Page 5 of 15 VIDAMED, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 1999 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of VidaMed, Inc. (the "Company" or "VidaMed") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 and the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements and related footnotes prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1998 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the entire year. 2. Net loss per share The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Statement 128 requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share, if more dilutive, for all periods presented. Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Securities that could share in the earnings of the Company, such as options, warrants and convertible securities, are excluded from the computation, as their effect is anti-dilutive. As the Company has incurred losses from operations in each of the periods presented, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share amounts. 3. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or market value. The decrease in inventory from December 31, 1998, through March 31, 1999, is due primarily to sales of finished goods inventory and the Company not undertaking to manufacture additional inventory at this time Page 6 of 15 due to a planned surplus of finished goods. Inventories at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consist of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 1999 1998 ------ ------- Raw materials $ 260 $ 404 Work in process 208 261 Finished goods 552 563 ------ ------- $1,020 $1,228 ====== ======= 4. Notes Payable During 1998, the Company finalized a commitment for $5.5 million in new debt financing with Transamerica Technology Finance, a division of Transamerica Corporation. The facility is secured by the Company's assets and consists of a revolving accounts receivable-based credit line of up to $3 million and a $2.5 million equipment term loan. The term loan was funded in full as of December 31, 1998, at an interest rate of 12% per year. Repayment of that loan is amortized over a three-year period, with the first monthly payment having been made in December 1998 and continuing monthly thereafter. As of March 31, 1999, the Company borrowed approximately $335,000 against the revolving accounts receivable-based line at a rate of 9.75% per year. It was eligible to borrow approximately $358,000 against this line on March31, 1999, and borrowed the remaining available balance of approximately $23,000 in April 1999. 5. Restructuring Accrual In September 1997, VidaMed announced a restructuring program designed to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies by closing the company's U.K. manufacturing facility. The charge in the third quarter of 1997 was $2.1 million. The elements of the total charge as of March 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands): Representing ---------------------------------------- Cash Outlays ------------------ Total Asset Charges Write-down Completed Future Fixed assets $ 390 $ 390 $ -- $ -- Facility shut down 1,305 -- 1,305 -- Grant repayment 405 -- 153 252 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Special Charges $2,100 $ 390 $1,458 $ 252 ------ ------ ------ ------ 6. Reporting Comprehensive Income (Loss) As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Statement 130). Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Statement 130 requires unrealized gains or Page 7 of 15 losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments, which prior to adoption were reported in shareholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the total comprehensive loss was not materially different from the net loss. 7. Common Stock On December 17, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 368,596 shares of its common stock to the principals of Telo Electronics, one of our manufacturers. The purchase price of the common stock was $2.713, the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days preceding December 17, 1998. The common stock was paid for with promissory notes delivered on December 17, 1998. The transaction closed in February 1999 when the promissory notes plus interest were paid. The Company received net proceeds of $1,000,000 from that transaction. Total proceeds from the issuance of common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 were $1,388,000. The balance of $388,000 was attributable to employee stock plans. 8. Retention Agreements In October 1998, the Company entered into retention agreements with certain executive officers. Under those agreements, the Company was obligated to pay up to $810,000 on April 1,1999, if those officers remained with the Company through April 1, 1999. If any of those officers left the Company prior to April 1, 1999, the amount of the obligation would decease. All officers covered by the retention agreements remained with the Company through April 1, 1999, and the Company paid $810,000 according to the terms of the agreements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is a discussion and analysis of VidaMed's consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. We also discuss certain factors that may affect our prospective financial condition and results of operations. This section should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 1 of this report and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1998, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available from the Company at no charge. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that are based on VidaMed's current expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies. The forward-looking statements concern, among other things, the availability of cash resources to fund continued operations and market acceptance of and the likelihood of additional Medicare reimbursement coverage for the TUNA Procedure. We base all forward-looking statements on information available to us on the date of this report. We do not undertake to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect events that arise after the date of this report. Actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements because of the factors described under Page 8 of 15 "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Risk Factors" in this report and in our annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1998. Overview We design, develop, and market urological systems that are used for urinary tract disorders. We primarily treat the enlarged prostate or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia ("BPH"), a noncancerous condition of the prostrate gland affecting urination. VidaMed's primary product, the patented VidaMed TUNA System, is a reasonably priced alternative therapy that minimizes surgical invasion, side effects and complications for this condition. In the United States, we sell our products primarily through direct sales personnel. Internationally, we primarily sell to distributors who resell to physicians and hospitals. At the beginning of fiscal 1999, we began restructuring our United States sales and marketing model to align with current hospital-based reimbursement coverage. Under the prior model, we focused on selling the TUNA System generator and related equipment to hospitals, physician groups and ambulatory service centers ("ASC"). Under the new sales model, an entire TUNA System is placed with a hospital at no initial capital charge, and a per use fee is charged for each procedure performed. We received FDA clearance to market the TUNA System in 1996. In 1998, Medicare reimbursement coverage became available for procedures using our equipment that are performed in hospitals. As of March 31, 1999, 30 states provided such reimbursement coverage. To achieve significant increases in sales, we must actively promote the fee-per-use program and secure Medicare reimbursement coverage at least in all states with large populations of men over 50 years of age, which is our target patient population. The Company has several initiatives underway to facilitate the Medicare reimbursement coverage process, including working in cooperation with state Medicare Medical Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will receive additional Medicare reimbursement coverage in major states in a timely manner, and the failure to receive such coverage would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Medicare coverage for supplies and devices in the office-based and ASC markets was delayed in mid-1998 due to Medicare's review of its "Year 2000" compliance. We believe that Medicare reimbursement in doctors' offices and ASCs, as well as patient awareness and physician advocacy of the TUNA System and procedure, are our greatest challenges. Our business strategy is to focus marketing and sales efforts on patient education and physician support for our fee-per-use program while at the same time continue to advance Medicare reimbursement for the TUNA Procedure, but, as discussed below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources," we will not be able to do so without additional debt or equity financing. Although initial results from our fee-per-use sales model are favorable, we do not anticipate reaching profitability in the near future. We expect our operating losses to continue as we commit substantial resources to expand marketing and sales activities, fund clinical trials in support of regulatory and reimbursement approvals, and fund research and development. Our future profitability will be dependent upon, among other factors, market acceptance of the VidaMed TUNA Procedure, availability and timing of third-party reimbursement for procedures performed with the TUNA System, adoption of our fee-per-use program and our ability to fund operations absent sufficient sales of our products. There can be no assurance that the TUNA System will continue to be deemed clinically or cost effective by health care providers and payors, superior to other current and emerging methods for treating BPH, or that the TUNA System will achieve significant market acceptance in the United States. Furthermore, Page 9 of 15 determinations of reimbursement of the TUNA Procedure by private and governmental health payors are made by such payors and their medical directors independent of the FDA approval. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the TUNA Procedure will be reimbursed at adequate levels or continue to be reimbursed at adequate levels in the United States under either private or governmental healthcare payment systems. Both lack of coverage and inadequate reimbursement for the TUNA Procedure could adversely affect market acceptance of the TUNA System. Failure of the TUNA Procedure to achieve market acceptance in the United States, lack of adequate funding, the impact of competitive products and pricing and other risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Results of Operations Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $1.0 million. This was down $0.7 million or 41% from $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in net revenue is primarily due to a $500,000 stocking order from Century Medical, Inc., our Japanese distributor, in the first quarter of 1998. United States sales of $577,000 in the first quarter of 1999 are down from sales of $698,000 in the first quarter of 1998 due to the change in the sales model described above in the Overview. Cost of product sold for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $0.8 million, a decrease of 22% or $0.3 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is due to lower product sales. Also included in cost of products sold for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were charges related to a reduction in work force, due to the announced outsourcing of the manufacturing of the Company's disposable product. Those charges were not material and did not have a material effect on liquidity. Research and development (R & D) expenses included expenditures for regulatory compliance and clinical trials. Clinical trial costs consist largely of payments to clinical investigators, product for clinical trials, and costs associated with initiating and monitoring clinical trials. R&D expenses decreased 28% to $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease was primarily reduced clinical activity in 1999. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 46% to $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $4.6 in the three months ended March 31, 1998. The expenditures in 1998 included charges to the allowance for doubtful accounts, as a result of the length of time involved in obtaining Medicare reimbursement coverage for each state, the transition to a new CEO, and a higher level of general and administrative spending. Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $42,000 compared to $91,000 for the comparable period in 1998. These changes were primarily a function of the balance of cash, cash equivalents and debt, the interest earned or incurred, respectively, and fluctuations in the relative balances. Our results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future from year to year as well as from quarter to quarter. Revenues may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including: o Actions relating to regulatory and reimbursement matters; o Results of clinical trials; Page 10 of 15 o The extent to which the TUNA System gains market acceptance; o Varying pricing promotions; o Volume discounts to customers; and o Introduction of new products and the competitive introduction of alternative therapies for BPH. Operating expenses may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including: o The timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities; o Costs of clinical activities; and o R&D and SG&A expenses associated with the potential growth of our organization. Fluctuations in operating results could have a material adverse affect on our business by, among other things, disrupting our cash flow, limiting our ability to attract investors, and impairing our ability to implement long range plans. As a result, there can be no assurance as to when or whether we will achieve profitability. If profitability is achieved, there can be no assurance such profitability will continue in the future. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 1999, the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.6 million to $7.8 million, compared to $9.4 million at December 31,1998. The decrease is due to operating expenses offset by the issuance of equity as discussed in footnote 7. In April 1999, pursuant to retention agreements with certain executives, which expired in April, the Company paid the executives the aggregate of $0.8 million as discussed in footnote 8. As we began fiscal 1999, we believed that our current cash balances, projected cash flows from operations including a U.S. procedure based sales program (the "fee-per-use program") and cash available under the Transamerica financing facility would be sufficient to meet our current operating and capital requirements through the end of the fiscal year. We now believe that the fee-per-use program will take longer to implement than originally planned. In an effort to increase revenues, we believe that it is necessary to: o Increase consumer awareness of the treatment options available to BPH patients with the view that an informed patient and his doctor are more likely to choose the TUNA procedure; o Provide opportunities for our field organization to increase the number of physicians who perform TUNA Procedures; and o Implement marketing initiatives to assist physicians build their practices by increasing the number of TUNA Procedures performed. The increased costs associated with this three-pronged approach together with lower than anticipated revenues from the fee-per-use program will require us to obtain additional financing to meet our current operating and capital requirements through the end of the fiscal year. Management is pursuing, and believes it can obtain, financing to fund operations through the end of this fiscal year and into fiscal year 2000. Additional financing will likely be required in order to fund operations throughout fiscal 2000. We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in securing any debt or equity financing, or that such financing, if available, will be on favorable terms. Any future equity financing would result in dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to secure additional financing this year, we would not be able to Page 11 of 15 continue as a going concern. We would be forced to explore strategic relationships, reduce staff and discontinue clinical trials, research and development and marketing and sales activities. During 1998, we finalized a commitment for $5.5 million in new debt financing with Transamerica Technology Finance, a division of Transamerica Corporation. The facility is secured by our assets and consists of a revolving accounts receivable-based credit line of up to $3 million and a $2.5 million equipment term loan. The term loan was funded in full as of December 31, 1998, at an interest rate of 12% per year. Repayment of that loan is amortized over a three-year period, with the first monthly payment having been made in December 1998 and continuing monthly thereafter. As of March 31, 1999, we borrowed approximately $335,000 against the revolving accounts receivable-based line at a rate of 9.75% per year. We were eligible to borrow approximately $358,000 against this line on March 31, 1999, and borrowed the remaining available balance of approximately $23,000 in April 1999. Restructuring Accrual In September 1997, VidaMed announced a restructuring program designed to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies by closing the Company's U.K. manufacturing facility. The Company expects to incur approximately $252,000 in cash outlays during 1999. See also Note 5 of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. Impact of Year 2000 Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept, store, or report only two digit year entries in date code fields. Beginning in the Year 2000 (Y2K), these date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. The Y2K issue is a result of these programs being written with two digits instead of four. As a result, computer systems and software used by companies, including us and our vendors and customers, will need to comply with the Y2K requirements. We presently believe that as a byproduct of normal business system modifications and upgrades and the short length of time we have been in operation, the Y2K issue should not have a material effect on our current financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, this does not completely prevent the possibility of problems arising related to the Y2K issue that could have a material impact on our operations. We have been proactive in addressing the Y2K issue internally and externally. Our primary software system is currently Y2K compliant. We do not depend on in-house custom systems and generally purchase off-the-shelf software from reputable vendors who have tested their software for Y2K compliance. The Y2K issue is being considered for all future software purchases. Although we believe the Y2K issue will not pose material operational problems for our computer systems, there can be no assurance that problems arising from the Y2K issue will be completely eliminated. We have initiated communication with our significant suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which our operations are vulnerable to a failure of any of those third parties to remediate their own Y2K issues. The Company determined that Medicare coverage for supplies and devices in the office-based and ASC markets was delayed in mid-1998 due to Medicare announced Y2K problems. The ASC reimbursement program, which was expected to be effective January 1, 1999 is not likely to be effective before June 30, 2000. As a result of the Medicare coverage delays, the Company established a $2.7 million reserve in the third quarter of 1998 for all office-based and ASC sales. Other than issues related to Page 12 of 15 Medicare, none of our significant suppliers or large customers has notified us that they have significant Y2K problems. Even where assurances are received from third parties, however, there remains a risk that failure of systems and products of other companies on which we rely could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our products are Y2K compliant and are able to operate in the Year 2000 and beyond. There are two processors used in the TUNA System generator. One processor does not have date sensitivity while the other does. We have tested the date sensitive processor and have concluded that it has no significant Y2K problems. We believe we have an effective program in place to resolve Y2K issues in a timely manner. We also have contingency plans for certain critical applications and are working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve, among other actions: o Manual workarounds (e.g. manual preparation of invoices, paychecks) o Adjusting staffing strategies. In the event that we do not completely resolve all of the Y2K issues, our business operations could be adversely affected. Although the resulting costs and loss of business cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we have not and do not expect to have material costs associated with the Y2K issues. The most reasonably likely worst case scenario relates to our ability to use our computerized manufacturing and accounting system. Although the software product is Y2K compliant, other unforeseen factors could render it inoperative, such as the inability of public utilities to provide service. This occurrence could materially adversely effect our business. We could also be required to manually prepare documents, such as shipping documents, invoices and checks and the like. Such tasks would be more time consuming and would likely require additional human resources to complete. Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to interest rate risk on the investments of our excess cash. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximize yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest in highly liquid and high quality debt securities. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we invest in short-term securities with maturities of less than one year.
