MEDSTONE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003

A.      Basis of presentation

          The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medstone International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company).  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

          In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position at June 30, 2003 and consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2003.  Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

          The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

B.      Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss:

The components of accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income are as follows:

 

 

Currency
Translation
Adjustment

 

 

 



 

Balance at December 31, 2002

 

$

(22,054

)

Foreign currency translation adjustments

 

 

16,701

 

 

 



 

Balance at June 30, 2003

 

$

(5,353

)

 

 



 

          The functional currency of the investment in foreign subsidiary is considered to be the United States dollar.

          The earnings associated with the Company’s investment in its foreign subsidiary are considered to be permanently invested and no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes on those earnings or translation adjustments has been provided.

- 7 -


          For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,  total comprehensive income/(loss) was $(7,534) and $65,602, respectively.   For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive income/(loss) was $(167,144) and $203,093, respectively.

C.      Business Segments

          The Company operates in two business segments, equipment sales and fees for procedures, maintenance and management.

D.      Per share information

          Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

          Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding dilutive securities when applying the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted per share information is not presented for periods in which the effect is antidilutive.

F.      Contingencies

          From time to time, the Company is subject to legal actions and claims for personal injuries or property damage related to patients who use its products.  The Company has obtained a liability insurance policy providing coverage for product liability and other claims.  Management does not believe that the resolution of any current proceedings will have a material financial impact on the Company or the consolidated financial statements.

G.      Stock Compensation

          The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

          In calculating pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the fair value was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the options on the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk free interest rates of 3% and 4% in 2003 and 2002, respectively; dividend yields of 0% for all periods; volatility of the expected market prices of the Company’s common stock of .324 for all periods; and expected life of the options of 5.5 years for all periods.

          For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the options’ vesting period. Had the Company’s stock option and stock purchase plan been accounted for under SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share data):

Item 2.           Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

          The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2003.

          In the ordinary course of business, the company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.  The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results.  The Company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.  Historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those determined using the necessary estimates inherent in the preparation of financial statements.  Estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, customer receivables, inventories, equity investments, fixed asset lives, contingencies and litigation.  The Company has also chosen certain accounting policies when options were available, including:

 

The average cost  method to value a majority of our inventories; and

 

The intrinsic value method, or APB Opinion No. 25, to account for our common stock incentive awards; and

 

We record an allowance for credit losses based on estimates of customers’ ability to pay.  If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.

          These accounting policies are applied consistently for all periods presented.  Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used.  Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Consolidated Operations

General

          Medstone manufactures, markets and maintains lithotripters, and utilizes its Fee-for-Service Program to supply lithotripsy equipment to providers on a per procedure basis.  The lithotripters manufactured by Medstone is approved to treat both kidney stones and gallstones.  The Company is also marketing a urology imaging and treatment table, used for various urological functions, mobile urology and pain management table to serve the mobile treatment market and various radiology room equipment, capitalizing on the relationships that the Company has with radiology equipment manufacturers. To date, the Company’s consolidated revenues have come primarily from Medstone’s

- 11 -


lithotripsy business.

          As a manufacturer of medical devices, the Company is vertically integrated by offering its medical devices directly to providers.  It currently offers lithotripsy procedures using 14 mobile systems,  one fixed site and 23 transmobile lithotripters located throughout the United States on a per procedure basis.  With the ability to offer state-of-the-art equipment at reasonable prices, Medstone continues to consider this part of its business as an integral part of its business plan.

Three Months ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

          The Company recognized total revenue of $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2002, or an 8% decrease. Revenues from procedures, maintenance and management fees decreased from $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $4.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 due to both lower average per patient charges on the Company’s fee-for-service equipment and lower third party patient count.  Also decreasing were maintenance revenues as there a number of sites that discontinued maintenance contracts as a cost cutting measure. Equipment revenues decreased slightly to $1.47 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2003 from $ 1.64 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year, or a 10% decrease.  The Company shipped two lithotripsy systems, one urology table and 35 various patient handling tables shipped in the 3 months ended June 30, 2003 compared to three lithotripsy systems, one urology system and 26 various patient handling tables shipped in the same period of 2002.

          Interest income decreased by 52% in the second quarter of 2003 when compared to the same period of the prior year due to a significant decline in investment yields and a significant decline in the average invested balance.

          Recurring revenue cost of sales increased to 64% of sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to 61% in the same quarter of the prior year.  This is due to lower revenue per patient in this segment with no significant decrease in the costs of providing service.  Cost of sales on equipment sales decreased to 70% of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 73% of sales in the same period of 2002.  This decrease is due to a slight decrease in costs and slightly higher average sales price per unit on the patient handling tables. Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue (excluding interest), increased to 65% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 64% in the second quarter of 2002.

          Research and development costs increased to $496,000 in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $314,000 in the second quarter of 2002 or an increase of 58% due to consulting expenses and material costs associated with the development of the UroPro Vista  next generation urology table and the MultiRad imaging system.  The Company expects to complete both projects by the 4th quarter of 2003.

- 12 -


          General and administrative expenses decreased by $103,000 or 12% in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the prior years’ consulting and legal expenses involved in exploring acquisitions.

          Total minority interest expense decreased to $24,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $161,000 in the same period of the prior year due to recognition of operating profits at Arcoma AB in the current quarter compared to no profit or loss in 2002.  The Company’s expense for minority distributions in the Northern Nevada and Southern Idaho operations remained almost unchanged in both periods.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

          The Company recorded total revenue of $10.3 million in the first six months of 2003 or a 16% decrease compared to $12.3 million in the corresponding period of 2002.  Revenues from procedures, maintenance and management fees decreased by $582,000, or 7%, due to lower average reimbursement per patient and lower overall patient count, which decreased by 6% in the current year.  Equipment revenue decreased by $1,346,000, or 38%, as unit shipments of lithotripsy units and urology tables decreased in 2003 when compared to 2002.  Two lithotripsy systems were shipped in the current year compared to six units in the prior year. Two urology systems were shipped in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to four units in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Offsetting some of the decrease in unit shipments is an increase in the shipment of the Company’s imaging tables, as the Company has shipped 66 various types of tables in 2003 compared to 42 units sold in the corresponding period of 2002.

          Interest income decreased by 52% for the first six months of 2003 when compared to the same period of the prior year as significantly lower interest yields were earned on lower average invested balances.

          Procedure, maintenance and management fee cost of sales increased to 59% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 58% in the same period of the prior year as revenue decreased with no appreciable change in the cost of provision of service. Cost of sales on equipment sales increased to 84% of revenue in the first six months of 2003 compared to 75% of revenue in the first six months of 2002 due to a lower number of lithotripsy units sold, which have higher profit margins compared to imaging tables.   Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue (excluding interest), increased slightly to 64% in the first six months of 2003 compared to 63% in the same period of 2002.

          Research and development costs increased by $330,000, or 57% in the first six months of 2003 when compared to the same period of 2002 as the Company has undertaken major development work for the UroPro Vista urology table and MultiRad imaging system.

          Selling costs decreased by 13%, or $203,000, in the first six months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002 due to lower commission expense on lower revenues and 2002’s services related to the gallstone marketing efforts.

- 13 -


          General and administrative expenses decreased by 7%, or $118,000, in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 due to the prior years’ consulting and legal expenses. 

          Total minority interest expense decreased to $125,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $361,000 in the same period of the prior year due to recognition of $225,000 in operating profits in the current year compared to $30,000 of operating losses in 2002 for the Company’s 25% equity interest in Arcoma AB.  The Company’s expense for minority distributions in the Northern Nevada and Southern Idaho operations increased by $19,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002.

          Provision for (benefit from) income taxes decreased to a benefit of $70,000 in the first six months of 2003 compared tax expense of  $196,000 for the same period of 2002 as a result of operating losses in the current year compared to taxable operating profits in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          At June 30, 2003, the Company had cash and short-term investments of approximately $6.1 million.  These funds were generated from continuing operating activities.

          As of June 30, 2003, the Company held 13,571 shares of CorAutus Genetics, Inc. common stock, with an approximate market value of $18,864.  The Company will continue to liquidate its holdings in this Company as markets allow.

          The Company’s long-term capital expenditure requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of the Company’s research and development programs, the time required to obtain regulatory approvals, the resources that the Company devotes to the development of self-funded products, proprietary manufacturing methods and advanced technologies, the costs of acquisitions and/or new revenue opportunities, the ability of the Company to obtain additional licensing arrangements and to manufacture products under those arrangements, and the demand for its products if and when approved and possible acquisitions of products, technologies and companies.

          The Company believes that its existing working capital and funds anticipated to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the cash needs for continuation of its present operations during 2003.
