NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Unaudited
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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 necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Operating results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year
as a whole. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of Greatbatch, Inc. (the "Company") for the periods presented. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at
the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004.
The Company officially changed its name to Greatbatch, Inc. from Wilson
Greatbatch Technologies, Inc. during the second quarter.
The Company utilizes a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on
the Friday nearest December 31st. For 52-week years, each quarter contains
13 weeks. For clarity of presentation, the Company describes all periods as
if each quarter end is March 31st, June 30th and September 30th and as if
the year-end is December 31st. The second quarter of 2005 and 2004 each
contained 13 weeks.
2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"). As permitted in that standard,
the Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
The Company has determined the pro forma information as if the Company had
accounted for stock options granted under the fair value method of SFAS No.
123. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used with the following
weighted average assumptions.
-6-
These pro forma calculations assume the common stock is freely tradable for
all periods presented and, as such, the impact is not necessarily
indicative of the effects on reported net income of future periods.

=============== ===============
Revolving Line of Credit
On May 31, 2005, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility,
which included changes to the underlying covenants. The amended three-year
facility replaced the old $20.0 million revolving credit facility with a
new $50.0 million Revolving Credit Facility ("new revolver"), which
contains a $10.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of commercial or
standby letters of credit. The new revolver is secured by the Company's
non-realty assets including cash, accounts and notes receivable, and
inventories. The new revolver requires the Company to comply with two
quarterly financial covenants, as defined. The first relates to the ratio
of consolidated net earnings or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation,
and amortization ("EBITDA") to Fixed Charges. The second is a Leverage
ratio, which is calculated based on the ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt
less Cash, Cash Equivalent Investments and Short-Term Investments to
Consolidated EBITDA. Interest rates under the new Facility vary with the
Company's leverage. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of
between .125% and .250% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving
line of credit based on the Company's leverage. As of June 30, 2005, the
Company had no balance outstanding on its $50.0 million committed revolving
line of credit.
Debt issue expenses for the new revolver totaled $0.2 million and are being
amortized using the straight-line method over a three-year term. The
revolver refinancing transaction resulted in the write-off of $0.1 million
of existing deferred financing fees associated with the prior revolving
line of credit.

only component of comprehensive income is its net income. For the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company's comprehensive
income includes net income and a net unrealized loss on available-for-sale

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation - During 2002, a former non-medical customer commenced an action
alleging that the Company had used proprietary information of the customer
to develop certain products. We have meritorious defenses and are
vigorously defending the case. No accrual for an adverse judgment has been
made as such outcome is not deemed probable, the potential risk of loss is
between $0.0 and $1.75 million.

As reported in the Company's 2005 first quarter Form 10-Q, on May 2, 2005,
a complaint was filed against the Company by a developer of an implantable
drug delivery device in the United States Federal District Court for the
Central District of California. On May 20, 2005, the parties entered into a
settlement agreement under which the Company undertook certain obligations
including the performance of certain additional development tasks for a
limited period of time. On June 2, 2005, the Court ordered the complaint
dismissed without prejudice.

============
Capital Expenditures - During 2004, the Company commenced the build out of
its medical battery and capacitor manufacturing facility in Alden, NY and
its value-add manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico. These facilities
will enable the Company to further consolidate its operations and implement
state of the art manufacturing capabilities at both locations. The total
contractual obligations for construction of these facilities at June 30,
2005 is $4.4 million and will be financed by existing, or internally
generated cash.
11. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates its business in two reportable segments: Implantable
Medical Components ("IMC") and Electrochem Commercial Power ("ECP"),
(formerly "Electrochem Power Solutions"). The IMC segment designs and
manufactures critical components used in implantable medical devices. The
principal components are batteries, capacitors, filtered feedthroughs,
coated components, enclosures and machined and molded precision components.
The principal medical devices are pacemakers, defibrillators and
neurostimulators. The ECP segment designs and manufactures high performance
cells and battery packs; principal markets for these products are for oil
and gas exploration, oceanographic equipment, and aerospace.
The Company defines segment income from operations as gross profit less
costs and expenses attributable to segment-specific selling, general and
administrative, research, development and engineering expenses, intangible
amortization and other operating expenses. Segment income also includes a
portion of non-segment specific selling, general and administrative, and
research, development and engineering expenses based on allocations
appropriate to the expense categories. The remaining unallocated operating
expenses along with other income and expense are not allocated to
reportable segments. Transactions between the two segments are not
significant. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described and referenced in Note 1.

13. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") published
an Exposure Draft of a proposed Interpretation, Accounting for Uncertain
Tax Positions. The Exposure Draft seeks to reduce the significant diversity
in practice associated with recognition and measurement in the accounting
for income taxes. It would apply to all tax positions accounted for in
accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Exposure Draft
requires that a tax position meet a "probable recognition threshold" for
the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial
statements. This threshold is to be met assuming that the tax authorities
will examine the uncertain tax position. The Exposure Draft contains
guidance with respect to the measurement of the benefit that is recognized
for an uncertain tax position, when that benefit should be derecognized,
and other matters. This proposed Interpretation would clarify the
accounting for uncertain tax positions in accordance with SFAS 109. This
Interpretation, once approved, is expected to be effective as of the end of
the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The Company outlined
its critical accounting policies related to income taxes in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain tax
accounting and reporting guidelines may change as a result of new
accounting guidance. The Company's accounting and reporting treatment will
be determined at the time of issuance of a final standard.
In June 2005 the issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, ("SFAS 154") a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.
-16-
SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and the reporting
of a change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in
accounting principles required recognition by recording a cumulative effect
adjustment within net income in the period of change. SFAS 154 requires
retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements, unless it
is impracticable to determine either the specific period effects or the
cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting
changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company
does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material effect
on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations,
or liquidity.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment ("SFAS No. 123(R)"). This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This standard requires the
Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The cost
will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the
awards.
The Company anticipates adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) on
January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application. Accordingly,
compensation expense will be recognized for all newly granted awards and
awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006.
Compensation cost for the unvested portion of awards that are outstanding
as of January 1, 2006 will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting
period. The compensation cost for the unvested portion of awards will be
based on the fair value at date of grant as calculated for the Company's
pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123.
The Company estimates that the effect on net income and earnings per share
in the periods following adoption of SFAS 123(R) will be consistent with
the Company's pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123, except that
estimated forfeitures will be considered in the calculation of compensation
expense under SFAS 123(R). Additionally, the actual effect on net income
and earnings per share will vary depending upon the number of options
granted in subsequent periods compared to prior years.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an
amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 ("SFAS No. 151"). SFAS No. 151 amends
the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, handling costs
and wasted material (spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule
requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges,
regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in
ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2005. The company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 151 will
have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated
results of operations, or liquidity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
We are a leading developer and manufacturer of batteries, capacitors,
feedthroughs, enclosures, and other components used in implantable medical
devices ("IMDs") through our Implantable Medical Components ("IMC") business. We
offer technologically advanced, highly reliable and long lasting products for
IMDs and enable our customers to introduce IMDs that are progressively smaller,
longer lasting, more efficient and more functional. We also leverage our core
competencies in technology and manufacturing through our Electrochem Commercial
Power ("ECP") business (formerly "Electrochem Power Solutions") to develop and
produce cells and battery packs for commercial applications that demand high
performance and reliability, including oil and gas exploration, oceanographic
equipment and aerospace.
Most of the IMC products that we sell are utilized by customers in cardiac
rhythm management ("CRM") devices. The CRM market comprises devices utilizing
high-rate batteries and capacitors such as implantable cardioverter
defibrillators ("ICDs") and cardiac resynchronization therapy ("CRT") with
backup defibrillation devices ("CRT-D") and devices utilizing low or medium rate
batteries but no capacitors (pacemakers and CRTs). All CRM devices utilize other
components such as enclosures and feedthroughs, and certain CRM devices utilize
electromagnetic interference ("EMI") filtering technology.
We utilize a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Friday
nearest December 31st. For 52-week years, each quarter contains 13 weeks. For
clarity of presentation, we describe all periods as if each quarter end is March
31st, June 30th and September 30th and as if the year-end is December 31st. The
second quarter of 2005 and 2004 each contained 13 weeks.
The commentary that follows should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes and with the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
Overview
During and subsequent to the second quarter 2005, there were several
developments affecting our business:
o We reported all-time record sales results of $63.5 million, led by
strong sales of implantable medical components and commercial power
sources.
o We changed the name of the Company to Greatbatch, Inc., from the
former name of Wilson Greatbatch Technologies, Inc.
o We celebrated the grand opening of the world-class manufacturing
facility in Tijuana, Mexico.
-18-
o We appointed Thomas J. Hook as President and Chief Operating Officer.
o The installation of the remaining assembly equipment at the Tijuana
Facility continued to proceed as planned; completion is expected in
the fourth quarter of 2005. The consolidation plan was finalized for
the move of the Carson City plant into the Tijuana Facility. The move
is expected to be completed by first quarter 2006.
o The move of the medical battery manufacturing equipment to Alden, NY,
was substantially completed in accordance with plan. The movement of
the manufacturing equipment from the existing capacitor plant was
initiated and is expected to be complete by the end of the fourth
quarter 2005.
o We amended our Senior Secured Credit Facility to replace our existing
$20.0 million revolving credit with a new three-year, $50 million
revolving credit facility.
Product Development
As mentioned in our annual report (which is available on our website,
www.greatbatch.com), our near term focus for growth in the medical battery
market is the introduction of our Q-Series batteries. Initially they will be
available in two configurations - QHR (High Rate) and QMR (Medium Rate). These
batteries hold the promise of unparalleled performance in a wide range of
implantable device and neurostimulation applications and allow our customers to
incorporate advanced power-hungry features into these devices. While companies
typically announce new products that have modest improvements in form and/or
function regularly, we believe the Q-Series firmly establishes a new industry
standard. It delivers advanced performance criteria to an industry that
historically embraces new products. We believe the Q-Series will represent a
major breakthrough by combining a smaller size with greater energy density (more
power).
Based on our limited test results to date, batteries incorporating
nanotechnology may demonstrate the potential for generating even further
improvements. While nanotechnology is showing some limited benefits in current
battery designs, we do not anticipate realizing its full potential until it can
be tested in the Q-Series design. As the word implies, "nano" unlocks the
promise of smaller size and offers potential for enhanced product performance
and manufacturability. Additionally, nano applications are not limited to
batteries. The same technology may well be the enabling force behind other new
products now in development such as significantly smaller higher voltage
capacitors, novel form batteries and capacitors that will be used in new, far
less intrusive cardiac therapy applications that represent an entirely new
approach to CRM treatment.
Cost savings and consolidation efforts
During second quarter 2005, we recorded non-recurring charges in other operating
expense related to our ongoing cost savings and consolidation efforts.
-19-
Severance charges. The Company implemented a 4% workforce reduction during the
first quarter, which resulted in a severance charge of $1.5 million. Of that
amount, $0.8 million and $0.5 million was paid in cash during the first and
second quarters, respectively. The remaining $0.2 million balance is anticipated
to be paid in cash within the next three months.
Alden Facility Consolidation. On February 23, 2005, we announced our intent to
consolidate the medical capacitor manufacturing operations, currently in
Cheektowaga, NY, and the implantable medical battery manufacturing operations,
currently in Clarence, NY, into the advanced power source manufacturing facility
in Alden, NY ("Alden Facility"). We are also consolidating the capacitor
research, development and engineering operations from the Cheektowaga, NY,
facility into the existing implantable medical battery research, development,
and engineering operations in Clarence, NY.
The total cost estimated for these consolidation efforts is anticipated to be
between $3.5 and $4.0 million. Expenses of $0.9 million have been incurred
through the second quarter. Of these, $0.4 million were paid in cash, $0.2
million were for written-off assets, and $0.3 million remain to be paid. We
expect to incur the remaining expense over the next two fiscal quarters.
Carson City Facility shutdown and Tijuana Facility consolidation. On March 7,
2005, we announced our intent to close the Carson City, NV facility ("Carson
City Facility") and consolidate the work performed at the Carson City Facility
into the Tijuana, Mexico facility ("Tijuana Facility").
The total estimated cost for this facility consolidation plan is anticipated to
be between $4.5 million and $5.4 million, comprised of between $2.5 million to
$2.9 million for the Carson City Facility shutdown and $2.0 to $2.5 million for
the Tijuana Facility consolidation. We expect to incur the remaining costs over
the next three fiscal quarters. All categories of costs are considered to be
cash expenditures, except accelerated depreciation.
Carson City Facility shutdown expenses of $0.8 million have been accrued year to
date, of which $0.2 million have been recorded as accelerated depreciation and
$0.6 million remain to be paid. Tijuana Facility consolidation expenses of $0.04
million have been incurred and paid year to date.

Sales
IMC. The nature and extent of our selling relationship with each CRM customer is
different in terms of component products purchased, selling prices, product
volumes, ordering patterns and inventory management. We have pricing
arrangements with our customers that at times do not specify minimum order
quantities. Our visibility to customer ordering patterns is over a relatively
short period of time. Our customers may have inventory management programs and
alternate supply arrangements of which we are unaware. Additionally, the
relative market share among the CRM device manufacturers changes periodically.
Consequently, these and other factors can significantly impact our sales in any
given period.
The results for the quarter did receive benefit from the field issues
surrounding ICD products. However, it is extremely difficult to identify how
much benefit we did receive during the second quarter. We did see a quarterly
sequential increase in CRM related sales in the range of $5 million. We do not
have granularity into the nature of the orders and can only assume that some
percentage of the increase relates to the ICD field actions in the marketplace.
It is very conceivable that the impact on our sales will continue to be
favorably affected by these field issues into the second half of the year.
There are a number of factors, both short-term and long-term related to these
field actions that may impact our results. In the short-term, if product has to
be replaced, or customer inventory levels have to be restored, this will result
in increased component demand. Also, changing customer order patterns due to
market share shifts or accelerated device replacements may also have a positive
impact on our sales results in the near-term. These same factors may have
longer-term implications as well. Customer inventory levels may ultimately have
to be rebalanced to match demand. These dynamics should be become clearer in
early 2006 and will have to be carefully considered when we provide our 2006
outlook.
Moving beyond the field actions, the increase in demand is not isolated to any
one customer. We are seeing strength across all of our products and our entire
customer base. We believe that the market continues to exhibit strong underlying
growth fundamentals and that we are well positioned to participate in this
market growth.
The increase in IMC sales of 19% during the second quarter and 9% year to date
were primarily due to increased demand for ICD batteries, filtered feedthroughs,
coated components and medical enclosures offset by an average 2% reduction in
selling prices. Sales of assembly products manufactured in our Tijuana Facility
added incremental sales of $0.8 million to the quarter and year to date.
ECP. Similar to IMC customers, we have pricing arrangements with our customers
that many times do not specify minimum quantities. Our visibility to customer
ordering patterns is over a relatively short period of time.
We recorded our second consecutive record sales performance in our commercial
business segment. The ECP sales increases of 30% in the second quarter and 23%
year to date have been driven by volume increases due to a number of factors.
-22-
First and foremost, we have expanded our commercial sales force. We are
aggressively pursuing new business opportunities and have been successful on
many of these fronts.
Second, we have significantly reduced our manufacturing lead times at our Canton
facility, which has allowed us to increase shipments in the current year. We
will continue to expand on these efforts from various lean manufacturing
initiatives that are underway in our Canton facility and throughout the Company.
The third factor that has contributed to our positive commercial results has
been favorable market dynamics. The oil and gas exploration market remains
robust due to the increased demand for products used in pipeline inspections,
pressure monitoring and measurement while drilling applications. In addition, we
have seen an increase in demand for power sources used in wave monitoring and
seismic recording, due to increased Tsunami related concerns, mainly in the
international markets.
Gross profit
The basis point decreases in gross margin for the quarter and year to date were
primarily due to the following factors:
Basis point impact
-------------------------------
Quarter Year to Date
Excess capacity at wet tantalum capacitor and
Tijuana facilities 290 230
Lower IMC selling prices 130 170
Profit sharing accruals and incentive
compensation 60 30
Higher platinum costs & other items 70 70
-------------------------------
550 500
===============================
SG&A expenses
Expenses for the quarter and year to date increased primarily as a result of
$2.0 million of increased incentive compensation accruals recorded during the
second quarter.
RD&E expenses
RD&E expenses, net of development costs reimbursed, decreased by 36% for the
quarter and 24% for the year to date compared to last year. Gross RD&E spending
declined by 12% for the quarter and 8% for the year to date versus last year.
The majority of this decrease is due to the QHR battery product line moving from
the development stage into production. We expect that RD&E costs will increase
in the second half, due to increased investment in future development programs
and the timing of achievement of reimbursement milestones.
In terms of the development costs billed, reimbursements for development
projects were 360% higher in the current quarter, and 101% higher for the year
to date compared to the same period last year. The reimbursements for achieving
certain development milestones are netted against gross spending. The timing of
the achievement of these milestones was the primary reason for the decline in
net RD&E expenses.
-23-
Amortization expense
Amortization expense for the quarter declined as the result of the completion of
amortization of a noncompete/employment agreement during 2004. The result is a
$0.1 million reduction in amortization expense per quarter in 2005.
Amortization expense for the year to date reflects an incremental $0.3 million
of intangible amortization resulting from the NanoGram acquisition in March 2004
offset by the $0.2 million reduction of expense due to the completion of the
amortization of the noncompete/employment agreement during 2004.
Other operating expense
Other operating expense for the quarter and year to date is comprised of the
following costs (in millions):
Quarter Year to Date
Costs to exit development agreement $ 1.2 $ 1.2
Alden facility consolidation * 0.9 0.9
Severance * - 1.5
Asset dispositions 1.0 1.5
Carson City facility shutdown * 0.6 0.8
Tijuana start-up * 0.3 0.5
-------------- --------------
$ 4.0 $ 6.4
============== ==============
The $1.2 million charge for "costs to exit a development agreement" were
recorded in other operating expenses during the second quarter for charges
associated with the discontinuation of a drug pump development agreement.
Refer to "Cost savings and consolidation efforts" discussion for disclosure
related to the timing and level of remaining expenditures for items marked with
"*".
Interest expense and interest income
Interest expense increased during the quarter and year to date due to the
incremental deferred financing fees amortization related to the new revolver.
Interest income increased during the quarter and year to date due to higher
interest rates as well as the movement of investments in mid-2004 from tax
deferred to taxable securities, which bear higher rates of return.
-24-
Provision for income taxes
The effective tax rate declined due to various state tax planning initiatives
realized in mid-2004. We anticipate the full year effective tax rate will not
exceed 30.0%.
Our effective tax rate is below the United States statutory rate primarily as a
result of federal and state tax credits and the allowable Extraterritorial
Income Exclusion ("ETI") for 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Revolving Line of Credit
On May 31, 2005, we amended our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which included
changes to the underlying covenants. The amended three-year facility replaced
the old $20.0 million revolving credit facility with a new $50.0 million
Revolving Credit Facility ("new revolver"), which contains a $10.0 million
sub-limit for the issuance of commercial or standby letters of credit. The new
revolver is secured by our non-realty assets including cash, accounts and notes
receivable, and inventories. The new revolver requires us to comply with two
quarterly financial covenants, as defined. The first relates to the ratio of
consolidated net earnings or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization ("EBITDA") to Fixed Charges. The second is a Leverage ratio, which
is calculated based on the ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt less Cash, Cash
Equivalent Investments and Short-Term Investments to Consolidated EBITDA.
Interest rates under the new Facility vary with our leverage. We are required to
pay a commitment fee of between .125% and .250% per annum on the unused portion
of the revolving line of credit based on our leverage. As of June 30, 2005, we
had no balance outstanding on our $50.0 million committed revolving line of
credit.
Our principal sources of liquidity are our operating cash flow combined with our
working capital of $143.3 million at June 30, 2005 and availability under our
line of credit. Historically we have generated cash from operations sufficient
to meet our capital expenditure and debt service needs, other than for
acquisitions. At June 30, 2005, our current ratio was 6.2:1.
The Company regularly engages in discussions relating to potential acquisitions
and may announce an acquisition transaction at any time.
Operating activities
Positive cash flows from operating activities were achieved in both periods
presented. During the second quarter and year to date, increased accounts
receivable utilized approximately $6.9 million and $11.2 million dollars of the
cash provided from operating activities, respectively.
-25-
Investing activities
The majority of the current year increase in capital spending was for the
following:
a. New medical power manufacturing plant in Alden, NY - $5.6 million; and
b. New assembly plant in Tijuana, Mexico - $6.7 million.
In March 2004, we purchased NanoGram for approximately $45.7 million. The most
significant elements of the purchase price allocation were to patented and
unpatented technology and goodwill. The costs allocated to patented and
unpatented technology are being amortized over the remaining estimated useful
life of 11.5 years. The residual amount of the allocation of $35.1 million went
to goodwill, which is not amortized but rather subject to periodic testing for
impairment. NanoGram is now referred to as our Advanced Research Laboratory.
Since the primary function of this operation is research and development, all
costs are appropriately classified in that category.
Approximately $1.9 million of cash was converted from short-term investments
during the quarter. On a year to date basis, short-term investments of $2.2
million have been converted from cash.
Financing activities
Payments on capital lease obligations and non-qualified stock option exercises
are the primary financing activities for both periods presented.
Capital Structure
At June 30, 2005, our capital structure consisted primarily of $170.0 million of
convertible subordinated notes and our 21.6 million shares of common stock
outstanding. We have in excess of $88.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments and are in a position to facilitate future acquisitions
if necessary. We are also authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock
and 100 million shares of preferred stock. The market value of our outstanding
common stock since our IPO has exceeded our book value; accordingly, we believe
that if needed we can access public markets to sell additional common or
preferred stock assuming conditions are appropriate.
Our capital structure allows us to support our internal growth and provides
liquidity for corporate development initiatives. The current expectation for
2005 is that capital spending is expected to be in the range of $30.0 million to
$35.0 million, primarily due to the build-out of the Alden Facility ($11.0
million), the Tijuana Facility ($10.0 million), and normal maintenance capital
expenditures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4)
of Regulation S-K.
-26-
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a significant effect on our operations.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") published an
Exposure Draft of a proposed Interpretation, Accounting for Uncertain Tax
Positions. The Exposure Draft seeks to reduce the significant diversity in
practice associated with recognition and measurement in the accounting for
income taxes. It would apply to all tax positions accounted for in accordance
with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Exposure Draft requires that a
tax position meet a "probable recognition threshold" for the benefit of the
uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. This
threshold is to be met assuming that the tax authorities will examine the
uncertain tax position. The Exposure Draft contains guidance with respect to the
measurement of the benefit that is recognized for an uncertain tax position,
when that benefit should be derecognized, and other matters. This proposed
Interpretation would clarify the accounting for uncertain tax positions in
accordance with SFAS 109. This Interpretation, once approved, is expected to be
effective as of the end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005.
We outlined our critical accounting policies related to income taxes in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain tax
accounting and reporting guidelines may change as a result of new accounting
guidance. Our accounting and reporting treatment will be determined at the time
of issuance of a final standard.
In June 2005 the issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, ("SFAS 154") a replacement of APB
Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting
Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for
the accounting for and the reporting of a change in accounting principle.
Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles required recognition
by recording a cumulative effect adjustment within net income in the period of
change. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial
statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the specific period
effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for
accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do
not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or
liquidity.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment ("SFAS No. 123(R)"). This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This standard requires the Company to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards
based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The cost will be recognized as
compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
We anticipate adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006
using the modified prospective application. Accordingly, compensation expense
will be recognized for all newly granted awards and awards modified,
repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. Compensation cost for the
unvested portion of awards that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006 will be
recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period. The compensation cost for
the unvested portion of awards will be based on the fair value at date of grant
as calculated for our pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123.
-27-
We estimate that the effect on net income and earnings per share in the periods
following adoption of SFAS 123(R) will be consistent with the our pro forma
disclosure under SFAS No. 123, except that estimated forfeitures will be
considered in the calculation of compensation expense under SFAS 123(R).
Additionally, the actual effect on net income and earnings per share will vary
depending upon the number of options granted in subsequent periods compared to
prior years.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 ("SFAS No. 151"). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage).
Among other provisions, the new rule requires that such items be recognized as
current-period charges, regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so
abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 151
will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated
results of operations, or liquidity.
Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the
selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting
estimates, some of which require management to make significant assumptions. We
believe that some of the more critical estimates and related assumptions that
affect our financial condition and results of operations are in the areas of
inventories, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets, long-lived
assets and income taxes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we did not change or adopt new
accounting policies that had a material effect on our consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
Contractual Obligations
During 2004, we commenced the build out of our Alden Facility and our Tijuana
Facility. These facilities will enable the Company to further consolidate its
operations and implement state of the art manufacturing capabilities at both
locations. The contractual obligations for construction of these facilities is
$4.4 million and will be financed by existing, or internally generated cash.
-28-
Litigation
During 2002, a former non-medical customer commenced an action alleging that we
used proprietary information of the customer to develop certain products. We
have meritorious defenses and are vigorously defending the case. No accrual for
an adverse judgment has been made as such outcome is not deemed probable, the
potential risk of loss is between $0.0 and $1.75 million.
As reported in our 2005 first quarter Form 10-Q, on May 2, 2005, a
complaint was filed against us by a developer of an implantable drug delivery
device in the United States Federal District Court for the Central District of
California. On May 20, 2005, the parties entered into a settlement aggrement
under which the Company undertook certain obligations including the performance
of certain development tasks for a limited period of time. On June 2, 2005, the
Court ordered the complaint dismissed without prejudice.
-29-
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other
written and oral statements made from time to time by us and our
representatives, are not statements of historical or current fact. As such, they
are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. We have based these forward-looking statements on our
current expectations, which are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. They include statements relating to:
o future sales, expenses and profitability;
o the future development and expected growth of our business and the
implantable medical device industry;
o our ability to successfully execute our business model and our
business strategy;
o our ability to identify trends within the for implantable medical
devices, medical components, and commercial power sources industries
and to offer products and services that meet the changing needs of
those markets;
o projected capital expenditures; and
o trends in government regulation.
You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may,"
"will," "should," "could," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates,"
"believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative
of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only
predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those suggested
by these forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements and our
prospects generally, you should carefully consider the factors set forth below.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary factors and
to others contained throughout this report. We are under no duty to update any
of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report or to conform
these statements to actual results.
Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that
may cause actual results to differ from the results expressed or implied by our
forward-looking statements or that may affect our future results, some of these
factors include the following: dependence upon a limited number of customers,
product obsolescence, inability to market current or future products, pricing
pressure from customers, reliance on third party suppliers for raw materials,
products and subcomponents, fluctuating operating results, inability to maintain
high quality standards for our products, challenges to our intellectual property
rights, product liability claims, inability to successfully consummate and
integrate acquisitions, unsuccessful expansion into new markets, competition,
inability to obtain licenses to key technology, regulatory changes or
consolidation in the healthcare industry, and other risks and uncertainties that
arise from time to time as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
-30-
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Under our line of credit any borrowings bear interest at fluctuating market
rates. At June 30, 2005, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under our
line of credit and thus no interest rate sensitive financial instruments.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. During the second quarter
of 2005, our management, including the principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) related to the recording, processing,
summarization and reporting of information in our reports that we file with
the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to
ensure that material information relating to us, including our
subsidiaries, is made known to our management, including these officers, by
other of our employees, and that this information is recorded, processed,
summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of
control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the control. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.
Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2005, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to reasonably ensure
that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we
file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms.
b. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during our last fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
During June 2005, however, we experienced the departure of our Chief
Financial Officer. We appointed an interim Chief Financial Officer who
performed the control procedures conducted by the previous Chief Financial
Officer. The interim Chief Financial Officer was promoted to Chief
Financial Officer on August 8, 2005.
