NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related information presented in these notes have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, without audit. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Angeion Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
Comprehensive income is a measure of all non-owner changes in shareholders' equity and includes such items as net income, certain foreign currency translation items, minimum pension liability adjustments and changes in the value of available-for-sale securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, comprehensive income (loss) for Angeion Corporation was equivalent to net income (loss) as reported.
2. Reclassifications
Certain amounts in Angeion's Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported.
3. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per share assuming dilution reflects the potential dilution to basic net income per share that could occur upon conversion or exercise of securities, options, or other such items, to common shares using the if-converted and treasury stock methods based upon the weighted-average fair value of the Company's common shares during the period.
4. Bank Line of Credit
The Company allowed the line of credit agreement between its subsidiary, Medical Graphics, and a bank to expire according to its terms as of March 31, 2000.
5. New Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (as amended by SFAS No. 137 with respect to the effective date and SFAS No. 138 with respect to certain hedging activities) will be effective for the Company in January, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value on a mark-to-market basis. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 133, but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.
5
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 which provides the staff's views in applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to selected revenue recognition issues. As amended, SAB No. 101 is now effective no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company will be required to adopt the guidance of this bulletin no later than the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company is assessing its impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Various forward-looking statements have been made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may also be made in other Angeion Corporation reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in its press releases and in other documents. In addition, from time to time, the Company through its management may make oral forward-looking statements.
Overview
During March 2000, Angeion Corporation announced the discontinuance of its historical business, the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of implantable cardioverter defibrillators ("ICD"). Accordingly, the Company decided to pursue the license or transfer of its ICD technology and to discontinue the ICD product line. The last sales of these products were made during the second quarter of 2000. Consequently, the ICD business is accounted for as a discontinued operation and amounts in the financial statements for all periods shown have been restated to reflect discontinued operations accounting. Moreover, the Company is now focusing its current efforts on the markets served by and business operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medical Graphics, and the acquisition and development of future businesses that contribute to shareholder value.
Results of Operations
Angeion Corporation recorded a net loss of $1,891,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to net income of $22,903,000 for 1999. These amounts included losses from continuing operations of $1,925,000 and $398,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Income from discontinued operations was $34,000 for 2000 compared to $23,301,000 for 1999. Income from discontinued operations is primarily due to the non-exclusive licensing of patent rights and sale of certain assets offset with discontinued operating expenses in both years while 1999 also includes proceeds from settlement of a lawsuit.
The Company recorded net income of $7,993,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $14,487,000 for 1999. These amounts included losses from continuing operations of $3,070,000 and $1,193,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Income from discontinued operations was $11,063,000 for 2000 compared to $15,680,000 for 1999. Income from discontinued operations is primarily due to the non-exclusive licensing of patent rights and sale of certain assets offset with discontinued operating expenses in both years while 1999 also includes proceeds from settlement of a lawsuit.
The decision to discontinue the ICD product line represented a significant change for Angeion Corporation. As a result of the December 21, 1999 merger, Medical Graphics now comprises a majority of the total assets of the Company and generates a majority of its sales. The Company is focusing its current efforts primarily on the markets served by and business operations of Medical Graphics. Given that decision and Angeion's current focus, the following discussion is directed at the Company's subsidiary, Medical Graphics Corporation. Since the accompanying consolidated statements of operations present 1999 activities of the ICD business under discontinued operations accounting rules and do not reflect operations of Medical Graphics prior to the merger date, we have prepared the following table to include Medical Graphics as if it had been acquired on January 1, 1999. Moreover, 1999 includes $150,000 and $300,000 of recurring Angeion general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended
7
June 30, 1999, respectively. The following table summarizes selected financial data, as adjusted, relating to ongoing operations of Angeion Corporation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

Revenues
Revenues consist of product sales and service revenues. Product sales reflect sales of Medical Graphic's cardiopulmonary diagnostic and monitoring systems, software and aftermarket sales of peripherals and supplies. Service revenues reflect contract revenues from extended warranties, non-warranty service visits and training.
Second quarter total revenue decreased 30.4% to $3,860,000 in 2000 compared to $5,548,000 in 1999. This overall decrease was driven by domestic product revenue which decreased by 44.2% to $2,516,000 in 2000 compared to $4,511,000 in 1999. International revenue increased by 40.4% to $823,000 in 2000 from $586,000 in 1999. Service revenue increased by 15.5% to $521,000 in 2000 from $451,000 in 1999.
For the six months ended June 30, total revenue decreased 16.0% to $8,766,000 in 2000 from $10,431,000 in 1999. Driving this decrease is domestic product revenue which decreased 31.0% to $5,669,000 in 2000 from $8,220,000 in 1999. International revenue increased 49.4% to $1,880,000 in 2000 from $1,258,000 in 1999. Service revenue increased by 27.7% to $1,217,000 in 2000 from $953,000 in 1999.
Both the quarter and the year-to-date revenue have been influenced by similar business factors. The domestic decreases are due to lower software upgrade sales associated with year 2000 compliance as well as decreases in customers' total capital budgets following months of heavy year 2000 compliance spending. International increases reflect additional Company focus on returning international revenue to its historical levels. Service revenue increases reflect a strengthened service department which allows the Company to service more customers directly and rely less on use of third party service organizations.
Gross Margin
Gross margin percentage decreased to 27.0% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 46.2% in the same 1999 three month period. For the six months ended June 30, gross margin percentage decreased to 33.3% in 2000 from 44.3% in 1999. The margin decrease for both periods reflects several factors. The Company reduced the value of inventory by $332,000 in conjunction with its announced decision to discontinue distribution of sleep disorder diagnostic products. In addition, lower sales of higher margin software upgrade products associated with year 2000 compliance contributed to lower gross margins.
8
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses decreased 9.9% to $1,205,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $1,337,000 in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, selling and marketing expenses decreased 5.1% to $2,364,000 in 2000 from $2,490,000 in 1999. Both periods include lower commissions and selling expenses associated with equipment demonstrations and travel that are attributed to lower domestic revenue. These decreases are partially offset by additional costs in support of our focus on international revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased by 12.6% to $651,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $745,000 in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, general and administrative expenses decreased by 0.4% to $1,356,000 in 2000 from $1,361,000 in 1999. On a year-to-date basis, general and administrative expenses include higher legal expenses associated with on-going litigation and temporary additional expenses related to the integration of Medical Graphics, offset by lower directors' fees.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased by 18.2% to $442,000 in the second quarter of 2000 from $374,000 in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, research and development expenses increased 2.8% to $818,000 in 2000 from $796,000 in 1999. The quarter and six month periods both reflect continued use of in-house software engineers rather than independent software contractors as part of our transition of product software to a Windows 98/NT platform. The quarter and year-to-date expenses for 2000 include increments of $75,000 and $93,000, respectively, for research and development expenses associated with the March 16, 2000 acquisition of AeroSport, Inc. products. Additionally, the 1999 costs associated with re-engineering the Medical Graphics pulmonary function testing hardware are not being incurred in 2000.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles represents the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income shown on the consolidated statement of operations decreased to $136,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $378,000 for 1999. For the six months ended June 30, interest income decreased to $216,000 in 2000 from $425,000 in 1999. The decreases for both periods reflect lower excess cash balances available for short term investment.
Interest expense shown on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30 decreased to $510,000 in 2000 compared to $626,000 in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, interest expense decreased to $1,084,000 in 2000 from $1,318,000 in 1999. Interest expense for 1999 includes the costs associated with $6,000,000 of term loans received in January 1999 and subsequently paid off in May 1999. The six month decrease would be greater except for the minimum interest charges of $45,000 incurred during the first quarter for the Medical Graphics bank line of credit that expired by its terms on March 31, 2000.
Income From Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations of $34,000 shown on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2000 includes a one-time gain of $81,000 related to the sale of certain
9
intellectual property rights and production tools for ablation catheters partially offset by $47,000 of other expenses related to discontinued operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, income from discontinued operations of $11,063,000 also includes the first quarter one-time gain of $11,696,000, net of taxes, related to the non-exclusive licensing of patent rights and sale of certain assets. The first and second quarter gains are partially offset by $593,000 of rental expenses associated with the building previously used for the ICD products and $121,000 of other expenses related to discontinued operations.
Income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 include a one-time gain of $31,107,000 related to the settlement of a lawsuit and granting of licensing rights. This gain was offset by losses sustained from Angeion's discontinued ICD business aggregating $7,806,000 and $15,427,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.
In connection with its decision to discontinue the ICD products, the Company accrued rental expenses of $604,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 representing unrecoverable future rental obligations associated with the building used in conjunction with that business. The accrual represented management's estimate of the costs expected to be incurred until the building could be sublet. In May 2000 the Company was successful in subletting and negotiating the termination of all future liabilities for approximately 64% of that building space. Accordingly, the Company accrued the negotiated termination fee and updated its estimate of future rental costs which required recognition of additional rental expenses of $593,000 that were recorded during the first quarter of 2000.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Note Holder Litigation
As previously disclosed, on September 24, 1999, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee on behalf of holders of Angeion 7 1/2% Senior Convertible Notes due 2003 brought suit against the Company in Hennepin County District Court in the State of Minnesota. The lawsuit sought declaratory judgment, breach of contract and related relief, alleging that certain actions taken by Angeion in 1998 and 1999 constituted a sale of all or substantially all of Angeion's assets, and thereby constituted a Designated Event under terms of the Indenture governing the Notes. The Trustee sought to obligate Angeion to accelerate payment of the Notes and/or to impose a trust on an amount of funds for not less than $23,000,000 of the Company's assets. On October 14, 1999, the Company filed its Answer to the Trustee's complaint and also filed a counterclaim against the Trustee, claiming that the Trustee's complaint was brought in bad faith.
By order of the Court dated November 30, 1999, the Court denied the Trustee's request for a temporary injunction in this matter. By written order dated February 7, 2000, the Court ruled that the transactions of which the Trustee complained did not constitute the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Angeion, that no Designated Event had occurred, and that the Note holders were not entitled to prepayment of their notes.
The Trustee appealed both Orders to the Minnesota Court of Appeals and an oral argument was held on May 24, 2000. Under rules governing the Court of Appeals, the Court must rule within 90 days of the argument or no later than August 22, 2000.
Other Legal Matters
The Company is also subject to certain claims and lawsuits that have been filed in the ordinary course of business. It is management's opinion that the settlement of all litigation would not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
