EXPLANATORY NOTE

Orthofix International N.V. (together with its respective consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company,” sometimes referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”) is filing this amendment (this “Amendment” or “Form 10-Q/A”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, which was originally filed on May 8, 2014 (the “Original Form 10-Q”).

In connection with the Company’s preparation of its consolidated interim quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that certain manual journal entries with respect to the previously filed financial statements contained in the Original Form 10-Q and the Company’s originally filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Original 2013 Form 10-K”) were not properly accounted for under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). As further described below, these additional errors affect the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 and other prior periods. Due to these errors, the Company determined in August 2014 to restate its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (including the interim quarterly periods contained within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012) and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, and that the previously filed financial statements for these periods (including those contained in the Original 2013 Form 10-K and the Original Form 10-Q) should no longer be relied upon. This Form 10-Q/A contains restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, the Company is filing (i) an amendment to the 2013 Form 10-K (the “2013 Form 10-K/A”), which amendment contains restated consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and (ii) its delayed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 (the “2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q”) and September 30, 2014 (the “2014 Third Quarter Form 10-Q”), which contain restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarterly and year to date periods ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The corrections of the additional errors in this Form 10-Q/A and the 2013 Form 10-K/A are referred to herein as the “Further Restatement.”

The Original 2013 Form 10-K reflected a prior restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, which we refer to herein as the “Original Restatement.”

Description of the Further Restatement

The errors corrected by the Further Restatement are as follows:

 

    A majority of revenue from the Company’s BioStim SBU is derived from third parties, which is subject to change due to contractual adjustments related to commercial insurance carriers, and may include certain patient co-pay amounts. The Company previously recorded certain co-pay and self-pay amounts as revenue with estimated uncollectible portions being recognized as bad debt expense. Given the collectability of co-pay and self-pay amounts was not reasonably assured, the conditions for revenue recognition had not been met and revenue for those amounts should not have been recognized until collected. Adjustments to correct the foregoing reduce equally both the Company’s historical net sales and its sales and marketing expense by approximately $2.2 million, $9.0 million and $6.0 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, there was $1.4 million in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 related to contractual amounts from commercial insurance carriers which was incorrectly classified to bad debt expense rather than a reduction of revenue, for a total reduction to bad debt and revenue of $2.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. These adjustments have no effect on net income from continuing operations or net income in those periods.

 

    Certain bad debt reserves originally recorded in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 were reversed in incorrect periods in the Original Restatement in connection with the change to sell-through accounting for certain distributors. As a result, sales and marketing expense was understated by approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and overstated by approximately $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

 

    As part of analyzing collections experience on accounts receivable, the Company identified that it had incorrectly considered certain deferred revenue amounts included in gross accounts receivable when calculating estimated reserves. Specifically, the computation of the contractual allowances and bad debt allowances, which serves to adjust accounts receivable to the estimated collectible amount, incorrectly assumed that some percentage of deferred amounts would be collected, rather than fully deferring these amounts. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in a net decrease in operating income of $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011, respectively, and a net increase in operating income of $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as well as a net decrease in operating loss of $1.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

    As part of the Original Restatement, the Company made certain corrections to prior period excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The effect of these corrections was not considered when determining the adjustments needed to eliminate intercompany profits from inventories in the Original Restatement. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $1.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $3.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

    As part of the remediation activities that followed the Original Restatement, the Company expanded its procedures in the second quarter of 2014 to validate the existence of field inventory held by independent sales representatives and noted that, in many cases, this inventory had higher rates of missing inventory (“shrinkage”) than previously estimated. To determine whether these higher error rates were pervasive across its field inventory, the Company counted approximately 90% of its field inventory during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2014. These counts resulted in the identification of errors relating to previous estimates of shrinkage. Adjustments in the Further Restatement to correct these errors, net of the related effect on previously recorded excess and obsolete inventory reserves, resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $0.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

    In connection with its remediation efforts associated with the material weakness noted in the Original Restatement related to inventory reserves, including performing a hindsight analysis of previously established reserves, the Company concluded that it was not appropriately calculating inventory reserves, including its consideration of demand assumptions for “kits”, which contain a variety of “piece part” components to be used during surgery as well as inventory held by third parties under inventory purchase obligations. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $3.2 million, $1.5 million and $0.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $2.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

In addition to the adjustments described above, the Company is correcting certain other items. The impact of correcting these items results in a decrease to income tax expense of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to correct an income tax payable error that was recorded during the Original Restatement; these adjustments are separate from the tax effect of the errors described above.

In the aggregate, the remaining additional adjustments resulted in a decrease to loss before income taxes of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease to income before income taxes of $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and a increase to loss before income taxes of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as well as a decrease to loss before income taxes of $1.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Items Amended by this Form 10-Q/A

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Form 10-Q, as modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the Further Restatement. Specifically, the following items included in the Original Form 10-Q are amended by this Form 10-Q/A:

 

    Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements

 

    Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

    Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures

 

    Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings

 

    Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors

 

    Part II, Item 6, Exhibits

The correction of the errors described above is further discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 herein and in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Other than this Form 10-Q/A and the 2013 Form 10-K/A, we do not intend to file any other amended reports in connection with the Further Restatement. All of our future Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q will reflect the restated information included in this Form 10-Q/A and the 2013 Form 10-K/A, as applicable.

Other than with respect to matters related to the Further Restatement (including consequences of the Company’s delay in filing the 2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q and the 2014 Third Quarter Form 10-Q), this Form 10-Q/A generally does not reflect events that have occurred after May 8, 2014, the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q, or modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Form 10-Q, except to reflect the effects of the restatement. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with (i) the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission since May 8, 2014, (ii) the 2013 Form 10-K/A, (iii) the 2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q and (iv) the 2014 Third Quarter Form 10-Q.

The Company’s current Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have issued certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in connection with this Form 10-Q/A. The certifications are included in this Form 10-Q/A and Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1.

Internal Control Considerations

In connection with the Further Restatement, management has re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the framework in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992 framework)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on such re-evaluation, management confirmed that the material weaknesses described in the Original Form 10-Q continue to be material weaknesses as of the time of the re-evaluation, and that some of these same material weaknesses contributed to the Further Restatement. In addition, the re-evaluation concluded that two additional material weaknesses existed related to (i) the calculation of our accounts receivable reserve, and (ii) the oversight of field inventory held by our independent sales representatives, which also contributed to the Further Restatement.

For a discussion of management’s consideration of our disclosure controls and procedures and the material weaknesses identified, see Part I, Item 4 of this Form 10-Q/A, as well Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of the 2013 Form 10-K/A.

ORTHFIX INTERNATIONAL N.V.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 2013 Form 10-K/A. The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing basis unless otherwise noted.

(b) Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain line items to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net earnings or shareholders’ equity.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to contractual allowances, doubtful accounts, inventories, potential goodwill and intangible asset impairment, income taxes, and shared-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(d) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements for operations outside the U.S. are generally maintained in their local currency. All foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts, except shareholders’ equity, are translated to U.S. dollars at period end exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity.

(e) Collaborative agreement

The Company receives a marketing fee through our collaboration with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) for Trinity Evolution® and Trinity ELITE®, for which, we have exclusive marketing rights and VersaShield™ for which we have non-exclusive marketing rights. Under our agreements with MTF, MTF processes the tissues, maintains inventory, and invoices hospitals and surgery centers and other points of care for service fees, which are submitted by customers via purchase orders. MTF is considered the primary obligor in these arrangements and therefore we recognize these marketing service fees on a net basis upon shipment of the product to the customer.

2. Original and Further Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the Company’s preparation of its consolidated interim quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that certain entries with respect to the previously filed financial statements contained in the Original Form 10-Q and the Original 2013 Form 10-K were not properly accounted for under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). As further described below, these additional errors affect the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. Due to these errors, the Company determined in August 2014 to restate its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (including the interim quarterly

periods contained within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012) and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, and that the previously filed financial statements for these periods (including those contained in the Original 2013 Form 10-K and the Original Form 10-Q) should no longer be relied upon. This Form 10-Q/A contains restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, the Company is filing (i) an amendment to the Original 2013 Form 10-K (the “2013 Form 10-K/A”), which amendment contains restated consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and the quarterly reporting periods contained within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and (ii) its delayed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 (the “2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q”) and September 30, 2014 (the “2014 Third Quarter Form 10-Q”), which contain restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarterly and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The corrections of the additional errors in this Form 10-Q/A and the 2013 Form 10-K/A are referred to herein as the “Further Restatement.”

The Original 2013 Form 10-K reflected a prior restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, which we refer to herein as the “Original Restatement.” For additional information regarding the Original Restatement, see the 2013 Form 10-K/A.

Background of Further Restatement

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company’s management noted that the Company’s bad debt expense for its BioStim strategic business unit (“SBU”) during the first quarter of 2014 was higher than internally budgeted. As a result, the Company’s internal finance department reviewed bad debt expense entries in prior periods. In connection with this review, the Company also further considered its accounting methodology with respect to certain prior revenue adjustments related to uncollectible patient co-pay and self-pay amounts. As further described below, after performing this review, the Company determined that errors existed relating to the accounting for uncollectible patient co-pay and self-pay amounts, and that certain bad debt reserves originally recorded in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 were reversed in incorrect periods in the Original Restatement in connection with the change to sell-through accounting for certain distributors. After analyzing these errors, the Company determined to further restate its financial statements as described in the 2013 Form 10-K/A and herein. In addition to these matters, certain other adjustments identified by management, including revisions to inventory reserves, intercompany profit adjustments and accounts receivable reserves, were made to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the Further Restatement, as discussed below.

Co-Pay and Self-Pay Revenue Adjustments

A majority of revenue from the Company’s BioStim SBU is derived from third parties, which is subject to change due to contractual adjustments related to commercial insurance carriers, and may include certain patient co-pay amounts. In addition, certain patient purchasers are without insurance, with revenue derived from “self-pay” arrangements. In previously issued financial statements, the Company recorded these co-pay and self-pay amounts as revenue with estimated uncollectible portions being recognized as bad debt expense. Upon further analysis, it was determined that because collectability of co-pay and self-pay amounts was not reasonably assured, the conditions for revenue recognition had not been met and revenue for those amounts should not have been recognized until collected. Additionally, in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, there were amounts related to contractual amounts from commercial insurance carriers that were incorrectly classified to bad debt expense rather than a reduction of revenue.

Adjustments to correct the foregoing reduce equally both the Company’s historical net sales and its sales and marketing expense by approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, there was $1.4 million in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 which was inappropriately classified to bad debt expense rather than a reduction of revenue, for a total reduction to bad debt and revenue of $2.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. These adjustments have no effect on net income from continuing operations, net income or total assets in any period.

Bad Debt Timing Adjustments

In connection with the foregoing, the Company determined to review bad debt expense trends more broadly across all of its business units. As a result of this process, the Company determined that certain bad debt reserves originally recorded in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 were reversed in incorrect periods in the Original Restatement in connection with the change to sell-through accounting for certain distributors. Because the Original Restatement transferred these transactions to sell-through accounting (as opposed to sell-in accounting, which had been used when the original bad debt reserves were recorded), the bad debt reserve was reversed as part of the Original Restatement, as the receivable that was being reserved for was no longer recognized.

Adjustments to correct this error result in an increase of sales and marketing expense of $1.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013. There were no adjustments to the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. These adjustments resulted in no impact to the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Accounts Receivable Reserve Adjustments

As part of analyzing collections experience on accounts receivable, the Company identified that it had incorrectly considered certain deferred revenue amounts included in gross accounts receivable when calculating estimated reserves. Specifically, the computation of the contractual allowances and bad debt allowances, which serves to adjust accounts receivable to the estimated collectible amount, incorrectly assumed that some percentage of the deferred amounts would be collected, rather than fully deferring these amounts.

Adjustments to correct this error resulted in a net decrease in operating loss of $1.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 and a net increase in operating income of $0.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31 2013.

This adjustment resulted in a decrease in accounts receivable, net (due to an increase in reserves) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by $2.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Intercompany Profit Adjustments

The Company has two manufacturing facilities which support the inventory needs of other subsidiaries through intercompany sales transactions. These intercompany sales include a profit margin for the selling subsidiary (“intercompany profit”) that is eliminated by the Company as part of its consolidated financial reporting process. The elimination of intercompany profit requires determining the affected net inventory amounts and their related intercompany profit margin to eliminate all intercompany profit, resulting in all inventories being carried at historical cost in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

As part of the Original Restatement the Company made certain corrections to prior period excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The effect of these corrections was not properly considered when determining the adjustments needed to eliminate intercompany profits from inventories in the Original Restatement.

Adjustments to correct this error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $3.0 million and a decrease to cost of sales of $0.1 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

This adjustment resulted in a decrease in inventory as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by $5.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory Existence

As part of the remediation activities that followed the Original Restatement, the Company expanded its procedures in the second quarter of 2014 to validate the existence of field inventory held by independent sales representatives and noted that, in many cases, this inventory had higher rates of missing inventory (“shrinkage”) than previously estimated. To determine whether these higher error rates were pervasive across its field inventory, the Company counted approximately 90% of its field inventory during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2014. These counts resulted in the identification of errors relating to previous estimates of shrinkage.

Adjustments in the Further Restatement to correct these errors, net of the related effect on previously recorded excess and obsolete inventory reserves, resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

These adjustments resulted in a decrease in inventory as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Inventory Reserves

In connection with its remediation efforts associated with the material weakness noted in the Original Restatement related to inventory reserves, the Company concluded that it was not appropriately calculating inventory reserves, including its consideration of demand assumptions for “kits”, which contain a variety of “piece part” components to be used during surgery that have various demand considerations, as well as inventory held by third parties under inventory purchase obligations.

Adjustments to correct these errors resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $2.4 million and $0.8 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These adjustments resulted in a decrease to inventory (due to an increase in reserves) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by $16.4 million and $14.4 million, respectively.

Other Adjustments

In addition to the adjustments described above, the Company is correcting certain other items. The impact of correcting these items results in a decrease to loss before income taxes of $1.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, and a decrease to income before income taxes of $0.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The tables below show the effects of the Original Restatement for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, as well as the effects of the Further Restatement for each of the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. In each case, the tax effect of the adjustments is estimated based on the Company’s estimated tax rate.

3. Inventories

The Company’s inventories are primarily stated at standard cost, which approximates actual cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company adjusts the value of its inventory to the extent management determines that the cost cannot be recovered due to obsolescence or other factors. In order to make these determinations, management uses estimates of future demand and sales prices for each product to determine the appropriate inventory reserves and to make corresponding adjustments to the carrying value of these inventories to reflect the lower of cost or market value. In the event of a sudden significant decrease in demand for the Company’s products, or a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence, the Company could be required to increase its inventory reserves, which would increase cost of sales and decrease gross profit.

Work-in-process and finished products, include material, labor and production overhead costs. Deferred cost of sales result from transactions where the Company has shipped product or performed services for which all revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Once the revenue recognition criteria have been met, both the deferred revenues and associated cost of sales are recognized.

5. Goodwill

As a result of the Company’s change in reporting structure in July of 2013, the Company allocated goodwill to each reporting unit, and subsequently evaluated all reporting units, including the Extremity Fixation and Spine Fixation reporting units, for the possible impairment of goodwill. The result of this evaluation was a full impairment of the goodwill allocated to our Extremity Fixation and our Spine Fixation reporting units, totaling $19.2 million. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, accumulated impairment was $9.8 million for our Extremity Fixation reportable unit and $9.4 million for our Spine Fixation reporting unit. Our BioStim and Biologics reportable units have not been impaired. The following table presents the net carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

6. Bank borrowings

The Company had no borrowings and an unused available line of credit of €5.8 million ($8.0 million) at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, on its Italian line of credit. This line of credit provides the Company the option to borrow amounts in Italy at rates which are determined at the time of borrowing. This line of credit is unsecured.

7. Long-term debt

On August 30, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned U.S. holding company, Orthofix Holdings, Inc. (“Orthofix Holdings”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, RBS Citizens, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and certain lender parties thereto.

The Credit Agreement provides for a five year, $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a five year, $100 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility,” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). On January 15, 2015, at the Company’s request, the lenders agreed to reduce the available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $100 million.

As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, there was $20 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which is, at Orthofix Holdings’ option, either the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (in each case subject to adjustment based on financial ratios). Such applicable margin will be up to 3.25% for LIBOR borrowings and up to 2.25% for base rate borrowings depending upon a measurement of the consolidated leverage ratio with respect to the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the entire Revolving Credit Facility was at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The effective interest rate on the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, was 2.7%. Outstanding balances on the Revolving Credit Facility are due on August 30, 2015.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which may be made in the future, may used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Guarantors have guaranteed repayment of Orthofix Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires Orthofix Holdings and the Company to comply with coverage ratios on a consolidated basis and contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional debt, liens, investments and acquisitions. The Credit Agreement, as amended, also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated. On August 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Limited Waiver (the “Original Limited Waiver”) with the lenders under the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) which waived requirements under the Credit Agreement to deliver quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended on June 30, 2013, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2014 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released. The Company was in compliance with the affirmative and negative covenants at March 31, 2014 and there were no events of default.

In connection with the Further Restatement and the Company’s delay in filing the 2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q, on August 14, 2014 the Company entered into a subsequent Limited Waiver with the Lenders which was extended on September 30, 2014, January 15, 2015 and February 26, 2015 (the “Subsequent Limited Waivers”). Under the Subsequent Limited Waivers, the Lenders collectively waived requirements under the Credit Agreement that the Company deliver quarterly financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2015 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released. The Subsequent Limited Waivers also extend the date by which the Company is required to provide certain 2014 fiscal year financial statements until the earlier of (i) one business day following the date that the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 or (ii) April 30, 2015. In addition, the Subsequent Limited Waivers provided that the Further Restatement would not constitute a default or event of default provided that within one business day after the public release or filing of such restated financial statements, the Company delivered corrected financial statements and compliance certificates with respect to such restated periods and immediately paid any additional interest and other fees that would have been owed had applicable interest and fees originally been calculated based on the restated financial statements. As of the date hereof, the Company has delivered the quarterly consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and the Company does not expect the Further Restatement to trigger any such additional interest or fees with respect to such prior periods. However, in the event that the Company does not satisfy these respective obligations under the Original Limited Waiver, the Subsequent Limited Waivers and/or the Credit Agreement, an event of default could be declared under the Credit Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make intercompany loan advances pursuant to the Company’s Credit Facilities. The net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries are restricted for distributions to the parent company. Domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as parties to the credit agreement, have access to these net assets for operational purposes.

The amount of restricted net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, is $171.1 million and $168.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts the Company and subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Facilities from access to cash held by Orthofix Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s subsidiaries that are parties to the Credit Agreement have access to this cash for operational and debt repayment purposes. The amount of restricted cash of the Company as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, was $19.3 million and $23.8 million, respectively.

In conjunction with obtaining the Credit Facilities and the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $5 million. These costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, related to the Credit Agreement were $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Cross-currency swap

On September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement (the “replacement swap agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland PLC (the “counterparties”) to manage its cash flows related to foreign currency exposure for a portion of the Company’s intercompany receivable of a U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary that is denominated in Euro.

Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays Euros based on a €28.7 million notional value and a fixed rate of 5.00% and receives U.S. dollars based on a notional value of $39 million and a fixed rate of 4.635%. The expiration date is December 30, 2016, the date upon which the underlying intercompany debt, to which the swap agreement applies, matures. The swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge and therefore the Company recognized an unrealized gain (loss) on the change in fair value, net of tax, within other comprehensive income (loss).

Warrants

In 2013, the Company purchased notes receivable from Bone Biologics, Inc. (“Bone Biologics”) totaling $250 thousand, all of which were issued with detachable warrants to purchase common stock of Bone Biologics. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company held warrants for 125 thousand shares of Bone Biologics, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

Under the terms of the note and warrant purchase agreements, the warrants to purchase common stock in Bone Biologics are detachable from the note, exercisable over a seven year period, and transferable by the holder to other parties. There was no change in fair value of the warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

9. Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value include any long-lived assets or equity method investments that are impaired in a currently reported period. The authoritative guidance also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1       quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2       observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3      

unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require  the reporting entity to develop

its own assumptions

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, restricted cash, certificates of deposit, treasury securities, collective trust funds, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term secured debt, deferred compensation plan liabilities and derivative securities. The carrying value of restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company’s credit facilities carry a floating rate of interest, and therefore, the carrying value is considered to approximate the fair value.

The Company’s collective trust funds, treasury securities, certificates of deposit, deferred compensation plan liabilities and derivative securities are the only financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of treasury securities and certificates of deposit are determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, therefore, the Company has categorized these instruments as Level 1 financial instruments. The cross-currency derivative instrument consists of an over-the-counter contract, which is not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of this derivative swap contract, the common stock warrants, the Company’s collective trust funds and the Company’s deferred compensation plan liabilities are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets, therefore, the Company has categorized these instruments as Level 2 financial instruments. Changes in the fair value of collective trust funds and deferred compensation plan liabilities are recorded in Other income (expense). The Company also considers counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk in its determination of estimated fair values. The Company has consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented.

11. Earnings per share

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no adjustments to net income (loss) for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) available to common shareholders. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share computations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no performance requirements for share-based compensation awarded to employees. In March 2013, the Company granted options to its newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer, which vesting is based on achieving certain market prices for the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 263,575 and 113,965 shares, respectively, of common stock issued related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards.

13. Income taxes

The Company recognized a $1.2 million and $4.4 million provision for income tax which reflects an effective tax rate of (153.3)% and 42.4% on pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the impact of various discrete charges, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was (68.5)% and 42.4% for the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The principal factors affecting the Company’s March 31, 2014 effective tax rate was the Company’s mix of earnings among various tax jurisdictions, state taxes, current period losses in certain jurisdictions for which the Company does not currently provide a tax benefit and variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and pretax earnings resulting from extraordinary expenses.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit was $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million accrued for payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of March 31, 2014, the Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

14. Business segment information

On July 1, 2013, we began certain organizational and executive leadership changes to align with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company. We manage our business by our four strategic business units (“SBUs”), which are comprised of BioStim, Biologics, Extremity Fixation, and Spine Fixation supported by Corporate activities. These SBUs represent the segments for which our CODM reviews financial information and makes resource allocation decisions among business units. The primary metric used by the CODM in managing the Company is net margin, which is defined as gross profit less sales and marketing expense. The Company neither discretely allocates assets, other than goodwill, to its operating segments nor evaluates the operating segments using discrete asset information. Accordingly, our segment information has been prepared based on our four SBUs reporting segments. These four segments are discussed below.

BioStim

The BioStim SBU manufactures, distributes, and provides support services for market leading devices that enhance bone fusion. These Class III medical devices are indicated as an adjunctive, noninvasive treatment to improve fusion success rates in the cervical and lumbar spine as well as a therapeutic treatment for non-spine fractures that have not healed (non-unions). The devices utilize Orthofix’s patented pulsed electromagnetic field (“PEMF”) technology which is supported by strong basic mechanism of action data in the scientific literature as well as strong level one randomized controlled clinical trials in the medical literature. Current research and clinical studies are also underway to identify potential new clinical indications.

Biologics

Biologics provides a portfolio of regenerative products that allow physicians to successfully treat a variety of spinal and orthopedic conditions. This SBU specializes in the marketing of the Company’s regeneration tissue forms. Biologics markets its tissues through a network of distributors, sales representatives and affiliates to supply to hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare providers, primarily in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Our partnership with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) allows us to exclusively market our Trinity Evolution® and Trinity ELITE® tissue forms for musculoskeletal defects to enhance bony fusion as well as VersaShield for which we have non-exclusive rights.

Extremity Fixation

The Extremity Fixation SBU offers products that allow physicians to successfully treat a variety of orthopedic conditions unrelated to the spine. This SBU specializes in the design, development, and marketing of the Company’s orthopedic products used in fracture repair, deformity correction and bone reconstruction. Extremity Fixation distributes its products through a network of distributors, sales representatives, and affiliates. This SBU uses both direct and distributor sales representatives to sell orthopedics products to hospitals, doctors, and other health providers, globally.

Spine Fixation

The Spine Fixation SBU specializes in the design, development and marketing of a broad portfolio of implant products used in surgical procedures of the spine. Spine Fixation distributes its products through a network of distributors and affiliates. This SBU uses distributor sales representatives to sell spine products to hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers, globally.

Corporate

Corporate activities are comprised of the operating expenses, including share-based compensation, of Orthofix International N.V. and its holding company subsidiaries, along with activities not necessarily identifiable within the four SBUs.

The table below presents external net sales by SBU reporting segment (amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to our new segment reporting structure). Net sales include product sales and marketing service fees. Marketing service fees, which are recorded on a net basis, are comprised of fees earned for the marketing of Trinity Evolution®, Trinity ELITE® and Versashield™ in our Biologics segment.

15. Sale of Breg

In 2012, the Company sold its subsidiary Breg, Inc. In connection with this sale transaction, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer with respect to certain specified matters. The portion of the indemnification related to post closing claims related to post-closing sales of cold therapy units has created a guarantee under Accounting Standards Codification ASC 460, Guarantees, and the fair value of the liability has been recorded under the initial recognition criteria in the amount of $2 million at the closing date. The Company is amortizing the fair value of the non-contingent liability ratably over the period of indemnification, which is three years. The Company’s remaining obligations under this guarantee were approximately $0.8 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is $0.8 million of expense related to the Company’s indemnification of certain specified matters described above.

On August 14, 2014 the Lenders and the Company entered into a subsequent Limited Waiver which was extended on September 30, 2014, January 15, 2015 and February 26, 2015 (the “Subsequent Limited Waivers”). Under the Subsequent Limited Waivers, the Lenders collectively waived requirements under the Credit Agreement that the Company deliver quarterly financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2015 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As further described in the explanatory note to this Form 10-Q/A, as well as in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 herein, the Company has restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements for certain prior periods, including the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. We refer to such restatement as the “Further Restatement.” Accordingly, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been revised to reflect the effects of the Further Restatement.

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of our operations which are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Net sales decreased $2.3 million to $100.0 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $102.3 million for the same period last year. The impact of foreign currency decreased sales by $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Sales

Net sales in our BioStim SBU remained relatively flat with sales of $37.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $37.3 million for the same period in the prior year.

Net sales in our Biologics SBU decreased $0.4 million or 3.0% to $13.0 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $13.4 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in our marketing service fee rate of Trinity from MTF from 70% on April 1, 2013, compared to 65% in first quarter of 2014.

Net sales in our Extremity Fixation SBU increased $0.9 million, to $27.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $26.2 million for the same period last year, primarily due to increased sales in the U.K. and France, offset somewhat by lower performance in the U.S. and Brazil due to disruption of the sales channel as we rebuild our sales organization.

Table of Contents

Net sales in our Spine Fixation SBU decreased $2.7 million to $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $25.5 million for the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in domestic sales.

Gross Profit — Our gross profit decreased $3.2 million to $73.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $76.4 million for the same period last year. This decrease is due to geographical sales mix primarily in Brazil and an increase in costs of goods primarily associated with a higher excess and obsolescence inventory reserve in the first quarter of 2014. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 73.2% for the first quarter of 2014 and 74.8% for 2013 during the same period.

Sales and Marketing Expense — Sales and marketing expense, includes variable expenses such as commissions and the bad debt provision. Sales and marketing expense decreased $4.6 million, to $41.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $45.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 driven mostly by the reorganization of our direct sales force in Brazil and year-over-year decreases in marketing costs. As a percent of net sales, sales and marketing expense was 41.8% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to and 44.8% in the first quarter of 2013.

General and Administrative Expense — General and administrative expense decreased $0.9 million, or 4.9%, in the first quarter of 2014 to $17.3 million compared to $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. Most of this decrease in general and an administrative expense was driven by succession changes in 2013 offset to some degree by internal audit fees in 2014. General and administrative expense as a percent of net sales was 17.3% and 17.8% respectively in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Research and Development Expense — Research and development expense increased $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $5.9 million compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2013. As a percent of net sales, research and development expense was 5.9% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 5.6% for the same period last year.

Amortization of Intangible Assets — Amortization of intangible assets was $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $0.5 million for the same period last year.

Costs related to the accounting review and restatement — As part of our accounting review and restatement of our consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred $8.3 million of charges related to these activities in the first quarter of 2014.

Interest Expense, net — Interest expense, net was $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013.

Other Income and Expense — Other expense was ($0.3) million compared to other income of $4.8 million for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fluctuation is mainly attributable to our receipt of $4.4 million cash related to the demutualization of a mutual insurance company in which we were an eligible member to share in such proceeds. Other income (expense) also includes the effect of foreign exchange transactions. Several of our foreign subsidiaries hold trade payables or receivables in currencies (most notably the U.S. Dollar) other than their functional currency which results in foreign exchange gains or losses when there is relative movement between those currencies.

Income Tax Expense — Our worldwide effective tax rate was (153.3)% and 42.4% during the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the impact of various discrete charges, the effective tax rate on continuing operations for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 was (68.5)% and 42.4%, respectively. The principal factors affecting the Company’s March 31, 2014 effective tax rate was the Company’s mix of earnings among various tax jurisdictions, state taxes, current period losses in certain jurisdictions for which the Company does not currently provide a tax benefit and variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and pretax earnings resulting from extraordinary expenses.

Discontinued operations — Discontinued operations include approximately ($0.6) million and ($2.5) million in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, of legal settlements and legal costs, net of income taxes, related to certain specified product liability matters related to our former subsidiary, Breg. We agreed to indemnify Breg and its purchaser with respect to such matters.

Net Income (loss) — Net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was ($2.5) million, or ($0.14) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $3.4 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. The weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding was 18,197,363 and 19,431,093 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding was 18,197,363 and 19,691,141 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash at March 31, 2014, were $44.4 million, of which $19.3 million was subject to certain restrictions under the senior secured credit agreement described below. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $52.7 million at December 31, 2013, of which $23.8 million was subject to certain restrictions under the senior secured credit agreement discussed below.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, we made no repayments on our revolving debt. Our restricted cash balance usage decreased $12.6 million from usage of $8.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, to cash provided by changes in restricted cash of $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily related to the cash received from the Blackstone escrow fund which was recorded in Restricted Cash in accordance with the credit facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, we received proceeds of $5.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, from the issuance of 263,575 shares and 113,965 shares, respectively, of our common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards.

On August 30, 2010, our wholly-owned U.S. holding company, Orthofix Holdings, Inc. (“Orthofix Holdings”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain of our domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, RBS Citizens, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and certain lender parties thereto.

The Credit Agreement provides for a five year, $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a five year, $100 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). On January 15, 2015, at the Company’s request, the lenders agreed to reduce the available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $100 million.

As of March 31, 2014, our Term Loan Facility has been repaid in full and there was $20 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which is, at Orthofix Holdings’ option, either the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (in each case subject to adjustment based on financial ratios). Such applicable margin will be up to 3.25% for LIBOR borrowings and up to 2.25% for base rate borrowings depending upon a measurement of the consolidated leverage ratio with respect to the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the entire Revolving Credit Facility was at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The effective interest rate on the Credit Facilities at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 2.7%.

Outstanding balances on the Revolving Credit Facility are due on August 30, 2015.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which may be made in the future, may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Guarantors have guaranteed repayment of Orthofix Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires us and Orthofix Holdings to comply with coverage ratios on a consolidated basis and contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional debt, liens, investments and acquisitions. On August 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Limited Waiver (the “Original Limited Waiver”) with the lenders under the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) which waived requirements under the Credit Agreement to deliver quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended on June 30, 2013, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2014 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released. The Company was in compliance with the affirmative and negative covenants at March 31, 2014 and there were no events of default.

        In connection with the Further Restatement and the Company’s delay in filing the 2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q, on August 14, 2014 the Company entered into a subsequent Limited Waiver with the Lenders which was extended on September 30, 2014, January 15, 2015 and February 26, 2015 (the “Subsequent Limited Waivers”). Under the Subsequent Limited Waivers, the Lenders collectively waived requirements under the Credit Agreement that the Company deliver quarterly financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2015 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released. The Subsequent Limited Waivers also extend the date by which the Company is required to provide certain 2014 fiscal year financial statements until the earlier of (i) one business day following the date that the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 or (ii) April 30, 2015. In

addition, the Subsequent Limited Waivers provided that the Further Restatement would not constitute a default or event of default provided that within one business day after the public release or filing of such restated financial statements, the Company delivered corrected financial statements and compliance certificates with respect to such restated periods and immediately paid any additional interest and other fees that would have been owed had applicable interest and fees originally been calculated based on the restated financial statements. As of the date hereof, the Company has delivered the quarterly consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and the Company does not expect the Further Restatement to trigger any such additional interest or fees with respect to such prior periods. However, in the event that the Company does not satisfy these respective obligations under the Original Limited Waiver, the Subsequent Limited Waivers and/or the Credit Agreement, an event of default could be declared under the Credit Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Certain of our subsidiaries have restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make intercompany loan advances pursuant to the Credit Facilities. The net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries are restricted for distributions to the parent company. Our domestic subsidiaries, as parties to the Credit Agreement, have access to these net assets for operational purposes. The amount of restricted net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, was $171.1 million and $168.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts us and our subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Facilities from access to cash held by Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries. The amount of restricted cash as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, was $19.3 million and $23.8 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2014, we had no outstanding bank borrowings and unused available line of credit of approximately €5.8 million ($8.0 million) under the line of credit established in Italy to finance the working capital of our Italian operations. The terms of the line of credit give us the option to borrow amounts in Italy at rates determined at the time of borrowing.

On May 8, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program in an amount up to $50 million. Repurchases began on May 10, 2013, consisting primarily of open market transactions at prevailing market prices in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases are being made from cash on hand, cash generated from operations and additional borrowings. The timing of the transactions and the aggregate number of shares of common stock that will be ultimately repurchased under the repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and the prices at which the securities are repurchased. The Company may discontinue repurchases without prior notice at any time if the Company determines additional repurchases are not warranted. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company made no repurchases. The Company has not made any further purchases between March 31, 2014, and the date hereof. To date, the Company has made total repurchases in an amount equal to $39.5 million.

We believe that current cash balances together with projected cash flows from operating activities, the availability of the $180 million revolving credit facility, the available Italian line of credit and our debt capacity are sufficient to cover additional stock repurchases, anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs including research and development costs over the next twelve months.

The Company’s intention is to reinvest the total amount of its unremitted foreign earnings (residing outside Curaçao) in the local jurisdiction, to the extent they are generated and available, or to repatriate the earnings only when tax-effective. As an entity incorporated in Curaçao, “foreign subsidiaries” refer to both U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries. Furthermore, only income sourced in the U.S. is subject to U.S. income tax. It is not practicable to determine the amounts of net additional income tax that may be payable if such earnings were repatriated. The Company does not anticipate any impact on income tax liabilities since earnings are permanently reinvested for both U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations. Primary exposures include changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. These exposures can vary sales, cost of sales, costs of operations, cost of financing and yields on cash and short-term investments. We use derivative financial instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. However, our risk management policy does not allow us to hedge positions we do not hold nor do we enter into derivative or other financial investments for trading or speculative purposes. As of March 31, 2014, we had a currency swap in place to minimize foreign currency exchange risk related to a €28.7 million ($39.5 million translated at the March 31, 2014, foreign exchange rate) intercompany note. As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of the currency swap was approximately ($1.0) million and is recorded in other long-term liabilities.

We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility, which bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin or at a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable borrowing margin. Therefore, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

As of March 31, 2014, $20 million of the Revolving Credit Facility is at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The margin is adjusted based upon the measurement of the consolidated leverage ratio of our Company and our subsidiaries with respect to the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2014, our effective interest rate on our Credit Facilities was 2.7%. Based on the balance outstanding under the Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2014, an immediate change of one percentage point in the applicable interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility would cause a change in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million annually.

Our foreign currency exposure results from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, Great Britain Pound, Mexican Peso and Brazilian Real. We are subject to cost of sales currency exposure when we produce products in foreign currencies such as the Euro or Great Britain Pound and sell those products in U.S. Dollars. We are subject to transactional currency exposures when foreign subsidiaries (or the Company itself) enter into transactions denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. As of March 31, 2014, we had an un-hedged intercompany receivable denominated in Euro of approximately €23.2 million ($31.9 million). We recorded a foreign currency loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014, of $0.1 million related to this un-hedged long-term intercompany note in accumulated other comprehensive income, which resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a foreign currency gain of $0.1 million on the statement of operations resulting from gains and losses in foreign currency transactions.

We also are subject to currency exposure from translating the results of our global operations into the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated during the period. As we continue to distribute and manufacture our products in selected foreign countries, we expect that future sales and costs associated with our activities in these markets will continue to be denominated in the applicable foreign currencies, which could cause currency fluctuations to materially impact our operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Background of Restatements

Original Restatement

In July 2013, members of the Company’s senior management brought certain information to the attention of the chair of the Audit Committee (“Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that raised questions regarding whether the Company had properly recognized revenue under U.S. GAAP in connection with revenue from distributor sales that had been recorded in 2012 and 2011, including a significant return processed in the second quarter of 2013 relating to revenue recognized in 2012. On the recommendation of management and after discussion with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”), the Audit Committee concluded, with the concurrence of the Board, that it would commence an independent review into these matters with the assistance of outside professionals engaged by the Audit Committee (the “Independent Review”).

On August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee concluded that certain revenues recognized during 2012 and 2011, upon further evaluation, should not have been recognized or should not have been recognized during the periods in which they were recognized. As a result of the foregoing, on August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as well as for the interim quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, should no longer be relied upon (the “Non-Reliance Period”). On August 6, 2013, the Board ratified the foregoing conclusion by the Audit Committee.

The Independent Review focused on the periods between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2013 and included (i) over 50 witness interviews, (ii) collection of emails and files from 70 document custodians, and (iii) quantitative analysis. The scope of the Independent Review, which was determined by the Audit Committee in consultation with outside professionals engaged by the Audit Committee, focused primarily on revenue recognition related to distributor arrangements and inventory reserve adjustments. In conjunction with the Independent Review, management concluded that errors existed in the Company’s previously issued financial statements with respect to the Non-Reliance Period, as well as in the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007. The error corrections related to the foregoing, which we refer to herein as the “Original Restatement,” were contained in the Company’s originally filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed on March 31, 2014 (“Original 2013 Form 10-K”).

In reaching the error correction conclusions that were reflected in the Original Restatement, the Company considered information obtained in the Independent Review, including emails, data and interviews with current and former employees that indicated (i) the existence of extra-contractual terms or arrangements at the onset of the sale and concessions agreed to subsequent to the initial sale (such as extended payment terms and return and exchange rights for sales to distributors with respect to certain transactions), including some with which certain senior-level personnel were involved, (ii) that at the time of some sales collection was not reasonably assured, and (iii) that certain amounts previously characterized as commissions were paid to related parties of the applicable customer.

The Company assessed the information derived from the Independent Review in making determinations with respect to accounting adjustments reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements contained in Original 2013 Form 10-K, and such determinations were consistent with the findings of the Independent Review. In addition to the matters that were the subject of the Independent Review, certain other adjustments identified by management, including revisions to inventory reserves and royalties, were made to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the restatement.

Further Restatement

In connection with the Company’s preparation of its consolidated interim quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that certain manual journal entries with respect to the previously filed consolidated financial statements contained in the Original 2013 Form 10-K were not properly accounted for under U.S. GAAP. As further described below, these additional errors affect the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 and other prior periods. Due to these errors, the Company determined in August 2014 to restate its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (including the interim quarterly periods contained within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012) and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, and that the previously filed financial statements for these periods (including those contained in the Original 2013 Form 10-K) should no longer be relied upon. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, the Company is filing (i) an amendment to the Original 2013 Form 10-K (the “2013 Form 10-K/A”), which amendment contains restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and (ii) its delayed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 (the “2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q”) and September 30, 2014 (the “2014 Third Quarter Form 10-Q”), which contain restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarterly and year to date periods ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The corrections of the additional errors in this Form 10-Q/A and the 2013 Form 10-K/A are referred to herein as the “Further Restatement”.

Table of Contents

The errors corrected by the Further Restatement are as follows:

 

    A majority of revenue from the Company’s BioStim SBU is derived from third parties, which is subject to change due to contractual adjustments related to commercial insurance carriers, and may include certain patient co-pay amounts. The Company previously recorded certain co-pay and self-pay amounts as revenue with estimated uncollectible portions being recognized as bad debt expense. Given the collectability of co-pay and self-pay amounts was not reasonably assured, the conditions for revenue recognition had not been met and revenue for those amounts should not have been recognized until collected. Adjustments to correct the foregoing reduce equally both the Company’s historical net sales and its sales and marketing expense by approximately $2.2 million, $9.0 million and $6.0 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, there was $1.4 million in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 related to contractual amounts from commercial insurance carriers which was incorrectly classified to bad debt expense rather than a reduction of revenue, for a total reduction to bad debt and revenue of $2.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. These adjustments have no effect on net income from continuing operations or net income in those periods.

 

    Certain bad debt reserves originally recorded in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 were reversed in incorrect periods in the Original Restatement in connection with the change to sell-through accounting for certain distributors. As a result, sales and marketing expense was understated by approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and overstated by approximately $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

 

    As part of analyzing collections experience on accounts receivable, the Company identified that it had incorrectly considered certain deferred revenue amounts included in gross accounts receivable when calculating estimated reserves. Specifically, the computation of the contractual allowances and bad debt allowances, which serves to adjust accounts receivable to the estimated collectible amount, incorrectly assumed that some percentage of deferred amounts would be collected, rather than fully deferring these amounts. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in a net decrease in operating income of $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011, respectively, and a net increase in operating income of $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as well as a net decrease in operating loss of $1.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

    As part of the Original Restatement, the Company made certain corrections to prior period excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The effect of these corrections was not considered when determining the adjustments needed to eliminate intercompany profits from inventories in the Original Restatement. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $1.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $3.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

    As part of the remediation activities that followed the Original Restatement, the Company expanded its procedures in the second quarter of 2014 to validate the existence of field inventory held by independent sales representatives and noted that, in many cases, this inventory had higher rates of missing inventory (“shrinkage”) than previously estimated. To determine whether these higher error rates were pervasive across its field inventory, the Company counted approximately 90% of its field inventory during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2014. These counts resulted in the identification of errors relating to previous estimates of shrinkage. Adjustments in the Further Restatement to correct these errors, net of the related effect on previously recorded excess and obsolete inventory reserves, resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $0.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

    In connection with its remediation efforts associated with the material weakness noted in the Original Restatement related to inventory reserves, including performing a hindsight analysis of previously established reserves, the Company concluded that it was not appropriately calculating inventory reserves, including its consideration of demand assumptions for “kits”, which contain a variety of “piece part” components to be used during surgery as well as inventory held by third parties under inventory purchase obligations. Adjustments to correct this error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $3.2 million, $1.5 million and $0.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as well as an increase to cost of sales of $2.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

In addition to the adjustments described above, the Company is correcting certain other items. The impact of correcting these items results in a decrease to income tax expense of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to correct an income tax payable error that was recorded during the Original Restatement; these adjustments are separate from the tax effect of the errors described above

In the aggregate, the remaining additional adjustments resulted in a decrease to loss before income taxes of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease to income before income taxes of $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and a increase to loss before income taxes of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as well as a decrease to loss before income taxes of $1.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of the Original Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our then-Interim Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As described below, as of December 31, 2013, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our remediation efforts with respect to these weaknesses are continuing. As a result of these ongoing material weaknesses, our President and Chief Executive Officer and then-Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded at that time that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2014.

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the filing of the Original Form 10-Q in May 2014 and in connection with the preparation and filing of the Further Restatement and this Form 10-Q/A, our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our current Interim Chief Financial Officer (who was not employed by the Company at the time of the filing of the Original Form 10-Q), re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This re-evaluation confirmed that the material weaknesses described in the Original Form 10-Q continue to be material weaknesses as of the time of the re-evaluation, and that some of these same material weaknesses contributed to the Further Restatement. In addition, the re-evaluation concluded that two additional material weaknesses existed related to (i) the calculation of our accounts receivable reserve, and (ii) the oversight of field inventory held by our independent sales representatives, which also contributed to the Further Restatement. As a result our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer re-affirmed the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2014.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the preparation and filing of the Original 2013 Form 10-K in March 2014, our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our then-Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the framework set forth in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (September 1992)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Based on its evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that, because of certain material weaknesses described below, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2014.

In connection with the preparation and filing of the Further Restatement and the 2013 Form 10-K/A, the Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our current Chief Financial Officer (who was not employed by the Company at the time of the filing of the Original 2013 Form 10-K in March 2014 or the Original Form 10-Q in May 2014), has re-evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. This re-evaluation confirmed that the material weaknesses described in the Original 2013 Form 10-K continue to be material weaknesses as of the time of the re-evaluation, and that some of these same material weaknesses contributed to the Further Restatement. In addition, the re-evaluation concluded that two additional material weaknesses existed related to (i) the calculation of our accounts receivable reserve, and (ii) the oversight of field inventory held by our independent sales representatives, which also contributed to the Further Restatement. As a result, current management continues to conclude that, because of the material weaknesses described below, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013.

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting described above, our management has identified the following deficiencies that it believes constituted individually, and in the aggregate, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013:

 

    Revenue recognition practices for sales with distributors. In connection with the Independent Review and the Original Restatement, we concluded that we recognized revenue in certain instances in advance of all revenue recognition criteria being met, and that our controls were not effective to reasonably ensure accurate recognition of revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP for certain distributor sales transactions previously recorded by the Company’s domestic and international business units. In general, we did not establish and maintain procedures throughout the Company to reasonably ensure proper communication to, and assessment by, the Company’s finance and accounting department of deviations from contractually established terms, which included written or unwritten arrangements made with, or extra-contractual terms provided to, Company distributors at the onset of the sale regarding extended payment terms, product return or exchange rights, and similar concessions agreed to subsequent to the initial sale (which were not memorialized by any formal contractual amendment). Such additional terms were not evaluated, or not evaluated correctly, and were not maintained or reflected in Company customer sales files. In addition, Company personnel were not adequately trained with respect to certain revenue recognition principles applicable under U.S. GAAP that may have led to appropriate consideration of the additional terms entered into outside of the written contractual terms.

 

    Accounts receivable reserves. In connection with our internal control remediation activities that followed the Original Restatement, we expanded our procedures of analyzing collections of accounts receivable to ensure accounts receivable included an appropriate reserve for estimated uncollectible amounts. We concluded the Company had incorrectly considered certain deferred revenue amounts when calculating the estimated reserves. Specifically, the computation of the contractual allowances and bad debt allowances, which serves to adjust accounts receivable to the estimated collectible amount, assumed that some percentage of deferred amounts would be collected, rather than deferring the entire amount. In connection with these additional procedures, we believe the errors identified indicate that the controls relating to the prior accounts receivable reserve process and calculations were insufficiently designed to detect a material misstatement.

 

    Inventory reserves. In connection with the Independent Review and the Original Restatement, we concluded that errors occurred in establishing the Company’s inventory reserves due to a design deficiency in our controls over the computation and recording of such reserves. Our method of calculating inventory reserves resulted in the misapplication of U.S. GAAP, which caused us to make adjustments in the restated consolidated financial statements. Specifically, our controls were not designed to detect that increases in our forecasted demand for products which resulted in reductions in subsequent fiscal years to reserves previously recorded. ASC Topic 330 Inventory (specifically ASC 330-10-35-14) states that a write-down of inventory to the lower-of-cost-or-market value at the close of a fiscal year creates a new cost basis that subsequently should not be marked up based on changes in underlying circumstances, and our controls were not designed to prevent such mark ups due to increases in forecasted demand for products. Additionally, in the Further Restatement, we concluded our controls were not adequately designed to ensure that we were accurately calculating excess inventory reserves based on the consideration of overall demand assumptions and for components of “kit” inventory, which is primarily held by our independent sales representatives. Additionally, our controls were not appropriately designed to ensure that when determining needed inventory reserves, we considered inventory held by third parties under inventory purchase obligations.

    Inventory existence. In connection with our internal control remediation activities that followed the Original Restatement, we expanded our procedures to validate the existence of field inventory held by independent sales representatives. In connection with these additional procedures, we identified errors which we believe indicate that the controls relating to the prior inventory counts performed were insufficiently designed to detect a material misstatement.

 

    Foreign subsidiary oversight. In connection with the Independent Review and the Original Restatement, we concluded that our oversight of certain foreign subsidiaries was insufficiently designed to detect material misstatements of financial information. Specifically, while these entities were included in oversight activities similar to our other locations, we believe the design of our controls did not adequately address the additional risks associated with certain entities. These additional risks include: sales comprised of higher risk distributor revenues; no specific requirements for statutory audits that may detect inadequacies in the Company’s customer and business records; and a business culture where oral agreements were more common, resulting in contract terms that were less likely to be formally documented.

 

    Manual journal entry control procedures. In connection with the completion of the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we determined that our controls over manual journal entries were not effective. Specifically, we determined that some manual journal entries were not supported with sufficient documentation and were not adequately or timely reviewed and approved; nor were there sufficient procedures to ensure entries recorded to a subsidiary at the corporate level in consolidation were recorded in the appropriate periods once subsequently recognized on the local subsidiary ledgers.

Some of the material weaknesses described above resulted in material misstatements in our annual and interim consolidated financial statements, which were corrected in the Original Restatement and the Further Restatement, respectively. Because of the foregoing matters, our management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014.

Plans for Remediation

Our management has worked, and continues to work, to strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in connection with the material weaknesses that have been described above. We intend to continue taking measures, including engaging outside professionals, as may be necessary and advisable, to assist us as we continue to address and rectify the foregoing material weaknesses. Since the filing of the Original Restatement, the Company has better aligned its current finance department staff, both domestically and internationally, to enhance the review and oversight of the accounting and finance functions. The Company has also added several key positions in its finance department, including director level roles in corporate accounting, U.S. accounting, and technical accounting. The Company continues to implement the remediation plans described herein. These remediation efforts are being undertaken under the supervision of the Audit Committee, including a new Chair of the Audit Committee, who joined the Board in April 2014 as a newly appointed independent director.

We are committed to maintaining an effective control environment and making changes necessary to enhance effectiveness. This commitment has been, and will continue to be, communicated to and reinforced throughout our organization. As part of this commitment, we are implementing an internal audit program that takes into account the nature of our business and the geographies in which we conduct it. We have also updated our code of conduct, and all our employees are required to annually acknowledge their commitment to adhering to its provisions. We have also informed all new employees and regularly remind all existing employees of the availability of our compliance hotline, through which employees at all levels can anonymously submit information or express concerns regarding accounting, financial reporting and other irregularities they may have become aware of or observed.

We are in the process of implementing and continuing to refine the plan for remediation of the ineffective internal control over financial reporting described above. In addition, we have designed and are implementing the specific remediation initiatives described below:

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over revenue recognition practices relating to the Company’s distributors:

 

    We have enhanced our revenue recognition training materials for all sales personnel;

 

    We have conducted training of sales personnel (including senior-level management) pursuant to our updated revenue recognition training materials;

 

    We have created and implemented an improved sales certification process to identify any sales with deviations from written sales contracts;

 

    We have added key personnel within our finance department, which we believe will bring additional revenue recognition expertise to address our more complex revenue transactions to help ensure that our revenue recognition policies are correctly applied; and

    We are working to improve procedures with respect to the proper communication, approval, documentation and accounting review of deviations from written sales contracts.

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over the calculation of the Company’s accounts receivable reserves:

 

    We have enhanced the calculation and review of our accounts receivable reserves, including enhancing our model to incorporate separate consideration of deferred revenue for co-pay when calculating estimated reserves;

 

    We have enhanced the account reporting structure within our general ledger system to provide increased transparency of deferred revenue versus contractual allowances; and

 

    We have added key personnel within our finance department, which we believe will bring additional deferred revenue co-pay and accounts receivable reserves expertise.

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over the computation and recording of the Company’s inventory reserves:

 

    We have enhanced controls over our model for determining inventory reserves to ensure that, once reserves are established in a fiscal year, subsequent write-ups based on demand are not recognized; and

 

    We have enhanced the calculation and review of our inventory reserve analysis, including enhancing our model to capture demand considerations at the component level rather than the aggregated “kit” level, and increasing the involvement of both finance and operational personnel, which we expect to provide better controls to assess excess and obsolete inventory based on the current inventory on hand in relation to the demand forecast and related reserves.

 

    We have implemented new procedures and controls to determine and verify for each period the amounts of inventory purchase obligations with third parties to assess if such amounts are considered excess amounts warranting reserve.

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over existence of field inventory at independent sales rep locations:

 

    We have enhanced and expanded the extent of our physical inventory count procedures to require all piece parts, including those contained within kits, held by independent sales representatives be counted at least annually, in order to thoroughly and timely verify the existence of field inventory.

 

    We have engaged a third party with relevant industry experience to assist in the completion of these expanded procedures, conducted physical counts of Spine Fixation device inventory held on consignment with distributors and hospital customers, and adjusted our inventory reserves to reflect the results of counts the Company completed during 2014 as part of this remediation.

 

    We have also updated and enhanced our inventory management practices and review procedures for such consigned inventory.

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over foreign subsidiary oversight:

 

    We have changed our structure so that all of our foreign subsidiaries’ accounting functions now report to the VP of International Accounting, who then, along with our domestic subsidiaries’ accounting functions, report to the VP, Controller within the corporate accounting function, which enhances the review of, and provides additional corporate-level oversight of, their activities;

 

    We have established and hired a Director of Controls and Process Improvement position, whose primary duties are the design and implementation of processes and procedures to strengthen internal control over financial reporting;

 

    We have engaged a professional firm to perform testing and evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and to assist the Company in designing and implementing additional financial reporting controls and financial reporting control enhancements; and

 

    We are evaluating our accounting systems to determine appropriate enhancements, and a plan is being executed that includes upgrading accounting systems at foreign locations.

Management’s remediation plan with respect to controls over manual journal entries:

 

    We have implemented a new accounting policy setting forth specific requirements regarding supporting documentation standards and review and approval procedures for manual journal entries, including specifying the types and levels of review to be performed based on specifically defined criteria associated with the nature and magnitude of manual journal entries; and

 

    We have designed and conducted training for the accounting group regarding manual journal entry preparation, documentation and timely review and approval procedures, along with enhancing procedures over subsequently recording journal entries made at the corporate level into the Company’s subsidiary general ledgers to ensure such amounts are recorded within the appropriate periods.

        We believe the remediation steps outlined above, which in some cases have already been implemented, have improved and will continue to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, we have not completed all of the corrective processes and procedures identified above. Accordingly, as we continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses described above, we will perform additional procedures prescribed by management, including the use of manual mitigating control procedures, and will employ any additional tools and resources deemed necessary to provide assurance that our financial statements continue to be fairly stated in all material respects. As our management continues to evaluate and work to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address these deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
