ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Forward Looking Statements

    Forward looking statements herein are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: acceptance of new products, pricing strategies of competitors, general conditions in the industries served by the Company's products, ability to maintain adequate inventories to respond to customer demand, changes in regulatory requirements for health care related products, and overall economic conditions, including inflation and consumer buying patterns.

    The information presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under "Business", "Properties" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in this report, the words "believe", "expect", "will", "can", "estimate", "anticipate" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

    Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under "Risk Factors", that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Because actual results may differ, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements.

Introduction

    Oxboro Medical, Inc. (the "Company" or "Oxboro") was incorporated in Minnesota in 1978. The Company develops, assembles, and markets single-use medical and surgical products.

Principal Products

    Principal medical products produced and sold by Oxboro include vessel loops, clamp covers, instrument guards, suture aid booties and identification tape. The products are primarily used in the operating room and instrument reprocessing areas of the hospital.

    Raw materials and parts for the products are produced to Oxboro's specifications by various outside vendors. Oxboro uses a clean room facility to assemble, package, and inspect its sterilized products. The assembled products that are sold sterile are sent to an independent contract sterilizer, and samples are tested at an independent laboratory.

Product Distribution

    Medical products are marketed through Oxboro's telemarketing department directly to hospitals throughout the United States and Canada and through dealers and kit packaging companies domestically. International sales of medical products are made through distributors and accounted for approximately 8% of medical product sales during both fiscal 2000 and 1999.

Sources Of Supply

    The raw materials used for the extruding, molding, and weaving of the Company's various products are readily available from multiple sources.

3


Patents, Trademarks, Licenses

    The Company has in the past pursued and will, from time to time, pursue registrations in patents, trademarks and licenses in connection with the marketing of its products. Other than certain trademarks and licenses obtained on behalf of Oxboro Outdoors, Inc., which were transferred with the sale of Outdoors on June 30, 1999, the Company filed one patent application in fiscal year 1999. Many of the products currently being marketed by the Company are not unique. Accordingly, the Company believes that the effect of patents on other than a few select products would be negligible. In the event the Company substantially develops and tests any new unique products, patent protection could be important; however, such protection may not be available. In the event the Company attempts to secure patents, it is likely to incur substantial costs in such attempts.

Competition

    The medical products market is extremely competitive. The Company believes that among its direct competitors are firms with substantially greater assets, marketing capability, and experience than the Company. In addition, such competitors are often able to offer lower prices than the Company and thus can limit the Company's penetration and market share. We believe that Oxboro has achieved a substantial portion of the markets in which it competes by offering a balance of competitive factors including selection, price, customer service, convenience, product quality, reliability and speed of order fulfillment. Our continued success will depend upon the ability of our sales and marketing program to implement and close sales. In addition, our principal executive officers and key personnel have extensive experience in sales of medical products.

Government Regulation

    Because Oxboro manufactures and sells medical products, both the products and the manufacturing procedures are subject to regulation in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration and in the European Community by the Medical Device Directives. As a result, Oxboro is subject to extensive rules and regulations, compliance with which may require expenditure of material amounts. In addition, should Oxboro fail to comply with such regulations it would be subject to administrative and criminal actions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company's operations may also be affected if Congress or the European Community passes new legislation or if courts issue new rulings with respect to existing legislation. Continued compliance with all regulatory requirements may require significant expenditures.

Employees

    As of September 30, 2000, Oxboro employed 46 full-time and 4 part-time employees.

Risks Related to Our Business

    The following are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

We have sustained losses in the past due to subsidiary operations

    We have incurred substantial losses in recent years that have depleted our working capital and reduced our stockholders' equity. While we generated net income from continuing operations of $904,670 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, we have incurred significant losses in prior years. These losses have resulted principally from expenses incurred in the development of our former subsidiary, Oxboro Outdoors, Inc. ("Oxboro Outdoors"), expenses due to payment of severance packages to our former officers in connection with related proxy litigation and a one-time medical inventory write down of approximately $240,000 in fiscal year 1999. On June 30, 1999, we completed

4


the sale of Oxboro Outdoors. However, prior to the sale and as a result of losses in Oxboro Outdoors, we incurred significant operating losses. We have taken measures to increase our sales revenues and profit margins and expect to show further improvement as a result of the sale of Oxboro Outdoors, however, there can be no assurance that our core business will operate profitably in the future, or that any profits from operations will be significant.

If we cannot maintain adequate operating capital and bank financing, our business will suffer

    Our business plan and financial needs are subject to change depending on, among other things, market conditions, business opportunities and cash flow from operations, if any. We currently have a $550,000 line of credit that will expire on March 31, 2001. There can be no assurance that this line of credit will be extended beyond March 31, 2001. As of September 30, 2000, we had no outstanding balance on the line of credit. We expect to continue to borrow against this line of credit in the future. However, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources in the future to fulfill our obligations in a timely manner under the current loan agreement. Failure to meet our loan obligations would have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we do not remain competitive in the markets we serve, our business will be adversely affected

    There is growing pressure on healthcare providers in general, and the surgical area in particular, to reduce costs. The trend is towards hospitals purchasing through buying groups and other large distributors, which generally occurs at lower prices than selling direct to the customer. This trend will make it difficult to maintain and grow sales at our historic profit margins. If we are not able to introduce new products into such an economic environment and compete at prices lower than that charged by other larger distributors, our business will be adversely affected.

We are dependent on our management and key personnel to succeed

    We depend on the extensive experience in sales of medical products of our principal executive officers and key personnel. Our business requires significant research and development efforts to bring our products to market. Our continued success also depends on the ability of our marketing and sales program to implement and close the sales. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other skilled and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could impede the achievement of our business objectives and have a material adverse effect on our business.

The pricing strategies of our competitors and our response to those strategies may result in a decline in our revenues

    The medical products market is extremely competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market are selection, price, customer service, convenience, product quality, reliability and speed of order fulfillment. Among our direct competitors are firms with longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater financial and marketing capability, and greater resources and experience than us. We compete with companies such as Scanlon Instruments, Key Surgical and Healthmark. In addition, our competitors are often able to offer lower prices to customers. Competition from these competitors could limit our market penetration and market share. These factors may have an adverse impact upon our business.

If we do not prevail in a license dispute with a former officer, our revenues and profits could decline

    On March 30, 1999, Larry A. Rasmusson, our former Chief Executive Officer and a former director of Oxboro, notified us that he believed we were in default on exclusive license agreements that we executed with him relating to some of our medical products, including bulldogs, fabric ties,

5


Radiopaque fabric clamp covers, bulk and fabric tape, loops, surgical booties, various types of instrument and specialty guards, a tape stripper, patient hangars and patient care holders. As a result, Mr. Rasmusson has taken the position that the rights to these medical products have reverted back to him. We believe we are not in default. Mr. Rasmusson has not initiated legal action to terminate the royalty agreements, but if he were to do so we would aggressively defend ourselves in such action and would challenge the validity of such agreements. In that event, and if necessary and appropriate, we will seek to terminate such agreements and take whatever other actions may be appropriate, including commencing litigation, to terminate the agreements or have them declared invalid or both. If, however, the royalty agreements are found valid, and any resulting litigation is determined adversely to us, we may lose the right to manufacture and distribute products related to the royalty agreements. This would have a substantial negative impact on our revenues and profits until we were able to acquire or develop alternate products.

The success of competitive products could have an adverse effect on our business

    The medical products industry is intensely competitive and hospitals have a wide variety of product choices and technologies from which to choose. The success of any competing alternative product to those provided by Oxboro could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our competitors are companies with substantially greater financial capabilities for product development and marketing and can therefore market their products or procedures to hospitals and the medical community more effectively than we could. In addition, companies having proprietary rights to the products we sell could choose to market their products directly to our customers and competitors selling the same or similar products may duplicate our marketing methods and reduce our ability to effectively sell our product lines. The success of alternative products or of competitors selling those products will have a material adverse impact on our business.

If we fail to acquire products or develop new products, our business will be adversely affected

    We believe that some new products may offer us increased revenue and market penetration, as well as allow us to compete more effectively in our markets. Some of our revenue is used to acquire product lines and develop new products and we are currently evaluating several product lines. We cannot assure you that we will use our revenue effectively in evaluating or acquiring new products. Further, the Company often evaluates new products to offer its customers, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire or successfully develop these new products. Failure to take advantage of opportunities to offer new products, failure to acquire new products that are accepted by the market or inefficient use of resources to evaluate or acquire new products will have a material adverse impact on our business.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may negatively affect our stock price

    We may experience variability in our net sales and operating profit on a quarterly basis as a result of many factors, including, among other things, the buying habits of our customers, size and timing of orders by certain customers, shifts in demand for types of products, technological changes and industry announcements of new products. If revenues do not meet expectations in any given quarter, operating results may be materially adversely affected.

We depend upon third party suppliers

    We currently purchase our component materials from several sources. Alternative suppliers for these materials exist should the current suppliers discontinue production or distribution. However, we would need to investigate the materials obtained from any new suppliers for quality and performance. Additionally, limited notice of the need to switch suppliers for any reason could affect on our ability to fulfill customer orders, which would have a material adverse effect on our profitability. We have not

6


experienced any difficulty with suppliers to date. However, there can be no assurance that delays in the distribution or sale of our products will not occur in the future.

If a product we sell injures a user, we could be subject to a product liability exposure

    We sell medical products which may involve product liability risk. We carry general casualty insurance, including coverage for product liability claims up to $1 million per incident and $2 million aggregate per year. We also carry liability umbrella coverage of $3 million. However, there can be no assurance that this coverage will be adequate for any claims that may be raised. We are not aware of any pending product liability claims against us. However, a successful product liability suit could have a material adverse effect our business operations.

Shareholders who hold less than 100 shares may pay disproportionate commissions on sale of their shares

    Partially as a result of our 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected August 13, 1999, we have a number of shareholders who hold fewer than 100 shares. It is our understanding that the minimum unit for our Common Stock traded by broker dealers in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market is a round lot of 100 shares. Because of this, and the fact that a number of brokerage firms have minimum commission amounts, shareholders holding fewer than 100 shares of our Common Stock might pay a disproportionately high level of commissions upon sale of their shares.

There is no assurance that future capital will be available to us, and additional capital will dilute the holdings of our stockholders

    Our shareholders have no preemptive rights. If we:

our shareholders, who may not participate in any future stock issuance, will experience dilution of their equity investment. At this time, we cannot determine the potential dilution to our shareholders.

    We cannot assure that additional financing will be available, or if available, that it will be available on terms favorable to our shareholders. If funds are not available to satisfy our short-term and long-term operating requirements, we may limit or suspend our operations in the entirety or, under certain circumstances, seek protection from creditors. We believe that future financing undertaken may contain terms that could result in more substantial dilution than we now have, which would adversely affect our business.

Our stock price may be materially affected by market volatility

    The stock market has, from time to time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of companies similar to ours and these fluctuations often have been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. Factors not directly related to our performance, such as negative industry reports or disappointing earnings announcements by publicly traded competitors, may have an adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action claims have often been brought against that company. This litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

7


We may be adversely affected by statutory anti-takeover provisions

    As a Minnesota corporation, we are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act. The authority of the Board with regard to the anti-takeover provisions of the Act could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, may discourage bids for our Common Stock at a premium over the then prevailing market price, and may adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. If we issue additional shares, whether for purposes of raising additional capital or otherwise, it could have the effect of making a takeover more difficult.

Changes in government regulation of the products we sell may negatively affect our business

    Our products are regulated by government agencies in the United States and foreign countries. In the United States, our products are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA regulates, among other things, (1) the content of our products, (2) the product labels, (3) the claims in our product literature and advertising, and (4) the manufacture of the products. The FDA and other government agencies may in the future issue new regulations, or issue new interpretations of existing regulations, which affect the manufacture, marketing and sale of our products. Our operations may also be affected if Congress passes new legislation or if courts issue new rulings with respect to existing legislation. We can offer no assurance that we will not be adversely affected by new, or newly interpreted, regulatory requirements.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

    The Company's Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low closing bid prices for the Company's Common Stock for each quarter of the past two fiscal years as reported by Nasdaq. Such closing bid quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without mark-up, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions. All prices have been adjusted to reflect the Company's 1-for-5 reverse stock split effected August 13, 1999.

  First Quarter   $ 4.0625   $ 2.0000
  Second Quarter     5.7500     3.5000

  Third Quarter     6.2500     4.6875
  Fourth Quarter     5.3125     2.8750

    As of December 8, 2000, there were approximately 238 holders of record of Common Stock. As of December 8, 2000, there were approximately 12 registered holders of three year warrants, or "incentive warrants," for the purchase of Common Stock of the Company. The Company has paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not intend to pay any dividends in the future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

    The Company issued a warrant dated November 17, 2000, for the purchase of the Company's Common Stock to each of two rights warrant holders who had exercised their rights warrants prior to the commencement of the incentive warrant offering. One warrant was for the purchase of 2,177 shares of the Company's Common Stock; the other was for the purchase of 4,800 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Except that the warrants are unregistered and not freely transferable, the terms of the warrants are governed in all respects by the warrant agreement dated August 23, 2000 between the Company and its transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, relating to the warrants offered by the Company in the incentive warrant offering. The Board of Directors determined that, based upon considerations of equity and fairness, it would offer the warrants to the two rights holders for no consideration, just as the incentive warrants were offered to rights holders generally. The Company believes this issuance of securities is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Securities Issued in Rights Offering

    On September 1, 1999, the SEC declared effective the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-83469) relating to its rights offering to shareholders of record at August 20, 1999. The Company registered 890,824 shares of Common Stock and 445,412 warrants for purchase of Common Stock in the offering. For each share held at August 20, 1999, shareholders of the Company were entitled to purchase two shares of Common Stock and one warrant immediately exercisable for purchase of one share of Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.50. The exercise price of the warrants is $2.75. The rights offering terminated on November 30, 1999.

    On December 3, 1999, the Company consummated the sale of 888,590 shares of its Common Stock and 444,295 warrants immediately exercisable for Common Stock pursuant to the offering, resulting in

9


gross proceeds of $1,110,738, plus $11,275 paid on exercise of 4,100 warrants for purchase of an additional 4,100 shares of Common Stock. Net proceeds to the Company after payment of expenses associated with the offering were $1,071,944. Of that amount, approximately $200,000 has been used for working capital and the remainder has been used to purchase available-for-sale securities.

Securities Issued in Incentive Warrant Offering

    On August 23, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-43616) relating to the offering of 417,794 three year common stock purchase warrants, the "incentive warrants" and 417,794 shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Company's September 1, 1999 rights offering, or the "rights warrants." The aggregate offering price of the securities registered was $1,671,176.

    The Company offered one incentive warrant to each holder of the rights warrants. For each rights warrant which was properly exercised after August 23, 2000 and on or before September 30, 2000, the Company issued one incentive warrant to the rights warrant holder at no cost. The rights warrants were exercisable at a price of $2.75 per share of Common Stock. The incentive warrants have a term of three years and will expire on September 29, 2003. The incentive warrants may be exercised at an exercise price of $4.00 per share of Common Stock. Each incentive warrant entitles the holder to receive the one share of Common Stock of the Company upon exercise.

    On October 16, 2000 the incentive warrant offering was extended from September 30, 2000 until October 20, 2000 to accommodate warrant holders who were unable to exercise their rights warrants during the initial offering period as a result of administrative difficulties discovered by the Company following the termination of the initial offering period. The incentive warrant offering terminated on October 20, 2000.

    Gross proceeds from the exercise of the rights warrants were approximately $1,159,000. As a result of the incentive warrant offering and the exercise of rights warrants, the Company issued an additional 392,435 shares of its Common Stock. After payment of legal fees, printing costs and expenses associated with the offering, net proceeds to the Company were $1,081,995.

    The Company has applied all of the proceeds to short term investment grade securities pending their application in the business. The Company currently has no specific plans as to the use of these proceeds.

Compliance with Nasdaq Requirements

    During fiscal year 1999, the Company was notified that it had failed to meet the Nasdaq minimum net tangible asset and market capitalization requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company responded with a plan of compliance that included the sale of its subsidiary, Oxboro Outdoors, Inc., a 1-for-5 reverse stock split and a rights offering extended to shareholders of record of the Company at August 20, 1999. By letter dated October 19, 1999, Nasdaq notified the Company that it had demonstrated compliance with the Nasdaq net tangible asset and market capitalization requirements for continued listing on the SmallCap Market.


ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Results of Operations

    On June 30, 1999, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oxboro Outdoors, Inc., for $385,000 in cash, a 9% promissory note of $265,000, subject to certain adjustments, and the assumption of liabilities of approximately $87,000. Because the final sale price was subject to certain adjustments, the Company established a reserve and as a result, reported a third quarter loss on the sale of $102,045. At the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the final sale price of Oxboro

10


Outdoors was agreed upon, thereby eliminating the need for the reserve. This resulted in a gain from discontinued operations of $105,000 in the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company received a $175,000 payment on the promissory note in October 1999, with the remaining balance of $70,000 plus interest due December 31, 1999. By September 30, 2000, the promissory note had been paid.

    Net sales of medical and surgical products for the Company were $4,587,126 in fiscal 2000 compared to $4,513,424 in fiscal 1999, an increase of approximately 1.6% due to a slight increase in units sold. Competition and the greater emphasis on controlling costs in the health care industry represent ongoing challenges to the Company.

    Gross margin on net sales of medical and surgical products was 65.9% in fiscal 2000 compared to 61.4% in fiscal year 1999. The increase in gross margin percentage is primarily due to inventory write off adjustments and higher labor costs in fiscal year 1999.

    During fiscal 2000, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by 12.8%, or $328,017 as compared to fiscal 1999. For fiscal year 2000, SG&A expenses represented approximately 48.7% as a percentage of sales. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily due to a reduction in consulting expenses and legal fees. The Company's interest expense decreased by approximately $71,459 as a result of lower average borrowings on its line of credit.

    In fiscal 2000, the Company's net income from continuing operations was $904,670 as compared to net income from continuing operations of $74,074 in fiscal 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of September 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $2,602,601 as compared to $1,515,848 at September 30, 1999. Also, at September 30, 2000, the Company had $379,551 in long-term debt and $461,108 in cash and cash equivalents.

    During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company provided $628,308 net cash from operating activities primarily as a result of income from continuing operations and changes in working capital components.

    The Company used $1,357,725 in net cash in investing activities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities, including purchases of common stock of Minntech Corporation.

    During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, net cash provided by financing activities was $887,365, resulting from decreased borrowings on the Company's line of credit and $1,071,944 proceeds from the exercise of stock rights. The Company has a line of credit facility, pursuant to which it can borrow up to $550,000 subject to certain terms and conditions related to the Company's financial performance. Outstanding balances are subject to an annual interest rate of 0.5% over the bank's prime rate (9.25% at September 30, 1999) and are secured by all of the Company's assets. As of September 30, 2000, there was no outstanding balance, however outstanding balances would be subject to an interest rate of 0.5% over the bank's prime rate (10% at September 30, 2000). This credit facility expires in March 2001 and the Company intends to replace the credit facility with a similar agreement prior to that time, although no such agreement is presently in place.

    As described above, on August 23, 2000, the Company effected an offering of incentive warrants to rights warrants holders who exercised their rights warrants on or before September 30, 2000. The incentive warrant offering was extended until October 20, 2000. The incentive warrant offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $1,081,995 after payment of legal fees, printing costs and other expenses. The Company has applied all of the proceeds to short term investment grade securities pending their application in the business. The Company currently has no specific plans as to the use of these proceeds.

    During fiscal year 2001, the Company currently expects to spend approximately $150,000 on capital improvements. We believe we have the financial resources to meet our future business requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Year 2000 Issues

    The Company has assessed and continues to assess the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its reporting systems and operations. The Year 2000 issue exists because many computer systems and applications currently use two-digit fields to designate a year. As the century date occurs, date sensitive systems may recognize the Year 2000 as 1900 or not at all. This inability to recognize or properly treat the Year 2000 may cause systems to process critical financial and operational information incorrectly.

    During 1999 the Company replaced most of its computer systems with new hardware and software. To date the Company's expenditures for Year 2000 compliance have been minimal. It is the Company's belief that all critical computer systems and equipment with embedded systems are Y2K compliant. To date the Company has experienced no problems with its computer systems relating to the Year 2000 issue. The Company does business with other entities which may or may not be Year 2000 compliant, however the Company has experienced no problems with any of these other companies relating to the Year 2000 issue. If any Year 2000 issues arise, the Company plans to devote the necessary resources to resolve all significant Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.

ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

    On March 16, 2000, the Company dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as its independent accountants. The decision to change accountants was recommended by our Board of Directors.

    In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and in the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.

    Grant Thornton LLP's report on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

    The Company has requested and Grant Thornton LLP has furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated March 22, 2000, was filed as Exhibit 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 23, 2000.

    On March 16, 2000, Oxboro engaged Lund Koehler Cox & Arkema LLP as its new independent accountants.

15


upon the achievement of mutually agreed upon objectives. After 30 days of employment, Mr. Bellin was entitled to Company benefits customary to the office of President.

As a condition of his employment, Mr. Bellin also executed an Employee Noncompetition and Confidentiality Agreement with the Company under which he agreed not to engage in activities (described in the Agreement) hostile or adverse to the Company or Oxboro Outdoors, Inc. or that would interfere with his exercise of independent judgment in the Company's best interests.

Under the terms of the Agreement, for a period of one year after termination of the Agreement, Mr. Bellin is prohibited from engaging in activities that are competitive to the Company or Oxboro Outdoors (as described in the Agreement) or from attempting to employ any Company or Outdoors employee or persuading such person to terminate employment with the Company or Oxboro Outdoors. Mr. Bellin's annual salary was increased to $120,000 effective October 1, 1999.

    Mr. Bellin ceased serving as an officer of the Company effective October 6, 2000. In connection with his resignation, he executed a letter agreement dated October 12, 2000 with the Company. The letter agreement provided that, in exchange for consulting services to the Company, Mr. Bellin would be paid his usual salary through December 1, 2000. The letter agreement also summarized the exerciseability of nonqualified options granted to Mr. Bellin on February 15, 1999; options which were not vested as of October 6, 2000 expired. Of the nonqualified options granted to Mr. Bellin on February 15, 1999, options for the purchase of 13,000 shares of our Common Stock were vested as of October 6, 2000 and may be exercised, if at all, on or before April 6, 2001 and additional options to purchase 4,000 were vested as of October 6, 2000 and may be exercised, if at all, on or before January 6, 2001. In the letter agreement, Mr. Bellin also agreed to release the Company and its affiliates from certain claims.

    The Company and J. David Berkley entered into an agreement dated October 31, 2000, effective October 16, 2000 under which Mr. Berkley agreed to serve as the President of Oxboro Medical, Inc. on an "at will" basis. The Agreement provided for an annual salary of $150,000, with a salary review at the end of the first year. Mr. Berkley would also be eligible for a bonus of up to 100% of his salary, based upon the performance of the Company.

    As part of Mr. Berkley's compensation, he received options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The options are exercisable at $3.75 per share. The options vest on the seventh anniversary of employment; however, vesting is accelerated if the Company reaches certain performance goals.

Outside Director Compensation

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Agreements with Larry A. Rasmusson

    Employment Agreements.  During fiscal 1994, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Larry A. Rasmusson, former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whereby he was paid an annual salary determined each fiscal year, a bonus, the amount of which was based upon achievement by the Company of certain financial goals, and other benefits. Effective September 1, 1998, the Company and Mr. Rasmusson entered into a Mutual Release & Noncompetition Agreement (the "Mutual Release & Noncompetition Agreement") that provided for the termination of Mr. Rasmusson's employment agreement in consideration of payment of $150,000 over 24 months, the amendment of his consulting agreement with the Company, the surrender of 510,000 shares of Common Stock to the Company, an amendment to an exclusive license and royalty agreement between

17


Mr. Rasmusson and Oxboro Outdoors, Inc., the rescission of the exercise of options for 220,364 shares of Common Stock of the Company, and a mutual release of claims.

    License Agreements.  Pursuant to an exclusive license agreement, Mr. Rasmusson, as licensor, granted the Company, as licensee, the exclusive right to make, use, and sell certain medical products and to receive information and assistance from Mr. Rasmusson to make, use and sell the products. Mr. Rasmusson is to receive royalties in the amount of 4% of the "net sales price" (as defined) of all licensed products sold. Royalties continue for the life of the product. If at any time a product covered by the agreement is no longer sold by the Company (defined as a reduction by 50% in sales from the previous calendar year), the license will no longer be exclusive as to that product. The agreement contains a provision for increasing the royalty amount if royalty rates paid by the Company to others for similar products are higher than 4%. The agreement also provides that upon the termination of the employment of a former officer, the royalty will be increased from 4% to 6% on certain products, and Mr. Rasmusson and the former officer will each receive royalties of 3% on sales of such products. During fiscal 2000 and 1999, Mr. Rasmusson earned $44,076 and $40,881, respectively, in royalties under this agreement.

    The Company has been notified by Mr. Rasmusson that it is currently in default of royalty agreements related to certain medical products. Mr. Rasmusson has taken the position that the rights to these medical products have reverted back to him. The Company believes that it is not in default. If Mr. Rasmusson were to initiate a legal action to terminate such agreements, the Company would aggressively defend itself in such action and would challenge the validity of such agreements. In that event and if necessary and appropriate, the Company will seek to terminate the agreements or have them declared invalid or both. If, however, the royalty agreements are found valid and any resulting litigation is determined adversely to it, the Company may lose the right to manufacture and distribute products related to the royalty agreements. There could be a substantial negative impact on the Company's revenues and profits in such event until it located and acquired or developed alternative products.

    Oxboro Outdoors, Inc. ("Oxboro Outdoors") entered into an exclusive license and royalty agreement with Mr. Rasmusson pursuant to which Mr. Rasmusson, as licensor, granted Oxboro Outdoors, as licensee, the exclusive right to make, use, and sell certain outdoor recreational products and to receive information and assistance from Mr. Rasmusson to make, use and sell the products. Pursuant to the terms of the Royalty Agreement, advance royalties of $229,241 were paid, by the Company to Mr. Rasmusson and as of June 30, 1999, royalties of $182,201 had been credited against advances paid to Mr. Rasmusson for products sold. The Company's payment obligations terminated with the sale of Oxboro Outdoors on June 30, 1999.

    Consulting Agreements.  During fiscal 1996, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Rasmusson whereby he would be paid an annual consulting fee of $150,000 for a period of five years commencing upon his retirement. Effective September 1, 1998, the Company and Mr. Rasmusson amended the consulting agreement, as part of the Mutual Release & Noncompetition Agreement, to reduce the term of the consulting agreement to 24 months, beginning September 1, 1998 and terminating August 31, 2000, and reduced the compensation payable under the consulting agreement to $485,000 payable in 24 equal monthly installments of $20,208.

    Split Dollar Insurance.  The Company adopted split dollar life insurance plans for the benefit of Mr. Rasmusson. Prior to September 1, 1998 and under the terms of Mr. Rasmusson's plan, the Company paid the annual premiums on two $500,000 insurance policies (the "Policies") on his life. The Policies are whole life policies on which all premiums were paid by the Company and income is imputed to the insured in an amount equal to the term rate for his insurance as established by the insurer. The Policies are owned by Mr. Rasmusson. The plan was designed so that the Company will recover all premium payments, interest, and advances made by it on account of the Policies. The Company's interest in the premium payments, interest, and advances made with respect to the Policies are secured by a collateral assignment of the Policies. Upon the death of Mr. Rasmusson, the Company

18


will be reimbursed from the insurance proceeds paid to the beneficiaries in an amount equal to the total premiums, interest, and advances made by the Company with respect to the Policies. In the event the Policies are surrendered for their cash surrender value at some date in the future, the Company will be reimbursed for the premiums it has paid on the Policies, plus interest. Premiums paid in fiscal 2000 and 1999 on behalf of Mr. Rasmusson totaled $47,775 and $47,095, respectively. Effective September 1, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the Mutual Release & Noncompetition Agreement, the two Policies will be maintained by the Company so long as Mr. Rasmusson pays and maintains his portion of the monthly premiums on said Policies in a timely manner. If the Company fails to maintain payments or terminates either or both of said Policies or if the Policies cancel or terminate for any reason other than Mr. Rasmusson's death, Mr. Rasmusson shall receive all of the cash value and/or termination value. Upon Mr. Rasmusson's death, the benefits under the Policies are to be paid out according to their terms.

Exercise of Stock Options

    The Company was notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market in May 1999 that it failed to meet the minimum net tangible asset requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market. The Company proposed a compliance plan to Nasdaq, which included a rights offering to its shareholders of record at August 20, 1999. For each share held, shareholders were entitled to receive the right to purchase two shares of Common Stock and one immediately exercisable warrant for purchase of Common Stock of the Company for a purchase price of $2.50 per right. In connection with the compliance plan and the rights offering, Kenneth W. Brimmer and Gary W. Copperud, directors of the Company, agreed to purchase shares sufficient to ensure that the Company would meet the Nasdaq net tangible asset requirement following the offering. Pursuant to this agreement, Messrs. Copperud and Brimmer each exercised options to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share for a purchase price of $20,000 each on exercise of their respective options.

    Effective January 15, 1998, John R. Walter, a director of the Company, exercised options to purchase 40,000 (8,000 post-split) shares of the Company's Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $43,200. Mr. Walter paid the exercise price by delivery of a nonrecourse promissory note that provided for payment of the principal in five equal annual installments, commencing in January 1999, together with all interest accrued and unpaid as of the date of payment, and interest at an annual rate of 6%. The shares purchased were pledged as security for the notes. In January 1999, Mr. Walter entered into an agreement with the Company whereby he returned 29,000 (5,800 post-split) shares to the Company in consideration of the cancellation of the promissory note and all accrued interest.

Transactions with Directors

    On April 20, 1999, the Company granted immediately exercisable options to Kenneth W. Brimmer, John E. Sayer and Gary W. Copperud in connection with their service as non-management directors, each for purchase of 4,000 shares at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. The Company also granted an immediately exercisable option to Robert S. Garin to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share for his service as a non-management director.

OXBORO MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

(1)  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Nature of business—Oxboro Medical, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Minnesota in 1978. The Company changed its name from Oxboro Medical International, Inc. to Oxboro Medical, Inc. on March 17, 2000. The Company develops, assembles and markets disposable medical products for use in general and cardiovascular surgery. The Company sells its product to customers located throughout the world.

    Principles of consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oxboro Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oxboro, Inc. (formerly known as Oxboro Medical, Inc.) and Oxboro Outdoors, Inc. On June 30, 1999, Oxboro Outdoors, Inc. was sold (see Note 2). Oxboro, Inc. had no activity for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Cash and cash equivalents—The Company includes as cash equivalents money market and all other investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits.

    Accounts receivable—Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $34,700 and $35,200 at September 30, 2000 and 1999. The Company believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowance are fully collectible. If accounts receivable in excess of the provided allowance are determined uncollectible, they are charged to expense in the year that determination is made. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business.

    Inventories—Inventories consist principally of medical supplies and are recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

    Depreciation—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five to thirty years. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed when incurred.

    Advertising costs—Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expense was $11,242 and $26,017 for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

    Stock-based compensation—In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company's policy is to grant stock options at fair value at the date of grant. Required pro forma disclosures of compensation expense determined under the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," are presented in Note 11.

    Net earnings (loss) per share—Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. The Company's diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents, when dilutive, for the reporting period.

F-8


    Comprehensive income—The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (Statement 130), which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the Company's net income (loss) and net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities and is presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Statement 130 only requires additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. It does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

    Management's use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Financial instruments—The carrying amounts for all financial instruments approximates fair value. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt approximates the carrying amounts based upon the Company's expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.

    Reclassifications—Certain accounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or stockholders' equity.

(2)  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    On June 30, 1999, the Company sold the stock of its subsidiary, Oxboro Outdoors, Inc., a maker of outdoor recreational products, for $385,000 in cash, a 9% promissory note of $265,000 and the assumption of liabilities of approximately $87,000, less a contingency reserve of $20,000. The Company received a $175,000 payment on the promissory note in October 1999 with the remaining balance plus interest received on December 31, 1999. The Company realized a gain on the sale of $2,956.

    Oxboro Outdoors, Inc. incurred a loss from operations of $1,024,722 for the year ended September 30, 1999, which included revenues of $545,974.

(3)  AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

    The Company classifies all securities, which are not cash equivalents, as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with all unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income. There were unrealized gains of $23,865 and $0 for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

(11)  STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

    During 1999, the Company declared a 1-for-5 reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

    The Company initiated a common stock rights offering in 1999. For each share of common stock owned, shareholders were given a right to purchase two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase one additional share of common stock for a total purchase price of $2.50. The term of the warrant was for one year with an exercise price of $2.75. As of September 30, 1999, 148,528 rights were sold which resulted in the issuance of 297,056 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 148,528 additional shares of common stock. Gross proceeds of $371,320 were held by the trustee at September 30, 1999 and were received by the Company on October 5, 1999. Net proceeds from the offering as of September 30, 1999 were $221,123. In November 1999, the Company completed the rights offering. Rights sold in fiscal 2000 totaled 295,767 which resulted in the issuance of an additional 591,534 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 295,767 additional shares of common stock. Proceeds from the sale of rights in fiscal 2000 were $700,624, net of expenses of $38,794.

    On January 5, 1999, the Company terminated the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In connection with the termination, 36,485 shares of common stock were returned to the Company in payment of the outstanding loan amount of $174,306 and related interest receivable of $15,615.

    In August 2000, the Company offered as an incentive to the holder of the warrants (Incentive Offering) to exercise the warrants received in the 1999 rights offering, one new common stock warrant if exercised on or before October 20, 2000. During the year ended September 30, 2000, 421,493 warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $2.75. Proceeds were $1,081,995, net of costs of $77,111.

    Stock warrants—In connection with the Incentive Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 395,441 shares of the Company's common stock at $4.00 per share. The warrants expire on September 29, 2003.

    Stock option plan—The Company has a Stock Option Plan (the Plan) which provides for granting of incentive and nonstatutory stock options to employees and others. The aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be granted at exercise prices not less than fair market value at the date of grant (not less than 110% of fair market value for significant stockholders). The Board of

F-12


Directors or a committee administers the Plan. In general, options vest over five years and expire up to ten years from the date of grant. In addition, the Company has issued options outside the Plan.

    Information regarding the grant of stock options is summarized below:

 
  Number of Options
  Weighted Average
Exercise Price

  Range of
Option
Exercise Price

Options outstanding—September 30, 1998   58,073   $ 6.73   $ 5.00-10.00
  Granted   40,400     6.26     5.00-7.50
  Cancelled   (16,000 )   8.13     6.25-10.00
  Expired   (24,073 )   5.42     5.00-7.50
  Exercised   (8,000 )   5.00     5.00
   
 
 
Options outstanding—September 30, 1999   50,400     6.81     5.00-8.13
  Granted   95,500     3.99     3.50-5.25
  Cancelled   (12,000 )   7.92     5.00-8.13
  Exercised          
   
 
 
Options outstanding—September 30, 2000   133,900   $ 4.77   $ 3.50-7.50
       
 
 
Options exercisable—September 30, 2000   47,700   $ 5.37   $ 3.50-7.50
       
 
 
Weighted average fair value of options granted during 2000       $ 2.52      
       
     

    At September 30, 2000, the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options was 8.24 years.

    In determining the compensation cost of the options granted during 2000 and 1999, as specified by Statement 123, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the weighted average assumptions used in these calculations are summarized below:

 
  Fiscal 2000
  Fiscal 1999
 
Risk free interest rate   6.0 % 6.3 %
Expected life of options granted   5-10 years   5 years  
Expected volatility range   20.4 % 64.2 %
Expected dividend yield   0 % 0 %

    Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options been determined based on fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123

F-13


"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company's net income (loss) would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Net income (loss):              
  As reported   $ 904,670   $ (947,692 )
  Pro forma   $ 817,984   $ (981,080 )
Net earnings (loss) per share (diluted):              
  As reported   $ 0.65   $ (2.07 )
  Pro forma   $ 0.59   $ (2.15 )

    The resulting pro forma information may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.

(12)  INCOME TAXES

    The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", under which deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted rates and laws. These temporary differences include depreciation and related party accruals.

    The Company has generated net operating losses of approximately $1,200,000 which, if not used, will begin to expire in 2018. The Company also has a capital loss carryforward of approximately $68,000 available to offset future capital gains which expires in 2002 and research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $13,000 which, if not used, will begin to expire in 2013. Future changes in the ownership of the Company may place limitations on the use of these carryforwards.

    The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the related benefits as follows at September 30:

 
  2000
  1999
 
Deferred tax assets:              
  Accrued liabilities   $ 26,000   $ 85,000  
  Allowance for doubtful accounts     12,000     13,000  
  Inventory valuation adjustments     65,000     55,000  
  Net operating loss carryforward     425,000     854,000  
  Capital loss carryforward     14,000     14,000  
   
 
 
      542,000     1,021,000  
  Valuation allowance     (522,000 )   (927,000 )
   
 
 
    $ 20,000   $ 94,000  
       
 
 
Deferred tax liabilities:              
  Depreciation     (20,000 )   (94,000 )
   
 
 
    Total   $ 0   $ 0  
       
 
 

F-14


    Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the years ended September 30 is as follows:

 
  2000

(13)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    Significant stockholder and former officer—The Company entered into several agreements with a significant stockholder, former chief executive officer and director, Larry Rasmusson (former officer) of the Company as noted:

    In September 1998, the Company entered into a Mutual Release and Noncompetition Agreement ("Release") with the former officer. The Release included a consulting agreement requiring the Company to pay the former officer $485,000 in twenty-four equal monthly installments of $20,208, beginning in September 1998 and a noncompetition agreement requiring payment of $150,000 in twenty-four equal monthly installments of $6,250, beginning in September 1998. The noncompete expense was $62,500 and $75,000 for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The obligations under the consulting agreement and noncompetition agreement were paid in full as of September 30, 2000. The payments under the consulting and noncompetition agreements were secured by a second mortgage on the Company's land and building.
