Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)


1. General
 
The consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2003 and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The consolidated condensed balance sheet for December 31, 2002 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2003.

The consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Matria Healthcare, Inc. (“Matria” or the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2002.


2. Comprehensive Earnings
 
Comprehensive earnings generally include all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive earnings consist of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments (net of income taxes) and changes in unrealized appreciation on available-for-sale securities (net of income taxes). Comprehensive earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $1,291 and $1,573, respectively.


3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

 
 
March 31, 2003
   
 
 
 

 Carrying
Amount

 

 Fair
 Value

 
   
 
 
 
 
Senior notes
 
$
114,759
 
$
116,510
 
Interest rate swap arrangement
 
$
754
 
$
754
 


The carrying amount of the senior notes has been reduced to reflect an adjustment for the fair value of the portion of the senior notes included in the interest rate swap arrangement and is net of the unamortized discount. The estimated fair value of the above financial instruments is based upon the quoted market prices and the estimated amount that the Company would pay to terminate the interest rate swap agreement at March 31, 2003. The Company’s other financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those assets and liabilities.
 
   

 
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Effective March 5, 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank involving $50,000 of the Company’s senior notes. This transaction, which terminates in May 2008 if early termination rights are not exercised, is considered to be a hedge against changes in the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt obligation and is used to lower the Company’s overall borrowing costs. Under the arrangement, the bank will pay the Company an 11% fixed rate of interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1. The Company will pay the bank semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 a variable rate of interest based on the six-month LIBOR rate plus 7.535%. The variable rate for the period from March 5, 2003 to May 1, 2003 was 8.825 %, resulting in a reduction in the rate of interest of 2.175%. Also, the Company is required to maintain a minimum of $1,500 of collateral with the bank, subject to adjustment due to changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2003, the collateral totaled $2,080, with $508 reflected in cash equivalents and $1,500 included in “other assets” on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2003, the interest rate swap agreement was reflected at fair value of $754 due to the bank (see note 3 above) on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets, and the carrying value of the related portion of fixed-rate debt being hedged was reduced by $754, representing the adjustment to the fair value of the portion of the debt hedged by the interest rate swap attributable to the interest rate risk. In addition, the change during the period in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement, as well as the change in the adjusted carrying value of the related portion of the fixed-rate debt being hedged, have offsetting effects on net interest expense in the consolidated condensed statements of operations since the interest rate swap is full y effective. Interest expense was reduced by $67 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to reflect the net swap payments to be received from the bank based on the lower variable interest rate.

In 2002, the Company terminated two interest rate swap agreements and received proceeds from the counterparty bank of $3,053. Such amount will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining term of the senior notes (through May 2008).   


5. Business Segment Information
 
The Company’s operating segments represent the business units for which management regularly reviews discrete financial information and evaluates performance based on operating earnings of the respective business unit. The Company has aggregated the business units into reportable business segments based on common economic and market characteristics.

The Company has two reportable business segments: Health Enhancement and Women’s Health. The Health Enhancement segment is comprised of the Company’s disease management programs and the diabetes product design, development and assembly operation. The Health Enhancement segment currently offers disease management services for diabetes, cancer, respiratory disorders, cardiac disease, depression and chronic pain. As part of the diabetes and respiratory disorder compliance management process, the Company sells prescription and non-prescription drugs and supplies used by diabetes and respiratory patients in the management of their conditions. These sales are made primarily on a mail-order basis through the Company’s pharmacy, laboratory and supplies subsidiaries of the Health Enhancement segm ent. The Health Enhancement segment also includes Facet Technologies, LLC, a leading designer, developer, assembler and distributor of products for the diabetes market.

The Women’s Health segment offers obstetrical disease management services to health plans and employers. In addition, this segment offers a broad range of clinical and diagnostic services, including hypertension management, infusion therapy for the management of hyperemesis, anticoagulation disorders and preterm labor, gestational diabetes management, fetal surveillance, home uterine activity monitoring and other clinical services.
 
 
   

 
 
The accounting policies of the reportable business segments are the same as those for the consolidated entity. Operating earnings by reportable business segment exclude interest income and interest expense. An allocation of corporate expenses for shared services has been charged to the segments.

Summarized financial information as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 by reportable business segment follows:

7. Stock-Based Compensation
 
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amended Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock- based employee compensation. This Statement permits two additional transition methods for entities that adopt the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Both of those methods avoid the ramp-up effect arising from prospective application of the fair value based method. In addition, to address concerns raised by some constituents about the lack of comparability caused by multiple transition methods, SFAS 148 does not permit the use of the original SFAS 123 prospective method of transition for changes to the fair value based method made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003.

Pursuant to SFAS 123, the Company elected to account for its employee stock option plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which recognizes expense based on the intrinsic value at the date of grant. As stock options have been issued with exercise prices equal to grant date fair value, no compensation cost has resulted. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and net earnings per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

9. Acquisition
 
On September 30, 2002, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Quality Oncology, Inc. (“QO”), a national provider of cancer disease management services, for consideration valued for financial statement purposes at $19,751. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company initially paid $3,255 in cash and issued approximately 890,000 shares of common stock. An additional 42,000 shares valued at $803 were issued in February 2003 pursuant to a purchase price adjustment. Additional financial consideration will be paid in 2004 based upon 2003 operating results. Management currently estimates that the additional consideration could be between $15,000 and $20,000, although the amount could be more or less depending on 2003 performance. The additional consideration will be payable, at the Company’s option, in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, provided that the lesser of 20% of the payment or $10,000 must be paid in cash. Management currently intends to pay the contingent consideration in cash. Therefore, no adjustment has been made to the number of shares considered in calculating net earnings per diluted common share. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had accrued approximately $2,087 of contingent consideration, reflected in “other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company’s March 31, 2003 consolidated condensed balance sheet reflects the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction, including goodwill of $22,256. Of this amount, $21,510 is deductible for income tax purposes. Results of operations of QO have been included in the consolidated statement of operations of the Company effective October 1, 2002.

The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002, as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2002. The results were prepared based on the historical financial statements of the Company and QO and include pro forma adjustments to reflect the income tax effect of QO’s net loss, the interest cost of the cash portion of the purchase price and other purchase accounting adjustments. Incremental shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the acquisition are reflected in the pro forma net earnings per common share.

10. Long-Term Debt
 
In October 2002, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of the lesser of $35,000 or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The facility is collateralized by cash, accounts receivable, inventories, intellectual property and certain other assets of the Company. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.9% and the facility requires a non-utilization fee of 0.5% of the unused borrowing capacity. Interest and the commitment fee are payable monthly. The facility has an initial two-year term. Thereafter, the term will be automatically extended for annual successive periods unless either party provides notice not less than 60 days prior to the end of the period. As of March 31, 2003, a balance of $7,500 was ou tstanding under this credit facility.

The senior notes indenture and the revolving credit facility agreement set forth a number of covenants binding on the Company. Negative covenants in such instruments limit the ability of the Company to, among other things, incur indebtedness and liens, pay dividends, repurchase shares, enter into merger agreements, make investments, engage in new business activities unrelated to the Company’s current business or sell assets. In addition, under the new credit facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios. As of March 31, 2003, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in its credit instruments. The weighted average interest rates (including amortization of debt discount and expense and gains from terminated interest rate swap transactions) on all outstanding in debtedness for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 11.99% and 11.42%, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General
 
Matria Healthcare, Inc. (“the Company”) is a comprehensive, integrated disease management services company, offering its services to patients, health plans and employers. The Company’s strategy is to provide cost-saving solutions for the five most costly chronic diseases and episodic conditions in the nation: diabetes, obstetrical conditions, cancer, respiratory disorders and cardiovascular disease. In addition, the Company has added programs for depression and chronic pain to its service offerings. The Company’s disease management programs seek to lower healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes through a broad range of disease management, mail-order supply and clinical services. The Company is also a leading designer, developer, assembler and distributor of products for the diabetes market.

The Company has two reportable business segments: Health Enhancement and Women’s Health. The Health Enhancement segment is comprised of the Company’s disease management programs and the diabetes product design, development and assembly operation. The Health Enhancement segment currently offers disease management services for diabetes, cancer, respiratory disorders, cardiac disease, depression and chronic pain. As part of the diabetes and respiratory disorder compliance management process, the Company sells prescription and non-prescription drugs and supplies used by diabetes and respiratory patients in the management of their conditions. These sales are made primarily on a mail-order basis through the Company’s pharmacy, laboratory and supplies subsidiaries of the Health Enhancement segment. T he Health Enhancement segment also includes Facet Technologies, LLC (“Facet”), a leading designer, developer, assembler and distributor of products for the diabetes market.
 
The Women’s Health segment offers obstetrical disease management services to health plans and employers. In addition, this segment offers a broad range of clinical and diagnostic services, including hypertension management, infusion therapy for the management of hyperemesis, anticoagulation disorders and preterm labor, gestational diabetes management, fetal surveillance, home uterine activity monitoring and other clinical services.
 
The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The historical results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved by the Company during future periods.


Results of Operations
 
Revenues increased $13.0 million, or 19.9%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This increase resulted from strong growth in the Health Enhancement segment, where revenues increased $13.8 million, or 34.0%. A portion of this growth resulted from the acquisition of Quality Oncology, Inc. (“QO”), effective October 2002. This segment achieved an increase in revenues of 25.9% exclusive of the incremental revenues of $3.3 million during the first three months of 2003 from QO. Such revenue growth was attained primarily in the disease management component of this segment as a result of an increase in covered lives of existing and new contracts. Revenues in the Women’s Health segment decreased $826,000, or 3.4% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 due primarily to a decline in the patient census for preterm labor management services.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 60.0% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 from 56.2% for the same period in 2002. The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the Health Enhancement segment increased primarily due a change in the mix of Facet revenues. The product development revenues, which have a lower cost of revenues, were lower in the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the Women’s Health segment increased due to an adverse change in the patient drug therapy mix.
 
  17   

 
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 30.4% from 31.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. This decrease is due primarily to $1.3 million of severance payments in the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was partially offset by increases in the disease management component of the Health Enhancement segment, where selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 27.6% in 2003 from 24.7% in 2002. Such increase was caused in part by increases in customer service costs to support higher revenue levels and by the additional expenses of QO, where selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was higher than for other co mponents of this segment. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue remained relatively constant at 30.0% and 30.4% in the Women’s Health segment during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company provides for estimated uncollectible accounts as revenues are recognized. The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of revenues in the Health Enhancement segment was approximately 2% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of revenues in the Women’s Health segment was approximately 5% for the three-month periods of 2003 and 2002. The provision is adjusted periodically based upon the Company’s quarterly evaluation of historical collection experience, recoveries of amounts previously provided, industry reimbursement trends, audit activity and other relevant factors.

Net interest expense increased by $366,000, or 11.3%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 due to a higher average outstanding debt balance and a lower benefit from the new interest rate swap arrangement discussed below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. The weighted average interest rates (including amortization of debt discount and expense and gains from terminated interest rate swap transactions) on all outstanding indebtedness for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 11.99% and 11.42%, respectively.

Income tax expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 reflected a higher effective tax rate than the statutory tax rate due to various non-deductible permanent differences between tax and financial accounting. Cash outflows for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $664,000 and $566,000, respectively, being comprised of foreign and state income taxes.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2003, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $5.7 million. Net cash used in continuing operations was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to net cash provided by continuing operations of $4.2 million for the same period of 2002. This decrease in cash flows from continuing operations resulted from reduced cash flows related to the increase in accounts receivable and the decrease in accounts payable. The Company’s total accounts receivable days’ sales outstanding (“DSO”) were 66 days as of March 31, 2003, consisting of a DSO of 66 days for both the Health Enhancement segment and the Women’s Health segment. In addition, the Company paid $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2003 as a result of the termination and restructuring its retirement plan, which utilized split-dollar life insurance as the funding mechanism, for certain former and current employees. The termination and restructuring relieved the Company of future premium obligations of $3.7 million, $2.2 million of which would have been payable in January 2003.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $5.8 million for the same period of 2002. Capital expenditures in 2003 and 2002 totaled $2.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, related primarily to the replacement and enhancement of computer information systems. The Company expects to expend a total of approximately $10 million for capital items in 2003.

Effective March 5, 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank involving $50 million of the Company’s senior notes. This transaction, which terminates in May 2008 if early termination rights are not exercised, is considered to be a hedge against changes in the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt obligation and is used to lower the Company’s overall borrowing costs. Under the arrangement, the bank will pay the Company an 11% fixed rate of interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1. The Company will pay the bank semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 a variable rate of interest based on the six-month LIBOR rate plus 7.535%. The variable rate for the period from March 5, 2003 to May 1, 2003 was 8 .825%, resulting in a reduction in the rate of interest of 2.175%. Also, the Company is required to maintain a minimum of $1.5 million of collateral with the bank, subject to adjustment due to changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2003, the collateral totaled $2.1 million, with $508,000 reflected in cash equivalents and $1.5 million included in “other assets” on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.    

The Company has available a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of the lesser of $35 million or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The facility is collateralized by cash, accounts receivable, inventories, intellectual property and certain other assets of the Company. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.9% and the facility requires a non-utilization fee of 0.5% of the unused borrowing capacity. Interest and the commitment fee are payable monthly. The facility has an initial two-year term. Thereafter, the term will be automatically extended for annual successive periods unless either party provides notice not less than 60 days prior to the end of the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company borro wed $7.5 million under this credit facility to fund the net cash outflows described above.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, proceeds of $78,000 were received from participants under the Company’s stock purchase plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, proceeds of $1.4 million were received from participants under the Company’s stock purchase and stock option plans.
 
On September 30, 2002, the Company acquired QO for initial consideration of approximately $20 million, consisting of $3 million in cash and approximately 890,000 shares of common stock. The common stock was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2002 at a price of $18.818 per share. The price is the 5-day average of the closing stock prices between June 3 and June 7, 2002, based on a measurement date of June 5, which was the date that the closing stock price fell below the $19.148 minimum price in the purchase and sale agreement and the number of shares became fixed. An additional 42,000 shares valued at $803,000 were issued in February 2003 pursuant to a purchase price adjustment. Additional consideration will be paid in 2004 based upon QO’s 2003 operating results. Management curr ently estimates that the additional consideration could be between $15 million and $20 million, although the amount could be more or less depending on 2003 performance. The additional consideration will be payable, at the Company’s option, in cash, common stock or a combination thereof, provided that the lesser of 20% of the payment or $10 million must be paid in cash. Management currently intends to pay the contingent consideration in cash. Therefore, no adjustment has been made to the number of shares considered in calculating net earnings per diluted common share. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had accrued approximately $2.1 million of contingent consideration, reflected in “other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. As of March 31, 2003, goodwill of approximately $22.3 million has been recorded in connection with this transaction.

The Company believes that its cash, other liquid assets, operating cash flows and revolving credit facility, taken together, will provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and planned capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
A critical accounting estimate meets two criteria: (1) it requires assumptions about highly uncertain matters; and (2) there would be a material effect on the financial statements from either using a different, also reasonable, amount within the range of the estimate in the current period or from reasonably likely period-to-period changes in the estimate. The Company’s critical accounting estimates are as follows:

Revenue Recognition and Allowances for Uncollectible Accounts. Revenues for the Women’s Health segment are generated by providing services through patient service centers. Revenues from this segment are recognized as the related services are rendered and are net of contractual allowances and related discounts. The Health Enhancement segment provides services through its patient service centers, provides supplies to patients primarily on a mail-order basis, and assembles, packages and distributes diabetes products. Revenues for services are recognized when services are provided and revenues from product sales are recognized when products are shipped. Revenues from this segment are recorded net of contractual and other discounts.

The Company’s clinical services and supply business are reimbursed on a fee-for-service per case or per item basis. Other aspects of disease management, however, are paid for primarily on the basis of monthly fees for each employee or member enrolled in a health plan, each member identified with a particular chronic disease or condition under contract, or each member enrolled in the Company’s program or on a case-rate basis. Some of the contracts for these services provide that a portion of the Company’s fees is at risk subject to the Company’s performance against financial cost savings and clinical criteria. Thus, a portion of the Company’s revenues is subject to confirmation of the Company’s performance against these financial cost savings and clinical criteria. Estimates for performance under the terms of these contracts and other factors affecting revenue recognition are accrued in the period the services are provided and adjusted in future periods when final settlement is determined. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as information related to performance levels and associated fees becomes available. As of March 31, 2003, less than 5% of the Company’s revenues are at risk under these arrangements.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues is billed to third-party reimbursement sources. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable is susceptible to changes in third-party reimbursement policies. A provision for doubtful accounts is made for revenues estimated to be uncollectible and is adjusted periodically based upon the Company’s evaluation of current industry conditions, historical collection experience, recoveries of amounts previously provided, industry reimbursement trends, audit activity and other relevant factors which, in the opinion of management, deserve recognition in estimating the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had unamortized goodwill of $131.8 million and unamortized intangible assets of $1.4 million, which represented approximately 44% of total assets. The Company’s goodwill is not amortized to expense, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually. Other intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment.
 
In testing for impairment, the Company will evaluate the financial earnings prospects of the acquired companies to which the goodwill and other intangibles relate and determine whether changed circumstances indicate that any portion of the carrying value of the goodwill or other intangible assets may no longer be recoverable.
 
  20   

 
Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Additionally, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.

The income tax expense of $800,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 reflected a higher effective rate than the statutory tax rate due to various non-deductible permanent differences between tax and financial accounting. Cash outflows for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $664,000, being comprised of foreign income taxes. As of December 31, 2002, the Company’s remaining net operating losses of $58.8 million, the tax effect of which is reflected in the deferred tax asset, will be available to offset future U.S. tax liabilities. Based on projections of taxable income in 2003 and future years, management believes that, more likely than not, the Company will fully realize the value of the recorded deferred income tax assets.

The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Company’s accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 which contain additional accounting policies and other disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s senior management has discussed the development and selection of the accounting estimates, and this disclosure, with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS 143”). An asset retirement obligation refers to any type of closure or removal costs that are incurred at any time during the life of an asset. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capi talized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, the entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. SFAS 143 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS 143 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
  21   

 
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“SFAS 146”). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) (“Issue 94-3”). The principal difference between SFAS 146 and Issue 94-3 relates to SFAS 146’s requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental conclusion reached by the FASB in SFAS 146 is that an entity’s commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. Therefore, SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in Issue 94-3. It also establishes that fair value is the obj ective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amended Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock- based employee compensation. This Statement permits two additional transition methods for entities that adopt the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Both of those methods avoid the ramp-up effect arising from prospective application of the fair value based method. In addition, to address concerns raised by some constituents about the lack of comparability caused by multiple transition methods, SFAS 148 does not permit the use of the original SFAS 123 prospective method of transition for changes to the fair value based method made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. In addition, SFAS 148 amended the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has elected not to adopt the fair value based method of accounting, and therefore provides the pro forma di sclosures required by SFAS 123 and SFAS 148. The Company’s disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain the new disclosures.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 ( “Interpretation 45”) . Interpretation 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor i n its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. Interpretation No. 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of Interpretation 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Implementation of this Interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements or disclosures.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“Interpretation 46”). Interpretation 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, as defined. Interpretation 46 applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. The application of Interpretation 46 had no effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
   22  

 
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 149”). SFAS 149 amended and clarified accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 149 amended SFAS 133 regarding implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, particularly regarding the meaning of an “underlying” and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. The amendments set forth in SFAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. In particular, this Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in SFAS 133. In addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS 149 is effective for cont racts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of SFAS 149, but does not anticipate any significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on long-term debt and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

The Company’s primary interest rate risk relates to its interest rate swap facility, which is based on the six-month LIBOR rate. At March 31, 2003, the Company’s annual benefit under the interest rate swap totaled approximately $1.1 million, based on a variable rate of interest of 8.825% (LIBOR rate of 1.29% plus 7.535%). A hypothetical 10% change in the LIBOR rate for a duration of one year would result in additional interest expense of approximately $65,000.

The Company’s non-U.S. operations with sales denominated in other than U.S. dollars (primarily in Germany) generated approximately 15% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2003. In the normal course of business, these operations are exposed to fluctuations in currency values. Management does not consider the impact of currency fluctuations to represent a significant risk, and has chosen not to hedge its foreign currency exposure. Based on results for the first three months of 2003, a 10% change in the currency exchange rate of the euro would impact annual pre-tax earnings by approximately $450,000.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls
 
Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls.
