EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Vital Images, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003, which was originally filed on August 14, 2003 (the “Form 10-Q”), principally to amend specific items of the Form 10-Q to reflect: (1) the change in classification of certain customer support costs, which had previously been reported as a sales and marketing expense rather than as cost of revenue – maintenance and services, and (2) the change in classification of amortization expense related to technology licensed from a third party, which had, prior to the third quarter of 2003, been reported as research and development expense rather than cost of revenue- license fees. In addition, the Company has enhanced certain previously included disclosures regarding accounting policies related to revenue recognition. The changes in classifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported revenue, operating income, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share, nor did the changes in classifications impact the Company’s balance sheets or statements of cash flows. This Amendment No. 1 amends only portions of the Form 10-Q; the remainder of the Form 10-Q is unchanged and is not reproduced in this Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the original filing of the Form 10-Q.

 

This Amendment No. 1 contains changes to the following disclosures:

 

•     Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

•     Part I - Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

respectively.

 

(5) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

 

The Company has stock-based employee and director compensation plans, which the Company accounts for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee and director compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss), as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee and director compensation.

(6) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS No. 123.”  This Statement amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation.  In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, and disclosure requirements are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.  The Company has provided the additional disclosures required by SFAS 148 in the first two quarters of 2003.  The Company intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion

No. 25 and related interpretations.  Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 148 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.”  This interpretation elaborates on the disclosures required in financial statements concerning obligations under certain guarantees.  It also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of liabilities by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees.  The disclosure requirements of this interpretation were effective for the Company on December 31, 2002 and, accordingly, are reflected in the Company’s financial statements.  The recognition provisions of the interpretation are effective for the Company in 2003 and are applicable only to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  Adoption of this interpretation did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

(7) PRIVATE PLACEMENT:

 

In June 2003, the Company completed a private placement of 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $13.50 per share for total gross proceeds of $20,250,000.  After deducting placement fees and other offering costs of $1,259,000, the Company received net proceeds of $18,991,000.  A registration statement covering the resale of the shares was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 20, 2003.  If the SEC, on or before October 3, 2003, has not declared the registration statement effective, the Company will be required to pay the investors on October 4, 2003 and each thirtieth day thereafter a payment as partial compensation for the delay.  The payment will be equal to 1% of the purchase price paid for the shares purchased by the investors and not previously sold until the SEC declares the registration statement effective.  However, the payment will not exceed 5% of the purchase price in the aggregate.  The maximum amount the Company would be required to pay the investors is $1,013,000.

 

(8) RESTATEMENT OF COST OF REVENUE, SALES AND MARKETING AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:

 

The Company has restated its unaudited financial statements to (1) change the classification of certain customer support costs, which had previously been reported as a sales and marketing expense rather than as cost of revenue — maintenance and services and (2) change the classification of amortization expense related to technology licensed from a third party, which had, prior to the third quarter of 2003, been reported as research and development expense rather than cost of revenue- license fees.  The Company has made the appropriate modifications to the statements of operations to give effect to these changes in classification.  The changes in these classifications: (1) increased cost of revenue- maintenance and services and reduced sales and marketing expense by corresponding amounts and (2) increased cost of revenue- license fees and reduced research and development expense by corresponding amounts. The changes in classifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported revenue, operating income, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share, nor did the changes in classifications affect the Company’s balance sheets or statements of cash flows. The table below summarizes the effect of the changes in classifications.

ITEM 2.

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

 

Overview

 

Vital Images develops, markets and supports 3D medical imaging software for use primarily in disease screening, clinical diagnosis and therapy planning.  The Company’s software applies proprietary computer graphics and image processing technologies to a wide variety of data supplied by computed tomography (“CT”) scanners and magnetic resonance (“MR”) imaging devices.  Vital Images’ products allow clinicians to create both two- and three-dimensional views of human anatomy and to non-invasively navigate within these images to better visualize and understand internal structures and pathologies.  The Company believes that its high-speed visualization technology and customized protocols cost-effectively bring 3D visualization and analysis into the routine, day-to-day practice of medicine.  The Company, which operates in a single business segment, markets its products to healthcare providers and to manufacturers of diagnostic imaging systems through a direct sales force in the United States and independent distributors in international markets.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company’s 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 management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The following represents those critical accounting policies and estimates where materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects the Company’s estimate of losses that may result from the uncollectibility of accounts receivable.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is based primarily on an analysis of individual accounts for which the Company has information indicating the customer may not be able to pay amounts owed to the Company.  In these cases, based on the available facts and circumstances, the Company estimates the amount that will be collected from such customers.  The Company also evaluates the collectibility of our accounts receivable in the aggregate based on factors such as the aging of receivable amounts, customer concentrations, historical experience, and current economic trends and conditions.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted when additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved. If circumstances change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of accounts receivable could be reduced or increased by a material amount.  Such a change in estimated recoverability would be accounted for in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known.  As of June 30, 2003, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $264,000.

 

Deferred tax asset.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Presently the Company maintains a valuation allowance to offset all of its net deferred tax asset.  While the Company has considered future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to reduce the valuation allowance and increase the net recorded deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such a determination was made, and such a determination will become more likely if the Company continues to generate income.  Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such a determination was made.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company had recorded a valuation

 

12



 

allowance against the deferred tax assets of $8,598,000. Despite the full valuation allowance, the income tax benefits related to these deferred tax assets will remain available to offset future taxable income.

 

Long-Lived Assets. The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of property and equipment and intangible assets purchased in the normal course of business to determine whether current events or circumstances, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” warrant adjustments to such carrying amounts.  In reviewing the carrying values of property and equipment and intangible assets purchased in the normal course of business, the Company considers, among other things, the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset. To the extent these estimated cash flows significantly change, an impairment would be identified.

 

Revenue Recognition.  The Company licenses its software and sells products and services to end-users and also indirectly through OEMs and independent distributors. Terms offered by the Company do not differ based on whether the customer is an end-user, OEM or independent distributor.  The Company offers terms that require payment within 30 to 90 days after product delivery.  The Company does not offer rights of return, acceptance clauses or price protection to its customers.

 

License fees revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software.  Hardware revenue is derived from the sale of system hardware, including peripheral equipment.  Maintenance and service revenue is derived from hardware and software maintenance and from services consisting of installation, training and engineering services. The Company’s software licenses are always sold as part of an arrangement that includes a maintenance arrangement and often installation and training services. The Company generally sells hardware as part of a system sale, which includes a software license and often installation and training services.  Occasionally, the Company sells hardware as part of a system upgrade or additional product sale.  Engineering services consist of software modification or development services that are sold separately to OEMs.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,  Software Revenue Recognition,  as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101.  The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.

 

The Company evaluates the credit worthiness of all customers.  In circumstances where the Company does not have experience selling to a customer and lacks adequate credit information to conclude collection is probable, revenue is deferred until the arrangement fees are collected and all other revenue recognition criteria in the arrangement have been met.

 

In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for services and multiple-element arrangements.

 

Software and Hardware

Revenue from license fees and hardware is recognized when shipment of the product has occurred, no significant Company obligations with regard to implementation remain and the Company’s services are not considered essential to the functionality of other elements of the arrangement.  See also “— Multiple Element Arrangements” below for further information.

 

Services

Revenue from maintenance arrangements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance

 

13



 

arrangements.

 

Revenue from training and installation services is recognized as the services are provided to customers.

 

Revenue from engineering services, where the Company is performing significant customization or modification of software, is recognized using contract accounting on a percentage-of-completion basis.  The Company records revenue by reference to actual hours incurred to date and the estimated hours remaining to complete the services.

 

Multiple-Element Arrangements

The Company enters into arrangements with customers that include a combination of software products, system hardware, specified upgrades, maintenance or installation and training services.  For such arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue using the residual value method.  The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable element of the arrangement based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverable elements determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence. The fair value of maintenance services is based upon the renewal rate for continued service arrangements.  The fair value of installation and training services is established based upon separate pricing for the services. In software arrangements for which the Company does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when vendor-specific objective evidence is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all elements have been delivered.

 

Expense Restatement—Change in Classifications

 

Vital Images has restated its financial statements to (1) change the classification of certain customer support costs, which had previously been reported as a sales and marketing expense rather than as a cost of revenue – maintenance and services and (2) change the classification of amortization expense related to technology licensed from a third party, which had, prior to the third quarter of 2003, been reported as research and development expense rather than cost of revenue- license fees.  The Company has made the appropriate modifications to the statements of operations to give effect to these changes in classifications.  The changes in these classifications: (1) increased cost of revenue- maintenance and services and reduced sales and marketing expense by corresponding amounts and (2) increased cost of revenue- license fees and reduced research and development expense by corresponding amounts. The changes in classifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported revenue, operating income, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share, nor did the changes in classifications affect the Company’s balance sheets or statements of cash flows. See Note 8 of the accompanying notes to the financial statements for the amounts of these changes in classifications.

 

Revenue

 

Revenue was $7,530,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with $4,874,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a 54% increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenue was $14,321,000 compared with $9,317,000 in the comparable six-month period of the prior year, a 54% increase. The revenue growth was driven by the increase in the Company’s core revenue components of software license fees and maintenance and services revenue. Core revenue increased 59% to $6,709,000 for the second quarter of 2003 from $4,213,000 for the same period of 2002.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, core revenue increased 60% to $13,029,000 from $8,135,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenue from sales to Toshiba Corporation, Medical Systems Group (“Toshiba”) totaled $5,652,000, or 39% of 2003 total revenue, compared with $3,421,000, or 37% of 2002 total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

 

14



 

The $2,057,000 increase in software license fee revenue for the quarter and the $3,685,000 increase for the year to date period resulted primarily from an increase in Vitrea® 2 options and increased sales to Toshiba.  The Company generated 73.5% revenue growth from the sale of Vitrea 2 options, including VScore™, CT Colonography, Automated Vessel Measurements and CT Cardiac.  The sale of Vitrea 2 options totaled $4,772,000 for the first six months of 2003 compared with $2,751,000 in the first six months of 2002.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, software license fee revenue from sales to Toshiba totaled $4,463,000 compared with $2,905,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

 

Maintenance and services revenue increased 46% to $1,384,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $945,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002.  Maintenance and services revenue increased 66% to $3,051,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1,842,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.  Of the $1,209,000 increase for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 2002, $544,000 consisted of an increase in maintenance revenue and $535,000 was an increase in training revenue.  For the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, $290,000 of the $439,000 increase was an increase in training revenue and $219,000 was an increase in maintenance revenue.  The increases in maintenance revenue were due to the Company adding new customers to the installed base and collecting back maintenance from customers whose maintenance had lapsed.  The installed base of Vitrea customers increased from approximately 700 at June 30, 2002 to approximately 1,100 at June 30, 2003.  The increases in training revenue were due to an overall increase in the number of training sessions sold with the customers’ initial purchases of software.  The increase in maintenance and services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was partially due to an increase in revenue from engineering services rendered under product development agreements with Medtronic Surgical Navigation Technologies (“SNT”), E-Z-EM, Inc. and Toshiba.  The Company generated $380,000 of such service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from E-Z-EM, Inc. and SNT.  For the first six months of 2002, the Company had generated $320,000 for engineering services rendered to SNT and Toshiba.

 

Hardware revenue increased 24% to $821,000 for the second quarter of 2003 from $661,000 in the second quarter of 2002.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, hardware revenue increased 9% to $1,292,000 from $1,182,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.  The lower growth rate of hardware revenue compared to the total revenue growth rate was primarily due to a slower growth rate of complete system sales compared to software-only sales, which are primarily to Toshiba and international resellers.  The lower growth rate in hardware revenue was also due to lower unit pricing for hardware platforms shipped.

 

Gross Margin

 

The gross margin percentage increased to 73% and 75% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, from 68% and 69% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.  The increase in gross margin in the three and six month periods is largely attributable to the increase in software-only sales and sales of software options, which have higher margins.  Software license revenue, which generates higher gross margins than hardware revenue, increased 59% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. Meanwhile, hardware revenue increased only 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002, and maintenance and services revenue increased 66% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002.  The Company anticipates the overall gross margin percentage in future periods may be lower than the gross margin rates achieved through June 30, 2003, but this determination can be affected by the amount of software-only revenue as well as the mix of revenue from maintenance and services and hardware.

 

15



 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $2,454,000, or 33% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from $1,505,000, or 31% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a 63% increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, sales and marketing expenses increased 55%, to $4,574,000, or 32% of total revenue, from $2,943,000, or 32% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2002.  The increases were primarily due to increases in compensation costs as a result of additional personnel required to support recent growth and increased sales commissions as a result of increased revenue.  Compensation costs increased $670,000 and $1,066,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002. The number of total sales and marketing personnel increased from 28 at June 30, 2002 to 36 at June 30, 2003.  There was also a $205,000 increase in expenses related to utilizing outside consultants to help sell and promote Vitrea 2 and Vitrea 2 options for the six months ended June 30, 2003.  The Company expects sales and marketing costs to increase in future periods as a result of the cost of additional sales and marketing personnel.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses increased 39%, to $1,313,000, or 17% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with $947,000, or 19% of total revenue, for the same period last year. For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, research and development expenses increased 46% to $2,694,000, or 19% of total revenue, from $1,848,000, or 20% of total revenue, for the comparable period in the prior year.  The expense increase was primarily due to increased compensation costs resulting from additional personnel supporting the development of Vitrea 2.  Compensation costs increased $214,000 and $534,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002.  Total research and development personnel increased from 27 at June 30, 2002 to 33 at June 30, 2003.  In addition, there was a $60,000 and $159,000 decrease during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, in research and development expenses classified as cost of revenue due to less service being performed related to SNT product development agreements.  The Company anticipates that research and development costs will increase in future periods as the Company develops software tools for applications with large potential markets, such as cardiovascular disease, disease screening applications such as colon cancer, and surgical and therapy planning, but management expects these costs will continue to decline as a percentage of total revenue.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses increased to $1,074,000, or 14% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2003, from $706,000, or 14% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a 52% increase.  The $368,000 increase for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to June 30, 2002 was primarily due to a $138,000 increase in compensation costs related to additional personnel and a $100,000 NASDAQ National Market registration fee.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased 21%, to $2,100,000, or 15% of total revenue, from $1,736,000, or 19% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2002.  The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002 was primarily due to a $240,000 increase in compensation costs related to additional personnel and a $162,000 increase in registration and filing fees and shareholder reporting expenses.  Total general and administrative personnel increased from 14 at June 30, 2002 to 17 at June 30, 2003.  In addition, legal fees increased $84,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 due to business development and patent work.  General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 includes $230,000 related to severance for the Company’s former chief executive officer.  The Company believes that general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods due to increased infrastructure costs as the business grows, but management expects that these costs will decrease or remain unchanged from the current percentage of total revenue.

Results of Operations

 

The increasing revenue, including Vitrea 2 and add-on software options shipments, net of the increased expenses attributable to the development of the Company’s infrastructure and the development and promotion of the Vitrea 2 product, resulted in an operating income of $656,000 and $1,304,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to an operating income of  $172,000 and an operating loss of $102,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

 
Interest Income

 

The increase in interest income was due to a higher average balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.  The average balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased from approximately $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due to increased cash flows from operations and the completion of the private placement in June 2003.

 

Income Taxes

 

The income tax provisions for the first six months of 2003 and 2002 consisted primarily of certain state minimum fees and the Federal alternative minimum tax.  As a result of the Company’s history of generating net operating losses, the Company has established a valuation allowance to completely reserve for the deferred tax assets of the Company.  The Company continues to monitor the realizability of the benefits related to its net deferred tax assets.  To the extent management estimates that the realization of this benefit is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation will be reversed.  To the extent that the Company continues to generate income before income taxes on a consistent basis and such income is judged to be sufficient to indicate the ability to realize some or all of these benefits, management will reverse a portion or all of the valuation allowance.  Management believes such a reversal could be appropriate during 2003.  Such a reversal would result in an income tax benefit in the period of reversal.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2003, the Company had $27,505,000 in cash and cash equivalents, working capital of $30,623,000, and no borrowings.

 

Cash flows provided by operations increased to $2,383,000 in the first six months of 2003 from cash used in operations of $353,000 in the first six months of 2002.  In the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, $3,021,000 of the cash generated was from increases in net income, deferred revenue and non-cash expenses for depreciation.  These increases were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets.  In the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, the use of cash resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, partially offset by increases in deferred revenue, non-cash expenses for depreciation and accounts payable.

 

Of the $1,133,000 and $766,000 increases in deferred revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, $902,000 and $313,000,respectively, were due to volume increases in Vitrea 2 sales and renewals of annual maintenance.  The $760,000 increase and $1,436,000 increase in accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were primarily due to revenue increases.  The days sales outstanding on an annualized basis improved from 103 days at June 30, 2002 to 76 days at June 30, 2003.  The increase in accounts payable for the six

months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was due to the timing of payments and the volume of expenses.  The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was due primarily to a $117,000 increase in prepaid insurance and a $100,000 increase in revenue in excess of billings related to service revenues recognized using the percentage of completion method.

 

The Company used cash of $3,310,000 and $4,896,000 for investing activities during the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The Company used $1,043,000 and $884,000 of cash for net investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for property and equipment purchases.  The purchases for both periods were primarily to upgrade computer equipment and to purchase computer equipment for new personnel.  In addition, the Company purchased furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements related to expansions of the Company’s offices in both periods.  Management anticipates that the Company will continue to purchase property and equipment necessary in the normal course of business.  The amount and timing of these purchases and the related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and depends on a number of factors, including the hiring of employees and the rate of change of computer hardware.  The Company used $4,888,000 and $4,012,000 to purchase investments in marketable securities during the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The Company realized $2,621,000 of proceeds from maturities of marketable securities during the six months ended June 30, 2003.  The marketable securities are invested in U.S. government obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, corporate commercial obligations and certificates of deposits.

 

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $20,310,000 and $2,755,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Of the cash provided during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, $18,991,000 consisted of net proceeds, after deducting placement fees and other offering costs of $1,259,000, from the Company’s private placement of 1.5 million shares of common stock at $13.50 per share.  A registration statement covering the resale of the shares has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  If the SEC on or before October 3, 2003 has not declared the registration statement effective, the Company will be required to pay the investors on October 4, 2003 and each thirtieth day thereafter a payment as partial compensation for the delay.  The payment will be equal to 1% of the purchase price paid for the shares purchased by the investors and not previously sold until the SEC declares the registration statement effective.  However, the payment will not exceed 5% of the purchase price in the aggregate.  Although there can be no assurance, management believes the Company will be able to complete the registration of the shares before the deadline.  The maximum amount the Company would be required to pay the investors is $1,013,000.

 

The remaining $1,319,000 and $2,755,000 of cash provided by financing activities in the 2003 and 2002 six-month periods, respectively, was from the sale of common stock upon the exercise of options granted under stock option plans and the exercise of warrants.  In December 2001, the Company announced its decision to exercise its right to redeem its outstanding redeemable, five-year common stock warrants issued in its December 1999 private placement. The warrant holders exercised all of the outstanding warrants in December 2001 and January 2002.  The net cash proceeds from the January 2002 exercises were approximately $1,719,000.

 

The Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends and does not intend to pay dividends in the near future.

If the Company’s operations progress as anticipated, of which there can be no assurance, management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand and generated from operations should be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.  The timing of the Company’s future capital requirements, however, will depend on a number of factors, including the ability and willingness of physicians to use three-dimensional visualization and analysis software in clinical diagnosis, surgical planning, patient screening and other diagnosis and treatment protocols; the ability of the Company to successfully market its products; the ability of the Company to differentiate its volume rendering software from competing products employing surface rendering or other technologies; the ability of the Company to build and maintain an effective sales and distribution channel; the impact of competition in the medical visualization business; the ability of the Company to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals; and the ability of the Company to enhance existing products and develop new products on a timely basis.  To the extent that the Company’s operations do not progress as anticipated, additional capital may be required.  There can be no assurance that any required additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all, and the failure to obtain any such capital would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
