MARQUETTE MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JULY 31, 1998
(Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Basis of Presentation-
---------------------
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in the
opinion of the Company, adequate disclosures have been presented to make
the information not misleading, and all adjustments necessary to present
fair statements of the results of operations, financial position and cash
flows have been included. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements included in Marquette Medical Systems, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended April 30, 1998.
(2) Inventories-
-------------
Inventories consist of the following:
July 31, 1998 April 30, 1998
------------- --------------
Raw materials and component parts $ 31,513 $ 30,350
Work in process and finished goods 57,502 54,602
Demonstration inventory 21,911 24,051
-------- --------
$110,926 $109,003
======== ========
(3) Earnings per Share-
------------------
In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share," both basic net income per
common share and diluted net income per common share are reported. Basic
net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and diluted net income per common share is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
dilutive potential common shares assumed to be outstanding during the
period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares
consist of options to purchase common stock.
(4) Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components. The Company's only component of comprehensive
income is the foreign currency translation adjustment. The reconciliation
of net income to comprehensive net income is as follows:
Three Months Ended July 31,

Net Income $5,604 $ 4,301
Foreign currency translation 175 (2,080)
------ -------
Comprehensive net income $5,779 $ 2,221
====== =======
(5) New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," issued in
October, 1997 has been adopted by the Company for software transactions
entered into beginning May 1, 1998. SOP 97-2 supercedes SOP 91-1 and
provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
recognizing revenue of software transactions. The impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this
pronouncement is not material.
In June, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131
requires disclosures of business and geographic segments in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 131 for the quarter ending April 30, 1999. The Company is
evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on its
disclosures.
- 6 -
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard
requires that an entity recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities in
the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company
intends to adopt this standard in fiscal 2000. The adoption of this standard is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
ITEM 2- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------
Results of Operations - Three-Month Period Ended July 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 increased 8.7% to
$143.6 million from $132.1 million for the three-month period ended July 31,
1997. The Monitoring Group achieved sales growth of 21.3% for the current three-
month period to $78.0 million from $64.3 million. The Monitoring Group's strong
sales growth is attributable to the continued strong demand in the domestic
markets. While the modular bedside monitors continue to show strong growth, the
other types of adult care monitors, such as configured and telemetry systems,
also achieved strong sales growth in the current quarter. The Cardiology Group
experienced a decline in net sales of 7.6% in the three-month period ended July
31, 1998 from $43.4 million to $40.1 million. Approximately $1.5 million of the
decrease relates to a non-recurring sale in the prior year's quarter of
cardiology equipment to a distribution partner under terms of a joint
distribution agreement entered into last fiscal year. The remaining decrease in
net sales for the Cardiology Group relates to a softer market for cardiology
products, both domestically and internationally. The Supplies and Service unit
achieved sales growth of 4.5% in the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 as
compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 1997 to $25.5 million of net
sales from $24.4 million of net sales. International net sales for the current
quarter were 32.3% of total net sales as compared to 33.3% of total net sales
for the previous year's quarter.
Gross profit for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 increased 5.0% to
$71.2 million as compared to $67.8 million for the three-months ended July 31,
1997. Gross margin for the current quarter was 49.6% as compared to 51.3% for
last year's quarter. The decrease in the gross margin for the current quarter
relates mainly to the product mix. For the three-month period ended July 31,
1997, the product mix was weighted significantly more towards the higher margin
products.
Engineering expense for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 increased
13.8% to $14.5 million from $12.7 million for the same period in the previous
fiscal year. The increase relates to the Company's decision to add engineering
talent, especially in the clinical information system area, in the fourth
quarter of the previous fiscal year. The Company believes that this additional
commitment of resources to engineering will enhance the Company's competitive
advantage, especially in monitoring. Engineering expenses as a percentage of net
sales increased to 10.1% in the current quarter as compared to 9.6% in the
previous year's quarter.
Selling expenses for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 increased 3.7%
to $35.4 million from $34.2 million for the same period in the previous fiscal
year. The increase relates to the commissions payable with respect to the
increased net sales for the current quarter. As a percentage of net sales,
selling expenses decreased in the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 to
24.7% of net sales as compared to 25.9% of net sales in the previous year's
quarter. The decrease as a percentage of net sales is mainly attributable to the
actions taken by management during the previous fiscal year to increase the
efficiency of the sales force, such as a headcount reduction in the European
distribution channel during last fiscal year's second quarter.
- 7 -
General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended July 31,
1998 increased 4.4% to $12.2 million from $11.7 million for the same period in
the previous fiscal year. The increase relates to additional support costs
necessary to support the increased sales volume. General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales were 8.5% of net sales as compared to 8.9%
of net sales in the previous year's fiscal quarter.
Operating income for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 decreased 1.5%
to $9.1 million from $9.2 million for the same period in the previous fiscal
year. The decreased operating profit is mainly attributable to the decreased
gross margin.
Interest expense for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 was $1.3 million
as compared to $1.6 million for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The
decrease is attributable to the reduction of debt over the last year from cash
flow provided by operations.
Other income for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 was $1.3 million as
compared to $0.2 million in last year's quarter. The increase is related to the
sale of vacant land in Freiburg, Germany. The land which was sold has been held
for sale since the acquisition of E for M Corporation in 1996.
The provision for income taxes for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998
was $3.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 38.1%, as compared to $3.5
million, or an effective tax rate of 44.7% for the same period in the previous
fiscal year. The tax rate in last year's first quarter was high due to European
net operating losses generated in last year's quarter which could not be
benefited. In the current year's quarter, the Company was able to benefit some
of the net operating losses due to the improved profitability realized in Europe
during the quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Working capital was $165.8 million at July 31, 1998 as compared to $162.2
million at April 30, 1998. Accounts receivable increased by $8.0 million related
mainly to the increased sales.
During the three-month period ended July 31, 1998, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents decreased slightly to $5.0 million from $5.1 million as of April 30,
1998. During the first three-month period ended July 31, 1998, the Company
generated $2.4 million of cash flow from operations as compared to $2.0 million
of cash flow from operations in the three-month period ended July 31, 1997. The
primary source of cash from operations was the Company's net income before
depreciation and amortization of $11.1 million. The Company's primary use of
cash was a decrease in accrued liabilities of $4.8 million. This decrease
relates primarily to the Company's payment of its annual retirement plan
contribution in the quarter as well as the payment of year end bonuses in the
quarter. Accounts receivable and inventory were both a use of cash in the
quarter as both increased related to the increased sales volume.
Cash flow used in investing activities was $7.3 million for the three-month
period ended July 31, 1998 as compared to $8.1 million for the three-month
period ended July 31, 1997. This cash was used for the purchase of property,
plant and equipment. The decrease in cash flow used in investing activities
relates to a decrease in the capital expenditures for the Company's business
system conversion as the Company gets closer to the conversion dates.
- 8 -
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $4.9 million in the current
year's quarter as compared to $8.3 million in last year's quarter. The decrease
in the cash flow provided by financing activities relates mainly to management's
decision to reduce the Company's long-term debt by $7.5 million as compared to
the reduction of $4.5 million of the long-term debt in the previous fiscal
year's first quarter. With the $7.5 million reduction in long-term debt, the
Company's only remaining portion of long-term debt is the fixed-rate senior debt
that matures through August 29, 2008.
Management believes the Company has the financial resources to meet its short
term and long term cash requirements. Management believes its cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to continue to fund its current obligations as
well as fund the internal growth of the Company.
Year 2000
- ---------
The Company continues to assess the potential impact of the year 2000 on the
processing of date-sensitive information by the Company's computerized
information systems and on products sold as well as purchases from key suppliers
by the Company. The Company's internal systems will be year 2000 compliant with
the new business system mentioned above.
The Company's current products are year 2000 compliant. Previously sold products
are being evaluated in order to determine to what extent, if any, year 2000
compliance issues exist. Management believes that any previously sold products
which are not year 2000 compliant will be either made compliant with customer
upgrades or become obsolete.
Based upon the steps taken to date and the ongoing efforts to address this
issue, the Company does not believe the financial impact of the year 2000 issues
will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
However, if corrective actions are not made in a timely manner, year 2000
compliance issues could have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements. In order so this does not occur, the Company plans to devote all
resources necessary to resolve any significant year 2000 issues in a timely
manner.
