ZYNEX,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September
30, 2008
(1) UNAUDITED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
by Zynex, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. A description of the Company’s accounting policies and
other financial information is included in the audited consolidated financial
statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2008 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal
year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire
year.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zynex,
Inc. and Zynex Medical, Inc. for all of the periods presented. All inter company
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(2) SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE
RECOGNITION AND ALLOWANCES FOR PROVIDER DISCOUNTS AND
COLLECTIBILITY
The
Company recognizes revenue when each of the following four conditions are met:
1) a contract or sales arrangement exists; 2) products have been shipped and
title has transferred or rental services have been rendered; 3) the price of the
products or services is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectibility is
reasonably assured. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue, both rental and
purchase, when products have been dispensed to the patient and the patient’s
having insurance has been verified. For medical products that are sold from
inventories consigned at clinic locations, the Company recognizes revenue when
it receives notice that the product has been prescribed and dispensed to the
patient and the patient’s having insurance has been verified or preauthorization
has been obtained from the insurance company, when required. Revenue
from the rental of products is normally on a month-to-month basis and is
recognized ratably over the products’ rental period. Products on rental
contracts are placed in property and equipment and depreciated over their
estimated useful life. All revenue is recognized at amounts estimated to be paid
by customers or third-party providers using the Company’s established rates, net
of estimated provider discounts. The Company recognizes revenue from
distributors when it ships its products.

ZYNEX,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September
30, 2008
A
significant portion of the Company’s revenues are derived, and the related
receivables are due, from insurance companies or other third-party providers.
The nature of these receivables within this industry has typically resulted in
long collection cycles. The process of determining what products will be
reimbursed by third-party providers and the amounts that they will reimburse is
complex and depends on conditions and procedures that vary among providers and
may change from time to time.. The Company maintains an allowance for provider
discounts and records additions to the allowance to account for the risk of
nonpayment. Provider discounts result from reimbursements from insurance
providers that are less than amounts claimed, where the amount claimed by the
Company exceeds the insurance provider's usual, customary and reasonable
reimbursement rate and when there is a benefit denial. The Company sets the
amount of the allowance, and adjusts the allowance at the end of each reporting
period, based on a number of factors, including historical rates of collection,
trends in the historical rates of collection and current relationships and
experience with insurance companies or other third-party providers. If the rates
of collection of past-due receivables recorded for previous fiscal periods
changes, or if there is a trend in the rates of collection on those receivables,
the Company may be required to change the rate at which they provide for
additions to the allowance. A change in the rates of the Company’s collections
can result from a number of factors, including turnover in personnel, changes in
the reimbursement policies or practices of providers, or changes in industry
rates of reimbursement. Accordingly, the provision for provider discounts
recorded in the income statement as a reduction of revenue has fluctuated and
may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Such allowances
have gradually increased as third-party providers have delayed payments and
restricted amounts to be reimbursed for products provided by the
Company.
Due to
the nature of the industry and the reimbursement environment in which the
Company operates, estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts
receivable at their net realizable values. Inherent in these estimates is the
risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information
becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of third-party billing
arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain products
or services from providers may result in adjustments to amounts originally
recorded. Due to continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party
reimbursement, it is possible that management’s estimates could change in the
near term, which could have an impact on results of operations and cash flows.
Any differences between estimated settlements and final determinations are
reflected as a reduction to revenue in the period known.
In
addition to the allowance for provider discounts, the Company provides for
uncollectible accounts receivable. These uncollectible accounts receivable are a
result of non-payment from patients who have been direct billed for co-payments
or deductibles; lack of appropriate insurance coverage; and disallowances of
charges by third-party providers. The reserve is based on historical trends,
current relationships with providers, and internal process improvements. If there were a change to a material insurance
provider contract or policies or application of them by a provider, a decline in
the economic condition of providers, or a significant turnover of Company
personnel, the current level of the reserve for uncollectible accounts
receivable may not be adequate and may result in an increase of these levels in
the future.
At
December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, the allowance for provider discounts
and collectibility are as follows:

USE OF
ESTIMATES
Preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. The most significant
management estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying financial
statements are associated with the allowances for provider discounts, bad debts
and obsolete or damaged inventory.
RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities: (“SFAS No. 161”), SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the
disclosure requirements for FASB Statement No. 133, “Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”). It requires enhanced disclosure about (i)
how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative
instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its
related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedge
items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial position
and results of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain
amounts in the 2007 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
the presentation used in 2008.
INVENTORY
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost (average) or market. Finished goods include
products held at different locations by health care providers or other third
parties for rental or sale to patients.
The
Company monitors inventory for turnover and obsolescence, and records losses for
excess and obsolete inventory as appropriate. At September 30, 2008, the Company
had an allowance for obsolete and damaged inventory of approximately $240,000
and approximately $126,000 at December 31, 2007.
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. The Company removes the cost and the related
accumulated depreciation from the accounts of assets sold or retired, and the
resulting gains or losses are included in the results of operations.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Through March 31, 2008,
the Company recorded depreciation of all property and equipment in a separate
line item within operating expenses. As rental inventory contributes directly to
the revenue generating process, the Company reclassified the depreciation of
rental inventory to cost of sales. The consolidated statement of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 has been reclassified to reflect this
change. The consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation
used in 2008. The amount of reclassification was not material to the
consolidated statements of operations.

(3) EARNINGS
PER SHARE
The
Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share", which establishes standards for computing and presenting
net earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and the number of dilutive potential common share equivalents during
the period, calculated using the if-converted and treasury-stock
methods.
The
calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007
and 2008 is as follows:

(4) STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION PLANS
The
Company has a 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") and has reserved
3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Option Plan. Vesting
provisions are determined by the Board of Directors. All stock options under the
Option Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded
compensation expense related to stock options of $25,744 and $4,962,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $60,823 and $18,329,
respectively. The stock compensation expense was included in selling, general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
For the
three months ended September 30, 2008 the Company granted stock options to
acquire 156,000 shares of common stock to employees at an exercise price
of $1.70 per share. The fair value of stock options at the date of
grant during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.46. During the
three months ended September 30, 2007 the Company granted stock options to
acquire 38,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$0.85.
The
Company used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of stock

(5) LOANS
FROM STOCKHOLDER
In 2006
Mr. Thomas Sandgaard, the majority stockholder, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Company, loaned the Company $146,900, of which $50,000 was
converted to a 24 month, 8.25% term loan, with equal monthly payments of
principal and interest commencing April 1, 2006. The remaining $96,900 was
represented by a 8.25% demand note. During the three months ended September 30,
2008, the Company repaid the loans in full.
In May
and June 2007, Mr. Sandgaard made 24-month unsecured loans to the Company in the
principal amounts of $50,000 and $24,000 for a total amount of
$74,000. The loans bear interest at 8.25% per annum and require
monthly payments of $2,267, commencing June 2007 and $1,088 commencing July
2007, for a total of $3,355. As of September 30, 2008, $19,999 and
$12,544 remain outstanding. The loans from Mr. Sandgaard were used for working
capital purposes and repayment of a note payable.
In
September 2007, Mr. Sandgaard made a loan to the Company in the principal amount
of $59,500. The loan bears interest at 8.25% per annum commencing September 30,
2007 and is a demand note. Accrued interest not paid is added to the
principal. As of September 30, 2008, $18,971 remains outstanding. The loan from
Mr. Sandgaard was used for working capital purposes.
(6) INCOME
TAXES
The

applicable for the full fiscal year.
(7) NOTES
PAYABLE
At
January 1, 2008, the Company had $228,215 outstanding under two term loan
agreements with a bank. In January 2008, the Company defaulted on the

September
30, 2008
In
September 2008, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with
Marquette Business Credit, Inc., d/b/a Marquette Healthcare Finance (“Lender”).
The Loan Agreement provides Zynex with a revolving credit facility of up to
$3,000,000 (the “Loan”). As of September 30, 2008,
the balance on the facility was $427,062. The Lender may assert that the
claim of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (“Anthem”) described in Note 9 below
constitutes a breach of representations and warranties made to the Lender, which
could be an event of default; the Lender may also assert the Anthem claim has
been a material adverse change which would affect the Lender’s obligations to
make any advances under the Loan. The Anthem claim also affected the
Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2008 and thus financial
covenants of the Loan, one of which is not satisfied as of September 30,
2008. The Lender has consented to the settlement with Anthem
described in Note 9 and has also indicated to the Company that it will provide a
waiver relating to the Anthem claim and the settlement of it. In
addition, the Lender has indicated that it will negotiate with the Company a
revision to the covenant which has not been satisfied as of September 30, 2008.
A waiver and revised covenant from the Lender are not certain until an executed
written waiver or amendment is completed.
Marquette
Loan
The
Company may borrow, repay and re-borrow under the Loan. The amount
available for advances under the Loan cannot exceed the lesser of the Borrowing
Base, which is in general a percentage of eligible accounts receivable less a
reserve and subject to a ceiling of eight trailing weeks collections, or the
Facility Limit determined from time to time by the Lender. The
Facility Limit is initially $3,000,000. The Loan bears interest at a
floating rate equal to the rate per annum published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal as
the base rate for corporate loans at large commercial banks, adjusted on the day
of a change, plus 2.5% (7.5% at September 30, 2008). Interest is
payable monthly. The Loan is secured by a first security interest in
all of the Company’s assets, including accounts, contract rights, inventory,
equipment and fixtures, general intangibles, intellectual property, shares of
Zynex Medical, Inc. owned by the Company, and other assets. The Loan
terminates, and must be paid in full, on September 23, 2011.
Fees
under the Loan Agreement include an unused line fee of 0.5% per annum payable
monthly on the difference between the average daily balance and the total
Facility Limit. If the Company terminates the Loan Agreement prior to
the termination date, there is a termination fee of 3% of the Facility Limit
prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 2% of the Facility Limit at
any time between the first and second annual anniversary of the Closing Date and
1% at any time from the second anniversary of the Closing Date to the final
termination date of the Loan.
The Loan
Agreement includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants on the part of
the Company. Affirmative covenants concern, among other things,
compliance with requirements of law, engaging only in the same businesses
conducted on the Closing Date, accounting methods, financial records, notices of
certain events, and financial reporting requirements. Negative
covenants include a Minimum EBITDA, a Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio, a
Minimum Current Ratio and a prohibition on dividends on shares and purchases of
any Company stock. Other negative covenants include, among other
things, limitations on capital expenditures in any fiscal year, operating
leases, permitted indebtedness, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens,
mergers, sales of assets or acquisitions, and transactions with
affiliates.

Events of
Default under the Loan Agreement include, among other things: Failure
to pay any obligation under the Loan Agreement when due; failure to perform or
observe covenants or other obligations under the Loan Agreement or other Loan
Documents; the occurrence of a default or an event of default under any other
Loan Document; a breach of any agreement relating to lockbox accounts; the
occurrence of certain events related to bankruptcy or insolvency; the Company’s
majority stockholder ceasing to own at least 51% of the Company’s outstanding
voting capital stock; the Company’s ceasing to own 100% of the capital stock of
Zynex Medical; or a Change in Control. The Company will have 15 days
to cure any noticed Event of Default other than a failure to pay any of the Loan
when due. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender may
accelerate the principal of and interest on the Loan by providing notice of
acceleration and the Lender’s commitment to make additional loans would
terminate.
Validity
Guaranty
As
required by the Loan Agreement, Mr. Sandgaard has entered into a Validity
Guaranty with the Lender. Under the Validity Guaranty, Mr. Sandgaard
is liable to the Lender for any loss or liability suffered by the Lender arising
from any fraudulent or criminal activities of the Company or its executive
officers with respect to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents
or any fraudulent or criminal activities arising from the operation of the
business of the Company, which activities are known to Mr.
Sandgaard. Mr. Sandgaard also warrants the accuracy of financial
statements, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the
Company under the Loan Agreement, and certain other matters. He
agrees to notify the Lender of a breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by the Company. Mr. Sandgaard’s liability under the
Validity Guaranty is not to exceed the amount of the obligations owed by the
Company to the Lender. The Validity Guaranty terminates from and
after the following: Mr. Sandgaard ceases to be the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company.
Subordination
Agreement
On the
Closing Date, the Company entered into a Subordination Agreement with Mr.
Sandgaard and the Lender, pursuant to which all indebtedness of the Company owed
to Mr. Sandgaard was subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of the
Company owed to the Lender. As part of this Agreement, Mr. Sandgaard
will not demand or receive payment from the Company or exercise any remedies
regarding the Subordinated Debt so long as the Senior Date remains outstanding,
except that Mr. Sandgaard may receive regularly scheduled payments of principal
and interest on existing promissory notes, including demand payments on the
demand promissory note, so long as there is no default or Event of Default under
any of the Loan Documents. Mr. Sandgaard also subordinated any
security interest held by him in the Company’s assets to the security interest
of the Lender.
(8) STOCKHOLDERS'
EQUITY, COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
In
January 2008, the Company notified warrant holders from the 2006 private
placement that an event had occurred which accelerated the expiration date of
the warrants. In February 2008 the Company had received notices of
exercise and payments from all the warrant holders notified. The
Company issued 1,740,000 shares of common stock to the warrant holders and
received $678,600 in proceeds from their exercise. The Company was
obligated to pay $71,881 to the two investment firms that originally aided in
the 2006 private placement as fees related to the warrant
exercise. The Company was also obligated to issue 180,351 shares of
common stock to the two investment firms that originally aided in the 2006
private placement as fees related to the warrant exercise. In April

(9) REFUND CLAIM AND
SETTLEMENT.
The
Company received and has settled a refund claim by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield
which originally concerned payments previously made by Anthem for certain
medical devices (the “devices”) rented or sold to insureds of Anthem by the
Company through July 31, 2008. In the settlement, the Company agreed
to pay Anthem a total of $679,930 over 12 months and waive rights to payments of
outstanding billings for the devices provided to Anthem’s insureds subsequent to
September 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. Accounts receivable for
these billings were approximately to be $329,664, net of contractual allowances,
as of June 30, 2008. Under the settlement, the Company will initially
pay $17,770 before the end of 2008 and will monthly make a payment of $55,180 on
the first day of each month commencing December 1, 2008 and ending November 1,
2009. The liability of $679,930 is recorded in other accrued
liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
September 30, 2008. The Company may request that patients voluntarily return
devices which were the subject of the settlement, but the Company is not doing
so if the return of the equipment would interfere with the treatment of the
patient.
The
Company recognized no revenue in the third quarter of 2008 relating to the
devices rented or sold to insureds of Anthem.
The
Company wrote off the accounts receivable ($329,664) from Anthem against the
allowance for provider discounts for the devices, which receivables were unpaid
and arose prior to July 1, 2008. The Company also charged the amount to be
repaid to Anthem ($679,930) against the allowance for provider discounts. The
Company records its normal provision for provider discounts as direct reductions
of rental and sales revenue (see Note 2); however, because of the size and
retrospective nature of the Anthem settlement ($1,009,594 in total), this change
in estimate has been displayed as an additional provision and as a separate line
reducing total revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Although
Anthem had paid claims for the devices, including some that were individually
subject to an Anthem review process and resulted in decisions favorable to the
Company, Anthem claimed in a retrospective review that the devices were
considered investigational or not medically necessary under a medical policy
statement of its parent entity and therefore not eligible for
payment. Anthem originally claimed that it should receive a refund of
approximately $1,065,000. The Company met with representatives of
Anthem for reconsideration of the claim. Anthem continued to assert
the claim, and on October 31, 2008, the Company gave notice to appeal the claim
to a higher authority at Anthem. On November 18, 2008, the Company
and Anthem executed an agreement for the settlement as described
above.
Anthem
has been and continues to be one of the largest health insurers in terms of
payments to the Company for the rental and sale of its products. The
Company continues to have an agreement (terminable by either party upon advance
notice) with Anthem making the Company part of the Anthem
network. Neither Anthem nor the Company has indicated that it will
terminate this agreement. The Company also continues to provide its
products to Anthem insureds, including products which may be used to treat
insureds with the same medical conditions as those using devices subject to the
claim.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following information should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained in this
report.
Results
of Operations
Net
Rental Revenue. Net rental revenue for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, was $3,044,875 and $9,112,417 an increase of
$1,687,011 and $5,996,427or 124% and 192% compared to $1,357,864 and $3,125,990
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net
rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due
primarily to an increase in prescriptions (orders) for rentals of the Company’s
electrotherapy products. Other reasons for the increase in net rental revenue
are indicated in “Net Sales and Rental Revenue” below. The rate of increase in
rental revenue slowed in the third quarter of 2008 because we did not recognize
revenues (approximately $1,075,000) from the rental of certain devices to
insureds of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield during the quarter due to a refund
claim of Anthem which was settled in November 2008. See Note 9 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report.
Net
rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 made up
67% and 69% of net sales and rental revenue compared to 65% and 63% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the percentage
of total net sales and rental revenue from rental revenue during the first nine
months of 2008 was due primarily to increased orders for rentals of products
compared to orders for sales of products and, once rented, continuation of
rental revenue while the products are used or until sold. The level of net
rental revenue for the third quarter of 2008 was affected by the refund claim
mentioned above.
Our
products may be rented on a monthly basis or purchased. Renters and purchasers
are primarily patients and healthcare providers; there are also purchases by
dealers. If the patient is covered by health insurance, the third-party payer
typically determines whether the patient will rent or purchase a unit depending
on the anticipated time period for its use. If contractually arranged, a rental
continues until an amount equal to the purchase price is paid when we transfer
ownership of the product to the patient and cease rental charges.
Net
Sales Revenue. Net sales revenue for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, were $1,467,713 and $4,178,835 an increase of
$721,131 and $2,358,441 or 97% and 130% compared to $746,582 and $1,820,394 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net sales
revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due primarily to more
products in use generating sales of consumable supplies to users of the
Company’s products as well as higher levels of products sold. The majority of
net sales revenue is derived from surface electrodes sent to existing patients
each month and other consumable supplies for our products. Other reasons for the
increase in net sales revenue are indicated in “Net Sales and Rental Revenue”
below.
Net sales
revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 made up 33% and
31% of net sales and rental revenue compared to 35% and 37% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the percentage of total
net sales and rental revenue during the first nine months of 2008 was due
primarily to increased orders for rentals of products compared to orders for
purchases of products. The rental revenue as a percentage of net revenues for
the third quarter of 2008 decreased because of the refund claim described
above.
Provider
Settlement Provision. As mentioned above, in November 2008 the Company
settled a refund claim with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. As part of the
settlement the Company agreed to pay Anthem $679,930 and forego unpaid claims in
existence at June 30, 2008 of $329,664. Substantially all of the $1,009,594
relates to net rental revenue; if this amount had been a direct reduction to net
rental revenue it would not allow the comparison of net rental revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2008.
-
18 -
The
Company records its normal provision for provider discounts as direct reductions
of rental and sales revenues; however, because of the size and retrospective
nature of the Anthem settlement, the Company has treated it as a change in
estimate and displayed the additional provision needed of $1,009,594 as a
separate line reducing total revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Net Sales and Rental
Revenue. Net sales and rental revenue for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, were $3,502,994 and $12,291,658 an increase of
$1,398,548 and $7,345,274 or 66% and 148% compared to $2,104,446 and $4,946,384
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net
sales and rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due primarily
to an increase in prescriptions (orders) for rentals and purchases of the
Company’s electrotherapy products. The increase resulted from
the expansion of the sales force as discussed in the Company's Form 10-KSB/A
filed April 16, 2008; greater awareness of the Company's products by end users
and physicians resulting from marketing investments in 2007 and 2006; growing
market penetration; and increased rental revenue from the greater number of
Zynex products placed in use during prior periods. The claim mentioned above
offset in part the increase. We continue to add outside sales representatives
with a small increase to the total number of such representatives since December
31, 2007.
Our sales
and rental revenue is reported net, after deductions for bad debt and estimated
insurance company reimbursement deductions. The deductions are known throughout
the health care industry as “contractual adjustments” and describe the process
whereby the healthcare insurers unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse
for our products as compared to the rental rates and sales prices charged by us.
See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this
Report.
Gross Profit. Gross
profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $3,049,396
and $11,103,134 67.6% and 83.5 % of net sales and rental revenue. For three and
nine months ended September 30, 2008, this represents an increase of $1,138,962
and $6,669,146 or 60% and 150% from the gross profit of $1,910,434 or 90.8% and
$4,433,988 or 89.6% of net revenue for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007. The increase in gross profit for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 as compared with the same periods in 2007 is primarily
because revenue increased from the prior periods. The decrease in gross profit
percentage for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared
with the same periods in 2007 is primarily from not recognizing revenue from the
rental of certain devices to insureds of Anthem during the third quarter of 2008
and the provider settlement provision which reduced net sales and rental revenue
in the third quarter of 2008.
The
Company does not plan to request many of Anthems insureds to return the devices
subject to the settlement before use is completed. Since most of the devices
were rentals and not sales, there was nominal effect on cost of rentals since
most of such cost was depreciation of the cost of the devices.
Selling, General and
Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $2,636,228 and $6,269,396 an
increase of $1,581,938 and $3,711,417 or 150% and 145%, compared to $1,054,290
and $2,557,979 for the same periods in 2007. The increase was primarily
due to increases in sales representative commissions, payroll, public company
expenses, legal expenses, accounting services and office expenses. The
increases were in part offset by lower marketing and promotion costs, and
temporary services.
The three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 include expenses for commissions earned
by sales representatives in the third quarter on primarily rentals and sales of
certain devices to the insureds of Anthem which the Company will not bill to
Anthem. The Company decided that the settlement with Anthem discussed in Note 9
to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not
affect the compensation of its sales representatives.
-
19 -
Interest and other income or
expense. Interest and other income or expense for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $2,331 of expense and $2,302 of
income, compared to $14,679 of expense and $235,315 of expense for the same
periods in 2007. We anticipate increases in the interest expense level because
of our borrowing under the line of credit established in September 2008. The
decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from the Company's
repayment in 2007 of the note issued to Ascendiant Capital in June of 2007,
and the Company’s repayment of the loans payable to Silicon Valley Bank in
February 2008, which is described in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements in this Report. The Company also recorded other income of
$27,201 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 resulting from the disposal of leased
equipment which had been treated as a capital lease.
Income tax
expense. We reported expenses for income taxes in the amount
of $205,000 and $1,585,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008 compared to $227,000 of expense and $443,000 of expense for the same
periods in 2007. This is primarily due to our having higher income
before taxes of $4,836,040 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 compared to income before taxes of $1,640,694 for the same period in
2007.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources.
Line
of Credit
Please
see Note 7 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for
information on a line of credit established with Marquette Healthcare Finance in
September 2008.
Limited
Liquidity
We have
limited liquidity. Our limited liquidity is primarily a result of (a)
the required high levels of consignment inventory that are standard in the
electrotherapy industry, (b) the payment of commissions to salespersons based on
sales or rentals prior to reimbursement for such transaction, (c) the high level
of outstanding accounts receivable because of the deferred payment practices of
third-party health payors, and (d) the need for improvements to the Company’s
internal billing processes and (e) delayed cost recovery inherent in rental
transactions. Our growth results in higher cash needs.
Our
business plan continues to contemplate growth in revenues and thus to require,
among other things, funds for the purchases of equipment, primarily for rental
inventory, and the payment of commissions to sales representatives.
We expect
that our available cash, projected cash flows from operating activities and
borrowing available under the Marquette line of credit will fund our cash
requirements for the 12 months ending September 30, 2009. This
expectation depends on completion of discussions with Marquette regarding the
waiver of any events of default relating to the Anthem claim and the
renegotiation of one of the financial covenants in the Marquette line of
credit.
There is
no assurance that our operations and available borrowings will provide enough
cash for operating requirements or for the additional purchases of
equipment. For this reason or to lower expenses, we may seek to raise
additional capital through debt or equity financings in 2008 or
2009. We have no arrangements for any additional external financing
of debt or equity, and we are not certain whether any such financing would be
available on acceptable terms.
Our
limited liquidity and dependence on operating cash flow means that risks
involved in our business can significantly affect our
liquidity. Contingencies such as unanticipated shortfalls in revenues
or increases in expenses could affect our projected revenue, cash flows from
operations and liquidity.
-
20 -
Cash
provided by operating activities was $65,239 for the nine months ended September
30, 2008 compared to $437,602 of cash provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007. The primary reasons for the decrease in
cash flow was the increase to accounts receivable and inventory in 2008 compared
to 2007, offset by an increase in non-cash expenses including provision for
losses on accounts receivable, provisions for payment provider discounts and
income taxes payable.
Cash used
in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was
$832,188 compared to cash used in investing activities of $432,433 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. Cash used in investing activities primarily
represents the purchase and in-house production of rental products as well as
some purchases of capital equipment.
Cash
provided by financing activities was $766,949 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 compared with cash used in financing activities of $266,827
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The primary financing
source of cash in 2008 were from proceeds from borrowings under the Marquette
line of credit and the sales of common stock partially offset by payments on
notes payable including the notes payable to Silicon Valley Bank. The
primary financing uses of cash in 2007 were payments on notes payable partially
offset by proceeds of loans issued to a stockholder.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncement:
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities: (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the
disclosure requirements for FASB Statement No. 133, “Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”). It requires enhanced disclosure about (i)
how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative
instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its
related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedge
items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial position
and results of operations.
SPECIAL
CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
information included in this quarterly report contains statements that are
forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future expansion and
other business development activities, as well as other capital spending and

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s
management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September
30, 2008. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in
internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30,
2008.
Based on
an evaluation as of December 31, 2007, management had concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31,
2007. Our principal Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company had a material weakness in its ability to produce
financial statements free from material misstatements. Management reported a
material weakness resulting from the combination of the following significant
deficiencies:
·
|
Lack
of documentation and review of financial information by our accounting
personnel with direct oversight responsibility, and lack of analysis and
reconciliation of certain accounts on a periodic
basis.
|
·
|
Lack
of timely reconciliation of inventory quantities and inventory location
and lack of timely calculation and review of unit costs applied to the
valuation of our inventory.
|
·
|
Lack
of timely write off of uncollectible and duplicate billings that result in
an overstatement of our accounts
receivable.
|
Based on
an evaluation as of September 30, 2008, our principal Chief Executive Officer
and principal Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that the Company does
not have sufficient procedures in place that are operating effectively to timely
communicate matters that may result in significant adjustments to or disclosures
in its financial statements.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In order
to remediate the material weaknesses described above, our management implemented
the following changes to our internal control over financial reporting during
the first and second quarter of 2008:
|
-
|
we
have hired additional accounting personnel (two) to assist us in the
timely identification, research and resolution of accounting issues and
with our documentation processes;
|
|
-
|
the
hiring of such additional high-level accounting personnel with experience
in US GAAP;
|
|
-
|
the
engagement of a third-party financial consulting firm to assist management
in evaluating complex accounting issues on an as-needed basis, and the
implementation of systems to improve control and review procedures over
all financial statement and account
balances.
|
We expect
that if the steps that we implement are effective throughout a period of time,
such material weakness described above will be remediated. We do not believe
that the costs of remediation for the above material weaknesses will have a
material effect on our financial position, cash flow, or results of
operations.
Management
has discussed with the Audit Committee the material weakness relating to
the evaluation as of September 30, 2008. We intend to address this
weakness promptly.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
The
following are certain revised risk factors concerning our business:
WE MAY BE
UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REQUIRED TO GROW OUR BUSINESS. WE MAY HAVE
TO CURTAIL OUR BUSINESS IF WE CANNOT FIND ADEQUATE FUNDING.
Our
ability to grow depends significantly on our ability to expand our operations
through internal growth and by acquiring other companies or
assets. This will require significant capital resources. We may need
to seek additional capital from public or private equity or debt sources to fund
our operating plans and respond to other contingencies such as:
·
|
shortfalls
in anticipated revenues or increases in
expenses;
|
·
|
the
development of new products; or
|
·
|
the
expansion of our operations, including the recruitment of additional sales
personnel.
|
We cannot
be certain that we will be able to raise additional capital in the future on
terms acceptable to us or at all. If alternative sources of financing are
insufficient or unavailable, we may be required to modify our growth and
operating plans in accordance with the extent of available
financing. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial
dilution to our then existing stockholders.
WE HAVE
LIMITED LIQUIDITY BECAUSE OUR CASH REQUIREMENTS INCREASE AS OUR OPERATIONS
EXPAND
Our
limited liquidity is primarily a result of (a) the required high levels of
consignment inventory that are standard in the electrotherapy industry, (b) the
payment of commissions to salespersons based on sales or rentals prior to
reimbursement for such transactions, (c) the high level of outstanding accounts
receivable because of deferred payment practices of third-party health payers,
(d) the need for improvements to the Company’s internal billing processes, and
(e) the delayed cost recovery inherent in rental transactions.
WE ARE
DEPENDENT ON REIMBURSEMENT FROM INSURANCE COMPANIES AND GOVERNMENT (MEDICARE AND
MEDICAID) AGENCIES; CHANGES IN INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES OR APPLICATION
OF THEM TO OUR PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN DECREASED OR DELAYED
REVENUES.
A large
percentage of our revenues comes from insurance company and government agency
reimbursement. Upon delivery of our products to our customers, we directly bill
the customers' private insurance company or government payer for reimbursement.
If the billed payers do not pay their bills on a timely basis or if they change
their policies to exclude coverage for our products, we would experience delayed
revenue recognition or a decline in our revenue as well as cash flow
issues. In addition, we may deliver products to customers based on
past practices and billing experiences with health insurance companies and have
a health insurance company later deny coverage for such products. In some cases
our delivered product may not be covered pursuant to a policy statement of a
health insurance provider, despite a payment history of the insurance provider
and benefits to the patients. In November 2008, we settled a refund claim by
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield for payments made by Anthem for certain medical
devices which were rented or sold to insureds of Anthem and which were
disallowed under an Anthem policy.
-
23 -
The
following is an additional risk factor concerning our business:
ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT US.
In
addition, the United States is experiencing severe instability in the commercial
and investment banking systems which is likely to continue to have far-reaching
effects on the economic activity in the country for an indeterminable period.
The long-term impact on the United States economy and the Company’s operating
activities and ability to raise capital cannot be predicted at this time, but
may be substantial.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES
OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
During
the third quarter of 2008, the Company issued 10,000 shares of
common stock to an outside sales representative as an
incentive award. We made no general solicitation
and we believe that the issuance of the shares met the standards for purchases
under an exemption for a non-public offering.
During
the third quarter of 2008, the Company issued 1,500 shares of
common stock to a consultant as settlement of a payable. We
made no general solicitation and we believe that the issuance of the shares met
the standards for purchases under an exemption for a non-public
offering.
During
the third quarter of 2008, the Company received notices of exercise related to
warrants for 459,048 shares of common stock; 171,478 shares of common stock were
issued in cashless exercises. We made no general solicitation and we believe
that the issuance of the shares met the standards for purchases under an
exemption for a non-public offering.
During
the third quarter of 2008, the Company received a notice of exercise related to
an option for 100,000 shares of common stock; 100,000 shares of common stock
were issued for a cash payment of $40,000. We made no general
solicitation and we believe that the issuance of the shares met the standards
for purchases under an exemption for a non-public offering.
