UROPLASTY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results
for a full year. These condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended March 31, 2005.
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein as of September 30, 2005 and for
the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 reflect, in the opinion of
management, all material adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim periods.
We have identified certain accounting policies that we consider particularly important for the
portrayal of our results of operations and financial position and which may require the application
of a higher level of judgment by our management, and as a result are subject to an inherent level
of uncertainty. These are characterized as critical accounting policies and address revenue
recognition, inventories, foreign currency translation and transactions, and impairment of
long-lived assets, each of which is more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended March 31, 2005. Based upon our review, we have determined that these policies
remain our most critical accounting policies for the three and six-month periods ended September
30, 2005, and have made no changes to these policies during fiscal 2006.
2. Nature of Business, Sales of Common Stock and Corporate Liquidity
The majority of our products are sold primarily outside of the United States and we continue to
pursue regulatory approvals to market our products in the United States. We anticipate increasing
our sales and marketing activities in the U.S. once we obtain such approvals. The FDA approval
process can be costly, lengthy and uncertain.
In March 2005, we entered into a business loan agreement with Venture Bank, pursuant to which we
may borrow up to $500,000 on a revolving basis. All amounts, which the bank advances to us, are
due in March 2006, unless the bank renews the agreement. Amounts advanced to us accrue interest at
a variable rate of 1% in excess of the published prime rate in the Wall Street Journal, with a
minimum rate of 6% per annum. We are obligated to pay interest monthly on the outstanding
principal balance. Advances under this agreement are secured by substantially all our assets. At
September 30, 2005 we had no outstanding balance under the agreement.
In April 2005, we conducted a private placement of common stock in which we sold 2,147,142 shares
of our common stock at a price per share of $3.50, together with warrants to purchase 1,180,928
shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.5 million. The stock
sale proceeds are offset by costs of approximately $777,000, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $6.7 million. The warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of
$4.75 per share.
We believe that our current resources, funds generated from sale of our products outside the U.S.
along with existing bank arrangements and the proceeds received from the recently completed private
placement will be adequate to meet our cash flow needs, including regulatory activities associated
with existing products, through fiscal 2006. Ultimately, we will need to achieve profitability and
positive cash flows from operations to fund our operations and grow our business beyond fiscal
2006.

7. Shareholders Equity
Consulting Agreements
On April 1, 2003, we executed a consulting agreement with CCRI Corporation (CCRI) to provide
investor relations and development services. We pay CCRI a monthly fee of $4,000 plus expenses.
CCRI received 35,000 shares of fully vested restricted common stock, and vested warrants to
purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, and received vested
warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share on
November 2, 2003. We fully amortized the fair value of the common stock and warrants in fiscal
2004. On April 1, 2005, we extended the agreement for one year. The monthly fee of $4,000 plus
expenses remained the same.
Warrants
As a result of our suspension of the exercise of the 706,218 warrants originally issued in July
2002, we granted a like number of new common stock purchase warrants to the holders of the expired
warrants, in April 2005. The new warrants will be exercisable at $2.00 per share for 90 days after
the effective date of a new registration statement covering the shares underlying these warrants.
In April 2005, we recognized a liability of $1.4 million associated with the grant of these new
warrants. We have reported a year-to-date net warrant benefit of approximately $15,000 due to the
decrease in the fair value of these warrants since April 2005.
Page 9
8. Stock-based Compensation
We apply the intrinsic-value method to account for employee stock-based compensation. As such,
compensation expense, if any, is recorded on the date of grant if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.
We account for stock-based instruments granted to non-employees under the fair value method of
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or
in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. Under Statement No. 123, we record options at their
fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the vesting date.
Had we determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for our stock options
issued to employees under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, our net loss and per
share amounts would have increased to the pro forma amounts shown below:

9. Savings and Retirement Plans
We sponsor various plans for eligible employees in the United States, the United Kingdom (UK), and
The Netherlands. Our retirement savings plan in the United States conforms to Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code and participation is available to substantially all employees. We may also
make discretionary contributions ratably to all eligible employees. We made no contributions in
association with these plans in the United States for the three- and six-month periods ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Our international subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans for eligible employees. These
plans provide benefits based on each employees years of service and compensation during the years
immediately preceding retirement, termination, disability, or death, as defined in the plans. We
invest pension plan assets in insurance contracts. We closed the defined benefit plan in The
Netherlands for new employees effective April 2005. As of that date, our Dutch subsidiary
established a defined contribution plan. We froze our UK subsidiarys defined benefit plan on
December 31, 2004. On March 10, 2005, our UK subsidiary established a defined contribution plan.

We translate all assets and liabilities using period-end exchange rates. We translate statements
of operations items using average exchange rates for the period. We record the resulting
translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of
shareholders equity. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses in our
consolidated statements of operations, including unrealized gains and losses on short-term
intercompany obligations using period-end exchange rates. We recognize unrealized gains and losses
on long-term intercompany obligations within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate
component of shareholders equity.
We recognize exchange gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates
between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the euro and British pound
(currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated intercompany
obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are revolving in
nature and are not deemed to be long-term balances. For the three-months ended September 30, 2005
and 2004, we recognized foreign currency losses of $7,206 and $4,675, respectively. For the
six-months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we recognized foreign currency losses of $8,405 and
$14,086, respectively.
11. Income Tax Expense
During the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, our Dutch subsidiaries recorded income tax
benefits of $34,314 and $14,230, respectively. For the six-months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004, our Dutch subsidiaries recorded income tax expense of $2,706 and $52,229, respectively. We
cannot use our U.S. net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income in foreign
jurisdictions.

12. Business Segment Information
We sell proprietary products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions. Our primary product is
Macroplastique®, a soft tissue bulking material, used for the treatment of urinary incontinence and
vesicoureteral reflux. In addition, we market our soft tissue bulking material for additional
indications, including for the treatment of vocal cord rehabilitation, fecal incontinence and soft
tissue facial augmentation. At this time, all sales for the tissue bulking agent products are
outside the United States. Our Macroplastique product line accounted for 70% and 78% of total net
sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In August 2005, we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) premarket clearance of our
I-Stop polypropylene, tension-free, mid-urethral sling for the treatment of female urinary
incontinence. We distribute this product in the United States and the United Kingdom. In October
2005, we received U.S. FDA 510(k) premarket clearance of our Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System, the
only minimally invasive nerve stimulation device designed for office-based treatment of overactive
bladder symptoms of urge incontinence, urinary urgency and urinary frequency. We anticipate a
November 2005 sales launch in the United States, Europe and Canada for the Urgent PC device. The
Urgent PC is also indicated for the treatment of fecal incontinence outside the United States. In
addition, we sell specialized wound care products in The Netherlands and United Kingdom as a
distributor.
Based upon the above, we operate in only one reportable segment consisting of medical products
primarily for the urology market.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We recommend that you read this Report on Form 10-QSB in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2005.
Forward-looking Statements
We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements, including our
statements contained in this filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our reports
to stockholders, as well as elsewhere. Forward-looking statements are statements such as those
contained in projections, plans, objectives, estimates, statements of future economic performance,
and assumptions related to any of the foregoing, and may be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology, such as may, expect, anticipate, estimate, goal, continue,
or other comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to
known and unknown risks and uncertainties relating to our future performance that may cause our
actual results, performance, or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements. Any such statement is qualified by
reference to the following cautionary statements.
Our business operates in highly competitive markets and is subject to changes in general economic
conditions, competition, customer and market preferences, government regulation, the impact of tax
regulation, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the degree of market acceptance of products, the
uncertainties of potential litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed elsewhere
herein and from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
In this filing, the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Various factors and risks (not all
of which are identifiable at this time) could cause our results, performance, or achievements to
differ materially from that contained in our forward-looking statements, and investors are
cautioned that any forward-looking statement contained herein or elsewhere is qualified by and
subject to the warnings and cautionary statements contained above and in our other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
We do not undertake, nor assume obligation, to update any forward-looking statement that we may
make from time to time.
Overview
We are a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative, proprietary
products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions. We have developed, and are developing,
minimally invasive products primarily for the treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence and
overactive bladder symptoms.
Our primary product is Macroplastique, a soft tissue bulking material, used for the treatment of
urinary incontinence and vesicoureteral reflux. In addition, we market our soft tissue bulking
material for additional indications, including for the treatment of vocal cord rehabilitation,
fecal incontinence and soft tissue facial augmentation. We have received CE marking for European
market clearance on all tissue bulking products we currently sell. At this time, all sales for the
tissue bulking agent products are outside the United States in approximately 40 countries,
including Europe, Canada, Australia and Latin America.
In August 2005, we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) premarket clearance of our
I-Stop polypropylene, tension-free, mid-urethral sling for the treatment of female urinary
incontinence. We distribute this product in the United States and the United Kingdom. In October
2005, we received U.S. FDA 510(k) premarket clearance of our Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System, the
only minimally invasive nerve stimulation device designed for office-based treatment of overactive
bladder symptoms of urge incontinence, urinary urgency and urinary frequency. We anticipate a
November 2005 sales launch in the United States, Europe and Canada for the Urgent PC device. The
Urgent PC is also indicated for the treatment of fecal incontinence outside the United States. In
addition, we sell specialized wound care products in The Netherlands and United Kingdom as a
distributor.
Our goal is to develop and commercialize a portfolio of minimally invasive products for the
treatment of voiding dysfunctions. We believe that, with a suite of innovative products, we can
increasingly garner the attention of key physicians and distributors and enhance market acceptance
of our products. The key elements of our strategy are to:
|
|
|
Pursue regulatory approval in the U.S. for our Macroplastique product line. |
Page 13
|
|
|
Successfully market and sell Urgent PC and I-Stop products by building our own U.S.
marketing and sales organization, using a combination of direct and independent sales
representatives; |
|
|
|
|
Expand distribution of our products outside of the U.S.; and |
|
|
|
|
Acquire or license complimentary products if appropriate opportunities arise. |
In furtherance of our first key strategy above, we are concluding a multi-center human clinical
trial using Macroplastique in a minimally invasive, office-based procedure for treating adult
female stress urinary incontinence resulting from intrinsic sphincter deficiency. This is the
weakening of the muscles that control the flow of urine from the bladder. We filed a pre-market
approval (PMA) submission with the FDA describing Macroplastique use for this indication. In July
2005, the FDA recommended we conduct further testing, which we expect will delay possible approval
of Macroplastique until late 2007. We will incur substantial expense in connection with these
regulatory activities. For the I-Stop tape, we have an exclusive distribution agreement with the
product manufacturer, CL Medical. We are also responsible for obtaining and/or maintaining FDA and
foreign regulatory approvals for the Urgent PC system.
In the United States, we are currently building our own sales and marketing organization to market
our products directly and support our distributor organizations. We will incur significant
additional expenses to establish this sales and marketing team.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances
that affect amounts reported. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we have made
our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality. We
believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following are particularly important to
the portrayal of our results of operations and financial position. They may require the
application of a higher level of judgment by Uroplasty management, and as a result are subject to
an inherent degree of uncertainty.
Revenue Recognition. We market and distribute our products through a network of distributors and
through direct sales to end-users in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and the United States. We
recognize revenue upon shipment of product to our distributors and direct customers. We have no
customer acceptance provisions or installation obligations. Our sales terms to our distributors and
customers provide no right of return outside of our standard warranty, and payment terms consistent
with industry standards apply. Our respective distribution agreements govern sales terms and
pricing to our distributors. Our distribution partners purchase the Uroplasty products to meet
sales demand of their end-user customers as well as to fulfill their internal requirements
associated with the sales process and, if applicable, contractual purchase requirements under the
respective distribution agreements. Internal and other requirements include purchases of products
for training, demonstration and evaluation purposes, clinical evaluations, product support,
establishing inventories, and meeting minimum purchase commitments. As a result, the level of our
net sales during any period is not necessarily indicative of our distributors sales to end-user
customers during that period. However, during each of the last two years, we believe these two
sales measures were not substantially different. Our distributors level of inventories of our
products, their sales to end-user customers and their internal product requirements may impact our
future revenue growth.
Accounts Receivable. We carry our accounts receivable at the original invoice amount less an
estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts. We
determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on customer financial health, and both
historical and expected credit loss experience. We write off our accounts receivable when we deem
them uncollectible. We record recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off when
received.
Inventories. We state inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out
method. We provide lower of cost or market reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventories based
upon current and expected future product sales and the expected impact of product transitions or
modifications. While we expect our sales to grow, a reduction in sales could reduce the demand for
our products and may require additional inventory reserves.
Foreign
Currency Translation/Transactions. We translate the financial
statements of our foreign subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 52
Foreign Currency Translation. Under this Statement, we translate all assets and liabilities using
period-end exchange rates, and we translate statements of operations items using average exchange
rates for the period. We record the resulting translation adjustment within accumulated other
comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders equity. We recognize foreign currency
transaction gains and losses in the statement of operations, including unrealized gains and losses
on short-term intercompany obligations using
Page 14
period-end exchange
rates, resulting in an increase in the volatility of our consolidated statements of
operations. We
recognize unrealized gains and losses on long-term intercompany obligations within accumulated
other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders equity.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets at September 30, 2005 consist of property, plant
and equipment and intangible assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We
measure the recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If we
consider such assets impaired, we measure the impairment to be recognized by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We report assets to be
disposed of at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Set forth below is managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations for the three and six-months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.
Results of Operations
Three-month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to three-month period ended September 30, 2004
Net Sales: In the second quarter ended September 30, 2005, net sales of all products were $1.6
million, representing a $96,000 or 6% decrease when compared to net sales of $1.7 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2004. Excluding fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we had
a sales decrease of approximately 5%. The Macroplastique product line accounted for 69% and 76% of
total net sales, respectively, for the quarters presented. Two of our former top six distributor
markets, generated minimal sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, due in part to changes in
reimbursement policies. We expect these reimbursement changes to adversely impact our future sales
in those markets. In markets affected by reimbursement issues, we have launched a two-fold strategy
to increase sales of our existing products, and to expand our platform of products for the
treatment of voiding dysfunctions. First, we are conducting training seminars and workshops
targeted to our sales personnel and key incontinence surgeons. Second, we are seeking to broaden
our patient base to include Urgent PC treatment for symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), the
I-Stop sling procedure for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and hypermobility
and PTQ Implants and Urgent PC treatments for fecal incontinence.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended September 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively, or 70% and 72% of net sales in the periods presented. Gross profit as
a percentage of net sales between any one specific individual period fluctuates based on the
following factors: our unit sales, our utilization of manufacturing capacity, the mix of products
sold with different gross margins, the mix of customers (and different discounts to them), the mix
of direct sales versus sales through distributors (with higher margins on direct sales), and
currency fluctuations. Historically, our gross margin has ranged from approximately 70-80% of net
sales.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased from
$508,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to $745,000 during the second quarter of fiscal
2006. The G&A expense increase related to increased salary costs of $100,000, a $90,000 increase in
accounting and legal fees, a $50,000 information technology (IT) consulting expense, a $60,000
increase in shareholders expense, a recruitment expense of $40,000 and general price increases and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The increase was offset by a $145,000 bad debt
reversal related to payments received from our Turkish distributor. We had written off this
receivable in fiscal 2005 when we deemed it to be uncollectible. The increased salary cost relates
to added personnel. The IT consulting expense relates to the expected implementation of a new
computer software system.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses increased from
$586,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to $1,031,000 during the second quarter of fiscal
2006. The increase in R&D expenses related to increased salary costs of $90,000 due to added
personnel, a $220,000 increase in consulting expense mainly due to the development of our new
Urgent PC product, a $205,000 expense related to severance compensation of our former Vice
President of Research and Development and Managing Director of our United Kingdom subsidiary,
general price increases and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Selling and Marketing Expenses: Selling and marketing (S&M) costs increased from $591,000 during
the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to $805,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The
increase resulted from a $100,000 increase in personnel costs, increased recruitment expense,
increase in travel expenses, increased costs relating to trade-shows,
conventions and congresses, and general price increases and fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. The increased personnel cost relates to added personnel.
Page 15
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense,
warrants expense, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating costs when
incurred. Our financial results are subject to material fluctuations based on changes in currency
exchange rates. Other income (expense) was $718,000 and $(613) for the second quarters ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In July 2002, we conducted a rights offering pursuant to which our stockholders purchased certain
units consisting of shares of our common stock and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for
two years at $2.00 per share. However, we suspended the exercise of the warrants when we delayed
the filing of our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. As a
result, 706,218 of the warrants lapsed unexercised at July 31, 2004. In April 2005, we granted a
like number of new common stock purchase warrants to the holders of the expired warrants. The new
warrants will be exercisable at $2.00 per share for 90 days after the effective date of a new
registration statement that we currently plan to file covering the shares underlying these
warrants. In April 2005, we recognized a liability of $1.4 million associated with the grant of
these warrants. We reported a benefit of approximately $671,000 in the second quarter and an
expense of $686,000 in the first quarter due to the changes in the fair value of these warrants at
September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
We recognize exchange gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates
between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the euro and British pound
(currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated short-term
intercompany obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. We recognized foreign currency
losses of $7,206 and $4,675 for the second quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Income Tax Expense: Our Dutch subsidiaries recorded income tax benefit of $34,314 and $14,230 for
the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For fiscal 2006, the Dutch income tax
rate is 27% for 22,689 (approximately $27,000) of profit and 31.5% for amounts above 22,689
compared to 29% and 34.5% in fiscal 2005, respectively.
Six-month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to six-month period ended September 30, 2004
Net Sales: During the six-months ended September 30, 2005, net sales of all products were $3.2
million, representing a $203,000 or 6% decrease when compared to net sales of $3.4 million for the
six-months ended ended September 30, 2004. Excluding fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates, we had a sales decrease of approximately 7%. The Macroplastique product line accounted for
70% and 78% of total net sales, respectively, for the periods presented. In the United Kingdom, we
did not achieve our forecasted rate for converting physician use of competitive sling devices to
our I-Stop product. In addition, two of our former top six distributor markets, generated minimal
sales in the six months ended September 30, 2005, due in part to changes in reimbursement policies.
We expect these reimbursement changes to adversely impact our future sales in those markets. In
markets affected by reimbursement issues, we have launched a two-fold strategy to increase sales of
our existing products, and to expand our platform of products for the treatment of voiding
dysfunctions. First, we are conducting training seminars and workshops targeted to our sales
personnel and key incontinence surgeons. Second, we are seeking to broaden our patient base to
include Urgent PC treatment for symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), the I-Stop sling procedure
for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and hypermobility and PTQ Implants and
Urgent PC treatments for fecal incontinence.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was $2.3 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended September
30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or 72% and 73% of net sales in the periods presented. Gross profit
as a percentage of net sales in any one specific period fluctuates based on the following factors:
our unit sales, our utilization of manufacturing capacity, the mix of products sold with different
gross margins, the mix of customers (and different discounts to them), the mix of direct sales
versus sales through distributors (with higher margins on direct sales), and currency fluctuations.
Historically, the gross margin has ranged from approximately 70-80% of net sales.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased from
$900,000 during the six-months ended September 30, 2004 to $1,435,000 during the same period of
fiscal 2006. The G&A expense increase related to increased salary costs of $260,000, a $150,000
increase in accounting and legal fees, a $120,000 information technology (IT) consulting expense,
a $55,000 increase in shareholders expense, a recruitment expense of $40,000 and general price
increases and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The increase was offset by a
$145,000 bad debt reversal related to payments received from our Turkish distributor. We had
written off this receivable in fiscal 2005 when we deemed it to be uncollectible. The
increased salary cost relates to added personnel. The IT consulting expense relates to the expected
implementation of a new computer software system.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses increased from
$1,166,000 during the six-months ended September 30, 2004 to
$1,661,000 during the six-months ended
September 30, 2005. The increase in R&D expenses related to increased salary costs of $160,000 due
to added personnel, a $225,000 increase in consulting expense mainly due to the development of our
new Urgent PC product, a $205,000 expense related to severance compensation of our former Vice
President of Research and Development and Managing Director of our United Kingdom subsidiary,
general price increases and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset
against a $100,000 decrease in clinical study expense.
Selling
and Marketing Expenses: Selling and marketing (S&M)
costs increased from $1,119,000
during the six-months ended September 30, 2004 to $1,469,000 during the six-months ended September
30, 2005. The increase resulted from a $190,000 increase in personnel costs, increased recruitment
expense, increase in travel expenses, increased costs relating to trade-shows, conventions and
congresses, and general price increases and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The
increased personnel cost relates to added personnel.
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense,
warrants expense, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating costs when
incurred. Our financial results are subject to material fluctuations based on changes in currency
exchange rates. Other income (expense) was $52,690 and ($9,329) for the six-months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively.
In July 2002, we conducted a rights offering pursuant to which our stockholders purchased certain
units consisting of shares of our common stock and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for
two years at $2.00 per share. However, we suspended the exercise of the warrants when we delayed
the filing of our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. As a
result, 706,218 of the warrants lapsed unexercised at July 31, 2004. In April 2005, we granted a
like number of new common stock purchase warrants to the holders of the expired warrants. The new
warrants will be exercisable at $2.00 per share for 90 days after the effective date of a new
registration statement covering the shares underlying these warrants. In April 2005, we recognized
a liability of $1.4 million associated with the grant of these warrants. We reported a net warrant
benefit of $15,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2006, representing the change in the fair
value of these warrants since issuance.
We recognize exchange gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates
between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the euro and British pound
(currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated short-term
intercompany obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. We recognized foreign currency
losses of $8,405 and $14,086 for the six-months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Income Tax Expense: Our Dutch subsidiaries recorded income tax expense of $2,706 and $52,229 for
the six-months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We cannot use the U.S. net
operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income in foreign jurisdictions. In fiscal 2006,
the Dutch income tax rate is 27% for 22,689 (approximately $27,000) of profit and 31.5% for
amounts above 22,689 compared to 29% and 34.5% in fiscal 2005, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2005, our cash and cash equivalent balances totaled $6.0 million.
At September 30, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $5.0 million. During the second
quarter of fiscal 2006, we used $1,828,000 million of cash in operating activities, compared to
$743,000 of cash used in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The usage of cash was primarily
attributable to the net loss incurred of $2,198,000. Inventory increased by $195,000, due to
production planning requirements and manufacturing lead times. Accounts receivable, other current
assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses fluctuated due to the timing of payments and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and weak economic conditions in foreign markets
where we sell and distribute our products could materially affect our financial condition and
results of operations. The effects of these conditions could include reduced unit sales and
reduced sales in dollars when converted from foreign currency amounts and material gains and losses
on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Furthermore, because our U.S. operations are
funded by sales denominated in foreign currency, strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro,
and/or the British pound could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.
Sources of Liquidity. In March 2005, we entered into a business loan agreement with Venture Bank,
pursuant to which we may borrow up to $500,000 on a revolving basis. All amounts which the bank
advances to us are due in March 2006, unless
the bank renews the agreement. Amounts advanced to us accrue interest at a variable rate of 1% in
excess of the published
Page 17
prime rate in the Wall Street Journal, with a minimum rate of 6% per annum.
We are obligated to pay interest monthly on the outstanding principal balance. Advances under
this agreement are secured by substantially all our assets. At September 30, 2005 we had no
outstanding balance under the agreement.
In April 2005, we conducted a private placement of common stock in which we sold 2,147,142 shares
of our common stock at a price per share of $3.50, together with warrants to purchase 1,180,928
shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.5 million. The stock
sale proceeds are offset by costs of approximately $777,000, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $6.7 million. The warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of
$4.75 per share.
In connection with our April 2005 private placement, we agreed to file a registration statement
with the SEC covering the resale of the shares (including those underlying the warrants) that we
sold. We also agreed that, for each month after May 21, 2005, that we failed to file this
registration statement, and for each month after July 20, 2005 that the SEC did not declare it
effective, we would pay liquidated damages at a rate of 1% of the aggregate investment. We filed
the registration statement on July 20, 2005 and the SEC declared it effective on July 29, 2005.
Accordingly, we owe approximately $148,500 of liquidated damages to the investors, which will
continue to accrue interest at 10% per annum until paid. We intend to seek a waiver from the
investors of these liquidated damages, but we cannot assure that all or any of the investors will
grant us this waiver. We recorded a liability in our financial statements beginning in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 related to these liquidated damages.
Commitments and Contingencies. We believe that our current resources, funds generated from sale of
our products along with existing bank arrangements and the proceeds received from the recently
completed private placement will be adequate to meet our cash flow needs, including regulatory
activities associated with existing products, through fiscal 2006. Ultimately, we will need to
achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations to fund our operations and grow our
business beyond fiscal 2006.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs for regulatory activities associated with
obtaining regulatory approval in the United States for Macroplastique. For fiscal 2006, we have
budgeted approximately $4.2 million for our R&D expenses, including those we expect to incur in
connection with the regulatory approval for Macroplastique. We also expect that during fiscal
2006, our selling and marketing expenses will increase as we prepare for the initial U.S. marketing
of our products. In addition, we currently expect general and administrative expenses in fiscal
2006 to increase as we increasingly prepare to implement the provisions of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
In April 2005, we entered into an exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement with
CystoMedix for the Urgent PC product. We paid CystoMedix an initial royalty payment of $225,000,
which we capitalized as licensed technology and are amortizing over the term of the agreement.
Also, we are paying an additional $250,000 in 12 monthly installments of $20,833. We will also pay
CystoMedix a 7% royalty on product sales. However, the 7% royalty is first offset against the
monthly royalty installments.
CystoMedix has also granted us an exclusive option to acquire its assets. The option price is
$3,485,000, reduced by up to $50,000 of liabilities assumed by us. However, the $3,485,000 amount
used to compute the option price will increase at a rate of 10% per year after April 2007. The
option price is payable in shares of our common stock valued at the average of the closing bid
price of our shares for the 20 trading days prior to our exercise of the option. We may exercise
the option between January 2006 and June 2008. If we exercise the option, we will also assume up
to $1.4 million of bridge loan advances made to CystoMedix by its Chairman. We would repay up to
$1.1 million of the bridge loan advances at closing and would issue our common stock for the
balance of the bridge loan based on the above option price. We also have certain rights of first
refusal to acquire CystoMedixs assets in the event CystoMedix receives a third party offer in
advance of any exercise of our option. Depending on our available cash, we might need to raise
additional equity or debt funds in order to consummate the CystoMedix acquisition, should we elect
to do so.
We are obligated to pay royalties of 5% of net sales in the U.S. of Macroplastique products with a
minimum of $50,000 per year. The duration of this royalty agreement is through May 1, 2006. Under
another royalty agreement we pay royalties, in the aggregate, of three to five percent of net sales
of Macroplastique, Bioplastique, and PTQ Implants subject to a monthly minimum of $4,500. The
royalties payable under this agreement will continue until the patent referenced in the agreement
expires in 2010. Under a license agreement for the Macroplastique Implantation System, we pay a
royalty of 10 British pounds for each unit sold during the life of
the patent.
We have a pension plan covering 16 employees in The Netherlands, reported as a defined benefit
plan. We pay premiums to an insurance company to fund annuities for these employees. However, we
are responsible for funding additional annuities based on continued service and future salary
increases. This defined benefit plan is closed for new employees effective April
