NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Third Wave
Technologies, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
(2) Net Income (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, basic net income (loss) per share has been computed using the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
respective periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share takes into account the
weighted average shares from options that could potentially dilute basic net
income per share in the future. Shares associated with stock options are
excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and three months ended
June 30, 2004 because they are anti-dilutive.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income
(loss) per share:

(3) Stock-Based Compensation
Third Wave has stock-based employee compensation plans. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for
stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. We have chosen to
continue using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
interpretations, in accounting for our stock option plans.
Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at the grant
date for awards under the plans based on the provisions of SFAS No. 123, our
SFAS No. 123 pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would
have been as follows:

(7) Derivative Instruments
We sell products in a number of countries throughout the world. In the quarters
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we sold certain products with the resulting
accounts receivable denominated in Japanese Yen. Simultaneous with such sales
and purchase order commitments, we purchased foreign currency forward contracts
to manage the risk associated with foreign currency collections in the normal
course of business. These derivative instruments have maturities of less than
one year and are intended to offset the effect of transaction gains and losses,
which arise when collections in a foreign currency are received after the asset
is generated. There were no contracts outstanding at June 30, 2005. The changes
in the fair value of the derivatives and the loss or gain on the hedged asset
relating to the risk being hedged are recorded in earnings.
(8) Amortizable Intangible Assets
Amortizable intangible assets consist of the following:

(9) Restructuring and Impairment of Long Lived Assets
During the third quarter of 2002, we announced a restructuring plan designed to
simplify product development and manufacturing operations and reduce operating
expenses. The restructuring charges recorded were determined based upon plans
submitted by the Company's management and approved by the Board of Directors
using information available at the time. The restructuring charge included $2.5
million for the consolidation of facilities, $500,000 for prepayment penalties
mainly under capital lease arrangements, an impairment charge of $7.2 million
for abandoned leasehold improvements and equipment to be sold and $900,000 of
other costs related to the restructuring. The Company also recorded a $1.1
million charge within cost of goods sold related to inventory that was
considered obsolete based upon the restructuring plan.
The facilities charge contained estimates based on the Company's potential to
sublease a portion of its corporate office. The Company has offered the
corporate office space for sublease, but has been unable to sublease the space.
Accordingly, the Company decreased its estimate of the amount of sublease income
it expects to receive. The estimated lease and operating expenses were also
reduced, based on a portion of the office space being utilized.
The following table shows the changes in the restructuring accrual since
December 31, 2004. The remaining restructuring balance of $1.0 million is for
rent payments on a non-cancelable lease, net of estimated sublease income, which
will continue to be paid over the lease term through 2011. The current portion
of the accrual is included in other accrued liabilities on the balance sheets
and the remainder is included in other long-term liabilities.

OVERVIEW
Third Wave Technologies, Inc. is a leading molecular diagnostics company. We
believe our proprietary Invader(R) chemistry, a novel, proprietary molecular
chemistry is easier to use, more accurate and cost-effective, and enables higher

companies, academic research centers and major health care providers.
Third Wave markets a growing number of products including analyte-specific
reagents (ASRs). These ASRs allow certified clinical reference laboratories to
create assays to test for hepatitis C virus, cystic fibrosis and other inherited
disorders, including the Factor V Leiden and a host of other mutations
associated with cardiovascular and other diseases. The Company has developed and
plans to continue to develop a menu of molecular diagnostic products for
clinical applications that include genetic testing, pharmacogenetics,
oncology/chromosomal analysis, and infectious disease/women's health. The
Company also has a number of other Invader(R) products including those for
research, agricultural and other applications.
Our financial results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to
fluctuations in the demand for our products, timing of new product introductions
and deliveries made during the quarter, the timing of research, development and
grant revenues, and increases in spending, including expenses related to our
product development. As a result, annual financial results are more indicative
of the Company's performance than quarterly results and results of operations in
any quarterly period may not be indicative of results likely to be realized in
the subsequent quarterly periods.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. We review the accounting policies we use in reporting our
financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories,
equipment and leasehold improvements and intangible assets. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Results may differ from these
estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based
our assumptions. These estimates and judgments are reviewed by management on an
ongoing basis, and by the Audit Committee at the end of each quarter prior to
the public release of our financial results. We believe the following critical
accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in
the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES.
The restructuring and other charges resulting from the restructuring plan in the
third quarter of 2002 have been recorded in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3,
"Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs
to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)",
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100, "Restructuring and Impairment
9
Charges," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The
restructuring charge was comprised primarily of costs to consolidate facilities,
impairment charges for abandoned leasehold improvements and equipment to be sold
or abandoned, prepayment penalties related mainly to capital lease obligations
on equipment to be sold or abandoned, and other costs related to the
restructuring. The remaining accrued restructuring balance is for rent payments
on a non-cancelable lease, net of estimated sublease income. In calculating the
cost to consolidate the facilities, we estimated the future lease and operating
costs to be paid until the leases are terminated and the amount, if any, of
sublease receipts for each location. This required us to estimate the timing and
costs of each lease to be terminated, the amount of operating costs, and the
timing and rate at which we might be able to sublease the site. To form our
estimates for these costs, we performed an assessment of the affected facilities
and considered the current market conditions for each site. Our assumptions on
the lease termination payments, operating costs until terminated, and the
offsetting sublease receipts may turn out to be incorrect and our actual cost
may be materially different from our estimates.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS--IMPAIRMENT
Equipment, leasehold improvements and amortizable identifiable intangible assets
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For assets held and used, if
the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value
of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference
between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. For
assets removed from service and held for sale, we estimate the fair market value
of such assets and record an adjustment if fair value less costs to sell is
lower than carrying value. In the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and June 30,
2004, we recorded an impairment charge on certain equipment of $0.2 million and
$0.8 million, respectively.
Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not
amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests under SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The annual impairment tests are
completed in the quarter ended September 30.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We sell products in a number of countries throughout the world. During 2005 and
2004, we sold certain products with the resulting accounts receivable
denominated in Japanese Yen. Simultaneous with such sales and purchase order
commitments, we purchased foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risk
associated with collections of receivables denominated in foreign currencies in
the normal course of business. These derivative instruments have maturities of
less than one year and are intended to offset the effect of transaction gains
and losses. There were no contracts outstanding at June 30, 2005. The changes in
the fair value of the derivatives and the loss or gain on the hedged asset
relating to the risk being hedged are recorded in earnings.
INVENTORIES--SLOW MOVING AND OBSOLESCENCE
Significant management judgment is required to determine the reserve for
obsolete or excess inventory. Inventory on hand may exceed future demand either
because of process improvements or technology advancements, the amount on hand
is more than can be used to meet future need, or estimates of shelf lives may
change. We currently consider all inventory that we expect will have no activity
within one year as well as any additional specifically identified inventory to
be subject to a provision for excess inventory. We also provide for the total
value of inventories that we determine to be obsolete based on criteria such as
changing manufacturing processes and technologies. At June 30, 2005, our
inventory reserves were at $0.7 million, or 25% of our $2.8 million total gross
inventories.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of $5.8 million
represented a decrease of $6.8 million, compared to revenues of $12.6 million
for the corresponding period of 2004. Revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2005 of $12.9 million represented a decrease of $15 million, compared to
revenues of $27.9 million for the corresponding period of 2004.
Product revenues decreased to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
from $12.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Product revenues
decreased to $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $27.7
million in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in product sales
during the three and six months ending June 30, 2005 was primarily due to a
decrease in
10
sales of genomic research product to a major Japanese research institute
partially offset by an increase in clinical molecular diagnostic sales compared
to the corresponding periods of 2004. As we continue to develop and expand our
line of molecular diagnostic products, we expect our molecular diagnostic
revenues to increase.
Significant Customer. We generated $3.5 million, or 27% of our revenues, from
sales to a major Japanese research institute for use by several end-users during
the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $19.1 million, or 69% of our
revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2004. We believe this customer
will continue to purchase Company products. However, the timing and amount of
such purchases will be influenced by the Japanese government funding process and
other factors beyond the Company's control, as a result of which the timing and
amount of such purchases are unpredictable and unknown to Third Wave.
COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold consists of materials used in the
manufacture of product, depreciation on manufacturing capital equipment,
salaries and related expenses for management and personnel associated with our
manufacturing and quality control departments and amortization of licenses and
settlement fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, cost of goods sold
decreased to $1.8 million, compared to $3.7 million for the corresponding period
of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cost of goods sold decreased to
$3.8 million, compared to $7.9 million for the corresponding period of 2004. The
decrease in the six month period was primarily due to the decrease in sales
volume. We expect gross margin to improve as molecular diagnostic revenues
increase.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, material costs for assays and
product development, fees paid to consultants, depreciation and facilities costs
and other expenses related to the design, development, testing and enhancement
of our products and acquisition of technologies used or to be used in our
products. Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were
$2.0 million, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were
$4.5 million, compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a
decrease in personnel related expenses. We will continue to invest in research
and development, and expenditures in this area may increase as we expand our
product development efforts.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily
of salaries and related personnel costs for our sales and marketing management
and field sales force, commissions, office support and related costs, and travel
and entertainment. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 were $3.2 million, an increase of $0.5 million, compared to $2.7
million for the corresponding period of 2004. Selling and marketing expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $6.5 million, an increase of $1.2
million, compared to $5.3 million for the corresponding period of 2004. The
increase in selling and marketing expenses was due to an increase in personnel
related expenses compared to the same period in 2004. We anticipate selling and
marketing expenses to continue to be at or above 2004 levels for the remainder
of 2005 and beyond.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance and other
administrative personnel, legal and professional fees, office support and
depreciation. General and administrative expenses increased to $4.3 million in
the three months ended June 30, 2005, from $3.2 million for the corresponding
period in 2004. General and administrative expenses increased to $8.0 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $5.6 million for the corresponding
period in 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to an increase in legal expenses as a result of the patent
infringement lawsuit against Stratagene. The Company anticipates a continued
high level legal expenses until the lawsuit is resolved. As the Company moves
towards consideration of FDA cleared or approved products, there will be
increased expenses attributed to these activities.
IMPAIRMENT. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 an impairment charge
of $0.2 million was recorded for the loss on equipment that was sold, compared
to $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 for equipment
written down to fair value.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was
$0.4 million, compared to $0.1 million for the corresponding period of 2004.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.7 million compared
to $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in interest
income was due to higher interest rates compared to 2004.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and
2004 was approximately $0.1 million. Interest expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 was $0.2 million compared to $0.1 million in the corresponding
period of 2004.
11
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE): Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005
was $0.1 million, compared to other income of $0.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2004. Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
$0.3 million, compared to other expense of $0.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private
placements of equity securities, research grants from federal and state
government agencies, payments from strategic collaborators, equipment loans,
capital leases, product sales, a convertible note and an initial public
offering. As of June 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments of $61.5 million.
Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $5.4
million, compared to net cash provided by operations of $10.3 million in the
corresponding period in 2004. The decrease in cash provided by operations was
primarily due to an increase in operating losses, as a result of decreased
revenue and increased legal expenses due to the patent infringement lawsuit
against Stratagene.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
$0.8 million, compared $0.1 million in the corresponding period in 2004.
Investing activities included capital expenditures of $0.2 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Investing activities included proceeds from
the sale of equipment of $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $0.1 million in the corresponding period in 2004. Investing
activities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 also included a net cash usage
of $0.8 million to purchase short-term investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
2004. Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ending June 30,
2005 consisted of proceeds from the sale of common stock under the Company's
employee stock purchase plan and stock option plans of $0.3 million compared to
$0.8 million in the corresponding period of 2004. In the six months ended June
30, 2005, there was $0.8 million of proceeds from long-term debt compared to
$0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004. Additionally, in the six
months ended June 30, 2005, $0.9 million was used to repurchase 218,000 shares
of company stock, $56,000 was used to repay debt, and $42,000 for capital lease
obligations. The Company has a $9,500,000 note payable with a bank due on August
14, 2005, bearing annual interest at 3.36%. The Company intends to renew this
term note upon expiration. The Company also entered into three additional notes
payable in the original amounts of $200,000, $270,000, and $800,000. The notes
have a final maturity date of July 1, 2007, October 1, 2009, and July 1, 2008,
bear annual interest at 4.25%, 4.93%, and 5.2%, respectively, and require
monthly principal and interest payments. The borrowings under the notes payable
are secured by short-term investments consisting of certificates of deposit, of
$10,570,000. The Company has an available and unused $1,300,000 letter of credit
with the same bank that expires on September 1, 2005.
The Company believes that its current cash reserves together with its ability to
establish borrowing arrangements will be sufficient to support the short-term
and long-term liquidity requirements for current operations (including annual
capital expenditures). However, we cannot assure you that our business or
operations will not change in a manner that would consume available resources
more rapidly than anticipated. We also cannot assure you that we will not
require substantial additional funding before we can achieve profitable
operations. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the
following:
- our progress with our research and development programs;
- our level of success in selling our products and technologies;
- our ability to establish and maintain successful collaborative
relationships;
- the costs we incur in enforcing and defending our patent claims
and other intellectual property rights; and
- the timing of purchases of additional capital expenditures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk is currently confined to changes in foreign exchange
and interest rates. The securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged
and, due to their short-term nature, are subject to minimal interest rate risk.
We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Due to the short-term
maturities of our investments, we do not believe that an increase in market
rates would have any negative impact on the realized value of our investment
portfolio.
To reduce foreign exchange risk, we selectively use financial instruments. Our
earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against
foreign currencies as a result of the sales of our products in foreign markets.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are used to hedge against the effects of such
fluctuations. Our policy prohibits the trading of financial instruments for
profit. A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative financial
instruments is included in the notes to the financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered
by this report, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. As
required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 the
Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred
during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change
during the quarter covered by this report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising
out of our operations in the usual course of business.
On September 15, 2004, Third Wave filed suit against Stratagene
Corporation in the United States District Court for the Western District
of Wisconsin. The complaint alleges patent infringement by Stratagene
Corporation of at least several claims in each of the two Third Wave
asserted patents concerning the Company's proprietary Invader
technology. Discovery is currently underway and trial is scheduled for
August 22, 2005.
On May 6, 2005, Stratagene Corporation filed suit against Third Wave in
the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The
complaint alleges patent infringement by Third Wave of claims of two
Stratagene patents. The complaint, which does not specify any allegedly
infringing products, has not been served on Third Wave as of the date of
this filing.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
(a) None
(b) Use of Proceeds. Pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as
amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and declared
effective February 9, 2001, (Registration No. 333-42694), we commenced
our initial public offering of 7,500,000 registered shares of common
stock, $0.001 par value, on February 9, 2001, at a price of $11.00 per
share (the
13
"Offering"). The Offering was completed on February 14, 2001, and all of
the 7,500,000 shares were sold, generating gross proceeds of
approximately $82,500,000. The managing underwriters for the Offering
were Lehman Brothers Inc., CIBC World Markets, Dain Rauscher
Incorporated, Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, and Fidelity Capital
Markets.
In connection with the Offering, we incurred approximately $5.8 million
in underwriting discounts and commissions, and approximately $1.9
million in other related expenses. The net offering proceeds to us,
after deducting the foregoing expenses, were approximately $74.8
million.
From the time of receipt through June 30, 2005, we have invested the net
proceeds from the Offering in investment-grade, interest-bearing
securities. We used $4.0 million of the proceeds to satisfy a
cancellation fee for the termination of a distribution agreement with
Endogen Corporation. We used approximately $14.0 million for general
corporate purposes, including working capital and research and
development activities.
We expect to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate
purposes, including working capital and expanding research and
development and sales and marketing efforts to accelerate the
commercialization of new products and the development of new
partnerships.
A portion of the net proceeds may also be used to acquire or invest in
complementary businesses or products to obtain the right to use
complementary technologies. From time to time, in the ordinary course of
business, we may evaluate potential acquisitions of these businesses,
products, or technologies. We have no current agreements or commitments
regarding any such transaction.
