NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Unaudited Interim Results
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 1997.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in
the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Note 2. Sale of Common Stock
In February of 1996 the Company sold 860,000 shares of common stock in a private
placement at $6.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company, after selling agent
expenses and other offering expenses of $587,133 were $4,572,867. In connection
with this private placement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 86,000
common shares at $6.00 per share. These warrants were exercised during 1996.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
NET SALES. For the three months ended March 31, 1997 the Company had net sales
of $56,070 compared to $17,375 in three months ended March 31, 1996. This
increase is the result of the continuation of the Company's marketing roll-out
and expansion of its distribution system commenced in late 1996.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was
52.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 43.2% for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. The Company believes that these margins are not
necessarily representative of the margins it will realize in future periods.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT. Research and Development expenses increased 96.5% to
$319,448 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $162,568 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. This increase resulted from the addition of several
new engineering personnel and an increase in other development expenditures
related to the next generation Cardiac Output Monitor. The new monitor is
expected to be completed in the third quarter of 1997.
SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and Marketing expenses decreased 3.5% to $72,197 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $74,803 for the three months March
31, 1996. This decrease was the result of the resignation of the Company's Vice
President of Sales in mid 1996 who was not replaced. The Company expects its
sales and marketing expenses to increase in 1997 as it continues the marketing
roll-out of its Cardiac Output Monitoring System and expands its distribution
system.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and Administrative expenses increased 30.6%
to $163,593 for the three months March 31, 1997 from $125,309 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was the result of increased
personnel, including a Chief Financial Officer, and other administrative
expenses associated with a higher level of activity. General and Administrative
expenses are expected to increase in 1997 as the Company's business activity
expands.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest Income increased 83.6% to $84,176 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 from $45,856 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
primarily as a result of more funds available for investment. The additional
funds came from a private placement of common stock in February, 1996 and from
the exercise of options and warrants.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Prior to 1993 the Company funded its operation through the sale of private
placement securities and notes from certain shareholders. In July 1993 the
Company completed an initial public offering of common stock and raised
$5,137,648 in net proceeds.
In February 1996 the Company sold 860,000 shares of common stock at $6.00 per
share in a private placement. Net proceeds to the Company was $4,572,867.
Cash and short-term investments were $5,950,909 at March 31, 1997 and working
capital was $6,168,234. The Company used $352,393 of cash in its operating
activities including a net loss of $441,842.
The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments together with funds generated from operations will enable the
Company to meet its liquidity and capital needs for the next twelve months.
