ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 2, 2006, Natus Medical Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release and held a conference call regarding its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 ended March 31, 2006 and other financial information. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and a copy of the conference call transcript is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The press release and conference call transcript contain forward-looking statements regarding the Company and include cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

During the aforementioned earnings conference call, James B. Hawkins, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, provided certain updates to the Company’s guidance for its financial results for the second and third quarter of 2006 and for the full year. In response to a question from one of the participants on the call, Mr. Hawkins provided estimated annual earnings per share for fiscal 2006 on a non-GAAP basis. The table below contains supplemental information regarding the Company’s estimated annual earnings per share. This financial information is a non-GAAP financial measure. The reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure is as follows:

 

     Low Range of
Guidance*
    High Range of
Guidance*
 

Non-GAAP income before tax (1)

   $ 11,200     $ 12,300  

Additional non-GAAP Adjustments:

    

Equity based compensation

     1,600       1,600  

Provision for income tax at 15%

     (1,920 )     (2,085 )
                

Non-GAAP net income

   $ 10,880     $ 11,815  
                

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share

   $ 0.53     $ 0.58  
                

Weighted average shares used in computing diluted earnings per share

     20,450       20,450  
                

* In thousands except per share amounts
(1) The range of guidance for income before tax of $11.2 million to $12.3 million is a non-GAAP measure because it excludes a $5.9 million charge for in-process research and development that was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2006. We believe that the information presented in the table is useful to investors as it will assist them in reconciling the guidance provided on May 2, 2006 for the full year 2006 with guidance that had previously been provided for the year.
