LXU HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Formerly Primesource Healthcare, Inc.)
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED condensed CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
On October 20, 2004, the Board of Directors recommended that the Company’s Articles of Organization be amended and restated to change our name from PrimeSource Healthcare, Inc. to LXU Healthcare, Inc. The Board recommended the adoption of the Amendment of the Articles after a claim was asserted against the Company by PrimeSource Healthcare Systems, Inc. an Illinois corporation, for, among other things, trademark infringement and unfair competition. The Company was not served with the complaint and as a result of settlement discussions, the parties agreed that the dispute could be resolved by changing the Company’s name. On December 10, 2004 at the annual stockholders meeting the stockholders approved the proposed name change.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LXU Healthcare, Inc. (“LXU Healthcare”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “LXU” or the “Company”). The Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiaries include LXU Healthcare, Inc - Medical Specialty Products, formerly PrimeSource Surgical, Inc., (“LXU-Medical Specialty Products”) and Bimeco, Inc. (“Bimeco”). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereafter referred to as “generally accepted accounting principles”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be ex pected for the entire year.
 
LXU Healthcare, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation formerly known as Primesource Healthcare, Inc., is a specialty medical products sales, marketing and manufacturing company. The Company sells a broad portfolio of specialty medical products, some of which it manufactures, to hospitals and surgery centers nationwide through a dedicated organization of sales and marketing professionals.
 
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R) ("SFAS No. 123(R)"), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123 (R), only certain pro form a disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective for public entities that do not file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has not determined what the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) will be on the financial statements of the Company.

5.      LINES OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE


The Company’s senior debt financing is provided under a $7,500,000 revolving demand note (the “PrimeSource Healthcare Line of Credit”) from Wells Fargo Business  Credit, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”) under the PrimeSource Healthcare Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2003, by and among the Company, LXU - Medical  Specialty Products, Bimeco and Wells Fargo (the “Credit and Security Agreement”).  The Credit and Security Agreement  has no stated maturity date, but remains in effect until the borrower terminates the credit facility or the lender demands payment. Although there is no stated maturity, if  the Line of  Credit is terminated  before certain dates, termination fees  will be due Wells Fargo, as follows:  on  or  before December 10, 2005  2%  of  the maximum line, or  $150,000;  on or before December 10,  2006  1%  of  the  maximum line, or  $75,000.  Pursuant to  the  Credit and Security Agreement, the maximum amount  available to borrow  under  the PrimeSource Healthcare Line  of  Credit  is limited  to the lesser of  $7,500,000  or a certain percentage of accounts  receivable  and  inventory,  as  defined  by  the Credit and  Security  Agreement  ($7,500,000 at December 31, 2004).   As of December 31, 2004, borrowings bore interest at Wells Fargo’s prime rate plus  3.00%  (8.25% at December 31, 2004).  Borrowings are secured by  substantially all assets held by LXU Healthcare and its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, there were outstanding borrowings of $5,561,334 and $5,204,139, respec tively. At December 31, 2004, there was $1,938,666 of availability under the PrimeSource Healthcare Line of Credit.

The Credit and Security Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants that require the maintenance of defined income levels and maximum capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2004.

Notes payable include the Luxtec tenant note payable for tenant improvements to the lessor of Luxtec’s leased premises in West Boylston, Massachusetts. The note bears interest at 9.5% and is due September 19, 2005. Payments were interest only for the first 12 months, with remaining payments calculated on a 7-year amortization table with a balloon payment due on September 19, 2005. At December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, Luxtec had outstanding borrowings of $54,287 and $62,446, respectively, under the tenant note payable. In addition, notes payable include a long-term note with an outstanding balance of $43,250 at both December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.
 
6. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
 
In October 2001, LXU Healthcare engaged a restructuring agent to evaluate the Company’s operations for possible reorganization. In November 2001, the Company commenced with a restructuring plan involving narrowing the focus of the Company’s operations, the consolidation of certain underperforming sales regions, the reduction of corporate overhead through workforce reductions, the restructuring of the Company’s balance sheet through the refinancing of the Company’s senior bank debt and the reduction of debt levels through improved earnings.
 
As a result of the restructuring plan, during fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded restructuring costs of approximately $4.0 million consisting of $800,000 in specialized restructuring consultants’ fees, $500,000 related to a remaining lease liability for a closed facility, $300,000 in costs for exited product lines related to the closure of the western sales region, $1.4 million in employee severance and $1.0 million attributable to the loss on disposal of a division. Approximately 29 administrative employees were released along with resignation of several members of the Company’s senior management team, including the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer and its fo rmer Chairman and Executive Vice President. Accrued restructuring costs remaining at June 30, 2004 totaling $43,726 relating to certain contracts were paid during the six months ended December 31, 2004.

7. INCOME TAXES
 
At December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, the Company had deferred tax assets primarily resulting from federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,589,600 and $5,254,600, respectively. A full valuation allowance has been provided against these deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004 as it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated to realize these carryforwards. In addition, the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations relating to ownership changes.
 
The Company generated pre-tax income of $974,648 and $1,671,789 for the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2004. However, this amount is expected to be offset by federal net operating losses in the Company’s income tax return for the year ending June 30, 2005. The Company recognized income tax expense totaling $10,300 and $15,300 for the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2004 relating to state income taxes in states with no offsetting net operating loss carryforwards.
 
The Company generated pre-tax net income of $480,612 and $826,007 for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003. This amount was offset by net operating losses in the Company’s income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2004. The Company recognized income tax expense totaling $51,000 and $51,000, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 relating to income taxes due in states with no offsetting net operating loss carryforwards.
 
8. SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company is organized into three operating segments based on management’s operating criteria. These segments are Specialty Medical Products Manufacturing, Specialty Distribution Services—Surgical, and Specialty Distribution Services—Critical Care. A description of each segment and principal products and operations is as follows:
 
Specialty Medical Products Manufacturing—This segment includes the Massachusetts division acquired in March 2001, referred to as Luxtec (“Luxtec”), which designs and manufactures fiber optic headlight and video camera systems, light sources, cables, retractors, and custom-made and other surgical equipment for the medical and dental industries.
 
Specialty Distribution Services—Surgical—The surgical segment is a regional sales and marketing organization that markets and sells surgical products primarily to hospitals and surgery centers. The primary specialty areas include gynecology, cardiovascular, endoscopy, and general surgery. These products are primarily used in hospital operating rooms and in outpatient surgery centers. This segment does business as LXU- Medical Specialty Products.
 

 
  11  

 

Specialty Distribution Services—Critical Care—The critical care segment is a regional sales and marketing organization that sells products primarily to hospitals and surgery centers in the southeastern and northeastern United States. Within this segment, the primary specialties include maternal, childcare, and neonatal intensive care. This segment does business as Bimeco.
 
Operations that are not included in any of the segments are included in the category “Corporate/Other” and consist primarily of corporate staff operations, including unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses. The sales between segments are made at market prices and are eliminated in consolidation.
 
The total assets of each segment consist primarily of net property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, and other assets directly associated with the segments’ operations. Included in the total assets of the corporate operations are property and equipment, intangibles and other assets.
 
Sales between the manufacturing and surgical segments totaled $1,863,799 and $3,412,716 for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, and $1,525,080 and $2,974,649 for the same periods in 2003.
 
The Company charges a management fee allocation to each segment based on estimates of each segment’s corporate resource usage and reclassifies a portion of the corporate expense to the operating segments.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, options and warrants to purchase common stock totaling 26,527,828 were not included in weighted average common shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share since the result would be antidilutive because the exercise price exceeded the price of the Company’s common stock. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2003, options and warrants to purchase common stock totaling 26,683,295 were not included in weighted average common shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share since the result would be antidilutive because the exercise price exceeded the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock. The effect of conversion of preferred shares was also excluded as the effect would be antidilutive.

10. PREFERRED STOCK
 

On August 6, 2002, the Company created a new series of preferred stock, Series G Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, no par value (the “Series G Stock”). The Series G Stock has 230,000 authorized shares. At both December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, 222,501 shares of Series G Stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of Series G Stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, at the option of the holder. Each share of Series G Stock has one vote for each share of common stock into which it would be convertible. In addition, Series G Stock ranks senior to all other outstanding stock of the Company. Series G Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 8% per year of the original issuance price of $32.00 per share, compounded annually, and has a liquidation value equal to $64.0 0 per share plus an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series G Stock is redeemable at the election of not less than 60% of the Series G stockholders any time after June 30, 2005, and is redeemable at $64.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series G Stock also has special consent rights to certain of the Company’s activities, including, but not limited to, amendment of the Company’s articles or bylaws and merger or consolidation of the Company. As of December 31, 2004, cumulative unpaid dividends on the Series G Stock totaled $1,413,737, and were included in the carrying amount of Series G Stock in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
The Company’s Series G Stock was initially issued August 6, 2002, in connection with a recapitalization of the Company’s equity structure (the “Recapitalization”). Certain other classes of outstanding preferred stock, including Series C Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock and Series F Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock, were converted to common stock. Another class of outstanding preferred stock, Series F Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock, was exchanged for Series G Stock, and additional shares of Series G Stock were issued for cash consideration. Warrants to purchase common stock were issued to the Series C, F, E and G Stockholders, and previously issued warrants to purchase common stock held by these stockholders were repriced.

The Series G Stock was originally recorded at the original issue price of $32.00 per share. The Series G Stock is being increased to its redemption value of $64.00 per share in periodic accretions from the date of original issuance through the first redemption date of June 30, 2005. At December 31, 2004, cumulative accretion totaled $5,840,012.

During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company granted options to purchase 7,500 shares of Series G Stock for $16 per share to an executive of the Company. Options vested one year from August 6, 2002, the date of grant, and have a 10 year life. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded compensation expense related to these options of $10,000.

On October 15, 2003, an option for the purchase of one share of Series G Stock was exercised for $16. At December 31, 2004, the remaining 7,499 options were vested and exercisable.
 
11. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
 
Options - At December 31, 2004, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 9 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) for the year ended June 30, 2004. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost based on the fair value of employee stock option and warrant grants. The Company has chosen to continue to account for employee option and warrant grants using intrinsic value under APB Opinion No. 25. However, compensation expense in the amount of $10,000 for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003, has been recognized for certain employee stock options granted below market value. No compensation expense has been recognized for the remaining employee stock option and warra nt grants.
 

 
 

  15  

 

Had compensation expense for these employee stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders and per share amounts for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company agreed in principle to resolve a legal matter with a former employee.  As a result, the Company
has accrued certain amounts in other expense relating to the matter.
 
The Company is also involved in litigation incidental to its business. Management does not believe the ultimate disposition of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.  

13.    RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The Company has filed amendments to its 2004 Form 10-K and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 to restate the consolidated financial statements in these reports for the items discussed below.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company determined that the Company’s Series G Stock should not have been classified as a liability under SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS No. 150”). In addition, the Company determined that the accounting treatment originall y afforded to certain aspects of the recapitalization of the Company’s equity at the time of the original issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock in August 2002 (the “Recapitalization”), including the issuance of warrants to purchase common stock, the repricing of previously issued warrants to purchase common stock and related accretion of these amounts was incorrect, as discussed below. The Company also determined that certain amounts included in net sales for the years ended June 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004 should have been recorded as commissions and service revenues in the statements of operations.


 
   16  

 

Effective July 1, 2003 the Company implemented SFAS No. 150, and at that time it changed the classification of its Series G Preferred Stock to a liability. However the Company subsequently determined that the Series G Preferred Stock did not meet the criteria of a mandatorily redeemable preferred stock that should be classified as a liability because redemption is at the option of the holders and requires the approval of not less than 60% of the Series G Stockholders at any time after June 30, 2005. Accordingly, the Company determined that it should have continued to classify the Series G Stock as mezzanine equity in the Company’s balance sheet, and should not have included the dividends that accrue on the Company’s Series G Stock in interest expense in the statements of income, but should have reflec ted them in dividends and accretion on preferred stock for all reporting periods after July 1, 2003.
 
The Company also determined that the historical accounting treatment afforded to the Series G Stock warrants that were issued and repriced in connection with the Recapitalization, the conversion and redemption features of the Series G Stock, and the fair values assigned to the Company’s Series G Stock and common stock at the date of the Recapitalization was incorrect.
 
 
The Company originally accounted for the warrants issued and repriced in the Recapitalization using an estimate of the fair value of its common stock of $.32 per share. In connection with its reconsideration of the accounting for the Series G Stock, the Company also determined that the estimated fair value of its common stock that was used in determining the fair value of the warrants issued and repriced in connection with the Recapitalization should have been less than $.01 per share.
 
 
The Company originally recorded a beneficial conversion feature relating to the Series G Stock based on its intrinsic value in accordance with EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (“EITF No. 00-27”), and did not separately account for the conversion feature as an embedded derivative for the conversion and redemption features in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). The Company has now determined that the conversion feature represents an embedded derivative that should have been separated from the preferred stock based on its relative fair value and that it should not have recognized a beneficial conversion feature under EITF No. 00-27. The Company has valued the embedded derivative using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: weighted average risk-free discount rate 1.68%; 0% expected dividend; 50% volatility; and an expected life of 3 years, and determined that it had no value at the date of issuance, because the fair value of the common stock was less than $.01 per share. Accordingly, the value originally assigned to the beneficial conversion feature has been adjusted to zero from date of issuance. Future changes in the fair value of the derivative will result in a charge or credit to income during the period of change.
 
 

 
   17  

 

The Company originally accounted for the Recapitalization in accordance with EITF No. 00-27, and the excess of consideration given up by the preferred stockholders over what they received was recorded as a credit to accumulated deficit, resulting in an increase in income available to (decrease in loss attributable to) common stockholders for purposes of calculating income (loss) per share. The Company has now determined that certain conversions of the preferred stock in the Recapitalization were induced conversions that should have been accounted for in accordance with EITF No. D-42, The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock, which results in the excess of the consideration transferred by the preferred stockholders over what they received being credited to additional paid-in capital instead of accumulated deficit.
 
Finally, the carrying value of the Series G Stock was originally recorded at the original issue price of $32 per share, net of issuance costs, the fair value of the warrants and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature discussed above. The Series G Stock was being accreted up to the $32 per share original issue price through the earliest redemption date of June 30, 2005, consistent with guidance in EITF D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities; however, the Company has now determined that, based on the redemption value of the Series G Stock of $64 per share, the Company should have recor ded additional accretion of $32 per share.
 
As a result, the Company’s financial statements have been restated from the amounts previously reported to correct the accounting for these transactions. A summary of the significant effects of the restatement is as follows:

We wish to caution readers not to place undue relia nce on any forward-looking statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date that we have filed the report. We expressly disclaim any obliga-tion or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this report, including to reflect any change in our expectations with regard to that forward-looking statement or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which that forward-looking statement is based.
 
As discussed in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s December 31, 2004 financial statements have been restated. The accompanying management’s discussion and analysis gives effect to that restatement.
 
Business Overview
 
General
 

We are a specialty medical products sales, marketing and manufacturing company. We sell a broad portfolio of high quality, differentiated specialty medical products, some of which we manufacture, to hospitals and surgery centers nationwide through a dedicated organization of sales and marketing professionals. We believe that we are continuing to build a valuable niche franchise in the estimated $5 billion specialty medical marketplace, selling technologically innovative products that command premium pricing. Today, we have three primary businesses, which are separately managed and present separate financial results: Specialty Medical Distribution- Surgical, Specialty Medical Distribution- Critical Care and Manufactured Products. As of December 31, 2004, we had 136 employees and generated total revenue of $13.8 million and $26.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively.
 
Business Strategy
 
Our goal is to be one of the nation’s leading suppliers of specialty medical products to hospitals and surgery centers. We intend to continue to grow by:
 

 
  19  

 

·   hiring experienced territory sales representatives;
 
·   securing additional specialty product lines to our product offerings; and
 
·   selectively acquiring specialty medical products manufacturers. We expect to benefit from the acquisition of select specialty medical products manufacturers by increasing sales of acquired product lines through use of our direct specialty medical products sales force.
 
We believe our Manufactured Products business continues to lead the surgical headlamp business and focuses its research and development efforts on new and innovative products which can be sold through our distribution segment.

Products and Services

Specialty Medical Distribution

Within Specialty Medical Distribution, we have a Surgical business and a Critical Care business. The Surgical business is a regional sales and marketing organization that markets and sells a large number of surgical products primarily to hospitals and surgery centers in the midwestern, mid-atlantic and southeastern United States. The Critical Care business is a regional sales and marketing organization that sells a large number of products primarily to hospitals and surgery centers in the southeastern and northeastern United States.

Within the Surgical business, the primary specialties are Cardio Vascular, Endoscopy, General Surgery and Gynecology.

Within the Critical Care business, the primary specialties are Neonatal Intensive Care and Maternal and Child Care.

The sale of specialty disposable products and capital equipment account for the majority of our revenues. Our capital equipment products are typically complex and require significant consultative selling to medical staff personnel, which is provided as part of our marketing and customer service efforts. Our specialty disposable products are often sold to support the capital equipment products and offer a recurring and stable source of revenue.

The Manufactured Products Division

We operate the Manufactured Products business through our Luxtec division (“Luxtec”), which designs, manufactures and markets fiber optic headlight and video camera systems, light sources, cables, retractors and surgical and other custom-made equipment for the medical and dental industries. Luxtec has developed a proprietary, fiber optic drawing system designed to manufacture optical glass to a specified diameter. The fibers are utilized in fiber optic cables, which are incorporated with Luxtec's surgical headlight systems and video camera systems, as well as into an array of fiber optic transilluminators utilized with Luxtec’s surgical instruments. Luxtec also markets replacement fiber optic cables, bulbs, and light sources for use with other manufacturers' products, including various endoscopic systems used in minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Fiber optics allow for the transmission of a light or image from one place to another through a flexible conduit of optical glass rods and tubes. The flexible conduit provides for an improved ability to bend and transmit light and images to and from places with limited or difficult access.


 
  20  

 

The technology used by Luxtec to provide illumination directly to the surgical site is facilitated by fiber optic cables transmitting light to an adjustable headlight composed of a series of lenses and mirrors mounted on a headband. These lenses then focus the light directly on the surgical site when worn by the surgeon. This provides a lightweight, low temperature illumination source to enhance visualization for microsurgical and deep cavity illumination.

Results of Operations
 
Net Revenues—Net revenues increased $1,218,715, or 9.7%, and $1,625,309, or 6.6%, in the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, relative to the comparable periods in 2003 primarily due to higher product sales volume from existing product lines and the addition of a new selling territory for our proprietary products provided by the Luxtec division. Sales of the Luxtec product increased approximately $512,000 and $759,000 in the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2003. Revenues from our agency business for the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2004 decreased approximately $253,000 and $378,000, respectively, over the same periods in 2003.
 
Cost of Products Sold—Cost of products sold increased to 66.6% and 66.9% of net product sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 67.2% and 67.4% of net product sales, for the same periods in 2003, respectively. The increase of $918,839, or 11.7%, and $1,256,411, or 8.1%, in the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, respectively, relative to the comparable periods in 2003 was primarily the result of the corresponding increase in net product sales, as discussed above. The decrease in cost of products sold as a percentage of net product sales in the thre e and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003 is due primarily to the difference in product mix between Luxtec and Specialty Medical Distribution products.
 
Gross Profit—Gross profit was 37.9% and 38.1% of net product sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, and 40.1% and 39.9% of net product sales for the same periods in 2003, respectively. The increase of $299,876, or 6.0%, and $368,898, or 4.0%, in the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, respectively, relative to the comparable periods in 2003 is primarily due to higher sales volume from existing product lines and the addition of a new selling territory for our proprietary products provided by the Luxtec division. Gross profit on the Luxtec product increased app roximately $153,000 and $334,000 in the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease in gross profit margins, as a percentage of net revenues in the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003, is primarily due to a difference in product mix sold as discussed above.
 
Selling ExpensesSelling expenses decreased $95,351 and $119,303 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2003. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee benefit cost and travel and entertainment expenses offset by increased selling commissions. Selling commissions are paid on agency sales at approximately the same percentage as stocking sales, and as a result, sales commissions as a percent of net revenues do not generally fluctuate when the product mix of agency and stocking sales varies.
 

 
  21  

 

General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses were 13.2% and 12.6% of net revenues, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 13.3% and 13.8% for the same periods in 2003. The increase of $146,965, or 8.8%, for the three-month period is primarily the result of increased legal fees in the quarter ended December 31, 2004. The decrease of $82,943, or 2.4%, for the six-month period is a result of lower salary costs due to the consolidation of positions as certain employees left the Company.
 
Depreciation and Amortization ExpensesDepreciation and amortization expenses decreased to 0.6% of net revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to 1.4% and 1.3% of net revenues, for the same periods in 2003, respectively. The decrease of $92,174, or 53.3%, and 169,084, or 51.2%, in depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, is primarily the result of certain assets and intangible assets becoming fully depreciated prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2004.
 
Interest Expense—The decrease in interest expense of $171,666, or 59.5%, and $200,785, or 45.1%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, is the result of non-recurring fees on the Company’s senior debt in the quarter ended December 31, 2003. Interest expense on the Company’s senior debt decreased by $139,490 during the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 over the same period in 2003.
 
Income Tax Provision—The Company recorded $10,300 and $15,300 of income tax expense for the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to $51,000 of income tax expense for the same periods in 2003. Although the majority of the Company’s current year taxable income for federal and certain states can be eliminated due to the use of net operating loss carryforwards to offset federal and state income tax liabilities, the Company is still be subject to income taxes in certain state jurisdictions which have limitations on the use of its net operating loss carryforwards.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 

Year to date sales performance through December 2004 continues to allow us to maintain our cash and retain our credit availability at its higher benchmark since the Company refinanced it senior debt in December 2003. Our cash and availability remains relatively stable, due to working capital management. We expect our cash position to remain stable as we experience sales growth over prior quarters, and effect reductions in non-operating cash outflows and operating expenses.  

For the six months ended December 31, 2004 our cash used in operating activities was $328,203, driven by investment in inventory to support sales volumes and accounts receivable increases related to expanded territories for Luxtec’s product lines and certain new product lines.
 
At December 31, 2004, we had working capital of $3,391,451 compared to $1,688,823 at June 30, 2004. The increase in our working capital was primarily the result of increases in accounts receivable and inventory balances related to increased sales, offset by the increase in the line of credit and accounts payable.
 
In December 2003, we consolidated our previously outstanding senior debt facilities. Our senior debt financing is now provided under a $7,500,000 revolving demand note (the “PrimeSource Healthcare Line of Credit”) from Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”) under the PrimeSource Healthcare Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2003, by and among the Company, LXU Healthcare- Medical Specialty Products, Bimeco and Wells Fargo (the “Credit and Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, the maximum amount available to borrow under the PrimeSource Healthcare Line of Credit is limited to the lesser of $7,500,000 or a certain percentage of accounts receivable and inventory, as defined by the Credit and Security Agreement ($7,500,000 at December 31, 2004). As of December 31, 2004, borrowings bore interest at Wells Fargo’s prime rate plus 3.00% (8.25% at December 31, 2004). Borrowings are secured by substantially all assets held by LXU Healthcare and its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, there were outstanding borrowings of $5,561,334 and $5,204,139, respectively. At December 31, 2004, there was $1,938,666 of availability under the PrimeSource Healthcare Line of Credit.
 

 
  22  

 

The Credit and Security Agreement contains certain covenants, including covenants that require the maintenance of defined income levels and maximum capital expenditures. We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2004.
 
Notes payable include the Luxtec tenant note payable for tenant improvements to the lessor of Luxtec’s leased premises in West Boylston, Massachusetts. The note bears interest at 9.5% and is due September 19, 2005. Payments were interest only for the first 12 months, with remaining payments calculated on a 7-year amortization table with a balloon payment due on September 19, 2005. At December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, Luxtec had outstanding borrowings of $54,287 and $62,446, respectively, under the tenant note payable. In addition, notes payable include a long-term note with an outstanding balance of $43,250 at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.
 
As of December 31, 2004, we had $33,008 of cash. In addition, the principal source of our short-term borrowing is the PrimeSource Healthcare Line of Credit. As discussed above, at December 31, 2004, we had $1,938,666 of available credit under the PrimeSource Healthcare Line of Credit.
 
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. During preparation of these financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of a ssets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Inventory Reserves for Obsolescence
 
We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions prove to be less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. 
 

 
 

  23  

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment at least annually, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). For goodwill, we first compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit, additional tests would be used to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. We use a present value technique to measure reporting unit fair value. If the carrying amount of any other intangible asset exc eeds its fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between fair value and the carrying amount. If events occur and circumstances change, causing the fair value of a reporting unit to fall below its carrying amount, impairment losses may be recognized in the future. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company performed its annual impairment test in July 2004 and found no impairment in its existing goodwill balances.
 
Deferred Tax Assets
 
We estimate our actual current tax exposure obligations together with the temporary differences that have resulted from the differing treatment of items dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America versus U.S. tax laws. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. If we believe the recovery to be less than likely, we establish a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset and charge the amount as an income tax expense in the period in which such a determination is made. 
 
Sales Recognition Policy
 
The Company’s policy is to recognize revenues from product sales when earned, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Specifically, product and commissions revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Product sales are recognized as revenue when the title transfers, generally when shipped.

Revenues earned under agency agreements are recognized when the customer has received the product, and amounts are recorded as commissions in net revenues, at the net amount retained by the Company.


Provisions for vendor discounts and product returns are provided for at the time the related sales are recorded, and are reflected as a reduction of product sales. The Company estimates customer discounts and product returns at the time of sale based on historical experience. These estimates are reviewed periodically and, if necessary, revised, with any revisions recognized immediately as adjustments to product sales.
 
The Company periodically and systematically evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. In determining the amount of the allowance, management considers historical credit losses, the past due status of receivables, payment history and other customer-specific information, and any other relevant factors or considerations.

LXU HEALTHCARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company’s market risk exposure relates to outstanding debt. The outstanding balance of the Company’s credit facilities at December 31, 2004 is $5,561,334 all of which is subject to interest rate fluctuations. As a result, we have exposure relating to the fair value of our outstanding debt, which is a function of market interest rate changes and investor perception of the quality of the Company’s debt.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 
This section has been updated to give effect to the restatement as discussed in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
As of December 31, 2004, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The errors identified and discussed in Note 13  of the consolidated condensed financial statements were principally the result of the misapplication of the accounting guidance of  SFAS No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity to the Company's Series G Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series G Stock"), and also the misapplication of EITF 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments and EITF D-42, The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings Per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock to the original accounting for the same Series G Stock as of Augu st 6, 2002. The errors were identified during January 2005. In light of the facts and circumstances relating to the restatement, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the restatement is a material weakness (as defined under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the Company’s internal controls. The material weakness was caused by an inadequate control over the review process of the implementation of new accounting guidance, and the application of accounting guidance to new transactions. The Company is evaluating steps to enhance the operation and effectiveness of our internal controls over new accounting guidance and new transactions.

Attached as exhibits to this quarterly report are certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This portion of the Company’s quarterly report includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
