NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 (unaudited) 1. PRESENTATION ------------ The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for interim reporting, which are less than those required for annual reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Medex, Inc. at September 30, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows. The notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements which are contained in the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders should be read in conjunction with these Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's amounts to conform with the classifications of such amounts for fiscal 1997. 2. RESTRUCTURING ------------- During the first quarter, the Company finalized the "turnaround program" for its domestic operations which began in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The total cost of the program was expected to be approximately $4,350,000. The actual costs of the "turnaround program" totaled 4,382,000. The difference of $32,000 between the actual and the expected expense is primarily due to consulting costs being higher than anticipated. The Company used available cash to fund these expenditures. The Company's total cost for the "turnaround program" consisted of $2,704,000 in restructuring costs and $1,678,000 in write-offs of discontinued items. The restructuring costs consist of $1,643,000 for consulting services, $781,000 for severances for terminated employees and the remainder for legal and outplacement expenses. The $1,678,000 charge associated with discontinued items represents the write-off of inventory and fixed assets as a result of the Company's decision to discontinue or replace certain items. All these costs were recorded in fiscal 1996 with the exception of $741,000 of restructuring costs recorded during the quarter which consisted of $175,000 for severances costs and $566,000 for consulting services. 3. SALE OF PRODUCT LINE -------------------- In July, 1996, the Company sold its WalkMed(R) ambulatory infusion pump product line, related disposable products and associated assets. The Company will continue to manufacture the WalkMed line and related disposables and will distribute the products outside of North America for up to three years. The Company's sales related to WalkMed in fiscal 1996 were approximately $3,500,000. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $3,100,000 on the sale of the product line. WalkMed infusion systems are used to administer intravenous therapies to patients in non-hospitalized, alternate site locations. 9 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT ---------------- On November 13, 1996, the Company and Furon Company, headquartered in Laguna Niguel, California, announced the signing of a Merger Agreement under which FCY, Inc., Furon's subsidiary, will commence a tender offer to acquire all of the Company's outstanding shares for $23.50 per share. The total transaction is valued at $160 million (including outstanding stock options). Following consummation of the tender offer, Furon intends to acquire any remaining Medex shares in a cash merger at the same price as paid in the tender offer. The merger agreement and tender offer have been approved by the boards of directors of each Company. 10 MEDEX, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table shows Medex, Inc. operating results as a percent of net sales for the periods indicated for certain items in the consolidated statements of income. Dollar amounts in the following tables are in thousands. PERCENT OF NET SALES THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 ------- -------- Net Sales 100.00 100.00 Cost of Goods Sold 53.67 49.12 ------ ------- Gross Margin 46.33 50.88 Operating Expenses 40.56 42.51 ------- ------- Operating Income 5.77 8.37 Other Income (Expense) 12.88 (0.38) ------ ------- Income Before Income Taxes 18.65 7.99 Estimated Income Taxes 7.46 3.19 ------ ------- Net Income 11.19 4.80 ====== ======= THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales $24,263 $23,698 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased $565,000 or two percent over the same period of the previous year. Net sales from domestic operations decreased $908,000 or six percent to $14,916,000 while sales from the Company's European operations increased $1,474,000 or nineteen percent to $9,347,000. 11 The decrease in domestic sales consists of decreases in critical care accessories of $156,000 and in infusion systems of $752,000. Critical care accessories sales decreased due to decreases in sales of cath lab and pressure monitoring products partially offset by increased sales of fluid & drug products. Cath lab sales were negatively impacted by backorders caused by manufacturing delays. Sales of infusion systems decreased in all areas but the decrease is most significant in the large volume pump product (LVP) line. European sales increased $1,474,000 primarily due to increases in procedure packs and the fluid & drug product line. The procedure pack increase is primarily due to the growing pack business and due to a portion of the backorders existing at June 30, 1996 being filled. Decreases in foreign currency exchange rates had the effect of reducing reported sales by $366,000 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of Goods Sold $13,023 $11,639 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Margin $11,240 $12,058 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Margin as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased to 46.3% from the 50.9% reported in the previous year. Domestic margins decreased 6 percentage points while the European margins decreased 1.9 percentage points. Domestic margins decreased to 46.4% due to the increases in product costs and due to the product mix. Approximately five percentage points of the decrease are due to increases in costs over the fiscal 1996 standards due to increases in overhead, labor and material costs. Other items negatively impacting the margin are the mix of products sold during the quarter and pricing pressures. European margins decreased to 47.1% from 49.0% reported in the previous year. This decrease is primarily due to pricing pressures, increased costs and a change in product mix to include more procedure pack sales which carry a lower margin. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Selling, Research and Administrative Expenses $9,100 $ 9,833 Restructuring Expenses 741 241 ------ ------- Total Operating Expenses $9,841 $10,074 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased $233,000 from the same period of the previous year. This decrease consists of a $259,000 12 decrease in domestic operating expenses and a $26,000 increase in European operating expenses. The domestic decrease consists of a $759,000 decrease in selling and administrative expenses offset by a $500,000 increase in restructuring expenses. The decrease in selling, research and administrative expenses is due to decreased selling as the result of open positions and cost containment practices and decreases in administrative expenses due to legal fees and professional services. The restructuring expenses recorded during the quarter of $741,000 represent the final costs associated with the Company's "turnaround program". This program, for the domestic operations, is focused on a number of efficiency and organizational measures including "right sizing" the organization, developing management tools to achieve consistent performance, creating new programs to manage inventories, improving cost competitiveness, and developing bench marking and "best of class" measures to track Company performance. The nature of the items included in the $741,000 recorded in the quarter is discussed in Note 2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements". The total cost of the turnaround program was $4,382,000. Management estimates the "turnaround program" will result in approximately $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 in annualized savings for the Company. The savings associated with the plan are expected to be primarily achieved by reducing salaried personnel in the manufacturing, sales and administrative areas and by achieving greater manufacturing efficiencies. Approximately 50 positions were eliminated during the program. The annualized salaries and fringe benefits associated with these positions total approximately $2,300,000. The restructuring expenses of $241,000 in the prior year relate to the closing of the Denver facility which was announced in October, 1994. The closing of this facility and the integration of all functions and product lines into the Columbus and Atlanta operations was finalized during the quarter ended December 31, 1995. Reported European operating expenses increased $26,000. However, decreases in the foreign currency exchange rates had the effect of reducing the reported expenses by $127,000. Excluding the effect of currency, the increase is due to increased selling expenses due primarily to increased sales. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other Income (Expenses) $3,126 ($90) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The increase in other income for the three months ended September 30, 1996, is due to the Company recording a gain on the sale of its WalkMed ambulatory infusion pump product line of approximately $3,100,000. Investment income has increased approximately $67,000 due to an increase in investable cash. The Company also recorded foreign currency exchange losses of $67,000 in the current quarter versus losses of $104,000 in the prior year. 13 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated Income Taxes $1,811 $757 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- The income taxes for both the current and previous fiscal year are estimated to be 40 percent of pre-tax income. 14 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- Net working capital at September 30, 1996 increased $5,773,000 over the working capital at June 30, 1996. The current ratio was $3.73 to 1.00 at September 30, 1996 as compared to 3.61 to 1.00 at June 30, 1996. Property additions of approximately $1,043,000 primarily relate to the acquisition of machinery and equipment. Management believes that currently available cash, investments and cash provided from future operations will be sufficient to finance these and other future capital expenditures. The Company during the quarter borrowed $4,000,000 through the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds. The bonds bear interest at a weekly adjustable rate and mature in June, 2016. Annual principal payments of $200,000 are scheduled beginning in July, 1997. Following any purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the tender offer contemplated by the Merger Agreement (See Note 4., Subsequent Event), the Company will be obligated to purchase for the same amount paid in the tender offer (currently set at $23.50 per share) all shares owned by officers and directors of the Company, and to pay the same amount less the exercise price of all stock options surrendered to the Company by officers, directors and employees (or former employees) of the Company. Such payments for these shares and options are expected to total approximately $25.4 million and will be funded out of the Company's working capital and, if necessary, funds provided by Furon. MANAGEMENT'S OUTLOOK - -------------------- Management anticipates that the Company's European operations will continue to post increases in sales, and profits are expected to be in line with fiscal year 1996 barring any material unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Domestic operations are expected to post improved performance over fiscal 1996. Domestic sales are expected to show a modest increase; however, they are expected to continue to be impacted by pricing pressures in the market, especially in infusion systems. The Company plans to introduce two new products in the second half of fiscal 1997. Profits for fiscal year 1997 over fiscal year 1996 are expected to improve, as the savings associated with the "turnaround program" are experienced. However, the domestic operations will continue to experience production related variances which will affect the Company's performance. The Company will continue to pursue opportunities, including product line extensions through acquisitions and strategic alliances, to strengthen the Company's product offering in strategic markets. If the acquisition of the Company by Furon Company occurs, as anticipated, management expects to develop new medical products and expand on a global basis.
