Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007.

Revenue Recognition

Sales Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104), which superseded SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101). Sales revenue is recognized when the products are shipped or the services are completed. Advance payments received for products or services are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized when the product is shipped or services are performed. The Company reduces sales revenue for estimated customer returns and other allowances, including credits and discounts. The Company had net sales returns provisions, credits and discounts of $2,598 and $22,599 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company incurs value added tax (VAT) on sales made by Kensey Nash Europe GmbH and excludes or presents on a net basis these taxes from revenues in accordance with EITF Issue 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The Company does not record any other tax on its revenue-producing transactions.

Royalty Income

The Company generally recognizes its royalty revenue at the end of each month, when the relevant net total end-user product sales dollars are reported to the Company for the month. Royalty payments are generally received within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter.

Geographic Information

The Company’s revenues from external customers are categorized geographically below. Revenues are attributed to a country based on the location of the customer. The Company’s business is not dependent on foreign operations. No one country other than the U.S. represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenues. In addition, all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S.:

 

     Revenues for the three month
period ended September 30,

United States

   $ 17,047,803    $ 16,095,731

(Loss)/Earnings Per Share

(Loss)/Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128), which requires the Company to report both basic and diluted (loss)/earnings per share ((L)/EPS). Basic and diluted (L)/EPS are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, with common equivalent shares from options and nonvested stock awards included in the diluted computation when their effect is dilutive. Options and nonvested stock awards to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock which were outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, but were not included in the computation of diluted (L)/EPS because the options and nonvested stock awards would have been antidilutive are shown in the table below:

 

     Three months ended September 30,
     2007    2006

Number of Options and Awards

     1,567,028      459,437
             

Option and Award Price Range

   $ 25.55 -$7.625    $ 22.90 -$34.36
             

Due to the Company’s net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, all common equivalent shares would have been antidilutive. Therefore, common equivalent shares from options have been excluded from the diluted computation for that quarter.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted:

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a threshold of more-likely-than-not for recognition of tax benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides related guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. See Note 15 for additional information and discussion relating to the adoption of FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued SAB No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with earlier application encouraged for any interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, and filed after the publication of SAB 108 (September 13, 2006). The Company’s adoption as of June 30, 2007 of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

To Be Adopted:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a standard definition for fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The Company has not yet assessed the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The Company has not yet assessed the impact the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

In June of 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (EITF 07-3). The scope of this Issue is limited to nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities pursuant to an executory contractual arrangement. Nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities for materials, equipment, facilities, and purchased intangible assets that have an alternative future use (in research and development projects or otherwise) should be recognized in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 2. Refundable advance payments for future research and development activities are excluded from the scope of this Issue. This Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, the Company’s 2009 fiscal year, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Issue applies prospectively to new contracts entered into on, or after, the effective date. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 2 – Investments

Investments as of September 30, 2007 consisted primarily of high quality municipal obligations and one mutual fund. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115), the Company has classified its entire investment portfolio as available-for-sale marketable securities with secondary or resale markets, and such portfolio is reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity (see Note 10—Comprehensive Income) and realized gains and losses in other income.

The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007:

The majority of the investments listed above have maturities ranging from less than one year to approximately three years. In addition, the Company has five municipal variable-rate demand obligations that have maturities ranging from 17 to 34 years. These municipal variable-rate demand obligations are putable weekly and callable on a monthly basis.

The investment securities shown below currently have fair values less than their amortized costs and therefore contain unrealized losses. The Company has evaluated these securities and has determined that the decline in value is not related to any company or industry specific event. As of September 30, 2007, there were approximately 13 out of 23 investment securities with unrealized losses. The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. The lengths of time the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, aggregated by investment by category, as of September 30, 2007 were as follows:

Inventory

   $ 8,893,499     $ 7,392,116  
                

Adjustments to inventory are made at the individual part level for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances, to reflect inventory at the lower of cost or market. Factors influencing these adjustments include: changes in demand, rapid technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality concerns. Revisions to these adjustments would be required if any of these factors differ from the Company’s estimates.

Note 4 – Select Customer Agreements

St Jude Medial, Inc.

The License Agreements—Under two License Agreements (one each for U.S. and foreign territories), St. Jude Medical has exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and market all current and future versions of the Angio-SealTM vascular closure device (the Angio-Seal). Under the license agreement the Company receives an approximate 6% royalty on the sales price of every Angio-SealTM unit sold by St. Jude Medical.

The Component Supply Contract—Under a supply contract executed with St. Jude Medical in 2005, the Company is the exclusive supplier of 100% of the collagen sponge and at least 30% of the bioresorbable polymer anchor components for the Angio-Seal over the term of the agreement. The contract expires in December 2010. As part of the agreement, the Company received a $1.0 million origination fee upon execution, as consideration for Company’s ongoing investments in collagen research and development. As of September 30, 2007 the Company has recognized $729,994 of this $1.0 million and the remaining $270,006 is recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized over the remaining period of the contract.

Orthovita, Inc.

In fiscal 2003, the Company entered into a development, manufacturing and supply agreement with Orthovita under which the Company develops and commercializes products based on Orthovita’s proprietary Vitoss® bone graft substitute material in combination with the Company’s proprietary biomaterials (the Orthovita Agreement). Under the Orthovita Agreement, products are co-developed; the Company manufactures the products, and Orthovita markets and sells the products worldwide. Also under the Orthovita Agreement, the Company receives a royalty payment on all co-developed Vitoss Foam products based upon Orthovita’s total end-user net sales of such products.

In a separate transaction, the Company acquired proprietary rights of a third party to the Vitoss technology. This acquisition included the economic rights of the third party, which include a royalty on all products sold containing the VITOSS technology.

Note 5 – Acquired Patents and Other Intangible Assets

The costs of internally developed patents are expensed when incurred due to the long development cycle for patents and the Company’s inability to measure the recoverability of these costs when incurred. From time to time, the Company has acquired portfolios of patents that it believes are beneficial to its ongoing businesses. These acquisitions have included a portfolio of puncture closure patents in November 1997, patents acquired in the asset purchase of THM Biomedical, Inc. (THM) in 2000, certain intellectual property rights related to the Vitoss® product line from a third party inventor, intangible assets acquired as part of the purchase of certain assets of IntraLuminal Therapeutics, Inc. (ILT) and most recently, MacroPore Biosurgery, Inc. (MacroPore) (See Note 6), among other smaller purchases.

The Company amortizes the entire cost of acquired patents and intangible assets over their respective remaining periods of economic benefit, ranging from 2 to 13 years as of September 30, 2007. The gross carrying amount of such patents and intangible assets, as of September 30, 2007, was $10,291,366 with accumulated amortization of $4,357,738. Amortization expense on these patents and intangible assets was $269,776 and $250,511 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The table below details the estimated amortization expense on the Company’s acquired patents and intangible assets for the next five fiscal years.

Note 6 – Acquisitions

IntraLuminal Therapeutics, Inc. In May 2006, the Company acquired certain assets of IntraLuminal Therapeutics, Inc. (ILT), a company focused on the emerging market opportunity for the treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTO), for $8.0 million cash plus acquisition costs of $197,384.

The valuation of the purchase price allocation represents the estimated fair market value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the identifiable assets, with the excess of the cost over net assets acquired allocated to goodwill. Management is responsible for the valuation and considered a number of factors including internal and third party valuations and appraisals, when estimating fair value.

The following is a summary of the allocation:

MacroPore. In May 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of MacroPore, a leading developer of bioresorbable products targeted for spinal, craniofacial, and orthopaedic surgery applications, for approximately $3.2 million cash. The Company incurred related acquisition costs of $187,988 as of September 30, 2007.

The valuation of the purchase price allocation represents the estimated fair market value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the identifiable assets, with the excess of the cost over net assets acquired allocated to goodwill. Management is responsible for the valuation and considered a number of factors including internal and third party valuations and appraisals, when estimating fair value.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation, including net adjustments of $62,298 recognized since June 30, 2007:

 

Inventory

   $ 56,535

Machinery, furniture and equipment

     574,482

Intangible asset (Customer Relationship)

     1,650,000

Excess of cost over net assets acquired (goodwill)

     1,081,971
      
   $ 3,362,988
      

The assets acquired by the Company encompass the manufacturing of six bioresorbable product lines, which are sold exclusively to a leading orthopaedic device company for worldwide distribution. As such, the identified intangible asset (Customer Relationship) of $1,650,000 as of September 30, 2007 is being amortized over the five-year term of the manufacturing, development and supply agreement with this company.

Note 7 – Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of the identifiable net assets of THM, a company acquired in September 2000, as well as certain assets acquired from ILT, in May 2006 (See Note 6) and from MacroPore, in May 2007 (See Note 6). All of the acquisitions were accounted for under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141) and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142).

Under SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment tests, which the Company has set to occur on June 30th of each fiscal year. Annual impairment tests in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 indicated that goodwill was not impaired on the test date.

The net carrying amount of goodwill increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from the year ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $52,000, related to additional costs and allocations related to the acquisition of certain assets of MacroPore (See Note 6). This amount is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The following table indicates the Company’s total goodwill balances as of the dates presented:

Note 9 – Debt

Secured Commercial Mortgage—On May 25, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement for a Secured Commercial Mortgage (the Mortgage) with Citibank, F.S.B. The Mortgage provides the Company with the ability to take aggregate advances of up to $35 million through November 25, 2007 (the Draw Period) and is secured by the Company’s facility and land located at 735 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania 19341. On May 25, 2006, the Company took an $8 million advance under the Mortgage that bears interest at LIBOR plus a 0.82% Loan Credit Spread. The Company intends on taking the additional $27 million in proceeds on or before November 25, 2007.

Under the Mortgage, the Company is required to pay interest only on the outstanding principal amount during the Draw Period. After the Draw Period, and beginning December 25, 2007, the Company shall pay principal and interest based on a 25 year straight-line amortization schedule.

The Mortgage contains various conditions to borrowing, and affirmative, restrictive and financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the more significant covenants require the Company to maintain a Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Mortgage) to debt service equal to or greater than 1.50—to- 1.0; and an interest rate hedge of at least 50 percent of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage through an interest rate protection product reasonably acceptable to Citibank, F.S.B. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with its affirmative, restrictive and financial maintenance covenants.

Interest Rate Swap AgreementIn order to hedge its interest rate risk under the Mortgage, the Company also entered into a $35 million aggregate ten-year fixed interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) with Citibank, N.A. The Company is using the Swap as a cash flow hedge of the Company’s interest payments under the Mortgage. The Swap converts the variable LIBOR portion of the mortgage payments to a fixed rate of 6.44% (5.62% fixed interest rate plus a 0.82% Loan Credit Spread). If the critical terms of the Swap or the hedge item do not change, the Swap will be considered to be highly effective with all changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the fair value of the Swap was in an unrealized loss position of $1,378,426 ($909,761, net of tax) and $298,350 ($196,911, net of tax), respectively and was included in accumulated comprehensive (loss)/income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value of Interest Rate SwapThe Company has designated the Swap as a cash flow hedge. As such, the Company is required to record the fair value of the Swap and perform a mark-to-market adjustment at the end of each period. The fair value of the Swap is obtained from dealer quotes. This value represents the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate agreements, taking into consideration current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Cash Flow Hedge—The Swap is classified as a cash flow hedge due to the hedging of forecasted interest rate payments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, No. 138 and No. 149 and is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Table of Contents

The Company’s objective and strategy for undertaking the Swap was to hedge its exposure to variability in cash flows and interest expense associated with the future interest rate payments under the secured commercial mortgage and to reduce the Company’s interest rate risk in the event of an unfavorable interest rate environment.

The effective portion of the Swap gains or losses, due to changes in fair value, are recorded as a component of comprehensive (loss)/income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company utilizes the Hypothetical Derivative Method in determining hedge effectiveness each period. Transactions that would cause ineffectiveness and result in the Company reclassifying the ineffective portion into current earnings would include the prepayment of the Secured Commercial Mortgage and/or the Company’s election of the Prime interest rate option on any draw under the Company’s secured commercial mortgage. Interest expense under the Swap is recorded in earnings at the fixed rate set forth in the Swap.

For the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, no amounts were recognized in current earnings due to ineffectiveness or amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The amount reported as an unrealized loss on interest rate swap in the accumulated comprehensive (loss)/income account within stockholders’ equity represents the net unrealized loss on the Swap, which has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company does not anticipate any material unrealized losses to be recognized within the subsequent 12 months as the anticipated transactions occur.

Note 10 – Comprehensive (Loss)/Income

The Company accounts for comprehensive (loss)/income under the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130). Accordingly, accumulated comprehensive (loss)/income is shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, and is comprised of net unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities, foreign currency translation adjustments and interest rate swap. The net tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 of comprehensive (loss)/income were $346,276 and $28,946, respectively.

Note 11 – Stock Repurchase Program

From time to time, the Company has made repurchases of its stock, as authorized by various programs established by the Company’s Board of Directors. On September 25, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that replaced the Company’s existing program and allows the Company to repurchase up to a total of $25 million of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and has no scheduled expiration. The Company intends to finance the repurchases using its available cash, liquid investments, as well as cash generated from its ongoing operations.

The repurchase program does not require the Company to purchase any specific dollar value or number of shares. Purchases under the program will depend on market conditions and may be commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. As of September 30, 2007, $25 million remains available for stock repurchases under the most recently authorized program. There were no repurchases of stock during the three months ended September 30, 2007 or September 30, 2006.

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 was $3,707,062, including the accelerated vesting charge of $2,992,878 as described below. For the three month period ended September 30, 2006 total stock-based compensation expense was $686,299. The total income tax benefit recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for stock-based compensation costs was $1,260,401 and $233,342 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards is classified on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the same line items as salary expense with respect to award recipients, and is recorded over the awards’ relevant vesting period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards granted to the members of the Board of Directors is recorded as a component of general and administrative expense.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2007, the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Employee Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Employee Plan”) was 4,350,000, of which options to purchase a total of 1,814,672 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $18.55 were outstanding, no nonvested stock awards were outstanding, options to purchase a total of 2,177,455 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had previously been exercised/issued, and 357,873 shares remained available for new awards under the Employee Plan.

As of September 30, 2007 a total of 410,000 shares were authorized for issuance under the Non-employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”). Nonqualified options to purchase a total of 317,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $20.36 were outstanding, and options to purchase a total of 92,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock had previously been exercised under the Directors’ Plan. As a result, no shares remained available for new awards under the Directors’ Plan. Awards previously granted under the Directors’ Plan are now granted under the Employee Plan.

Accelerated Vesting of all Equity Awards

On August 30, 2007, the acquisition by Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, of more than 20 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock, constituted a “Change in Control” as defined under the Company’s Employee Plan. As a result, all outstanding unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs) and nonvested stock awards held by officers, employees, directors and others under this plan automatically became vested (and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, exercisable) in full.

As part of the accelerated vesting, 114,405 shares of unvested stock option grants became fully vested and exercisable. Of the 114,405 options, non-employee members of the Board of Directors held 37,500 shares, and employees held the remaining 76,905 shares. There were no unvested stock options held by executive officers. Compensation expense that would have been recorded over a weighted average period of 1.85 years was $938,975, or $619,724 net of related tax effects, and was recognized as an accelerated vesting charge during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

In addition, 283,690 SAR awards also became fully vested and exercisable. Of the 283,690 SARs, 179,690 were granted to employees at a stock price of $29.88 and the remaining 104,000 were granted to officers at a stock price of $31.36. As of September 30, 2007 the average fair market value of each SAR was $4.37 and the related liability of all SARs was $1,238,542. The SARs will continue to be remeasured at each reporting period until all awards are settled. As of September 30, 2007, no cash settled SARs have been exercised and as such, no share-based liabilities were paid. An accelerated vesting charge of $429,760, or $283,642 net of related tax effects, was recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

A total of 94,537 shares of nonvested stock awards became fully vested and were released at a market value of $23.97 per share, the closing price of our common stock on August 30, 2007. Non-employee members of the Board of Directors held 34,780 shares, 45,031 shares were held by officers, and employees held the remaining 14,726 shares. Compensation expense of $1,624,143, or $1,071,934 net of related tax effects, that would have been recorded over a weighted average period of 1.36 years was recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as an accelerated vesting charge.

Stock Options

Stock options have been granted to employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company, as well as non-employee outside consultants. Fair value is calculated under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized expense of $1,054,579 (including the accelerated vesting charge of $938,975 as described above) and $245,915, respectively related to stock options. As of September 30, 2007, there were no unrecognized compensation costs remaining related to unvested stock options granted under the two equity compensation plans.

No options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Options are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant and typically vest over periods of zero to three years from the grant date. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options is derived from historical exercise behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. (Please refer to the Accelerated Vesting of all Equity Awards paragraph above).

Nonvested Stock Awards

Nonvested stock awards have been granted to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors, executive officers and certain other management of the Company. Fair value is based upon the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized expense of $1,855,912 (including an accelerated vesting charge of $1,624,143 as described above) and $425,155, respectively, related to nonvested stock awards. As of September 30, 2007, there was no unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock awards granted under the Company’s Employee Plan. The following table outlines the nonvested stock awards activity for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Shares granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors prior to December of 2005 vested in three equal annual installments contingent upon the Company’s achievement of certain earnings-per-share targets, Company Common Stock price targets and continued service of the board member on each anniversary of the date of grant. Beginning with the December 2005 nonvested stock grants, all grants awarded to non-employee members of the Board of Directors were to vest solely on continuation of service and are no longer subject to performance measures; all other attributes of the grants remained the same as described above. Previously awarded nonvested stock grants remained subject to the original provisions that were in effect at the time of grant. (Please refer to the Accelerated Vesting of all Equity Awards paragraph above).

The shares granted to executive officers and other members of management were to vest in three equal annual installments based solely on continued employment with the Company. Unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment.

Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights

Cash-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) have been granted to executive officers and eligible employees of the Company. Each award, when granted, provides the participant with the right to receive payment in cash, upon exercise, for the appreciation in market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock over the award’s exercise price. The exercise price of a SAR is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized a total expense of $796,571 related to SARs including an accelerated vesting charge of $429,760. For the three month period ended September 30, 2006, $15,228 was recognized as expense related to SARs.

for valuation purposes. The expected term of cash-settled stock appreciation rights has been determined in accordance with Question 6 of SEC SAB 107 Topic 14.0.2, “Expected Term”, until such time that historical exercise behavior can be established. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the SAR is based on U.S. treasuries with constant maturities in effect at the time of grant.

Cash-settled SARs awarded in stock-based payment transactions are accounted for under SFAS 123(R), which classifies these awards as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company records these awards as a component of other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For liability awards, the fair value of the award, which determines the measurement of the liability on a balance sheet, is remeasured at each reporting period until the award is settled. Fluctuations in the fair value of the liability award are recorded as increases or decreases in compensation cost, either immediately or over the remaining service period, depending on the vested status of the award. As of September 30, 2007 the average fair market value of each SAR is $4.37 and the related liability of all SARs was $1,238,542. No cash settled SARs have been exercised as of September 30, 2007, and as such, no share-based liabilities were paid. (Please refer to the Accelerated Vesting of all Equity Awards paragraph above).

Note 13 – Retirement Plan

The Company has a voluntary 401(k) Salary Reduction Plan and Trust (the 401(k) Plan) in which all employees that are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate. The Company provides a 50% discretionary matching contribution on up to 6% of an employee’s total salaried compensation, for all employee contributions. Employer contributions to the 401(k) plan for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $121,965 and $122,082, respectively.

Note 14 – Opportunity Grant

In November 2004, the Company was awarded a $500,000 grant under the Opportunity Grant Program of the Department of Community and Economic Development of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This grant was awarded to the Company for the potential job-creating economic development opportunities created by the Company’s construction of its new facility within the state of Pennsylvania. The grant is conditioned upon the following: (1) the Company will create 238 full-time jobs within five years, beginning April 1, 2003, the date of the Company’s request for the grant, (2) the Company will invest at least $54,250,000 in total project costs, including, but not limited to, personnel, land and building construction within three years, beginning July 19, 2004, the date of the Company’s facility groundbreaking and (3) the Company will operate at its new facility for a minimum of five years from the date of occupancy, December 2005. The Company received the cash payment of $500,000 in its third quarter of fiscal 2005.

No revenue was recognized related to this grant for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Revenue related to this grant for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $20,270 and was recognized as a component of Other Income. Remaining deferred revenue from this opportunity grant is estimated at $283,784.

The Company believes that its recent decision to discontinue the embolic protection platform may impact the job creation requirement under the grant program. The Company has formally requested an extension of or exception to this requirement from the Department of Community and Economic Development of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is waiting for a final response. Unless and until the Company receives an exception or waiver, the remaining revenue will not be recognized.

Note 15 – Income Taxes

The Company accounts for taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, (SFAS 109).

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007. In connection with the adoption, the Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $352,385 and reclassified certain previously recognized deferred tax attributes as FIN 48 liabilities. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at July 1, 2007 and September 30, 2007 was $333,188 of which $272,942 would impact the Company’s tax rate, if recognized.

The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. federal and various state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or Pennsylvania income tax examination for years prior to fiscal 2004 due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation.

The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expense respectively, and accordingly, upon initial adoption at July 1, 2007 has recorded $85,771 for the payment of interest and penalties and during the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized $4,354 in potential interest associated with uncertain tax positions.

As a result of Congressional approval of an extension of the Research and Experimentation (R&E) Tax Credit, the Company recorded retroactive adjustments to its tax provision during the second quarter ended December 31, 2006. The Company continues to record research and development tax credits as a component of its current tax provision related to its ongoing performance of qualified research and development. The Company anticipates its effective tax rate for its 2008 fiscal year to be approximately 31%, including the R&E effect on the tax provision.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had a federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforward of approximately $2.0 million, and a state NOL totaling $60.0 million, which will expire by the end of its fiscal year 2028. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the state net operating losses of $60.0 million. In addition, the Company had a foreign NOL of $297,022 as of June 30, 2007, which will not expire.

Note 16 – Discontinuance of Embolic Protection Platform

On July 10, 2007, the Company announced that it had ceased all activities on its embolic protection platform (this includes the TriActiv® FX and ProGuard™ product line), including the PROGUARD clinical trial, product manufacturing, sales and marketing, and research and development activities. The strategic decision was made to reduce costs, provide for better resource allocation for both the Company’s endovascular and biomaterials businesses and allow the Company’s sales force to focus more on the Company’s thrombectomy and chronic total occlusion platforms. The Company believes that the changing embolic protection market dynamics are negative, particularly in the carotid market, and the cost to participate effectively in these markets are too high to warrant further investment. The Company believes the discontinuance of the embolic protection platform will allow the sales personnel to better focus their efforts on the thrombectomy and chronic total occlusion products and produce a higher return on invested time in each account.

The Company has recognized asset impairment and other related charges totaling approximately $5.0 million before taxes. These charges include cash charges primarily related to severance, clinical trial and other contract termination costs totaling approximately $0.4 million in aggregate. These charges also include non-cash charges totaling approximately $4.6 primarily related to abandonment of inventory and machinery and equipment. Of the approximately $5.0 million in charges, approximately $4.7 million (including $4.6 million of non-cash asset impairment charges and $0.1 million of cash charges) was recorded in the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2007, and the remainder was recognized in the first fiscal quarter of 2008. These charges have been presented within the Company’s results from continuing operations as depicted in the below table:

OVERVIEW

Kensey Nash Corporation is a medical device company known for innovative product development and unique technology in the fields of resorbable biomaterials and endovascular devices used in a wide variety of medical procedures. We provide an extensive range of products in multiple medical markets, primarily the endovascular and orthopaedic markets. Most of the products are based on our Company’s expertise in the design, development, manufacturing and processing of resorbable biomaterials. These products have primarily been commercialized through partnerships, in many cases with large medical device companies with extensive distribution capabilities. We are also commercializing a series of innovative endovascular products through our own direct sales forces in the U.S. and Germany and distributors in other countries. Our revenues consist of two components: net sales, which includes biomaterials and endovascular products, and royalty income.

Net Sales

Biomaterials Sales

As pioneers in the field of resorbable biomaterials, we have developed significant expertise in the design, development, manufacture and processing of resorbable biomaterials for medical applications. Our biomaterials products, specifically polymer and collagen based products, are components of, in most cases, finished goods sold by numerous other companies pursuant to contractual arrangements. We sell our biomaterials products to over 25 companies who in turn sell them into the end user marketplace. Our largest biomaterials customers include St. Jude Medical, to whom we supply Angio-Seal components; Arthrex, Inc., to whom we supply a broad range of sports medicine and trauma products; and Orthovita, Inc., to whom we supply products for use in repair of the spine and orthopaedic trauma injuries. We also supply biomaterials products and development expertise to other orthopaedic companies including Medtronic, Inc., Zimmer, Inc., and Biomet Sports Medicine, Inc., amongst others. In fiscal 2008, we plan to continue to expand our relationships with existing companies and to additional partners by targeting new markets, including general, pelvic and urological surgery.

The sale of Angio-Seal components to St. Jude Medical and sales of biomaterial orthopaedic products, including products with applications in sports medicine and spine, continue to be our primary source of revenue. The table below shows the trends in our Angio-Seal component and orthopaedic product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, by presenting such sales as a percentage of our total Biomaterials Sales:

We manufacture two of the key absorbable components of the Angio-Seal device for St. Jude Medical under a supply contract that expires in 2010. According to this supply contract, we manufacture 100% of their supply requirements for the collagen plug and at least 30% of their requirements for the polymer anchors. With the Angio-Seal device continuing to be the leading product in sales volume in the vascular closure device market, a market that has modest growth, we believe our net sales to St. Jude Medical should continue to mirror the market growth over the next several years. Sales to St. Jude Medical, however, are highly dependent on ordering patterns and can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. We expect component sales to St. Jude Medical to decline in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 due to these variations in St. Jude Medical’s ordering patterns. This expectation was evidenced by a 26% decrease in Angio-Seal Component sales during the three months ended September 30, 2007 over the comparable prior year period, despite current end-user sales growth rate of 2% during that same three month period.

Our net sales in the orthopaedic portion of our business are dependent on several factors, including the success of our current partners in the sports medicine and spine markets and the continued acceptance of biomaterials-based products in these two markets, as well as expanded future acceptance of such products, and our ability to offer new products or technologies and attract new partners in these markets. Due to these dependencies, or other factors, sales to our orthopaedic customers can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Endovascular Sales

Over the last several years, Kensey Nash has devoted significant resources to bringing a family of proprietary endovascular products to market in the U.S. and Europe. These products are focused in the emerging markets of thrombectomy and chronic total occlusions (“CTOs”). Our thrombectomy and aspiration products are complementary products designed to remove thrombus (blood clots) from the patient during interventional procedures. Our CTO (a complete vessel blockage common in both coronary and peripheral vessels) platform is based on a technology acquired from IntraLuminal Therapeutics, Inc. in May 2006 (See Note 6 (Acquisitions) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein), the Safe-Cross® System, which provides radio frequency energy and optical guidance to help physicians treat total occlusions of the vasculature. All of these products are targeted primarily to interventional cardiologists, but may also be used by interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons.

Products within our endovascular platform are as follows:

ThromCat™ Thrombectomy Catheter System

 

 

 

Easy to use, powerful, fully disposable, thrombectomy catheter incorporating HeliFlex Technology, an internal helix which rotates at approximately 95,000 rotations per minute to evacuate thrombus from the target vessel.

 

   

FDA clearance for synthetic graft and native fistula vessel indication. Initial market release commenced late September 2006.

 

   

CE mark approved for coronary and peripheral indications received October 2006. European launch initiated immediately thereafter.

 

   

Coronary study completed in Europe demonstrating safety and performance of the device in coronary arteries.

QuickCat™ Extraction Catheter

 

   

Simple, easy to use, aspiration catheter that removes thrombus in a syringe-based system.

Sales of Endovascular Products totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $708,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Sales of our Endovascular Products increased to 12% of Total Net Sales in the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 7% of total Net Sales in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

In July 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a management plan to cease all activities on our embolic protection platform. The embolic protection platform was designed to prevent debris from traveling downstream from the treatment site during stenting procedures. During fiscal 2007, we had allocated significant resources toward continuing the commercialization of our embolic protection platform including the TriActiv FX® System in the U.S. market and the TriActiv® ProGuard in Europe. In November 2006, we had commenced the PROGUARD trial, a pivotal clinical trial studying the efficacy of the product in the carotid anatomy. At the end of March 2007, however, sales and manufacturing of the product line were substantially halted due to a recall of an important component of the product. This event was pivotal, and caused us to more closely assess the financial resources being allocated to the product line. After a thorough review, the strategic decision was made to reduce costs and allow our Company’s sales forces to focus more on our thrombectomy and chronic total occlusion platforms. We believe that the embolic protection market dynamics were negative and that the costs for us to participate in these markets were too high to warrant further investment. We also believe this action will allow for better resource allocation for both the endovascular and biomaterials businesses. See also “Discontinuance of Embolic Protection Platform”.

Our endovascular products have limited product and brand recognition, and limited usage to date, due at least in part to their recent commercial introductions. We do not know if these products will be successful over the long term, or if they will be adopted by the physician community at rates that in turn generate enough revenue for us to sustain our investment in this business. In addition, demand for the products may not increase as quickly as we expect due to competitive and other factors.

Further, we have elected to use a direct sales model to sell our endovascular products but may not be able to successfully retain, recruit, develop and train our own sales force to sell and market the endovascular product platform. In particular, we experienced substantial turnover with our sales force during fiscal 2007, which we believe negatively impacted our net sales for our endovascular products. Prior to 2005, we had no prior experience hiring, training and developing a sales and marketing force suitable for introducing new products into the very competitive endovascular marketplace. We may consider partnering, licensing and other options for commercializing these products, but such options may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

If our endovascular products fail to gain market acceptance or we are unable to successfully commercialize them using a direct sales force or other model, our growth prospects may be diminished. Our management continues to actively monitor the performance of our endovascular product platform and to evaluate our allocation of resources to, and potential strategic and other alternatives with respect to, these operations.

Royalty Income

Our Company also derives a significant portion of our revenue and profitability from royalty income from proprietary products that the Company has developed or co-developed.

Angio-SealTM Royalty Income. Our Company was the inventor and original developer of the Angio-Seal™ Vascular Closure Device (Angio-Seal), a device that reduces recovery time and enhances patient comfort following both diagnostic and therapeutic cardiovascular catheterizations. St. Jude Medical, Inc. has the exclusive worldwide rights for the development, manufacturing and sales and marketing of the Angio-Seal, pursuant to an agreement which provides for an approximate 6% royalty payable to Kensey Nash on all end-user product sales. The Angio-Seal device is currently the leading product in sales volume in the vascular closure device market, generating over $350 million in revenue for St. Jude Medical during our fiscal 2007. We anticipate sales of the Angio-Seal device to continue a modest growth pattern, based on forecasted continued

procedure growth and St. Jude Medical’s continued expansion in international markets. Royalty income earned from St. Jude Medical was $5.0 million in our first three months of fiscal 2008, compared to $4.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2007, a 2% increase.

Vitoss® Foam and Vitoss® Royalty Income. Since 2003, we have partnered with Orthovita, Inc. to co-develop and commercialize a series of unique and proprietary bone void filler products, branded Vitoss® Foam, the first of which was launched in March 2004. We receive a royalty on Orthovita’s end-user sales of Vitoss Foam products, which are targeted for use in the orthopaedic market. In addition, in August 2004 we entered into an agreement to acquire the proprietary rights of a third party inventor of the Vitoss technology for $2.6 million (the “Assignment Agreement”). Under the Assignment Agreement, we receive an additional royalty from Orthovita on the end-user sales of all Orthovita products containing the Vitoss technology up to a total royalty to be received of $4.0 million, with $2.3 million remaining to be received as of September 30, 2007. We believe the unique technology associated with the Vitoss Foam products and the growing orthopaedic market will result in the Orthovita component of our royalty income becoming more significant over the remainder of the current fiscal year and beyond. Royalty income earned from Orthovita was $1.0 million in our first three months of fiscal 2008, compared to $791,000 for the same period of fiscal 2007, a 29% increase.

The Company has other royalty generating relationships, none of which materially contributes to revenue at this time, but are expected to provide increased revenue as the related products gain market acceptance and additional products are commercialized.

Acceleration of Stock Awards

As we publicly announced on September 26, 2007, there was a “Change in Control” as defined in the Employee Plan. As a result, all outstanding unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights and nonvested stock held by officers, employees, directors and others under this plan automatically became vested (and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, exercisable) in full. This “Change in Control” was triggered by the acquisition by Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates on August 30, 2007 of more than 20 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock, as reported by Ramius in filings with the SEC. The accelerated vesting resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $3.0 million, or $0.16 per share tax affected, during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The acceleration will remove all future equity compensation expense related to the then outstanding stock options and nonvested shares under the plan as of the date of acceleration. However, stock appreciation rights will continue to be marked to market on a quarterly basis, as required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and equity compensation expense will be incurred related to all new stock compensation awards granted after this event.

This charge represented a significant portion of our operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and therefore we have broken it out in the table above to show the amounts of the acceleration of stock awards charges included within each operating expense category of our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Discontinuance of Embolic Protection Platform

As announced on July 10, 2007, we made a strategic decision to cease all activities related to our embolic protection platform, including the PROGUARD clinical trial, product manufacturing, sales and marketing, and research and development activities. As a result of this action, we recorded certain charges in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 totaling approximately $4.7 million, or $0.25 per share tax-effected. All of the remaining charges, related to severance and clinical trial closeout costs, were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and totaled approximately $324,000, or $0.02 per share tax-effected. All charges related to the discontinuance are presented within the Company’s results of operations. We do not anticipate any further charges related to this decision.

The following table is presented to show the amounts of the discontinuance of embolic protection charges included within each operating expense category of our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2007:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our “critical accounting policies” are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies: revenue recognition, accounting for stock-based compensation, accounting for investments in debt and equity securities, inventory valuation and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104), which superseded SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101).

Sales Revenue. Sales revenue is recognized when the related product is shipped or the service is completed. Advance payments received for products or services are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized when the product is shipped or services are performed, the timing of which could be subjective. We reduce sales for estimated customer returns, discounts and other allowances, if applicable. Our products are primarily manufactured according to our customers’ specifications and are subject to return only for failure to meet those specifications.

Royalty Revenue. Royalty revenue is recognized as the related product is sold. We recognize substantially all of our royalty revenue at the end of each month, in accordance with our customer agreements. See Note 1 (Revenue Recognition) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We use various forms of equity compensation, including stock options, nonvested stock grants, and cash-settled stock appreciation rights, as a major part of our compensation programs to retain and provide incentives to our top management team members and other employees.

Table of Contents
   

Fair values of option grants are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses weighted average assumptions. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our Common Stock, and other factors. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options is derived from historical exercise behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. treasuries with constant maturities in effect at the time of grant.

 

   

Nonvested stock granted to non-employee members of our Board of Directors, executive officers and other management is accounted for using the fair value method under SFAS 123(R). Fair value for nonvested stock grants is based upon the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of the grant.

 

   

Cash-settled SARs awarded in stock-based payment transactions are accounted for under SFAS 123(R), which classifies these awards as liabilities. Accordingly, we record these awards as a component of other current liabilities on the balance sheet. For liability awards, the fair value of the award, which determines the measurement of the liability on the balance sheet, is remeasured at each reporting period until the award is settled. Fluctuations in the fair value of the liability award are recorded as increases or decreases in compensation cost, either immediately or over the remaining service period, depending on the vested status of the award. The expected term of cash-settled stock appreciation rights has been determined in accordance with Question 6 of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14.0.2, “Expected Term” (SAB 107), until such time that historical exercise behavior can be established.

Revisions to any of our estimates or methodologies could cause a material impact to our financial statements.

Accounting for Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In accordance with the SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115), we have classified our entire investment portfolio as available-for-sale marketable securities with secondary or resale markets and report the portfolio at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity and realized gains and losses in other income. We currently have investment securities with fair values that are less than their amortized cost and therefore contain unrealized losses. We have evaluated these securities and have determined that the decline in value is not related to any company or industry specific event. We anticipate full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. Revisions to our classification of these investments and/or a determination other than the anticipation of a full recovery of the amortized costs at maturity or sooner could result in us realizing gains and losses on these investments and, therefore, cause a material impact on our financial statements.

Inventory Valuation. Our inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Adjustments to inventory are made at the individual part level for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances, to reflect inventory at the lower of cost or market. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in demand, rapid technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality concerns. Revisions to these adjustments would be required if any of these factors differ from our estimates.

Income Taxes. Our estimated effective tax rate includes the impact of certain estimated research and development tax credits and non-taxable interest income. Material changes in, or differences from, our estimates could impact our estimate of our effective tax rate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Total Revenues. Total revenues increased 8% to $17.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $16.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Total Net Sales. Net sales of products increased 9% to $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to net sales of $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. We had a 3% increase in our Biomaterials Sales and a 93% increase in our Endovascular Sales.

Biomaterials Sales. Biomaterial sales were $10.2 million in the period, a 3% increase compared to $9.8 million in the same period last year. Biomaterials sales includes revenue recognized from products shipped as well as revenue generated from product development programs with biomaterials customers. The increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in orthopaedic sales compared to the same prior year period. The orthopaedic sales growth was primarily the result of approximately $800,000 in new product revenue related to our acquisition of certain assets of MacroPore, Inc. as well as increased sales to Orthovita, which increased 90% to $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $611,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, our sales of sports medicine products increased 16% to $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Offsetting these increases was a 26% decline in sales of Angio-Seal components to St. Jude Medical compared to the comparable prior year period. Sales to St. Jude Medical were $3.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $5.2 million in the same prior year quarter. Despite this decline in Angio-Seal component sales, end-user sales of the Angio-Seal by St. Jude Medical increased 2% over the same period in fiscal 2007. Collagen plug component sales decreased 24% and sales of the anchor component decreased 42% as we supplemented St. Jude’s anchor production at rates greater than the contracted 30% during fiscal 2007.

Endovascular Sales. Endovascular sales were $1.4 million in the period, a 93% increase compared to sales of $708,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Sales in the U.S. increased 39% to $852,000 from $614,000, primarily due to increased ThromCat and Safe-Cross product sales. International Endovascular sales increased 448% year over year to $512,000, from $94,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, due to introduction of the ThromCat, QuickCat and Safe-Cross devices. Included in prior year U.S. and international Endovascular sales were sales of our embolic protection products of $239,000 in the U.S. and $56,000 internationally, which we have since discontinued.

Royalty Income. Royalty income increased 6% to $6.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $5.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

St. Jude Medical Angio-Seal royalty income increased 2% to $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $4.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006. End-user sales of the Angio-Seal increased 2% in the first quarter of our fiscal 2008 over the same quarter a year earlier.

Orthovita royalty income increased 29% to $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $791,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. End-user sales of our co-developed Vitoss® Foam products increased 32% in our first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the comparable prior year quarter.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold was $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a $796,000 increase from $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Gross margin on net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 51% compared to gross margin on net sales of 54% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Costs of products sold for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included a charge of $254,000 for the acceleration of stock awards and $155,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of the embolic protection platform which resulted in a 4% decline in gross margin. The remaining change in cost of products sold was an increase of $388,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007. The gross margin was affected by start-up costs associated with the Safe-Cross product line as we initiate the manufacturing process on this new product line. As we look ahead to the rest of fiscal 2008, we believe that continuing higher volumes, process improvements and process automation will lead to further improvement of the gross margin on sales.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense was $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included a charge of $850,000 for the acceleration of stock awards and $93,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of the embolic protection platform. The remaining change in research and development expenses was a decrease of $386,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, endovascular research and development expense decreased by $782,000 offset by an increase in biomaterials research and development expense of $396,000 over the comparable prior period. The decrease in endovascular research and development expense was primarily due to a decrease in personnel, clinical trial expense, and development services and supplies related to the embolic protection platform which was discontinued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Partially offsetting these decreases in endovascular research and development expenses were additional costs related to the development of our thrombectomy and CTO platforms. The increase in biomaterials research and development expenses was due to an increase in personnel expenses as well as an increase in design and development expenses for our annulus repair, cartilage and resorbable interbody fusion projects.

Research and development expenses were 28% and 27% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Research and development expenses without the charges related to the acceleration of stock awards and the discontinuance of the embolic protection platform, were 23% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007. We believe research and development expenditures in total and as a percentage of revenue will decrease in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007. This anticipated decrease will be a direct result of the discontinuance of the embolic protection line, as well as a reduction in clinical trial expense relating to our endovascular or biomaterials product lines in fiscal 2008.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included a charge of $262,000 for the acceleration of stock awards and $71,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of the embolic protection platform. The remaining change in sales and marketing expenses was an increase of $401,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007. This increase was due to a $371,000 increase in our international sales and marketing expenses and a $31,000 increase in our U.S. sales and marketing expenses.

Internationally, sales increased 448% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. With the increase in our sales volume came an increase in personnel and travel expenses for the sales and marketing departments. These expenses increased by $257,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase related primarily to the building of our international endovascular sales team. There were nine sales and marketing personnel internationally as of September 30, 2007 compared to five sales and marketing employees as of September 30, 2006. Additionally, our international sales and marketing expense increased by $59,000 for office costs and other professional fees and a $48,000 in marketing and convention expenses, part of which related to an increase in the average exchange rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2007. The average Euro to Dollar exchange rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 1.37 versus an average exchange rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 of 1.28, an increase of approximately 8% or $51,000. In the U.S., personnel and travel expenses for the sales and marketing departments increased by $200,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the comparable prior year period. Offsetting this increase was a $153,000 decrease in marketing and convention expenses due to prior year spending related to launch activities on the ThromCat device, the QuickCat device and the TriActiv FX device (which has since been discontinued).

We anticipate sales and marketing expenses in both the U.S. and outside the U.S. will continue to increase throughout the remainder of fiscal 2008 due to the expected growth in endovascular sales.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included a charge for the acceleration of stock awards of $1.6 million and $5,000 in charges related to the discontinuance of the embolic protection platform. The remaining change in general and administrative expenses was an increase of $122,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007.

 

28


Table of Contents

This increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs of $105,000. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, there was $17,000 in costs related to a prospective acquisition no longer being pursued.

Net Interest Income. Interest income increased by 38% to $333,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $242,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was due in part to a 21% increase in our average cash and investment balance during the period ended September 30, 2007 over the comparable prior year period. Also adding to the increase were the effects of higher interest rates. Interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $103,000 compared to $137,000 during the same period of the prior year. We borrowed cash under a variable interest rate Secured Commercial Mortgage Agreement, which we hedged by the fixed interest rate Swap of 6.44%. The agreement had a balance of $8.0 million as of September 30, 2007.

Other Income/Expense. Other non-operating expense was $4,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to other non-operating income of $39,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Other non-operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 related primarily to revenue recognized from a $500,000 opportunity grant received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Governor’s Action Team (See Note 14 (Opportunity Grant) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein). We believe that our recent decision to discontinue the embolic protection platform may impact the job creation requirement under the grant program and therefore reduce the total revenue we are able to recognize related to this grant. We have satisfied all other requirements under the provisions of this grant and therefore believe that we will be entitled to all or the majority of this grant. We have formally requested an extension of, or exception to, this requirement from the Department of Community and Economic Development of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and are waiting for a final response. To date we have recognized $216,000 related to this grant. No additional revenue will be recognized related to this grant until we reach a resolution with the state.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash, cash equivalents and investments were $36.9 million as of September 30, 2007, an increase of $2.5 million from our balance of $34.3 million at June 30, 2007, the end of our prior fiscal year. In addition, our working capital was $55.9 million as of September 30, 2007, an increase of $2.8 million from our working capital of $53.2 million at June 30, 2007.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by our operating activities was $3.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had a net loss of $222,000, a net effect of non-cash employee stock-based compensation and related tax events of $3.2 million, and non-cash depreciation and amortization of $1.8 million. Non-cash employee stock-based compensation of $3.7 million includes $3.0 million related to the acceleration of stock awards in which a “Change in Control”, as defined in our equity compensation plan, occurred which resulted in all outstanding unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights and non-vested stock held by officers, employees, directors and others under this plan to automatically become vested (and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, exercisable) in full.

Cash used as a result of changes in asset and liability balances was $1.7 million. The decrease in cash related to the change in assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in inventory of $1.5 million, an increase in deferred taxes of $632,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $483,000. This decrease was partially offset by a $442,000 increase in other current liabilities, a $343,000 increase in accounts payable and a $331,000 decrease in accounts receivable. The increase in inventory primarily related to increased raw material, subassemblies and finished goods for our endovascular product lines. The increase in other current liabilities was due to the acceleration of SAR awards during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, which resulted in an overall greater total number of vested SARs then in the prior year.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. This amount was the result of net purchase and redemption activity within our investment portfolio and capital spending related to ongoing expansion of our manufacturing capabilities.

 

29


Table of Contents

During the period, investments of $3.5 million matured or were called. We subsequently purchased $6.1 million in new investments with these proceeds and cash from operations, resulting in net use of cash from investing transactions of $2.6 million.

We have a $9.4 million capital spending plan for fiscal 2008 to continue to expand our research and development and manufacturing capabilities and improving our information technology systems. Of this planned amount, we paid $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $739,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. This amount was primarily the result of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements. The exercise of stock options provided cash of $699,000 and the gross effect of awards that generated tax savings from excess tax benefits provided $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

We plan to draw $27.0 million, the remaining funds available under the $35.0 million Mortgage, on or before the date of the Draw Period which concludes on November 25, 2007. The interest rate will be 6.44% as set by the interest rate swap agreement that hedges the Mortgage. See Note 9 (Debt) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Stock Repurchase Program

On September 24, 2007, we announced that our board of directors had approved a stock repurchase program to provide us with more flexibility to purchase our own shares of Common Stock. The new program replaces our existing stock repurchase program and allows us to repurchase up to a total of $25.0 million of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and does not have a scheduled expiration. We plan to finance any repurchases using available cash, liquid investments and cash from operations. We did not repurchase any shares of our Common Stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

General

We plan to continue to increase our research and development activities for our endovascular and biomaterials products. Our sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase as we continue to invest in the building of our U.S. sales team and increased marketing efforts toward the success of the endovascular product platform.

In addition to increased cash requirements for operations, we granted cash-settled SAR awards to eligible employees during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Each award, when granted, provides the participant with the right to receive payment in cash, upon exercise, for the appreciation in market value of a share of our Common Stock over the award’s exercise price. The exercise price of a SAR is equal to the closing market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. SARs are exercisable over a maximum term of five years from the date of grant and vest over a period of three years from the grant date. The first one-third of these grants was scheduled to vest during our quarter ended September 30, 2007. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the vesting of all equity compensation awards automatically accelerated due to the “Change in Control” as defined under the Company’s equity compensation plan. See Note 12 (Stock-Based Compensation) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information concerning the accelerated vesting of all equity awards. Therefore, all granted cash-settled SAR awards are available for exercise. As of September 30, 2007, there were no cash-settled SAR awards that had been exercised by employees. We cannot predict the market value of our Common Stock at the time of exercise for these grants, nor the magnitude of exercises at any particular time over the term of these grants.

While we believe our current cash and investment balances and future cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating, financing and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, we also may draw down on the Secured Commercial Mortgage a remaining $27 million, which represents an aggregate maximum amount of $35 million. We plan to draw down the remaining balance on or before the expiration of the draw period on November 25, 2007. See Note 9 (Debt) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Although we believe our cash and investment balances will also be sufficient on a longer term basis, that will depend on numerous factors, including: market acceptance of our existing and future products; the successful commercialization of products in development; the costs associated with that commercialization; progress in our product

development efforts; the magnitude and scope of such efforts; progress with pre-clinical studies, future clinical trials and product clearance by the FDA and other agencies; the cost and timing of our efforts to expand our manufacturing, sales, and marketing capabilities; the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights; competing technological and market developments; and the development of strategic alliances for the marketing of certain of our products.

The terms of any future equity financing we undertake may be dilutive to our stockholders and the terms of any debt financing may contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to pursue certain courses of action. Our ability to obtain financing is dependent on the status of our future business prospects, as well as conditions prevailing in the relevant capital markets. No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be available to us, or will be available to us on acceptable terms, should such a need arise.

In this report, the words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to Kensey Nash, our business or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but they are not the exclusive means of identifying them.

A number of risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause our actual results, performance, financial condition, cash flows, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors, most of which have been described in greater detail in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 include but are not limited to the following:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our interest income and expense are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. In this regard, changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and investments as well as the fair value of our Swap.

Investment Portfolio

Our investment portfolio consists primarily of high quality municipal securities the majority of which have maturities ranging from less than one year to approximately three years. We also have five municipal variable-rate demand obligations that have maturities ranging from 17 to 34 years. These municipal variable-rate demand obligations are putable weekly and callable on a monthly basis. We mitigate default risk by investing in what we believe are safe and high credit quality securities and by monitoring the credit rating of investment issuers. Our portfolio includes only marketable securities with secondary or resale markets. We have an audit committee approved investment strategy, which currently limits the duration and types of our investments. These available-for-sale securities are subject to interest rate risk and decreases in market value if interest rates increase. As of September 30, 2007, our total portfolio consisted of approximately $29.9 million of investments. While our investments may be sold at any time because the portfolio includes available-for-sale marketable securities with secondary or resale markets, we generally hold securities until the earlier of their call date or their maturity. Therefore, we do not expect our results of operations or cash flows to be materially impacted due to a sudden change in interest rates. Additional information regarding our investments is located in Note 2 (Investments) to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein.

Debt

On May 25, 2006, we entered into an agreement for a Mortgage with Citibank, N.A. The Mortgage provides us with the ability to take aggregate advances of up to $35 million. In order to manage the market risk from changes in interest rates under the Mortgage we also entered into a $35 million aggregate ten-year fixed interest rate swap (“Swap”). As of September 30, 2007, we had taken an $8.0 million advance under the Mortgage. See Note 9 (Debt) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein. Our objective and strategy for entering into the Swap was to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows and interest expense associated with the future interest rate payments under the Mortgage and to reduce our interest rate risk in the event of an unfavorable interest rate environment. Therefore, we do not expect our results of operations or cash flows to be materially impacted due to a sudden change in interest rates.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time frames specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were not any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures.
