Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

ResMed Inc (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed in March 1994 as a holding company for the ResMed Group. Through our subsidiaries, we design, manufacture and market devices for the evaluation and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, primarily obstructive sleep apnea. Our manufacturing operations are located in Australia, Germany and the United States of America. Major distribution and sales sites are located in the United States of America, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia and Sweden.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2005.

 

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

(a)

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

 

 

(b)

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue on product sales is generally recorded upon shipment, at which time title transfers to the customer. Revenue on product sales which require customer acceptance is not recorded until acceptance is received. Royalty revenue from license agreements is recorded when earned. Service revenue received in advance from service contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service contract. Revenue received in advance from rental unit contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue from sale of marketing or distribution rights is initially deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the life of the contract. Freight charges billed to customers are included in revenue. All freight-related expenses are charged to cost of sales.

(b)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products, other than returns for product defects or other warranty claims, nor do we recognize revenues if we offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or activities. As part of our sales processes we may provide upfront discounts for large orders, one time special pricing to support new product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price-breaks for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. In our U.S. sales activities we use a number of manufacturer representatives to sell our products. These representatives are paid a direct commission on sales and act as an integral component of our U.S. sales force. We do not sell our products to these representatives and do not recognize revenue on such shipments. Our products are predominantly therapy-based equipment and require no installation. As such, we have no significant installation obligations.

 

 

(c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and other highly liquid investments are stated at cost, which approximates market. Investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are considered to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

 

(d)

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. We review and provide for any product obsolescence in our manufacturing and distribution operations with assessments of individual products and components (based on estimated future usage and sales) being performed throughout the year.

 

 

(e)

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment, including rental equipment, is recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight–line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two to ten years except for buildings which are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Straight–line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

 

(f)

Patents

 

The registration costs for new patents are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent, generally five years. In the event of a patent being superseded, the unamortized costs are written off immediately.

(g)

Goodwill

 

We conducted our annual review for goodwill impairment as at June 30, 2004. In conducting our review of goodwill impairment, we identified reporting units, being components of our operating segment, as each of the entities acquired and giving rise to the goodwill. The fair value for each reporting unit was determined based on discounted cash flows and involved a two step process as follows:

 

 

Step 1 -

Compare the fair value for each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, move on to step 2. If a reporting unit’s fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.

 

 

Step 2 -

Allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This will derive an implied fair value for the goodwill. Then, compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.

 

The results of the review indicated that no impaired goodwill existed at June 30, 2004.

 

 

(h)

Foreign Currency

 

The consolidated financial statements of our non–U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are other than U.S. dollars, are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities of non–U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar are translated at period end exchange rates, and revenue and expense transactions are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are recognized as part of comprehensive income, as described in Note 5, and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet until such time as the subsidiary is sold or substantially or completely liquidated. Gains and losses on transactions denominated in other than the functional currency of the entity are reflected in operations.

Research and Development

 

All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.

(j)

Earnings Per Share

 

The weighted average shares used to calculate basic earnings per share was 33,888,000 and 33,649,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The difference between basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is attributable to the impact of outstanding stock options during the periods presented. Stock options had the effect of increasing the number of shares used in the calculation (by application of the treasury stock method) by 1,370,000 and 1,440,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Stock options of 1,070,000 and 996,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect of exercising these options would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

(k)

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities available-for-sale, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at September 30, 2004 approximates $117.2 million compared with the carrying value of $113.3 million. Foreign currency option contracts are marked to market and therefore reflect their fair value. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

 

(l)

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

 

We enter into various types of foreign exchange contracts in managing our foreign exchange risk, including derivative financial instruments encompassing forward exchange contracts and foreign currency options.

 

The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to protect us from adverse exchange rate fluctuations with respect to net cash movements resulting from the sales of products to foreign customers and Australian manufacturing activities. We enter into foreign currency option contracts to hedge anticipated sales and manufacturing costs, principally denominated in Australian dollars and Euros. The terms of such foreign currency option contracts generally do not exceed three years.

(l)

Foreign Exchange Risk Management (continued)

 

Our foreign currency derivatives portfolio represents a cash flow hedge program against the net cash flow of our international manufacturing operations. We have determined our hedge program to be a non-effective hedge as defined under SFAS 133. The foreign currency derivatives portfolio is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and included in other assets or other liabilities.

 

All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives are recorded within other income, net on our consolidated statements of income.

 

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counter parties to financial instruments. The credit exposure of foreign exchange options at September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 was $2.6 million and $2.0 million respectively, which represents the positive fair value of options held by us.

 

We held foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts totaling $137.1 million and $140.6 million at September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 respectively to hedge foreign currency items. These contracts mature at various dates prior to July 2006.

 

 

(m)

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

 

(n)

Marketable Securities

 

Management determines the appropriate classification of our investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which we do not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

At September 30, 2004, the investments in debt securities were classified on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as marketable securities-available-for-sale. These investments are diversified among high credit quality securities in accordance with our investment policy.

(p)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including certain identifiable intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

 

(q)

Cost-Method Investments

 

The aggregate carrying amount of our cost-method investments at September 30, 2004 were $5.3 million. At June 30, 2004, we performed our annual impairment analysis of the carrying value of these investments and determined that the fair value of the investments exceeded the carrying values and no unrealized losses existed.

Capitalized Software Production Costs

 

Software development costs have been capitalized and will be amortized to the cost of product revenues over the estimated economic lives (generally three to five years) of the products that include such software. Total net capitalized software production costs were $1.0 million and $1.2 million at September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 respectively.

Stock-based Employee Compensation

 

We have granted stock options to personnel, including officers and directors, under both our 1995 Option Plan and our 1997 Equity Participation Plan. These options have expiration dates of ten years from the date of grant and vest over three or four years. We granted these options with the exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant.

 

We apply APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations, in accounting for our equity plans, and as all stock options are issued at market price on date of issue, no compensation cost has been recognized for the grant of stock options. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation (in thousand except per share data):

Stock-based Employee Compensation (continued)

 

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: weighted average risk-free interest rates of 3.2% and 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively; no dividend yield; expected option lives of 4.2 years and 4.0 years for the three months ended September, 2004 and 2003, respectively and volatility of 38% and 63% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended September 30 2004, were as follows:

 

(In US$ thousands)

 

    

Balance at June 30, 2004

   $ 106,075

Foreign currency translation adjustments

These intangible assets consist of patents and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent, generally five years. There are no expected residual values related to these intangible assets.

Long-Term Debt

 

On June 20, 2001 we issued $150.0 million of 4% convertible subordinated notes that are due to mature on June 20, 2006. On July 3, 2001, we received an additional $30.0 million in over allotments. This increased the total amount of convertible subordinated notes issued to $180.0 million.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2004, and during the year ended June 30, 2004, we did not repurchase any of our convertible subordinated notes.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2003, we repurchased $10.0 million face value of our convertible subordinated notes. The total purchase price of the notes was $9.4 million, including $0.2 million in accrued interest. We recognized a gain of $0.3 million, net of tax of $0.2 million, on these transactions.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, we repurchased $56.8 million face value of our convertible subordinated notes. The total purchase price of the notes was $49.1 million, including $0.6 million in accrued interest. We recognized a gain of $4.0 million, net of tax of $2.5 million on these transactions.

 

As at September 30, 2004, we had convertible subordinated notes outstanding of $113.3 million.

 

The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity, into shares of common stock of ResMed Inc. The notes are currently convertible at a conversion price of $60.60 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of 16.5017 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment.

Long-Term Debt, Continued

 

We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time on or after June 22, 2004, but prior to June 20, 2005, at a redemption price equal to 101.6% of the principal amount of notes redeemed, and at any time after June 19, 2005, at a redemption price of 100.8% of the principal amount of notes, plus in any case accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if the closing price of our common stock has exceeded 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date of mailing of the optional redemption notice.

 

The notes are general unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and will be effectively subordinated to all of the indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries. The indenture governing the notes does not limit us or our subsidiaries from incurring senior indebtedness or other indebtedness.

 

Interest is to be paid on the notes on June 20 and December 20 of each year.

Restructuring Expenses

 

Restructuring expenses incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 of $2.0 million ($1.2 million net of tax) consisted of restructuring expenses (predominantly one-time termination benefits) associated with the Company’s decision to integrate the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit. This will involve the relocation of our ResMed Germany operation (currently located in Moenchengladbach) to Munich and integration of the back office functions including customer service, logistics and administration. It will also involve integration of the sales and marketing teams. The total restructure expenses including the expenses recognized in the September 30, 2004 quarter, are estimated to be $4.5 million ($2.7 million net of tax). We expect to incur the balance of the restructure expenses over the course of the 2005 fiscal year.

 

Following is a summary of the restructuring liabilities related to the restructure and integration of the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit, that were recorded during the three-months ended September 30, 2004 (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, we are subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. While the results of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

 

During September and October 2004, the Company began receiving tax assessment notices for the audit of one of its German subsidiaries by the German tax authorities for the years 1996 through 1998. Certain of these adjustments are being contested and appealed to the German tax authority office. We believe no additional provision is necessary for any tax adjustment that may result from the tax audit. However, the outcome of the audit cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any tax audit issues be resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period of resolution.

 

We have given guarantees totaling $1.2 million relating to guarantees required by statutory authorities as a pre-requisite to developing our site at Norwest and to guarantees required by contracts with insurance companies transacting with our German subsidiaries.

Business Acquisitions

 

Three months ended September 30, 2004

 

No acquisitions were made during the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2004

 

On July 2, 2003 we acquired the assets of Respro Medical Company Limited (“Respro”), our Hong Kong distributor for total consideration of $184,000 in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the results of operations of Respro has been included within our consolidated financial statements from July 2, 2003. An amount of $89,000, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired of $95,000, has been recorded as goodwill.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

The following is an overview of the results of the three months ended September 30, 2004. It should be read together with the details provided in the individual sections below.

 

We are leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of medical equipment for the diagnosis, treatment and management of sleep-disordered breathing. We offer a comprehensive range of product in over 60 countries. We derive our revenue primarily from the sale of medical devices and accessories to treat individuals who suffer from sleep-disordered breathing.

 

During the quarter, our net revenue increased by 20%, and gross profit increased by 19%, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2003. These results were primarily driven by increasing unit sales of our products. Earnings per share increased to $0.39 per share, up from $0.35 per share in the September 2003 quarter. The result includes restructuring expenses of $2.0 million ($1.2 million net of tax) associated with the restructure of our German operations. We experienced a favorable product mix due to increased sales of higher margin products during the quarter, but this was offset by the impact of a stronger Australian dollar, which increased manufacturing and research and development costs. We recognized other expenses of $0.3 million, primarily reflecting interest expense on our convertible debt. Our selling, general and administrative expenses equaled 30% of our net revenue, consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $87.7 million from $72.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $14.8 million or 20%. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales of the Company’s flow generators and masks. Sales also benefited from an appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar (increasing sales by approximately $3.1 million). Net revenue in North and Latin America increased for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $45.6 million from $34.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $11.0 million or 32%. We believe this growth primarily reflects increased public and physician awareness of sleep-disordered breathing. Net revenue in international markets for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased to $42.1 million from $38.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $3.9 million or 10%. International sales growth for the three months ended September 30, 2004 reflects organic growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market, and appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by lower sales in the Japanese market this quarter compared to the same time last year.

 

Sales of flow generators for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 11% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 including increases of 20% in North and Latin America and 5% elsewhere. Sales of mask systems, motors and other accessories increased by 30% including increases of 42% in North and Latin America and 16% elsewhere, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003. These increases primarily reflect growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market and appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by lower sales in the Japanese market.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $56.4 million from $47.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $9.2 million or 19%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue declined for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to 64% compared to a margin of 65% for the three months ended September 30, 2003, reflecting the impact of higher manufacturing costs in our Australian manufacturing facility resulting from a stronger Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar (as the majority of manufacturing labor and overhead costs are incurred in Australia), partially offset by a more favorable product mix due to increased sales of higher margin products.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $26.7 million from $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $4.5 million or 20%. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was 30%, consistent with the three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to an increase in the number of sales and administrative personnel and other expenses related to the increase in our sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was also attributable to appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar (adding approximately $1.2 million to our expenses as reported in U.S. dollars).

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $6.8 million from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $0.8 million or 13%. As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses were 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in research and development expenses was due to increased salaries associated with an increase in personnel and increased charges for consulting fees, clinical trials and technical assessments incurred to facilitate development of new products. The increase also reflects an appreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar, as the majority of research and development costs are incurred in Australian dollars. The appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar added approximately $0.4 million to our research and development expenses as reported in U.S. dollars.

 

Restructuring Expenses

 

Restructuring expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2004 were $2.0 million ($1.2 million net of tax) and consisted of restructuring charges associated with our decision to integrate the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit. This will involve the relocation of our ResMed Germany operation (currently located in Moenchengladbach) to Munich and integration of the back office functions including customer service, logistics and administration. It will also involve integration of the sales and marketing teams. The total restructure expenses including the expenses recognized in the current quarter, are estimated at $4.5 million ($2.7 million net of tax). We expect to incur the balance of the restructure expenses over the course of fiscal year 2005.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Other Income (Expenses), Net

 

Other income (expense), net decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to net expense of $0.3 million compared to net expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in other expense, net was attributable to lower foreign currency exchange losses and, to a lesser extent, lower interest expense.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 was 32.6% compared to 31.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. The higher tax rate was primarily attributable to the geographical mix of taxable income, partially offset by the tax benefit associated with our restructuring expenses. We continue to benefit from the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% because we generate a majority of our taxable income in Australia.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available-for-sale of approximately $144.4 million and $140.9 million, respectively. Working capital approximated $225.3 million and $217.2 million at September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively.

 

Inventories at September 30, 2004 increased by $5.1 million or 9% to $61.1 million compared to September 30, 2003 inventories of $56.0 million. The percentage increase in inventories was less than the 20% increase in revenues in the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the three-month period September 30, 2003. The lower inventory growth reflects improved inventory management throughout the group. Accounts receivable at September 30, 2004 were $68.8 million, an increase of $12.8 million or 23% over the September 30, 2003 accounts receivable balance of $56.0 million. This increase was broadly consistent with the 20% increase in revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding, at 70 days for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, increased by one day compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Our allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004 was 4.2% and 4.5%, respectively. The credit quality of our customers remains consistent with our past experience.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, we generated cash of $16.6 million from operations, primarily as a result of increased profit partially offset by higher working capital, particularly in respect of inventories. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 approximately $12.6 million of cash was generated by operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources, Continued

 

Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 aggregated $7.5 million and $11.0 million respectively. The majority of the expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2004 related to the construction of our new sleep center, research and development and office facilities at our Campus in Norwest Business Park in Sydney, Australia, acquisition of computer hardware and software and purchase of production tooling and equipment. The capital expenditures in the three months ended September 30, 2003 primarily related to the construction of our new manufacturing facility, acquisition of computer hardware and software and purchase of production tooling and equipment. As a result of these capital expenditures, our balance sheet reflects net property, plant and equipment of approximately $154.1 million at September 30, 2004 compared to $147.3 million at June 30, 2004.

 

We may from time to time seek to retire our convertible subordinated notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, and our current or future contractual obligations, if any, that may directly or indirectly apply to such transactions. We did not repurchase any convertible subordinated notes during the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 or during the year ended June 30, 2004.

 

In April 2002, we acquired a 30-acre site at Norwest Business Park, located in the northwest of Sydney, Australia. The site was acquired to develop a campus to accommodate our global manufacturing operations and research and development group as well as a sleep center and administration functions. The first building, our manufacturing facility, was completed in May 2004. We expect to complete our new sleep center in the second half of calendar 2004 and to complete our new research and development and office facilities in the second half of calendar year 2006. We estimate that the additional building costs for the new sleep center, research and development and office facilities will be approximately $54 million.

 

On June 6, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 4.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock. For the three month period ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended June 30, 2004, we repurchased 241,090 and 471,004 shares at a cost of $11.0 million and $19.0 million respectively. Since the inception of the share buyback program, we have repurchased 1,127,459 shares at a cost of $41.4 million. We may continue to repurchase shares of our common stock for cash in the open market, or in negotiated or block transactions, from time to time as market and business conditions warrant.

The above guarantees relate to guarantees required by statutory authorities as a pre-requisite to developing our site at Norwest and requirements under contractual obligations with insurance companies transacting with our German subsidiaries.

 

The results of our international operations are affected by changes in exchange rates between currencies. Changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our consolidated net revenue and gross profit margins from international operations. We are exposed to the risk that the dollar value equivalent of anticipated cash flows would be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We manage this risk through foreign currency option contracts.

 

We expect to satisfy all of our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations and a $15.0 million undrawn revolving line of credit with Union Bank of California.

 

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty obligations, goodwill, impaired assets, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies.

 

We state these accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements and at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. The estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates, Continued

 

(1) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments, which results in bad debt expense. We determine the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual customer receivables, considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

(2) Inventory Adjustments. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and are determined by the first-in, first-out method. We review the components of inventory on a regular basis for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory based on estimated future usage and sales. The likelihood of any material inventory write-downs is dependent on changes in competitive conditions, new product introductions by us or our competitors, or rapid changes in customer demand.

 

(3) Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. We use assumptions in establishing the carrying value, fair value and estimated lives of our long-lived assets and goodwill. The criteria used for these evaluations include management’s estimate of the asset’s continuing ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods compared to the carrying value of the asset, as well as the strategic significance of any identifiable intangible asset in our business objectives. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Useful lives and related amortization or depreciation expense are based on our estimate of the period that the assets will generate revenues or otherwise be used by us.

 

Factors that would influence the likelihood of a material change in our reported results include significant changes in the asset’s ability to generate positive cash flow, loss of legal ownership or title to the asset, a significant decline in the economic and competitive environment on which the asset depends, significant changes in our strategic business objectives, utilization of the asset, and a significant change in the economic and/or political conditions in certain countries.

 

(4) Valuation of Deferred Income Taxes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The likelihood of a material change in our expected realization of these assets is dependent on future taxable income, our ability to deduct tax loss carry forwards against future taxable income, the effectiveness of our tax planning and strategies among the various tax jurisdictions that we operate in, and any significant changes in the tax treatment received on our business combinations.

(5) Provision for Warranty. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The amount of this provision is determined by using a financial model, which takes into consideration actual, historical expenses and potential risks associated with our different products. This financial model is then used to calculate the future probable expenses related to warranty and the required level of the warranty provision. Although we engage in product improvement programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and costs incurred to correct those product failures. Should actual product failure rates or estimated costs to repair those product failures differ from our estimates, revisions to our estimated warranty provision would be required.

 

(6) Revenue Recognition. Revenue on product sales is recorded at the time of shipment, at which time title transfers to the customer. Revenue on product sales which require customer acceptance is not recorded until acceptance is received. Royalty revenue from license agreements is recorded when earned. Service revenue received in advance from service contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service contract. Revenue received in advance from rental unit contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue from sale of marketing and distribution rights is initially deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the life of the contract. Freight charges billed to customers are included in revenue. All freight-related expenses are charged to cost of sales.

 

We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products, other than returns for product defects or other warranty claims, nor do we recognize revenues if we offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or activities. As part of our sales processes we may provide upfront discounts for large orders, one time special pricing to support new product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price-breaks for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. In our domestic sales activities we use a number of manufacturer representatives to sell our products. These representatives are paid a direct commission on sales and act as an integral component of our domestic sales force. We do not sell our products to these representatives, and do not recognize revenue on such shipments. Our products are predominantly therapy-based equipment and require no installation. As such, we have no significant installation obligations.

Foreign Currency Market Risk

 

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, although we transact business in various foreign currencies, including a number of major European currencies as well as the Australian dollar. We have significant foreign currency exposure through both our Australian manufacturing activities and international sales operations.

 

We have established a foreign currency hedging program using purchased currency options to hedge foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and manufacturing expenditure. The goal of this hedging program is to economically guarantee or lock in the exchange rates on our foreign currency exposures denominated in Euro’s and the Australian dollar. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities, and firm commitments are partially offset by gains and losses on the hedging instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to risk associated with changes in interest rates affecting the return on our investments.

 

At September 30, 2004, we maintained a portion of our cash and cash equivalents in financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. We maintain a short-term investment portfolio containing financial instruments of which the majority have original maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months. These financial instruments, principally comprised of corporate obligations, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if interest rates increase.

 

A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2004, would have resulted in approximately $0.2 million change in pretax income. In addition, the value of our marketable securities would change by less than $0.1 million following a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

Risk Factors

 

The risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition or results of operations include the following:

 

Our inability to compete successfully in our markets may harm our business. The markets for our sleep-disordered breathing products are highly competitive and are characterized by frequent product improvements and evolving technology. Our ability to compete successfully depends, in part, on our ability to develop innovative new products and to be the first to market with those products. The development of innovative new products by our competitors or the discovery of alternative treatments or potential cures for the conditions that our products treat could make our products noncompetitive or obsolete.

 

Additionally, some of our competitors have greater financial, research and development, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. The past several years have seen a trend towards consolidation in the health care industry and in the markets for our products. Industry consolidation could result in greater competition if our competitors combine their resources or if our competitors are acquired by other companies with greater resources than ours. This competition could increase pressure on us to reduce the selling prices of our products or could cause us to increase our spending on research and development and sales and marketing. If we are unable to develop innovative new products, maintain competitive pricing, and offer products that consumers perceive to be as reliable as those of our competitors, our sales or gross margins could decrease which would harm our business.

 

Our business depends on our ability to market effectively to dealers of home health care products and sleep clinics. We market our products primarily to home health care dealers and to sleep clinics that diagnose obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. We believe that home health care dealers and sleep clinics play a significant role in determining which brand of product a patient will use. The success of our business depends on our ability to market effectively to home health care dealers and sleep clinics to ensure that our products are properly marketed and sold by these third parties.

 

We have limited resources to market to the more than 2,500 U.S. sleep clinics and the more than 4,000 home health care dealer branch locations, most of which use, sell or recommend several brands of products. In addition, home health care dealers have experienced price pressures as government and third-party reimbursement have declined for home care products, and home health care dealers are requiring price discounts and longer periods of time to pay for products purchased from us. We cannot assure you that sleep clinic physicians will continue to prescribe our products, or that home health care dealers or patients will not substitute competing products when a prescription specifying our products has been written.

 

We have expanded our marketing activities to target the population with a predisposition to sleep- disordered breathing as well as primary care physicians and various medical specialists. We cannot assure you that these marketing efforts will be successful in increasing awareness of our products.

Risk Factors, Continued

 

Any inability to effectively market our products outside the U.S. could impact our profitability. Approximately half our revenues are generated outside the U.S., in approximately 60 different countries. Many of these countries have unique regulatory, medical, and business environments. If we are unable to effectively market our products outside the U.S., our overall financial performance could decline.

 

If we are unable to support our continued growth, our business could suffer. We have experienced rapid and substantial growth. As we continue to grow, the complexity of our operations increases, placing greater demands on our management. Our ability to manage our growth effectively depends on our ability to implement and improve our financial and management information systems on a timely basis and to effect other changes in our business. Unexpected difficulties during expansion, the failure to attract and retain qualified employees, the failure to successfully replace or upgrade our management information systems, the failure to manage costs or our inability to respond effectively to growth or plan for future expansion could cause our growth to stop. If we fail to manage our growth, our business could suffer.

 

If we fail to integrate our acquisitions with our operations, our business could suffer. The integration of our acquired operations requires significant efforts from our company and the acquired entity, for several years after each acquisition. Although we acquired our MAP subsidiary in February 2001, our Labhardt subsidiary in November 2001, and our Servo Magnetics subsidiary in May 2002, we continue to adjust our business strategies, equipment, and personnel to achieve maximum efficiencies and success. For example, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, we began combining the business operations in Germany of MAP and our ResMed subsidiary in Germany. We expect to continue that process during the balance of fiscal year 2005. If we are not able to successfully integrate the operations of our acquired entities, we may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.

 

We manufacture substantially all of our products outside the U.S. and sell a significant portion of our products in non-U.S. markets, subjecting us to various risks relating to international activities that could adversely affect our overall profitability. Sales outside North and Latin America accounted for approximately 51%, 52%, and 51% of our net revenues in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We expect that sales within these areas will account for approximately 50% of our net revenues in the foreseeable future. Our sales outside of North America and our operations in Europe, Australia and Asia are subject to several difficulties and risks that are separate and distinct from those we face in our U.S. operations, including:

 

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

tariffs and other trade barriers;

 

compliance with foreign medical device manufacturing regulations;

 

reduction in third party payer reimbursement for our products;

 

inability to obtain import licenses;

 

changes in trade policies and in U.S. and foreign tax policies;

 

possible changes in export or import restrictions; and

 

the modification or introduction of other governmental policies with potentially adverse effects.

Risk Factors, Continued

 

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in our reported sales and earnings. Since our international sales and a significant portion of our manufacturing costs are denominated in local currencies and not in U.S. dollars, our reported sales and earnings are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We had foreign currency transaction losses in recent periods and may have further losses in the future. We expect that international sales will continue to be a significant portion of our business and that a significant portion of our manufacturing costs will continue to be denominated in Australian dollars.

 

Government and private insurance plans may not reimburse patients for our products, which could result in reductions in sales or selling prices for our products. Our ability to sell our products depends in large part on the extent to which reimbursement for the cost of our products will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. These third party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. Therefore, even if a product is approved for marketing, we cannot assure you that reimbursement will be allowed for the product, that the reimbursement amount will be adequate or, that the reimbursement amount even if initially adequate, will not subsequently be reduced. For example, in some markets, such as Spain, France and Germany, government reimbursement is currently available for purchase or rental of our products but is subject to constraints such as price controls or unit sales limitations. In other markets, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, there is currently limited or no reimbursement for devices that treat sleep-disordered breathing conditions. Additionally, future legislation or regulation concerning the health care industry or third party or governmental coverage and reimbursement, particularly legislation or regulation limiting consumers’ reimbursement rights, may harm our business.

 

As we continue to develop new products, those products will generally not qualify for reimbursement, if at all, until they are approved for marketing. In the United States, we sell our products primarily to home health care dealers and to sleep clinics. Although we sell some products directly to agencies of the US Government, we do not file claims and bill governmental programs and other third party payers directly for reimbursement for the sale of our products to patients. However, we are still subject to laws and regulations relating to governmental reimbursement programs, particularly Medicaid and Medicare.

 

In particular, the federal Anti-Kickback Law prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, recommending or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal health care program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The government has interpreted this law broadly to apply to the marketing and sales activities of manufacturers and distributors like us. Many states and other governments have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Law. We are also subject to other federal and state fraud laws applicable to payment from any third party payer. These laws prohibit persons from knowingly and willfully filing false claims or executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program, including private third party payers. These laws may apply to manufacturers and distributors who provide information on coverage, coding, and reimbursement of their products to persons who do bill third party payers. Any violation of these laws and regulations could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines.

Risk Factors, Continued

 

In addition to reimbursement for our products, our customers depend in part on reimbursement by government and private health insurers for other products. During fiscal years 2004 and 2005, the U.S. Government proposed reductions in reimbursement rates for some of these other products. Such proposed reductions, if they occur, may have a material impact on our customers. Any material impact on our customers may indirectly affect our sales to those customers, or the collectibility of receivables we have from those customers.

 

Complying with Food and Drug Administration and other regulations is an expensive and time-consuming process, and any failure to comply could result in substantial penalties. We are subject to various federal, state, local and international regulations regarding our business activities. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, recalls of our products, substantial fines and criminal charges against us or against our employees. A recall or other regulatory action could increase our costs, damage our reputation, and materially affect operating results.

 

Product sales, introductions or modifications may be delayed or canceled as a result of the FDA or similar foreign regulations, which could cause our sales and profits to decline. Before we can market or sell a new medical device in the United States, we must obtain FDA clearance, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process. We generally receive clearance from the FDA to market our products in the United States under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or our products are exempt from the 510(k) clearance process. We have modified some of our 510(k) approved products without submitting new 510(k) notices, which we do not believe were required. However, if the FDA disagrees with us and requires us to submit new 510(k) notifications for modifications to our existing products, we may be required to stop marketing the products while the FDA reviews the 510(k) notification.

 

Any new product introduction or existing product modification could be subjected to a lengthier, more rigorous FDA examination process. For example, in certain cases we may need to conduct clinical trials of a new product prior to submitting a 510(k) notice. Additionally, we may be required to obtain premarket approvals for our products. The requirements of these more rigorous processes could delay product introductions and increase the costs associated with FDA compliance. Marketing and sale of our products outside the United States are also subject to regulatory clearances and approvals, and if we fail to obtain these regulatory clearances and approvals, our sales could suffer.

 

We cannot assure you that any new products we develop will receive required regulatory clearances and approvals from U.S. or foreign regulatory agencies.

 

Off-label marketing of our products could result in substantial penalties. Clearance under Section 510(k) only permits us to market our products for the uses indicated on the labeling cleared by the FDA. We may request additional label indications for our current products, and the FDA may deny those requests outright, require additional expensive clinical data to support any additional indications or impose limitations on the intended use of any cleared products as a condition of clearance. If the FDA determines that we have marketed our products for off-label use, we could be subject to fines, injunctions or other penalties.

Disruptions in the supply of components from our single source suppliers could result in a significant reduction in sales and profitability. We purchase uniquely configured components for our devices from various suppliers, including some who are single-source suppliers for us. We cannot assure you that a replacement supplier would be able to configure its components for our devices on a timely basis or, in the alternative, that we would be able to reconfigure our devices to integrate the replacement part. A reduction or halt in supply while a replacement supplier reconfigures its components, or while we reconfigure our devices for the replacement part, would limit our ability to manufacture our devices, which could result in a significant reduction in sales and profitability. We cannot assure you that our inventories would be adequate to meet our production needs during any prolonged interruption of supply.

 

Our intellectual property may not protect our products, and our products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets and non-disclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain and maintain United States and foreign patent protection for our products, their uses and our processes to preserve our trade secrets and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. We have a number of pending patent applications, and we do not know whether any patents will issue from any of these applications. We do not know whether any of the claims in our issued patents or pending applications will provide us with any significant protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially valuable. Legal standards regarding the validity of patents and the proper scope of their claims are still evolving, and there is no consistent law or policy regarding the valid breadth of claims. Additionally, there may be third party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products and technology which are not known to us and that block or compete with our products.

 

We face the risks that:

 

third parties will infringe our intellectual property rights;

 

our non-disclosure agreements will be breached;

 

we will not have adequate remedies for infringement;

 

our trade secrets will become known to or independently developed by our competitors; or

 

third parties will be issued patents that may prevent the sale of our products or require us to license and pay fees or royalties in order for us to be able to market some of our products.

 

Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents issued to us, to protect our proprietary rights, or to defend third party claims that we have infringed upon proprietary rights of others. The defense and prosecution of patent claims, including these pending claims, as well as participation in other inter-party proceedings, can be expensive and time consuming, even in those instances in which the outcome is favorable to us. If the outcome of any litigation or proceeding brought against us were adverse, we could be subject to significant liabilities to third parties, could be required to obtain licenses from third parties or could be required to cease sales of the affected products. Additionally, the laws regarding the enforceability of patents vary from country to country, and we cannot assure you that any patent issues we face will be uniformly resolved, or that local laws will provide us with consistent rights and benefits.

We are subject to potential product liability claims that may exceed the scope and amount of our insurance coverage, which would expose us to liability for uninsured claims. We are subject to potential product liability claims as a result of the design, manufacture and marketing of medical devices. Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in the increase of our product liability insurance rates. In addition, we would have to pay any amount awarded by a court in excess of our policy limits. Our insurance policies have various exclusions, and thus we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no insurance coverage, in which case, we may have to pay the entire amount of any award. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate or that all claims brought against us will be covered by our insurance. Insurance varies in cost and can be difficult to obtain, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain insurance in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all. A successful product liability claim brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, if any, may require us to pay substantial amounts, which could harm our business.

 

We are subject to tax audits by various tax authorities in many jurisdictions. From time to time we may be audited by the tax authorities of the many jurisdictions in which we operate and we were subject to tax audits in Germany during the three months ended September 30, 2004. The German tax audit remains ongoing and any further assessments resulting from this audit could result in material changes to our past or future taxable income, tax payable or deferred tax assets, and could require us to pay penalties and interest that could materially adversely affect our financial results.

 

Our quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuation for a variety of reasons. Our operating results have, from time to time, fluctuated on a quarterly basis and may be subject to similar fluctuations in the future. These fluctuations may result from a number of factors, including:

 

the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;

 

the geographic mix of product sales;

 

the success of our marketing efforts in new regions;

 

changes in third party reimbursement;

 

timing of regulatory clearances and approvals;

 

timing of orders by distributors;

 

expenditures incurred for research and development;

 

competitive pricing in different regions;

 

seasonality;

 

the cost and effect of promotional and marketing programs;

 

the effect of foreign currency transaction gains or losses; and

 

other activities of our competitors.

If a natural or man-made disaster strikes our manufacturing facilities, we will be unable to manufacture our products for a substantial amount of time and our sales and profitability will decline. Our facilities and the manufacturing equipment we use to produce our products would be costly to replace and could require substantial lead-time to repair or replace. The facilities may be affected by natural or man-made disasters and in the event it was affected by a disaster, we would be forced to rely on third party manufacturers. Although we believe we possess adequate insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of our business from casualties, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Delaware law, provisions in our charter and our shareholder rights plan could make it difficult for another company to acquire us. Provisions of our certificate of incorporation may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management which might be beneficial to us or our security holders. In particular, our board of directors is divided into three classes, serving for staggered three-year terms. Because of this classification it will require at least two annual meetings to elect directors constituting a majority of our board of directors.

 

Additionally, our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without further vote or action by the stockholders. Under our stockholder rights plan, we have also issued purchase rights to the holders of our common stock that entitle those holders to purchase our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a discount, under certain circumstances. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

You may not be able to enforce the judgments of U.S. courts against some of our assets or officers and directors. A substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. Additionally, two of our seven directors and two of our five executive officers reside outside the United States, along with all or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments of U.S. courts relating to any liabilities under U.S. securities laws against our assets, those persons or their assets. In addition, we have been advised by our Australian counsel that some doubt exists as to the ability of investors to pursue claims based on U.S. securities laws against these assets or these persons in Australian courts.

Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our 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 September 30, 2004. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
