SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES. 4 VASCULAR SOLUTIONS, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Vascular Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim periods. (2) COMPUTATION OF NET LOSS PER SHARE In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, (SFAS 128), basic net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding computed in accordance with the treasury stock method. For all periods presented, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, because the effect of outstanding options, warrants and convertible preferred stock is antidilutive. (3) REVENUE RECOGNITION In the United States and Germany, the Company sells its products directly to hospitals and clinics. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products to customers. In all other international markets, the Company sells its products to international distributors which subsequently resell the products to hospitals and clinics. The Company has agreements with each of its distributors which provide that title and risk of loss pass to the distributor upon shipment of the products to the distributor. The Company warrants that its products are free from manufacturing defects at the time of shipment to the distributor. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products to distributors following the receipt and acceptance of a distributor's purchase order. Allowances are provided for estimated warranty costs at the time of shipment. To date, warranty costs have been insignificant. 5 VASCULAR SOLUTIONS, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-CONTINUED (4) INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and are comprised of the following at: SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ---- ---- (unaudited) Raw materials .................... $ 1,646,437 $ 1,294,507 Work-in process .................. 197,135 305,527 Finished goods ................... 302,888 182,329 ------------ ------------ $ 2,146,460 $ 1,782,363 ============ ============ (5) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND OTHER RISKS Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company maintains its accounts for cash and cash equivalents principally at one major bank and three investment firms in the United States. The Company has a formal written investment policy that restricts the placement of investments to issuers evaluated as creditworthy. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of its cash and cash equivalents. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. Sales by geographic destination as a percentage of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were 89% and 90% in the United States, respectively, and 11% and 10% in international markets, respectively. There have been no material losses on accounts receivable. The Company operates in a single industry segment and sells its product directly to hospitals and clinics in the United States and Germany. In Germany, the Company sells its product in Euros. In all other international markets, the Company sells its product in United States dollars to distributors who, in turn, sell to medical clinics in the local currency. Loss, termination or ineffectiveness of distributors to effectively promote the Company's product would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. No single customer represented greater than 10% of the total net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. (6) RECLASSIFICATION Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW We develop, manufacture and market the Vascular Solutions Duett(TM) sealing device, the Diagnostic Duett(TM) sealing device, the D-Stat(TM) flowable hemostat and the Acolysis(R) intravascular therapeutic ultrasound system. Our Duett sealing device is designed to provide a complete seal of the puncture site following catheterization procedures such as angiography, angioplasty and stenting. The Diagnostic Duett is a version of the Duett sealing device that is tailored specifically for treating diagnostic patients. The D-Stat flowable hemostat is a thick, yet flowable blood clotting material that is used in a wide variety of interventional medical procedures for the local control of bleeding. We commenced operations in February 1997, and during 1998 and 1999 we received regulatory approvals to market our Duett sealing device in several international markets, principally in Europe. On June 22, 2000, we received approval from the FDA of our PMA application for the sale of our Duett sealing device in the United States. As a result, during the third quarter of 2000 we commenced sales of the Duett in the United States through our direct sales force. We commenced sales of the Diagnostic Duett in the United States in December 2001, and commenced sales of the D-Stat in the United States in February 2002. On April 2, 2002, we acquired the assets of the Acolysis system from the secured creditors of Angiosonics, Inc. The Acolysis controller and probes have been sold in international markets, principally in Europe and China, for over two years. During the second quarter of 2002, we commenced international sales of the Acolysis probes. We have a limited history of operations and have experienced significant operating losses since inception. As of September 30, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $44.0 million. We may never achieve profitability, or if we achieve profitability it may not be sustained in future periods. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 Net sales increased 20% to $3,040,758 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2,528,994 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net sales was attributable to the release of the next generation "Pro" line of our Duett sealing device during the quarter which resulted in an 8% increase in our Duett product compared to the year ago quarter. The addition of D-Stat and Acolysis products, both of which were introduced in 2002, also contributed to the growth. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 for the Duett, D-Stat flowable hemostat, and Acolysis were $2,756,455, $244,578, and $39,725 respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 57% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Beginning July 1, 2001, a royalty expense of 2.5% of net sales is included in our cost of goods sold related to an agreement that settled all existing intellectual property litigation with St. Jude Medical, Inc. (See "Legal Proceedings" in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q). 7 Research and development expenses decreased 23% to $817,850 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $1,061,669 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Research and development expenses consist primarily of development of next generation Duett devices as well as new interventional devices. We focused most of our attention on the Mechanical Duett and D-Stat Dry during the third quarter. The Mechanical Duett is a new concept for femoral arterial sealing, and the D-Stat Dry is a lyophilized version of the D-Stat that can be packaged pre-mixed and applied dry in combination with a custom compression band or bandage. The decrease in research and development spending is due to more focused spending and efficiencies, not any program cancellations. We expect our research and development expenses to increase slightly in the future as we continue work on product improvements and product line extensions. Clinical and regulatory expenses increased 5% to $330,865 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $314,662 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is attributable to a modest increase in the number of products and product improvements compared to the prior year. We expect clinical and regulatory expenses to increase modestly in the future as we pursue new products such as the Mechanical Duett and D-Stat Dry, perform clinical studies for additional indications for our existing D-Stat flowable hemostat, and as we incur expenses for additional marketing studies of our Duett sealing devices. General and administrative expenses decreased 16% to $520,616 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $616,176 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The three months ended September 30, 2001 included approximately $200,000 for legal expenses relating to our settlement with St. Jude Medical, Inc. (See "Legal Proceedings" in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q) compared to approximately $100,000 for legal expenses related to the patent litigation with Datascope Corp. in the three months ended September 30, 2002. We currently anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase by modest amounts for the foreseeable future as we continue to incur litigation expenses related to the existing Datascope litigation. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 14% to $2,870,147 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $3,342,840 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. As of September 30, 2002, our direct sales force consisted of approximately 53 employees, which we expect to remain relatively stable through the end of 2002. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to continue to remain relatively stable for the foreseeable future. Amortization of purchased technology was $54,375 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The amortization was the result of our acquisition of the Acolysis assets from the secured creditors of Angiosonics, Inc. We allocated $870,000 to purchased technology and are amortizing the amount over four years. Interest income decreased to $143,292 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $369,794 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 primarily as a result of lower interest rates and lower cash balances compared to the previous comparable period. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 Net sales were $9,172,707 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $9,192,179 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net sales of the Duett sealing device decreased by approximately $300,000 due to a revised focus on clinical sales of our Duett devices beginning in the last part of 2001, which was offset by sales of the D-Stat flowable hemostat and Acolysis. Beginning in mid-2001, our U.S. distribution strategy for the Duett has focused on serving our existing accounts to provide better account retention and use per account. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 for the Duett, D-Stat flowable hemostat and Acolysis were $8,612,704, $515,409, and 44,594 respectively. 8 Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Beginning July 1, 2001, a royalty expense of 2.5% of net sales is included in our cost of goods sold related to an agreement that settled all existing intellectual property litigation with St. Jude Medical, Inc. (See "Legal Proceedings" in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q). Research and development expenses decreased 15% to $2,571,214 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $3,019,431 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Research and development expenses consist primarily of development of next generation Duett devices as well as new interventional devices. As stated above, the decrease in spending is due to more focused spending and efficiencies, not any program cancellations. We expect our research and development expenses to increase slightly in the future as we continue work on product improvements and product line extensions. Clinical and regulatory expenses increased 7% to $1,025,440 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $961,358 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. As stated above, the increase is attributable to a modest increase in the number of products and product improvements. General and administrative expenses decreased 27% to $1,606,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $2,193,490 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The nine months ended September 30, 2001 included a one-time charge of $350,000 incurred in connection with the settlement of our patent litigation with St. Jude Medical, Inc. (See "Legal Proceedings" in Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q). The remaining decrease is the result of lower personnel costs from the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses had no change at $9,458,240 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $9,471,270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to continue to remain relatively stable for the foreseeable future. Amortization of purchased technology was $90,625 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The amortization was the result of our acquisition of the Acolysis assets from the secured creditors of Angiosonics, Inc. We allocated $870,000 of the purchase price to purchased technology and are amortizing the amount over four years. Interest income decreased to $408,629 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $1,451,487 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 primarily as a result of lower interest rates and lower cash balances compared to the previous comparable period. INCOME TAXES We have not generated any pre-tax income to date and therefore have not paid any federal income taxes since inception in December 1996. No provision or benefit for federal and state income taxes has been recorded for net operating losses incurred in any period since our inception. As of September 30, 2002, we had approximately $41.0 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income which begin to expire in the year 2014. As of September 30, 2002, we also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.5 million which begin to expire in the year 2014. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be 9 impaired or limited in certain circumstances, including significant changes in ownership interests. Future use of our existing net operating loss carryforwards may be restricted due to changes in ownership or from future tax legislation. We have established a valuation allowance against the entire amount of our deferred tax asset because we have not been able to conclude that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize the deferred tax asset, due primarily to our history of operating losses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have financed all of our operations since inception through the issuance of equity securities. Through September 30, 2002, we had sold common stock and preferred stock generating aggregate net proceeds of $70.2 million. At September 30, 2002, we had $23.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on-hand. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, we used $2 million of cash and cash equivalents in operating activities primarily to fund our net loss for the period of $2.6 million. We also used $212,552 to repurchase 229,800 shares under our stock repurchase program. In August, the Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program to acquire up to 1 million shares in open market transactions. The program does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. Our capital expenses to acquire manufacturing and office equipment totaled $45,370 during the three months ended September 30, 2002. We do not have any significant cash commitments related to supply agreements, nor do we have any commitments for capital expenditures. We currently anticipate that we will continue to experience a negative cash flow and our expenses will be a material use of our cash resources. We anticipate that our operating losses will continue through at least December 31, 2003. We believe that current cash balances along with cash generated from the future sales of products will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for the remainder of 2002, all of 2003 and all of 2004. Our liquidity and capital requirements beyond 2004 will depend on numerous factors, including the extent to which our products gain market acceptance and competitive developments. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our cash needs, we may be required to raise additional funds. We currently have no commitments for additional funding and so our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs is uncertain. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our shareholders may experience significant dilution. Furthermore, additional financing may not be available when needed or, if available, financing may not be on terms favorable to us or our shareholders. If financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop or market our products or take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business, so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the statement. Vascular Solutions, Inc. desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions with respect to any forward-looking statements it may make in this filing, other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any public oral statements or written releases. The words or phrases "will likely," "is 10 expected," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "projected," "forecast," or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. In accordance with the Act, the Company identifies the following important general factors which if altered from the current status could cause the Company's actual results to differ from those described in any forward-looking statements: risks associated with our limited operating history, defense of patent infringement lawsuits, adoption of our new sealing methodology, reliance on a sole product, lack of profitability, lack of experience with a direct sales force, exposure to possible product liability claims, the development of new products by others, dependence on third party distributors in international markets, doing business in international markets, limited manufacturing experience, the availability of third party reimbursement, actions by the FDA related to the Duett sealing device, the loss of key vendors and those factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. This list is not exhaustive, and the Company may supplement this list in any future filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in connection with the making of any specific forward-looking statement. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. We maintain our accounts for cash and cash equivalents principally at one major bank and three investment firms in the United States. We have a formal written investment policy that restricts the placement of investments to issuers evaluated as creditworthy. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of our cash and cash equivalents. With respect to accounts receivable, we perform credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral. There have been no material losses on accounts receivables. In the United States and Germany, we sell our products directly to hospitals and clinics in the local currency. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products to customers. In all other international markets, we sell our products to independent distributors who, in turn, sell to medical clinics. We sell our product in these countries through independent distributors denominated in United States dollars. Loss, termination or ineffectiveness of distributors to effectively promote our product would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to us (or our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. (b) Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes made in our internal controls during the period covered by this report or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On July 23, 1999, we were named as the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Datascope Corp. in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. The complaint requested a judgment that our Duett sealing device infringes and, following FDA approval will infringe, a United States patent held by Datascope and asks for relief in the form of an injunction that would prevent us from selling our product in the United States as well as an award of attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements. On August 12, 1999, we filed our answer to this lawsuit and brought a counterclaim alleging unfair competition and tortious interference. On August 20, 1999, we moved for summary 11 judgement to dismiss Datascope's claims. On March 15, 2000, the court granted summary judgment dismissing all of Datascope's claims, subject to the right of Datascope to recommence the litigation after our receipt of FDA approval of our Duett sealing device. On July 12, 2000, after our receipt of FDA approval, Datascope recommenced this litigation, alleging that the Duett sealing device infringes a United States patent held by Datascope and requesting relief in the form of an injunction that would prevent us from selling our product in the United States, damages caused by our alleged infringement, and other costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees. In 2002 both parties brought motions for summary judgment, and in August 2002 the Court denied Vascular Solutions' motion for summary judgment and granted Datascope's partial motion for summary judgment. The court's decision allows the litigation to proceed to trial on the issues of damages, if any, with the trial currently in the process of being scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2002. It is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of the Datascope litigation, including whether we will be prohibited from selling our Duett sealing device in the United States, or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. On July 3, 2000, we were named as the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by the Daig division of St. Jude Medical in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. The complaint requested a judgment that our Duett sealing device infringes a series of four patents known as the Fowler patents held by St. Jude Medical and asks for relief in the form of an injunction that would prevent us from selling our Duett sealing device in the United States, damages caused by the manufacture and sale of our product, and other costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees. On July 12, 2001, we entered into an agreement that settled all existing intellectual property litigation with St. Jude Medical. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay a royalty of 2.5% of net sales of our Duett sealing device to St. Jude Medical, up to a maximum amount over the remaining life of the St. Jude Fowler patents. In exchange, St. Jude Medical granted to us a non-exclusive license to its Fowler patents and has released us from any claim of patent infringement based on sales of our Duett sealing device. We granted a non-exclusive cross-license to our Gershony patents to St. Jude Medical, subject to a similar royalty payment if St. Jude Medical utilizes our Gershony patents in any future device. Beginning on July 1, 2001, a royalty expense of 2.5% of net sales is included in our cost of goods sold until the maximum royalty is attained. From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Other than as described above, as of the date of this report we are not a party to any legal proceeding in which an adverse outcome would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS (a) Not applicable (b) Not applicable (c) Not applicable (d) On July 25, 2000, we sold 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, at an initial public offering price of $12.00 per share, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-84089), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 19, 2000. The managing underwriters of our initial public offering were Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Stephens Inc. and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. On August 15, 2000, the 12 underwriters exercised in full their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 525,000 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share. Our net proceeds from the offering were approximately $44.0 million. To date, we have spent approximately $18.0 million of the net proceeds to hire, train and deploy a direct sales force in the United States, $3.5 million for general corporate purposes, and $1.6 million for the purchase of the Acolysis assets from Angiosonics.
