NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report
are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or
for the entire fiscal year. The Company believes that the quarterly
information presented includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal,
recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited annual financial statements.
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain
firm sales commitments to customers which are denominated in foreign
currencies. The purpose of the Company's foreign hedging activities is to
protect the Company from the risk that the eventual dollar cash flows
resulting from the sale of products to international customers will be
adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Gains and losses realized
on these contracts are recorded in operations, offsetting the related
foreign currency transactions. The cash flows related to the gains and
losses on these foreign currency hedges are classified in the statements of
cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities.
At December 28, 1996 the Company had forward exchange contracts, all
having maturities of less than one year, to exchange foreign currencies
(major European currencies and Japanese yen) for U.S. dollars totaling
$117.1 million. Of that balance, $66.5 million represented contracts for
terms of 30 days or less. Net unrealized gains from hedging firm sales
commitments, based on current spot rates, were $4.2 million at December 28,
1996. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the
transactions being hedged are recognized.
3. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include the
cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on
the first-in, first-out method.
Inventories consist of the following:

from stock options (using the treasury stock method).
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 28, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended December
30, 1995
Net revenues in 1996 increased 10% to $76.6 million from $69.9 million
in 1995. Worldwide disposable sales increased approximately 10% due to
growth in both the domestic and international markets. Sales of disposables
products accounted for approximately 89% of net revenues for each of the
three month periods ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995.
Worldwide equipment sales increased approximately 10% due to growth in the
domestic surgical market. International sales accounted for approximately
61% and 62%, respectively, of net revenues for the three months ended
December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995.
Gross profit in 1996 decreased 3% to $38.1 million from $39.1 million
in the same period of 1995. As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit
decreased 6.3% to 49.7% in 1996 from 56.0% in 1995. This decrease was
approximately equally attributable to four factors: 1)a shift in the mix of
product sales from the higher margin surgical disposable products to the
lower margin commercial plasma disposable products, 2) pricing pressures
created by the managed care marketplace, 3) the start up of the Company's
services business in the second quarter of the current year and 4) the
strengthening of the dollar. The Company does not see any change in these
trends in the near term.
The Company expended $4.6 million in 1996 on research and development
(6.0% of net revenues) and $4.9 million in the same period of 1995 (7.1% of
net revenues).
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $23.1
million in 1996 from $20.4 million in 1995 and increased as a percentage of
net revenues to 30.2% from 29.2%. The increase resulted primarily from
start up costs for the Company's domestic service business and worldwide
regulatory costs incurred for red cell apheresis.
Operating income, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased 6.2% to
13.5% in 1996 from 19.7% in 1995. Approximately $2.0 million of the $4.7
million operating income shortfall was attributable to the start up of the
Company's services business. The remainder of the shortfall was due equally
to pricing pressures created by the managed care marketplace and the
strengthening of the dollar.
Interest expense decreased in 1996 to $0.4 million from $0.6 million
in the same period of 1995 due to a decrease in both the average borrowings
and borrowing rates. Interest income increased in 1996 to $0.7 million from
$0.5 million in 1995 resulting from an increase in the Company's investment
in sales-type leases.
The provision for income taxes remained at approximately 35% as a
percentage of pretax income for the third quarters of 1996 and 1995.
Nine Months Ended December 28, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended December
30, 1995
Net revenues in 1996 increased 9% to $226.5 million from $207.8
million in 1995. Worldwide disposable sales increased 7.8% due to growth in
international markets. Sales of disposables products accounted for
approximately 88% and 89%, respectively, of net revenues for the nine months
ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995. Worldwide equipment sales
increased 18.4% due to growth in both the domestic blood bank and surgical
markets. International sales accounted for approximately 63% and 61%,
respectively, of net revenues for the nine months ended December 28,1996 and
December 30, 1995.
Gross profit in 1996 increased to $120.3 million from $115.0 million
in 1995. As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit declined 2.3% to
53.1% in 1996 from 55.4% in 1995. The majority of the decrease was
attributable to pricing pressures over all three businesses. The surgical
business felt the largest impact as a result of managed care. The shift in
the mix of product sales from the higher margin surgical disposable products
to the lower margin commercial plasma disposable products and the start up
of the Company's services business in the second quarter of the current
year also contributed to the gross profit shortfall. The impact of these
last two factors was partially offset by the favorable effect of currency on
a year to date comparison.
The Company expended $14.3 million in 1996 on research and development
(6.3% of net revenues) and $13.7 million in 1995 (6.6% of net revenues).
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $68.6 million in
1996 and $60.2 million in 1995 and increased as a percentage of net revenues
to 30.3% from 29.0%. The increase resulted from; 1) the start up costs for
the Company's domestic service business, 2) the worldwide regulatory costs
incurred for red cell apheresis and 3) the creation of a centralized
distribution center in Europe.
Operating income as a percentage of net revenues, decreased 3.3% to
16.5% in 1996 from 19.8% in 1995. Approximately $3.0 million of the $7.5
million operating income shortfall was attributable to the start up of the
Company's services business.
Interest expense decreased in 1996 to $1.3 million from $1.9 million
in 1995 due to both a decrease in average borrowing levels and borrowing
rates. Interest income increased in 1996 to $2.1 million from $1.5 million
in 1995 resulting from an increase in the Company's investment in sales-type
leases.
The provision for income taxes remained constant at 35% of pretax
income in 1996. The annualized rate for the full 12 months of fiscal 1997
will be approximately 35%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company historically has satisfied its cash requirements
principally from internally generated cash flow, stock offerings, and bank
borrowings. During the nine months ended December 28, 1996, the Company
generated $25.7 million in cash flow from operating activities compared to
$45.5 million in cash flow from operating activities for the nine months
ended December 30, 1995. This decrease of $19.8 million in operating cash
flow was primarily a result of growth in the business as seen by increases
in accounts receivables, sales type leases and other trade liabilities.
Financing activities, particularly an increase in revolving credit
agreements generated an additional $8.7 million of cash for the nine months
ended December 28, 1996. The Company's need for funds is derived primarily
from capital expenditures, treasury stock purchases, and an increase in
accounts receivables and sales type leases. During the nine months ended
December 28, 1996, net cash used for capital expenditures was $26.7 million
related to equipment utilized in the U.S. commercial plasma business, the
blood bank services business and investments in facilities and manufacturing
equipment. Increased accounts receivable and sales type leases utilized net
cash from operations of $17.0 million. Lastly, treasury stock purchases
utilized approximately $6.0 million of cash from financing activities. The
Company plans that committed bank lines, combined with internally generated
funds, will be sufficient to meet anticipated liquidity and capital needs
over the foreseeable future.
At December 28, 1996 the Company had working capital of $107.1
million.

Extended term of this Lease for one (1) additional term of
five (5) years (the "Renewal Term"), such Renewal Term to
commence immediately following the Extended Term of the
Lease. Tenant may exercise the right to extend the term
for the Renewal Term only by delivering to Landlord
written notice of Tenant's exercise of such right not less
than one (1) year prior to the termination of the Extended
Term. The terms and conditions of this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect through the Renewal
Term, except that the monthly rental set forth in
paragraph 3 of this First Amendment to Agreement of Lease
shall be increased (but not decreased) pursuant to the
following formula:
Monthly rental = $20,917.58 X CPI in effect on Commencement
for the Renewal Date plus 65% of the amount by
Term for which which the CPI in effect in the
this computation last month of the Extended Term
is made exceed the CPI on Commencement
Date
-------------------------------
CPI on Commencement Date
The CPI, as referred to herein means the "Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers 1984 - 100" relating to
the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, as issued by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor,
or any successor to the functions thereof. In the event of
the conversion of the CPI to a different standard reference
base or any other revision thereof, the determination
hereunder shall be made with the use of such Bureau of Labor
Statistics or successor to the functions thereof or in the
absence of the publication of such conversion factor, formula
or table as Landlord shall reasonably designate.
(b) The foregoing option and right to extend the
term of the Lease for the Renewal Term is subject to (i)
Tenant's timely exercise of this option as herein
provided, (ii) Haemonetics Corporation itself being in
full possession of the Leased Premises at the time of the
exercise of such option and at the commencement of the
Renewal Term, and (iii) Tenant not being in default at the
time of the exercise of the option or at the commencement
of the Renewal Term".
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this First Amendment to
Agreement of Lease on the day and year first above written.
