(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results
for a full year. These condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended March 31, 2005.
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein as of June 30, 2005 and for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 reflect, in the opinion of management, all
material adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods.
We have identified certain accounting policies that we consider particularly important for the
portrayal of our results of operations and financial position and which may require the application
of a higher level of judgment by our management, and as a result are subject to an inherent level
of uncertainty. These are characterized as critical accounting policies and address revenue
recognition, inventories, foreign currency translation and transactions, and impairment of
long-lived assets, each of which is more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended March 31, 2005. Based upon our review, we have determined that these policies
remain our most critical accounting policies for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, and
have made no changes to these policies during fiscal 2006.
2. Nature of Business and Corporate Liquidity
We currently sell our products outside of the United States and are pursuing regulatory approvals
to market our products in the United States. We anticipate increasing our sales and marketing
activities in the U.S. once we obtain such approvals. The FDA approval process can be costly,
lengthy and uncertain.
In March 2005, we entered into a business loan agreement with Venture Bank, pursuant to which we
may borrow up to $500,000 on a revolving basis. All amounts which the bank advances to us are due
in March 2006, unless the bank renews the agreement. Amounts advanced to us accrue interest at a
variable rate of 1% in excess of the published prime rate in the Wall Street Journal, with a
minimum rate of 6% per annum. We are obligated to pay interest monthly on the outstanding
principal balance. Advances under this agreement are secured by substantially all our assets. At
June 30, 2005 we had no outstanding balance under the agreement.
In April 2005, we conducted a private placement of common stock in which we sold 2,147,142 shares
of our common stock at a price per share of $3.50, together with warrants to purchase 1,180,928
shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.5 million. The stock
sale proceeds are offset by costs of approximately $700,000, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $6.8 million. The warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of
$4.75 per share.
We believe that our current resources, funds generated from sale of our products outside the U.S.
along with existing bank arrangements and the proceeds received from the recently completed private
placement will be adequate to meet our cash flow needs, including regulatory activities associated
with existing products, through fiscal 2006. Ultimately, we will need to achieve profitability and
positive cash flows from operations to fund our operations and grow our business beyond fiscal
2006.

7. Shareholders Equity
We apply the intrinsic-value method to account for employee stock-based compensation. As such,
compensation expense, if any, is recorded on the date of grant if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.
We account for stock-based instruments granted to non-employees under the fair value method of SFAS
No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are
Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.
Under SFAS No. 123, we record options at their fair value on the measurement date, which is
typically the vesting date.
Consulting Agreements
On April 1, 2003, we executed a consulting agreement with CCRI Corporation (CCRI) to provide
investor relations and development services. We pay CCRI a monthly fee of $4,000 plus expenses.
CCRI received 35,000 shares of fully vested restricted common stock, and vested warrants to
purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, and received vested
warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share on
November 2, 2003. We fully amortized the fair value of the common stock and warrants in fiscal
2004. On April 1, 2005, we extended the agreement for one year. The monthly fee of $4,000 plus
expenses remained the same.
Warrants
As a result of our suspension of the exercise of the 706,218 warrants originally issued in July
2002, in April 2005, we granted a like number of new common stock purchase warrants to the holders
of the expired warrants. The new warrants will be exercisable at $2.00 per share for 45 days after
the effective date of a new registration statement that we plan to file covering the shares
underlying these warrants. In April 2005, we recognized a liability of $1.4 million associated
with the grant of these new warrants. We reported additional expense of approximately $686,000 in
the first quarter due to the increase in the fair value of these warrants at June 30, 2005.
8. Stock-based Compensation
Had we determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for our stock options
issued to employees under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, our net loss and per
share amounts would have increased to the pro forma amounts shown below:

9. Savings and Retirement Plans
We sponsor various plans for eligible employees in the United States, the United Kingdom (UK), and
The Netherlands. Our retirement savings plan in the United States conforms to Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code and participation is available to substantially all employees. We may also
make discretionary contributions ratably to all eligible employees. We made no contributions in
association with these plans in the United States for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Our international subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans for eligible employees. These
plans provide benefits based on each employees years of service and compensation during the years
immediately preceding retirement, termination, disability, or death, as defined in the plans.
Pension plan assets are invested in insurance contracts. The defined benefit plan in The
Netherlands is closed for new employees effective April 2005. As of that date, the Dutch subsidiary
established a defined contribution plan. We froze our UK subsidiarys defined benefit plan on
December 31, 2004. On March 10, 2005, the UK subsidiary established a defined contribution plan.
The cost for our plan in The Netherlands includes the following components for the periods ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004:

10. Foreign Currency Translation
We translate all assets and liabilities using period-end exchange rates. We translate statements
of operations items using average exchange rates for the period. We record the resulting
translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of
shareholders equity. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses in our
consolidated statements of operations, including unrealized gains and losses on short-term
intercompany obligations using period-end exchange rates. We recognize unrealized gains and losses
on long-term intercompany obligations within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate
component of shareholders equity.
We recognize exchange gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates
between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the euro and British pound
(currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated intercompany
obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are revolving in nature and are not deemed to be
long-term balances. For the three-months ended June
30, 2005 and 2004, we recognized foreign currency losses of $1,199 and $9,411, respectively.
Page 11
11. Income Tax Expense
During the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our Dutch subsidiaries recorded income tax
expense of $37,020 and $66,459, respectively, as we have fully utilized our net operating loss
carryforwards. We cannot use our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income in
foreign jurisdictions.
12. Business Segment Information
We sell Macroplastique®, a soft tissue bulking material, for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
In addition, we market our soft tissue bulking material for additional indications, including for
the treatment of vocal cord rehabilitation, fecal incontinence and soft tissue facial augmentation.
At this time, we make sales only outside the United States. Our current objectives are to focus on
obtaining U.S. regulatory approvals for Macroplastique and the I-Stop sling for treating stress
urinary incontinence, or SUI, on obtaining U.S. regulatory approvals for the Urgent PC device for
treating overactive bladder and on increasing market penetration and sales of Macroplastique for
the treatment of SUI and vesicoureteral reflux and of PTQ Implants for the treatment of fecal
incontinence in markets outside the U.S. We anticipate initiating marketing in the U.S. once we
obtain the requisite approvals. The Macroplastique product line accounted for 70% and 79% of total
net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, we sell
specialized wound care products in The Netherlands and United Kingdom as a distributor.
Based upon the above, we operate in only one reportable segment consisting of medical products
primarily for the urology market.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We recommend that you read this Report on Form 10-QSB in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2005.
Forward-looking Statements
We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements, including our
statements contained in this filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our reports
to stockholders, as well as elsewhere. Forward-looking statements are statements such as those
contained in projections, plans, objectives, estimates, statements of future economic performance,
and assumptions related to any of the foregoing, and may be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology, such as may, expect, anticipate, estimate, goal, continue,
or other comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to
known and unknown risks and uncertainties relating to our future performance that may cause our
actual results, performance, or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements. Any such statement is qualified by
reference to the following cautionary statements.
Our business operates in highly competitive markets and is subject to changes in general economic
conditions, competition, customer and market preferences, government regulation, the impact of tax
regulation, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the degree of market acceptance of products, the
uncertainties of potential litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed elsewhere
herein and from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
In this filing, the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Various factors and risks (not all
of which are identifiable at this time) could cause our results, performance, or achievements to
differ materially from that contained in our forward-looking statements, and investors are
cautioned that any forward-looking statement contained herein or elsewhere is qualified by and
subject to the warnings and cautionary statements contained above and in our other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
We do not undertake, nor assume obligation, to update any forward-looking statement that we may
make from time to time.
Overview
We are a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative, proprietary
products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions. We have developed, and are developing,
minimally invasive products primarily for the treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence and
overactive bladder symptoms. All products we currently sell have received CE marking and are being
sold outside the United States in approximately 40 countries, including Europe, Canada, Australia
and Latin America.
Our goal is to develop and commercialize a portfolio of minimally invasive products for the
treatment of voiding dysfunctions. We believe that, with a suite of innovative products, we can
increasingly garner the attention of key physicians and distributors and enhance market acceptance
of our products. The key elements of our strategy are to:
|
|
|
Pursue regulatory approval in the U.S. for our Macroplastique, I-Stop and Urgent PC products. |
|
|
|
|
Build our own U.S. marketing and sales organization, using a combination of direct and independent reps; |
|
|
|
|
Expand distribution of our products outside of the U.S.; and |
|
|
|
|
Acquire or license complimentary products if appropriate opportunities arise. |
In furtherance of our first key strategy above, we are concluding a multi-center human clinical
trial using Macroplastique in a minimally invasive, office-based procedure for treating adult
female stress urinary incontinence resulting from intrinsic sphincter deficiency. This is the
weakening of the muscles that control the flow of urine from the bladder. We filed a pre-market
approval (PMA) submission with the FDA describing Macroplastique use for this indication. In July
2005, the FDA recommended we conduct further testing, which we expect will delay possible approval
of Macroplastique until late 2007. For the I-Stop tape, we submitted to the FDA a 510(k)
pre-market notification
Page 13
application
in August 2005.
We are also responsible for obtaining and/or maintaining FDA and foreign regulatory
approvals for the Urgent PC
system. Although the Urgent PC device currently has U.S. pre-market
clearance, in August 2005, we submitted
our own 510(k) pre-market notification application for the version of the device we intend
to sell. We will incur substantial expense in connection with these regulatory activities.
In the United States, we intend to build our own sales and marketing organization to market our
products directly and support our distributor organizations. We will incur significant additional
expenses to establish this sales and marketing team. We likely will begin to incur some of these
expenses in advance of any anticipated regulatory approval, which we could not recoup if we do not
receive such approval.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances
that affect amounts reported. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we have made
our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality. We
believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following are particularly important to
the portrayal of our results of operations and financial position. They may require the
application of a higher level of judgment by Uroplasty management, and as a result are subject to
an inherent degree of uncertainty.
Revenue Recognition. We market and distribute our products through a network of distributors and
through direct sales to end-users in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. We recognize revenue
upon shipment of product to our distributors and direct customers. We have no customer acceptance
provisions or installation obligations. Our sales terms to our distributors and customers provide
no right of return outside of our standard warranty, and payment terms consistent with industry
standards apply. Sales terms and pricing to our distributors are governed by the respective
distribution agreements. Our distribution partners purchase the Uroplasty products to meet sales
demand of their end-user customers as well as to fulfill their internal requirements associated
with the sales process and, if applicable, contractual purchase requirements under the respective
distribution agreements. Internal and other requirements include purchases of products for
training, demonstration and evaluation purposes, clinical evaluations, product support,
establishing inventories, and meeting minimum purchase commitments. As a result, the level of our
net sales during any period is not necessarily indicative of our distributors sales to end-user
customers during that period, which are estimated not to be substantially different than our sales
to those distributors in each of the last two years. Our distributors level of inventories of our
products, their sales to end-user customers and their internal product requirements may impact our
future revenue growth.
Accounts Receivable. We carry our accounts receivable at the original invoice amount less an
estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts. We
determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on customer health, and both historical and
expected credit loss experience. We write off our accounts receivable when we deem them
uncollectible. We record recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off when received.
Inventories. We state inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out
method. We provide lower of cost or market reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventories based
upon current and expected future product sales and the expected impact of product transitions or
modifications. While we expect our sales to grow, a reduction in sales could reduce the demand for
our products and may require additional inventory reserves.
Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions. The financial statements of our foreign
subsidiaries were translated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency
Translation. Under this Statement, we translate all assets and liabilities using period-end
exchange rates, and we translate statements of operations items using average exchange rates for
the period. We record the resulting translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive
loss, a separate component of shareholders equity. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains
and losses in the statement of operations, including unrealized gains and losses on short-term
intercompany obligations using period-end exchange rates, resulting in an increase in the
volatility of our consolidated statements of operations. We recognize unrealized gains and losses
on long-term intercompany obligations within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate
component of shareholders equity.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets at June 30, 2005 consist of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We
measure the recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If we
consider such assets impaired, we measure the impairment to be recognized by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We report assets to be disposed of at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Page 14
Set forth below is managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations for the three-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Results of Operations
Three-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to three-month period ended June 30, 2004
Net Sales: In the first quarter ended June 30, 2005, net sales of all products were $1.6 million,
representing a $107,000 or 6% decrease when compared to net sales of $1.8 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2004. Excluding fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we had a sales
decrease of approximately 10%. The Macroplastique product line accounted for 70% and 79% of total
net sales, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005. Two of our top six
distributor markets, generated minimal sales in the quarter ended
June 30, 2005, due in part to reimbursement changes which we
expect to adversely impact our future sales in those markets.
Additionally, the sling adoption rate for converting physician use of competitive sling devices to
our I-Stop product in the United Kingdom was below our forecast. In those markets affected by
reimbursement issues, and in the United Kingdom, we have launched a two-fold strategy to increase
sales of our products. First, we are conducting workshops targeted to key incontinence surgeons.
Second, we are seeking to broaden our patient base to include treatments for fecal incontinence and
overactive bladder (OAB), which we will support with our platform of new products.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively, or 74% of net sales in both periods. Gross profit as a percentage of net
sales in any one specific period may fluctuate, based on the following factors: our unit sales, our
utilization of manufacturing capacity, the mix of products sold with different gross margins, the
mix of customers (and different discounts to them), the mix of direct sales versus sales through
distributors (with higher margins on direct sales), and currency fluctuations. Historically, the
gross margin has ranged from approximately 70-80% of net sales.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased from
$391,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to $691,000 during the first quarter of fiscal
2006. The G&A expense increase related to increased salary costs of $160,000, a $65,000 increase in
accounting and legal professional fees, a $70,000 information technology (IT) consulting expense,
and general price increases and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The increased
salary cost relates to added personnel. The IT consulting expense relates to the expected
implementation of a new computer software system.
Research and Development Expense: Research and development (R&D) expenses increased from
$580,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to $631,000 during the first quarter of fiscal
2006. The increase in R&D expense is due to added personnel, general price increases and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Selling and Marketing Expenses: Selling and marketing (S&M) costs increased from $528,000 during
the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to $664,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase
resulted from an $85,000 increase in personnel costs, increase in travel expenses, increased costs
relating to trade-shows, conventions and congresses, and general price increases and fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates. The increased personnel cost relates to added personnel.
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense,
warrants expense, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating costs when
incurred. Our financial results are subject to material fluctuations based on changes in currency
exchange rates. Other expense was $665,000 and $8,700 for the first quarters ended June 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively.
In July 2002, we conducted a rights offering pursuant to which our stockholders purchased certain
units consisting of shares of our common stock and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for
two years at $2.00 per share. However, we suspended the exercise of the warrants when we delayed
the filing of our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. As a
result, 706,218 of the warrants lapsed unexercised at July 31, 2004. In April 2005, we granted a
like number of new common stock purchase warrants to the holders of the expired warrants. The new
warrants will be exercisable at $2.00 per share for 45 days after the effective date of a new
registration
Page 15
statement that we
currently plan to file covering the shares underlying these warrants. In April 2005, we
recognized a liability of $1.4
million associated with the grant of these warrants. We reported expense of approximately $686,000
in the first quarter due to the increase in the fair value of these warrants at June 30, 2005.
We recognize exchange gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates
between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the euro and British pound
(currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated short-term
intercompany obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. We recognized foreign currency
losses of $1,200 and $9,400 for the first quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Income Tax Expense: Our Dutch subsidiaries recorded income tax expense of $37,000 and $66,000 for
the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as they have fully utilized their net
operating loss carryforwards. We cannot use the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards to offset
taxable income in foreign jurisdictions. We expect continued profits for our Dutch subsidiaries and
therefore continued income tax expenses. The Dutch income tax rate is 27% for 22,689
(approximately $27,000) of profit and 31.5% for amounts above 22,689.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2005, our cash and cash equivalent balances totaled $7.0 million.
At June 30, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $5.8 million. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2006, we used $900,000 of cash in operating activities, compared to $200,000 of cash used in
the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The usage of cash was primarily attributable to the net loss
incurred of $1,500,000 (adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities
totaled $750,000). Inventory increased by $200,000, due to production planning requirements and
manufacturing lead times. Accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued
expenses fluctuated due to the timing of payments and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates.
Our financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected by fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates and weak economic conditions in foreign markets where we sell and
distribute our products. The effects of these conditions could include reduced unit sales and
reduced sales in dollars when converted from foreign currency amounts and material gains and losses
on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Furthermore, because our U.S. operations are
funded by sales denominated in foreign currency, strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro,
and/or the British pound could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.
Sources of Liquidity. In March 2005, we entered into a business loan agreement with Venture Bank,
pursuant to which we may borrow up to $500,000 on a revolving basis. All amounts which the bank
advances to us are due in March 2006, unless the bank renews the agreement. Amounts advanced to us
accrue interest at a variable rate of 1% in excess of the published prime rate in the Wall Street
Journal, with a minimum rate of 6% per annum. We are obligated to pay interest monthly on the
outstanding principal balance. Advances under this agreement are secured by substantially all our
assets. At June 30, 2005 we had no outstanding balance under the agreement.
In April 2005, we conducted a private placement of common stock in which we sold 2,147,142 shares
of our common stock at a price per share of $3.50, together with warrants to purchase 1,180,928
shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.5 million. These
proceeds were offset by costs of approximately $700,000, resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$6.8 million. The warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $4.75 per share.
In
connection with our April 2005 private placement, we agreed to
file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the
shares (including those underlying the warrants) that we sold. We
also agreed that, for each month after May 21, 2005, that we
failed to file this registration statement, and for each month after
July 20, 2005 that the SEC did not declare it effective, we
would pay liquidated damages at a rate of 1% of the aggregate
investment. We filed the registration statement on July 20, 2005
and the SEC declared it effective on July 29, 2005. Accordingly,
we owe approximately $148,500 of liquidated damages to the investors,
which will continue to accrue interest at 10% per annum until paid.
We intend to seek a waiver from the investors of these liquidated
damages, but we cannot assure that all or any of the investors will
grant us this waiver. We recorded a liability in our financial
statements beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 related to
these liquidated damages.
Commitments and Contingencies. We believe that our current resources, funds generated from sale of
our products outside the U.S. along with existing bank arrangements and the proceeds received from
the recently completed private placement will be adequate to meet our cash flow needs, including
regulatory activities associated with existing products, through fiscal 2006. Ultimately, we will
need to achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations to fund our operations and
grow our business beyond fiscal 2006.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs for regulatory activities associated with
obtaining regulatory approval in the United States for Macroplastique, the I-Stop sling and Urgent
PC device. For fiscal 2006, we have budgeted approximately $4.2 million for our R&D expenses,
including those we expect to incur in connection with the additional testing on Macroplastique
recently recommended by the FDA. We also expect that during fiscal 2006, our selling and marketing
expenses will increase as we prepare for the initial U.S. marketing of our products. In addition,
we currently expect general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2006 to increase as we prepare to
implement the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Page 16
In April 2005, we entered into an exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement with
CystoMedix for the Urgent PC product. We paid CystoMedix an initial royalty payment of $225,000
which has been capitalized as licensed technology and will be amortized over the term of the
agreement. Also, we are paying an additional $250,000 in 12 monthly installments of $20,833. We
will also pay CystoMedix a 7% royalty on product sales. However, the 7% royalty is first offset
against the monthly royalty installments.
CystoMedix has also granted us an exclusive option to acquire its assets. The option price is
$3,485,000, reduced by up to $50,000 of liabilities assumed by us. However, the $3,485,000 amount
used to compute the option price will increase at a rate of 10% per year after April 2007. The
option price is payable in shares of our common stock valued at the average of the closing bid
price of our shares for the 20 trading days prior to our exercise of the option. We may exercise
the option between January 2006 and June 2008. If we exercise the option, we will also assume up
to $1.4 million of bridge loan advances made to CystoMedix by its Chairman. We would repay up to
$1.1 million of the bridge loan advances at closing and would issue our common stock for the
balance of the bridge loan based on the above option price. We also have certain rights of first
refusal to acquire CystoMedixs assets in the event CystoMedix receives a third party offer in
advance of any exercise of our option. Depending on our available cash, we might need to raise
additional equity or debt funds in order to consummate the CystoMedix acquisition, should we elect
to do so.
We are obligated to pay royalties of 5% of net sales in the U.S. of Macroplastique products with a
minimum of $50,000 per year. The duration of this royalty agreement is through May 1, 2006. Under
another royalty agreement we pay royalties, in the aggregate, of three to five percent of net sales
of Macroplastique, Bioplastique, and PTQ Implants subject to a monthly minimum of $4,500. The
royalties payable under this agreement will continue until the patent referenced in the agreement
expires in 2010. Under a license agreement for the Macroplastique Implantation System, we pay a
royalty of 10 British pounds for each unit sold during the life of the patent.
We have a pension plan covering 16 employees in The Netherlands, reported as a defined benefit
plan. We pay premiums to an insurance company to fund annuities for these employees. However, we
are responsible for funding additional annuities based on continued service and future salary
increases. This defined benefit plan is closed for new employees effective April 2005. As of that
date, the Dutch subsidiary established a defined contribution plan that now covers new employees.
We also closed our UK subsidiarys defined benefit plan to further accrual for all employees
effective December 31, 2004. In March 2005, the UK subsidiary established a defined contribution
plan that now covers new employees.
Under our agreement with CL Medical for the I-Stop product, we have agreed to purchase our entire
requirement of product components from CL Medical. Contingent on U.S. FDA clearance of the product
for U.S. sale, we also have specified minimum purchase requirements of $240,000 of units in the
first year thereafter, increasing to approximately $1.9 million of units over a five year period
subject to periodic adjustment based on the value of the euro.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, our
President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rule 13a-15b under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, these officers
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms.
Internal Control Matters. We also maintain a system of internal accounting controls designed to
provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our transactions and
that our policies and procedures are followed. Except as described below, there have been no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, or
thereafter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with a review of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31,
2005 and the audit of those statements by our independent registered public accounting firm, we
determined that our year-end financial statement closing process did not ensure that all
significant elements of our consolidated financial statements were adequately reviewed. In our
post-closing and audit processes, certain issues were discovered by us and our independent
registered public accounting firm that resulted in adjustments to our consolidated financial
statements, specifically with respect to our inventory valuation and income tax provision. We
discovered these matters before our consolidated financial statements were completed, and they were
properly accounted for in our financial statements. However, we have concluded that the failure to
discover these items in our regular closing process was a result of a significant deficiency,
resulting primarily from a lack of segregation of duties due to the size of our company and the
geographic distance between our key financial personnel, that constitutes a material weakness in
the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting.
|
|
|
A significant deficiency is defined as a control deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, that adversely affects a companys ability to initiate, authorize, record,
process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement
of the companys financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be
prevented or detected. |
|
|
|
|
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant
deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of
the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. |
Although the items described above were properly accounted for before completing our consolidated
financial statements, we have concluded that the failure to discover these items in our regular
closing process was a material weakness because the elements of our consolidated financial
statements that were not adequately reviewed were material to our consolidated financial statements
and there was more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our consolidated
financial statements would not be prevented or detected.
We have discussed the material weakness described above with our Audit Committee. Our management is
working with our Audit committee to identify and implement corrective actions where required to
improve the effectiveness of our internal controls, including the enhancement of our systems and
procedures. Specifically, we are enhancing and formalizing our period-end closing processes to
ensure that all significant elements of our consolidated financial statements are adequately
reviewed.
Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control
system inherently has limitations, and the benefits of controls must be weighed against their
costs. 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. Therefore, no evaluation
of a cost-effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and
instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Except as indicated below, none of the items contained in PART II of Form 10-QSB are applicable to
us for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July
15, 2005, our former Vice President of Research and Development and
Managing Director of our United Kingdom subsidiary filed a petition
in Dutch court. The petition requested the Dutch court to terminate
his employment agreement with us and made a claim for 528,058
(or approximately $636,000) in severance compensation as well as
other damages. We opposed the petition and sought to pay no more than
approximately $100,000 in total severance compensation under the
employment agreement. In August 2005, the Dutch court granted a total
award to the former employee of
177,000
(or approximately $219,000).
We do not plan to appeal this determination.
