CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009)
(dollars in thousands, except per share and share amounts)
(unaudited)
1. Business Overview
Company Description and Merger
     Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. was incorporated as Replidyne, Inc. in Delaware in 2000. On February 25, 2009, Replidyne, Inc. completed its reverse merger with Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., a Minnesota corporation incorporated in 1989 (“CSI-MN”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of November 3, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CSI-MN continued after the merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Replidyne. At the effective time of the merger, Replidyne, Inc. changed its name to Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (“CSI”) and CSI-MN merged with and into CSI, with CSI continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation.
     The Company develops, manufactures and markets devices for the treatment of vascular diseases. The Company’s primary products, the Diamondback 360° PAD System and the Diamondback Predator 360° PAD System, are catheter-based platforms capable of treating a broad range of plaque types in leg arteries both above and below the knee and address many of the limitations associated with existing treatment alternatives. Prior to the merger, Replidyne was a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, in-licensing and commercializing innovative anti-infective products.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
     The Company has prepared the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related unaudited financial information in the footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. The year-end consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 28, 2010. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted fair value guidance issued by the FASB, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB provided a one-year deferral on the effective date of the guidance for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at least annually.
     The fair value guidance classifies inputs into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 Inputs — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 Inputs — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets and liabilities
Level 3 Inputs — unobservable inputs
     The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that were measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010. Assets are measured on a recurring basis if they are remeasured at least annually:

     The conversion option is related to the loan and security agreement with Partners for Growth and has been included in debt conversion option and other assets on the balance sheet. The Monte Carlo option pricing model used to determine the value of the conversion option included various inputs including historical volatility, stock price simulations, and assessed behavior of the Company and Partners for Growth based on those simulations.
     As of December 31, 2010, the Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value based on interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
     The Company sells the majority of its products via direct shipment to hospitals or clinics. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are met at the time of delivery when the risk of loss and title passes to the customer. The Company records estimated sales returns, discounts and rebates as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized.
Reclassifications
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 2010 balance sheet to conform to December 31, 2010 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or equity as previously reported.
3. Selected Consolidated Financial Statement Information
Inventories
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of valuation. The establishment of inventory allowances for excess and obsolete inventories is based on estimated exposure on specific inventory items.
     At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively, inventories were comprised of the following:

Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank
     On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The agreement includes a $10,000 term loan and a $15,000 line of credit. The terms of each of these loans are as follows:
    The $10,000 term loan has a fixed interest rate of 9.0% and a final payment amount equal to 1.0% of the loan amount due at maturity. This term loan has a 36 month maturity, with repayment terms that include interest only payments during the first six months followed by 30 equal principal and interest payments. This term loan also includes an acceleration provision that requires the Company to pay the entire outstanding balance, plus a penalty ranging from 1.0% to 3.0% of the principal amount, upon prepayment or the occurrence and continuance of an event of default. In connection with entering into the agreement, the Company amended a warrant previously granted to Silicon Valley Bank. The warrants provide an option to purchase 8,493 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.48 per share. This warrant is immediately exercisable and expires ten years after the date of amendment. The balance outstanding on the term loan at December 31, 2010 was $9,064, net of the unamortized discount associated with the warrants.
 
    The $15,000 line of credit has a two year maturity and a floating interest rate equal to Silicon Valley Bank’s prime rate, plus 2.0%, with an interest rate floor of 6.0%. Interest on borrowings is due monthly and the principal balance is due at maturity. Borrowings on the line of credit are based on (a) 80% of eligible domestic receivables, plus (b) the lesser of 40% of eligible inventory or 25% of eligible domestic receivables or $2,500, minus (c) to the extent in effect, certain loan reserves as defined in the agreement. Accounts receivable receipts are deposited into a lockbox account in the name of Silicon Valley Bank. The accounts receivable line of credit is subject to non-use fees, annual fees, and cancellation fees. The agreement provides that initially 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the $10,000 term loan reduces available borrowings under the line of credit. Upon the achievement of certain financial covenants, the amount reducing available borrowings will be reduced to zero. There was not an outstanding balance on the line of credit at December 31, 2010.
     Borrowings from Silicon Valley Bank are secured by all of the Company’s assets. The borrowings are subject to prepayment penalties and financial covenants, including maintaining certain liquidity and fixed charge coverage ratios, and certain three-month EBITDA targets. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2010. The agreement also includes subjective acceleration clauses which permit Silicon Valley Bank to accelerate the due date under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, material adverse effects on the Company’s financial status or otherwise. Any non-compliance by the Company under the terms of debt arrangements could result in an event of default under the Silicon Valley Bank loan, which, if not cured, could result in the acceleration of this debt.
Loan and Security Agreement with Partners for Growth
     On April 14, 2010, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Partners for Growth III, L.P. (PFG). The agreement provides that PFG will make loans to the Company up to $4,000. The agreement has a maturity date of April 14, 2015. The loans bear interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 2.75% above Silicon Valley Bank’s prime rate, and such interest is payable monthly. The principal balance of and any accrued and unpaid interest on any notes are due on the maturity date and may not be prepaid by the Company at any time in whole or in part.
     Under the agreement, PFG provided the Company with an initial loan of $1,500 (the initial loan) on April 15, 2010. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, PFG at its option converted the entire $1,500 (at par) into 276,243 shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the conversion terms set forth in the note for the initial loan. On December 3, 2010, PFG issued the Company an additional convertible note under the agreement of $3,500 (the new loan). At any time prior to the maturity date, PFG may at its option convert any amount of the new loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at $9.66, which equaled the ten-day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of the note. The Company may also effect at any time a mandatory conversion of amounts, subject to certain terms, conditions and limitations provided in the agreement, including a requirement that the ten-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of conversion is at least 15% greater than the conversion price. The Company may reduce the conversion price to a price that represents a 15% discount to the ten-day volume weighted average price of our common stock to satisfy this condition and effect a mandatory conversion. As a result of the conversion of the initial loan and the subsequent issuance of the new loan the Company has reflected a net benefit of $376 and $476 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, in interest and other income (expense) which represents the net effect of (i)

the write-off of the conversion option on the initial loan (ii) the write-off of the unamortized debt premium on the initial loan and (iii) the change in fair value of the conversion option on the new loan.
     On January 26, 2011, the Company drew the remaining $500 available under the PFG loan agreement, at a conversion price of $12.40, which equaled the ten-day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of the note.
     The loans are secured by certain of the Company’s assets, and the agreement contains customary covenants limiting the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur debt or liens, make certain investments and loans, effect certain redemptions of and declare and pay certain dividends on its stock, permit or suffer certain change of control transactions, dispose of collateral, or change the nature of its business. In addition, the PFG loan and security agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain liquidity and fixed charge coverage ratios, and certain three-month EBITDA targets. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2010. If the Company does not comply with the various covenants, PFG may, subject to various customary cure rights, decline to provide additional loans, require amortization of the loan over its remaining term, or require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the loan and foreclose on any or all collateral, depending on which financial covenants are not maintained.
     In connection with the execution of the PFG loan and security agreement, the Company issued a warrant to PFG on April 14, 2010, which allows PFG to purchase 147,330 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $5.43, which price was based on the ten-day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock prior to the date of the agreement. The warrant became fully vested upon the issuance of the $3,500 note. The warrant expires on the fifth anniversary of the issue date, subject to earlier expiration in accordance with the terms. The balance outstanding under the loan and security agreement at December 31, 2010 was $4,329, including the net unamortized premium associated with the warrants and Company conversion option.

1991 Stock Option Plan (the “1991 Plan”) and a 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”) (the 2007 Plan, the 1991 Plan and the 2003 Plan collectively, the “Plans”). The 1991 Plan and 2003 Plan permitted the granting of incentive stock options and nonqualified options. A total of 485,250 shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance under the 1991 Plan, but with the execution of the 2003 Plan no additional options are available for grant under the 1991 Plan. A total of 2,458,600 shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance under the 2003 Plan, but with the approval of the 2007 Plan no additional options are available for grant under the 2003 Plan. The 2007 Plan originally allowed for the granting of up to 1,941,000 shares of common stock as approved by the board of directors in the form of nonqualified or incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards, performance unit awards or stock appreciation rights to officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company. The Plan was amended in February 2009 to increase the number of authorized shares to 2,509,969. The amended 2007 Plan includes a renewal provision whereby the number of shares shall automatically be increased on the first day of each fiscal year ending July 1, 2017, by the lesser of (i) 970,500 shares, (ii) 5% of the outstanding common shares on such date, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the board of directors. On July 1, 2010, the number of shares available for grant was increased by 757,427 under the 2007 Plan renewal provision. The Company also maintains the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), relating to Replidyne activity prior to the merger in February 2009. A total of 794,641 shares were originally reserved under the 2006 Plan, but effective with the merger no additional options will be granted under it.
     All options granted under the Plans become exercisable over periods established at the date of grant. The option exercise price is generally based upon the market price for the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In addition, the Company has granted nonqualified stock options to a director outside of the Plans.
     Stock option activity for the six months ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:
                 
            Weighted
    Number of   Average
    Options(a)   Exercise Price
Options outstanding at June 30, 2010
    3,356,993     $ 10.49  
Options forfeited or expired
    (89,117 )   $ 12.35  
 
               
Options outstanding at December 31, 2010
    3,267,876     $ 10.44  
 
               
 
(a)   Includes the effect of options granted, exercised, forfeited or expired from the 1991 Plan, 2003 Plan, 2007 Plan, and options granted outside the stock option plans described above.
     Options typically vest over two to three years. An employee’s unvested options are forfeited when employment is terminated; vested options must be exercised at or within 90 days of termination to avoid forfeiture. The Company determines the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods.
     The fair value of each restricted stock award is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Vesting of restricted stock awards ranges from one to three years. The estimated fair value of restricted stock awards, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the restricted stock’s vesting period. Restricted stock award activity for the six months ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:
                 
            Weighted
    Number of   Average Fair
    Shares   Value
Restricted stock awards outstanding at June 30, 2010

7. Texas Production Facility
     Effective on September 9, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the Pearland Economic Development Corporation (the “PEDC”) for the construction and lease of an approximately 46,000 square foot production facility located in Pearland, Texas. The facility will primarily serve as an additional manufacturing location for the Company.

Table of Contents

     The lease agreement provides that the PEDC will lease the facility and the land immediately surrounding the facility to the Company for an initial term of ten years, which began April 1, 2010. Monthly fixed rent payments are $35 for each of the first five years of the initial term and $38 for each of the last five years of the initial term. The Company is also responsible for paying the taxes and operating expenses related to the facility. The lease has been classified as an operating lease for financial statement purposes. Upon an event of default under the agreement, the Company will be liable for the difference between the balance of the rent owed for the remainder of the term and the fair market rental value of the leased premises for such period.
     The Company has the option to renew the lease for up to two additional periods of five years each. If the Company elects to exercise one or both of these options, the rent for such extended terms will be set at the prevailing market rental rates at such times, as determined in the agreement. After the commencement date and until shortly before the tenth anniversary of the commencement date, the Company will have the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the leased premises at fair market value, as determined in the agreement. Further, within six years of the commencement date and subject to certain conditions, the Company has options to cause the PEDC to make two additions or expansions to the facility of a minimum of 34,000 and 45,000 square feet each.
     The Company and the PEDC previously entered into a Corporate Job Creation Agreement dated June 17, 2009. The Job Creation Agreement provided the Company with $2,975 in net cash incentive funds. The Company believes it will be able to comply with the conditions specified in the grant agreement. The PEDC will provide the Company with an additional $1,700 of net cash incentive funds in the following amounts and upon achievement of the following milestones:
    $1,020, upon the hiring of the 75th full-time employee at the facility; and
 
    $680, upon the hiring of the 125th full-time employee at the facility.
     In order to retain all of the cash incentives, beginning one year and 90 days after the commencement date, the Company must not have fewer than 25 full-time employees at the facility for more than 120 consecutive days. Failure to meet this requirement will result in an obligation to make reimbursement payments to the PEDC as outlined in the agreement. The Company will not have any reimbursement requirements after 60 months from the effective date of the agreement.
     The Job Creation Agreement also provides the Company with a net $1,275 award, of which $510 will be funded by a grant from the State of Texas for which the Company has applied through the Texas Enterprise Fund program. As of December 31, 2010, $340 has been received and the remaining $170 will be provided upon the hiring of the 55th full-time employee at the facility. The PEDC has committed, by resolution, to guarantee the award and will make payment to the Company for the remaining $765. As of December 31, 2010, $255 has been received. The grant from the State of Texas is subject to reimbursement if the Company fails to meet certain job creation targets through 2014 and maintain these positions through 2020.
     The Company has presented the net cash incentive funds as a current and long-term liability on the balance sheet. The liabilities will be reduced over a 60 month period and recorded as an offset to expenditures incurred using a systematic methodology that is intended to reduce the majority of the liabilities in the first 24 months of the agreement. As of December 31, 2010, $918 in expenses has reduced the deferred grant incentive liabilities, resulting in a remaining current liability of $1,252 and long-term liability of $1,911.
8. Commitment and Contingencies
ev3 Legal Proceedings
     The Company was a party to a legal proceeding with ev3 Inc., ev3 Endovascular, Inc. and FoxHollow Technologies, Inc., together referred to as the Plaintiffs, which filed a complaint on December 28, 2007 in the Ramsey County District Court for the State of Minnesota against the Company and former employees of FoxHollow currently employed by the Company, which complaint was subsequently amended.
     On October 27, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Plaintiffs. The agreement dismisses all claims and counterclaims in the legal proceeding between the two parties, with neither party admitting any liability or wrongdoing. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid ev3 $1,000, in the form of $750 cash and a $250 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 3.5% per annum, with principal and cumulative interest due and payable on or before January 1, 2014. The Company has received insurance proceeds of $500 related to the settlement, and has recorded a net expense of $500 in selling, general, and administrative expenses related to the settlement during the six months ended December 31, 2010. In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company received an additional $250 of insurance proceeds related to the reimbursement of

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes appearing under Item 1 of Part 1. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this quarterly report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and expected financial results, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
OVERVIEW
     We are a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing interventional treatment systems for vascular disease. Our primary products, the Diamondback 360° PAD System (the “Diamondback 360°”) and the Diamondback Predator 360° (the “Predator 360°”), are catheter-based platforms capable of treating a broad range of plaque types in leg arteries both above and below the knee and address many of the limitations associated with existing treatment alternatives. We also are pursuing approval of our products for coronary use. We refer to the Diamondback 360° and the Predator 360° collectively in this report as the “Diamondback Systems.”
     We were incorporated as Replidyne, Inc. in Delaware in 2000. On February 25, 2009, Replidyne, Inc. completed its business combination with Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“CSI-MN”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of November 3, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CSI-MN continued after the merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Replidyne. Replidyne changed its name to Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (“CSI”) and CSI-MN merged with and into CSI, with CSI continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation. These transactions are referred to herein as the “merger.” Replidyne was a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, in-licensing and commercializing anti-infective products.
     At the closing of the merger, Replidyne’s net assets, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, were approximately $36.6 million as adjusted. As of immediately following the effective time of the merger, former CSI stockholders owned approximately 80.2% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company, and Replidyne stockholders owned approximately 19.8% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company.
     CSI was incorporated in Minnesota in 1989. From 1989 to 1997, we engaged in research and development on several different product concepts that were later abandoned. Since 1997, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the development of the Diamondback Systems.
     From 2003 to 2005, we conducted numerous bench and animal tests in preparation for application submissions to the FDA. We initially focused our testing on providing a solution for coronary in-stent restenosis, but later changed the focus to PAD. In 2006, we obtained an investigational device exemption from the FDA to conduct our pivotal OASIS clinical trial, which was completed in January 2007. The OASIS clinical trial was a prospective 20-center study that involved 124 patients with 201 lesions.
     In August 2007, the FDA granted us 510(k) clearance for the use of the Diamondback 360° as a therapy in patients with PAD. We commenced commercial introduction of the Diamondback 360° in the United States in September 2007. We were granted 510(k) clearance of the Predator 360° in March 2009. We market the Diamondback Systems in the United States through a direct sales force and expend significant capital on our sales and marketing efforts to expand our customer base and utilization per customer. We assemble at our facilities the single-use catheter used in the Diamondback Systems with components purchased from third-party suppliers, as well as with components manufactured in-house. A control unit and guidewires are purchased from third-party suppliers.
     As of December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $157.6 million. We expect our losses to continue but generally decline as revenue grows from continued commercialization activities, development of additional product enhancements, accumulation of clinical data on our products, and further regulatory approvals. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the private placement of equity securities, debt financing, and completion of the merger.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

13


Table of Contents

     Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect amounts reported in those statements. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventory, investments, convertible debt, and stock-based compensation are updated as appropriate at least quarterly. We use authoritative pronouncements, our technical accounting knowledge, cumulative business experience, judgment and other factors in the selection and application of our accounting policies. While we believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments that we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements are appropriate, these estimates, assumptions and judgments are subject to factors and uncertainties regarding their outcome. Therefore, actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
     Some of our significant accounting policies require us to make subjective or complex judgments or estimates. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical if it meets both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made, and (2) different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 with Three Months Ended December 31, 2009
     Revenues. Revenues increased by $3.7 million, or 24.2%, from $15.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $18.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This increase was attributable to a $3.1 million, or 22.9%, increase in sales of Diamondback Systems as a result of an increased customer base; and a $600,000, or 34.3%, increase in sales of supplemental products and other revenue as a result of new products and an increased customer base. Supplemental products include our Viper product line and distribution partner products. Currently, all of our revenues are in the United States; however, we may potentially sell internationally in the future. We expect our revenue to increase as we continue to increase the number of physicians using the devices, increase the usage per physician, introduce new and improved products, and generate clinical data.
     Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $457,000, or 13.0%, from $3.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Cost of goods sold represents the cost of materials, labor and overhead for single-use catheters, guidewires, control units, and other ancillary products. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold improved from 23.3% during the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 21.2% during the three months ended December 31, 2010 as a result of manufacturing efficiencies and product cost reductions. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes $91,000 and $148,000, respectively, for stock-based compensation. We expect that the gross margin will stay fairly consistent in the future as sales volumes increase, although quarterly fluctuations could occur based on timing of new product introductions, sales mix, pricing changes, or other unanticipated circumstances.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 7.7%, from $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $14.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The primary reason for the decrease was reduced selling expenses due to operating efficiencies and effective cost management .

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for stock-based compensation. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the future due primarily to the costs associated with expanding our sales and marketing organization to further commercialize our products, but at a rate less than revenue growth.
     Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $67,000, or 3.1%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Research and development expenses relate to specific projects to improve our product or expand into new markets, such as the development of new versions of the Diamondback Systems, shaft designs, crown designs, and clinical trials. The reduction in these expenses was primarily due to receipt of a $488,000 grant from the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project program of the Internal Revenue Service; however, its favorable effect was partially offset by higher product development expenses .Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes $346,000 and $295,000, respectively, for stock-based compensation. As we continue to expand our product portfolio within the market for the treatment of peripheral arteries and leverage our core technology into the coronary market, we generally expect to incur research and development expenses in future quarters at amounts similar to the average quarterly rate for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Fluctuations could occur based on the number of projects and studies and the timing of expenditures.
     Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense), net increased by $301,000, from expense of $(274,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to income of $27,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The primary reasons for the increase included $376,000 related to a net adjustment associated with the outstanding convertible debt and the conversion of the $1.5 PFG million loan, as well as a $85,000 decrease in interest income as a result of the auction rate securities being redeemed by the issuers or repurchased by UBS AG at par value on or prior to June 30, 2010.
Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 2010 with Six months Ended December 31, 2009
     Revenues. Revenues increased by $6.6 million, or 21.9%, from $30.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $36.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This increase was attributable to a $5.5 million, or 20.3%, increase in sales of Diamondback Systems as a result of an increased customer base; and a $1.1 million, or 34.6%, increase in sales of supplemental products and other revenue as a result of new products and an increased customer base. Supplemental products include our Viper product line and distribution partner products.
     Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $1.1 million, or 15.9%, from $7.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $8.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Cost of goods sold represents the cost of materials, labor and overhead for single-use catheters, guidewires, control units, and other ancillary products. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold improved from 23.1% during the six months ended December 31, 2009 to 22.0% during the six months ended December 31, 2010 as a result of manufacturing efficiencies and product cost reductions. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes $368,000 and $277,000, respectively, for stock-based compensation.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $586,000, or 1.9%, from $30.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $30.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The primary reason for the decrease was reduced selling expenses due to operating efficiencies and effective cost management. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes $2.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for stock-based compensation.
     Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $426,000, or 8.6%, from $5.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $4.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Research and development expenses relate to specific projects to improve our product or expand into new markets, such as the development of new versions of the Diamondback Systems, shaft designs, crown designs, and clinical trials. The reduction in these expenses was primarily due to receipt of a $488,000 grant from the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project program of the Internal Revenue Service. Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes $661,000 and $576,000, respectively, for stock-based compensation.
     Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense), net increased by $200,000, from expense of $(547,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to expense of $(347,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The primary reasons for the increase included $476,000 related to a net adjustment associated with the outstanding convertible debt and the

     The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA of $6.2 million, or 78.7%, is primarily the result of improvement in the loss from operations. The loss from operations was significantly impacted by increases in revenue and gross margin, and a decrease in operating expenses, as discussed above.
Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used and Usefulness of Such Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors
     We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance and believe this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by factoring out potential differences caused by depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze the underlying trends in our business, assess the performance of our core operations, establish operational goals and forecasts that are used to allocate resources and evaluate our performance period over period and in relation to our competitors’ operating results. Additionally, our management is partially evaluated on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA when determining achievement of their incentive compensation performance targets.
     We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides investors greater transparency to the information used by our management for its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see our results “through the eyes” of management. We also believe that providing this information better enables our investors to understand our operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by our management to evaluate and measure such performance. A form of Adjusted EBITDA is also used to measure performance in our financial covenants as required by Silicon Valley Bank and Partners for Growth.
     The following is an explanation of each of the items that management excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and the reasons for excluding each of these individual items:
  Stock-based compensation. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such expense, while constituting an ongoing and recurring expense, is not an expense that requires cash settlement. Our management also believes that excluding this item from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors to understand its impact on our operational performance, liquidity and ability to make additional investments in the company, and it allows for greater transparency to certain line items in our financial statements.
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense. We exclude depreciation and amortization expense from our non-GAAP financial measures primarily because such expenses, while constituting ongoing and recurring expenses, are not expenses that require cash settlement and are not used by our management to assess the core profitability of our business operations. Our management also believes that excluding these items from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors to understand our operational performance, liquidity and ability to make additional investments in the company.
Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Manner in which We Compensate for these Limitations

16


Table of Contents

     Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations associated with our use of these non-GAAP financial measures are:
  Items such as stock-based compensation do not directly affect our cash flow position; however, such items reflect economic costs to us and are not reflected in our Adjusted EBITDA and therefore these non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic effect of these items.
 
  Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
 
  Our management exercises judgment in determining which types of charges or other items should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures we use.
     We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily upon our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     We had cash and cash equivalents of $22.5 million and $23.7 million at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in operations amounted to $3.5 million. As of December 31, 2010, we have an accumulated deficit of $157.6 million. We have historically funded our operating losses primarily from the issuance of common and preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, and debt.
     Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank
     On March 29, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The agreement includes a $10.0 million term loan and a $15.0 million line of credit. The terms of each of these loans are as follows:
    The $10.0 million term loan has a fixed interest rate of 9.0% and a final payment amount equal to 1.0% of the loan amount due at maturity. This term loan has a 36 month maturity, with repayment terms that include interest only payments during the first six months followed by 30 equal principal and interest payments. This term loan also includes an acceleration provision that requires us to pay the entire outstanding balance, plus a penalty ranging from 1.0% to 3.0% of the principal amount, upon prepayment or the occurrence and continuance of an event of default. In connection with entering into the agreement, we amended a warrant previously granted to Silicon Valley Bank. The warrant provides an option to purchase 8,493 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.48 per share. This warrant is immediately exercisable and expires ten years after the date of the amendment. The balance outstanding on the term loan at December 31, 2010 was $9.1 million, net of the unamortized discount associated with the warrants.
 
    The $15.0 million line of credit has a two year maturity and a floating interest rate equal to Silicon Valley Bank’s prime rate, plus 2.0%, with an interest rate floor of 6.0%. Interest on borrowings is due monthly and the principal balance is due at maturity. Borrowings on the line of credit are based on (a) 80% of eligible domestic receivables, plus (b) the lesser of 40% of eligible inventory or 25% of eligible domestic receivables or $2.5 million, minus (c) to the extent in effect, certain loan reserves as defined in the agreement. Accounts receivable receipts are deposited into a lockbox account in the name of Silicon Valley Bank. The accounts receivable line of credit is subject to non-use fees, annual fees, and cancellation fees. The agreement provides that initially 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the $10.0 million term loan reduces available borrowings under the line of credit. Upon the achievement of certain financial covenants, the amount reducing available borrowings will be reduced to zero. There was not an outstanding balance on the line of credit at December 31, 2010.
     Borrowings from Silicon Valley Bank are secured by all of our assets. The borrowings are subject to prepayment penalties and financial covenants, including maintaining certain liquidity and fixed charge coverage ratios and certain three-month EBITDA targets. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2010. The agreement also includes subjective acceleration

17

clauses which permit Silicon Valley Bank to accelerate the due date under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, material adverse effects on our financial status or otherwise. Any non-compliance by us under the terms of our debt arrangements could result in an event of default under the Silicon Valley Bank loan, which, if not cured, could result in the acceleration of this debt.
     Loan and Security Agreement with Partners for Growth
     On April 14, 2010, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Partners for Growth III, L.P. (PFG). The agreement provides that PFG will make loans to us up to $4.0 million. The agreement has a maturity date of April 14, 2015. The loans bear interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 2.75% above Silicon Valley Bank’s prime rate, and such interest is payable monthly. The principal balance of and any accrued and unpaid interest on any notes are due on the maturity date and may not be prepaid by us at any time in whole or in part.
     Under the agreement, PFG provided us with an initial loan of $1.5 million (the initial loan) on April 15, 2010. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, PFG at its option converted the entire $1.5 million (at par) into 276,243 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion terms set forth in the note for the initial loan. On December 3, 2010, PFG issued to us an additional convertible note under the agreement of $3.5 million (the new loan). At any time prior to the maturity date, PFG may at its option convert any amount of the new loan into shares of our common stock at $9.66, which equaled the ten-day volume weighted average price per share of our common stock prior to the date of the note. We may also effect at any time a mandatory conversion of amounts, subject to certain terms, conditions and limitations provided in the agreement, including a requirement that the ten-day volume weighted average price of our common stock prior to the date of conversion is at least 15% greater than the conversion price. We may reduce the conversion price to a price that represents a 15% discount to the ten-day volume weighted average price of our common stock to satisfy this condition and effect a mandatory conversion. As a result of the conversion of the initial loan and the subsequent issuance of the new loan, we have reflected a net benefit of $371,000 and $364,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, in interest and other income (expense) which represents (i) the write-off of the conversion option on the initial loan (ii) the write-off of the unamortized debt premium on the initial loan and (iii) the change in fair value of the conversion option on the new loan.
     On January 26, 2011, we drew the remaining $500,000 available under the PFG loan agreement, at a conversion price of $12.40,which equaled the ten-day volume weighted average price per share of our common stock prior to the date of the note.
     The loans are secured by certain of our assets, and the agreement contains customary covenants limiting our ability to, among other things, incur debt or liens, make certain investments and loans, effect certain redemptions of and declare and pay certain dividends on our stock, permit or suffer certain change of control transactions, dispose of collateral, or change the nature of our business. In addition, the PFG loan and security agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain liquidity and fixed charge coverage ratios, and certain three-month EBITDA targets. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2010. If we do not comply with the various covenants, PFG may, subject to various customary cure rights, decline to provide additional loans, require amortization of the loan over its remaining term, or require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the loan and foreclose on any or all collateral, depending on which financial covenants are not maintained.
     In connection with the execution of the PFG loan and security agreement, we issued a warrant to PFG on April 14, 2010, which allows PFG to purchase 147,330 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $5.43, which price was based on the ten-day volume weighted average price per share of our common stock prior to the date of the agreement. The warrant became fully vested upon the issuance of the $3.5 million note. The warrant expires on the fifth anniversary of the issue date, subject to earlier expiration in accordance with the terms. The balance outstanding under the loan and security agreement at December 31, 2010 was $4.3 million, including the unamortized premium associated with the warrants and our conversion option.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents was $22.5 million at December 31, 2010 and $23.7 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to net cash used in operating activities and investing activities, partially offset by proceeds from long-term debt during the six months ended December 31, 2010.
     Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities improved 59.7% to $3.5 million from $8.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and, 2009, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had a net loss of $6.3 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Changes in working capital accounts reduced operating cash flow in both periods. Significant changes in working capital during these periods included:
    Cash (used in) accounts receivable of $(1.3) million and $(429,000) during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, cash (used in) accounts receivable was primarily due to timing and

Table of Contents

      growth of revenue, and a receivable of $510,000 representing additional grants for the Texas facility. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, cash used in accounts receivable was due to lower revenues and timing of shipments.
    Cash (used in) inventories of $(2,000) and $(679,000) during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For both periods, cash (used in) inventories were primarily due to the timing of inventory purchases and sales.
 
    Cash provided by (used in) prepaid expenses and other current assets of $86,000 and $(135,000) during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For both periods, cash provided by (used in) prepaid expenses and other current assets was primarily due to payment timing of vendor deposits and other expenditures.
 
    Cash provided by (used in) accounts payable of $761,000 and $(1.7) million during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For both periods, cash provided by (used in) accounts payable was due to timing of purchases and vendor payments.
 
    Cash (used in) provided by accrued expenses and other liabilities of $(721,000) and $2.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, cash provided by accrued expenses and other liabilities was primarily due to timing of payments. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, cash provided by accrued expenses and other liabilities was primarily due to receipt of $3.0 million in net cash under an agreement to establish a manufacturing facility in Texas.
     Investing Activities. Net cash (used in) investing activities was $(991,000) and $(360,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For both periods cash (used in) investing activities related to the purchase of property and equipment and patents. Purchases of property and equipment and patents used cash of $(991,000) and $(610,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in cash used for property and equipment was primarily related to capital investment in our manufacturing facility in Texas. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, we also sold investments in the amount of $250,000.
     Financing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $3.3 million and $(876,000) in the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31,2009, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during this period included:
    Proceeds from purchases under our employee stock purchase plan of $365,000 and $702,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $285,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2009.
 
    Proceeds from long-term debt of $3.5 million during the six months ending December 31, 2010.
Cash (used in) financing activities in these periods included:
    Payments on long-term debt of $(597,000) and $(1.9) million during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     Our future liquidity and capital requirements will be influenced by numerous factors, including the extent and duration of future operating losses, the level and timing of future sales and expenditures, the results and scope of ongoing research and product development programs, working capital required to support our sales growth, the receipt of and time required to obtain regulatory clearances and approvals, our sales and marketing programs, the continuing acceptance of our products in the marketplace, competing technologies, and market and regulatory developments. As of December 31, 2010, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents and available debt will be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and operations for at least the next 12 months. We intend to retain any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business and operating results during the periods presented.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk or availability. To achieve these objectives, our investment policy allows us to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of marketable securities, including money market funds, U.S. government securities, and certain bank obligations. Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 include liquid money market accounts. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that there is no material exposure to interest rate risk.
