REGENERATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regeneration Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alabama Tissue Center, Biological Recovery Group (inactive) and RTI Services, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). The condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of RTI Donor Services, Inc., which is a controlled entity.

 

Restricted Deposits— At June 30, 2004, the Company no longer has any restricted deposits. At December 31, 2003, the Company had $14,757 on deposit with a commercial bank in satisfaction of a collateral requirement contained in a credit agreement, which was fully repaid and terminated on February 20, 2004.

 

Deferred Financing Costs— Deferred financing costs include costs incurred to obtain financing. Upon funding of debt offerings, deferred financing costs are capitalized as debt issuance costs and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the related debt. At June 30, 2004, deferred financing costs approximated $832 net of accumulated amortization of $50, which are included in other assets—net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Reclassifications— Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as previously reported, have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

 

2. Stock Based Compensation

 

Options to purchase approximately 3,352,189 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.30 to $14.95 per share were outstanding as of June 30, 2004.

During the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had inventory write-downs of $0 and $699, respectively, due to estimated obsolescence.

 

6. Investment in Organ Recovery Systems, Inc.

 

On November 2, 2001 the Company purchased 1,285,347 shares of convertible preferred stock issued by Organ Recovery Systems, Inc. (“ORS”), a privately held company, at a price of $3.89 per share. ORS is organized for the purpose of advancing organ transplantation technology. The Company invested in ORS to continue its commitment to the promotion of effective use and distribution of human tissue. The purchase was paid for in cash and recorded at a total cost of $5,250.

 

Realization of the Company’s investment in ORS is dependent upon ORS’s successful execution of its operational strategies and the continued industry acceptance of its current and future product developments. Management monitors progress towards these success factors on a continual basis and has concluded that its investment in ORS has not been negatively impacted by operational matters. Additionally, in late 2003, ORS raised additional equity at a price equal to what the Company paid for its shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, management of the Company believes there has been no impairment of the Company’s investment.

7. Derivatives

 

The following table summarizes the notional transaction amount and fair value for the outstanding derivative at December 31, 2003:

 

     December 31, 2003

    Maturity

    

Notional

Amount


  

Fair

Value


   

Interest rate swap

   $ 15,383    $ (1,552 )   2007

 

On February 20, 2004, the Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement by paying off the fair value of the swap, or $1,613. The net increase in fair value for the derivative liability of the interest rate swap for the period from December 31, 2003 to the termination date was $61.

 

8. Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be realized.

 

At June 30, 2004, net deferred tax assets were approximately $6,351. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company expects the deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance at June 30, 2004 of $500, to be realized through the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences.

On February 20, 2004, the Company entered into a new long-term financing agreement with a major financial institution. The new agreement consists of a $9,000 five-year term loan and a five-year $16,000 revolving line of credit. The $9,000 term loan calls for monthly principal payments of $125. Interest on the new loan agreement is paid monthly at LIBOR plus 4.25% (5.61% at June 30, 2004). Under the $16,000 revolving line of credit, the Company can borrow up to the maximum eligible amount, based on certain outstanding receivables and inventories, of which $9,167 is available at June 30, 2004. Interest on outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit is payable at LIBOR plus 3.75%. Principal and interest on the revolving line of credit are payable upon maturity,

unless otherwise called for in the agreement. There is a .5% fee payable on any unused portion of the revolving credit facility. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving line of credit at June 30, 2004. The term loan and revolving line of credit are fully collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including accounts receivable, inventories and certain property and equipment.

 

The credit agreement also contains various restrictive covenants which limit, among other things, indebtedness, liens and business combination transactions. In addition, the Company must maintain certain financial covenant ratios, including operating cash flows to fixed charges, senior debt to EBITDA, and total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the agreement. The Company is in compliance with the financial covenant ratios at June 30, 2004.

 

13. Commitment

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company paid $10,202 to Medtronic Sofamor Danek (MSD) for management service fee obligations which were recognized under the terms of the prior distribution agreement.

 

The Company is in settlement discussions with MSD regarding their performance under the prior agreement based on the contractual terms including, among other things, responsibilities of the parties relative to losses on consignment inventories and uncollected accounts receivable. The current distribution agreement calls for the Company and MSD to enter into arbitration to settle disputes if a settlement cannot otherwise be reached. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful in pursuit of their claims; however, they believe that these matters will be resolved without going to arbitration. The Company further believes that the ultimate settlement of all outstanding claims will not exceed liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

14. Legal Actions

 

The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that none of the claims that were outstanding as of June 30, 2004 will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Other factors could also cause actual results to vary materially from the future results indicated in such forward-looking statements.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2003

 

Net Revenues. Our net revenues were $23.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2004 and the three months ended June 30, 2003. Net revenues from spinal allografts decreased $666,000 which was offset by a $354,000 increase in our sports medicine allografts and a $287,000 increase in net revenues from our cardiovascular distributions. Net revenues from spinal allografts decreased 4.3% while unit volume increased 4.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in unit volume compared to the decrease in revenues reflects a greater proportion of our spinal unit volume coming from our cervical line during the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, approximately half of our spinal unit volume was from our cervical line of products, which made up only one third of our spinal unit volume during the same period in 2003. Cervical products are lower revenue grafts than lumbar spine products on a per unit basis.

 

Costs of Processing and Distribution. Costs of processing and distribution increased by $761,000, or 6.0%, to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Our costs of processing and distribution were primarily impacted by the increase in the mix of new cervical units produced, which on a per unit basis are more costly to produce than our lumbar spinal products. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the cost per unit was impacted by the start up costs associated with producing new cervical products, which are being distributed by MSD. As a percentage of net revenues, costs of processing and distribution increased from 54.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 58.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

 

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased by $225,000, or 3.6%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. These expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 26.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease primarily was due to a $243,000 decrease in consulting expense related to the cost of marketing our patented BioCleanse tissue sterilization process in 2003.

 

10


Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $539,000, or 86.9%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $620,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses increased from 2.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 5.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as we increased our spending on payroll and studies associated with new product development initiatives.

 

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $162,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $516,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of lower outstanding debt and no longer having the interest expense associated with our previously outstanding interest rate swap agreement in the three months ended June 30, 2004. The swap agreement was terminated on February 20, 2004.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $810,000 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 35%, which was lower than the 38% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2003, due to a tax credit we recognized for qualified research and development expenses incurred.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

 

Net Revenues. Our net revenues increased by $3.8 million, or 8.9%, to $46.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $42.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Spinal allografts increased $3.1 million, sports medicine allografts increased $642,000, and cardiovascular distributions increased $613,000, offset partially by a $681,000 decrease in our general orthopedic allografts. Spinal revenues increased as a result of a 17.4% increase in units distributed to our distributor, Medtronic Sofamor Danek, which is attributable to increased demand for these allografts along with new product introductions. In addition, sports medicine revenues increased 14.6% as a result of a volume increase and a price increase associated with the introduction of soft tissue BioCleanse. Cardiovascular revenues increased 24.4% as a result of volume increases, change in product mix, and a price increase instituted at the beginning of 2004. General orthopedic revenues decreased 9.6% as a result of our allocation of tissue to support the increasing demand for our spinal allograft products.

 

Costs of Processing and Distribution. Costs of processing and distribution increased by $4.8 million, or 20.2%, to $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our costs of processing and distribution were primarily impacted by an increase in the proportion of new cervical units produced as compared to our lumbar spinal line and processing inefficiencies resulting from reduced production levels as we addressed the inventory buildup that occurred during the second half of 2003. Our cervical product line is more costly to produce than our lumbar spinal product line, on a per unit basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the cost per unit was impacted by the start up costs associated with producing new cervical products, which are being distributed by MSD. As a percentage of net revenues, costs of processing and distribution increased from 54.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 60.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased by $600,000, or 4.9%, to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. These expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 24.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease primarily was due to a $222,000 decrease in commission expense, a reversal of $200,000 in our allowance for bad debts, and a $243,000 decrease in consulting expense related to the costs of marketing our patented BioCleanse tissue sterilization process in 2003.

 

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 97.5%, to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses increased from 2.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as we increased our spending on payroll and studies associated with new product development initiatives.

 

11


Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $412,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $747,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of our lower outstanding debt balance and no longer having interest expense associated with an outstanding interest rate swap agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. The swap agreement was terminated on February 20, 2004.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 34%, which was lower than our 39% effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to a tax credit we recognized for qualified research and development expenses incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows.

 

Our net cash used in operating activities was $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $2.1 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, cash was provided by net income of $2.9 million and a decrease in inventories of $383,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, primary uses of cash were a reduction in accounts payable of $11.4 million, which included a $10.2 million payment to Medtronic Sofamor Danek for management service fee obligations which were recognized under the terms of the prior distribution agreement, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.6 million due to higher revenues and a decrease in accrued expenses of $419,000. Significant non-cash adjustments to operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 included depreciation and amortization expense of $2.2 million and a deferred income tax provision of $1.4 million. Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 29 for both the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003. Our inventory days outstanding were 259 annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 289 for year ended December 31, 2003. The reduced inventory days were the result of maintaining inventories at similar levels to the end of 2003 while increasing annualized revenues.

 

Our cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our investing activities consisted of purchases of property, plant, and equipment.

 

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of a $14.8 million decrease in restricted deposits and proceeds of $9.0 million from issuance of our new term loan. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of the repayment of our previous term loan of $12.1 million, a $1.6 million payment made to terminate a swap agreement, an $832,000 payment associated with deferred borrowing costs, and payments on capital lease and note obligations of $1.1 million.

 

Liquidity.

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had $10.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our working capital as of June 30, 2004, together with our borrowing ability under the $16.0 million revolving line of credit, will be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

 

Certain Commitments.

 

We are in discussions with MSD regarding their performance under the prior agreement based on the contractual terms including, among other things, responsibilities of the parties relative to losses on consignment inventories and uncollected accounts receivable. The current distribution agreement calls for us and MSD to enter into arbitration to settle disputes if we cannot otherwise reach a settlement. We cannot predict whether we will be successful in pursuit of our claims; however, we believe that these matters will be resolved without going to arbitration. We further believe that the ultimate settlement of all outstanding claims will not exceed liabilities provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On February 20, 2004, we entered into a new long-term financing agreement with a major financial institution. The new agreement consists of a $9.0 million five-year term loan and a five-year $16.0 million revolving line of credit. The $9.0 million term loan calls for monthly principal payments of $125,000. Interest on the new loan agreement is paid monthly at LIBOR plus 4.25% (5.61% at June 30, 2004). Under the $16.0 million revolving line of credit, we can borrow up to the maximum eligible amount, based on certain outstanding receivables and inventories, of which $9,167 is available at June 30, 2004. Interest on outstanding amounts under the revolving credit loan is payable at LIBOR plus 3.75%. Principal and interest on the revolving credit loan are payable upon maturity, unless otherwise called for in the agreement. There is a .5% fee payable on any unused portion of the

revolving credit facility. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving line of credit June 30, 2004. The term loan and revolving line of credit are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventories and certain property and equipment.

 

The credit agreement also contains various restrictive covenants, which limit, among other things, indebtedness, liens and business combination transactions. In addition, we must maintain certain financial covenant ratios, including operating cash flows to fixed charges, senior debt to EBITDA, and total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the agreement. We were in compliance with the financial covenants at June 30, 2004.

 

14


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based upon our financing, investing and cash management activities. We use a mix of debt maturities along with variable-rate debt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. We do not expect changes in interest rates to have a material adverse effect on our income or our cash flows in 2004. However, we cannot assure that interest rates will not significantly change in 2004. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

15


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the SEC rules thereunder. There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
