HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share data)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (the Company)
presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of
the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 28, 2002,
included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on December 24, 2002.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2002, the consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 28,
2002 and December 29, 2001, are unaudited but, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary
for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.
The results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2002 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal
year ending September 27, 2003. Certain prior-period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current-period presentation.
(2) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist of the following:
December 28, September 28,
2002 2002
------------ -------------
Raw materials and work-in-process ............... $30,288 $30,637
Finished goods .................................. 9,148 7,218
------- -------
$39,436 $37,855
======= =======
Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor
and manufacturing overhead.
(3) Net Loss Per Share
Diluted net loss per share for the first three months of fiscal 2003 and
2002 is computed in the same way as basic, as all common equivalent shares are
considered antidilutive due to the Company's net loss position. Diluted weighted
average shares outstanding do not include options outstanding to purchase 3,606
and 3,839 common-equivalent shares as of December 28, 2002 and December 29,
2001, respectively, as their effect would have been antidilutive.
(4) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company historically utilized a distributor in the United States for
certain product lines. This distributor had amounts due to the Company of
approximately $4,444 as of December 28, 2002 and $7,775 as of September 28,
2002, and accounted for 20.5% and 22.5% of revenues for the first three months
of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal
2003, the Company terminated its relationship
6
with this distributor and commenced a direct sales effort in the U.S. for the
product lines previously carried by this distributor. There were no other
customers with balances greater than 10% of accounts receivable as of December
28, 2002 or September 28, 2002 or customers with greater than 10% of the
Company's revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 or fiscal 2002.
In prior years, the Company financed certain sales to Latin America over a
two-to-three year time-frame. At December 28, 2002, the Company had total
accounts receivable outstanding of approximately $2,066 relating to these sales,
of which $38 were long-term and included in other assets. As of December 28,
2002, the Company has not experienced any significant change in these
receivables, however, the economic and currency related uncertainties in these
countries may increase the likelihood of non-payment.
(5) Comprehensive Loss
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive loss and
its components in the financial statements. The Company's only item of other
comprehensive loss relates to foreign currency translation adjustments, and is
presented separately on the balance sheet as required.
A reconciliation of comprehensive loss is as follows:

------- -------
Comprehensive loss ............................... $(1,018) $(1,695)
======= =======
(6) Restructuring Costs
During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company announced the
finalization of an exit strategy for the Hologic Systems Division. As part of
this exit strategy, the Company closed its conventional general radiography
manufacturing facility in Littleton, Massachusetts, and relocated certain of its
product lines and sales and support personnel to the corporate headquarters in
Bedford, Massachusetts. The Company accrued costs of approximately $3,500
related to the closing as part of the final Trex Medical purchase price
allocation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. These costs included amounts
for lease abandonment, as well as for the write-off of certain fixed assets and
accounts receivable. The Company commenced the closure in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 and completed the closure in January 2002. The Company also incurred
a restructuring charge of approximately $806 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002
primarily comprised of severance costs related to the termination of 85
employees at the Littleton facility. In addition, the Company incurred severance
costs of approximately $561 and $208 in connection with the closure of the
Company's direct sales and service office in Paris, France and the continued
reduction of Lorad's workforce, respectively. The severance charges related to
the workforce reductions of 5 persons in France and 20 persons at Lorad across
all functional areas.
Cash payments totaled approximately $51 and $412 for the three months ended
December 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001, respectively. Approximately $56 and
$107 in restructuring liabilities remained in accrued expenses in the
accompanying balance sheet at December 28, 2002 and September 28, 2002,
respectively.

operating segments: the manufacture and sale of Osteoporosis Assessment
products, Mammography products, Digital Imaging products, Mini-C Arm Imaging
products and General Radiography products. Intersegment sales and transfers are
not significant. Segment information for the three months ended December 28,
2002 and December 29, 2001 is as follows:

totaled approximately $8,882, and for the three months ended December 29, 2001
totaled approximately $7,456.
Transfers between the Company and its European subsidiaries are generally
recorded at amounts similar to the prices paid by unaffiliated foreign dealers.
All intercompany profit is eliminated in consolidation.

Asia 7 8
All others 2 2

(8) Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various types
of litigation. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims,
and, in its opinion, all litigation currently pending or threatened will not
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
(9) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148 ("SFAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure." SFAS 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and
provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148
also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent
and frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of
stock-based compensation. The transition guidance and annual disclosure
provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are
effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2002. Adoption of SFAS 148 is not expected
to materially impact our financial position, cash flows and results of
operations.
(10) Note Receivable from Officer
In fiscal 2000 and 2001, the Company loaned an officer an aggregate of
$500,000, which is required to be repaid quarterly beginning in April 2003
through April 2006. In the event of a change in control, as defined, the amounts
outstanding will be forgiven. The note is unsecured and bears interest at 7% per
annum.
In December 2002, in recognition of the exceptional service rendered to the
Company by the officer, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
approved a special bonus program to provide the officer with the funds necessary
to pay the quarterly installments due under the loan. Under the special bonus
program, for so long as the officer remains an officer of the Company and there
are amounts remaining to be repaid under the loan, the Company will pay the
officer a special quarterly bonus equal to the amount due under the loan,
including interest due, plus an additional payment equal to the taxes due as a
result of the special bonus and such additional payment, such that the
net-after-tax special quarterly bonus to be received by the officer will equal
the principal and interest then due under the loan.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This report contains forward-looking information that involves risks and
uncertainties, including statements regarding our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions. Such statements include, without limitation,
statements regarding various estimates we have made in preparing our financial
statements as well as statements regarding expected future trends relating to
our results of operations. These forward-looking statements are subject to known
and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause actual results to
materially differ include, without limitation, our ability to expand our direct
sales and service team for both the near and longer-term to effectively
implement our direct sales strategy; manufacturing risks that may limit our
ability to ramp-up commercial production of the Selenia and other of our digital
products, including our reliance on a single source of supply for some key
components of our products as well as the need to comply with especially high
standards for those components and in the manufacture of digital X-ray products
in general; uncertainties inherent in the development of new products and the
enhancement of existing products, including technical and regulatory risks, cost
overruns and delays; the risk that newly introduced products may contain
undetected errors or defects or otherwise not perform as anticipated; our
ability to predict accurately the demand for our products and to develop
strategies to address our markets successfully; the early stage of market
development for digital X-ray products; risks relating to compliance with
financial covenants under our working capital financing and leases; technical
innovations that could render products marketed or under development by us
obsolete; competition; and reimbursement policies for the use of our products.
Other factors that could adversely affect our business and prospects are
described in our filings with Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as
otherwise required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking
to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect
any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to customer
programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments,
intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring and
contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and
on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or conditions. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial
condition and results of operations. For a discussion of how these and other
factors may affect our business, see the "Cautionary Statement" above and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended September 28, 2002.
10
In addition to the accounting policies, which are more fully described in
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2002, we have identified
the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our
financial statements that we believe affect our more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements
presented in this report that are not otherwise reflected in our fiscal 2002
Annual Report and our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in that report.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize product revenue upon shipment, provided that we determine
there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, there are no uncertainties
regarding acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of
the resulting receivable is probable and only perfunctory obligations included
in the arrangement remain to be completed. We recognize product revenue upon the
completion of installation for product shipments that require more than
perfunctory obligations at the time of shipment, specifically for our digital
imaging systems. A provision is made at the time of revenue recognition for
estimated warranty costs to be incurred. Our products are generally covered for
a one year period from the date of installation. We test the adequacy of our
warranty reserves quarterly by reviewing our most recent warranty repair
experience by product. Our product failure rates and service delivery costs have
been consistent over the past three fiscal years for our continuing product
lines. Our warranty accrual was approximately $5.0 million, as of December 28,
2002 and September 28, 2002. Service and other revenues, which primarily
includes maintenance contracts, replacement parts and services and fee-per-scan
revenues are recorded ratably over the contract period for maintenance
contracts, at the time of shipment for replacement parts, as the service is
rendered or as the fees are collected for fee-per-scan revenue.
Inventory
Our inventories include material, labor and overhead, and are stated at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. We write down inventory for
estimated obsolescence based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions, which may negatively affect our ability to dispose of inventory. If
actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management,
additional inventory write-downs may be required, which would have a negative
effect on our results of operations.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial
condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of
their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We
perform a specific bad debt review on a quarterly basis to determine the amount
of reserve required based on the outstanding balance due and the age of the
balance. We also provide a general reserve to cover items not specifically
reviewed. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $4.5 million and $4.6 million
as of December 29, 2002 and September 28, 2002, respectively.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". This statement requires that we recognize a current tax liability or
asset for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or
asset for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences and
carryforwards to the extent they are realizable. We record a valuation allowance
to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to
be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent
and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation
allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize
our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an
11
adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such
determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able
to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an
adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period
such determination was made.
We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on earnings of our subsidiaries
outside of the U.S. Our intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or
to repatriate the earnings only when tax-effective to do so. It is not practical
to estimate the amount of additional taxes that might be payable upon
repatriation of foreign earnings; however, we believe that U.S. foreign tax
credits would largely eliminate any U.S. taxes or offset any foreign withholding
taxes.
Stock Based Compensation
The company accounts for stock-based compensation under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only
alternative under SFAS No. 123 that requires disclosure of the pro forma effects
on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been
adopted, as well as certain other information.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total Revenues. Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2003
increased 3% to $49.0 million from $47.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2002. This increase was primarily due to an increase in unit sales of our
mammography products and to a lesser extent, mini c-arm products. Partially
offsetting these increases was the elimination of product sales from our
conventional general radiography business and, to a lesser extent, lower digital
imaging sales. We completed the phase-out of the unprofitable conventional
general radiography product line we acquired from Trex Medical during the third
quarter of fiscal 2002.
Product Sales. Product sales in our mammography business increased
approximately 37% to $17.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from
$13.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in the number of mammography systems sold in the United
States and, to a lesser extent, in Europe. During the quarter ended December 28,
2002, the Company terminated its relationship with the distributor who sold the
Company's mammography line in the United States. This distributor accounted for
31.6% and 47.3% of mammography sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and
2002, respectively.
Mini c-arm product sales increased 50% to $4.1 million in the first three
months of fiscal 2003 from $2.7 million in the first three months of fiscal
2002. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of Premier
systems sold in the United States.
Osteoporosis Assessment product sales increased 2% to $12.7 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2003 from $12.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2002. These revenues increased primarily due to an increase in the number of
systems sold internationally.
Digital imaging product sales decreased 19% to $4.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to revenues of $5.2 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2002. The decline in revenues was primarily attributable to delays in
shipments relating to customer room readiness issues and to delays in receiving
acceptable quantities of panels from our Selenium coating vendors, which
resulted in a decrease in the number of digital systems and the number of
digital plates sold.
Conventional general radiography product sales have been eliminated since
our decision to phase-out our unprofitable conventional general radiography
product line during fiscal 2002. These product revenues totaled $3.2 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
12
In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, approximately 77% of product sales
were generated in the United States, 14% in Europe and 9% in other international
markets. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, approximately 80% of product sales
were generated in the United States, 10% in Europe and 10% in other
international markets.
Service and Other Revenue. Service and other revenue is primarily comprised
of revenue generated from our field service organization to provide ongoing
service and repair of our products. Service and other revenue decreased 8% to
$10.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to $11.0 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in service and other revenue in
fiscal 2003 was primarily due to decreases in revenue from the licensing of
certain mammography patented technology and additional fee-per-scan revenues
compared to the first quarter of last year.
Costs of Product Sales. The cost of product sales decreased as a percentage
of product sales to 53% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from 59% in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2002 cost of product sales includes $3.2
million of expenses related to the unprofitable conventional general radiography
products phased-out in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Excluding the effect of
these products, costs of product sales as a percentage of product revenue would
have been 55% in fiscal 2002. These costs decreased as a percentage of product
sales primarily due to improved gross margins recognized on the mammography
products and the mini c-arm products as a result of a significant increase in
revenues. The increased volume has improved the absorption of manufacturing
overhead at our manufacturing facilities for those products. DRC continues to
have significant fixed manufacturing costs and is operating significantly below
manufacturing capacity. The decrease in digital imaging revenues resulted in
lower margins for these product sales. However, margins on these products were
positive for the first quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2002.
Costs of Service and Other Revenue. Cost of service and other revenue
increased as a percentage of service and other revenue to 105% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 from 77% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. These costs
increased as a percentage of service and other revenue primarily due to
additional personnel and other costs in our field service area to expand our
United States service capabilities for our digital mammography and general
radiography systems and to assume direct coverage of territories previously
assigned to distributors, as well as to our lower other revenue. We expect our
costs of service and other revenue to remain relatively high as a percentage of
service and other revenue, reflecting our need to hire the required personnel
for warranty and installation service in advance of entering into service
agreements in connection with our transition to digital mammography and direct
service coverage.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
decreased 10% to $4.8 million, 10% of total revenues, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003 from $5.3 million, 11% of total revenues, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in research and
development spending and personnel primarily related to our phase-out of the
conventional general radiography product line in fiscal 2002. In addition,
approximately $2.0 million and $1.8 million of the total in the first three
months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, of these expenses related to the
development of digital mammography and digital general radiography systems and
detectors at DRC.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased
30% to $8.9 million, 18% of total revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003
from $6.8 million, 14% of total revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2002
primarily due to higher trade show expenses and to additional personnel and
other costs incurred to expand our United States coverage of territories
previously assigned to distributors. In the 2003 quarter we incurred marketing
expenses of approximately $1.0 million over the previous year's quarter for our
exhibit at the Radiological Society of North America ("RSNA") medical imaging
trade show.
13
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
9% to $5.2 million, 11% of total revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003
compared to $4.8 million, 10% of total revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal
2002. This increase was primarily due to additional personnel and increased
travel expenses.
Restructuring costs. Restructuring costs in the first quarter of fiscal
2002 were primarily the result of our efforts to streamline operations and
eliminate unprofitable product lines. We incurred a restructuring charge of
approximately $806,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 primarily comprised
of severance costs related to the termination of 85 employees at our former
Littleton facility. In addition, we incurred severance costs of approximately
$561,000 and $208,000 in connection with the closure of our direct sales and
service office in Paris and the continued reduction of Lorad's workforce,
respectively. We did not incur any restructuring costs in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003.
Interest Income. Interest income increased to $176,000 in the current
quarter from $88,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was due
to a higher investment base than in the prior year, primarily as a result of
receiving approximately $25 million from our sale of common stock in December
2001.
Interest/Other Expense. In the first quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2002, we
incurred other expenses of approximately $25,000 and $799,000, respectively. In
the first quarter of fiscal 2003, these expenses were primarily due to the
interest costs on the Foothill Capital Corporation note payable which were
partially offset by foreign currency transaction gains. In the first quarter of
fiscal 2002, these expenses included interest costs of approximately $717,000 on
the $25 million note payable issued in connection with the Trex Medical
acquisition, and to a lesser extent, foreign currency transaction losses and
interest costs on a bank line of credit used by our European subsidiaries to
borrow funds in their local currencies to pay for intercompany sales, thereby
reducing the foreign currency exposure on those transactions. In September 2002,
we paid off the note payable to Trex Medical with the proceeds from the
sale/leaseback transaction of two of our facilities. To the extent that foreign
currency exchange rates fluctuate in the future, we may be exposed to continued
financial risk. Although we have established a borrowing line of credit
denominated in the foreign currency, the euro, in which our subsidiaries
currently conduct business to minimize this risk, we cannot assure that we will
be successful or can fully hedge our outstanding exposure.
Provision for Income Taxes. Although the Company incurred losses during the
first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company did not record a benefit for
income taxes, but has provided for certain minimum taxes where net operating
losses cannot be used.
Segment Results of Operations
Our businesses are reported as five segments: osteoporosis assessment;
mammography; digital imaging; mini c-arm imaging; and general radiography. The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
footnotes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and our
consolidated financial statements included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form
10-K. We measure segment performance based on total revenues and operating
income or loss. Revenues from each of these segments are described above. The
discussion that follows is a summary analysis of the primary changes in
operating income or loss by segment.
Osteoporosis Assessment. Reported operating income for osteoporosis
assessment was $1.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to
$2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in operating
income for this business segment was primarily due to a $344,000 reduction in
fee-per-scan revenues which have a 100% gross margin, increased trade show
expenses and the addition of rent expense in excess of depreciation as a result
of the sale/leaseback of our corporate headquarters in September 2002. Partially
offsetting these increases was a decrease in restructuring costs incurred in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002.
14
Mammography. Operating income for this business segment in the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased to $770,000 from $944,000 in the corresponding
quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in operating income in the current quarter
was primarily due to additional personnel and other costs in the field service
and sales areas to expand our United States service capabilities for our digital
mammography products and to assume direct coverage of territories previously
assigned to distributors, increased marketing costs related to our major trade
show and rent expense in excess of depreciation as a result of our
sale/leaseback of the Danbury facility in September 2002. Partially offsetting
these increases was additional gross margin from the $4.9 million increase in
product revenues and a decrease in restructuring costs incurred in the first
quarter of fiscal 2002.
Digital Imaging. The digital imaging business operating loss increased 123%
to $4.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from $2.1 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was due to a number of factors
including a reduction in both gross profit and gross margins related to the
decrease in revenues, an increase in manufacturing costs of the digital
detectors due to vendor quality problems, increased personnel and other costs in
selling and cost of service expenses to provide direct sales and service
coverage for our digital radiography products, increased tradeshow expenses and
increased research and development spending related to the development of our
two new product offerings.
Mini C-Arm Imaging. The mini c-arm business operating income increased 47%
to $790,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to $537,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. This improvement was primarily attributable to
improved gross margins from the significant increase in product sales, that was
partially offset by increased trade show expense.
General Radiography. As previously discussed, we have closed the
manufacturing facility of the Hologic Systems Division and relocated certain of
its product lines and sales and service support personnel to our corporate
headquarters. Our revenue in this business segment in the current quarter is
from our ongoing service business. This business segment reported operating
income of $311,000 for the current quarter compared to an operating loss of
$2,394,000 for the same period last year primarily due to our phasing-out the
unprofitable product sales and related operating expenses from this business
during fiscal 2002. We expect the continuing service business to remain at the
current profitability level for the remainder of this fiscal year.
Acquired In-Process Technology
As part of the Trex Medical purchase price allocation, all intangible
assets that were a part of the acquisition were identified and valued. It was
determined that technology assets and assembled workforce had value. At the
acquisition date, Trex Medical was conducting design, development, engineering
and testing activities associated with the completion of several research and
development projects related to its Mammography and General Radiography-R/F
lines of business. As part of our exit strategy for the conventional general
radiography business, we have terminated the development projects and efforts
for the General Radiography-R/F line of business. We will not incur any further
expenditures related to these projects.
Since the acquisition, we have used the acquired in-process technology to
develop new products, which have or are expected to become part of our product
lines when completed. However, we are constantly reviewing the allocation of our
research and development resources to respond to the ever changing market and
technology developments, as well as developments of our own internally developed
and acquired evolving technology portfolio. Also, we have combined acquired
research and development projects with other of our development activities, and
we have delayed two projects.
As of December 28, 2002 our expenditures incurred and estimates to complete
our acquired in-process projects related to the Mammography business were
consistent with our initial expectations other than the delays mentioned above.
If we are not successful in implementing our projects, we may be unable to
realize the remaining value assigned to this in-process technology. In addition,
the remaining value of the other acquired intangible assets associated with this
technology may also become impaired.
15
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 28, 2002 we had approximately $97.0 million of working capital.
At that date our cash and cash equivalents totaled $43.2 million. Our cash and
cash equivalents balance decreased approximately $2.6 million during the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 primarily due to purchases of property and equipment and
the use of cash in operating activities.
Our cash used in operating activities reflected a net loss of $912,000 for
the first quarter of fiscal 2003 plus changes in our current assets and
liabilities, that were partially offset by non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization of $1.7 million. Cash used in operations due to changes in our
current assets and liabilities included a decrease in accrued expenses of $3.0
million, an increase in inventories of $1.6 million and a decrease in deferred
revenue of $547,000 that were partially offset by a decrease in accounts
receivable of $4.2 million. The decrease in accrued expenses was primarily due
to the timing of payments. The increase in inventory is in finished goods in the
digital imaging and mammography businesses primarily due to delayed
installations of digital imaging systems and to increased mammography inventory
in response to higher revenues. The decrease in accounts receivable was
primarily due to improved collections in the osteoporosis assessment and
mammography businesses.
In the first three months of fiscal 2003, we used approximately $2.6
million of cash in investing activities. This use of cash was primarily
attributable to purchases of property and equipment of $2.4 million which
consisted primarily of the corporate wide computer information software and
hardware, manufacturing equipment and leasehold/building improvements.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, financing activities provided us with
$337,000 of cash. These cash flows included approximately $565,000 from the
exercise of stock options partially offset by $229,000 of repayments of our
notes payable.
As of December 28, 2002 we had short term borrowings, including the current
portion of our long term obligations, of $480,000 and long term notes payable
totaling $2.0 million. The short term borrowings represent the current portion
of our long term notes payable. The long term notes payable consisted of the
$1.3 million borrowed from Foothill Capital Corporation as the long term portion
of our term loan under our credit facility, and the $733,000 balance due on the
note to Fleet Business Credit, LLC.
In September 2001 we obtained a secured loan from Foothill Capital
Corporation. The loan agreement with Foothill Capital Corporation provides for a
term loan of approximately $2.4 million, which we borrowed at signing, and a
revolving line of credit facility. The maximum amount we can borrow under the
loan agreement is $25 million with an option for us to increase this amount to
$30 million during the term of the Agreement, if certain conditions are met. The
loan agreement contains financial and other covenants and the actual amount
which we can borrow under the line of credit at any time is based upon a formula
tied to the amount of our qualifying accounts receivable and inventory. The term
loan accrues interest at prime (4.25% at December 28, 2002) plus 1.25% for five
years. The line of credit advances accrue interest at prime plus 0.5%. The line
of credit expires in September 2004. We were in compliance with all covenants at
December 28, 2002.
Our Fleet note payable bears interest at prime plus 1% and is payable in
full by August 10, 2004.
We maintain an unsecured line of credit with a European bank for the
equivalent of $3.0 million, which bears interest at the Europe Interbank Offered
Rate (3.32% at September 28, 2002) plus 1.5%. The borrowings under this line are
primarily used by our European subsidiaries to settle intercompany sales and are
denominated in the respective local currencies of its European subsidiaries. The
line of credit may be canceled by the bank with 30 days notice. At December 28,
2002 and September 28, 2002, there were no outstanding borrowings under this
line.
16
In April 2002, we began an implementation project for an integrated
enterprise wide software application. On November 24, 2002, we began operational
use of this software application at the Bedford, MA and Newark, DE facilities
and plan to have the Danbury, Connecticut and Brussels, Belgium locations
implemented during fiscal 2003. Through December 28, 2002 we have made payments
totaling $2.4 million for hardware, software and consulting services. We expect
to make additional payments of approximately $600,000 in the remainder of fiscal
2003 in connection with this implementation. Most of the cost is currently being
capitalized and we began to amortize these costs over their expected useful
lives in December 2002.
In September 2002, we completed a sale/leaseback transaction for our
headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Bedford, Massachusetts and
our LORAD manufacturing facility in Danbury, Connecticut. The transaction
resulted in net proceeds to us of $31.4 million. The new lease for these
facilities, including the associated land, has a term of 20 years, with four
five-year renewal terms, which we may exercise at our option. The basic rent for
the facilities is $3.2 million per year, which is subject to adjustment for
increases in the consumer price index. The aggregate total minimum lease
payments during the initial 20-year term are $62.9 million. In addition, we are
required to maintain the facilities during the term of the lease and to pay all
taxes, insurance, utilities and other costs associated with those facilities.
Under the lease, we make customary representations and warranties and agree to
certain financial covenants and indemnities. In the event we default on the
lease, the landlord may terminate the lease, accelerate payments and collect
liquidated damages.
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments
as of December 28, 2002:
Payments Due by Period
----------------------
(in thousands)
Contractual Obligations Total Less than 1 year 2-3 years 4-5 years Thereafter
- ----------------------- ------- ---------------- --------- --------- ----------
Long Term Debt $ 2,520 $ 480 $ 2,040 $ -- $ --
Operating Leases $65,990 $4,837 $ 8,406 $6,460 $46,287
------- ------ ------- ------ -------
Total Contractual
Cash Obligations $68,510 $5,317 $10,446 $6,460 $46,287
======= ====== ======= ====== =======
Except as set forth above, we do not have any other significant capital
commitments. We are working on several projects, with an emphasis on direct
radiography plates and systems. We believe that we have sufficient funds in
order to fund our expected operations over the next twelve months.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and Derivative
Commodity Instruments. SFAS No. 107, Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments.
Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short and long-term
investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations. The
fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amount.
Primary Market Risk Exposures. Our primary market risk exposures are in the
areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. We incur
interest expense on loans made under a loan and security agreement with Foothill
Capital Corporation (the Foothill Agreement) and a European line of credit. The
Foothill Agreement term loan accrues interest at the prime rate plus 1.25% and
the European Line of Credit accrues interest at the Europe Interbank Offered
Rate plus 1.50%. At December 28, 2002, we had $1.8 million outstanding under the
Foothill Agreement and there were no amounts outstanding under the line of
credit.
17
Substantially all of our sales outside the United States are conducted in
U.S. dollar denominated transactions. We operate two European subsidiaries which
incur expenses denominated in local currencies. However, we believe that these
operating expenses will not have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations or financial condition.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Within the 90-day period prior to the date of this report, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures, which have been designed to permit us to
effectively identify and timely disclose important information. They concluded
that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Since the date of
the evaluation, we have made no significant changes in our internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls.
