UROCOR, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 2001
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2001.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2001.
NOTE 2 INVESTMENTS:
Pursuant to the Companys investment policy, idle and excess funds are invested in high grade, fixed income securities generally for no more than two years. These securities are considered available-for-sale as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. The Company considers any net unrealized gain or loss on these investments to be temporary, and reflects such gains or losses as a component of stockholders equity. As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, there was not a material net unrealized gain or loss on these investments.
NOTE 3 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Effective June 29, 2001, the Company received final judicial and governmental approvals of a settlement agreement with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) previously announced on February 16, 2001, concerning matters covered by the DOJs investigation into actions of UroCor during 1992 through 1998 in connection with billing claims submitted by UroCor to Medicare and other federal and state insurance programs for its diagnostics testing services. Under the final settlement agreement, UroCor refunded the various programs a total of $9.0 million that was accrued at December 31, 2000. The settlement covers UroCor liabilities to the federal government and the state insurance programs with respect to matters under investigation through December 31, 2000. Under the terms of the settlement, there was no admission by UroCor of any wrongdoing in connection with matters covered by the investigation. UroCor also has agreed to operate under a corporate integrity agreement for a period of up to five years. Among other things, the corporate integrity agreement requires UroCor to cooperate with the United States Attorneys Office for the Western District of Oklahoma in connection with a criminal investigation of others related to the DOJ investigation. UroCor has incurred and expects to continue to incur expenses relating to the DOJ investigation, including without limitation, the administration of the DOJ settlement (including compliance with the corporate integrity agreement), and may incur additional expenses in connection with any related governmental investigations or proceedings (including the criminal investigation) and any potential indemnification of legal and other fees and costs for current and past directors, officers and employees of UroCor. UroCor currently estimates that it could incur up to $6 million in potential indemnification expenses.
NOTE 4 STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM:
On April 20, 1999, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to $10 million of UroCor common stock. Management expects that the repurchase program will be conducted from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions, securities regulations and other factors. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had repurchased approximately $7.6 million (or approximately 1.7 million shares) of common stock, reissued 477,700 treasury shares for the acquisition of Mills Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and reissued 22,544 shares pursuant to the terms of the employee stock purchase plan. There were no stock repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

NOTE 5 SEGMENT REPORTING:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires selected information about reportable segments in interim financial reports that is consistent with that made available to management to assess financial performance. The Company operates in two reportable segments1) diagnostic services and 2) therapeutic products. The diagnostic services segment provides testing services to urologists for diagnosing, selecting appropriate therapies and managing patients with urologic diseases. The therapeutic products segment currently offers ProstaSeed® for early stage prostate cancer and offered PACIS BCG® for bladder cancer until February 2001, when an agreement was reached with the manufacturer of PACIS BCG to terminate the related distribution agreement, resulting in a gain of approximately $4.6 million. The Companys management evaluates performance based on several factors. However, the primary measurement focus is Gross Profit (revenue less direct costs) and Operating Income, excluding special charges and any other unusual items. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2000. Corporate expenses include overhead expenses not allocated to specific business segments, including administrative expenses and information services expenses. The expenses that are allocated to business segments after the gross profit calculation to result in the operating income figures include sales and marketing expenses, certain administrative expenses directly attributable to the segments and bad debt expense. Asset information by segment is not reported, because the Company does not yet produce such information internally. The following table presents information about the Companys segments for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000:

NOTE 7 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for intangible assets and goodwill. The statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets having indefinite useful lives not be amortized, rather tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. As required by SFAS 142, UroCor will adopt this new accounting standard January 1, 2002. The Company is currently analyzing the provisions of SFAS 142 and have not yet determined the impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 8 PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF UROCOR BY DIANON SYSTEMS, INC.:
On June 28, 2001, DIANON Systems, Inc. and UroCor announced that the companies had signed a definitive merger agreement for the acquisition of UroCor by DIANON. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the closing of the transaction, each stockholder of UroCor would receive 0.4064 shares of common stock of DIANON for each share of UroCor common stock, subject to adjustment as described in the merger agreement. The consummation of the merger is subject to customary conditions, including approval of the stockholders of both companies and necessary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Overview
UroCor markets a comprehensive range of integrated products and services directly to urologists and managed care organizations to assist in detecting, diagnosing, treating and managing prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney stones and other complex urologic disorders. The Companys primary focus is helping urologists improve patient care and outcomes while reducing the total cost of managing these diseases.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company derived approximately 96% of its revenue from diagnostic products and services that UroCor Labs provides to the urology market to assist in the diagnosis, prognosis and management of prostate cancer, bladder cancer and kidney stones disease. The Company recognizes revenue when products are sold or services are rendered. The Company typically bills various third-party payors for its products and services, such as private insurance, managed care plans and governmental programs (e.g., Medicare), as well as individual patients and physicians. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, approximately 44%, 43%, 9% and 4% of the Companys diagnostic revenue was attributable to Medicare, private insurance and managed care, individual patients, and physicians and hospitals, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company derived approximately 4% of its revenue from the sales of its therapeutic product, ProstaSeed. ProstaSeed is a UroCor-branded line of radiation implants (also referred to as seeds) used in brachytherapy for early stage prostate cancer that received regulatory approval for marketing in January 2000.
On June 28, 2001, DIANON Systems, Inc. and UroCor announced that the companies had signed a definitive merger agreement for the acquisition of UroCor by DIANON. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the closing of the transaction, each stockholder of UroCor would receive 0.4064 shares of common stock of DIANON for each share of UroCor common stock, subject to adjustment as described in the merger agreement. The consummation of the merger is subject to customary conditions, including approval of the stockholders of both companies and necessary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2001.
Results of Operations
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased 28.7% to approximately $15.9 million compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, and increased from approximately $24.4 million for the first six months of 2000 to approximately $31.3 million for the first six months of 2001.
Diagnostic services revenue increased 26.6% for the three-month period ending June 30, 2001 and 25.5% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2001 resulting primarily from the Companys price increase effective August 14, 2000 and an overall positive reimbursement change from Medicare effective January 1, 2001. The Companys price increase and the overall increase in Medicare reimbursement resulted in an increase of approximately $2.0 million in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the 2000 period. Case volume for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased 6.2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000, while case volume for the six months ended June 30, 2001 decreased 1.9% compared to the 2000 period. The decline in diagnostic volumes for the six-month period was primarily the result of the revision of pricing on contractual programs during the first quarter of 2000 that resulted in the loss of some clients and decreased product usage from other clients. The Companys client base for the second quarter of 2001 was approximately 2,540 urologists of which approximately 46% used two or more products compared to approximately 2,475 urologists and approximately 46% using more than one product for the second quarter of 2000.

Therapeutic products revenue increased from approximately $280,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $613,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and increased from approximately $335,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $1.2 million for same period in 2001. The Companys marketing of ProstaSeed accounted for substantially all of the therapeutic products revenue in both periods. Increases in therapeutic products revenue in subsequent periods is contingent upon success in increasing the sales of ProstaSeed and the success in the acquisition of rights for, and the obtaining of appropriate United States Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) or other regulatory approvals for, any other therapeutic products that could be marketed by the Company.
Direct Cost of Services and Products. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses decreased to 35.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 37.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and decreased to 34.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 37.1 % for the six months ended June 30, 2001. In the aggregate, direct cost of services and products increased 21.1%, from approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and decreased 20.3% from approximately $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Direct costs for diagnostic services, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 31.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 35.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and decreased to 31.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 35.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Companys price increases discussed above in Revenue contributed to these decreased percentages, along with shifts in volume mix towards the Companys higher margin tests. In the aggregate, direct costs for diagnostic services increased 15.2%, from approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and increased 9.5% from approximately $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. These increases were primarily related to personnel costs for initial data-entry and specimen processing.
Direct costs for therapeutic products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were principally comprised of the manufacturing and overhead costs related to ProstaSeed. Before the Company acquired the manufacturer of ProstaSeed in April 2000, direct costs were for acquisition of the product. These direct costs exceeded revenue by 25.4% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and 52.7% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 and 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 39.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In aggregate, the direct costs for therapeutic products increased to approximately $769,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 from approximately $427,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 and to approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from approximately $466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Attainment of positive gross profit margins for the Companys ongoing ProstaSeed marketing efforts is contingent upon increasing sales volumes, which is dependent on the efforts and results of the Companys product distributors.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 42.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 46.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and to 42.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 46.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In the aggregate, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 18.3%, from approximately $5.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $6.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 and increased 16.4% from approximately $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period was due principally to increased sales and administrative personnel costs of approximately $808,000, increased professional service costs of approximately $276,000 and increased facilities and equipment rent of approximately $109,000, offset by a decrease in therapeutic advertising and promotions of approximately $120,000. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six-month period was due principally to increased sales and administrative personnel costs of approximately $1.6 million, increased professional service costs of approximately $294,000, increased facilities and equipment rent of approximately $208,000 and increased conventions and meetings costs of approximately $161,000, offset by a decrease in therapeutic advertising and promotions of approximately $238,000.
Provision for Bad Debts. As a percentage of revenue, provision for bad debts increased to 8.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 8.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and to 9.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 8.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In the aggregate, provision for bad debts increased 30.5%, from approximately $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 and increased 39.5%, from approximately $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company monitors the collection quality of its accounts receivable through analytical review of aging categories by payor group and collections performance. The Company provides an amount on a monthly basis for estimated future bad debts on current period revenues. In addition, from time to time, there are specific events for which management makes an additional provision. There have been no such additional provisions made in the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 or June 30, 2001.

Research and Development Expenses. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 1.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 3.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and to 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 3.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In the aggregate, research and development costs decreased 20.4%, from approximately $388,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $309,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001 and decreased 19.1% from approximately $787,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $636,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in expenses was due primarily to the Companys focus on strategic projects that it has determined have the highest commercial potential, which has resulted in overall lower base research and development program costs.
Other Income (Expense). Other income, net of interest expense decreased from income of approximately $160,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2000 to expense of approximately $759,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to approximately $694,000 of costs related to the proposed merger of the Company with DIANON Systems, Inc. and increased from approximately $308,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to approximately $4.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was due principally to the realized gain of approximately $4.6 million attributable to the termination in February 2001 of the Companys distribution agreement with the manufacturer of PACIS BCG, a therapeutic product previously distributed by the Company.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2001 was approximately $441,000 resulting in an effective 38.9% federal and state income tax rate. Income tax expense recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $306,000 based upon an effective 40.1% federal and state income tax rate. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, income tax expense was approximately $3.0 million at an effective tax rate of 38.9%, while income tax expense of approximately $555,000 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2000 based upon a 39.1% effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2001, cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments totaled approximately $13.3 million, and the Companys working capital was approximately $23.2 million. As of June 30, 2001, the components of cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments were approximately $9.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term marketable investments of approximately $3.6 million and $512,000, respectively, consisting principally of high-grade fixed income securities with maturities of less than one year.
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, totaled approximately $13.5 million at June 30, 2001, an increase of approximately $1.0 million from December 31, 2000, or 8.2%, principally attributable to increased revenue.
At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Companys average number of days sales in net diagnostics receivables was approximately 78 and 77, respectively.
Virtually all of the Companys diagnostic services are rendered on a fee-for-service basis. Accordingly, the Company assumes the financial risk related to collection, including potential inability to collect accounts, long collection cycles for accounts receivable, difficulties in gathering complete and accurate billing information and delays attendant to reimbursement by third-party payors, such as governmental programs such as Medicare, private insurance plans and managed care organizations.
The Company monitors the collection quality of its accounts receivable through analytical review of aging categories by payor group and collections performance. While the Company maintains what it believes to be an adequate allowance for doubtful accounts, there can be no assurance that the Companys ongoing assessment of accounts receivable will not result in the need for additional provision for doubtful accounts. Such additional provision could have an adverse effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
Operating activities used net cash of approximately $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to net cash provided of approximately $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net cash used by operating activities was primarily the result of net income of approximately $4.7 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.4 million, deferred income tax provision of approximately $3.0 million, and increase in accrued compensation of approximately $1.3 million, more than offset by the gain on termination of therapeutic agreement of approximately $4.6 million, an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $1.0 million, a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $892,000 and a decrease in accrued liabilities of approximately $9.7 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and consisted primarily of the proceeds of approximately $7.0 million from the termination of the PACIS BCG distribution agreement offset by
10
capital expenditure purchases of approximately $900,000, net purchases of marketable securities of $2.6 million and an increase in other assets of approximately $786,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $611,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, consisting primarily of approximately $688,000 from the exercise of stock options by employees, $58,000 from issuances of stock pursuant to the Companys employee stock purchase plan and $236,000 of additional proceeds for financing of fixed assets, offset by payment of debt of $175,000 and capital lease principal payments of approximately $196,000.
The Companys capital expenditures of approximately $900,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were primarily for leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment and software. Of the total amount, approximately $353,000 related to internal software development costs related primarily to installation and customization of third-party software. While future capital expenditures will depend upon a number of factors, the Company expects such expenditures to be comparable to recent levels as the Company continues to expand to deliver therapeutics and information services and to enhance current diagnostic services and operational capabilities. The Company intends to finance the majority of these capital expenditures with existing cash and investment balances and possibly debt.
Effective June 29, 2001, the Company received final judicial and governmental approvals of a settlement agreement with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) previously announced on February 16, 2001, concerning matters covered by the DOJs investigation into actions of UroCor during 1992 through 1998 in connection with billing claims submitted by UroCor to Medicare and other federal and state insurance programs for its diagnostics testing services. Under the final settlement agreement, UroCor refunded the various programs a total of $9.0 million and agreed to operate under a corporate integrity agreement for a period of up to five years. Among other things, the corporate integrity agreement requires UroCor to cooperate with the United States Attorneys Office for the Western District of Oklahoma in connection with a criminal investigation of others related to the DOJ investigation. UroCor has incurred and expects to continue to incur expenses relating to the DOJ investigation, including without limitation, the administration of the DOJ settlement (including compliance with the corporate integrity agreement), and may incur additional expenses in connection with any related governmental investigations or proceedings (including the criminal investigation) and any potential indemnification of legal and other fees and costs for current and past directors, officers and employees of UroCor. UroCor currently estimates that it could incur up to $6 million in potential indemnification expenses.
In March 2001, the Company entered into a collaborative agreement with a manufacturer of therapeutic products giving UroCor the exclusive rights to distribute one of the manufacturers products in the United States. Under the terms of the agreement, UroCor paid $750,000 during the first quarter of 2001 and will pay up to an additional $2.3 million in milestone payments in subsequent years during the development and potential product launch of the product. As milestones are achieved, the Company intends to make the additional payments from existing cash and investment balances or debt.
The Company intends to pursue the acquisition, licensing or co-promotion of new therapeutic products and to acquire diagnostic products or possibly existing business. As such opportunities are identified, the Company intends to make any related acquisition payments from existing cash and investment balances or new debt.
In April 1999, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of the Companys common stock. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had repurchased approximately $7.6 million (or approximately 1.7 million shares) of its common stock, reissued 477,700 treasury shares for the acquisition of Mills Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and reissued 22,544 shares pursuant to the terms of the employee stock purchase plan.
The Company believes that its existing capital resources will be sufficient to provide the funds necessary to maintain its present level of operations and implement its currently planned growth strategy. There may be circumstances or new business opportunities, however, that would require additional resources. In such event, the Company may be required to seek additional financing, and there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such financing on a timely basis or on acceptable terms.
