticipated. The Company is currently reviewing potential financing options for the upcoming year. There is no assurance that it will be able to find additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing its financial statements are set forth in Note 1 to the financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2001. The Company has made no changes to these policies during this quarter. 2. Net Loss Per Share The computation of diluted earnings per share for September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 excludes the effect of assuming the exercise of certain outstanding stock options and the conversion of convertible securities because the effect would be anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss during the period. As of September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001, there were 907,367 and 980,707 of such options outstanding, respectively, with exercise prices ranging from $2.125-$9.00 per share and with expiration dates ranging from March 18, 2003 to July 31, 2012. As of September 28, 2002, there were securities convertible into 4,953,596 shares of common stock, with conversion prices ranging from $2.45-$4.74 per share and with expiration dates ranging from May 1, 2003 to September 27, 2007. As of September 29, 2001, there were securities convertible into 3,459,055 shares of common stock, with conversion prices ranging from $2.45-$4.74 per share and with expiration dates ranging from January 27, 2002 to June 30, 2005. 6 3. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) approximates the net loss for all periods presented. 4. Commitments and Contingencies On May 22, 2002, the Company entered into a lease agreement with the American Power Conversion Corporation for approximately 23,700 square feet of space at 9 Executive Park Drive in North Billerica, Massachusetts. In July 2002, the Company relocated to the new facility which now serves as the principal offices of the Company. The term of the lease agreement expires on August 31, 2007, but may be extended by the Company for an additional five-year term. The Company has commitments under this lease agreement to make payments of approximately $108,625 in 2002, $260,700 in each of 2003 through 2006, and $152,075 in 2007. 5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements On December 30, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121 and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB 30 related to the disposal of a segment of a business. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and is effective for such activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have any effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position upon adoption. 6. Other Events Effective August 21, 2002, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Carl-Zeiss-Ziftung, dba Carl Zeiss, a trust foundation organized and existing under the laws of Germany ("Carl Zeiss"). The Distribution Agreement appoints Carl Zeiss as exclusive worldwide (other than Japan) distributor of the Company's Photon Radiosurgery System ("PRS") and the Company's INTRABEAM(TM) intra-operative radiosurgery system that combines the PRS with a counterbalanced surgical support stand and a set of applicators. Also included are all improvements, redesigns, successor models and other developments to such products and any device, component, part, accessory or consumable in or intended for use with any such product. The Distribution Agreement replaces the Development and Distribution Agreement with Carl Zeiss Oberkochen that expired August 21, 2002. Carl Zeiss has committed to certain minimum purchase requirements during the term of the Distribution Agreement Under an agreement with Cordis Corporation ("Cordis") dated as of February 5, 2001 (the "2001 Agreement"), the Company agreed to develop for Cordis a miniature x-ray source for intravascular radiation therapy (the "X-Ray System") that would be subsequently distributed by Cordis. Effective September 6, 2002, the Company and Cordis amended the 2001 Agreement (a) to grant the Company sole authority to determine the amount of resources it will devote from time to time to its development efforts under the 2001 Agreement, and (b) if the Company completes the product development efforts contemplated by the 2001 Agreement, to grant Cordis the option to proceed with the terms of the 2001 Agreement or, if Cordis elects not to proceed with the 2001 Agreement, to grant the Company the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute the X-Ray System. 7 PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Overview Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "expects," "anticipates," "believes" and words of similar import, constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those referred to in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001, that could cause actual future results and events to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Photoelectron Corporation ("PeC" or the "Company") is a technology company dedicated to developing, manufacturing and marketing miniature x-ray systems for multiple market applications. Established in 1989, the Company initially focused on research and development for the miniaturization of an x-ray system for cancer treatment. The Company has since expanded its development efforts and is now creating and adapting miniature x-ray systems for a variety of applications in healthcare and non-healthcare related markets. The Company has established an intellectual property portfolio of twenty-three (23) U.S. patents and has twelve (12) additional U.S. patents pending, all of which relate to the Company's core technology and use. The Company's business strategy is to identify opportunities in which its patented core technology can be used to gain access to new markets by means of strategic alliances with industry leaders. This strategy allows the Company to foster the development of multiple applications of its technology, while remaining focused on its core expertise of developing, manufacturing and marketing miniature x-ray systems. By joining with one or more industry leaders to develop an x-ray system to satisfy the needs of a specific market, the Company gains market and application expertise without having to internalize many of the costs and organizational overhead necessary to support the specific application. Leveraging the market expertise of these strategic relationships allows the Company to rapidly bring the technology to new markets. The Company plans to identify additional market opportunities that can both be linked to the core technology and present the opportunity to access the market through a strategic partner with application expertise and the sales and marketing organization necessary to drive market acceptance. The Company is currently pursuing initiatives in the medical and industrial markets with miniature x-ray systems designed for intra-operative radiation therapy, radiosurgery, intravascular radiation therapy, brachytherapy, and x-ray fluorescence analysis. On August 12, 2002, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2002. The decision to engage Deloitte & Touche LLP was approved by the Company's Audit Committee of the Board of Directors under authority of the Company's Board of Directors. Effective August 21, 2002, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Carl-Zeiss-Ziftung, dba Carl Zeiss, a trust foundation organized and existing under the laws of Germany ("Carl Zeiss"). The Distribution Agreement appoints Carl Zeiss as exclusive worldwide (other than Japan) distributor of the Company's Photon Radiosurgery System ("PRS") and the Company's INTRABEAM(TM) intra-operative radiosurgery system that combines the PRS with a counterbalanced surgical support stand and a set of applicators. Also included are all improvements, redesigns, successor models and other developments to such products and any device, component, part, accessory or consumable in or intended for use with any such product. The Distribution Agreement replaces the Development and Distribution Agreement with Carl Zeiss Oberkochen that expired August 21, 2002. Carl Zeiss has committed to certain minimum purchase requirements during the term of the Distribution Agreement. Under an agreement with Cordis Corporation ("Cordis") dated as of February 5, 2001 (the "2001 Agreement"), the Company agreed to develop for Cordis a miniature x-ray source for intravascular radiation therapy (the "X-Ray System") that would be subsequently distributed by Cordis. Effective September 6, 2002, the Company and Cordis amended the 2001 Agreement (a) to grant the Company sole authority to determine the amount of resources it will devote from time to time to its development efforts under the 2001 Agreement, and (b) if the Company completes the product development efforts contemplated by the 2001 Agreement, to grant Cordis the option to proceed with the terms of the 2001 Agreement or, if Cordis elects not to proceed with the 2001 Agreement, to grant the Company the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute the X-Ray System. 8 The Company has experienced significant operating losses in each year since its inception, due primarily to substantial research and development expenditures. As of September 28, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61 million and expects to continue to incur losses until such time as its commercialization efforts yield offsetting revenues. There can be no assurance that the Company's products will ever gain commercial acceptance, or that the Company will ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The Company's ability to achieve profitable operations will be dependent in a large part on whether it can successfully commercialize its products and make the transition to a manufacturing and marketing company. The Company anticipates that its sales and marketing efforts through its existing sales and distribution channels will continue to increase sales of its products in the current year. Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 Revenue. The Company had revenues of $448,258 in the third quarter of 2002, as compared with $157,585 in the third quarter of 2001. The 2002 third quarter revenue reflects the sale of an INTRABEAM system through the Company's distributor, Carl Zeiss, to a leading neurological center in Poland combined with the sale of an INTRABEAM system upgrade to the Middlesex Hospital, London. In addition, during the quarter, the Company continued to achieve sales of LASER-X(TM), the Company's x-ray source for industrial x-ray fluorescence, as well as Dosimetry products for the characterization of small radiation sources. The 2001 revenue reflects the sale of a core PRS to the University of Heidleberg, Germany, combined with sales of the LASER-X industrial x-ray source. Gross margin. Gross margins for the third quarter of 2002 totaled $163,125 (36%) as compared to $66,760 (42%) for the third quarter of 2001. The increase in gross margin dollars reflects the $290,673 in increased revenue for the quarter. The decrease in gross margin percentage is due to product mix and the discounting of the sale price of the INTRABEAM system upgrade to the Middlesex Hospital, London. Research and development expenses. The Company's research and development expenses decreased by $263,536 from $1,236,850 in the third quarter of 2001 to $973,314 in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease primarily represents the completion of certain development projects coupled with lower expenditures associated with the development of the miniature x-ray sources for intravascular radiation therapy (X-SEED(TM)) and x-ray fluorescence systems (LASER-X). Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $421,746 from $1,132,777 in the third quarter of 2001 to $711,031 in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in direct marketing programs and personnel as a result of the distribution arrangement in place with Carl Zeiss. Interest income. Interest income decreased by $18,328 from $31,284 in the third quarter of 2001 to $12,956 in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease resulted from a decrease in amounts invested by the Company in conjunction with lower market interest rates. Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $89,365 from $241,082 in the third quarter of 2001 to $330,447 in the third quarter of 2002. The change resulted from an increase in amounts borrowed, which is primarily attributable to the sale by the Company of a $5,000,000 6% senior convertible debenture to PYC Corporation in December 2001. Nine Months Ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 Revenue. The Company had revenues of $1,300,891 in the first nine months of 2002, as compared with $760,365 in the first nine months of 2001. The 2002 revenue reflects increased sales of the Company's INTRABEAM system for intra-operative radiation therapy, LASER-X industrial x-ray source and Dosimetry products. Gross margin. Gross margins for the nine months ended September 28, 2002 totaled $573,597 (44%) as compared to $280,637 (37%) for the nine months ended September 29, 2001. The increase in gross margin dollars reflects the $540,526 in increased revenue for the nine month period. The increase in gross margin percentage is due to product mix and favorable system pricing as compared to the same period in 2001. Research and development expenses. The Company's research and development expenses decreased by $97,252 from $3,040,524 in the first nine months of 2001 to $2,943,272 in the first nine months of 2002. The decrease primarily represents the completion of certain development projects coupled with lower expenditures associated with the continued development of the miniature x-ray sources for intravascular radiation therapy (X-SEED) and x-ray fluorescence systems (LASER-X). Selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,219,082 from $3,562,633 in the first nine months of 2001 to $2,343,551 in the first nine months of 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in direct marketing programs and personnel as a result of the distribution arrangement in place with Carl Zeiss. Interest income. Interest income decreased by $142,011 from $191,963 in the first nine months of 2001 to $49,952 in the first nine months of 2002. The decrease resulted from a decrease in amounts invested by the Company in conjunction with lower market interest rates. 9 Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $222,726 from $761,274 in the first nine months of 2001 to $984,000 in the first nine months of 2002. The change resulted from an increase in amounts borrowed, which is primarily attributable to the sale by the Company of a $5,000,000 6% senior convertible debenture to PYC Corporation in December 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has expended substantial funds to research and develop the PRS, INTRABEAM, LASER-X, X-SEED and other potential products, conduct clinical trials, pursue regulatory approvals, establish commercial scale manufacturing in its own facilities or in the facilities of others, and market the PRS, INTRABEAM, LASER-X, X-SEED and other products. The Company anticipates it will continue to expend substantial funds in the future on such activities as such funds become available. Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations through the issuance of convertible debt and equity in a series of private placements totaling approximately $36.6 million and its initial public offering with net proceeds of approximately $16.8 million. Consolidated working capital was $2,279,493 at September 28, 2002, compared with $6,605,311 at December 29, 2001. Included in working capital are cash and cash equivalents of $1,451,482 at September 28, 2002, compared with $4,007,547 at December 29, 2001. During the first nine months of 2002, the Company used $3,985,059 of cash for operating activities as compared to $5,461,133 for the first nine months of 2001. The Company used $148,197 of cash in the first nine months of 2002 for lab and production equipment, and leasehold improvements. The Company does not expect to expend significant funds for capital equipment for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Company received an aggregate of $0 and $9,221 of cash from the exercise of stock options to purchase common stock for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, respectively. In June 2000, the Company issued in a private placement $10,458,909 of 10% senior convertible debentures. The Company used the net proceeds of the private placement for general and administrative expenses, refinancing of $2,312,755 of short-term debt bridge financing provided by PYC Corporation and $786,153 due under an 8% Subordinated Convertible Demand Note to Peter M. Nomikos, and for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to support the accelerated testing and marketing of the Company's new products. The holders of the 10% senior convertible debentures are entitled to receive interest payments at the rate of 10% per annum on the outstanding principal amount of the debentures. At the option of the Company, interest may be paid when due by adding the amount payable to the outstanding principal of the debentures. The principal amount of the debentures, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on May 1, 2005. The holders of the debentures have the option, at any time prior to May 1, 2005, to convert the debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $4.00 per share. In the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, holders of $138,957 and $415,537 worth of debentures, respectively, exercised their option to convert such amounts of debentures into shares of the Company's common stock. On February 5, 2001, Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation purchased 904,762 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.8 million. On December 17, 2001, the Company raised $5,000,000 in a private placement of a 6% senior convertible debenture (the "6% Debenture") to PYC Corporation, whose advisor, Peter M. Nomikos, is the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The entire financial interest in PYC Corporation is held by adult members of Mr. Nomikos's family. The Company is using the net proceeds of the private placement for general and administrative expenses and for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to fund intra-operative radiation therapy for breast cancer clinical trials, for the sales and marketing of PRS400(TM) system cancer treatment products, for the development of an X-SEED intravascular radiation therapy device, for brachytherapy product development, for the general support of clinical trials, and for further development of industrial applications and distribution alliances. PYC Corporation is entitled to receive interest payments at the rate of 6% per annum on the outstanding principal amount of the 6% Debenture. At the option of the Company, interest may be paid when due by adding the amount payable to the outstanding principal amount of the 6% Debenture. The principal amount of the 6% Debenture, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, is due and payable on May 1, 2005. The holder of the 6% Debenture has the option, at any time prior to May 1, 2005, to convert the 6% Debenture, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $3.25 per share. If any shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock are issued at an effective price 10 lower than $3.25 per share (as adjusted and subject to certain exclusions), then the conversion price of the 6% Debenture will be automatically adjusted to that lower price. The Company may redeem any portion of the 6% Debenture at any time, provided that the average closing bid price per share of the Company's common stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the date of the redemption notice is at least 175% of the conversion price. The redemption price will be 105% of the outstanding principal amount of the 6% Debenture being redeemed, along with accrued but unpaid interest. In addition, so long as 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the 6% Debenture originally issued is outstanding and subject to certain exceptions, the Company may not incur more than $10,000,000 in indebtedness after December 17, 2001. Prior to entering into the transaction with PYC Corporation, the Company attempted over a period of several months to raise funds from other sources. After considering other financing alternatives, including a proposal from another stockholder of the Company, the Board of Directors determined that the terms and conditions of the financing proposal from PYC Corporation were more favorable to the Company than the terms and conditions available from the other stockholder or from non-related parties. The securities sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any state. The offering was made in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration provisions afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission by December 31, 2002 a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the resale of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6% Debenture. The Company maintains medical product liability insurance policies which the Company believes contain reasonable deductibles and other ordinary and customary provisions. The Company believes that these policies cover such risks in such amounts as are reasonable and prudent under the circumstances, and the Company does not anticipate that claims under these policies, if any, will have a material adverse impact on the Company's liquidity or capital resources. Prior to commercial sale of its products, the Company obtained product liability insurance covering the commercial use of its products. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on a variety of factors, including the time and costs involved in obtaining new and expanding existing United States Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory approvals, the results of the Company's ongoing clinical trials, the market acceptance of the PRS, INTRABEAM, LASER-X, X-SEED and any other Company products, the expense and results of the Company's continued scientific research and development programs, the time and costs expended in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims, and the development of competing technologies. The Company believes that its existing cash and investments together with anticipated revenues will be sufficient for at least the remainder of the year. The Company's primary source of liquidity in 2002 is the $5,000,000 of proceeds from the 6% Debenture issued in December 2001. The Company has reached agreements in principle with Carl Zeiss and PYC Corporation to provide $500,000 each in a bridge financing, which the Company anticipates will provide sufficient cash to continue operations through the first quarter of 2003. The Company anticipates that the $500,000 to be provided by Carl Zeiss will be in the form of advance purchase orders under the existing distribution agreement between the Company and Carl Zeiss, and that the $500,000 to be provided by PYC Corporation will be under a line of credit secured by certain of the Company's assets. In order to continue operations, the Company will have to raise additional capital in fiscal 2003 unless revenues are greater than anticipated. The Company is currently reviewing potential financing options for the upcoming year. There is no assurance that it will be able to find additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. The Company has commitments under an operating lease agreement for office space to make payments of approximately $108,625 in 2002, $260,700 in each of 2003 through 2006, and $152,075 in 2007. The Company's senior convertible debentures, in the outstanding principal amount of $15,592,796 as of September 28, 2002, are due and payable on May 1, 2005. Critical Accounting Policies In the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001, the Company's most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which its financial status depends were identified as those relating to revenue recognition, warranty reserve and inventory valuation. The Company considered the disclosure requirements of Financial Release ("FR") 60 ("FR-60") regarding critical accounting policies and FR-61 regarding liquidity and capital resources, certain trading activities and related party/certain other disclosures, and concluded that nothing materially changed during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 that would warrant further disclosure under these releases. Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. There have been no material changes in the market risk associated with the Company's financial instruments. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which may adversely affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its regular operating and financial activities. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and is not a party to any leveraged financial instruments. 11 Item 4: Controls and Procedures The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15-d-14(c)) as of a date, October 17, 2002 (the "Evaluation Date"), within 90 days before the filing date of this quarterly report, have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) is made known to them by others within the Company. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date. 12 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 1: Legal Proceedings Not Applicable Item 2: Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds On July 9, 2002, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Organization with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth, which amendment increased the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000.
