AMERICAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. The year-end balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. All amounts presented in tables are in thousands, except per share data.
These statements reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period may not be indicative of results for the full year.
We have a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest December 31. Accordingly, the second fiscal quarters of 2010 and 2009 are represented by the three month periods ended on July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 will separate multiple-deliverable arrangements in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP and will establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. In addition, it will replace the term “fair value” in the revenue allocation guidance with “selling price” to clarify the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a market place participant, eliminate the use of the residual method for allocation, and expand on-going disclosure requirements. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We plan to adopt this updated accounting guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements on a prospective basis for our fiscal year beginning on January 2, 2011, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
At July 3, 2010, the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (2005 Plan), is our one active stock-based employee compensation plan under which new awards may be granted. Awards under the 2005 Plan include incentive stock options, non-qualified option grants and restricted stock. Amounts recognized in our financial statements related to stock-based compensation were as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
(in thousands)   July 3, 2010     July 4, 2009     July 3, 2010     July 4, 2009  
           
Cost of sales
  $ 253     $ 245     $ 501     $ 486  
Marketing and selling
    510       512       961       967  
Research and development
    300       302       585       589  
General and administrative
    1,238       1,201       2,083       2,434  
 
                       
Total stock-based compensation expense
  $ 2,301     $ 2,260     $ 4,130     $ 4,476  
 
                       
Options granted under the 2005 Plan generally become exercisable for twenty-five percent of the shares on the first anniversary date of the grant and 6.25 percent at the end of each quarter thereafter. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.
Options granted under our 2005 Plan generally have a stated expiration, if not exercised or earlier terminated, seven years after the date of grant. Options that were granted under our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) generally have a stated expiration, if not exercised or earlier terminated, ten years after the date of grant.

Table of Contents

Stock option activity under our 2005 Plan and 2000 Plan for the six months ended July 3, 2010 was as follows:
                         
            Weighted average     Aggregate  
    Options     exercise price     Intrinsic  
    outstanding     per share     Value  
                    (in thousands)

    1,118,850       18.77

    (1,152,016 )     14.08          
Cancelled or expired
    (263,164 )     17.78          
 
                 
Balance at July 3, 2010
    6,865,215     $ 15.74     $ 43,959  
 
                 
Options exercisable at July 3, 2010
    4,084,516     $ 15.84     $ 25,783  
 
                 
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended July 3, 2010 was $5.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively. As of July 3, 2010, we had $13.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options granted under our 2005 Plan. We expect that cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.
Restricted stock awards are granted under the 2005 Plan. Restricted stock awards are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Restricted stock generally vest over a three or four year period. During the vesting period, ownership of the shares cannot be transferred. Restricted stock is considered issued and outstanding at the grant date and has the same dividend and voting rights as other common stock. We recognize compensation expense for the fair value of the restricted stock grants issued based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The 2005 Plan does not designate the specific number of shares available for restricted stock grants, as these are issued from the full pool of shares available under the plan. The option pool is reduced by two shares for each restricted share granted.
Restricted stock activity under our 2005 Plan for the six months ended July 3, 2010 was as follows:
                 
    Unvested Shares     Weighted average  
    outstanding     grant date fair value  
Balance at January 2, 2010
    233,525     $ 15.79  
Granted
    120,480       18.83  
Vested
    (30,647 )     16.08  
Cancelled
    (13,850 )     15.89  
 
           
Balance at July 3, 2010
    309,508       16.94  
 
           
As of July 3, 2010, we had $3.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested restricted stock awards granted under our 2005 Plan. We expect that cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.

There were 1,293,589 and 1,463,345 weighted shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2010, respectively, that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009, there were 5,158,598 and 6,145,702 weighted shares outstanding, respectively, that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

6. Warranties
Many of our products are sold with warranty coverage for periods ranging from one year up to the patient’s lifetime. The warranty allowance is our estimate of the expected future cost of honoring current warranty obligations. Factors influencing this estimate include historical claim rates, changes in product performance or deviations in product performance against our reliability commitments, the frequency of use of a prosthetic implant by the patient, patients’ performance expectations and changes in the terms of our policies.

During the first quarter of 2010, we sold the Her Option® Global Endometrial Ablation product line for $20.5 million and used the proceeds to pay down our debt. The final sale price after adjustment based on working capital balances at the time of sale was $19.5 million. We allocated a portion of our goodwill to the sale based on the relative fair value of the Her Option® product line and our remaining business. The consideration, less goodwill,

the carrying value of tangible and intangible assets and related disposal costs resulted in a pre-tax gain of $7.7 million, which is included in “gain on sale of non-strategic assets” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As the majority of the goodwill that was allocated to the Her Option® product line had no tax basis, we recorded a $5.1 million tax provision against the gain resulting in an effective tax rate of 65.7 percent of the gain on sale of Her Option®.

During the second quarter of 2009, we purchased a license for the exclusive rights to certain patents through the year 2018 for $9.0 million, of which $7.2 million has been paid as of July 3, 2010, and the remaining $1.8 million is structured to be paid out within the next year, in quarterly intervals. All payments related to the patents are included in licenses and will be amortized over 7.7 years, which is the remaining useful life of the patents.
9. Debt
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On July 20, 2006, in conjunction with the Laserscope acquisition, our wholly-owned subsidiary, American Medical Systems, Inc. (AMS), entered into a credit and guarantee agreement (the Credit Facility) with CIT Healthcare LLC, as agent, and certain lenders from time to time party thereto. AMS and each majority-owned domestic subsidiary of AMS are parties to the Credit Facility as guarantors of all of the obligations of AMS arising under the Credit Facility. Each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100 percent owned by us and the guarantees are joint and several. The obligations of AMS and each of the guarantors arising under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest granted to the agent on substantially all of their respective assets, including a mortgage on the AMS facility in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
The six-year senior secured Credit Facility consists of (i) term loan debt and (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to $65.0 million which is available to fund ongoing working capital needs, including future capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions. As of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, there were $59.4 million and $125.3 million, respectively, of term loans outstanding under the Credit Facility.
At our option, term loans under the Credit Facility (other than swing line loans) bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or an alternative variable rate based on the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 of 1.0 percent (Federal Funds Rate) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for term loans based on LIBOR is 2.25 percent per annum, while the applicable margin for term loans based on the prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate is 1.25 percent per annum. As of July 3, 2010, all debt under the Credit Facility had a variable interest rate based on the LIBOR index. The applicable margin for loans under the revolving credit facility is determined by reference to our total leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility. In addition to initial Credit Facility fees and reimbursement of agent expenses, we are obligated to pay commitment fees on the revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

The term loans amortize 1.0 percent of the current principal balance quarterly from December 2006 through September 2011 and the remaining 95 percent will amortize December 2011 through July 2012. In addition, mandatory prepayments are due under the Credit Facility equal to (i) 50 percent of Excess Cash Flow (defined generally as net income, plus depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges including in-process research and development (IPR&D), plus decreases or minus increases in working capital, minus capital expenditures (to the extent not financed) and amortization payments with respect to the term loan, and any other indebtedness permitted under the loan documents), (ii) 100 percent of the net proceeds of any asset sale (subject to a limited reinvestment option and a $2.5 million exception), (iii) 100 percent of the net proceeds of any debt (including convertible securities) or preferred stock issuance, and (iv) 50 percent of the net proceeds of any other equity issuance. Amounts due under the Credit Facility may also be voluntarily prepaid without premium or penalty.
During the first quarter of 2010, we sold the Her Option® product line for $20.5 million and used the proceeds to pay down our debt. Amortization and other prepayments of $20.1 million and $65.8 million were made during the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, respectively. Amortization and other prepayments of $20.5 million and $29.1 million were made during the three and six months ended July 4, 2009, respectively.
The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and other limitations (subject to various carve-outs and baskets). The covenants limit: (a) the making of investments, the amount of capital expenditures, the payment of dividends and other payments with respect to capital, the disposition of material assets other than in the ordinary course of business, and mergers and acquisitions under certain conditions, (b) transactions with affiliates unless such transactions are completed in the ordinary course of business and upon fair and reasonable terms, (c) the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, and (d) substantial changes in the nature of the companies’ business. The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants which require us to maintain predetermined ratio levels related to leverage, interest coverage, fixed charges, and a limit on capital expenditures. In addition, the Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including payment and covenant defaults and material inaccuracy of representations. The Credit Facility further permits the taking of customary remedial action upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, including the acceleration of obligations then outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Fees of $10.5 million are classified as debt discount and are being accreted to amortization of financing costs using the effective interest method over a six year period. Additional debt issuance costs of approximately $2.4 million are recorded as other long term assets and are being amortized over six years using the straight-line method. Upon payment of the prepayments described above, a pro rata portion of the related fees and debt issuance costs of $0.3 million and $1.0 million was immediately charged to amortization of financing costs in three and six months ended July 3, 2010, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.5 million was immediately charged to amortization of financing costs in the three and six months ended July 4, 2009, respectively.
Amendment of Credit Facility
On August 12, 2009, we entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to our Credit Facility, which allowed us to exchange a portion of our existing convertible senior subordinated notes for new convertible senior subordinated notes as discussed below. On October 29, 2007, we entered into a First Amendment of our Credit Facility to modify certain financial covenant ratios as defined in the Credit Facility (the First Amendment). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, certain of the financial tests and covenants were amended and restated, including the interest coverage ratio, the total leverage ratio, the fixed charge coverage ratio, and the prior year maximum consolidated capital expenditures.
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2036
On June 27, 2006, we issued convertible senior subordinated notes with a stated maturity of July 1, 2036 (the 2036 Notes). The 2036 Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 3.25 percent per year, payable semiannually. The 2036 Notes are our direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, rank junior to the senior secured Credit Facility and will rank junior in right of payment to all of our future senior secured debt as provided in the indenture for the 2036 Notes. The 2036 Notes have the same rank as our convertible notes that are due in 2041, which are discussed below.

Table of Contents

In March 2009, we repurchased 2036 Notes with a principal amount of $27.3 million in exchange for a cash payment of $21.1 million. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a pre-tax gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.6 million.
On September 21, 2009, we exchanged $250.0 million in principal of the 2036 Notes for $250.0 million in principal of new convertible senior subordinated notes with a stated maturity of September 15, 2041 (the 2041 Notes). Further information on the 2041 Notes is provided following this section.
We separately account for the liability and equity components of our 2036 Notes in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible borrowing rate. The equity component of our 2036 Notes was $45.4 million as of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, and is recorded in additional paid-in capital. As of July 3, 2010, the principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount, and its net carrying amount were $62.0 million, $10.1 million and $51.9 million, respectively. The unamortized discount will be amortized over a remaining period of 3.0 years and the amortization expense is included in “amortization of financing costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of January 2, 2010, the principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount, and its net carrying amount were $62.0 million, $11.5 million and $50.5 million, respectively. The effective interest rate on the liability component was 9.5% for each of the three and six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, we recognized $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of interest expense representing the contractual interest coupon on our 2036 Notes, and $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to the discount on the liability component. During the three and six months ended July 4, 2009, we recognized $2.5 million and $5.2 million, resepectively, of interest expense representing the contractual interest coupon on our 2036 Notes, and $3.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively of amortization expense related to the discount on the liability component.
In addition to regular interest on the 2036 Notes, we will also pay contingent interest beginning July 1, 2011 at 0.25% of the average trading price of the 2036 Notes, if the average trading price for the five consecutive trading days immediately before the last trading day preceding the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 120 percent of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes.
Our 2036 Notes are convertible under the following circumstances for cash and shares of our common stock, if any, at a conversion rate of 51.5318 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2036 Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.406 per share), subject to adjustment: (1) when, during any fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five trading days immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price of a 2036 Note for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate; (3) if specified distributions to holders of our common stock occur; (4) if we call the 2036 Notes for redemption; (5) if an event or change occurs that results in conversion according to the Indenture; or (6) during the 60 days prior to, but excluding, any scheduled repurchase date or maturity date. Upon conversion, we would be required to satisfy up to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes solely in cash, with any amounts above the principal amount to be satisfied in shares of our common stock. If a holder elects to convert its 2036 Notes in connection with a designated event or change that occurs prior to July 1, 2013, we will pay, to the extent described in the Indenture, a make whole premium by increasing the conversion rate applicable to such 2036 Notes. Conversion of our 2036 Notes into common stock could result in dilution to our stockholders. From time to time, our 2036 Notes hold a fair value below their conversion rate. Any redemption due to the trading price discount, described in (2) above, would be subject to the restrictions imposed by the Credit Facility and would occur at the lower of market or conversion value, which would likely be substantially below the par value of the debt. All of the above conversion rights will be subject to certain limitations imposed by our Credit Facility.
We have the right to redeem for cash all or a portion of the 2036 Notes on or after July 6, 2011 at specified redemption prices as provided in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest. Holders of the 2036 Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2036 Notes for cash on July 1, 2013; July 1, 2016; July 1, 2021; July 1, 2026; and July 1, 2031 or in the event of a designated event or change, at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest.
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2041
On September 21, 2009, we exchanged $250.0 million in principal amount of our 2036 Notes for newly issued 2041 Notes. The 2041 Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.0 percent per year, payable semiannually. The 2041 Notes are

Table of Contents

our direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, rank junior to the senior secured Credit Facility and will rank junior in right of payment to all of our future senior debt as provided in the indenture for the 2041 Notes. The 2041 Notes have the same rank as our 2036 Notes.
Similar to our 2036 Notes, we separately account for the liability and equity components of our 2041 Notes in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible borrowing rate. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount is treated as debt discount and amortized using the effective interest method. In addition, debt issuance costs of approximately $7.7 million were allocated to the liability and equity components of the 2041 Notes. Approximately $5.3 million of the debt issuance costs were allocated to the liability component, recorded in other long-term assets, and are being amortized using the straight line method over seven years (representing the time period until the first put date under the 2041 Notes). Approximately $2.4 million of the debt issuance costs were allocated to the equity component and are treated as equity issuance costs and are not amortized.
The equity component of our 2041 Notes was $76.4 million as of July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, and is recorded in additional paid-in capital. As of July 3, 2010, the principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount, and its net carrying amount were $250.0 million, $72.6 million and $177.4 million, respectively. The unamortized discount will be amortized over a remaining period of 6.2 years and the amortization expense is included in “amortization of financing costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of January 2, 2010, the principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount, and its net carrying amount were $250.0 million, $76.7 million and $173.3 million, respectively. The effective interest rate on the liability component was 10.2% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2010. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, we recognized $2.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of interest expense representing the contractual interest coupon on our 2041 Notes, and $2.1 million and $4.1 million of amortization expense related to the discount on the liability component.
In addition to regular interest on the 2041 Notes, we will also pay contingent interest beginning September 15, 2016 at 0.75% of the average trading price of the 2041 Notes, if the average trading price for the five trading days immediately before the first trading day preceding the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 130 percent of the principal amount of the 2041 Notes.
Our 2041 Notes are convertible under the following circumstances for cash and shares of our common stock, if any, at a conversion rate of 51.5318 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2041 Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.406 per share), subject to adjustment: (1) when, during any fiscal quarter commencing after January 2, 2010 (and only during such fiscal quarter), the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on the applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2041 Notes for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate; (3) if we call the 2041 Notes for redemption; (4) if specified distributions to holders of our common stock occur; (5) if an event or change occurs that results in conversion according to the Indenture; or (6) during the 60 days prior to, but excluding, any scheduled repurchase date or maturity date. Upon conversion, we would be required to satisfy up to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2041 Notes solely in cash, with any amounts above the principal amount to be satisfied in shares of our common stock. If a holder elects to convert its 2041 Notes in connection with a designated event or change, we will pay, to the extent described in the Indenture, a make whole premium by increasing the conversion rate applicable to such 2041 Notes. Conversion of our 2041 Notes into common stock could result in dilution to our stockholders. Similar to our 2036 Notes, from time to time, our 2041 Notes may hold a fair value below their conversion rate. Any redemption due to the trading price discount, described in (2) above, would be subject to the restrictions imposed by the Credit Facility and would occur at the lower of market or conversion value, which would likely be substantially below the par value of the debt. All of the above conversion rights will be subject to certain limitations imposed by our Credit Facility.
If certain conditions are met, we will have the right to redeem for cash all or a portion of the 2041 Notes on or after September 15, 2016 at specified redemption prices as provided in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest. Holders of the 2041 Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2041 Notes for cash on September 15, 2016 or in the event of a designated event or change, at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2041 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest.

10. Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles define and establish a framework for measuring fair value and providing disclosure about fair value measurements. Furthermore, U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table summarizes our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 3, 2010 (in thousands):

  $     $ 485     $  
 
                 
Money market funds: Our money market funds are highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. These assets are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because the money market funds are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.
Available-for-sale securities: As of July 3, 2010, our available-for-sale securities included common stock of Iridex Corporation. These securities are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares owned.
Other short-term investments: Other short-term investments consist of short-term bonds. Investments for which quoted market prices are available are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For the remaining investments, which have maturities of three months or less, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value and these have been classified as Level 2.
Derivatives: The fair value of various foreign exchange forward contracts as of July 3, 2010 includes assets of $2.8 million, reported in other current assets, and liabilities of $0.5 million, reported in other accrued expenses. We measure our derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 11, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for more information regarding our derivatives.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets. We review goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or as circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, we had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition.

Fair Value of Debt
The fair value of the Convertible Notes (see Note 9, Debt) was estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Credit Facility was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on our current estimated incremental borrowing rate for a similar borrowing arrangement.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations. We use derivatives to mitigate a portion of our exposure to volatility in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with our floating rate debt. Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to manage the currency risk associated with forecasted sales to and receivables from certain subsidiaries, denominated in their local currencies. We hedge only exposures in the ordinary course of business.
We account for our derivative instruments at fair value provided we meet certain documentary and analytical requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Hedge accounting creates the potential for a Consolidated Statement of Operations match between the changes in fair values of derivatives and the changes in cost of the associated underlying transactions, in this case interest expense and translation gain or loss. Derivatives held by us are designated as hedges of specific exposures at inception, with an expectation that changes in the fair value will essentially offset the change in the underlying exposure. Discontinuance of hedge accounting is required whenever it is subsequently determined that an underlying transaction is not going to occur, with any gains or losses recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at such time, with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. Fair values of derivatives are determined based on quoted prices for similar contracts.
The interest rate swap contract outstanding at July 3, 2010 is designated as a cash flow hedge of the floating rate interest payments for a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Facility. The portion of borrowings subject to this swap contract is $30.0 million. This contract has a remaining term of two months. In addition, we have foreign currency exchange forward contract derivatives outstanding at July 3, 2010 which are designated as cash flow hedges of currency fluctuations for a portion of our forecasted sales to certain subsidiaries, denominated in Euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. These contracts have remaining terms between one and seventeen months. The notional amount of the foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $52.6 million and $48.4 million at July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively. We have also entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain inter-company receivables denominated in Euros, British pounds, Brazilian real, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. These contracts are not designated as an accounting hedge, and the notional amount of these contracts at July 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010 was $26.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively. The associated underlying transactions are expected to occur within the next month.
The effective portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap and foreign currency exchange contracts is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity, and is being recognized as an adjustment to interest expense or other (expense) income, respectively, over the same period the related expenses are recognized in earnings. Ineffectiveness would occur when changes in the market value of the hedged transactions are not completely offset by changes in the market value of the derivatives. Gains and losses on derivatives representing hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized currently in earnings when incurred. No ineffectiveness was recognized during the three or six months ended July 3, 2010 or July 4, 2009. Amounts due from counterparties (unrealized hedge gains) or owed to counterparties (unrealized hedge losses) are included in accounts receivable, net or other accrued expenses, respectively. Cash receipts or payments related to our derivatives are generally classified in the Consolidated

At July 3, 2010, approximately $2.3 million of the existing gain on the foreign exchange forward contracts designated as a cash flow hedge that are in an asset position, and approximately $0.3 million of the existing loss on the foreign exchange forward contracts designated as a cash flow hedge that are in a liability position, all of which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.
We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties on these financial instruments, and although no assurances can be given, we do not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet its obligations. The credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date. To manage credit risks, we enter into derivative instruments with high quality financial institutions, which we monitor regularly and take action where possible to mitigate risk.
Information on the location and amounts of derivative gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is presented in the table below.

12. Industry Segment Information and Foreign Operations
Since our inception, we have operated in the single industry segment of developing, manufacturing, selling and marketing medical devices.
We distribute products through our direct sales force and independent sales representatives in the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Western Europe. Additionally, we distribute products through foreign independent distributors, primarily in Europe, Asia and South America, who then sell the products to medical institutions. No customer or distributor accounted for ten percent or more of net sales during the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2010 or July 4, 2009. Foreign subsidiary sales are predominantly to customers in Western Europe, Canada, Australia and Brazil and our foreign subsidiary assets are located in the same countries.
The following table presents net sales and long-lived assets (excluding deferred taxes) by geographical territory. No individual foreign country’s net sales or long-lived assets accounted for more than ten percent of consolidated net sales or consolidated long-lived assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Any statements not of historical fact may be considered forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this item of the report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and (2) the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable and sales return obligations, inventories, long-lived assets, warranty, legal contingencies, valuation of share-based payments and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations are discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010.
Overview
We are a world leader in developing and delivering innovative medical technology solutions to physicians treating men’s and women’s pelvic health conditions, thereby recognized as a technology leader in the markets we serve. Our growth is fueled by a robust pipeline of innovative products for significant, under-penetrated markets. We have a diverse product portfolio, which treats men’s incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and treats women’s incontinence and pelvic floor prolapse. We estimate there are as many as 1.6 billion incidences of these conditions in the global markets we serve, with many people suffering from multiple conditions. Treatment options for these conditions vary considerably depending on the severity of the condition. Approximately 350 million of these men and women have conditions sufficiently severe so as to profoundly diminish their quality of life and significantly impact their relationships. Our addressable market is contained within this group of patients. Our product development and acquisition strategies have focused on expanding our product offering for surgical solutions, including less-invasive solutions for surgeons and their patients. Our primary physician customers include urologists, gynecologists, urogynecologists and colorectal surgeons.
Our net sales were $136.4 million and $271.3 million in the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2010, respectively, compared to $126.4 million and $250.0 million in the three and six months ended July 4, 2009, respectively. In the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, men’s health contributed $61.4 million and $125.8 million, or 45 percent and 46 percent of total net sales, respectively; BPH therapy contributed $29.2 million and $55.1 million, or 21 percent and 20 percent of total net sales, respectively; and women’s health contributed $44.5 million and $87.2 million, or 33 percent and 32 percent of total net sales, respectively.
We are making additional investments in support of long-term growth, to expand the market globally, and to strengthen our marketing, physician training, and regulatory functions outside the U.S. We also maintain our strong commitment to product innovation. Late in the second quarter of 2010 we launched the new GreenLight XPS (Xcelerated Performance System) Laser Therapy System, and we also received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the MoXy Liquid Cooled Fiber designed to be used with the new GreenLight XPS. In addition, in our female continence product line, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for the MiniArc® Precise Single-Incision Sling System for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). MiniArc® Precise is the next generation of the MiniArc® sling, the number one selling single-incision sling in the United States.
Our focus on managing our working capital, controlling costs, and driving operating leverage throughout our business continues to provide positive results. We generated net income of $20.6 million and $41.2 million in the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, compared to $16.9 million and $33.9 million in the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $49.9 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010, compared to $59.8 million in the six months ended July 4, 2009. We also retired $65.9 million and $56.4 million of debt in the six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively.

Based on our areas of competitive strength, our strategy is to expand the reach of our products and address unmet needs in both established and new pelvic health markets. We determined that our Ovion female sterilization assets and technology (Ovion technology) and our Her Option® global endometrial cryoablation product line did not fit our long-term strategy. During the third quarter of 2009, we sold our Ovion technology for $23.6 million (see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — No. 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets). In February of 2010, we sold the Her Option® product line for $20.5 million (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — No. 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets). We used the net proceeds from these sales to pay down our debt. The sale of these non-strategic assets will allow us to concentrate our efforts and resources on improving and expanding the global reach of our products to restore quality of life to men and women through innovative, life-changing solutions.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended July 3, 2010 to the Three Months Ended July 4, 2009
Net sales. Net sales of $136.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 represented an increase of 7.9 percent compared to $126.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. The weakening of the U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to the second quarter of 2009, increased sales approximately $0.3 million. Growth in our business continues to be driven by the success of innovative products, most recently our women’s health pelvic floor repair products, such as Elevate® anterior and Elevate® posterior, and in BPH therapy, the launch of the new GreenLight XPS (Xcelerated Performance System) laser therapy system (GreenLight XPS) late in the second quarter.
Men’s health products. Net sales of men’s health products increased 7.7 percent to $61.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $57.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in men’s health was driven by strong sales of the AMS 700® MS in our erectile restoration product line and the AMS 800® Artificial Urinary Sphincter in our male continence product line.
BPH therapy products. Net sales from BPH therapy products increased 3.9 percent to $29.2 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $28.1 million in the same period in 2009. The increase was largely driven by strong sales of our GreenLight XPS console, which was launched late in the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in sales of Greenlight® fibers, primarily in the European market.
Women’s health products. Net sales of our women’s health products increased 15.7 percent to $44.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to $38.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. We experienced strong growth in our pelvic floor repair product line driven by both Elevate® anterior and Elevate® posterior. The female continence product line contributed modest but improving sales growth, particularly in the U.S., driven by the MiniArc® Single-Incision Sling, which was partially offset by declines in certain international markets.
Uterine health products. We sold the Her Option® Global Endometrial Ablation product line on February 16, 2010 (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — No. 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets). Sales of $1.3 million in the three months ended July 3, 2010 resulted from the product supply agreement that is part of the divestiture agreement. We estimate the product supply agreement will result in approximately $0.5 to $1.0 million in sales during the second half of fiscal year 2010.
Net sales by geography and foreign exchange effects. Net sales in the United States, excluding the Her Option® product line that was sold during the first quarter of 2010, increased 10.4 percent to $95.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $86.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. Growth in domestic sales was led by our Women’s health products. International net sales increased by 6.8 percent to $39.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $37.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. International growth was led by our male continence product line.
Gross profit. Gross profit improved to 83.3 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2010, from 82.9 percent in the second quarter of 2009. We realized higher margins primarily due to the impact of ongoing manufacturing efficiencies and cost reduction programs. Future gross profit will continue to depend upon product and geographic mix, production levels, labor costs, raw material costs and our ability to manage overhead costs.
Marketing and selling. As a percentage of sales, marketing and selling expenses were consistent at 33.8 percent in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 33.9 percent in the same period in the prior year. This is the result of improved leveraging of sales expenses, offset by investments in marketing efforts to support product launches and geographic expansion.
Research and development. Research and development includes costs to develop and improve current and possible future products plus the costs for regulatory and clinical activities for these products. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales were consistent at 10.1 percent in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 10.4 percent in the same period of 2009. These ratios are in line with our long-term goal for spending on research and development of approximately ten percent of sales.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 8.7 percent in the second quarter of 2010 from 9.2 percent in the second quarter of 2009, primarily as the second quarter of 2009 included certain incremental compensation related expenses. Our objective remains to leverage general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales.
Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles as a percentage of sales decreased to 2.2 percent in the second quarter of 2010 from 2.7 percent in the second quarter of 2009. The three month period ended July 3, 2010 reflects a decrease in amortization expense over the same period of 2009 primarily due to the sale of our Ovion technology in the third quarter of 2009 and the sale of the Her Option® product line in the first quarter of 2010, as intangible assets were disposed of in these transactions, thereby reducing on-going amortization expense.

Royalty income. Our royalty income is from licensing our intellectual property. We do not directly influence sales of the products on which these royalties are based and cannot give any assurance as to future income levels. Royalty income in the second quarter of 2010 was minimal, compared to approximately $0.9 million in the same period last year due to the sale of our Ovion technology in the third quarter of 2009 and the expiration of other royalty contracts.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 from the comparable period in 2009 mainly due to the impact of debt prepayments made over the past year. Interest expense includes interest incurred on our 2036 Notes, which carry a fixed interest rate of 3.25 percent, the interest incurred on our 2041 Notes, which carry a fixed interest rate of 4.00 percent, and the interest incurred on our Credit Facility, which generally carries a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25 percent. We have an interest rate swap contract outstanding at July 3, 2010 that is designated as a cash flow hedge of the floating rate interest payments for a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Facility. At July 3, 2010, the portion of borrowings subject to this swap contract is $30.0 million, with a remaining term of two months. Including the impact of interest rate swaps, our weighted average interest rate on the credit facility was 3.0 percent and 4.4 percent for the three months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively. Average borrowings during the second quarter of 2010 on the Credit Facility were $68.6 million, compared to $214.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Average borrowings on our 2036 Notes were $62.0 million and $312 million for the three months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively. Average borrowings on our 2041 Notes, which we issued in September of 2009 in exchange for 2036 Notes, were $250.0 million for the three months ended July 3, 2010.
Amortization of financing costs. Amortization of financing costs in the second quarter of 2010 and in the second quarter of 2009 was $3.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and was comprised of the incremental non-cash interest cost of our 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes, and amortization of the costs associated with the issuance of the Credit Facility, the 2036 Notes and the 2041 Notes. The lower amortization in the second quarter of 2010 was due to the impact of prepayments made over the past year, as we recognize a pro rata portion of the related debt discount and debt issuance costs when we retire debt.
Other income. Other income decreased by $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The primary cause of the change in other income relates to the impact of our foreign currency hedge transactions and fluctuations in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar on foreign denominated inter-company receivables and payables.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 36.5 percent and 36.1 percent for the second quarter of 2010 and second quarter of 2009, respectively. The increase in the current quarter effective tax rate is primarily due to the expiration of the federal research and development credit as of December 31, 2009, partially offset by our domestic manufacturing tax incentives.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended July 3, 2010 to the Six Months Ended July 4, 2009
Net sales. Net sales in the six months ended July 3, 2010 of $271.3 million represents an increase of 8.5 percent compared to the first six months ended July 4, 2009 of $250.0 million. Growth in our business continues to be driven by the success of innovative products, particularly our Elevate® anterior and Elevate® posterior pelvic floor repair products and by the strength in our men’s health erectile restoration products, and most recently the new GreenLight XPS console launched late in the second quarter.
Men’s health products. Net sales of men’s health products increased 8.1 percent to $125.8 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $116.4 million in the first six months of 2009. This includes the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $1.5 million. Strong sales of our AMS 700® MS, in our erectile restoration product line, and AMS 800® Artificial Urinary Sphincter, in our male continence product line, led the overall growth in the men’s health products.
BPH therapy products. Net sales from BPH therapy products increased 3.0 percent to $55.1 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $53.5 million in the same period in 2009. This includes the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $0.6 million. The increase was driven by sales of our GreenLight® consoles and other laser therapy products, partially offset by a decrease in sales of GreenLight® fibers in our European markets.
Women’s health products. Net sales of our women’s health products increased 16.7 percent to $87.2 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $74.8 million in the first six months of 2009. This includes the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $0.8 million. We experienced strong growth in our pelvic floor repair product line driven both by Elevate® anterior and Elevate® posterior. In addition, the female continence

product line contributed modest sales growth in the U.S., which was partially offset by declines in certain international markets.
Uterine health products. We sold the Her Option® Global Endometrial Ablation product line on February 16, 2010 (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — No. 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets), and thus the six month period ended July 3, 2010 includes approximately six weeks of end-customer net sales of $1.2 million from that product in addition to sales of approximately $1.9 million after February 16, 2010 from the product supply agreement that is part of the divestiture agreement. We estimate the product supply agreement will result in approximately $0.5 to $1.0 million in sales during the second half of fiscal year 2010.
Net sales by geography and foreign exchange effects. Net sales in the United States, excluding the Her Option® product line that was sold during the first quarter of 2010, increased 10.6 percent to $192.1 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $173.7 million in the first six months of 2009. Growth in domestic sales was led by our women’s health products with the highest growth coming from Elevate® anterior in our pelvic floor repair product line. International net sales increased by 7.3 percent to $76.1 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $71.0 million in the first six months of 2009. International growth was led by our men’s health products with the highest growth coming from AMS 800® Artificial Urinary Sphincter in our male continence product line.
Gross profit. Gross profit improved to 83.8 percent of sales in the first six months of 2010 from 82.0 percent in the first six months of 2009. We realized higher margins through a combination of factors, primarily due to the impact of ongoing manufacturing efficiencies and cost reduction programs. Margins also increased due to improved reliability on our laser therapy products, which resulted in lower warranty and service costs. Future gross profit will continue to depend upon product and geographic mix, production levels, labor costs, raw material costs and our ability to manage overhead costs.
Marketing and selling. Marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 34.8 percent in the first six months of 2010 compared to 34.5 percent in the first six months of 2009. We have made investments in this area compared to the prior year mainly as a result of additional headcount and product evaluation expenses and marketing investments to support geographic expansion.
Research and development. Research and development includes costs to develop and improve current and possible future products plus the costs for regulatory and clinical activities for these products. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales were consistent at 10.1 percent in the first six months of 2010 compared to 10.4 percent in the same period of 2009. These ratios are in line with our long-term goal for spending on research and development of approximately ten percent of sales.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales of 9.0 percent were flat compared to the comparable prior period. The impact of incremental compensation related expenses in 2009 was offset by increased patent litigation costs in 2010, resulting in relatively consistent spending levels as a percent of revenue between years. Our objective remains to leverage general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales.
Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles includes amortization expense on our definite-lived intangible assets, consisting of patents, licenses and developed technology. Amortization of intangibles decreased as percentage of sales to 2.2 percent in the first six months of 2010 compared to 2.7 percent in the first six months of 2009. The six month period ended July 3, 2010 reflects a decrease in amortization expense over the same period of 2009 primarily due to the sale of our Ovion technology in the third quarter of 2009 and the sale of the Her Option® product line in the first quarter of 2010, as intangible assets were disposed of in these transactions, thereby reducing on-going amortization expense.
Royalty income. Our royalty income is from licensing our intellectual property. We do not directly influence sales of the products on which these royalties are based and cannot give any assurance as to future income levels. Royalty income in the first six months of 2010 decreased approximately $1.5 million compared to the first six months of 2009 due to the sale of our Ovion technology in the third quarter of 2009 and the expiration of other royalty contracts.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $2.8 million in the first six months of 2010 from the comparable period in 2009 mainly due to the impact of debt prepayments made over the past year. Interest expense includes interest incurred on our 2036 Notes, which carry a fixed interest rate of 3.25 percent, the interest incurred on our 2041 Notes, which carry a fixed interest rate of 4.00 percent, and the interest incurred on our Credit Facility, which generally carries a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25 percent. We have an interest rate swap contract outstanding at July 3, 2010 that is designated as a cash flow hedge of the floating rate interest payments for a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Facility. At July 3, 2010, the portion of borrowings subject to this swap contract is $30.0 million, with a remaining term of two months. Including the impact of interest rate swaps, our weighted

32


Table of Contents

average interest rate on the credit facility was 3.2 percent and 4.5 percent for the first six months of 2010 and the first six months of 2009, respectively. Average borrowings during the first six months of 2010 on the Credit Facility were $84.9 million, compared to $221.1 million in the first six months of 2009. Average borrowings on our 2036 Notes were $62.0 million and $322.0 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively. Average borrowings on our 2041 Notes, which we issued in September of 2009 in exchange for 2036 Notes, were $250.0 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010.
Amortization of financing costs. Amortization of financing costs in the first six months of 2010 and in the first six months of 2009 was $7.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively, and was comprised of the incremental non-cash interest cost of our 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes, and amortization of the costs associated with the issuance of the Credit Facility, the 2036 Notes and the 2041 Notes. The lower amortization in the first six months of 2010 was due to the impact of prepayments made over the past year, as we recognize a pro rata portion of the related debt discount and debt issuance costs when we retire debt.
Gain on sale of non-strategic assets. During the first quarter of 2010, we sold the Her Option® Global Endometrial Ablation product line for $20.5 million. The final sale price after adjustment based on working capital balances at the time of sale was $19.5 million. We allocated a portion of our goodwill to the sale based on the relative fair value of the Her Option® product line and our remaining business. The consideration, less goodwill, the carrying value of tangible and intangible assets and related disposal costs resulted in a pre-tax gain of $7.7 million.
Other income. Other income decreased by $1.5 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The primary cause of the change in other income relates to the impact of our foreign currency hedge transactions and fluctuations in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar on foreign denominated inter-company receivables and payables.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax expense rate was 40.0 percent and 36.3 percent for the six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the sale of the Her Option® product line in the first quarter of 2010, which had an effective tax rate of 65.7 percent on the pre-tax gain, as the majority of the goodwill allocated to the sale had no tax basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents was $23.6 million as of July 3, 2010, compared to $30.7 million as of January 2, 2010. In addition, short-term investments were $44.5 million as of July 3, 2010, compared to $19.9 million as of January 2, 2010. Short-term investments consist mostly of highly liquid money market funds that have not experienced any negative impact on liquidity or a decline in principal value. Overall, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased $17.5 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to January 2, 2010.
Cash flows from operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $49.9 million in the first six months of 2010, versus $59.8 million provided during the comparable period of 2009, which is a decrease of $9.9 million. The main driver of the decrease is related to inventory, where $4.0 million of cash was used to build inventory during the first six months of 2010 compared to cash provided by reducing inventory of $4.5 million during the comparable period of 2009; this year over year change results in a decrease of $8.5 million in cash provided related to changes in inventory. The primary reason for the $4.0 million of cash used for inventory in the first six months of 2010 is an increase in BPH therapy inventory mainly due to the build phase for the recently launched GreenLight XPS console. The remaining decrease of $1.4 million of cash provided by operating activities was a result of normal operating fluctuations in accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other operating assets.
Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $9.5 million during the first six months of 2010, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4.3 million in the first six months of 2009. Net cash provided by the sale of the Her Option® product line was $19.1 million and the proceeds were used to pay down our debt. We also increased our purchases of short-term investments during the first six months of 2010 compared to the comparable period of 2009 resulting in a balance in short-term investments of $44.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010 compared to $19.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2009.
Cash flows from financing activities. Cash used for financing activities was $47.8 million during the first six months of 2010, versus $46.0 million used in the same period of 2009. The majority of cash was used for repayment of long-term debt in both periods. Cash used for repayment of long-term debt under our Credit Facility was $65.9 million and $29.1 million for the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, we repurchased 2036 Notes with a principal amount of $27.3 million for a cash payment of $21.1 million during the first quarter of 2009. Cash received from the issuance of common stock was $17.2 million and $3.9 million during the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively, which was the result of stock option exercises and employee purchases of common stock through our employee stock purchase plan.

2036 Notes. We issued our 2036 Notes with a stated maturity of July 1, 2036 pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 27, 2006 as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated September 6, 2006 (the 2036 Notes Indenture) between us, certain of our significant domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors of the 2036 Notes, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the holders of the 2036 Notes, which specifies the terms of the 2036 Notes. The 2036 Notes bear interest at the rate of 3.25 percent per year, payable semiannually. The 2036 Notes are our direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, rank junior to our Credit Facility and will rank junior in right of payment to all of our future senior secured debt as provided in the 2036 Notes Indenture. The 2036 Notes have the same rank as our 2041 Notes.
In addition to regular interest on the 2036 Notes, we will also pay contingent interest beginning July 1, 2011 at 0.25% of the average trading price of the 2036 Notes, if the average trading price for the five consecutive trading days immediately before the last trading day preceding the relevant six-month period equals or exceeds 120 percent of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes. The 2036 Notes are convertible under certain circumstances for cash and shares of our common stock, if any, at a conversion rate of 51.5318 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2036 Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.406 per share), subject to adjustment. Upon conversion, we would be required to satisfy up to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes solely in cash, with any amounts above the principal amount to be satisfied in shares of our common stock.
If a holder elects to convert its 2036 Note in connection with a designated event or change that occurs prior to July 1, 2013, we will pay, to the extent described in the 2036 Notes Indenture, a make whole premium by increasing the conversion rate applicable to such 2036 Notes. All of the above conversion rights will be subject to certain limitations imposed by our Credit Facility.
We may also redeem the 2036 Notes on or after July 6, 2011 at specified redemption prices as provided in the 2036 Notes Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest. Holders of the 2036 Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2036 Notes for cash on July 1, 2013, July 1, 2016, July 1, 2021, July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2031 or in the event of a designated event or change, at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest.
2041 Notes. We issued our 2041 Notes with a stated maturity of September 15, 2041 pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 21, 2009 (the 2041 Notes Indenture) between us, certain of our significant domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors of the 2041 Notes, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the holders of the 2041 Notes, which specifies the terms of the 2041 Notes. The 2041 Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.00 percent per year, payable semiannually. The 2041 Notes are our direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations, rank junior to our Credit Facility and will rank junior in right of payment to all of our future senior debt as provided in the 2041 Notes Indenture. The 2041 Notes have the same rank as our 2036 Notes.
In addition to regular interest on the 2041 Notes, we will also pay contingent interest beginning September 15, 2016 at 0.75% of the average trading price of the 2041 Notes, if the average trading price for the five consecutive trading days immediately before the first day of such semiannual period equals or exceeds 130 percent of the principal amount of the 2041 Notes. The 2041 Notes are convertible under certain circumstances for cash and shares of our common stock, if any, at a conversion rate of 51.5318 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2041 Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.406 per share), subject to adjustment. Upon conversion, we would be required to satisfy up to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2041 Notes solely in cash, with any amounts above the principal amount to be satisfied in shares of our common stock.
If a holder elects to convert its 2041 Note in connection with a designated event or change, we will pay, to the extent described in the 2041 Notes Indenture, a make whole premium by increasing the conversion rate applicable to such 2041 Notes. All of the above conversion rights will be subject to certain limitations imposed by our Credit Facility.
We may also redeem the 2041 Notes on or after September 15, 2016 at specified redemption prices as provided in the 2041 Notes Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest. Holders of the 2041 Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2041 Notes for cash on September 15, 2016 or in the event of a designated event or change, at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2041 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest.
2036 Notes and 2041 Notes — Potential Dilution. Prior to conversion, our 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes (Convertible Notes) represent potentially dilutive common share equivalents that must be considered in our calculation of diluted

34


Table of Contents

earnings per share (EPS). When there is a net loss, common share equivalents are excluded from the computation because they have an anti-dilutive effect. In addition, when the conversion price of our 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes is greater than the average market price of our stock during any period, the effect would be anti-dilutive and we would exclude the 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes from the EPS computation. However, when the average market price of our stock during any period is greater than the conversion price of the 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes, the impact is dilutive and the 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes will affect the number of common share equivalents used in the diluted EPS calculation. The degree to which the 2036 Notes and 2041 Notes are dilutive increases as the market price of our stock increases.
The following table illustrates the number of common share equivalents that would potentially be included in weighted average common shares for the calculation of diluted EPS, assuming various market prices of our stock:

For the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, our Convertible Notes had a dilutive effect on our net income per share calculation and were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Credit Facility. On July 20, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary, American Medical Systems, Inc. (AMS), entered into a senior secured Credit Facility. AMS and each majority-owned domestic subsidiary of AMS are parties to the Credit Facility as guarantors of all of the obligations of AMS arising under the Credit Facility. The obligations of AMS and each of the guarantors arising under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all of their respective assets, including a mortgage on the AMS facility in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
The six-year senior secured Credit Facility consists of (i) term loan debt and (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to $65.0 million which is available to fund ongoing working capital needs, including future capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions.
Our Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and other limitations (subject to various carve-outs and baskets) regarding us, AMS, and in some cases, the subsidiaries of AMS. The covenants limit: (a) investments, capital expenditures, dividend payments, the disposition of material assets other than in the ordinary course of business, and mergers and acquisitions under certain conditions, (b) transactions with affiliates, unless such transactions are completed in the ordinary course of business and upon fair and reasonable terms, (c) liens and indebtedness, and (d) substantial changes in the nature of our business. Our Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants for secured credit facilities, consisting of maximum total and senior debt leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. These financial covenants adjust from time to time during the term of the Credit Facility. The covenants and restrictions contained in the Credit Facility could limit our ability to fund our business, make capital expenditures, and make acquisitions or other investments in the future.
On August 12, 2009, we entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to our Credit Facility, which allowed us to exchange a portion of our existing convertible senior subordinated notes for new convertible senior subordinated notes. On October 29, 2007, we entered into a First Amendment of our Credit Facility to modify certain financial covenant ratios as defined in the Credit Facility (the First Amendment). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, certain of the financial tests and covenants were amended and restated, including the interest coverage ratio, the total leverage ratio, the fixed charge coverage ratio, and the maximum consolidated capital expenditures.

As of July 3, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants as defined in our Credit Facility which are summarized as follows:
                 
Financial Covenant   Required Covenant   Actual Result
 
Total Leverage Ratio (1)
  3.00:1.00 (maximum)     2.02  
Senior Leverage Ratio (2)
  2.00:1.00 (maximum)     0.32  
Interest Coverage Ratio (3)
  4.00:1.00 (minimum)     10.95  
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (4)
  1.50:1.00 (minimum)     2.25  
Maximum Capital Expenditures (5)
  $20.0 million   $ 3.5  million
 
(1)   Total outstanding debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters.
 
(2)   Total outstanding senior secured debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters.
 
(3)   Ratio of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters to cash interest expense for such period.
 
(4)   Ratio of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters to fixed charges (cash interest expense, scheduled principal payments on debt, capital expenditures, income taxes paid, earn-out and milestone payments) for such period.
 
(5)   Limit of capital expenditures for the full year.
The ratios are based on EBITDA, on a rolling four quarters, calculated with certain adjustments (Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA). Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined in our Credit Facility as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items reducing net income including IPR&D and stock compensation charges, less other non-cash items increasing net income. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative measure of our net income, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. It is provided as additional information relative to compliance with our debt covenants.
Any failure to comply with any of these financial and other affirmative and negative covenants would constitute an event of default under the Credit Facility, entitling a majority of the bank lenders to, among other things, terminate future credit availability under the Credit Facility, increase the interest rate on outstanding debt, and accelerate the maturity of outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility.

Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. In addition, we or others on our behalf may make forward-looking statements from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone conferences and/or web casts open to the public, in press releases or reports, on our Internet web site or otherwise. All statements other than

Table of Contents

statements of historical facts included in this report or expressed by us orally from time to time that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements including, in particular, the statements about our plans, objectives, strategies, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and prospects regarding, among other things, our financial condition, results of operations and business. We have identified some of these forward-looking statements in this report with words like “believe,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other words and terms of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements may be contained in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report, including under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, certain assumptions and current expectations and factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market as well as matters specific to us. These uncertainties and factors are difficult to predict and many of them are beyond our control.
The following are some of the uncertainties and factors known to us that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what we have anticipated in our forward-looking statements: successfully competing against competitors; physician acceptance, endorsement, and use of our products; potential product recalls or technological obsolescence; health care reform legislation in the U.S.; successfully managing increased debt leverage and related credit facility financial covenants; the impact of worldwide economic conditions on our operations; the disruption in global financial markets potential impact on the ability of our counterparties to perform their obligations and our ability to obtain future financing; factors impacting the stock market and share price and its impact on the dilution of convertible securities; ability of our manufacturing facilities to meet customer demand; reliance on single or sole-sourced suppliers; loss or impairment of a principal manufacturing facility; clinical and regulatory matters; timing and success of new product introductions; patient acceptance of our products and therapies; changes in and adoption of reimbursement rates; adequate protection of our intellectual property rights; product liability claims; and currency and other economic risks inherent in selling our products internationally.
For more information regarding these and other uncertainties and factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what we have anticipated in our forward-looking statements or otherwise could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results, see our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010 under the heading “Part I — Item 1A. Risk Factors”, and “Part II — Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for our 2010 fiscal quarters.
All forward-looking statements included in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement that speaks only as of the date made and to recognize that forward-looking statements are predictions of future results, which may not occur as anticipated. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to the uncertainties and factors described above, as well as others that we may consider immaterial or do not anticipate at this time. The risks and uncertainties described above are not exclusive and further information concerning us and our business, including factors that potentially could materially affect our financial results or condition, may emerge from time to time. We assume no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. We advise you, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K we file with or furnish to the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We use derivatives to mitigate our exposure to volatility in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. We hedge only exposures in the ordinary course of business.
Interest Rates
We have interest rate risk as a result of the floating LIBOR index that is used to determine the interest rates on our Credit Facility. We use derivatives to mitigate a portion of our exposure to volatility in interest rates. The interest rate swap contract outstanding at July 3, 2010 is designated as a cash flow hedge of the floating rate interest payments for a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Facility. The portion of borrowings subject to this swap contract is $30.0 million. This contract has a remaining term of two months. Based on a sensitivity analysis, as of July 3, 2010, an instantaneous and sustained 100-basis-point increase in interest rates affecting our floating rate debt obligations, and assuming that we take no counteractive measures, would result in a decrease in income before income taxes of approximately $0.5 million over the next 12 months. The estimated impact to income takes into account the mitigating effect of the interest rate swap agreement. The notional amount of the contract amortizes over its term, and the amount of floating rate debt hedged in the future will depend on prepayments and additional contracts.
Currency
Our operations outside of the United States are maintained in their local currency, with the significant currencies consisting of Euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. All assets and liabilities of our international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and short-term inter-company receivables from foreign subsidiaries are included in other (expense) income.
During the three and six month periods ended July 3, 2010, revenues from sales to customers outside the United States were 29.0 percent and 28.1 percent of total consolidated revenues. International accounts receivable was 43.8 percent, inventory was 5.9 percent, cash and short-term investments was 18.7 percent, and accounts payable was 28.8 percent of total consolidated accounts for each of these items as of July 3, 2010. The reported results of our foreign operations will be influenced by their translation into U.S. dollars by currency movements against the U.S. dollar. The result of a uniform 10 percent strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to each of the currencies in which our revenues and expenses are denominated would have resulted in a decrease in net income of approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2010.
We have entered into various foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our forecasted sales to and receivables from certain subsidiaries. At July 3, 2010, our net investment in foreign subsidiaries translated into dollars using the period end exchange rate was $32.6 million and the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar currency exchange rate amounts to $3.3 million. Actual amounts may differ.
Credit Risk
Credit risk on financial instruments arises from the potential for counterparties to default on their obligations to us. Recent economic events, including failures of financial service companies and the related liquidity crisis, have considerably disrupted the capital and credit markets. Our credit risk consists of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, derivative instruments, lending commitments and insurance relationships in the ordinary course of business.
The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates fair value due to the relatively short periods to maturity on these instruments. Accounts receivable are primarily due from hospitals and clinics located mainly in the United States and Western Europe. Although we do not require collateral from our customers, concentrations of credit risk in the United States are mitigated by a large number of geographically dispersed customers. We do not presently anticipate losses in excess of allowances provided associated with trade receivables, although collection could be impacted by the underlying economies of the countries.
We place cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and derivative instruments with high quality financial institutions, which we monitor regularly and take action where possible to mitigate risk. We do not hold investments in auction rate securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, individual corporate bonds,

38

special investment vehicles or any other investments which have been directly impacted by the recent financial crisis. To date, all previous lending commitments remain available to us, and we have not incurred any charges specific to the increased volatility in credit markets and credit risk. Insurance programs are with carriers that remain highly rated and we have no significant pending claims. Further, we do not expect our current or future credit risk exposures to have a significant impact on our operations. However, there can be no assurance that our business will not have any adverse impact from credit risk in the future.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations in recent years and periods. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will not be adversely affected by inflation in the future.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 3, 2010.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the above-referenced evaluation by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter ended July 3, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
