Note 6 - Sale of Ideas for Medicine, Inc. Product Line
On September 30, 1998 the Company closed the sale of the product line and
certain related assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ideas for Medicine, Inc.,
a Florida corporation ("IFM"), to Horizon Medical Products, Inc. ("Horizon"),
for $15 million in cash. The IFM product line consists of speciality
cardiovascular and vascular medical instruments and devices. The sale was made
pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. IFM and Horizon also signed a
manufacturing agreement on September 30, 1998 which provides for the manufacture
by IFM of a specified minimum dollar amount of products from the IFM product
line to be purchased exclusively by Horizon over each of the next four years.
Thereafter, the responsibility for such manufacturing will be assumed by
Horizon.
The Company established a deferred revenue balance at the transaction date
totaling $2,950,000 which amount represents the selling price less the net book
value of the assets sold and the costs related to the sale. Such amount will be
amortized into cost of goods sold over the four year life of the manufacturing
agreement.
Note 7 - Subsequent Events
On October 14, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of
up to 1 million shares of its common stock. The purchase of shares will be made
from time to time in open market or privately-negotiated transactions on such
terms as management deems appropriate. As of November 9, 1998, the Company has
purchased 188,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$1,843,000.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Preservation and product revenues increased 9% to $15.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 from $14.6 million for the same period in 1997.
Preservation and product revenues increased 22% to $45.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from $37.6 million for the same period in 1997.
The increase in revenues was primarily due to the growing acceptance in the
medical community of cryopreserved tissues which has resulted in increased
demand, the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue, price
increases for certain preservation services and revenues attributable to the
Company's line of single-use devices following the Ideas for Medicine, Inc.
("IFM") acquisition in March 1997.
Revenues from IFM decreased 10% to $1.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997, representing 10% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues during such
periods. This decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to a 3% decrease
in IFM shipments due to a decrease in demand and a decrease in average selling
price due to competitive pricing pressures and a change in the product mix for
the three months ended September 30, 1998. Revenues from IFM increased 22% to
$4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, representing 10% of total revenues
during such periods. This increase in revenues is due to the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 having two extra months of IFM revenue than the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 due to the IFM acquisition closing on March 5, 1997.
Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services decreased
2% to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $8.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, representing 53% and 59%,
respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This decrease was primarily
due to a decrease in average selling price resulting from a change in the
product mix, partially offset by a 1% increase in the number of heart allograft
shipments for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Revenues from human
heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services increased 7% to $23.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $22.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, representing 52% and 59%, respectively, of
total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due
to a 7% increase in the number of heart allograft shipments for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, respectively, due to an increased demand and the
Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue partially offset by the
decrease in average selling price as discussed above.
Revenues from human vascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 27% to
$3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $2.7 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997, representing 21% and 19%,
respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from human
vascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 35% to $10.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $7.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, representing 23% and 21%, respectively, of total revenues
during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 25% and a
34% increase in the number of vascular allograft shipments for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, due to an increased
demand and the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue.
Revenues from human connective tissue cryopreservation services increased 36% to
$1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997, representing 12% and 9%,
respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from human
connective tissue cryopreservation services increased 65% to $5.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, representing 12% and 9%, respectively, of total
revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a
16% and an 55% increase in the number of allograft shipments for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, due to increased
demand and the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue.
Additional revenue increases have resulted from a greater proportion of the 1998
shipments consisting of cryopreserved menisci, which have a significantly higher
per unit revenue than the Company's cryopreserved tendons and price increases
for the cryopreservation of menisci and tendons.
Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices increased 37% to $243,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $177,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, representing 2% and 1%, respectively, of total
revenues during each such periods. Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular
devices increased 59% to $660,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
from $414,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, representing 1% of
total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due
to a 31% and an 61% increase in the number of bioprosthetic cardiovascular
device shipments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, due to increased manufacturing capacity.
Revenues from BioGlue(R) were $367,000 and $582,000 for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. The Company is currently
introducing the product in the European market as well as in other selected
overseas markets. Shipments began in April of 1998.
Grant revenues increased to $168,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1998 from $0 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Grant revenues
increased to $305,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $28,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase in grant revenues is
primarily attributable to the SynerGraft(R) research and development programs.
Other income increased to $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998
from $71,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Other income
increased to $970,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $185,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Other income in 1998 relates
primarily to proceeds from the sale of the Company's port product line.
Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated $6.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $5.1 million for the
corresponding period in 1997, representing 40% and 35%, respectively, of total
cryopreservation and product revenues in each period. Cost of cryopreservation
services and products aggregated $18.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, compared to $13.1 million, respectively, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, representing 39% and 35% of total cryopreservation and
product revenues, respectively. Cost of cryopreservation services and products
increased 23% for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of
1997. The increase in 1998 of the cost of cryopreservation services and products
as a percentage of revenues results from a lesser portion of 1998 revenues being
derived from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services which carry
a significantly higher gross margins than other cryopreservation services, from
increased manufacturing overhead costs associated with the Company's new
manufacturing facilities and from the inclusion in 1998 of nine months of IFM's
sales, which generate lower gross margins than cryopreservation services,
compared with seven months of IFM sales in the first nine months of 1997.
General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 12% to $6.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $5.6 million for the
corresponding period in 1997, representing 40% and 39%, respectively, of total
cryopreservation and product revenues in each period. General, administrative
and marketing expenses increased 18% to $18.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, compared to $15.3 million for the corresponding period in
1997, representing 39% and 41%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and
product revenues in each period. The increase in expenditures in 1998 resulted
from expenses incurred to support the increase in revenues and costs associated
with the introduction of BioGlue into the European community.
Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, and 1997, representing 7% and 9%, respectively, of total
cryopreservation and product revenues for each period. Research and development
expenses increased 16% to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, compared to $3.0 million for the corresponding period in 1997,
representing 7% and 8%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product
revenues for each period. Research and development spending relates principally
to the Company's focus on its bioadhesives and SynerGraft technologies.
Net interest income was $373,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998
compared to net interest expense of $316,000 for the corresponding period in
1997. Net interest income was $264,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 compared to net interest expense $736,000 for the corresponding period in
1997. This decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 is due to the repayment of certain indebtedness with the
proceeds from the follow-on equity offering completed in April 1998, as well as
the conversion of a portion of a convertible debenture into common stock of the
Company, and the receipt of interest income on the invested proceeds from the
Offering.
The decline in the effective income tax rate to 34% from 38% for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and to 35% from 38% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, is due to the
implementation of certain income tax planning strategies.
Seasonality
The demand for the Company's human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation
services is seasonal, with peak demand generally occurring in the second and
third quarters. Management believes that this demand trend for human heart valve
and conduit cryopreservation services is primarily due to the high number of
pediatric surgeries scheduled during the summer months. Management believes that
the trends experienced by the Company to date for its human connective tissue
for the knee cryopreservation services indicate that this business may also be
seasonal because it is an elective procedure that may be performed less
frequently during the fourth quarter holiday months. However, the demand for the
Company's human vascular tissue cryopreservation services, bioprosthetic
cardiovascular devices and single-use medical devices does not appear to
experience this seasonal trend. Additionally, based on the current approved
indications for BioGlue, management does not anticipate the demand for BioGlue
to experience a seasonal trend.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1998, net working capital was $67.4 million, compared to $18.8
million at December 31, 1997, with a current ratio of 8 to 1. The Company's
primary capital requirements arise out of general working capital needs, capital
expenditures for facilities and equipment, funding of research and development
projects and a common stock repurchase plan approved by the board of directors
in October of 1998. The Company historically has funded these requirements
through bank credit facilities, cash generated by operations and equity
offerings.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $832,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase primarily
resulted from: 1) an increase in net income, 2) an increase in payables due to
construction projects, and 3) a decrease in the growth of deferred preservation
cost due to more stringent inventory management policies, partially offset by 1)
an increase in receivables related to the increase in revenues, 2) an increase
in prepaids and other assets resulting from the note receivable from the sale of
the IFM port line and other miscellaneous deposits, and 3) the establishment of
a deferred tax asset in conjunction with the sale of the remaining IFM product
line.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, as compared to net cash used in investing activities
of $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was
primarily attributable to the absence of a business acquisition during the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997, during which the
Company acquired IFM, coupled with the net proceeds from the sale of the IFM
product line as of September 30, 1998.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $33.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $8.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to proceeds of
$45.4 million from the Offering, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings
on the Company's bank loans, and accrued interest thereon, totaling $13.3
million.
In October 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment
banking firm to provide financial advisory services related to a potential
private placement of equity or equity-oriented securities to form a subsidiary
company for the commercial development of its serine proteinase light activation
(FibRx(R)) technologies. This strategy will allow the Company to fund the FibRx
technology in a subsidiary company and should expedite the commercial
development of its blood clot dissolving and surgical sealant product
applications without additional R&D expenditures by the Company. This strategy,
if successful, will favorably impact the Company's liquidity going forward.
The Company anticipates that the net proceeds from the Offering, proceeds from
the sale of the IFM product lines, and cash generated from operations will be
sufficient to meet its operating and development needs for at least the next 12
months. However, the Company's future liquidity and capital requirements beyond
that period will depend upon numerous factors, including the timing of the
Company's receipt of FDA approvals to begin clinical trials for its products
currently in development, the resources required to further develop its
marketing and sales capabilities if, and when, those products gain approval, the
resources required to expand manufacturing capacity and the extent to which the
Company's products generate market acceptance and demand. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not require additional financing or will not
seek to raise additional funds through bank facilities, debt or equity offerings
or other sources of capital to meet future requirements. These additional funds
may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Year 2000
The Company is aware of the issues that many companies will face as the year
2000 approaches. In order to become year 2000 compliant, the Company has set up
a project team to address the issue and has taken the following steps:
Impact Assessment: The Company has identified potential year 2000 issues and the
associated potential risks. The Company has assessed the impact of the year 2000
issue and believes that its business products and services will not be
significantly impacted. Additionally, the Company has determined that, with the
exception of the Company's clinical tracking database, all of the Company's
financial and operational applications have been upgraded to or replaced with
year 2000 compliant software.
Third Party Impact Assessments: The Company has begun to verify the readiness of
its significant suppliers through the distribution of a questionnaire. This
process is estimated to be complete by January 1, 1999. The Company does not
anticipate that a lack of compliance of the vendors will significantly affect
the Company's daily operations.
Project Plan: The Company began its compliance strategy in October 1997. With
the exception of the clinical tracking database, all of the "off the shelf"
software packages have been upgraded to compliant releases. Older internally
developed software has been replaced with new systems that are year 2000
compliant. The remaining clinical tracking system will be internally rewritten,
and implemented by first quarter 1999. The Company estimates that all
modifications and testing for year 2000 issues will be completed at a cost of
less than $50,000 including expenditures to date.
Contingency Plan: The principal risk the Company faces is a delay in the
implementation of the new clinical tracking system. Although the clinical
tracking system is not critical to the day-to-day operations of the Company, it
is important for FDA compliance regarding follow-up procedures after transplant.
A delay in the implementation of the new clinical tracking system would result
in the Company having to rely on its paper support for required FDA data.
Although the Company is uncertain what the costs associated with a delay would
be or the related impact on operations, liquidity and financial condition, the
Company does not expect the impact to be material. The Company expects to have a
contingency plan completed by March 15, 1999.
The Company believes that it is diligently addressing the year 2000 issue and
expects that through its actions, year 2000 problems are not reasonably likely
to have a material adverse effect on its operations. However, there can be no
assurance that such problems will not arise.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"). The Company
adopted Statement 130 January 1, 1998. Due to the immateriality of the Company's
elements of comprehensive income, such adoption had no effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 that
state the Company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or
predictions of the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is important to note
that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those contained
in such forward-looking statements as a result of adverse changes in any of a
number of factors that affect the Company's business, including without
limitation, (1) the effects on the Company of year 2000 issues including
unanticipated expenses in connection therewith, (2) the Company's ability to
find an equity investor in the FibRx technology and the impact of such an
investment on the Company's liquidity, (3) government regulation of the
Company's business, (4) the Company's competitive position, (5) the availability
of tissue for implant, (6) the status of the Company's products under
development, (7) the protection of the Company's proprietary technology and (8)
the reimbursement of health care costs by third-party payors. See the
"Business-Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997 for a more detailed discussion of these and
other factors which might affect the Company's future performance.
Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Discussion About Market Risk.
The Company's interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the
general level of U.S. interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest
rates affect the interest earned on the Company's cash equivalents and
short-term investments as well as interest paid on its debt. To mitigate the
impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Company generally maintains
80% to 90% of its debt as fixed rate in nature. As a result, the Company is
subject to a risk that interest rates will decrease and the Company may be
unable to refinance its debt.
