ANGEION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

 

 

1.

Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

          Angeion Corporation (the “Company”), through its Medical Graphics Corporation subsidiary, designs and markets non-invasive cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems that are sold under the MedGraphics and New Leaf brand and trade names. These cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems have a wide range of applications in healthcare, wellness, and health and fitness.

          The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2009, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related information presented in these notes have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, without audit. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included. The consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2008 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Operating results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Angeion Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2008.

          Comprehensive loss is a measure of all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity and includes items such as net loss, certain foreign currency translation items, minimum pension liability adjustments and changes in the value of available-for-sale securities. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, comprehensive loss for Angeion Corporation was equivalent to net loss as reported.

          Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities made in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates include accounts receivable, product warranty and inventory reserves, and depreciable lives of property, equipment and intangible assets.

 

 

2.

Revenue Recognition

          In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s products are sold for cash or on unsecured credit terms requiring payment based on the shipment date. Credit terms can vary between customers due to many factors, but are generally 30-60 days. Revenue, net of discounts, is recognized upon shipment or delivery to customers in accordance with written sales terms. Standard sales terms do not include customer acceptance conditions, future credits, rebates, price protection or general rights of return. The terms of sales to both domestic customers and international distributors are identical. In instances when a customer order specifies final acceptance of the system, revenue is deferred until all customer acceptance criteria have been met. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded upon shipment.

6


Table of Contents

          Service contract revenue is based on a stated contractual rate and is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period, which is typically from one to four years. In accordance with paragraph 4 of the Emerging Issues Task Force abstract 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” the Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical Bulletin No. 90-1 to service contract revenue. Deferred income associated with service contracts and supplies was $2,044,000 and $2,005,000 at April 30, 2009 and October 31, 2008, respectively. Revenue from installation and training services provided to customers is deferred until the service has been performed. The amount of deferred installation and training revenue was $129,000 and $223,000 at April 30, 2009 and October 31, 2008, respectively.

          When a sale involves multiple deliverables, such as equipment, installation services and training, the amount of the consideration from an arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on the residual method and recognized as revenue when revenue recognition criteria for each element is met. Consideration allocated to delivered equipment is equal to the total arrangement consideration less the fair value of installation and training. The fair value of installation and training services is based on specific objective evidence, including third-party invoices.

          No customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues for either the three or six months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.

          Advance Payments from Customers

          The Company typically does not receive advance payments from its customers in connection with the sale of its products. The Company occasionally enters into an arrangement under which a customer agrees to purchase a large quantity of product that is to be delivered over a period of time. Depending on the size of these arrangements, the Company may negotiate an advance payment from these customers. Advance payments from customers aggregating $39,000 and $92,000 as of April 30, 2009 and October 31, 2008, respectively, are included in deferred income on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognition for customer orders that include advance payments is consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy described above.

 

 

3.

New Accounting Pronouncement

          During May 2009, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Standards No. 165 (“SFAS No. 165”), Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 requires all public entities to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are available to be issued and disclose in the notes the date through which the Company has evaluated subsequent events and whether the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued on the disclosed date. SFAS No. 165 defines two types of subsequent events, as follows: the first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and the second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. 

 

 

4.

Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Options

          Effective November 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes the compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Total stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s statement of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009 was $183,000 and $365,000, respectively, compared to $106,000 and $217,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2008, respectively.

          The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended April 30, 2009 was $15,000. The total intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at April 30, 2009 was $2,600, which was calculated using the closing stock price as of April 30, 2009 less the exercise price of in-the-money options. The Company issues new shares when stock options are exercised. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $63,000 for the six month period ended April 30, 2009. Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options as of April 30, 2009 was $939,000, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.74 years, and will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated forfeitures.

          Restricted Stock Awards

          On August 28, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 74,667 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. Restricted stock awards are awards of common stock that are subject to restrictions on transfer and to a risk of forfeiture if the awardee leaves the Company before the restrictions lapse. The holder of a restricted stock award is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted shares to exercise the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares. The value of such stock was established by the market price on the date of grant which was $5.16 per share. The restricted stock awards will vest over a three-year period and are included in common stock issued as of the grant date. The Company did not grant any restricted stock awards during the three and six months ended April 30, 2009.

          Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock awards as of April 30, 2009 was $299,000. The Company expects to recognize this over a weighted average period of 2.36 years.

          The following table presents the statement of operations classification of pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009:

          Valuation Assumptions

          The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) to determine the fair value of stock options as of the grant date. The fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes model requires management to make assumptions regarding projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates, volatility of the Company’s stock price and expected dividends.

          The intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets that range from seven to ten years. Amortization expense was $364,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008. If the Company continues to utilize pre-emergence bankruptcy net operating loss carry forwards, the Company will further reduce the carrying cost of its developed technology until the net carrying cost of these assets is zero. To the extent that utilization of these NOLs reduces the cost of developed technology, future amortization expense will be reduced.

          Estimated amortization expense for each of the succeeding fiscal years based on the intangible assets as of April 30, 2009, which does not reflect the possible reduction due to the use of NOLs discussed above, is as follows:

Warranty Reserve

          Sales of the Company’s equipment are subject to a warranty obligation. Equipment warranties typically extend for a period of twelve months from the date of installation. Standard warranty terms are included in customer contracts. Under the terms of these warranties, the Company is obligated to repair or replace any components or assemblies that it deems defective in workmanship or materials. The Company reserves the right to reject warranty claims where it determines that failure is due to normal wear, customer modifications, improper maintenance or misuse. The Company maintains a warranty reserve that reflects the estimated expenses that it will incur to honor the warranties on its products. The Company adjusts the warranty reserve based on the number and type of equipment that is subject to warranty, adjusted for the remaining months of warranty coverage. The warranty reserve adjustment reflects the Company’s historical warranty experience based on type of equipment. Warranty provisions and claims for the six months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Net Loss per Share

          Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that in computing income per share the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options or warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options or warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from the exercise were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

          The Company had options outstanding at April 30, 2009 and 2008 to purchase 705,953 and 598,620 shares, respectively, of its common stock. As a result of the net loss in the first and second quarters of both 2009 and 2008, the outstanding stock options were considered antidilutive and, therefore, were excluded from diluted loss per share.

 

 

9.

Income Taxes

          The Company has recorded a provision for taxes from operations of $6,000 and $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the six-month periods ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, the provision for taxes from operations was $13,000 and $27,000, respectively. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will report a year-to-date loss. Therefore, no tax benefit was recorded. This assessment was made in a manner consistent with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The amount of income taxes payable, if any, is determined after utilizing the Company’s NOLs, including its pre-emergence bankruptcy NOLs. Under American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (“SOP 90-7”), the tax benefit for the utilization of these pre-emergence bankruptcy NOL carry forwards must be recognized as a reduction of intangibles rather than a reduction of the provision for taxes in the statement of operations.

          The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) on November 1, 2007. There was no additional reserve for uncertain tax positions recognized as a result of adoption of FIN 48. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2009, the Company recognized no income tax expense related to the reserves for uncertain tax positions. The total reserve as of both October 31, 2008 and April 30, 2009 was $35,200. The entire amount of the reserve related to uncertainties regarding income tax nexus with various states in which the Company operates. Included in the reserve is $10,000 of estimated interest and penalties. The total amount of the reserve has increased the Company’s effective tax rate, and would therefore decrease the effective tax rate if removed.

11


Table of Contents

          Estimated interest and penalties related to potential underpayment of income taxes are classified as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not expect the amount of reserves for uncertain tax positions to change significantly in the next twelve months. Similarly, the Company does not anticipate that the total reserve for uncertain tax positions will significantly change due to the settlement of audits and the expiration of statutes of limitations within the next twelve months.

          The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States Federal jurisdiction and files various combined and separate tax returns in several state and local jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ending prior to November 1, 2004. There is no statute of limitations for assessments related to jurisdictions where the Company may have nexus but has chosen not to file an income tax return.

          The Company had a federal net operating loss carry forward at October 31, 2008 of approximately $20.3 million. This amount is the remaining utilizable carry forward following the application of a limit due to an ownership change under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. This carry forward is available to offset a portion of taxes payable in future years. If not used, this carry forward will expire in the years 2009 through 2025. Approximately $7.0 million of this carry forward will expire, if unused, during the next five years ending October 31, 2013. The Company also has $109,000 of alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards that do not have expiration dates. Even though the Company has substantial federal net operating loss carry forwards, any income may still be subject to U.S. and State alternative minimum taxes.

          The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset based on its belief that it was more likely than not that the asset would not be realized in the future. Although this determination was made in a prior fiscal year, it is still applicable as of April 30, 2009, and the Company will continue to assess the need for a full valuation allowance in future quarters. Under SOP 90-7, a substantial portion of any future reversal of the valuation allowance will first reduce any intangible assets and then be credited directly to additional paid-in capital. After the exhaustion of pre-emergence bankruptcy NOLs, approximately $2.3 million of the valuation allowance is related to post-bankruptcy NOLs and would be available to reduce the provision for taxes in the statement of operations and, thereafter, $778,000 related to excess stock option tax deductions would be recognized as additional paid-in capital if realized in the Company’s income tax return.

 

 

10.

Litigation

          The Company is also subject to certain claims and lawsuits that have been filed in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, the Company initiates lawsuits against others to enforce patents or to seek collection of debts in the ordinary course of business. It is management’s opinion that the settlement of all litigation arising in the ordinary course of business would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Severance Costs

          On April 30, 2008, the Company implemented a Reduction-In-Force (RIF) that terminated the employment of nine employees to allow better management of operating expenses. In the second quarter 2008, the Company also terminated a relationship with a foreign distributor. As a result of these actions, the Company accrued a total of $172,000 in severance costs for the quarter ended April 30, 2008 which consisted of $169,000 of cash severance and $3,000 of medical benefits. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, total severance costs of $366,000 were incurred.

          The Company accrued and paid $6,000 in severance costs in the first half of 2009.

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

Overview

          The Company, through its Medical Graphics Corporation subsidiary, designs and markets non-invasive cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems that are sold under the MedGraphics and New Leaf brand and trade names. These cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems have a wide range of applications in healthcare, wellness and health and fitness. Revenues consist of equipment and supply sales as well as service revenues. Equipment and supply sales reflect sales of non-invasive cardiorespiratory diagnostic equipment and aftermarket sales of peripherals and supplies. Service revenues consist of revenues from extended service contracts, non-warranty service visits and additional training.

          During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company launched an all-new, updated CCM ExpressTM, which provides accurate resting energy expenditure measurements (“REE”) for either ventilated or spontaneously breathing patients. The Company expects the added features of the CCM Express to expand the scope of use for this product and its REE function beyond critical care management into cardiology, oncology and other markets.

          Total revenues for the second quarter of 2009 was $6.2 million, a decrease of 15.2% from $7.3 million in 2008. Operating expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $3.5 million, a decrease of 17.1% from the same period in 2008. Net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2009 was $225,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $373,000, or $0.09 per share, for the same period in 2008.

          Total revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was $12.6 million, a decrease of 14.8% from $14.8 million in 2008. Operating expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2009 were $7.4 million, a decrease of 14.8% from the same period in 2008. Net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2009 was $847,000, or $0.21 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.26 per share, for the same period in 2008.

Table of Contents

          The following paragraphs discuss the Company’s performance for the three and six-month periods ending April 30, 2009 and 2008:

Revenue

          Total revenue for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009, decreased by 15.2% and 14.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease in revenue of $1.1 million for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 was primarily caused by the general deterioration in the economic environment as hospitals and other health care facilities continued to delay or freeze spending on capital projects. A total of $194,000 of the decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in clinical research customer revenue due to the 2008 early conclusion of our large clinical research customer’s trials.

          The decrease in revenue of $2.2 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2009 was primarily due to the economic conditions, and in part due to $695,000 decrease in clinical research customer revenue from the 2008 early conclusion of our large clinical research customer’s trials.

Gross Margin

          Gross margin percentage for the three and six-months ended April 30, 2009 increased to 53.2% and 52.3% of revenue, respectively, compared to 52.4% and 51.4%, respectively, for the same periods in 2008. Gross margin percentage for the three-month period increased by one percentage point as a result of cost reductions implemented in the second quarter of 2008 as well as an improved sales mix. The increase in gross margin percentage for the six-month period was positively impacted by the same factors as the second quarter, but also included a larger amount of high margin service revenues as a percentage of total sales.

Selling and Marketing

          Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ended April 30, 2009 from $2.3 million and $4.7 million for the same periods in 2008.

          The $697,000, or 30.1%, decrease for the three month period ended April 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, is primarily due to a drop in payroll, benefits and other employee related expenses of $353,000 related to the implementation of a Reduction-in-Force (RIF) in the prior year. On April 30, 2008, the Company terminated nine employees as part of an on-going restructuring. The Company also accrued $65,000 of severance and medical benefits for those employees related to the selling and marketing function in the prior year. The Company also paid a one-time non-recurring termination fee of $63,000 to a distributor in the second quarter of 2008. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company also eliminated, due to a change in estimate, a portion of senior management incentive bonus accrual, which decreased operating expense by $57,000. In addition, commissions decreased by $126,000 as a result of lower revenues due to the challenging sales environment.

          The $1.3 million, or 27.1%, decrease for the six-month period ended April 30, 2009 is also primarily due to a drop in payroll, benefits and other employee-related expenses of $769,000. During the first half of 2008, the Company implemented two RIFs to better manage operating expenses. The Company also paid the one-time termination fee of $63,000 to a distributor in the second quarter of 2008. As noted above, during the second quarter of 2009, the Company also eliminated, due to a change in estimate, a portion of senior management incentive bonus accrual, which decreased operating expense by $57,000. In addition, commissions decreased by $206,000 as a result of lower revenues due to the challenging sales environment.

General and Administrative

          For the three months ended April 30, 2009, general and administrative expenses decreased by $51,000, or 4.9%, compared to the same period in 2008. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, general and administrative expenses decreased by $215,000, or 9.1%, compared to the same periods in 2008.

          For the three months ended April 30, 2009, professional fees, mostly related to the audit function, decreased by $17,000 compared to the same period in 2008. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company also eliminated a portion of senior management incentive bonus accrual, due to a change in estimate, which decreased general and administrative expense by $57,000. This was partially offset by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $55,000, which was incurred as a result of the issuance of options and restricted stock awards on August 28, 2008. Payroll expense also decreased by $17,000 since the CFO position was open for half of the second quarter of 2008.

          For the six months ended April 30, 2009, non-cash stock-based compensation expense increased by $101,000 due to stock option and restricted share grants issued August 28, 2008. This was offset by a one-time severance payment in 2008 of $194,000, a decrease in audit and other professional fees of $79,000 and a net reduction in general and administrative expense of $43,000 when the Company eliminated a portion of senior management incentive bonus accrual, due to a change in estimate, in the second quarter.

Research and Development

          Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009 were $729,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to $708,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, for the same period in 2008.

          Payroll and benefits expense increased by $191,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 as the Company expanded its investment in new product development and quality assurance. Project expenses associated with new products increased by $31,000 due to the launch of the updated CCM Express in the first quarter of 2009. This was partially offset by a decrease in legal fees of $30,000 due to less patent-related work compared to the prior year. The Company’s current new product development initiatives include products targeted for hospital intensive care units, cardiology, dietary, asthma, allergy and primary care physicians, health and fitness club professionals, as well as international markets.

Amortization of Intangibles

          Amortization of developed technology was $182,000 and $364,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2009, unchanged from the comparable periods in 2008.

Interest Income

          Interest income for the three months and six month periods ended April 30, 2009 decreased $42,000 and $101,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease in interest income is principally due to significantly lower market interest rates as the Company moved its invested cash and cash equivalents into investments where the main goal is preservation of capital. The Company is exploring alternatives to increase its interest income while maintaining the highest degree of safety in its investments.

Table of Contents

Provision for Income Taxes

          The Company is required to present the provision for taxes as if it were fully taxable in accordance with SOP 90-7. With respect to the actual payment of taxes, however, the Company has utilized its pre-emergence bankruptcy NOLs in the calculation of its income taxes payable but is still required to pay U.S. and State alternative minimum taxes (“AMT”) in certain jurisdictions, even though it has substantial federal and state NOL carry forwards. During the quarters ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not use any tax benefits related to pre-emergence bankruptcy NOLs. See note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, “Income Taxes,” in this Form 10-Q for additional discussion of the accounting for income taxes and the use of pre-emergence bankruptcy NOLs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Company has financed its liquidity needs over the last several years through revenue generated by the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Graphics Corporation.

          The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.6 million and working capital of $15.1 million as of April 30, 2009. During the first half of fiscal 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $847,000. However, cash flow from operating activities were $567,000, primarily due to the collections of accounts receivable for $691,000 and the add-back of non-cash expenses totaling $947,000 for depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense.

          Partially offsetting these cash inflows were a decrease in accounts payable balances of $162,000, a decrease in employee compensation payables of $102,000 and a decrease in deferred income of $108,000. Employee compensation accruals decreased due to a lower bonus accrual for 2009 year-to-date performance compared to 2008. Accounts payable balances have dropped as the business environment that the Company operates in has slowed.

          For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the Company used $48,000 in cash for the purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets. The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2009.

          The Company generated cash from financing activities of $74,000 during the six months ended April 30, 2009 from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

          The Company believes that its liquidity and capital resource needs for at least the next 12 months will be met through its current cash and cash equivalents as well as cash flows resulting from operations. In addition, as previously announced, the Company has developed a market-focused approach to leverage the strength of its MedGraphics brand and worldwide selling and distribution capability. Specifically, the Company has held discussions with various potential product and technology partners. If the Company is successful in concluding these negotiations, it may use some of its cash and capital resources in the acquisition of new technologies or businesses. Although the Company is continuing to look at a number of these opportunities, it currently has no agreements or understandings with any of these third parties.

          The discussion in this Form 10-Q, including statements in this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements about Angeion’s future financial results and business prospects that by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “target,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or business plans or prospects. Our actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors including: (1) national and worldwide economic and capital market conditions; (2) continuing cost-containment efforts in our hospital, clinics, and office market, (3) our ability to explore and acquire new businesses and products that complement our existing products, (4) our ability to successfully operate our business including our ability to develop, improve, and update our cardiorespiratory diagnostic products and successfully sell these products under the MedGraphics and New Leaf Fitness brand names into existing and new markets, (5) our ability to maintain our cost structure at a level that is appropriate to our near to mid-term revenue expectations and that will enable us to increase revenues and profitability as opportunities develop, (6) our ability to achieve constant margins for our products and consistent and predictable operating expenses in light of variable revenues from our clinical research customers, (7) our ability to effectively manufacture and ship products in required quantities to meet customer demands, (8) our ability to expand our international revenue through our distribution partners and our Milan, Italy representative branch office; (9) our ability to successfully defend ourselves from product liability claims related to our cardiorespiratory diagnostic products and claims associated with our prior cardiac stimulation products, (10) our ability to defend our existing intellectual property and to obtain United States and international intellectual property protection for our new products; (11) our ability to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls and procedures and disclosure controls and procedures, and (12) our dependence on third-party vendors for some of our products.

          Additional information with respect to the risks and uncertainties faced by the Company may be found in, and the above discussion is qualified in its entirety by, the other risk factors that are described from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2008 and subsequently–filed reports.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

None.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

          Management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer, Rodney A. Young, and chief financial officer, William J. Kullback, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that the disclosure controls are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

          There have been no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

          From time to time, the Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits that are filed in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company brings suit against others to enforce patent rights or to collect debts in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the settlement or other resolution of all litigation would not have a material effect on the results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

          The most significant risk factors applicable to the Company are described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2008. Except as set forth below, we believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in that Annual Report on Form 10-K.

          The Company is experiencing continuing slowness in its sales of its MedGraphics cardiorespiratory products due to cost-containment measures in its hospital, clinics and physician office market and is unable to predict when sales in this market will recover.

          The Company sells its MedGraphics brand cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems and services to hospitals, clinics and physician offices. During the first half of 2009, the Company experienced lower than anticipated sales to these customers due to continuing slowdowns in orders, delayed capital projects, and cuts in capital and operating budgets. Although the Company is continuing to market its new and existing products to these customers, the Company is unable to predict when these customers will resume traditional or predictable purchasing patterns.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

          None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

          None.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
