BioCardia, Inc. - Quarter Report: 2009 June (Form 10-Q)

On June 30, 2009, Cardo received cash contributions from investors to purchase 8,689,319 shares ("Purchaser Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share at a price of $0.35 per share for aggregate total proceeds of $3,023,013 (net of legal fees of $18,247). The Purchaser Shares have a 24-month lock up provision.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had not yet issued the Purchaser Shares and has recorded this amount as common stock issuable. The Company expects to subsequently issue these shares in August 2009.

Cardo's businesses are currently organized into the following two reportable segments; reconstructive products (the "Reconstructive Division") and spine products (the "Spine Division"). The Reconstructive Division segment is comprised of activity relating to Cardo's unicompartmental knee, patella-femoral products, and reconstructive knee products. The Spine Division segment is comprised of the spinal lumbar fusion system and cervical plate and screw systems.

These reportable segments are based on the nature of the products offered. Management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment operating results. Due to the distinct nature of the products in the Reconstructive Division, and the fact that it has a more developed market for its products, it is considered by management as a separate segment. The Spine Division is still in the process of developing the market and obtaining instrumentation necessary to sell the products in greater quantities. As a result, the Spine Division is considered by management as a separate segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

As of June 30, 2009, the Reconstructive Division includes $1,232,823 of goodwill and $4,677,773 in other intangible assets relating to Cardo's unicompartmental knee product. These amounts are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table sets forth financial information by reportable segment as of June 30, 2009 and for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

All of the Company's net sales were attributable to activity in the United States. There were no long-lived assets held in foreign countries.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The following discussion and analysis excludes the impact of clickNsettle.com, Inc. ("CKST")'s financial condition and results of operations prior to the Merger on August 29, 2008 because they were not material in relation to the financial information for any of the periods presented below.

All amounts, other that share amounts, are stated in thousands.

As used in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," except where the context otherwise requires, the term "we," "us," "our" or "Cardo" refers to the business of Cardo Medical, Inc.

Cardo Medical, Inc. is an early-stage orthopedic medical device company specializing in designing, developing and marketing reconstructive joint devices and spinal surgical devices. Reconstructive joint devices are used to replace knee, hip and other joints that have deteriorated through disease or injury. Spinal surgical devices involve products to stabilize the spine for fusion and reconstructive procedures. Within these areas, Cardo intends to focus on the higher-growth sectors of the orthopedic industry, such as advanced minimally invasive instrumentation and bone-conserving high-performance implants. Cardo is focused on developing surgical devices that will enable surgeons to bridge the gap between soft tissue-driven sports medicine techniques and classical reconstructive surgical procedures. Cardo commercializes its reconstructive joint devices through its Cardo Orthopedics division and its spine devices through its Cardo Spine division. The Company launched and commenced sales of its first product in late 2006, which was a high-performance, unicompartmental knee replacement. The Company commenced sales of its reconstructive and spine products in 2008.

On June 18, 2008, Cardo entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with CKST and Cardo Acquisition, LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of CKST. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, CKST acquired Cardo through a merger of Cardo with Cardo Acquisition, with Cardo continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CKST. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding units of Cardo's membership interests were converted into the right to receive shares of the common stock of CKST.

We are headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, CKST proposed to its shareholders an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from "clickNsettle.com, Inc." to "Cardo Medical, Inc." CKST's trading symbol was "CKST.OB," which has changed to "CDOM.OB" in connection with the name change. CDOM's common stock is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s, Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or the OTC Bulletin Board.

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management makes estimates relating to allowances for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventory items, the estimated depreciable lives of property and equipment, the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, share-based payment, deferred tax assets and the allocation of the purchase price paid for the minority interests in Uni, Cervical and Accelerated. Given the short operating history of Cardo, actual results could differ from those estimates.

On August 29, 2008, Cardo consummated a reverse takeover of CKST thereby adopting CKST as the taxpaying entity.

Accordingly, on June 17, 2008, the Company adopted the guidelines specified in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In accordance with SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at currently effective tax rates, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized on a cumulative basis in the financial statements. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The estimated value of the deferred tax assets are subject to significant change based on the company's future profitability. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

Also on June 17, 2008, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement requirement for the financial statement recognition of a tax position that has been taken or is expected to be taken on a tax return and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Under FIN 48, the Company may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The company's tax position, based on the FIN 48 analysis, is unlikely to change.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 13, the Company recognizes revenue when it's realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue to be realizable and earned when all of the four criteria in SAB Topic 13 are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of the arrangements occurs when the Company receives a signed contract from the hospital in which the surgery will be performed. Within that contract is the price at which the hospital will buy the device. Delivery occurs on the day of surgery when the device is implanted by the surgeon. Collectability is reasonably assured as we have continuing relationships with the hospitals and we can pursue collections if necessary. As the company does not accept returns and does not have any post-sale obligations, the date of revenue recognition is generally on the day of the surgery.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or

10

discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company's management currently believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company's products will continue. Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets. The first step of the Company's goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is completed. The testing for impairment needs to be conducted at the reporting unit, or component level, which is one level below the operating unit. In Cardo's case, the operating units are the Reconstructive and Spine product lines. The reporting units are one level below that. In the case of the Reconstructive Division, the reporting units are the knee and hip products. For the Spine Division, the reporting units are the licensed and internally developed products.

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years. This estimate is based on the useful life of the individual items. When items are retired or disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between the net book value of the asset and the proceeds realized thereon. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized. This estimate is unlikely to experience any differences from what is reflected in the financial statements.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123R").

In order to determine compensation on options issued to consultants, and employees' options, the fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the requisite service period used in the Black-Scholes calculation based on an analysis of vesting and exercisability conditions, explicit, implicit, and/or derived service periods, and the probability of the satisfaction of any performance or service conditions. The Company also considers whether the requisite service has been rendered when recognizing compensation costs. Because the Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the components of the small cap sector of the Dow Jones medical equipment index for a period equal to the expected life of the Cardo options. It also measures the volatility of other public companies with similar size and industry characteristics to Cardo for the same period. These measurements are averaged and the result is used as expected volatility. As there is no history of option lives at Cardo, the expected term of options granted is the midpoint between the vesting periods and the contractual life of the options. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The forfeiture rate is based on an analysis of the nature of the recipients' jobs and relationships to the Company.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value as determined by assessing the gross profit less selling costs of each inventory item. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis; and the inventory is comprised of work in process and finished goods. Work in process consists of fabrication costs paid relating to items not physically received. Finished goods are completed knee, spine and hip replacement products ready for resale to customers.

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes an analysis of sales levels by product type. Among other factors, the Company considers current product configurations, historical and forecasted demand, market conditions and product life cycles when

11

determining the net realizable value of the inventory. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventory. The Company did not have any inventory considered by management to be excess or obsolete as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009. Based on the forecasted sales amounts, we do not expect any changes in net realizable value in the near future.

Accounting standards promulgated by FASB periodically change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company's future financial position. The following is a summary of recent accounting developments.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003) - an interpretation of ARB No. 51, which requires an enterprise to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has not completed its evaluation, but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 167 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and the Extinguishments of Liabilities, and seeks to improve the relevance and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about transfers of financial assets; the effects of the transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor's interest in transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has not completed its evaluation, but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 166 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, (SFAS No. 165), which provides guidance on management's assessment of subsequent events.  SFAS No. 165 is not expected to significantly change practice because its guidance is similar to that in American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Professional Standards U.S. Auditing Standards Section 560, "Subsequent Events," with some modifications.  This statement became effective for the Company on June 15, 2009.  The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 does not change the definition of fair value as detailed in FAS 157, but provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for

12

the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The provisions of FSP 157-4 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 157-4 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than- Temporary Impairments ("FSP 115-2 and FAS 124-2"). FSP 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities and provides additional disclosure requirements for other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. FSP 115-2 and FAS 124-2 address the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. The provisions of FSP 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1"). FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 require that disclosures about the fair value of a company's financial instruments be made whenever summarized financial information for interim reporting periods is made. The provisions of FSP 107-1 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The following is a comparison of the consolidated results of operations for Cardo for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:
