General
We are a leading nationwide provider of moveable medical equipment to more than
5,200 hospitals and alternate care providers through our equipment rental and
outsourcing programs.
The following discussion addresses our financial condition as of September 30,
2000 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements included elsewhere herein and the Management's
Discussion and Analysis and Financial sections included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2000.
Safe Harbor Statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: We believe statements in this Form 10-Q looking forward in time involve
risks and uncertainties. The following factors, among others, could adversely
affect our business, operations and financial condition causing our actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements: our substantial outstanding debt and high degree of leverage and the
continued availability, terms and deployment of capital, including our ability
to service or refinance debt; restrictions imposed by the terms of our debt;
adverse regulatory developments affecting, among other things, the ability of
our customers to obtain reimbursement of payments made to us; changes and trends
in customer preferences, including increased purchasing of movable medical
equipment; difficulties or delays in our continued expansion into certain
markets and development of new markets; unanticipated costs or difficulties or
delays in implementing the components of our strategy and plan and possible
adverse consequences relating to our ability to successfully integrate recent
acquisitions; effect of and changes in economic conditions, including inflation
and monetary conditions; actions by competitors and availability of and ability
to retain qualified personnel. For a more complete discussion see the caption
"Industry Assessment" and in our Form 10-K filing filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 29, 2000 under the caption "Business--Risk
Factors."
Industry Assessment
Our business may be significantly affected by, and the success of our growth
strategies depends on, the availability and nature of reimbursements to
hospitals and other health care providers for their medical equipment costs
under federal programs such as Medicare and by other third party payors. Our
customers, primarily hospitals and alternate care providers, have been and
continue to be faced with cost containment pressures and uncertainties with
respect to health care reform and reimbursement. There has been, and we believe
there will continue to be, a transition toward fixed, per-capita payment systems
and other risk-sharing mechanisms. Under its prospective payment system, the
Health Care Financing Administration, which determines Medicare reimbursement
levels, reimburses hospitals for medical treatment at fixed rates according to
diagnostic related groups without regard to the individual hospital's actual
cost. In July 1998, HCFA changed the way it reimburses nursing homes to a
similar prospective payment system. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997
significantly reduced the growth in federal spending on Medicare and Medicaid
over the next five years.
We believe our Pay-Per-Use(TM) and other rental programs respond favorably to
the current industry environment by providing high quality equipment through
programs which help health care providers improve their efficiency while
effectively matching costs to patient needs, wherever that care is being
provided. While our strategic focus appears consistent with health care
providers' efforts to contain costs and improve efficiencies, there can be no
assurances as to how health care reform will ultimately evolve and the impact it
will have on us.
Because the capital equipment procurement decisions of health care providers are
significantly influenced by the regulatory and political environment for health
care, our operating results historically have been adversely affected in periods
when significant health care reform initiatives were under consideration and
uncertainty remained as to their likely outcome. To the extent general cost
containment pressures on health care spending and reimbursement reform, or
uncertainty as to possible reform, causes hospitals and alternate care providers
to defer the procurement of medical equipment, reduce their capital expenditures
or change significantly their utilization of medical equipment, there could be a
material adverse effect on our business's financial condition and results of
operations.

Completed Acquisitions (See footnote 2 to the financial statements).
On October 26, 1999, we completed the purchase of Vital Choice Medical Systems,
Inc. (VC), a privately held company headquartered in Visalia, California.
On March 31, 1999, we completed the purchase of Express Medical Supply, Inc.
(EMS), a privately held company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The
impact of the acquisition of EMS was not material to the financial position and
results of operations and is not addressed in the following discussion.
Equipment Rental Revenues
Equipment rental revenues were $23.2 million for the third quarter of 2000,
representing a $4.6 million or 24.7% increase from equipment rental revenues of
$18.6 million for the same period of 1999. Assuming the acquisition of VC
occurred on January 1, 1999, equipment rental revenues would have increased
21.5% for the third quarter of 2000, compared to the same period in the prior
year. For the first nine months of 2000, equipment rental revenues were $69.0
million, representing an $11.1 million, or 19.1% increase from rental revenues
of $57.9 million for the same period of 1999. Assuming the acquisition of VC
occurred on January 1, 1999, equipment rental revenue would have increased 15.6%
for the first nine months of 2000, compared to the same period in the prior
year. The rental revenue increase resulted from rental equipment additions, more
efficient utilization of existing rental equipment and growth in our customer
base. Year to date, the strong growth in rental revenues was partially offset by
price concessions to certain Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO) to achieve
preferred vendor relationships. These GPO agreements started during the first
quarter of 1999 and are for terms of two to three years.
Sales of Supplies and Equipment, and Other
Sales of supplies and equipment and other were $2.9 million for the third
quarter of 2000, representing a $0.1 million, or 3.4%, increase from sales of
supplies and equipment and other of $2.8 million for the same period of 1999.
For the first nine months of 2000, sales of supplies and equipment and other was
$9.1 million, representing a $0.2 million, or 2.0%, increase from sales of
supplies and equipment and other of $8.9 million for the same period of 1999.
Cost of Equipment Rentals
Cost of equipment rentals was $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2000,
representing a $1.0 million, or 18.0%, increase from cost of equipment rentals
of $5.4 million for the same period of 1999. For the first nine months of 2000,
cost of equipment rentals was $18.9 million, representing a $2.9 million, or
17.9% increase from cost of equipment rentals of $16.0 million for the same
period of 1999. These results are in line with the increase in equipment rental
revenues supplemented by cost efficiencies. Cost of equipment rentals, as a
percentage of equipment rental revenues, decreased to 27.7% for the third
quarter of 2000 from 29.3% for the same period of 1999. For the first nine
months of 2000, cost of equipment rentals, as a percentage of equipment rental
revenues, decreased to 27.4% from 27.7% for the same period of 1999. These
decreases are a result of rental revenues growing at a faster rate than the
related cost of equipment rentals.
Rental Equipment Depreciation
Rental equipment depreciation was $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2000,
representing a $1.1 million or 25.1% increase from rental equipment depreciation
of $4.7 million for the same period of 1999. For the first nine months of 2000,
rental equipment depreciation was $16.4 million, representing a $3.4 million, or
26.7% increase from rental equipment depreciation of $13.0 million for the same
period of 1999, and is the result of equipment purchases during 1999 and 2000.
Rental equipment depreciation as a percentage of equipment rental revenues
remained at 25.1% in the third quarter of 2000 and 1999. For the first nine
months of 2000, rental equipment depreciation as a percentage of equipment
rental revenues increased to 23.8% from 22.4% for the same period of 1999. This
increase is due to the strong equipment additions during the past 12 months, and
the result of GPO agreements disclosed above.
8
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2000, representing a
$2.6 million or 28.1% increase from gross profit of $9.3 million for the same
period of 1999. For the first nine months of 2000, gross profit was $36.4
million, representing a $4.7 million, or 14.9% increase from gross profit of
$31.7 million for the same period of 1999. The increase in gross profit is due
to rental revenue growth partially offset by the increased cost of equipment
rentals and rental equipment depreciation discussed above.
Gross profit on rentals represents equipment rental revenues reduced by the cost
of equipment rentals and rental equipment depreciation. Gross profit on rentals
increased to 47.2% of equipment rental revenues for the third quarter of 2000
from 45.7% for the same period in 1999. The increased margin for the third
quarter reflects increased revenue growth and equipment utilization. For the
first nine months of 2000, gross profit on rental revenue decreased to 48.8%
from 49.9% for the same period of 1999. The decline in the margin was
predominately due to the impact of GPO pricing commencing late in the first
quarter of 1999 as well as increased cost of equipment rentals, and higher
depreciation from capital equipment purchases predominately in the first
quarter, which was partially offset by growth in rental revenues.
Gross margin on sales of supplies and equipment and other increased to 32.3% in
the third quarter of 2000 from 27.8% for the same period of 1999. For the first
nine months of 2000, gross profit on sales of supplies and equipment and other
decreased to 30.5% from 31.3%.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.9 million in the third
quarter of 2000, representing a $2.1 million, or 31.6% increase from selling,
general and administrative expenses of $6.8 million for the same period of 1999.
For the first nine months of 2000, selling, general and administrative expenses
were $25.9 million, representing a $4.2 million, or 19.5% increase from $21.7
million for the same period of 1999. The increase was due to additional
employees and compensation in third quarter 2000 over the same period in 1999,
amortization of goodwill from acquisitions and debt financing costs, bad debt
expense, and employee related insurance costs. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 34.2% for
the third quarter of 2000 from 31.7% for the same period of 1999, because of the
previously mentioned items. For the first nine months of 2000, selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 33.3%
from 32.5% for the same period in 1999.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2000, representing a
$0.6 million, or 13.2% increase from interest expense of $4.6 million in the
same period of 1999. For the first nine months of 2000, interest expense was
$15.4 million, representing a $2.3 million, or 17.1% increase from $13.1 million
for the same period of 1999. These increases primarily reflect our incremental
borrowings associated with capital equipment additions and the acquisitions of
VC and EMS as well as an increase in our effective interest rate. Average
borrowings increased to $194.0 million during the third quarter of 2000 from
$177.9 million for the same period in 1999 and from $170.8 million during the
first nine months of 1999 to $194.2 million for the first nine months of 2000.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2000 was 3.3%
compared to a statutory federal income tax rate of 34.0%, primarily due to
amortization of goodwill that is not deductible for income tax purposes and the
establishment of a valuation allowance related to our net deferred tax asset
primarily resulting from net operating loss carry forwards. The effective income
tax rate for the first nine months of 2000 is management's estimate of the full
year 2000 effective rate.
9
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $2.2 million during the third quarter of 2000,
compared to a net loss of $3.1 million in the same period of 1999. The first
nine months of 2000 resulted in a net loss of $4.7 million, compared to a net
loss of $2.9 million in the same period of 1999.
EBITDA
We believe earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
("EBITDA") to be a measurement of operating performance. EBITDA for the third
quarter of 2000 was $10.2 million versus $8.3 million for the same period of
1999. For the first nine months of 2000, EBITDA was $31.1 million versus $26.5
million for the same period of 1999. EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue
increased to 39.1% for the third quarter of 2000 from 38.9% for the same period
of 1999. For the first nine months of 2000, EBITDA as a percentage of total
revenue increased to 39.8% from 39.7% for the same period in 1999.
Quarterly Financial Information: Seasonality
Quarterly operating results are typically affected by seasonal factors.
Historically, our first and fourth quarters are the strongest, reflecting
increased hospital utilization during the fall and winter months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have financed our equipment purchases through internally
generated funds and borrowings under our existing Senior Revolving Credit
Facility. As an asset intensive business, we have required continued access to
capital to support the acquisition of equipment for rental to our customers. We
purchased, on a book basis, $41.6 million, $42.6 million and $20.4 million of
rental equipment in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. For the first nine
months of 2000, under generally accepted accounting principles, we purchased
$23.7 million of rental equipment compared to $29.2 million during the same
period of 1999.
During the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, net cash flows provided by
operating activities were $19.2 million and $14.2 million, respectively. Net
cash flows used in investing activities were $23.8 million and $37.6 million in
each of these periods. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $4.7
million and $25.2 million, respectively.
Our principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operating
activities and borrowings under our Senior Revolving Credit Facility. It is
anticipated that our principal uses of liquidity will be to fund capital
expenditures related to purchases of movable medical equipment, provide working
capital, meet debt service requirements and finance our strategic plans.
As of September 30, 2000, we were capitalized with $135.0 million of outstanding
notes and with $62.4 million outstanding loans under our $77.5 million Senior
Revolving Credit Facility. Interest on loans outstanding is payable at a rate
per annum, selected at the Company's option, equal to the Base Rate Margin (the
Bank's Base Rate plus 1.75%) or the adjusted Eurodollar Rate Margin (3.00% over
the adjusted Eurodollar Rate). The Banks Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate used
to calculate such interest rates may be adjusted if the Company satisfies
certain leverage ratios. Our Senior Revolving Credit Facility contains
restrictive covenants which, among other things, limits us from entering into
additional indebtedness, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales,
acquisitions, mergers, consolidations, liens and encumbrances and prepayments of
other indebtedness.
We believe that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth,
our cash from operations, together with our other sources of liquidity,
including borrowings available under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility, will
be sufficient over the next several periods to fund anticipated capital
expenditures and make required payments due on the Notes and obligations under
the Senior Revolving Credit Facility. We believe that our ability to repay the
Notes and amounts outstanding under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility at
maturity will require additional financing. There can be no assurance, however,
that any such financing will be available at such time to us, or that any such
financing will be on terms favorable to us.

Our expansion and acquisition strategy may require substantial capital, and no
assurance can be given that sufficient funding for such acquisitions will be
available under our Senior Revolving Credit Facility, which expires October
2004, or that we will be able to raise any necessary additional funds through
bank financing or the issuance of equity or debt securities on terms acceptable
to us, if at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We do not have any liquid investments. Our exposure to interest rate risk is
mainly through borrowings under our secured Senior Revolving Credit Facility. We
are primarily exposed to the Eurodollar interest rate on our borrowings under
the Senior Revolving Credit Facility. We do not use derivative financial
instruments.
