The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 5 Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. The Company OraSure Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") develops, manufactures and markets oral specimen collection devices using its proprietary oral fluid technologies, proprietary diagnostic products including in vitro diagnostic tests, and other medical devices. These products are sold in the United States and certain foreign countries to clinical laboratories, physician offices, hospitals, commercial and industrial entities, government agencies, and various distributors. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation. The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for these interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined on a first-in, first-out basis and are comprised of the following: September 30, December 31, 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Raw materials $3,425,060 $2,918,825 Work-in-process 578,092 644,397 Finished goods 580,007 881,550 ---------- ---------- $4,583,159 $4,444,772 ========== ========== Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes product revenues when products are shipped. The Company does not grant price protection or product return rights to its customers, except for warranty returns. Historically, returns arising from warranty issues have been infrequent and immaterial. Accordingly, the Company expenses warranty returns as incurred. The Company follows U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 draws on existing accounting rules and provides specific guidance on revenue recognition of up-front non-refundable licensing and development fees. In accordance with SAB 101, up-front licensing fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the related license period. Product development revenues are recognized over the period in which the related product development efforts are performed. Amounts received prior to the performance of product development efforts are recorded as deferred revenues and are included in the accrued expenses caption on the accompanying balance sheet. Grant revenue is recognized as the related work is performed and costs are incurred. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs," the Company records shipping and handling charges billed to customers as revenue, and the related expense as cost of products sold. 6 Significant Customer Concentration. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, one customer accounted for 28 and 26 percent of total revenues, respectively, as compared to 25 and 28 percent for each of the same periods of 2001. Research and Development. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Foreign Currency Translation. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated from Euros into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Net Loss Per Common Share. The Company has presented basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"), and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98. In accordance with SFAS 128, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of incremental shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:
Three Months Nine Months Ended September 30, Ended September 30, ------------------- ------------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net income (loss) $ (386,844) $ 15,658 $ (3,260,677) $ (1,425,278) ============= ============= ============ ============= Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding: Basic 37,536,302 37,057,079 37,488,419 36,740,600 Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants - 1,952,016 - - ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------- Diluted 37,536,302 39,009,095 37,488,419 36,740,600 ============ ============= ============ ============= Earnings (loss) per share: Basic $ (0.01) $ 0.00 $ (0.09) $ (0.04) ============ ============= ============ ============= Diluted $ (0.01) $ 0.00 $ (0.09) $ (0.04) ============ ============= ============ =============
The computations of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 exclude the effect of outstanding common stock options and warrants to purchase 984,983, 2,974,620 and 4,207,396 shares, respectively, because the effect of including such shares is anti-dilutive. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company follows SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires the classification of items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature, and disclosure of the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. Restructuring-related Expenses. In February 2001, the Company announced plans to restructure certain of its manufacturing operations. As a result of this restructuring, the Company incurred an infrequent charge of $450,000 7 for restructuring costs, primarily comprised of expenses for employee severance, travel and transport resulting from relocating and consolidating manufacturing operations. All restructuring-related expenses were paid by June 30, 2001. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 3. Long-Term Debt In September 2002, the Company entered into a new $10.9 million credit facility ("New Credit Facility") with a new bank, pursuant to which the Company refinanced substantially all of its previously outstanding mortgage and term debt and increased its equipment and working capital lines of credit. The New Credit Facility is comprised of an $887,000 mortgage loan, a $3.0 million term loan, a $3.0 million non-revolving equipment line of credit, and a $4.0 million revolving working capital line of credit. The $887,000 mortgage loan matures in September 2012, bears interest at an annual floating rate equal to the bank's prime rate, and is repayable in fixed monthly principal and interest installments of $7,426 through September 2007, at which time the interest rate and fixed monthly repayment amount will be reset for the remaining 60 monthly installments. The $3.0 million term loan matures in March 2006, bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.99% and is repayable in forty-two consecutive equal monthly principal payments of $71,429, plus interest. Under the non-revolving equipment line of credit, the Company can borrow up to $3.0 million to finance eligible equipment purchases through September 11, 2003. Interest on outstanding borrowings shall accrue at a rate, selected at the Company's option, equal to the bank's prime rate, 180-day or 360-day LIBOR plus 2.625%, or the 4-year Treasury Note Rate plus 2.30%, determined at the time of each borrowing. Borrowings are repayable in 48 consecutive, equal monthly principal installments, plus interest. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of approximately $192,000 under this facility with a fixed annual interest rate of 5.07%. Under the revolving working capital line of credit, the Company can borrow up to $4.0 million to finance working capital and other needs. Interest on outstanding borrowings shall accrue at a rate, selected at the Company's option, equal to the bank's prime rate less 0.25% or 30-day LIBOR plus 2.55%, determined at the time of the initial borrowing. Borrowings are repayable by September 9, 2003, with interest payable monthly. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility at September 30, 2002. All borrowings under the New Credit Facility are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company, including present and future accounts receivable, chattel paper, contracts and contract rights, equipment and accessories, general intangibles, investments, instruments, inventory, and a mortgage on the Company's manufacturing facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Borrowings under the equipment and working-capital lines of credit are limited to commercially standard percentages of equipment purchases and accounts receivable, respectively. The New Credit Facility contains certain covenants containing minimum requirements for the Company's quick ratio, liquidity, and tangible net worth and requires the Company to achieve positive consolidated net income for the year ending December 31, 2003 and for each year thereafter. The New Credit Facility also restricts the Company's ability to pay dividends, to make certain investments, to incur additional indebtedness, to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, and to merge or consolidate operations with an unaffiliated entity, without the consent of the bank. 8 4. Related Party Transactions Officer Note and Employment Agreement. In March 2000, the Company issued a note receivable to an executive officer of the Company ("Officer Note") for $75,000, for relocation purposes. The Officer Note did not bear interest if it was repaid on or before the earlier of the tenth day following the close of sale on the officer's previous residence or the due date of the Officer Note, as extended. On January 31, 2002, the Company terminated an employment agreement with this executive officer and he agreed to repay the Officer Note in bi-weekly principal installments of approximately $7,000, commencing in April 2002. As of September 30, 2002, this Officer Note had been repaid. Facility Lease and Amendment. Effective March 1, 2002, the Company signed a 10-year operating lease with Tech III Partners, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by two of the Company's executive officers. Under the terms of the original agreement, the Company will lease a 48,000 square foot facility adjacent to the Company's headquarters, at a base rent of $480,000 per year, increasing to $528,000 per year, during the initial 10-year term. The lease also provides for certain renewal and purchase options. As a result of Tech rII Partners, LLC investing an additional $2.5 million in tenant fit-out costs for the leased facility, the original operating lease was amended in October 2002, pursuant to which the base rent was increased to $780,000 per year, increasing to $858,000 per year, during the initial 10-year term. The Company's purchase option was also amended to reflect the cost of the tenant fit-out expenditures. 5. Segment and Geographic Area Information Under the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131, "Segment Disclosures and Related Information," the Company operates within one segment, medical devices and products. The Company's products are sold principally in the United States and Europe. Segmentation of operating income and identifiable assets is not applicable since all of the Company's revenues outside the United States are export sales. The following table represents total revenues by geographic area (in thousands, except %):

6. Distribution and Supply Agreements In October 2002, the Company entered into new agreements with bioMerieux, Inc. ("BMX"), which replaced existing agreements between the parties, for the supply by BMX of HIV-1 antigen required to manufacture the Company's oral fluid Western Blot HIV-1 confirmatory test, and for the distribution by BMX of the oral fluid Western Blot product on an exclusive worldwide basis. These agreements have an initial term ending December 31, 2005, which may be extended until December 31, 2007 under certain circumstances. As consideration for BMX entering into the new agreements, the Company will pay BMX three installments of $250,000 each, the last of which will occur on March 31, 2003. The Company will record the $750,000 in aggregate payments as Patent and Product 9 Rights on the Balance Sheet and will amortize this amount through December 2005, the initial term of the agreements. In addition, the Company paid BMX an additional $250,000 to settle certain pending contract disputes which has been accrued as of September 30, 2002 in the accompanying Balance Sheet. 10 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Statements below regarding future events or performance are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include statements about expected revenues, earnings, expenses, cash flow or other financial performance, products, markets, and regulatory filings and approvals. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. Factors that could cause actual performance or results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in these statements include: ability to market products; impact of competitors, competing products and technology changes; ability to develop, commercialize and market new products; market acceptance of oral fluid testing products and up-converting phosphor technology products; ability to fund research and development and other projects and operations; ability to obtain and timing of obtaining necessary regulatory approvals; ability to develop product distribution channels; uncertainty relating to patent protection and potential patent infringement claims; availability of licenses to patents or other technology; ability to enter into international manufacturing agreements; obstacles to international marketing and manufacturing of products; loss or impairment of sources of capital; ability to meet financial covenants in agreements with financial institutions; exposure to product liability and other types of litigation; changes in international, federal or state laws and regulations; changes in relationships with strategic partners and reliance on strategic partners for the performance of critical activities under collaborative arrangements; changes in accounting practices and interpretation of accounting requirements; customer inventory practices and consolidations; equipment failures and ability to obtain needed raw materials and components; the impact of terrorist attacks and civil unrest; and general business, political and economic conditions. These and other factors that could cause the forward-looking statements to be materially different are described in greater detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its registration statements, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Although forward-looking statements help to provide information about future prospects, they may not be reliable. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Report and the Company undertakes no duty to update these statements. Results of Operations Three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to September 30, 2001 Total revenues decreased 6% to approximately $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2002 from approximately $8.6 million in the comparable quarter in 2001, primarily as a result of lower licensing and product development revenue together with lower international sales of the OraQuick(R) rapid HIV antibody test, partially offset by increased sales of OraSure(R) oral fluid collection devices and test kits. Product revenues for the third quarter of 2002 decreased approximately 2% to $8.1 million compared to $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2001. 11 The table below shows the amount of the Company's total revenues (in thousands, except %) generated in each of its principal markets and by licensing and product development activities.
Three months ended September 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------ Percentage of Dollars % Total Revenues ------------------------- -------------------------- Market Revenues 2002 2001 Change 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ---------- Insurance risk assessment $ 2,987 $ 2,986 0% 37% 35% Infectious disease testing 1,472 1,604 -8% 18% 18% Substance abuse testing 1,805 1,692 7% 22% 20% Physicians' offices therapies 1,840 1,955 -6% 23% 23% ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Product revenues 8,104 8,237 -2% 100% 96% Licensing and product development 3 362 -99% 0% 4% ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Total revenues $ 8,107 $ 8,599 -6% 100% 100% ========== ========== ========= ==========
Sales to the insurance risk assessment market remained flat at approximately $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2002. Increased sales of OraSure(R) oral fluid collection devices internationally were offset by lower assay revenues resulting from continuing efficiency in processing urine tests at LabOne, Inc., the Company's largest customer. This efficiency is expected to have a continuing effect on the Company, resulting in an annualized revenue reduction of up to $1.0 million during 2002, based on the Company's 2001 urine test sales volumes. Sales to the infectious disease testing market decreased 8% to approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of reduced sales of the Company's OraQuick(R) rapid HIV antibody test in the international marketplace, partially offset by an approximate 20% increase in the sale of OraSure(R) oral fluid collection devices and test kits. Sales to the infectious disease testing market are expected to increase as a result of the Company's agreement with Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") for the distribution of the Company's OraQuick(R) rapid HIV-1 antibody test, which was signed in June 2002. Under the terms of the agreement, Abbott was appointed as co-exclusive distributor of the OraQuick(R) HIV-1 device in the United States and is required to meet certain minimum purchase commitments. Pursuant to these commitments, the Company expects to receive product revenues of approximately $4.0 million through the end of 2003. On November 7, 2002, the Company received U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of the OraQuick(R) test for detecting HIV-1 antibodies in finger-stick whole blood samples. Pursuant to this approval, the Company is authorized to manufacture and sell the OraQuick(R) test in the United States. Sales to the substance abuse testing market increased 7% to approximately $1.8 million as a result of increased sales of Intercept(R) collection devices and oral fluid drug assays for workplace and criminal justice testing, partially offset by lower analytical equipment sales and lower sales of the Company's Q.E.D.(R) saliva alcohol test. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company's three newest Intercept(R) laboratory distributors, Quest Diagnostics, Clinical Reference Laboratory and NWT, Inc., began selling the Intercept(R) drug testing system into the workplace testing market. If the sales efforts by these distributors are successful, the Company would expect Intercept(R) revenues to increase above current levels. Sales of the Company's Histofreezer(R) portable cryosurgical system in the physicians' office therapies market decreased 6% to approximately $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of significantly lower international distributor sales, partially offset by an increase in distributor sales in the United States. 12 Licensing and product development revenue decreased to $3,000 in the third quarter of 2002 from $362,000 in 2001. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company received certain development milestone payments from Meridian Bioscience, a one-time payment from a potential corporate partner and certain funded research and development payments from the National Institutes of Health pursuant to a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research ("SBIR") grant. There were no such payments during the third quarter of 2002. The Company's gross margin decreased to 59% in the third quarter of 2002 from 67% in 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to the lower amount of licensing and product development revenues, higher costs associated with the advanced preparation for OraQuick(R) manufacturing, and higher scrap rates in the third quarter of 2002. The higher scrap rates were caused by several factors, including product expiration and obsolescence and unexpected changes in product demand. The Company is implementing remedial measures, which are intended to reduce scrap rates in the future. Research and development expenses decreased 16% to approximately $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2002 from approximately $2.2 million in 2001, primarily as a result of lower staffing costs and lower consulting fees. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 6% to approximately $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2002 from approximately $2.1 million in 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of lower staffing and related expenses. Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase in the future as the Company launches new products and attempts to maximize sales of its existing product lines. General and administrative expenses decreased 7% to approximately $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2002 from approximately $1.4 million in 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower executive recruiting fees. Interest expense decreased to $70,000 in the third quarter of 2002 from $102,000 in 2001 as a result of lower outstanding loan balances. Interest income decreased to $87,000 in the third quarter of 2002 from $242,000 in 2001, as a result of lower cash and cash equivalents available for investment and lower interest rates on the Company's investments. In September 2002, the Company refinanced certain existing term and mortgage debt, and entered into a new credit facility, with Comerica Bank. As a result of the refinancing of term and mortgage debt, the Company lowered the effective interest rate on its outstanding indebtedness by approximately 300 basis points, which is expected to result in a reduction in interest expense of over $100,000 per year, based on the Company's current level of outstanding indebtedness. The Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $2,000 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to a foreign currency loss of $115,000 in the third quarter of 2001. Results of Operations Nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to September 30, 2001 Total revenues decreased 3% to approximately $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $24.5 million in the comparable nine month period in 2001, primarily as a result of lower licensing and product development revenue and lower assay sales in the insurance risk assessment market, partially offset by increased sales of OraSure(R) oral fluid collection devices and test kits in the infectious disease testing market and increased sales of the Histofreezer(R) portable cryosurgical product in the physicians' office therapies market. Product revenues for the first nine months of 2002 increased approximately 1% to $23.4 million compared to $23.2 million for the first nine months of 2001. 13 The table below shows the amount of the Company's total revenues (in thousands, except %) generated in each of its principal markets and by licensing and product development activities.
Nine months ended September 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------ Percentage of Dollars % Total Revenues --------------------------- --------------------------- Market Revenues 2002 2001 Change 2002 2001 ------------ ------------ -------- ------------ ------------ Insurance risk assessment $ 8,900 $ 9,376 -5% 38% 38% Infectious disease testing 4,505 4,257 6% 19% 18% Substance abuse testing 4,808 4,841 -1% 20% 20% Physicians' offices therapies 5,233 4,733 11% 22% 19% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Product revenues 23,446 23,207 1% 99% 95% Licensing and product development 316 1,303 -76% 1% 5% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total revenues $ 23,762 $ 24,510 -3% 100% 100% ============ ============ ============ ============
Sales to the insurance risk assessment market declined by 5% to approximately $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $9.4 million in the comparable period in 2001, primarily as a result of lower assay sales due to continuing efficiency in processing urine tests at LabOne, Inc., the Company's largest customer. This efficiency is expected to have a continuing effect on the Company, resulting in an annualized revenue reduction of up to $1.0 million during 2002, based on the Company's 2001 urine test sales volumes. Sales to the infectious disease testing market increased 6% to approximately $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $4.3 million in the comparable period in 2001, primarily as a result of an approximate 23% increase in the sale of OraSure(R) oral fluid collection devices and test kits. Offsetting this increase were reduced international sales of the Company's OraQuick(R) rapid HIV antibody test, which accounted for approximately $650,000 in revenues for the first nine months of 2001. Sales to the substance abuse testing market were flat at approximately $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as a result of a increased sales of Intercept(R) collection devices and oral fluid drug assays, offset by approximately $600,000 of lower analytical equipment sales and lower sales of the Company's Q.E.D.(R) saliva alcohol test. Sales of the Company's Histofreezer(R) products in the physicians' office therapies market increased 11% to approximately $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $4.7 million in the comparable period in 2001. This increase was the result of an increase in distributor sales in the United States, partially offset by significantly lower international distributor sales. Licensing and product development revenue decreased 76% to $316,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $1.3 million in the comparable period in 2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company received certain development milestone payments from Meridian Bioscience and Drager Safety and certain funded research and development payments from the National Institutes of Health pursuant to a Phase II SBIR grant. There were no such payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The Company's gross margin decreased to approximately 60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 65% for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower amount of licensing and product development revenues and higher scrap rates in the first nine months of 2002. The higher scrap rates were caused by several factors, including product expiration and obsolescence and unexpected changes in product demand. The Company is implementing remedial measures, which are intended to reduce scrap rates in the future. 14 Research and development expenses decreased 5% to approximately $6.5 million from approximately $6.8 million in the comparable period in 2001. Decreased expenditures for staffing, consulting and travel were partially offset by increased costs associated with clinical trials related to the Company's efforts to obtain FDA approval of the OraQuick(R) rapid HIV-1 antibody test. Sales and marketing expenses increased 6% to approximately $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $6.0 million in the comparable period in 2001. This increase was primarily the result of higher consulting fees for the development of strategic marketing plans. Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase in the future as the Company launches new products and attempts to maximize sales of its existing product lines. General and administrative expenses increased 9% to approximately $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from approximately $4.5 million for the comparable period in 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to an approximate $0.5 million severance charge related to the departure of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer. Restructuring-related expenses were $450,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as a result of a manufacturing restructuring. There was no such charge in the first nine months of 2002. Interest expense decreased to $233,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $310,000 for the comparable period in 2001, as a result of lower outstanding loan balances. Interest income decreased to $391,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $743,000 for the comparable period in 2001, as a result of lower cash and cash equivalents available for investment and lower interest rates on the Company's investments. In September 2002, the Company refinanced certain existing term and mortgage debt, and entered into a new credit facility, with Comerica Bank. As a result of the refinancing of term and mortgage debt, the Company lowered the effective interest rate on its outstanding indebtedness by approximately 300 basis points, which is expected to result in a reduction in interest expense of over $100,000 per year, based on the Company's current level of outstanding indebtedness. Liquidity and Capital Resources September 30, December 31, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------ (In thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,231 $ 2,426 Short-term investments 8,137 12,765 Working capital 17,216 19,764 The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased approximately $1.8 million during the first nine months of 2002 to approximately $13.4 million at September 30, 2002, primarily as a result of the Company's net loss for the first nine months of 2002, a reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses, and certain capital expenditures. Offsetting these uses of cash were an increase in accounts receivable collections and proceeds from stock option exercises. At September 30, 2002, the Company's working capital was approximately $17.2 million. In September 2002, the Company entered into a new $10.9 million credit facility ("New Credit Facility") with Comerica Bank, pursuant to which the Company refinanced substantially all of its previously outstanding mortgage and term debt and increased its equipment and working capital lines of credit. The New Credit Facility is comprised of an $887,000 mortgage loan, a $3.0 million term loan, a $3.0 million non-revolving equipment line of credit, and a $4.0 million revolving working capital line of credit. 15 The $887,000 mortgage loan matures in September 2012, bears interest at an annual floating rate equal to Comerica's prime rate, and is repayable in fixed monthly principal and interest installments of $7,426 through September 2007, at which time the interest rate and fixed monthly repayment amount will be reset for the remaining 60 monthly installments. The $3.0 million term loan matures in March 2006, bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.99% and is repayable in forty-two consecutive equal monthly principal payments of $71,429, plus interest. Under the non-revolving equipment line of credit, the Company can borrow up to $3.0 million to finance eligible equipment purchases through September 11, 2003. Interest on outstanding borrowings shall accrue at a rate, selected at the Company's option, equal to Comerica's prime rate, 180-day or 360-day LIBOR plus 2.625%, or the 4-year Treasury Note Rate plus 2.30%, determined at the time of each borrowing. Borrowings are repayable in 48 consecutive, equal monthly principal installments, plus interest. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of approximately $192,000 under this facility with a fixed annual interest rate of 5.07%. Under the revolving working capital line of credit, the Company can borrow up to $4.0 million to finance working capital and other needs. Interest on outstanding borrowings shall accrue at a rate, selected at the Company's option, equal to Comerica's prime rate less 0.25%, or 30-day LIBOR plus 2.55%, determined at the time of the initial borrowing. Borrowings are repayable by September 9, 2003, with interest payable monthly. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility at September 30, 2002. All borrowings under the New Credit Facility are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company, including present and future accounts receivable, chattel paper, contracts and contract rights, equipment and accessories, general intangibles, investments, instruments, inventory, and a mortgage on the Company's manufacturing facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Borrowings under the equipment and working capital lines of credit are limited to commercially standard percentages of equipment purchases and accounts receivable, respectively. The New Credit Facility contains certain covenants containing minimum requirements for the Company's quick ratio, liquidity, and tangible net worth and requires the Company to achieve positive consolidated net income for the year ending December 31, 2003 and for each year thereafter. The New Credit Facility also restricts the Company's ability to pay dividends, to make certain investments, to incur additional indebtedness, to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, and to merge or consolidate operations with an unaffiliated entity, without the consent of Comerica. The combination of the Company's current cash position and available borrowings under the Company's credit facilities is expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's foreseeable operating and capital needs. However, the Company's cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned due to many factors, including, but not limited to, the progress of the Company's research and development programs, the scope and results of clinical testing, the magnitude of capital expenditures, changes in existing and potential relationships with business partners, the time and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents, proprietary rights and any necessary licenses, the ability of the Company to establish development and commercialization capacities or relationships, the costs of manufacturing, the success of the Company's sales and marketing efforts, market acceptance of new products and other factors. In October 2002, the Company entered into new agreements with bioMerieux, Inc. ("BMX"), which replaced existing agreements between the parties, for the supply by BMX of HIV-1 antigen required to manufacture the Company's oral fluid Western Blot HIV-1 confirmatory test, and for the distribution by BMX of the oral fluid Western Blot product on an exclusive worldwide basis. These agreements have an initial term ending December 31, 2005, which may be extended until December 31, 2007 under certain circumstances. As consideration for BMX entering into the new agreements, the Company will pay BMX three installments of $250,000 each, the last of which will occur on March 31, 2003. In addition, the Company paid BMX an additional $250,000 to settle certain pending contract disputes. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily as a result of the loss for the period, net of depreciation, increased inventory levels, and the reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by increased accounts receivable collections. 16 Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was approximately $3.4 million, primarily as a result of $4.6 million in net proceeds received from the sale of short-term investments, offset by the purchase of approximately $1.0 million of capital equipment and a $200,000 payment to secure a sublicense to certain lateral flow technology patents. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $240,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as a result of approximately $160,000 of term debt repayments, offset by approximately $400,000 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The Company has entered into a Commercial Lease (the "Lease") with Tech III Partners, LLC ("Tech Partners"), which provides for the construction of a 48,000 square foot facility on land adjacent to the Company's Bethlehem, Pennsylvania headquarters, and the lease of that facility to the Company. Tech Partners is owned and controlled by Michael J. Gausling, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. R. Sam Niedbala, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Science Officer. The facility will house manufacturing, warehousing, and administrative operations required to support the expected growth of the Company's business. Construction of the facility is now complete. In October 2002, the Company entered into an amendment of the Lease with Tech Partners in order to reflect an increase in the base rental rate required to reflect certain additional tenant fit-out costs. The Lease, as amended, has an initial ten-year term ending in October 2012 and a base rent starting at $780,000 and increasing to $858,240 per year over that term. The base rental rate may be increased after the fifth year of the initial term in order to reflect changes in the interest rate on debt incurred by Tech Partners to finance construction of the leased facilities. The Company has not guaranteed any debt incurred by Tech Partners. The Lease also provides the Company with options to renew the Lease for an additional five years at a rental rate of $975,360 per year, and to purchase the facility at any time during the initial ten-year term based on a formula set forth in the Lease. Prior to deciding to enter into the Lease and the Amendment, the Company's Board of Directors retained Imperial Realty Appraisal LLC, an independent commercial real estate appraisal firm, to evaluate the proposed base rental rate. Imperial Realty issued opinions indicating that the annual base rent set forth in the Lease, as amended, is below the market rental rate the Company could otherwise expect to pay to lease a comparable commercial property in the same general geographic market. The terms of the Lease are otherwise substantially similar to the commercial lease entered into by the Company with a third party for its existing Bethlehem, Pennsylvania headquarters. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, revenue recognition, contingencies, and litigation. Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management considers the following policies to be most critical in understanding the more complex judgments that are involved in preparing the Company's financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact its results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. 17 Revenue Recognition. The Company follows U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 draws on existing accounting rules and provides specific guidance on revenue recognition of up-front, non-refundable licensing and development fees. The Company licenses certain products or technology to outside third parties, in return for which the Company receives up-front licensing fees, some of which can be significant. In accordance with SAB 101, the Company is required to defer immediate recognition of these fees as revenue, and instead ratably recognize this revenue over the related license period. The Company also enters into research and development contracts with corporate, government or private entities. These contracts generally provide for payments to the Company upon achievement of certain research or development milestones. Product development revenues from these contracts are recognized only if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by the customer and payment from the customer is probable. Any amounts received prior to the performance of product development efforts are recorded as deferred revenues. Recognition of revenue under these contracts can be sporadic, as it is the result of achieving specific research and development milestones. Furthermore, revenue from future milestone payments will not be recognized if the underlying research and development milestone is not achieved. The Company recognizes product revenues when products are shipped. The Company does not grant price protection or product return rights to its customers, except for warranty returns. Where a product fails to comply with its limited warranty, the Company can either replace the product or provide the customer with a refund of the purchase price or credit against future purchases. Historically, returns arising from warranty issues have been infrequent and immaterial. Accordingly, the Company expenses warranty returns as incurred. While such returns have been immaterial in the past, management cannot guarantee that the Company will continue to experience the same low rate of warranty claims as it has in the past. Any significant increase in product warranty claims could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operating results for the period in which such claims occur. Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are reduced by an estimated allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. On an ongoing basis, management performs credit evaluations of the Company's customers and adjusts credit limits based upon the customer's payment history and creditworthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers. Based upon the Company's historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that are identified, management uses its judgment to establish and evaluate the adequacy of the Company's allowance for estimated credit losses. While such credit losses have been within the Company's expectations and the allowance provided, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as it has in the past. Furthermore, some of the Company's accounts receivable have resulted from sales to distributors located in foreign countries. Any significant changes in the liquidity or financial position of its customers, or the economies or political climate of certain foreign nations, could have a material adverse impact on the collectibility of the Company's accounts receivable and its future operating results. Inventories. The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include the cost of raw materials, labor and overhead. The majority of the Company's inventories are subject to expiration dating. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of its inventories and when, in the opinion of management, factors indicate that impairment has occurred, either a reserve is established against the inventories' carrying value or the inventories are completely written off. Management bases these decisions on the level of inventories on hand in relation to the Company's estimated forecast of product demand, production requirements over the next twelve months and the expiration dates of raw materials and finished goods. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the carrying value of the Company's inventories and its reported operating results. Contingencies. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into various contractual relationships with strategic corporate partners, customers, distributors, research laboratories and universities, licensors, licensees, suppliers, vendors and other parties. As such, the Company could be subject to litigation, claims or assessments arising from any or all of these relationships. The Company accounts for contingencies such as these in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." SFAS No. 5 18 requires the Company to record an estimated loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of the Company's financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual or legal proceedings requires Company management to use its best judgment when estimating an accrual related to such contingencies. As additional information becomes known, the Company's accrual for a loss contingency could fluctuate, thereby creating variability in the Company's results of operations from period to period. Likewise, an actual loss arising from a loss contingency which significantly exceeds the amount accrued for in the Company's financial statements could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known. Income Taxes. The Company has a history of losses, which has generated a sizeable federal tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward of approximately $69.1 million as of December 31, 2001. Generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset associated with this NOL carryforward if it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to utilize the NOL carryforward to offset future taxes. Due to the size of the NOL carryforward in relation to the Company's history of unprofitable operations, the Company has not recognized any of this net deferred tax asset. It is possible that the Company could be profitable in the future at levels which would cause management to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize all or a portion of the NOL carryforward. Upon reaching such a conclusion, the Company would immediately record the estimated net realizable value of the deferred tax asset at that time and would then begin to provide for income taxes at a rate equal to the Company's combined federal and state effective rates, which management believes would approximate 40%. Subsequent revisions to the estimated net realizable value of the deferred tax asset could cause the Company's provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. The Company does not hold any amounts of derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments, and accordingly, has no material derivative risk to report under this Item. The Company's holdings of financial instruments are comprised of U.S. corporate debt, certificates of deposit, government securities and commercial paper. All such instruments are classified as securities available for sale. The Company's debt security portfolio represents funds held temporarily pending use in its business and operations. The Company seeks reasonable assuredness of the safety of principal and market liquidity by investing in rated fixed income securities while at the same time seeking to achieve a favorable rate of return. Market risk exposure consists principally of exposure to changes in interest rates. If changes in interest rates would affect the investments adversely, the Company could decide to hold the security to maturity or sell the security. The Company's holdings are also exposed to the risk of change in the credit quality of issuers. The Company typically invests in the shorter end of the maturity spectrum. The Company does not currently have any foreign currency exchange contracts or purchase currency options to hedge local currency cash flows. The Company has operations in The Netherlands that are subject to foreign currency fluctuations. As currency rates change, translation of revenues and expenses for these operations from Euros to U.S. dollars affects year-to-year comparability of operating results. Revenues generated in The Netherlands represented approximately $400,000 and $1.3 million or 4.9% and 5.5% of the Company's total revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Management does not expect the risk of foreign currency fluctuations to be material. Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Within the 90 days preceding the filing of this Report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation 19 of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including such officers, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company, which is required to be included in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (b) Changes in Internal Controls. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls (including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to in paragraph (a) of this Item.
