Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2005
(1)
The Company

CAS Medical Systems, Inc. (the "Company") operates in one business segment and is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and distributing diagnostic equipment and medical products for use in the healthcare and medical industry. These products are sold by the Company through its own sales force, via distributors and pursuant to original equipment manufacturer agreements both internationally and in the United States. The Company has several other products in various stages of development that it believes will add to and complement its current product lines.

As described in Note 4, on May 15, 2005 the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Statcorp, Inc. (“Statcorp”). Statcorp develops, assembles and sells blood pressure cuffs, liquid infusion devices, and blood transfusion filters used in the healthcare and medical industry. The results of operations of Statcorp are included in the accompanying financial statements from the acquisition date. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(2)
Basis of Presentation

The financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures included in 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. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 was derived from the audited financial statements for the year then ended.

In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2005, and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (restated) and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (restated) have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full year 2005.

Certain 2004 balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(3)
Restatement

During the 2004 year-end audit, management, together with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that its accounting with respect to a postretirement benefit plan (the “Plan”) was not in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, “Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions”. Under Statement No. 106, companies are required to estimate the total future costs of providing postretirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees service period. During January 2002, the Company established the Plan for its qualifying employees who reach age sixty-five and have provided ten years of service to the Company. The Plan provides certain prescription drug and supplemental health benefits for Medicare qualified retirees of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan is to provide benefits under an insurance contract paid on behalf of the participants. As described in Note 9, the Company modified the Plan during February 2005 to reduce its costs to the Company.

Statement No. 106 requires the Company to estimate the total cost of providing post-retirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees’ service period. Prior to retroactively applying Statement No. 106, the Company recognized the benefit cost using the cash basis of accounting. The benefits are funded through the purchase of medical insurance for each retiree each year. The Company continues to fund the Plan on a “pay-as-you-go” basis.
 

Form 10-QSB

The accompanying statement of income for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 has been restated to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $50,522 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $17,677. The accompanying statements of income and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 have been restated to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $101,044 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $35,355.

The Company has evaluated its post-retirement benefit arrangements in accordance with FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003”. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Company’s post-retirement benefit costs do not reflect amounts associated with the subsidy because it is unable to conclude whether the benefits provided by the Plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.
 
(4)
Acquisition

On May 15, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with respect to the purchase of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Statcorp, Inc. (“Statcorp”) from its stockholders. Statcorp, based in Jacksonville, Florida, develops, assembles and sell blood pressure cuffs, liquid infusion devices, and blood transfusion filters for worldwide use in the medical industry. The acquisition enhances the Company’s position in the non-invasive blood pressure monitoring market by offering a complete, low cost, high performance accessories solution to its customers to complement its proprietary monitoring products and OEM technology. Statcorp also enjoys certain key OEM, private label, and distributor relationships which the Company may seek to expand to its other product lines.  

The initial purchase price was $4,200,000 in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. The purchase price is also subject to adjustment based upon certain post-closing revenues over the twelve-month period effective with the consummation of the Agreement. Under the Agreement, the purchase price may be increased in increments up to a maximum of $1,000,000 depending upon the level of such sales recorded during the twelve months ending May 15, 2006. If, however, Statcorp’s applicable revenues for this period fall below a certain base amount, the purchase price will be reduced in increments ranging from $175,000 to $700,000.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had accrued a $404,583 contingent payment with respect to the working capital adjustment provided for under the Agreement. Such consideration was paid on July 6, 2005.

The preliminary allocation of the initial purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was based upon internal valuations and other information. Certain transaction costs of $184,281 were incurred to effect the transaction, of which $161,771 were paid in the three month period ended June 30, 2005.

The following table sets forth the components of the purchase price as of June 30, 2005:

Goodwill

Goodwill is the cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. In connection with the acquisition of Statcorp the Company recorded goodwill of $3,093,586. The Company will evaluate the carrying value of goodwill for potential impairment at least annually.

Warranty Costs

The Company warranties its products for up to three years and records the estimated cost of such product warranties at the time the sale is recorded. Estimated warranty costs are based upon actual past experience of product returns and the related estimated cost of labor and material to make the necessary repairs. If actual future product return rates or the actual costs of material and labor differ from the estimates, adjustments to the accrued warranty liability would be made.

In February 2005, the Company amended the plan to require participants to contribute fifty percent of health insurance premiums under the plan beginning September 1, 2005. The plan amendment reduced the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $524,500 resulting in an unrecognized prior service gain of approximately $185,000. This gain is being recognized over the average remaining service life of the plan participants which is approximately 5.6 years.
 
Plan health insurance premiums paid by the Company were approximately $16,000 and $12,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company expects that premium payments will approximate $26,000 in 2005.

Earnings per Common Share

The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. No potentially dilutive securities are included in the denominator. Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise or conversion of dilutive securities. Warrants to purchase 22,500 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding at June 30, 2004 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 147,500

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company primarily grants qualified stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations where, generally, when the exercise price of stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. Had compensation cost for the stock option awards been determined to be consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been changed to the following pro forma amounts:

SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” requires that a public entity measure the cost of equity based service awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award or the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. The Company has not yet evaluated the likely effects on its financial statements.

Financing Arrangements

On May 16, 2005, the Company consummated a $4,200,000 fixed rate loan agreement at 6% with its primary lender to finance the acquisition of Statcorp. The loan is payable beginning July 1, 2005 in eighty-four monthly installments of approximately $61,000. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants including, but not limited to, debt service coverage and debt to net worth ratios.

 The Company has a $3,000,000 line-of-credit with its bank which expires in September 2005. Borrowings under the line-of-credit are payable on demand and bear interest at the bank’s base rate which may change from time to time (6.0% at June 30, 2005). At June 30, 2005 there were no borrowings under the line of credit. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow against accounts receivable and inventories according to pre-established criteria. The Company expects to extend the maturity date of the line-of-credit agreement in the third quarter of 2005.

Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under its financing arrangements.


(13)
Grant Awards

The Company has been awarded various grants by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the NIH under its Small Business Innovative Research Program. Grants under this program are being used to support development of a new technology, Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (“NIRS”) which can non-invasively measure the brain oxygenation level of a neonatal patient. In accordance with the terms of these grants, the Company is reimbursed for certain qualifying expenditures.

Grants under the NIH program include a phase II award received during May 2004 approximating $1,000,000 for continued development in the adult population. During March 2004, the Company was awarded a $100,000 grant for developing a new generation of automated non-invasive blood pressure (“NIBP”) monitors, which have incorporated advanced NIBP algorithms that compensate for arterial stiffness.

During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, approximately $141,000 and $115,000, respectively, of such research and development costs were reimbursed under the grants. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, approximately $251,000 and $144,000, respectively, of such costs were reimbursed. Funding provided to the Company is being recorded as a reduction in R&D expenses. The Company recognizes the reimbursement on an accrual basis as the qualifying costs are incurred.
 
The Company is pursuing additional NIH grants to support its NIRS research.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements included in this report, including without limitation statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s current expectations regarding future events. The Company cautions that such statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results which may be contained in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following: foreign currency fluctuations, regulations and other economic and political factors which affect the Company’s ability to market its products internationally, new product introductions by the Company’s competitors, increased price competition, dependence upon significant customers, availability and cost of components for the Company’s products, marketplace acceptance for the Company’s new products, FDA and other governmental regulatory and enforcement actions, and changes to federal research and development grant programs presently utilized by the Company.

Restatement

During the 2004 year-end audit, management, together with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that its accounting with respect to a postretirement benefit plan (the “Plan”) was not in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, “Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions”. Under Statement No. 106, companies are required to estimate the total future costs of providing postretirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees service period. During January 2002, the Company established the Plan for its qualifying employees who reach age sixty-five and have provided ten years of service to the Company. The Plan provides certain prescription drug and supplemental health benefits for Medicare qualified retirees of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan is to provide benefits under an insurance contract paid on behalf of the participants. In February 2005, the Company amended the plan to require participants to contribute fifty percent of health insurance premiums under the plan beginning September 1, 2005.

Statement No. 106 requires the Company to estimate the total cost of providing post-retirement benefits and recognize that cost over the employees’ service period. Prior to retroactively applying Statement No. 106, the Company recognized the benefit cost using the cash basis of accounting. The benefits are funded through the purchase of medical insurance for each retiree each year. The Company continues to fund the Plan on a “pay-as-you-go” basis.

The Company has evaluated its post-retirement benefit arrangements in accordance with FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003”. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Company’s post-retirement benefit costs do not reflect amounts associated with the subsidy because it is unable to conclude whether the benefits provided by the Plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.

The accompanying statement of income for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 have been restated to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $50,522 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $17,678. The accompanying statements of income and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 have been restated to include additional benefit expense related to the Plan of $101,044 and for the related deferred income tax benefit of $35,355.
 
The discussion which follows reflects, as applicable, restated amounts for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004.
 
Results of Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of approximately $382,000, or
 

Form 10-QSB
June 30, 2005
Page  14
 
$0.03 per common share on a diluted basis compared to net income of $262,000 or $0.02 per diluted share reported for the same period of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of approximately $733,000, or $0.06 per diluted share compared to net income of $478,000, or $0.04 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

The Company generated revenues of $5,883,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $1,000,000, or 20%, over revenues of $4,883,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Included in the results for the second quarter of 2005 are approximately forty five days of sales from Statcorp, acquired on May 15, 2005, which accounted for $822,000 of the increase in overall sales. Revenues were also led by a 16% increase in blood pressure product sales generated primarily by increases in sales to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and vital signs monitor sales. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in sales of apnea products. Apnea results continue to reflect soft market conditions.

The Company recorded revenues of $10,831,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $1,392,000, or 15%, over the $9,439,000 recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Sales of Statcorp products accounted for $822,000 of the increase in overall sales. Blood pressure product sales accounted for the balance of the increase and were led by increases in OEM sales and sales of vital signs monitors and accessories. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in Apnea product sales.

The cost of product sold as a percentage of revenues was 55.4% for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to 55.8% for the same period of 2004. Cost of product sold for the first six months of 2005 was 55.1% compared to 55.4% for the same period of the prior year. The reduction in the cost of product sold as a percentage of revenues for both periods is generally product mix related.

Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased $36,000 or 14%, to $283,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $247,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in R&D spending resulted primarily from salaries and related benefits, engineering project costs, facilities related costs resulting from the Company’s lease commitment to separately house certain of its R&D efforts, and a reduction in reimbursements from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) under established grant programs. R&D expenses increased $14,000, or 3%, to $535,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $521,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Increases in salaries and related benefits, facilities costs, travel and entertainment and engineering project material costs were partially offset by an increase in NIH reimbursements. R&D expenses before reimbursements increased 18% to $787,000, or 7% of revenues for the six months ended compared to $665,000, or 7% of revenues for the first six months of the prior year. The Company has ongoing grant programs with the NIH and anticipates continued reimbursements under these programs during the remainder of 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) increased $236,000, or approximately 16%, to $1,727,000 or 29.4% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1,491,000 or 30.5% of revenues for the second quarter of 2004. S,G&A expenses of Statcorp accounted for $152,000 of the increase. S,G&A spending, excluding Statcorp expenses, increased $84,000, or 6%. Increased marketing expenses including meetings and convention costs were primarily responsible for the remainder of the increase in S,G&A expenses. S,G&A expenses increased $172,000, or approximately 5.7%, to $3,199,000 or 29.5% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $3,027,000 or 32.1% for the same period of the prior year. Statcorp expenses of $152,000 were primarily responsible for the increase in S,G&A expenses. Increases in domestic selling expenses including salaries, commissions and related fringe benefits and travel and entertainment expenses were primarily responsible for the balance of the increase in S,G&A expenses.
 
Interest expense increased to $34,000 for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $21,000 for the second quarter of 2004. $32,000 of the interest expense pertained to the Statcorp acquisition loan consummated on May 16, 2005. Interest expense decreased to $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $49,000 for the first six months of the prior year. Interest expense of $32,000 pertaining to the acquisition loan was primarily responsible for the overall interest expense recorded. Interest expense of $49,000 for the prior year was primarily related to certain outstanding bank term debt that the Company subsequently paid off in advance during the second and third quarters of 2004, and the Company’s mortgage on its main facility.

The provision for income taxes of $195,000 and $361,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 reflects an expected effective rate of approximately 33% for 2005. The combined estimated federal and state effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate as a result of anticipated R&D tax credits. The provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2004 reflects a provision for income taxes at an effective tax rate of 35% offset by an $80,000 income tax benefit resulting primarily from a refund pertaining to state R&D tax credits.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30 2005, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,506,000 compared to $1,973,000 at December 31, 2004. Working capital increased by $876,000 to $6,982,000 at June 30, 2005, from $6,106,000 on December 31, 2004. The Company’s current ratio declined to 3.0 to 1 from 4.0 to 1.

Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $55,000 compared to cash provided by operations of $1,676,000 for the first six months of the prior year. Payments of federal income taxes and employee bonuses and increases in accounts receivable and inventories were primarily responsible for the decrease in cash provided by operations compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Cash used by investing activities was $4,635,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $328,000 for the first six months of the prior year reflecting $197,000 of increased expenditures for equipment and intangible assets and $4,112,000 for the purchase of Statcorp. Equipment purchases of $439,000 were primarily related to the acquisition and installation of the Company’s new enterprise resource planning system and related hardware upgrades, leasehold improvements related to a three year facilities lease agreement effective December 2004 and manufacturing inspection equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $4,222,000 compared to cash used of $819,000 for the first six months of the prior year. During May 2005, the Company entered into a fixed rate multi-year obligation for $4,200,000 with its bank to fund the Statcorp acquisition. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company repaid $634,000 of outstanding debt obligations.

The Company has a $3,000,000 line-of-credit with its bank which expires in September 2005. Borrowings under the line-of-credit are payable on demand and bear interest at the bank’s base rate which may change from time to time (6.0% at June 30, 2005). At June 30, 2005, there were no borrowings under the line of credit. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow against accounts receivable and inventories according to pre-established criteria. Substantially all assets of the Company are required to be pledged as collateral for borrowings under the line-of-credit. The Company expects to extend the maturity date of the line-of-credit agreement in the third quarter of 2005.

The Company believes that its source of funds consisting of cash and cash equivalents and funds available from the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet its current and expected requirements over the next twelve months. Although there can be no assurance that the Company’s revolving credit facility will be renewed, management believes that, if needed, it would be able to find alternative sources of funds on commercially acceptable terms.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimates include those related to revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory, and valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, useful lives of intangible assets, warranty obligations and accruals. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on
 

Form 10-QSB
June 30, 2005
Page  16
 
various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a complete description of accounting policies, see Note 3 to our financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. There were no significant changes in critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
 
ITEM3
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of disclosure controls and procedures in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Reference is made to the Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer about these and other matters attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1 to this report.
