Revenue Recognition
|
In the United States the Company sells its products and services directly to hospitals and clinics. Revenue is recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in ASC 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition, which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue as products are shipped and title passes to customers based on FOB shipping point terms. The Company negotiates credit terms on a customer-by-customer basis and products are shipped at an agreed-upon price. All product returns must be pre-approved and, if approved, customers are subject to a 20% restocking charge.
VASCULAR SOLUTIONS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – Continued
In all international markets, the Company sells its products to international distributors which subsequently resell the products to hospitals and clinics. The Company has agreements with each of its distributors which provide that title and risk of loss pass to the distributor upon shipment of the products to the distributor. The Company warrants that its products are free from manufacturing defects at the time of shipment to the distributor. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products to distributors following the receipt and acceptance of a distributor’s purchase order. Allowances are provided for estimated returns and warranty costs at the time of shipment.
The Company also generates revenues from license agreements and recognizes the revenue when earned. In accordance with ASC 605, for revenues which contain multiple deliverables, the Company separates the deliverables into separate accounting units if they meet the following criteria: (i) the delivered items have a stand-alone value to the customer; (ii) the fair value of any undelivered items can be reliably determined; and (iii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return, delivery of the undelivered items is probable and substantially controlled by the seller. Deliverables that do not meet these criteria are combined with one or more other deliverables into one accounting unit. Revenue from each accounting unit is recognized based on the applicable accounting literature, primarily ASC 605.
Starting in January 2012, the Company began to generate revenue from selling a reprocessing service for ClosureFast® radiofrequency catheters. In accordance with ASC 605-45, the Company recognizes this revenue gross, with the amount paid to the supplier of the reprocessing service reflected as cost of sales.
In accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the Company includes shipping and handling revenues in net revenue, and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act were enacted into law in the U.S. in 2010. The legislation imposed a 2.3 percent excise tax on medical device manufacturers on the U.S. sales of Class I, II and III medical devices beginning January 1, 2013. The Company has recorded this tax expense as a separate line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has not invoiced its customers for this tax as a separate charge, and the tax is not included as an element of revenue.

Credit Risk and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
|
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. This allowance is regularly evaluated by the Company for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the customer base, age of the receivable balances, both individually and in the aggregate, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. Receivables are written off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and the specific circumstances of the customer. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $145,000 and $130,000, respectively.
All product returns must be pre-approved and, if approved, customers are subject to a 20% restocking charge. The Company analyzes the rate of historical returns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for sales returns, which is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts on our balance sheet. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the sales and return allowance was $60,000 and $55,000, respectively.
Accounts receivable are shown net of the combined total of the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for sales returns of $205,000 and $185,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

|
Concentrations of Credit and Other Risks
|
In the United States the Company sells its products and services directly to hospitals and clinics. In all international markets, the Company sells its products to distributors who, in turn, sell to hospitals and clinics.
With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. No single customer represented greater than 10% of gross accounts receivable as of either March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. There have been no material losses on customer receivables.
Revenue by geographic destination as a percentage of total net revenue for both of the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 84% in the United States and 16% in international markets. No single customer represented greater than 10% of the total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Dependence on Key Suppliers
|
The Company purchases certain key components from single-source suppliers. Any significant component delay or interruption could require the Company to qualify new sources of supply, if available, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
King Pharmaceuticals
The Company purchases its requirements for thrombin (a component in the Hemostat products) under a Thrombin-JMI® Supply Agreement entered into with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“King”) on January 9, 2007. King was acquired by Pfizer, Inc. on February 28, 2011. Under the terms of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement, King agrees to manufacture and supply thrombin to the Company on a non-exclusive basis. The Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement does not contain any minimum purchase requirements. King agrees to supply the Company with such quantity of thrombin as the Company may order at a fixed price throughout the term of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement as adjusted for inflation, variations in potency and other factors. The Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement has an initial term of 10 years, followed by successive automatic one-year extensions, subject to termination by the parties under certain circumstances, including: (i) termination by King without cause any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement upon five years prior written notice to the Company, and (ii) termination by the Company without cause any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of the Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement upon five years prior written notice to King provided that the Device Supply Agreement, which the Company also entered into with King on January 9, 2007, has expired on its terms or the parties have agreed to terminate it.

Commitments and Contingencies

Terumo Medical Corporation Litigation
On February 14, 2013, Terumo Corporation and Terumo Medical Corporation (Terumo) filed a Complaint for Patent and Trademark Infringement against the Company and Lepu Medical Technology (Beijing) Co. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges that the R-BandTM radial compression device distributed by the Company and manufactured by Lepu Medical Technology infringes a Terumo patent. Terumo also alleges that the Company’s use of the product name R-Band infringes trademark rights it claims in its product name TR-BandTM. Terumo’s Complaint seeks unspecified damages and an injunction against further sales of the R-Band product. On March 1, 2013, Terumo filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction against the Company’s sales of the R-Band device during the pendency of the lawsuit. The Court has scheduled a hearing on that motion for May 9, 2013.

Governmental Proceedings
On June 28, 2011, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requesting the production of documents related to the Company’s Vari-Lase products, and in particular the use of the Vari-Lase® Short Kit for the treatment of perforator veins. The Vari-Lase Short Kit has been sold under a 510(k) clearance for the treatment of incompetence and reflux of superficial veins in the lower extremity since 2007 with total U.S. sales through March 31, 2013 of approximately $446,000 (0.1% of the Company’s total U.S. sales for such period) and has not been the subject of any reported serious adverse clinical event. On August 14, 2012, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas unsealed a qui tam complaint that had been filed on November 19, 2010 by Desalle Bui, a former sales employee of the Company, which is the basis for the U.S. Attorney’s civil investigation, to which the federal government, after three extensions of time, has elected to intervene, and its parallel criminal investigation. The complaint contains allegations of off-label promotion of Vari-Lase products for the treatment of perforator veins, re-use of single-use Vari-Lase products and Company-provided kickbacks to physicians, resulting in alleged damages to the government of approximately $20 million. An amended complaint limited to allegations of off-label promotion of the Vari-Lase Short Kit resulting in an unspecified amount of damages and penalties was filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in December 2012. On January 31, 2013, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The motion to dismiss was denied on March 6, 2013. The Company believes the allegations are factually inaccurate and without merit, and therefore the Company intends to both fully comply with the U.S. Attorney’s civil and criminal investigations and defend the litigation.
From time to time, the Company is involved in additional legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. As of the date of this report the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding not described in this section in which an adverse outcome would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
King Agreements
On January 9, 2007, the Company entered into three separate agreements with King: a License Agreement, a Device Supply Agreement and a Thrombin-JMI Supply Agreement (See Note 8). King was acquired by Pfizer, Inc. on February 28, 2011. Under the License Agreement, the Company licensed the exclusive rights to the Company’s products Thrombi-Pad®, Thrombi-Gel® and Thrombi-Paste® to King in exchange for a one-time license fee of $6,000,000. Under the Device Supply Agreement, the Company agreed to manufacture the licensed products for sale to King in exchange for two separate $1,000,000 milestone payments; one upon the first commercial sale of Thrombi-Gel (which was received on May 31, 2007), and one upon the first commercial sale of Thrombi-Paste (which has not been received and is not expected to be received). On July 6, 2011, King notified the Company that King was terminating the development of the Thrombi-Paste products and terminating efforts to obtain the surgical indication for the Thrombi-Gel products. As a result of King making the decision to not proceed, the Company recognized revenue of $2,762,000 in the third quarter of 2011 as the remaining deferred license revenue originally allocated to the Thrombi-Paste products and the surgical indication of the Thrombi-Gel products as part of the King agreements. Amortization of the deferred revenue will be $51,000 per quarter for the remainder of the 10-year license period, reflecting the remaining amortization allocated to the topical use indication of the Thrombi-Gel and Thrombi-Pad® products. The unamortized license fee was $764,000 and $815,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The amortization of license fee was $51,000 for both of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Nicolai GmbH Agreement
Effective April 1, 2008 the Company entered into a five-year distribution agreement with Nicolai GmbH. As a result of entering into this distribution agreement, the Company no longer maintains a direct sales force in Germany. In connection with this distribution agreement, the Company received 500,000 Euros from Nicolai GmbH, which was deferred and was being recognized ratably over the five-year term of the distribution agreement.
VASCULAR SOLUTIONS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – Continued
The agreement included provisions requiring the Company to pay Nicolai GmbH specific amounts if the Company terminated the distribution agreement prior to the end of the five-year term. The Company did not terminate the distribution agreement prior to the termination date. The unamortized license fee was $-0- and $36,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The amortization of license fee was $36,000 for both of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Radius Medical Technologies, Inc. Contingent Consideration
On October 20, 2010, the Company acquired the assets related to the snare and retrieval product line business from Radius Medical Technologies, Inc. and Radius Medical, LLC (collectively, “Radius”). Under the terms of the agreement the Company paid Radius a total of $6,449,000, consisting of $5,000,000 paid in cash at October 20, 2010 and $1,449,000 which was paid on June 9, 2011 upon the successful completion of the transfer of the manufacturing processes from Radius to the Company along with all fixed assets and inventory. In addition, Radius is entitled to receive an annual cash contingent consideration payment based on 25% of the net sales of the acquired products which exceed $2.0 million, $2.5 million, and $3.0 million for the calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The range of possible contingent consideration payments is from $-0- if no sales are made in excess of the thresholds, to an undeterminable amount as the agreement does not contain a cap on the payment amounts. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, a reduction of $136,000, $96,000 and $586,000 in the liability amount was recorded at December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, and recognized as a gain in operating expenses within the general and administrative expenses. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded a liability for these contingent consideration payments in the amount of $79,000.

Lines of Credit
|
On December 6, 2012 the Company modified and extended its secured asset-based revolving credit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association dated December 21, 2009 (as amended on December 20, 2011 and December 20, 2010). The revolving credit agreement is a one-year, $10,000,000 facility with availability based primarily on eligible customer receivables, inventory and property and equipment. The revolving credit agreement bears interest equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.60% and is secured by a first security interest on all of the Company’s assets. The revolving credit agreement requires a quarterly payment based on an annual fee of 0.125% of the average unused portion of the committed revolving line as determined by the bank and reviewed by management.
The revolving credit agreement includes one covenant that the Company cannot have a maximum cash flow leverage ratio greater than 2.5 to 1. The calculation of this covenant is determined by multiplying annual lease expense times six and adding any loans, then dividing this amount by the sum of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and annual operating lease payments. The covenant is computed quarterly based on a rolling 12-month period. The Company was in compliance with the covenant as of March 31, 2013.
As of and through-out the quarter-ended March 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding balance against the revolving credit agreement. Based on the Company’s eligible customer receivables, inventory, property and equipment and cash balances, $10,000,000 was available for borrowing as of March 31, 2013.

Income Taxes
|
The Company is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions and at various rates and the use of estimates is required in determining the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a provision for taxes of $763,000 and $1,220,000 on earnings before tax of $2,888,000 and $3,129,000, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 26% and 39%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate of 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 34% was due mainly to the impact of recognizing $300,000 of research and development credits in the first quarter of 2013 that had been deferred from 2012 pending Congressional action which was completed in January 2013.
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable earnings. The Company considers projected future taxable earnings and ongoing tax planning strategies, then records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred taxes to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company applies ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions recognized in the financial statements. These provisions create a single model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarify the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of $1,074,000 as of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The impact of tax related interest and penalties is recorded as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has recorded $-0- for the payment of tax related interest and there were no tax penalties or interest recognized in the statements of operations.
The Company is subject to income tax examinations in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, as well as in the Republic of Ireland and various state jurisdictions. Remaining open tax years at March 31, 2013 are 2009 through 2012.

Executive Level Overview
Vascular Solutions, Inc. (we, us or Vascular) is focused on bringing clinically advanced solutions to interventional cardiologists and interventional radiologists worldwide. As a vertically-integrated medical device company, we generate ideas, create new minimally invasive medical devices, and then deliver these products and related services to physicians through our direct domestic sales force and our international distribution network. We continue to develop new products and new applications for our existing products.
During the past few years, the number of catheterization procedures performed worldwide has been declining gradually due to a number of factors – among them, the effects of weak economies on overall health care utilization rates, efforts by third-party payers to lower costs associated with medical procedures, investigations by government agencies into potential over-utilization of procedures, the implementation by hospitals of policies designed to reduce the incidence of unnecessary procedures in the wake of these outside investigations, and new diagnostic imaging and functional assessment modalities that more effectively screen patients to determine the need for treatment. Although worldwide demographic factors, including the growing incidence of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, seem to favor long-term growth in the number of interventional procedures, we believe these recent pressures on utilization rates are likely to result in relatively flat catheterization volumes for the foreseeable future. We intend to remain competitive in this market through the continued introduction of new products and services. We expect to originate these new products and services primarily through our internal research and development and clinical efforts, but we may supplement them with targeted acquisitions or other external collaborations. Additionally, our growth has been, and will continue to be, impacted by our expansion and penetration into new geographic markets, the expansion and penetration of our direct sales organization in existing geographic markets, and our continuing focus on increasing the efficiency of our existing direct sales organization.
Our product portfolio includes a broad spectrum of over 70 products and services consisting of over 600 stock keeping units (SKUs) covering a wide array of devices used in vascular procedures. Our management, including our chief executive officer who is our chief operating decision maker, report and manage our operations in three product categories – catheter products, hemostat products and vein products and services – based on similarities in the products. We have corporate infrastructure and direct sales capabilities in the United States and have established distribution relationships in most major international markets. In order to drive sales growth, we have invested not only in the expansion of our global distribution system, but also in new product development and additional regulatory approvals. A significant portion of our net sales growth historically has been, and we expect to continue to be, attributable to new and enhanced products.
The interventional medical device industry is characterized by intense competition, rapidly evolving technology, and a high degree of government regulation. To grow our business, we have focused on continually developing and commercializing new products. Looking ahead, we expect our business may be impacted by the following trends and opportunities:
|
|
·
|
The future regulatory approval of newly developed products. Any new product that we develop must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and by similar regulatory bodies in other countries before they can be sold. The requirements for obtaining product approval have undergone change, and the FDA proposed additional changes to the product approval process in 2012. We monitor the changing regulatory landscape and modify our regulatory submissions as necessary to obtain product approvals.
|
|
|
·
|
Successfully integrating acquired products and services into our existing operations. The acquisition of products and services complementary to our existing product portfolio and customer call point provides an additional business opportunity, but is dependent on the successful integration of the acquired products into our existing business structure.
|
|
|
o
|
In December 2012, we acquired the Teirstein Edge device organizer and the AngioAssist docking station assets from Shepherd Scientific and have integrated these products into our operations.
|
|

o
|
In August 2012, we acquired the Venture Wire Control Catheter (Venture) assets from St. Jude Medical and are in the process of integrating this product into our operations.
|
|
|
o
|
In June 2012, we acquired the Accumed wrist positioning splint assets from Accumed and have integrated this product into our operations.
|
|
|

|
In January 2012, we acquired the rights, patents and intellectual property relating to our Pronto catheter from Dr. Pedro Silva and his affiliates.
|
For additional information on these acquisitions, see Note 12 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
|
|
·
|
Managing intellectual property. The interventional medical device industry is characterized by numerous patent filings and litigation claims made to protect new and evolving product ideas. To maximize the profitability of new product ideas, we seek patent protection for those product design and method concepts which we believe have the potential to provide substantial product revenue. We have been named as a defendant in a patent and trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Terumo Corporation, and have been involved in material intellectual property litigation in the recent past (See “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q). Managing intellectual property assets and claims is a significant challenge for our business.

Approximately 84% of our net revenue was earned in the United States and 16% of our net revenue was earned in international markets for both of the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.
We recognized $87,000 of licensing revenue during both three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, due to our license and device supply agreements with King and our distribution agreement with Nicolai. The 5-year term of the license agreement with Nicolai expired on March 31, 2013. Beginning in the second quarter of 2013, licensing revenue will be $51,000 per quarter for the remainder of the year, relating entirely to the King agreements.
We have not recognized any collaboration revenue to date, however during 2013 we expect to recognize approximately $400,000 of collaboration revenue as a result of a development agreement we entered into with Pfizer, Inc. to develop a new hemostatic device.
Gross margin decreased to 66.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to 67.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in gross margin was the result of approximately $550,000 of scrap, returns and freight costs incurred in connection with a worldwide recall of Guardian® II and Guardian II NC hemostasis valves that we announced in February of 2013. We expect to resume shipments of the Guardian valves in June 2013 with no additional costs of the recall, and as a result we expect product gross margins to be between 68.0% to 69.0% in the second quater of 2013, subject to variations in our selling mix between U.S. and international markets and between our lower margin products such as the Vari-Lase products and our higher margin products such as the D-Stat Dry and GuideLiner products.
Research and development expense for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $3,405,000, or 13% of revenue, compared to $3,074,000, or 13% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2012. Research and development expenses have increased on a dollar basis as we have hired additional employees to improve the through-put of our new product development projects. We expect our continuing research and development expenses to be approximately 11.5% to 12.5% of revenue for the remainder of 2013.
Clinical and regulatory expense for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $1,163,000, or 5% of revenue, compared to $1,132,000, or 5% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2012. Clinical and regulatory expenses have remained relatively constant on a dollar basis compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. We expect clinical and regulatory expenses to continue to be approximately 4% to 5% of revenue for the remainder of 2013.
Sales and marketing expense for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $6,971,000, or 27% of revenue, compared to $6,601,000, or 28% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was due to our ability to continue to increase sales while maintaining our number of field sales employees constant. We expect to maintain the same relative size of our direct U.S. sales force for the remainder of 2013. We expect our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue to decline to between 23% and 24% by the fourth quarter of 2013.
General and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $2,240,000, or 9% of revenue, compared to $1,686,000, or 7% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2012. General and administrative expenses increased in the first three months of 2013 compared to the first three months of 2012 as a result of a $200,000 increase in legal expenses, primarily related to the patent and trademark infringement lawsuit that was commenced by Terumo Corporation in February 2013 and the U.S. Attorney’s gui tam litigation that commenced in June 2011 and (See “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q), and a $147,000 increase in stock-based compensation. Primarily due to estimated additional legal fees, we expect our general and administrative expenses to be approximately 7% to 8% of revenue for the remainder of 2013.
Medical device excise taxes for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $317,000, or 1.2% of revenue. This new U.S. tax on the sale of medical devices was effective January 1, 2013, so there was no corresponding amount for the first quarter of 2012. The statutory rate of the medical device excise tax is 2.3% of revenues on initial sales of finished medical products sold in the United States. The tax does not apply to service revenues. The Company’s effective rate for this tax is less than the statutory rate due to international sales, service revenues and sales of purchased finished goods (where the seller is responsible for paying the tax). We expect our medical device excise taxes to be approximately 1.2% to 1.4% of revenue for the remainder of 2013.
Amortization of purchased technology and other intangibles was $367,000 and $335,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amortization resulted from our product and license acquisitions. As part of these asset purchases and licensing agreements, we allocated $14,900,000 to purchased technology and other intangibles that are being amortized over a period of 9 to 11 years. For a complete discussion of the most recent acquisitions, see Note 12 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q. We expect amortization expense to be approximately $415,000 in the second quarter and then increase to approximately $435,000 starting in the third quarter of 2013, the first full quarter in which we expect to be selling the Venture Wire Control catheter products acquired from St. Jude Medical.
Income tax expense was $763,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, on earnings before tax of $2,888,000, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 26%. The difference between the effective tax rate of 26% for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 34% was due mainly to the impact of recognizing $300,000 of research and development credits in the first quarter of 2013 that had been deferred from 2012 pending Congressional action which was completed in January 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, income tax expense was $1,220,000 on earnings before tax of $3,129,000, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 39%. We expect our effective income tax rate will be 37% to 39% for the remainder of 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $14,053,000 at March 31, 2013 compared to $11,554,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012, an increase of $2,499,000. The majority of our cash is maintained in our operating accounts. A portion of our cash equivalents are invested in a money market fund invested in high quality, short-term money market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars such as debt instruments guaranteed by the governments of the United States, Western Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada, high quality corporate issuers and bank obligations. The money market fund’s assets are rated in the highest short-term category by nationally recognized rating agencies, such as Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s.
Cash provided by operations. We generated $4,925,000 of cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily resulting from our earnings before income taxes of $2,888,000, non-cash stock-based compensation of $1,055,000 and non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $1,025,000. Our earnings before income taxes contribute to our cash from operations because the majority of our income taxes are offset by our deferred tax assets. An increase in accrued expenses and compensation contributed $842,000 to cash provided by operations for the period, which was partially offset by a $709,000 increase in our accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in accounts receivable was consistent with revenue growth.
Cash used for investing activities. We used $1,842,000 of cash in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 for capital expenditures relating to building improvements, and our purchase of additional manufacturing and research and development equipment.
Cash used in financing activities. We used $566,000 of cash in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This amount consisted of $1,116,000 of cash used to repurchase 69,418 shares of our common stock that vested under outstanding restricted stock awards to satisfy income tax withholding obligations. These purchases were partially offset by the recognition of $444,000 of excess tax benefits from stock based compensation and by our receipt of $106,000 upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.
We have a $10 million revolving line of credit with US Bank, which has a 12-month term ending December 31, 2013, bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 1.60% and is secured by a first security interest in all of our assets. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the financial covenant under the line of credit and we had no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit with an availability of $10 million.
We currently anticipate that we will experience positive cash flow from our normal operating activities for the foreseeable future. We currently believe that our working capital of $39.3 million at March 31, 2013 will be sufficient to meet all of our operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. However, our actual liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the amount of revenue from sales of our existing and new products; the cost of maintaining, enforcing and defending patents and other intellectual property rights; competing technological and market developments; developments related to regulatory and third party reimbursement matters; and other factors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2013.

* See Note 12 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.
Not included in the table above are the expected payments for contingent consideration related to our acquisition of the Radius snare products in October 2010. This contingent consideration payment, if any, will equal 25% of the excess of our net sales of the snare and retrieval products over $3.0 million for the calendar year ending December 31, 2013. This amount was not included in the table above due to our inability to predict the amount and timing of the cash portion of the payments (See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q).
We do not have any other significant cash commitments related to supply agreements, nor do we have any significant commitments for capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations addresses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The material accounting policies that we believe are most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition and which require complex management judgment are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies.”
Cautionary Statement Pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business, so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the statement. We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions with respect to any forward-looking statements we may make in this filing, other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any public oral statements or written releases. The words or phrases “will likely,” “is expected,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “believe,” “estimate,” “projected,” “forecast,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. Forward-looking statements such as these are based on management’s current expectations as of the date of this report but involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. In accordance with the Act, we identify the following important general factors which, if altered from the current status, could cause our actual results to differ from those described in any forward-looking statements: risks associated with defense of patent infringement lawsuits, adoption of our new products, limited profitability, exposure to possible product liability claims, the development of new products by others, dependence on third party distributors in international markets, doing business in international markets, the availability of third party reimbursement, actions by the FDA related to our products, the loss of key vendors, and those factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. This list is not exhaustive, and we may supplement this list in any future filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in connection with the making of any specific forward-looking statement. We undertake no obligation to and do not intend to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. We maintain our accounts for cash and cash equivalents principally at one major bank in the United States and one major bank in Ireland. We have a formal written investment policy that limits our investments to investments in issuers evaluated as creditworthy. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of our cash and cash equivalents.
With respect to accounts receivable, we perform credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral. There have been no material losses on accounts receivables.
In the United States, we sell our products and services directly to hospitals and clinics. In international markets, we sell our products to independent distributors who, in turn, sell to hospitals. Sales to independent distributors are denominated in United States dollars, with the exception of sales to Germany, where sales are denominated in Euros. Sales to distributors out of our subsidiary in Ireland are denominated in Euros.
We distribute certain products on behalf of certain U.S. and international manufacturers. We pay for all distributed products in United States dollars.
We do not believe our operations are currently subject to significant market risks for interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices or other relevant market price risks of a material nature. A change of 0.1 in the Euro exchange rate would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $69,000 in the amount of United States dollars we receive in payment on the accounts receivable denominated in Euros with our subsidiary in Ireland and our German distributor, Nicolai GmbH. Under our current policies, we do not use foreign currency derivative instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate.
We currently have no indebtedness for borrowed money, but if we were to borrow amounts from our revolving credit line, we would be exposed to changes in interest rates. Advances under our revolving credit line bear interest at an annual rate indexed to LIBOR. We thus would be exposed to interest rate risk with respect to amounts outstanding under the line of credit to the extent that interest rates rise. As we had no amounts outstanding on the line of credit at March 31, 2013, we have no exposure to interest rate changes on this credit facility. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. Additionally, we will be exposed to declines in the interest rates paid on deposited funds. A 0.1% decline in the current market interest rates paid on deposits would result in interest earnings being reduced by approximately $14,000 on an annual basis.

Item 4.
|
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
|
Item 1.
|
The description of litigation and government proceedings included in Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q is incorporated into this Item 1 of Part II by reference.
From time to time, we are involved in additional legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. As of the date of this report we are not a party to any legal proceeding not described in this section in which an adverse outcome would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
|
Item 1A.
|
Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors described in Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012; however, those Risk Factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition and operating results and, accordingly, you should review and consider such Risk Factors in making any investment decision with respect to our securities. An investment in our securities continues to involve a high degree of risk.
