EXACTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003
(Unaudited)
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which are for interim periods, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to interim financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all disclosures provided in the annual financial statements. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 of Exactech, Inc. (the Company or Exactech), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods have been made. Results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. | OPTIONS AND STOCK AWARDS |
Exactech accounts for stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method per Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Companys 2003 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan provides for issuance of stock-based compensation, including the grant of stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options, and other stock-based compensation. Under the plan, the exercise price of option awards equals the market price of Exactechs stock on the date of grant. Option awards typically vest in equal increments over a five year period starting on the first anniversary of the date of grant. An options maximum term is ten years.
The following table provides an expanded reconciliation of earnings per share as reported under APB No. 25 and the pro forma impact of stock-based compensation measured under the fair value approach in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

3. | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The Interpretation requires consolidation of entities with certain equity characteristics that are controlled through interests other than a majority of voting rights. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46 (FIN 46R) to clarify and expand on accounting guidance for variable interest entities. The application of FIN 46R for companies with interests in a special purpose entity is required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Company does not have any unconsolidated variable interests that require consolidation under FIN 46R as of June 30, 2004, and as a result, the adoption of FIN 46R on January 1, 2004 did not have an impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
4. | INVENTORIES |
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and include implant inventory provided to customers and agents. Exactech also provides significant amounts of consigned implant inventory to non-distributor customers. The Companys accounting policies provide for write downs to its inventory, as necessary, based on managements evaluation of its excess and obsolete inventory. This impairment write down establishes a new cost basis for such inventory and is not subsequently recovered through income. The following table summarizes the Companys classifications of inventory as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 (in thousands):

6. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Litigation
Centerpulse Orthopedics, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the Civil Court in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, Alachua County, Florida, against Exactech and one of Exactechs employees. The complaint sought damages in an undisclosed amount alleging that Exactechs employee who is a former employee of Centerpulse, breached a noncompete and confidentiality agreement, and that Exactech is liable for tortious interference with that agreement. This complaint was dismissed with prejudice by the court on April 28, 2004, pending finalization of a proposed settlement agreement between the Parties.
There are various other claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties and pending actions involving various allegations against Exactech incident to the operation of its business, principally product liability cases. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will not face claims resulting in substantial liability for which it is not fully insured or that it will be able to maintain adequate levels of insurance on acceptable terms. A partially or completely uninsured successful claim against Exactech of sufficient magnitude could have a material adverse effect on its earnings and cash flows due to the cost of defending ourselves against such a claim. Exactech establishes accruals for losses that are deemed to be probable and subject to reasonable estimation.
Exactechs insurance policies covering product liability claims must be renewed annually. Although we have been able to obtain insurance coverage concerning product liability claims at a cost and on other terms and conditions that are acceptable, Exactech may not be able to procure acceptable policies in the future.
Purchase Commitments
At June 30, 2004, Exactech had outstanding commitments for the purchase of inventory and raw materials of $2,993,000, along with commitments to purchase $644,000 of capital equipment. At June 30, 2004, Exactech had outstanding purchase commitments associated with certain distribution agreements of $3,528,000 throughout the remaining two year term of the agreements.
Financing Commitments
Exactech has committed to make loans available to Altiva Corporation (Altiva) in an amount of up to $5 million for a period of five years, the proceeds of which are to be used for the acquisition of various spine and spine-related product lines. As of June 30, 2004, no loans had been extended to Altiva by Exactech under this commitment, although we expect to begin providing funding to Altiva in the third quarter ending September 30, 2004. These loans can be converted into shares of the capital stock of Altiva, and in the event that Exactech loans the full $5 million commitment, upon exercise of all outstanding balances under the loans, Exactech will own a 54.5% interest in Altiva. In addition, Exactech is committed to provide Altiva with, or guarantee on behalf of Altiva, a working capital credit line in an amount up to $6 million, which would be collateralized by all of Altivas assets, subject to the prior liens of the lender that provides the working capital line to Altiva. Pursuant to this commitment, the Company has guaranteed an initial $3 million line of credit with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. (Merrill Lynch). At June 30, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under this line. Altiva, all other holders of Altivas preferred stock and certain officers of Altiva have also entered into a stockholders
8
agreement (the Stockholders Agreement) under the terms of which Exactech was granted an option (the Buyout Option), exercisable any time between October 29, 2005 and October 28, 2008, to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Altivas common stock, preferred stock and securities that are convertible into common stock or preferred stock, or all or substantially all of the assets of Altiva. The purchase price payable under the Buyout Option will be based on a valuation of Altiva that is obtained by reference to a multiple which is indexed to the price of Exactechs common stock and multiplied by Altivas trailing twelve months revenue at the time the Buyout Option is exercised. The valuation of Altiva used to compute the purchase price of the Buyout Option may not be less than $25 million.
7. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
The Company reports segment information by its major product lines: knee products, hip products, tissue services, and other products. The other products segment includes miscellaneous sales categories, such as surgical instruments held for sale, bone cement, instrument rental fees, shipping charges, and other implant product lines like the Link® S.T.A.R.TM ankle. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on their respective income from operations before taxes, interest income and expense, and nonrecurring items. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein.
Overview of the Company
Exactech develops, manufactures, markets and sells orthopaedic implant devices, related surgical instrumentation and supplies, as well as distributes services for biologic materials to hospitals and physicians in the United States and internationally. Our revenues are primarily derived from sales of our knee and hip joint replacement systems; however, revenues from worldwide distribution of bone paste products processed for use in non-spinal musculoskeletal orthopaedic procedures have steadily increased as a percentage of our total revenues. Revenue from sales of other products, including surgical instrumentation, Cemex® bone cement, the InterSpace pre-formed cement hip and knee spacers and the Link® S.T.A.R.TM ankle, are expected to contribute to our anticipated revenue growth. Except where the context otherwise requires, the terms we, us, or our refer to the business of Exactech, Inc.
Exactechs operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and royalty expenses. The largest component of operating expenses, sales and marketing expenses, primarily consists of payments made to independent sales representatives for their services to hospitals and surgeons on our behalf. As a result of the nature of these sales and marketing expenses, these expenses tend to be variable in nature and related to sales growth. Research and development expenses primarily consist of expenditures on projects concerning active knee, hip, shoulder and biological products. Royalty expenses consist primarily of expenditures made to the owners of patents and contributing surgeons who have licensed the use of their inventions or contributed their professional expertise to us for our product development and manufacturing uses. Knee implant products generally carry a higher royalty charge than other implant products.
In marketing our products, Exactech uses a combination of traditional targeted media marketing and our primary marketing focus direct customer contact and service to orthopaedic surgeons. Since surgeons are the primary decision maker when it comes to the choice of products and services that best meet the needs of their patients, Exactechs marketing strategy is focused on developing relationships and meeting the needs of the surgeon community in the orthopaedic industry. In cooperation with our independent domestic sales agencies and network of independent distributors internationally, we conduct this effort through continuing education forums, training programs and product development advisory panels.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003
Net Sales
Worldwide net sales increased 15% to $20.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $17.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, from strong growth in the sales of knee implants and tissue services revenue. Knee implant sales increased to $12.4 million, or 18%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, from $10.5 million for the same quarter ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to unit sales growth, aided by growth in average selling prices in the range of 2% to 4%. Revenue from tissue services increased 18% to $2.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from the comparable quarter last year of $2.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, worldwide net sales increased 16% to $41.4 million from $35.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, with increases in sales of knee implant products and tissue services revenue continuing to pace the growth. Sales of knee implants for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased 20% to $25.3 million, from $21.1 million in the same six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to unit sales growth, aided by growth in average selling prices in the range of 2% to 4%. Domestic net sales increased 15% to $16.4 million, representing 80.3% of worldwide sales, in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $14.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, which represented 80.5% of worldwide sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Domestic sales increased 17% to $33.5 million, or 81.1% of total sales, from $28.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, which represented 79.9% of worldwide net sales, as we continued to experience growth in the number of agency representatives in our distribution network. International sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased 16% to $4.0 million, representing 19.7% of total sales, from $3.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, which represented 19.5% of worldwide sales, as increasing market penetration continued in Europe. For the year to date in 2004, international sales increased 9% to $7.8 million, which represented 18.9% of total sales, from $7.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, or 20.1% of worldwide net sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 15% to $13.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $11.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of sales, gross profit remained relatively unchanged at 66.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 66.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, gross profit increased 15% to $27.6 million from $23.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased slightly to 66.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 66.9% for the same period last year, primarily due to increased inventory allowances associated with the build in inventory and increases in startup costs associated with new internal manufacturing projects. Looking forward, we expect to benefit from these new internal manufacturing projects with anticipated increases in gross profit percentage in the range of 50 to 100 basis points during the second half of the year ending December 31, 2004.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased 11% to $10.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $9.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of sales, total operating expenses decreased to 51.0% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 52.8% in the comparable quarter ended June 30, 2003, as we benefited from our efforts at disciplined expense control.
Sales and marketing expenses, the largest component of total operating expenses, increased 7% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 to $5.6 million from $5.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, sales and marketing expenses increased 10% to $11.7 million from $10.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 27.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 29.4% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as expenditures for meetings and marketing materials were comparatively lower. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, sales and marketing expenses were 28.3% as a percentage of sales, down from 29.8% in the same period last year. Looking forward, growth rates in sales and marketing expenditures are expected to increase from the 7% growth experienced in the second quarter as marketing efforts to support new product introductions increase.
14
General and administrative expenses increased 7% to $1.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $1.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, primarily as a result of increases in liability insurance premiums. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 9.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 10.1% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as growth in sales outpaced growth in infrastructure expenditures. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, general and administrative expenses increased 9% to $4.2 million from $3.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to costs associated with product liability and insurance costs. Larger increases in general and administrative expenses are expected for the balance of the year ending December 31, 2004 as we complete the documentation and attestation of our system of internal financial controls in compliance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Research and development expenses increased 42% to $1.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $887,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as we incurred testing and prototyping expenditures on new product development projects slated for introduction later this year. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses increased to 6.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 5.0% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, research and development expenses increased 21% to $2.3 million, equal to 5.6% of sales, as compared to $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, which was 5.3% of sales. Similar growth of research and development expenditures are expected to continue throughout the year ending December 31, 2004 as many active new product development projects near completion and other projects continue to progress.
Depreciation and amortization increased 18% to $996,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $847,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, primarily as a result of continuing investment in manufacturing equipment and technology acquisitions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we incurred $1.8 million of patent technology acquisition costs and placed $216,000 of new manufacturing equipment in service. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, depreciation and amortization increased 19% to $1.9 million from $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we placed $1.3 million of surgical instruments along with $1.1 million of new manufacturing equipment in service to support our expanded manufacturing facility and sales growth. As a percentage of sales, depreciation and amortization has remained relatively constant in each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 in the range of 4.6% to 4.9%.
Royalty expenses decreased 3% to $603,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $624,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as a result of growth in sales of product lines without royalties, including our tissue services and cement products. As a percentage of sales, royalty expenses decreased to 3.0% during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 3.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, royalty expenses decreased to $1.2 million, representing 3.0% of sales, from $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, which equaled 3.5% of sales.
Income from Operations
Our income from operations increased 32% to $3.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $2.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase was attributable to the growth in total revenue as well as the reduction, as a percentage of sales, of total operating expenses as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, income from operations increased 34% to $6.2 million from $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to growth in total revenue coupled with lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales.
Other Income and Expenses
For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we incurred net interest expense of $65,000, as compared to $31,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, due to increased borrowings associated with the Companys expansion of its current facility. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 of $69,000 was partially offset by interest income of $4,000. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 of $40,000 was partially offset by interest income of $9,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we incurred interest expense of $126,000, offset by $10,000 of interest income, as compared to interest expense of $80,000, offset by interest income of $20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, we recognized a gain of $250,000 from the settlement of litigation with RTI, and $500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. These settlement payments ended in the fourth quarter of 2003. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we incurred a net loss on our
15
other investments in Altiva and our joint venture of $90,000 as compared to a net loss of $6,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the net loss on other investments was $192,000 as compared to $16,000 in the comparable six months ended June 30, 2003. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we realized a gain on foreign currency exchange of $26,000, as compared to a loss of $30,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, as a result of Euro denominated accounts payable related to purchases of inventory. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, currency exchange gains equaled $66,000 as compared to a loss of $24,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Net Income
Income before provision for income taxes increased 18% to $3.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $2.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The provision for income taxes was $1.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $924,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was 37.4% as compared to 36.1% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, income before provision for income taxes increased 18% to $5.9 million as compared to $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The provision for income taxes was $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 36.2%, as compared to an effective rate of 35.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increases in effective tax rates for both the second quarter and six months year to date as compared to the prior year are primarily due to the increases in other investments losses which are not currently tax deductible.
As a result of the foregoing, we realized net income of $1.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $1.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 15%. As a percentage of sales, net income was 9.2% in each of the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, were $0.16 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $0.14 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we realized net income of $3.8 million, as compared to $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 17%. As a percentage of sales, net income increased slightly to 9.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 9.0% for the comparable period ended June 30, 2003. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, were $0.32 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $0.28 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have financed our operations through a combination of traditional, commercial debt financing, sales of equity securities and cash flows from our operating activities. At June 30, 2004, we had working capital of $37.3 million, an increase of 13% from $33.1 million at June 30, 2003. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased to $2.7 million at June 30, 2004 from $3.5 million at December 31, 2003. Although we expected a cash position decrease due to inventory increases associated with new product rollouts and ongoing capital acquisitions, the cash decrease was slightly lower than anticipated due to lower than expected funding for our investment in Altiva. We believe that cash flows from operations and borrowing under our existing line of credit facility will be sufficient to meet our commitments and cash requirements in the following twelve months.
Operating Activities- Operating activities provided net cash of $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. The primary reasons for the decrease in cash provided by operating activities were the increases in inventory and accounts receivable, coupled with a decrease in accounts payable. Increases in inventory in each of the six month periods ending June 30, 2004 and 2003 were the same $1.6 million, while the increase in accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.7 million as compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Accounts payable decreases used cash of $506,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to providing cash of $1.1 million due to an increase in accounts payable for the six months ended June 30, 2003. We expect increases in inventory to continue to use cash for the remainder of the year as expenditures for inventory are expected to continue to increase in support of new product introductions.
16
Investing Activities- We used net cash in investing activities of $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $5.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily for the purchase of manufacturing equipment and patent technology. In the six months ended June 30, 2004, we used cash of $2.7 million for purchases of property and equipment, as compared to $5.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. Purchases of technology, including patents and designs totaled $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $508,000 for the purchase of patents in the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Financing Activities- Financing activities provided net cash of $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003. In the first six months of 2004, borrowings under our commercial loan agreements to finance the facility expansion and equipment acquisitions provided net cash of $1.1 million, as compared to $2.4 million in the comparable period ended June 30, 2003, while net payments on our commercial loans in the six months ended June 30, 2004 used cash of $181,000. Proceeds from the exercise of outstanding stock options provided cash of $622,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $360,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Exactech renewed its credit facility with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc., which is secured by substantially all of Exactechs assets. As a part of the renewal, the credit line limit was increased to a maximum amount of $21.0 million less amounts owed by Altiva Corporation to Merrill Lynch, payment of which has been guaranteed by Exactech (as described below) . In addition to this maximum, the credit line may not exceed (a) the sum of 80% of the value of qualified accounts receivable, plus the lesser of (i) 50% of the value of finished goods inventory plus 25% of consigned inventory, which consigned inventory shall not exceed $4 million or (ii) $10.5 million, less (b) the maximum amount of guaranteed obligations for the benefit of Altiva with respect to obligations owed by Altiva to Merrill Lynch. The renewed credit line expires June 30, 2006. Borrowings under the Merrill Lynch credit facility bear interest at One-Month LIBOR plus an applicable margin which ranges from 150 to 200 basis points depending upon our ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. At June 30, 2004, the interest rate on the line of credit was 2.86%; however, there were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit. In 1998, we entered into an industrial revenue bond financing secured by a letter of credit with a local lending institution for construction of our current facility. The balance due under the bond as of June 30, 2004 was $2.7 million and bears a variable rate of interest which was 1.16% as of June 30, 2004. In November 2002, Exactech entered into a long-term commercial construction loan of up to $4.2 million, bearing interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 1.5%, with a local lending institution, secured by an existing letter of credit, to fund the expansion of our corporate facility. At June 30, 2004, there was $3.88 million outstanding under this loan bearing a variable rate of interest equal to 2.78%. During February 2003, we entered into an additional long-term loan of up to $1.5 million, bearing interest at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 1.75% with a minimum rate equal to 3.5%, with a local lending institution for purposes of acquiring office and manufacturing equipment for our facility expansion. At June 30, 2004, $1.4 million was outstanding under this loan bearing a variable rate of interest equal to 3.5%. Our credit facility and other loans contain customary affirmative and negative covenants including certain financial covenants with respect to Exactechs consolidated net worth, interest and debt coverage ratios and limits on capital expenditures and dividends in addition to other restrictions. We were in compliance with such covenants at June 30, 2004.
At June 30, 2004, Exactech had outstanding commitments for the purchase of inventory and raw materials of $3.0 million and $644,000 of capital equipment, as well as purchase commitments related to certain distribution agreements of $3.5 million.
On October 30, 2003, Exactech acquired a 16.7% minority interest in Altiva Corporation. As part of the agreement, we have committed to make loans available to Altiva in an amount of up to $5 million for a period of five years the proceeds of which shall be used for the acquisition of various spine and spine-related product lines. As of June 30, 2004, no loans had been extended to Altiva by Exactech under this commitment, although we expect to begin providing funding to Altiva in the third quarter ending September 30, 2004. These loans can be convertible into shares of the capital stock of Altiva, at our option any time between October 29, 2005 and October 28, 2008, and in the event that Exactech loans the full $5 million commitment, upon conversion of all outstanding balances under the loans, Exactech will own a 54.5% interest in Altiva. In addition, we have committed to provide Altiva with, or guarantee on behalf of Altiva, a working capital credit line in an amount up to $6 million, which would be collateralized by substantially all of Altivas assets, subject to the prior liens of the lender that provides the working capital line to Altiva. Pursuant to this commitment, we have guaranteed an initial $3 million line of credit with Merrill Lynch. This guaranty is limited to a principal amount not to exceed $6 million and a term not
17
to exceed October 30, 2008. At June 30, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under this line. Exactech, Altiva, all other holders of Altivas preferred stock and certain officers of Altiva have also entered into a stockholders agreement under the terms of which Exactech was granted an option, exercisable any time between October 29, 2005 and October 28, 2008, to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Altivas common stock, preferred stock and securities that are convertible into common stock or preferred stock, or all or substantially all of the assets of Altiva. The purchase price payable under this buyout option will be based on an Altiva valuation that is a multiple which is indexed to the price of Exactechs common stock and multiplied by Altivas trailing twelve months revenue at the time the buyout option is exercised. The valuation of Altiva used to compute the purchase price of the buyout option may not be less than $25 million.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures- Based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, Exactechs principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. |

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Centerpulse Orthopedics, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the Civil Court in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, Alachua County, Florida, against Exactech and one of Exactechs employees. The complaint sought damages in an undisclosed amount alleging that Exactechs employee who is a former employee of Centerpulse, breached a noncompete and confidentiality agreement, and that Exactech is liable for tortious interference with that agreement. This complaint was dismissed with prejudice by the court on April 28, 2004, pending finalization of a proposed settlement agreement between the Parties.
There are various other claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties and pending actions involving various allegations against Exactech incident to the operation of its business, principally product liability cases. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will not face claims resulting in substantial liability for which it is not fully insured or that it will be able to maintain adequate levels of insurance on acceptable terms. A partially or completely uninsured successful claim against Exactech of sufficient magnitude could have a material adverse effect on its earnings and cash flows due to the cost of defending ourselves against such a claim. We establish accruals for losses that are deemed to be probable and subject to reasonable estimation.
Item 2. | Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities |
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
