TOMOTHERAPY INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
(unaudited)
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of TomoTherapy
Incorporated have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2007.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated May 8, 2007.
NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
TomoTherapy Incorporated, a Wisconsin corporation, (the Company) developed, markets and sells
the TomoTherapy Hi Art system (the System), a radiation therapy system for the treatment of a wide
variety of cancers. The Company markets the System to hospitals and cancer treatment centers.
Initial Public Offering
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) of
common stock in which a total of 13,504,933 shares were sold at an issuance price of $19.00 per
share. This included 2,901,973 shares sold by selling stockholders, 1,761,513 of which were
purchased by the underwriters exercise of their overallotment option. The Company raised a total
of $201.5 million in gross proceeds from the IPO, or approximately $184.7 million in net proceeds
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $14.1 million and estimated other
offering costs of approximately $2.7 million. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of redeemable
convertible preferred stock outstanding automatically converted into 25,676,856 shares of common
stock and the remaining 10,039 of preferred stock warrants outstanding converted into options to
purchase common stock.
A summary of the Companys significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements follows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include those of TomoTherapy Incorporated and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
6
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily consist of time deposits with banks. The
balance in the Companys foreign cash accounts was $0.6 million and $0.1 million at September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Interest income, included as a component of other income (expense), net, was $2.4 million and
$3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $0.4 million
and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of these assets and liabilities
approximate their respective fair values as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Foreign Currency
The Companys international subsidiaries use their local currencies as their functional
currencies. For those subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates during
the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly to accumulated other
comprehensive loss within the statement of shareholders equity (deficit). Foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are included as a component of other income (expense), net. Foreign
currency gains were $0.4 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Foreign currency transaction gains were $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006
and foreign currency transaction losses were $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006.
Inventories
Components of inventory include raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Finished
goods include in-transit systems that have been shipped to the Companys customers, but are not yet
installed and accepted by the customer. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market,
cost determined by the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The Company reduces the carrying value of
its inventories for differences between the cost and estimated net realizable value, taking into
consideration usage in the preceding twelve months, expected demand, technological obsolescence and
other information. The Company records as a charge to cost of revenue the amount required to reduce
the carrying value of inventory to net realizable value. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, the Company had an inventory reserve of $9.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Costs
associated with the procurement and warehousing of inventories, such as inbound freight charges and
purchasing and receiving costs, are also included in the cost of revenue line item within the
statements of operations.

Stock Split
All common and preferred stock amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a
1.36-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend effective on May 8, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized from system product sales, including sales to distributors, and related
services when earned in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB No. 104,
Revenue
Recognition
, and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21,
Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables.
Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are met:
|
|
|
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
The Company requires evidence of a purchase
order with a customer specifying the terms and conditions of the product or services to be
delivered, typically in the form of a signed quotation or purchase order from the customer.
|
|
|
|
|
Title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer.
During the installation
phase, each System is fully tested to confirm that it functions within operating
specifications. Upon completion of the test procedures, the customer signs the acceptance
test procedures document, or ATP, acknowledging acceptance of the system. Revenue for the
sale of systems is recognized upon receipt of the signed ATP.
|
|
|
|
|
The sales price is fixed or determinable.
All contract terms are fixed in the signed
quotation or purchase order received from the customer. The contracts do not contain rights
of cancellation, return, exchanges or refunds.
|
|
|
|
|
Collection is reasonably assured.
Due to the fact that the Companys sales are to
hospitals and cancer treatment centers with significant resources, the Company considers
accounts receivable to be fully collectible. In addition, the Companys contracts generally
require staged payments as follows: 10% to 30% down payment, 60% to 70% due upon shipment
and 10% to 20% due upon final acceptance by the customer.

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS
No. 123(R)), which revised SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
, and supersedes
APB No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and employee stock purchase
plans, to be measured at fair value and expensed in the condensed consolidated statement of
operations over
the service period (generally the vesting period) of the grant. Upon adoption, the Company
transitioned to SFAS No. 123(R) using the prospective transition method, under which only new
awards (or awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date) are accounted for
under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and expense is only recognized in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations beginning with the first period that SFAS No. 123(R) is
effective and continuing to be expensed thereafter. See Note F for further disclosure related to
SFAS No. 123(R). The table below summarizes the effect of recording share-based compensation
expense under SFAS No. 123(R), which is allocated as follows (in thousands):

Equity Incentive Plan and 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007, 34,440 and 97,440 options, respectively, to purchase common stock
were granted under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The ESPP is deemed compensatory and compensation
costs are accounted for under SFAS 123(R). Refer to Note E for further discussion.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted-average number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the
period. Dilutive shares outstanding are calculated by adding to the weighted shares outstanding
any common stock equivalents from redeemable preferred stock, performance shares, outstanding
stock options and warrants based on the treasury stock method.
Basic net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per share is computed by dividing
net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common
shareholders per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common
shareholders by adding to the weighted shares outstanding any common stock equivalents from
redeemable preferred stock, performance shares, outstanding stock options and warrants based on the
treasury stock method. Diluted net loss attributable to common shareholders per share is the same
as basic net loss attributable to common shareholders per share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006 since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. The
number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share

Pro forma net income per share calculations assume conversion of preferred stock, contingent
common shares, outstanding stock options and warrants. The assumed conversion of preferred stock
and contingent common shares are weighted based on an IPO date of May 8, 2007 as if converted. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, preferred stock and contingent common shares are weighted
assuming the shares were outstanding for 128 days. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006, preferred stock and contingent common shares are weighted assuming the shares were
outstanding for the 92 days and 273 days, respectively. Conversion of options and warrants shall be
assumed at the beginning of such periods or at the time of issuance, if later. Per share amounts
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in thousands,
except per share amounts):

Change in Accounting Principle
On June 29, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position 150-5,
Issuers Accounting under FASB
Statement No. 150
(SFAS 150) for Freestanding Warrants and Other Similar Instruments on Shares That
Are Redeemable (FSP 150-5). FSP 150-5 requires the Company to classify its outstanding preferred
stock warrants as liabilities on its balance sheet and record adjustments to the value of its
preferred stock warrants in its statements of operations to reflect their fair value at each
reporting period. The Company adopted FSP 150-5 and accounted for the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2006. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006, the impact of the change in accounting principle was to decrease net income by $0.9
million and $3.2 million, respectively. The impact consisted of a $2.1 million cumulative effect
adjustment for the change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2006, when the Company adopted
FSP 150-5, and $0.9 million and $1.1 million of expense that was recorded in other income
(expense), net, to reflect the increase in fair value of the warrants for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006,
respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded
zero and $0.1 million, respectively, as an expense in other income (expense), net, for the increase
in fair market value of the warrants.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48
, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with
SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 and it did not have a
material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements (See Note C).
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS. 157
). This
Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This
Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. The Board has previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value
is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair
value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 in 2008 to have a material impact on its results of operations
or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities
(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair value some
financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at
fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items will be required to be reported
in earnings in the current period. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing
the effect of implementing this guidance, which directly depends on the nature and extent of
eligible items elected to be measured at fair value, upon initial application of the standard on
January 1, 2008.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 07-03,
Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and
Development Activities
. The EITF requires non-refundable advance payments to acquire goods or pay
for service that will be consumed or performed in a future period in conducting research and
development activities should be recorded as an asset and recognized as expense when the R&D
activities are performed. The EITF should be applied prospectively to new contractual arrangements
which begin in January 2008. The Company currently recognize these non-refundable advanced payments
as an asset and expense over the term of the commitment. The adoption of EITF 07-03 is not expected
to have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the Company was 36% for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded an income tax provision of
$0.1 million and a deferred tax benefit of $5.5 million as the Company anticipated this portion of
the deferred tax assets were more likely than not to become recoverable as a result of historical
and forecasted earnings.
The valuation allowance as of September 30, 2007 of $1.3 million relates primarily to state
net operating loss carryforwards and state research tax credits for which the Company believes
realization is uncertain.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes
, on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5,
Accounting for Contingencies
. As
required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies Statement 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
, the
Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that
the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For
tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial
statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied
Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The
amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007, was $1.8 million which, if
ultimately recognized, will reduce the Companys annual effective tax rate. The unrecognized
tax benefits relate to federal and state research tax credits. There have been no material changes
in unrecognized tax benefits since January 1, 2007.
The Companys practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters
in income tax expense. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties on the Companys
balance sheets at December 31, 2006 or at September 30, 2007, and has not recognized any interest
or penalties in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foregin jurisdictions.
All of the Companys tax years are subject to examination by the U.S., state and foreign tax
authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses and research and development
credits.
NOTE D COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject from time to time to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to
patents, product and other matters. The Company assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or
outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the
amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies are made after careful analysis of
each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in
each situation or changes in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.
The Company leases four facilities under operating leases: its corporate office space lease
that expires in 2014 includes four, five-year renewal options; additional office space under a
lease that expires in 2014; a manufacturing facility under a lease that expires in 2018; and office
space in Brussels, Belgium under a lease that expires in 2014. The last three leases were all
entered into during 2006. The Company is required to pay maintenance, taxes, utilities and
insurance on all the facilities. The Company also leases automobiles under operating leases. Rent
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.6 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006, respectively.
NOTE E TEMPORARY EQUITY AND SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Prior to the IPO, the Company issued various classes of preferred stock. The holders of Series
A, B, C and D preferred stock had the option to put their shares back to the Company at the greater
of the original purchase price plus accrued dividends, or the current fair market value of the
shares. The holders of Series E preferred stock had the option to put their shares back to the
Company at the original purchase price plus accrued dividends. As a result, the carrying value of
the preferred stock was increased by an accretion each period so that the carrying amounts equaled
the greater of fair value or the defined redemption value for the Series A, B, C and D preferred
stock. The Series E preferred stock was increased to its redemption value, including accrued
dividends. The accreted amounts were recorded to accumulated deficit. The put option and the
related accretion of the preferred shares terminated upon the
14
closing of the IPO. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, an accretion charge of $237.6 million was recorded based on
independent third-party valuation reports as of March 31, 2007 and the IPO price at May 8, 2007.
The valuation report was prepared utilizing the probability weighted expected return method as
prescribed by the AICPA Practice Aid
Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued
as Compensation.
This valuation took into consideration the following scenarios: (i) completion of
an IPO; (ii) sale to a strategic acquirer; and (iii) remaining private. The valuation amounts
determined under each scenario were then probability weighted based upon managements best
estimates of the occurrence of each scenario. The resulting value was then allocated to the
Companys common and each series of preferred stock based upon the economic impact of the
conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the preferred stock.
Warrants
At December 31, 2006, the Company had 307,088 and 158,566 warrants outstanding for the
purchase of the Companys Series A and D preferred stock at a price per share of $0.82 and $1.84,
respectively. Upon the closing of the IPO on May 8, 2007, the option to put the warrants back to
the Company no longer existed and the outstanding Series D warrants became options to purchase
common stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share. At September 30, 2007, the Company had 7,222
warrants outstanding.
As discussed in Note A, in 2006, the Company adopted FSP 150-5 resulting in the
reclassification of the carrying value of the preferred stock warrants as a liability and began
recording the warrants at fair value at each reporting period with any increase or
decrease in fair value reported in other income (expense), net. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported an expense of zero and $0.1 million, respectively,
for the increased valuation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company
reported an expense of $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the increased valuations.
The Company selected the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of its
warrants. The determination of the fair value using this model will be affected by assumptions
regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The assumptions used in the Companys
Black-Scholes calculation for Series A and D warrants at September 30, 2006 were: (i) fair value
per share of $11.38 and $9.25, respectively; (ii) expected term of approximately 0.5 years and 2.5
years, respectively; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 5.0% and 4.6%, respectively; (iv) expected
volatility of 46% and 46%, respectively; and (v) no expected dividend yield. The assumptions used
in the Companys Black-Scholes calculation for Series D warrants at May 8, 2007 were: (i) fair
value per share of $19.00; (ii) expected term of approximately two years; (iii) risk-free interest
rate of 4.9%; (iv) expected volatility of 43%; and (v) no expected dividend yield.
Contingent Common Shares
In addition to the conversion features, the Series A Investment Agreement contained a
contingent provision that entitled the Companys founders and the holders of the Series A preferred
stock to receive one share of the Companys common stock for each 2.86 shares of Series A preferred
stock held for a total of 1,288,669 shares of common stock. The other half of the contingent shares
were to be issued based upon the price per share to be received by the holders of Series A
preferred stock in such sale or IPO. In February 2007, in accordance with the terms of the Series A
Investment Agreement, the Companys Board of Directors allocated one-half of these contingent
shares of common stock to holders of Series A preferred stock based upon the fact that a sale or
IPO did not occur prior to seven years from the Series A issuance date and one-half of these
contingent shares of common stock to our founders based upon the Companys belief that the
anticipated IPO price was greater than eight times the original Series A offering price in 1999.
The Company has accounted for the contingent common shares based upon analogy to the guidance
provided by Issue 2 of EITF 00-27,
Application of Issue No 98-5 to Certain Convertible
Instruments.
The Company believes the contingent common share feature is an embedded,
non-detachable feature of the Series A preferred stock and has similar economic characteristics to
an embedded conversion option as addressed in EITF 00-27. The conditional obligation to redeem the
instrument by transferring assets was approved by the Board of Directors on February 6, 2007 and
the Company recognized a charge to retained earnings and an increase to additional paid-in-capital
of $0.1 million.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2007, in connection with the Companys IPO, the Board of Directors approved the 2007
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Under the ESPP, the Company is authorized to issue up to
400,000 shares of common stock. Qualified employees may purchase shares of common stock through
payroll deductions at a price per share that is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our
common stock as of the beginning of an applicable offering period or the applicable purchase date,
with purchases generally occurring every twelve months. Employees payroll deductions may not
exceed 10% of their compensation. Employees may purchase any number of shares per period provided
that the value of the shares purchased in any calendar year may not exceed $25,000, as calculated
pursuant to the purchase plan.
15
The ESPP was initiated during the second quarter of 2007. As of September 30, 2007, there was
$0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP, which is expected to be
recognized over a period of approximately two months. The fair value of ESPP shares was $3.98 per
share. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded $154,000 and
$248,000 in share-based compensation expense related to these ESPP shares.
NOTE F STOCK OPTIONS
The Company sponsors four stock option plans (the Plans), which allow for the grant of
incentive and nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common stock. Each option entitles the
holder to purchase one share of common stock at the specified option price. The exercise price of
each incentive stock option granted must not be less than the fair market value on the grant date.
The option term is six to ten years. Options vest over three to four years. In 2007, in connection
with the Companys IPO, the Board of Directors approved the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2007
Plan). Under the 2007 Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to award stock-based grants to
employees, directors, and consultants for up to 2,302,488 shares. As of September 30, 2007, the
other three plans remain in effect along with the 2007 Plan; however, options can no longer be
granted from these plans.
The following table summarizes information with respect to the Companys Plans:

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, which is computed
based on the difference between the exercise price and the Companys closing common stock price of
$23.23 as of September 30, 2007 and which would have been received by the option holders had all
option holders exercised their options as of that date.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to value stock options. The Company used
historical stock prices of companies which it considered as a peer group as the basis for its
volatility assumptions. The assumed risk-free rates were based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at
the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected option lives. The Company employed the
plain-vanilla method of estimating the expected term of the options as prescribed by SAB 107 as the
Company did not have significant historical experience. The forfeiture rate is based on past
history of forfeited options. The expense is being allocated using the straight-line method. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $2.3
million, respectively, of stock compensation expense. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006, the Company recorded $33,000 and $46,000, respectively, of stock compensation expense. As
of September 30, 2007, the Company had $9.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to non-vested awards granted under the Companys stock based plans that it expects to recognize
over a weighted-average period of 3.08 years. Under the prospective method of adoption of SFAS No.
123(R), the Company continues to account for options issued prior to January 1, 2006 under the
intrinsic value method of APB 25.
The fair value of each option grant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the
assumption ranges below:

Overview
TomoTherapy Incorporated, a Wisconsin corporation (the Company), developed, markets and
sells the TomoTherapy Hi Art system (the System), a radiation therapy system for the treatment of a
wide variety of cancers. We market the System to hospitals and cancer treatment centers.
We obtained 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the
Hi Art system in January 2002. We installed the first Hi Art system and the first patient was
treated in 2003. Since receiving the initial clearance to market the Hi Art system in the United
States, we have expanded our regulatory clearances to include Canada (2003), Japan (2004) and the
European Union (2005). We have also received marketing clearance in Australia, Singapore, South
Korea and Taiwan. During 2003 and 2004, we focused our sales and marketing efforts primarily in
North America. Beginning in 2005, we expanded our sales and marketing efforts to include markets in
Western Europe and Asia. In April 2006, we opened a European office in Brussels, Belgium, which
includes sales, service and call center operations. We also expanded our Asian distributor network,
adding distributors in India and China. We now have six distributors in Asia. In July 2006, we
expanded our manufacturing operations into a 64,000 square foot facility in Madison, Wisconsin.
Financial Operations
Revenue
A significant portion of our revenue is generated from sales of the Hi Art system. We
negotiate the actual purchase price with each customer and, historically, the purchase price has
varied significantly. Generally, our international pricing has been higher than our domestic
pricing.
18
We recognize revenue from sales of the Hi Art system, including sales to distributors which
have not been certified, when:
|
|
|
there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
|
|
|
|
|
the title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, as evidenced by the
customers signature on our acceptance test procedure document;
|
|
|
|
|
the sales price is fixed or determinable; and
|
|
|
|
|
collection is reasonably assured.
|
Our sales price includes a warranty covering replacement components and service for a one-year
period. We record a reserve to cost of revenue at the time of revenue recognition for the expected
cost of warranty claims based on our historical experience.
The balance of our revenue is generated from post-warranty service contracts, billable service
parts and other hardware and software options purchased by our end customers. Our post-warranty
service contracts may be purchased with one-year or multiple-year terms, giving our customers the
option to contract for the level of equipment support they require. See Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates Revenue Recognition.
Customer concentration.
One customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the three
months ended Sepember 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007
and 2006, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.

Distributor sales.
In certain Asian countries, we sell the Hi Art system through distributors,
who, in turn, sell the system directly to end customers. Our standard distributor agreement
requires us to assist the distributor with the first several installations of Hi Art systems within
that distributors region. Following these initial installations, the distributor is obligated to
perform all post-shipment services required under the purchase agreement, including installation,
testing, training and post-installation warranty service. Distributors do not have a contractual
right of return if the sale to an end customer is not completed. We have developed a certification
procedure to ensure distributors can fulfill these obligations, which includes an evaluation of the
distributors financial stability. Upon completion of our certification program, the certified
distributor is deemed by us to be qualified to install and service the Hi Art system and our
personnel are no longer involved in the installation or acceptance test procedures. During the
fourth quarter of 2006, our Japanese distributor became the first distributor to achieve
certification. During the second quarter of 2007, our distributor in Taiwan achieved certification.
Prior to a distributor achieving certification, we recognize revenue upon receipt of the signed
acceptance procedure document from the end customer. After certification, we recognize revenue upon
shipment to the distributor.
Sales agents.
In Europe, we use sales agents to identify potential end customers and assist
our sales and marketing personnel with negotiations and closing sales of the Hi Art system to end
customers. Our standard sales agent agreement provides for payment of our sales agents on a
commission basis.
Backlog
We define backlog as the total contractual value of all firm orders received for the Hi Art
system and optional related products. Such orders must be evidenced by a signed quotation or
purchase order from the customer, including the required down payment, if
any. Backlog does not include any contingent orders received, such as those orders requiring
board approvals or subject to financing. As of September 30, 2007, our backlog was approximately
$228 million.
19
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue consists of material, labor and overhead costs incurred in the manufacture of
the Hi Art system. It also includes the cost of shipping the system to the customer site,
installation costs, a warranty accrual and a royalty payment to WARF. A significant component of
cost of revenue is the customer support and service infrastructure required to service and repair
the equipment during the warranty period and thereafter, when covered by a service contract. The
cost of replacement parts makes up a significant portion of repair costs.
In future periods, we expect our cost of revenue to decrease as a percentage of total revenue
due to improved absorption of manufacturing overhead costs, improved leveraging of our service
infrastructure and reduced material costs associated with increased volumes. We also plan to
introduce several component design changes that should result in lower costs and higher reliability
than our current components.
Most of our existing service contracts currently have negative gross profit margins. We
recorded a reserve for the estimated losses on these service contracts. We expect to narrow these
negative margins and begin to generate positive margins over time by leveraging our fixed service
infrastructure costs over a larger installed base; by adjusting the price for several of our annual
service contracts; by improved training of our field service engineers; and by placing a larger
number of systems in each engineers territory. Finally, we believe that the introduction of
several component design changes should improve system performance which should in turn reduce our
service costs.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefits for research and
development personnel. Research and development also includes expenses associated with product
design and development, customer research collaborations and third parties who furnish services
related to these activities.
We expect research and development expenses will continue to increase in the next 12 months as
we increase the total number of employees performing research and development activities and fund
the research agreement with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salary and benefits for executive
management, sales, marketing and other corporate functions. Also included in these expenses are
travel, sales commissions, promotional and marketing materials and expenses related to accounting,
legal, tax and other consulting fees.
We expect selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the next
12 months as we add resources to meet the requirements of a public company, increase the total
number of employees and incur additional costs related to the overall growth of our business.
Other income (expense), net
Other income is primarily interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Other
expense is primarily the expense related to the increase in fair value of the convertible preferred
stock warrant liability, banking fees related to standby letters of credit required to support some
of our international orders and interest expense on borrowings. This category also includes foreign
currency transaction gains and losses on customer deposits made on sales contracts denominated in
Euros, Swiss francs and Canadian dollars. We currently do not hedge these foreign currency
contracts as most of our sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Key Factors Affecting our Performance
Our business, financial position and results of operations, as well as the period-to-period
comparability of our financial results, are significantly affected by a number of factors, some of
which are beyond our control, including the following:
Extended sales cycle and fluctuations.
The Hi Art system has a lengthy sales cycle, with the
time from initial customer contact to execution of a purchase order generally lasting up to one
year or more. Following execution of a contract, it may take several months for a customer to
renovate a facility to house the Hi Art system and between nine and twelve months for new bunker
construction.
Upon delivery of the Hi Art system, it generally takes three to four weeks to complete the
installation and testing of the system, including the completion of acceptance test procedures with
the customer. With the exception of our distributors in Japan and Taiwan, we recognize revenue from
the sale of the Hi Art system upon receipt of a signed acceptance test procedure document from the
customer. We recognize sales of the Hi Art system upon shipment to our distributors
in Japan and Taiwan pursuant to our distributor
20
certification program. Due to the high unit price of the Hi Art
system and the relatively small number of units installed each quarter, each installation
represents a significant component of our revenue for a particular period. Therefore, if a small
number of customers defer installation of the Hi Art system for even a short time, recognition of a
significant amount of revenue may be deferred to a subsequent period. As a result of these factors,
our revenue could fluctuate significantly from period to period and may not represent an accurate
measure of the overall performance of our business. We believe that our quarterly results of
operations should be viewed in light of our backlog of orders, which provides a better measure at
any particular point in time of the long-term performance prospects of our business.
Customer mix and gross margins.
Our mix of customers impacts our average selling prices and
our gross margins:
|
|
|
Sales outside of the North America accounted for approximately 48% and 44% of our revenue
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Increased sales of the
Hi Art system outside of the United States have tended to impact our gross margins favorably
due to higher average selling prices in these markets. We intend to continue to expand our
international selling efforts although we cannot be certain that favorable pricing trends
will continue.
|
|
|
|
|
The majority of our sales to date have been to university research centers, hospitals and
cancer treatment centers that are early adopters of new technologies and that tend to
replace equipment regularly in order to upgrade their treatment capabilities. Our sales
strategy includes increasing sales to community hospitals and smaller treatment centers,
which have traditionally been slower in their adoption of new technologies primarily due to
cost-based purchasing decisions. Our efforts to penetrate this market may require us to
lower the price of the Hi Art system. Similarly, we may be required to lower the price of
the Hi Art system in order to sell to national chains or large volume purchasers.
|
|
|
|
|
Our ability to demonstrate the clinical benefits of the Hi Art system compared to
competing systems is likely to be a factor in our ability to maintain the selling price of
the Hi Art system. We may need to demonstrate increased clinical benefits and offer
additional features in order to compete favorably with our competitors in the medium to long
term.
|
Component supply and cost.
Our gross margins have been impacted by higher component costs and
higher failure rates than we originally anticipated, resulting in increased warranty expense and
negative profit margins on many service contracts. We believe that these higher component costs and
failure rates resulted both from smaller initial production volumes and from our reliance on
sole-source suppliers for a number of key components. We are investing in developing alternate
components and in implementing enhancements to increase the performance of components currently
used in the Hi Art system. We will also seek to identify lower priced components of comparable and
improved performance and quality, as well as make engineering improvements to the Hi Art system in
order to reduce costs. We believe that achieving these goals should result in improved gross
margins in the long term.
Operating expenses.
We have significantly expanded our total number of employees over the last
three years from 171 at December 31, 2004, to 327 as of December 31, 2005, to 492 as of December
31, 2006 and to 618 as of September 30, 2007, due primarily to expansion of our research and
development, service and support and sales and marketing capabilities. Our operating expenses are
relatively fixed, consisting primarily of salaries, benefits and related overhead. Accordingly, we
cannot generally make significant adjustments in response to short-term fluctuations in quarterly
revenue. We also expect over time that our operating expenses will increase in absolute terms, but
decrease as a percentage of our total revenue as we leverage our existing infrastructure.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006
Revenue
Revenue increased from $37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $59.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $22.0 million or 59%. A
significant portion of this increase, $18.8 million, is due to higher product revenue which is
driven by the number of Hi Art systems accepted during the period. We received acceptances on 58%
more systems during the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2006.
Service and other revenue increased from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
2006 to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as 64% more systems were
covered under service contracts with us. Also contributing to the increase was $1.9 million of
revenue recognized on service parts sold to distributors during the three months ended September
30, 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, no service parts were sold to our
distributors. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in other optional
equipment and software sold to the installed base between the two periods.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased from $23.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to
$37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $13.5 million or 57%.
This increase was attributable to the number of systems accepted, number of systems under service
contract and the growth of our service infrastructure. Employee costs increased by approximately
$3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2006 as we added service personnel to support the growth of our global installed
base. We also incurred additional travel and logistics costs of $1.3 million due to a larger number
of installed systems. Gross margins were 37% and 36% for the three months ended September 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to increased
system acceptances coupled with relatively consistent average selling prices which resulted in
improved absorption of fixed manufacturing and service costs. Gross margins have also been
positively affected by higher margin service parts sold to our distributors.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses increased from $6.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of
$3.5 million or 56%. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.9 million in additional employee
costs due to an increase in the total number of employees engaged in research and development
activities from 132 at September 30, 2006 to 169 at September 30, 2007, as we continue to focus on
future product initiatives. We also incurred an additional $1.2 million in external consulting and
licensing agreements for new product research and development projects, including $1.0 million for
the research project with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. We also incurred an additional
$0.3 million for testing equipment and travel. As a percentage of revenue, total research and
development expenses were 16% and 17% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
22
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $5.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an
increase of $5.2 million or 88%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.8 million in
employee costs as the total number of employees engaged in selling, general and administrative
activities increased from 102 at September 30, 2006 to 138 at September 30, 2007, due to the
expansion of our business. In addition, we incurred an additional $0.8 million for outside
services, including consulting, insurance, legal, secondary offering costs, tax and audit fees due
to the increased complexity of our business. Commission expense increased approximately $1.8
million based on higher sales volumes and higher commission rates. We also incurred an additional
$0.3 million in travel expenses due to higher sales. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general
and administrative expenses were 19% and 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
As of January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), which requires us to expense the fair value
of employee stock options. We adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
using the prospective method. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded
$0.8 million and $46,000 of stock compensation expense, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, we
had $9.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under
our stock based plans that it expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.08 years.
Other income (expense), net
We had other expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and other
income of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the three months ended
September 30, 2007, we recorded interest income of $2.4 million and foreign currency gains (net of
foreign currency losses) of $0.4 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we
recorded interest income of $0.4 million and $0.2 million of foreign currency transaction gains
(net of foreign currency transaction losses). We incurred foreign currency transaction gains on
open accounts receivable balances denominated in Euros which were largely offset by foreign
currency transaction losses on customer deposits denominated in Euros, on sales contracts and
deferred revenues on Hi Art systems which have not yet received customer acceptance. We have not
hedged these foreign currency contracts.
Income tax expense (benefit)
An income tax expense of $1.5 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30,
2007. Income tax benefit of $2.1 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30,
2006. The primary change was a reduction of the deferred tax valuation allowance in 2006.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
Revenue
Revenue increased from $96.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $154.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $57.6 million or 60%. A
significant portion of this increase, $48.2 million, is due to higher product revenue which is
driven by the number of Hi Art systems accepted during the period. We received acceptances on 42%
more systems during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. In addition, the average selling price increased by approximately 8% primarily
due to a higher number of international system acceptances. These systems were sold at a higher
average selling price and many were denominated in Euros, which also favorably impacted revenue due
to favorable exchange rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 29% of
our revenue was generated from European customers compared to 21% during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
Service and other revenue increased from $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 to $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as 64% more systems were
covered under service contracts with us. Also contributing to the increase was $3.7 million of
revenue recognized on service parts sold to distributors and $4.2 million of other optional
equipment and software sold to the installed base for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, no service parts were sold to distributors and we
recognized revenue on $2.5 million of other optional equipment and software sold to the installed
base.
23
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased from $65.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to
$95.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $29.8 million or 45%.
This increase was attributable to the number of systems accepted, the number of systems under
service contract and the growth of our service infrastructure. Employee costs increased by
approximately $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 as we added personnel to support the growth of our global installed
base. We also incurred additional travel and logistics costs of $2.9 million due to the higher
number of installed systems and additional service parts depots. Gross margins were 38% and 32% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in gross margins was
primarily due to a higher average selling price on system acceptances coupled with higher sales
volumes which resulted in improved absorption of our fixed manufacturing and service costs. Gross
margins have also been positively affected by higher margin service parts sold to our distributors
and other revenue sold into our installed base.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses increased from $14.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 to $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of
$10.4 million or 74 %. The increase was primarily attributable to $4.9 million in additional
employee costs due to an increase in the total number of employees engaged in research and
development activities from 132 at September 30, 2006 to 169 at September 30, 2007, as we work on
future product initiatives. We also incurred an additional $4.4 million in external consulting
expenses and licensing agreements for new product research and development projects and additional
product enhancements, including $3.0 million on our research project with Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory. We also incurred additional expense of $0.7 million for testing equipment and
travel. As a percentage of revenue, total research and development expenses were 16% and 15% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $14.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 to $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase
of $14.0 million or 94%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in employee
costs as the total number of employees engaged in selling, general and administrative activities
increased from 102 at September 30, 2006 to 138 at September 30, 2007, due to the expansion of our
business. In addition, we incurred a $2.4 million increase in sales commissions resulting from
increased sales and higher commission rates. Further, we incurred $1.9 million in costs for outside
services, including consulting, legal, secondary offering costs, tax and audit fees due to the
increased complexity of our business. In conjunction with our IPO, directors fees and D&O insurance
increased by approximately $0.3 million. We also incurred an additional $1.1 million in expense in
trade shows, meetings and travel related expenses. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 19% and 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
Stock-based compensation
As of January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), which requires us to expense the fair value
of employee stock options. We adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
using the prospective method. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded
$2.5 million and $46,000 of stock compensation expense, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, we
had $9.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under
our stock based plans that it expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.08 years.
Other income (expense), net
We had other expense of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and other
income of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, we recorded interest income of $3.8 million, foreign currency transaction gains
(net of foreign currency transaction losses) of $0.4 million, offset by interest expense of $0.1
million and $0.1 million in expense recorded for the increase in the value of the preferred stock
warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded interest income of $1.2
million, interest expense of $0.2 million, foreign currency transaction losses (net of foreign
currency transaction gains) of $1.0 million and $1.1 million in expense recorded for the increase
in value of the preferred stock warrants. We incurred foreign currency transaction losses on
customer deposits denominated in Euros, on sales contracts and deferred revenues on Hi Art systems
which have not yet received customer acceptance which was largely offset by open accounts
receivable balances also denominated in Euros. We have not hedged these foreign currency contracts.
24
Income tax expense (benefit)
An income tax expense of $3.2 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. Income tax benefit of $5.4 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The primary change was a reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance in 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In May 2007, we completed our IPO of common stock in which a total of 13,504,933 shares were
sold, including 2,901,973 shares sold by selling stockholders, at an issuance price of $19.00 per
share. We raised a total of $201.5 million in gross proceeds from the IPO, or approximately $184.7
million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $14.1 million and
estimated other offering costs of approximately $2.7 million. Upon the closing of the IPO, all
shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding automatically converted into
25,676,856 shares of common stock and the remaining 10,039 preferred stock warrants outstanding
converted into options to purchase common stock. Prior to our IPO, we funded our working capital
needs and our capital expenditure requirements using cash from sales of equity securities and from
our operations, including customer advance payments, and, to a lesser extent, through grants and
borrowings. Since our inception and up to our IPO, we had obtained financing of $43.2 million
primarily through private placements of equity securities and the exercise of employee stock
options.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating activities.
Net cash used in operating activities was $12.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This included net income of $5.8 million, non-cash
charges of $4.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.5 million of a deferred income tax
provision and $2.5 million of share-based compensation expense. Deferred rent and obligation to
landlord increased $0.9 million primarily due to a new operating lease for additional office space
which included a four-month rent holiday and reimbursable tenant improvements. Accounts receivable
increased by $19.8 million due to increased system sales and the timing of the billing events.
Inventory increased by $16.4 million due to inventory purchased to meet increased sales demand as
well as an increase in our world-wide service inventory depots. Also contributing to the increase
in inventory are more finished systems which are ready for shipment. Deferred revenues increased
$4.0 million mostly due to increased deferred service contract revenues as more of our customers
reached the end of their warranty period and elected to enter into service contracts. Customer
deposits increased $1.7 million due to a higher number of units in backlog from the end of last
year. Other current assets increased $1.0 million primarily due to an increase in the directors
and officers insurance premium after the IPO. Accounts payable decreased $0.8 million due to the
timing of payments on goods and services. Accrued expenses increased approximately $2.3 million
due employee related accruals as our headcount has increased 26% over the last nine months.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. This included net income of $3.9 million, non-cash reversal of $5.5 million of the deferred
tax valuation allowance, a non-cash charge of $3.2 million for the increase in fair value on the
convertible preferred stock warrant liability and depreciation and amortization of $2.0 million.
Cash used in operations was due to changes in our current assets and liabilities including an
increase in deferred revenue of $6.2 million, offset by a decrease in customer deposits of $6.2
million and an increase in inventory of $9.2 million. In addition, accounts payable increased by
approximately $3.8 million. The increase in deferred revenue resulted from more systems delivered
to customers that had not received customer acceptance notification at September 30, 2006 compared
to December 31, 2005. The decrease in customer deposits resulted from variations in the timing of
receipt of customer advance payments. Inventory increased significantly as we added more spare
parts depots around the world in order to better service our installed base of Hi Arts. The
increase in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of payments, increased purchases of
inventory and the overall growth of our business.
Cash flows from investing activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we used
net cash of $9.9 million to purchase capital equipment as we (1) finished the build-out and
additional test system for our new training centers, (2) implemented our new enterprise resource
planning system and (3) added computer equipment and software for new employees.
Net cash used in investing activities was $10.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2006, as we purchased capital equipment for (1) the build-out of our new leased manufacturing
facility, (2) the build-out of our European office in Brussels, Belgium and (3) computer equipment
and software for new employees.
Cash flows from financing activities.
Net cash from financing activities was $187.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We received net proceeds from our IPO of $184.7
million, net of issuance costs. Additionally, we received $2.0 million in proceeds from the
exercise of employee stock options and $0.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants.
25
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2006. We entered into loans with Madison Development Corporation for $0.4 million and Wisconsin
Department of Commerce for $0.5 million to help fund capital improvements to our new leased
manufacturing facility in Madison, Wisconsin.
Loans and Available Borrowings
We maintain an unsecured $30.0 million line of credit with a bank, which bears interest at the
London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.5% or at the prime rate plus 0.25% and is adjusted based on
the ratio of our total liabilities to tangible net worth. Among other requirements, the line of
credit contains several covenants, the primary ones being a requirement to maintain a backlog of at
least $60.0 million and tangible net worth of at least $17.0 million. We are in compliance with all
such covenants. There were no outstanding borrowings under the line for any of the periods.

The table of contractual obligations and commitments does not include royalty payments payable
to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation under a license agreement, dated February 22, 1999. The
amount of royalty payments is based on the number of units of the Hi Art system sold and therefore
cannot be determined accurately in advance. Our royalty expenses under the license agreement are
currently significantly in excess of minimum required payments and were $0.5 million in 2004, $0.7
million in 2005 and $1.3 million in 2006.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Our future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. These factors include, but are not
limited to, the following:
|
|
|
revenue generated by sales of the Hi Art system and service plans;
|
|
|
|
|
costs associated with our sales and marketing initiatives and manufacturing activities;
|
|
|
|
|
the level of investment needed in our service and support infrastructure;
|
|
|
|
|
costs of our research and development activities; and
|
|
|
|
|
effects of competing technological and market developments.
|
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, along with the cash we expect to
generate from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital
and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. If our estimates of revenue, expenses, or
capital or liquidity requirements change or are inaccurate, or if cash generated from operations is
insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or
arrange additional debt financing. In the future, we may also seek to sell additional equity or
arrange debt financing to give us financial flexibility to pursue attractive acquisition or
investment opportunities that may arise, although we currently do not have any acquisitions or
investments planned. We may also seek to sell additional equity or arrange debt financing to
provide us with additional financial flexibility if market opportunities exist.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2007, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item
303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on
our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial
statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates
and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other factors 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 could therefore differ materially from those estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
With respect to our policies on revenue recognition, inventories and warranty costs, our
historical experience is based principally on our operations since 2003 when we commenced selling
the Hi Art system. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please
refer to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of our Managements Discussion and
Analysis and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Form S-1
dated May 8, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no
material changes in any of our accounting policies since December 31, 2006.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements
in Current Year Financial Statements.
This statement indicates registrants should use both a
balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating materiality
of a misstatement. The interpretations in SAB No. 108 contain guidance on correcting errors under
the dual approach as well as provide transition guidance for correcting errors. This interpretation
does not change the requirements within SFAS No. 154 for the correction of an error in financial
statements. SAB No. 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year
ending after November 15, 2006. We adopted this interpretation in the fourth quarter of 2006 and it
did not have a material impact on our financial results.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48
, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes
an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with
FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
, and prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
We were required to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. At the adoption date,
we have applied FIN 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The
amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007, was $1.8 million which, if ultimately
recognized, will reduce our annual effective tax rate. There have been no material changes in
unrecognized tax benefits since January 1, 2007. The unrecognized tax benefits relate to federal
and state research tax credits.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157)
. This
Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This
Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. The Board has previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value
is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair
value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect
the adoption of SFAS No. 157 in 2008 to have a material impact on our results of operations or
financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities
(SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair
value some financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items will be required to
be reported in earnings in the current period. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS
No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are
currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance, which directly depends on the
nature and extent of eligible items elected to be measured at fair value, upon initial application
of the standard on January 1, 2008.
27
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 07-03,
Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and
Development Activities
. The EITF requires non-refundable advance payments to acquire goods or pay
for service that will be consumed or performed in a future period in conducting research and
development activities should be recorded as an asset and recognized as expense when the R&D
activities are performed. The EITF should be applied prospectively to new contractual arrangements
which begin in January 2008. We currently recognize these non-refundable advanced payments as an
asset and expense over the term of the commitment. The adoption of EITF 07-03 is not expected to
have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss related to changes in market prices, including interest rates
and foreign exchange rates, of financial instruments that may adversely impact our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Interest Rate Risk
Our investments consist primarily of investments in money market funds. While the instruments
we hold are subject to changes in the financial standing of the issuer of such securities, we do
not believe that we are subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that
affect market risk sensitive instruments. It is our policy not to enter into interest rate
derivative financial instruments. As a result, we do not currently have any significant interest
rate exposure.
The interest rate under our line of credit is subject to change based on the London Interbank
Offered Rate or the prime rate. We do not currently have any borrowings under our line of credit.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A significant portion of our sales and expenses historically have been denominated in U.S.
dollars. As a result, we have not experienced significant foreign exchange transaction gains or
losses to date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, 25%, 4% and 3% of our revenue was
from contracts denominated in Euros, Swiss Francs and Canadian dollars, respectively. During 2006,
we opened and staffed an office in Brussels, Belgium and began incurring Euro-denominated expenses,
which were paid directly from the U.S. We currently do not hedge our foreign currency since the
exposure has not been material to our historical operating results. To date, our Euro-denominated
sales orders have included high down payments, limiting the need to hedge the related currency
risk. Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of
the Hi Art system outside the United States. To the extent that we can predict the timing of
payments under these contracts, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate such risks in the
future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be
required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
As of September 30, 2007, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This quarterly report does not include a report of managements assessment regarding internal
control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for newly public companies.
28
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business. We believe there is no litigation pending that could, individually or in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only
ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently
deem less significant may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business
We depend on sales of the Hi Art system for substantially all of our revenue and if we are unable
to grow or sustain sales of the Hi Art system, we may not generate sufficient revenue to support
our business.
Our sole product is the Hi Art system, which we commenced marketing in 2003. We expect to generate
substantially all of our revenue for the foreseeable future from sales of the Hi Art system and
post-warranty service contracts for the Hi Art system. Accordingly, we are dependent on our ability
to market and sell the Hi Art system. Any factor materially adversely affecting our ability to
market and sell the Hi Art system or pricing and demand for the Hi Art system would have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The long sales cycle and high unit price of the Hi Art system, as well as other factors, may
contribute to substantial fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and stock price and make
it difficult to compare our results of operations to prior periods.
The Hi Art system is a major capital equipment item and has a lengthy sales cycle. Generally, the
time from initial customer contact to execution of a purchase order can be one year or more.
Following execution of a contract, it may take several additional months for a customer to retrofit
an existing radiation treatment room, or bunker, to house the Hi Art system and between nine and
twelve months if a new bunker must be constructed. Upon delivery of the Hi Art system to the
customers facility, it typically takes three to four weeks to complete the installation and
on-site testing of the system, including the completion of acceptance test procedures with the
customer. We recognize revenue from the sale of the Hi Art system upon receipt of a signed
acceptance test procedure report from the customer. Because of the high unit price of the Hi Art
system and the relatively small number of units installed each quarter, each installation currently
represents a significant component of our revenue for a particular quarter. If a small number of
customers defer installation of a Hi Art system for even a short period of time, recognition of a
significant amount of revenue may be deferred to a subsequent period. For example, the deferral of
a number of anticipated installations in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, resulted in revenue
of $14.1 million in that quarter compared to $29.6 million in the prior quarter and $21.9 million
in the subsequent quarter. Because our operating costs are relatively fixed, our inability to
recognize revenue in a particular quarter may adversely affect our profitability in that quarter.
As a result, the inability to recognize revenue in a particular quarter may make it difficult to
compare our quarterly operating results with prior periods. In addition, while we believe that our
backlog of orders provides a better measure at any particular point in time of the long-term
performance prospects of our business than our quarterly operating results, investors may attribute
significant weight to our quarterly operating results, which may result in substantial fluctuations
in our stock price.
We face competition from numerous competitors, many of whom have greater resources than we do,
which may make it more difficult for us to achieve significant market penetration.
The market for radiation therapy equipment is characterized by intense competition and pricing
pressure. We consider the competition for the Hi Art system to be existing radiation therapy
systems, primarily using C-arm linear accelerators. In particular, we compete
with a number of existing radiation therapy equipment companies including Varian Medical Systems,
Inc., Elekta AB, Siemens Medical Solutions, and, to a lesser extent, Accuray Incorporated and
BrainLAB AG. Varian Medical Systems has been the market leader for many years and has the majority
market share for radiation therapy systems worldwide. Most of our competitors are large,
29
well-capitalized companies with significantly greater market share and resources than we have. As a
result, these companies may be better positioned than we are to spend more aggressively on research
and development, marketing, sales and other product initiatives.
Our current competitors or other companies may at any time develop new products for the treatment
of tumors. If we are unable to develop products that compete effectively against the products of
existing or future competitors, our net revenue could decline. Some of our competitors may compete
by changing their pricing model or by lowering the price of their conventional radiation therapy
systems or ancillary supplies. If these competitors pricing techniques are effective, it could
result in downward pressure on the price of radiation therapy systems. If we are unable to maintain
or increase our selling prices in the face of competition, we may not improve our gross margins.
In addition to the competition that we face from technologies performing similar functions to the
Hi Art system, competition also exists for the limited capital expenditure budgets of our
customers. A potential purchaser may be forced to choose between two items of capital equipment.
Our ability to compete may also be adversely affected when purchase decisions are based largely
upon price, since the Hi Art system is a premium priced system due to its greater functionality
compared to traditional systems. If we are unable to market the Hi Art system more effectively than
competing products, which could be purchased as an alternative to the Hi Art system using the same
budget at comparable or lower prices, we may be unable to maintain our current growth rate.
Our reliance on single-source suppliers for critical components of the Hi Art system could harm our
ability to meet demand for our products in a timely and cost effective manner.
We currently depend on single-source suppliers for a number of critical components necessary for
the assembly of the Hi Art system, including the ring gantry, the linear accelerator, the couch,
the solid state modulator, the radiation detector and the magnetron. We purchase some of these
components from major industry suppliers. We do not have a long-term supply contract with the
supplier of the solid state modulator and the magnetron. An affiliate of one of our competitors,
Siemens Medical Solutions, Inc., is also our supplier for the linear accelerator used in the Hi Art
system. If the supply of any of these components were to be disrupted or terminated, or if these
suppliers were unable to supply the quantities of components that we require, we may have
difficulty or be unable to find alternative sources for these key components. As a result, we may
be unable to meet the demand for the Hi Art system, which could harm our ability to generate
revenue and damage our reputation. In addition, such a delay in components might cause us to have
insufficient spare parts to service existing installed systems, which may lead to customer
dissatisfaction. Some of our single-source suppliers have at times had material difficulties
maintaining an adequate supply of parts to meet our manufacturing and service demands.
We believe it will be necessary to find alternative manufacturers for key components of the Hi Art
system over time as our quantity and quality demands evolve, but we may experience a significant
delay in locating an alternative manufacturer. Furthermore, we will need to verify that any new
manufacturer meets our technical specifications and maintains facilities, procedures and operations
that comply with our quality requirements. We will also have to assess any new manufacturers
compliance with all applicable regulations and guidelines, which could further impede our ability
to manufacture our products in a timely manner. If the change in manufacturer results in a
significant change to the product, a new 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, or FDA, or similar foreign clearance may be necessary, which would likely cause
substantial delays. The occurrence of any of these events could harm our ability to meet the demand
for the Hi Art system in a timely manner or within budget.
Sales of the Hi Art system may be adversely affected if clinicians do not widely adopt IGRT and
adaptive radiotherapy, which is an emerging cancer treatment technique.
Our success in marketing the Hi Art system depends in part on persuading clinicians and patients of
the benefits of adaptive radiation therapy. Image guided radiation therapy, or IGRT, is an emerging
cancer treatment technique which involves delivering intensity modulated radiation therapy, or
IMRT, guided by images of the treatment area taken shortly before treatment, using CT, x-ray,
ultrasound or other imaging technologies. IMRT is a widely accepted technique, which involves
varying, or modulating, the intensity of the radiation beam across a targeted treatment area.
Adaptive radiation therapy involves adjusting a patients radiation therapy plan between treatment
sessions to account for changes in the patients anatomy, the amount and location of the radiation
received by the patient, and the size, shape and location of the tumor. In particular, we believe
that adaptive radiation therapy requires, and we have designed the Hi Art system to enable,
continual adjustments to a patients treatment plan throughout the entire course of treatment,
facilitated by both the regular acquisition of updated quantitative images showing the location,
geometry and density of the tumor, as
well as the verification of the actual radiation dose received by the patient. Since IGRT and
adaptive radiation therapy are still in the early stages of emergence and implementation, increased
sales of the Hi Art system depend, in part, on widespread adoption of these techniques by
clinicians. Widespread adoption of IGRT and adaptive radiation therapy depends on many factors,
including some that
30
are outside of our control. These factors include acceptance by clinicians that
IGRT and adaptive radiation therapy are clinically effective and cost effective in treating a wide
range of tumors, demand by patients for such treatment, successful education of clinicians on the
various aspects of these techniques and adequate reimbursement for procedures performed using
adaptive radiation therapy. If widespread market acceptance of IGRT and adaptive radiation therapy
do not occur, or do not occur as rapidly as we anticipate, sales of the Hi Art system may be
adversely affected and our revenue may decline or fail to grow at its current rate.
We may be delayed or prevented from implementing our long-term sales strategy if we fail to educate
clinicians and patients about the benefits of the Hi Art system and to implement enhancements to
the system in a timely manner.
We believe that sales of the Hi Art system to date have been principally to those hospitals and
cancer treatment centers that are most open to the adoption of new technologies. In order to expand
our sales, we must raise awareness of the range of benefits that we believe the Hi Art system
offers to both existing and potential customers, and their patients. An important part of our sales
strategy involves educating and training clinicians to utilize the entire functionality of the Hi
Art system. In particular, most clinicians are currently unfamiliar with techniques which involve
using the full quantitative imaging capabilities of the Hi Art system, which enables clinicians to
adapt a patients treatment plan in response to anatomical changes and the cumulative amount of
radiation received by specific areas within the patient over the course of treatment. In addition,
we must further educate clinicians about the ability of the Hi Art system to treat a wide range of
cancer types effectively and efficiently. If clinicians are not properly educated about the use of
the Hi Art system for adaptive radiation therapy, they may be unwilling or unable to take advantage
of the full range of functionality that we believe the Hi Art system offers, which could have an
adverse effect on our product sales.
In determining whether to purchase a single Hi Art system or whether to purchase multiple Hi Art
systems, we understand that clinicians may weigh the benefits that the Hi Art system offers their
patients, especially those with tumors typically treated using less sophisticated equipment,
against the additional time required to implement the Hi Art systems image guided treatment
functionality and the higher cost of the Hi Art system when compared to systems with less
functionality. Customers or potential customers may decide that certain tumors can be adequately
treated using traditional radiation therapy systems, notwithstanding the greater precision and
functionality enabled by the Hi Art system. These considerations may be particularly relevant to
cancer treatment centers that only have space for a single radiation therapy system. In order to
increase sales of the Hi Art system to these customers, we must succeed in implementing
enhancements to the Hi Art system to improve speed and patient throughput in order to render the
time differentials between certain procedures performed using the Hi Art system and those performed
using competitive systems insignificant. We must also succeed in educating clinicians about the
potential for cost effective reimbursement for procedures performed using the Hi Art system. In
addition, we must raise awareness of the Hi Art system among potential patients, who are
increasingly educated about cancer treatment options and therefore drive adoption of new
technologies by clinicians. Our efforts to expand sales of the Hi Art system in the long-term may
be adversely affected if we fail in implementing these strategies.
Our ability to increase our profitability depends in part on maintaining our average selling prices
and increasing our gross margins, which we may not be able to achieve.
Our gross margin was 38.2% in 2004, 33.9% in 2005, 34.2% in 2006 and 37.9% in the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. Our gross margins fluctuated from period to period due in part to higher
component costs and failure rates than we originally anticipated, resulting in increased warranty
expense and negative profit margins on most of our existing service contracts for the Hi Art
system. We are making investments in developing alternate components, implementing enhancements to
increase the performance of components currently used in the Hi Art system and seeking to identify
lower priced components of comparable or improved performance and quality. If we are unable to
reduce our expenses through these initiatives and maintain competitive pricing of service
contracts, our profitability may not improve or may be adversely affected.
In addition, a number of factors may result in lower average selling prices for the Hi Art system,
which may impact our gross margins. In response to increased competition from the Hi Art system,
our competitors may reduce the prices of their systems, which may, in turn, result in downward
pressure on the price of radiation therapy systems, including the Hi Art system. We also seek to
sell the Hi Art system to customers that place orders for multiple systems; however, such sales may
result in pressure to provide volume discounts. In addition, we may be exposed to pricing pressures
as we expand our sales within specific regions. Any one or combination of these and other factors
could result in lower gross margins and adversely affect our profitability.
31
If we are unable to maintain existing research collaboration relationships, enter into new
collaboration arrangements in the future or enter into license agreements with our collaborators
and others, our ability to enhance the Hi Art system may be adversely affected.
To date, we have entered into research collaboration arrangements with over 25 hospitals, cancer
treatment centers and academic institutions, and a national laboratory. These research
collaborations support our internal research and development capabilities and represent a key
element of our on-going research and development program. Among other things, our current
collaborations supplement initiatives to more fully automate the treatment and adaptive therapy
processes enabled by the Hi Art system, as well as initiatives to accommodate real-time patient
movements during treatment. Our research collaboration partners may not fulfill all of their
obligations under our arrangements with them. If our current research collaborations do not meet
our research and development expectations, or if we are unable to enter into additional research
collaborations in the future to replace unproductive collaborations or add new collaborations, our
ability to enhance the Hi Art system may be adversely affected. In addition, we may also face
significant competition in seeking third-party collaborators and may be unable to find third
parties with whom to pursue research collaborations on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. Our
inability to successfully collaborate with third parties would increase our development costs,
delay new or pending developments and could limit the likelihood of successful enhancements to the
Hi Art system.
Our collaboration agreements generally provide that we either own, in the case of our own
developments, have the right to use, in the case of joint developments, or have the right to
license, in the case of developments by our collaborator, technology developed pursuant to a
collaboration. We cannot provide any assurance that we will successfully enter into license
agreements with any of our collaborators concerning technology that is jointly developed or
developed by the collaborator. If we are unable to enter into exclusive license agreements with a
collaborator over technology that is jointly developed with, or solely developed by, the
collaborator, the collaborator may be able to use or license the technology to third parties.
Furthermore, if we are unable to enter into license agreements with a collaborator for technology
that is jointly developed with, or solely developed by, the collaborator, we may be unable to use
that technology. In addition, if we are unable to agree with our collaborators concerning ownership
or proper inventorship of technology developed under the collaboration agreement, we may be forced
to engage in arbitration or litigation to determine the proper ownership or inventorship.
We continue to invest in developing technology that we may wish to incorporate into future Hi Art
systems in order to improve our product offering and keep pace with our competition. We may need to
license such technology from third parties, but there can be no assurance that such licenses will
be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
We rely on a third party to perform spare parts shipping and other logistics functions on our
behalf. A failure or disruption at our logistics providers would adversely impact our business.
Customer service is a critical element of our sales strategy. In particular, Kuehne + Nagel Inc.
stores almost all of our spare parts inventory in depots around the world and performs a
significant portion of our spare parts logistics and shipping activities. We may utilize additional
logistics service providers in connection with the expansion of our international sales. If Kuehne
+ Nagel suffers an interruption in its business, or experiences delays, disruptions or quality
control problems in its operations, or we have to change and qualify an alternative logistics
provider, shipments of spare parts to our customers may be delayed and our reputation and results
of operations may be adversely affected.
If third-party payors do not continue to provide sufficient coverage and reimbursement to
healthcare providers for use of the Hi Art system, sales of the Hi Art system may be adversely
affected.
Our ability to market and sell the Hi Art system successfully depends in part on the extent to
which sufficient reimbursement for treatment procedures using the Hi Art system will be available
from third-party payors such as private health insurance plans and health maintenance organizations
and, to a lesser degree, government payor programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Third-party
payors, and in particular managed care organizations, are continuously challenging the prices
charged for medical products and services and instituting cost containment measures to control or
significantly influence the purchase of medical products and services. These cost containment
measures, if instituted in a manner affecting the coverage of, or reimbursement for, treatment
procedures performed using the Hi Art system, could discourage cancer treatment centers and
hospitals from purchasing the Hi Art system.
Treatment procedures performed using the Hi Art system are currently covered and reimbursed at
acceptable rates by third-party payors. However, we cannot provide any assurance that third-party
payors will continue to reimburse these procedures at current rates or will continue to consider
these procedures to be cost-effective compared to other treatments. Clinicians may be reluctant to
purchase the Hi Art system or may decline to do so entirely if they determine there is insufficient
coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for the cost of procedures performed using the
Hi Art system, which could have an adverse impact on our sales.
In the United States, reimbursement for services rendered to Medicaid beneficiaries is determined
pursuant to each states Medicaid plan, which is established by state law and regulations and is
subject to the requirements of federal laws and regulations. The Balanced
32
Budget Act of 1997
revised the Medicaid program to provide each state more control over coverage and payment matters.
In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has granted many states waivers to
allow for greater control of the Medicaid program at the state level. The impact on our business of
this greater state control on Medicaid payment for diagnostic services remains uncertain.
Our success in non-U.S. markets also depends upon treatment procedures using the Hi Art system
being eligible for reimbursement through government-sponsored healthcare payment systems, private
third-party payors and labor unions. Reimbursement and healthcare payment systems in international
markets vary significantly by country and, within some countries, by region. In many international
markets, payment systems may control reimbursement for procedures performed using new products as
well as procurement of these products. In addition, as economies of emerging markets develop, these
countries may implement changes in their healthcare delivery and payment systems. Healthcare cost
containment efforts are prevalent in many of the countries in which we sell, or intend to sell, our
product and these efforts are expected to continue. Market acceptance of the Hi Art system in a
particular country may depend on the availability and level of reimbursement in that country. Our
ability to generate sales may be adversely affected if customers are unable to obtain or maintain
adequate reimbursement for treatment procedures using the Hi Art system in markets outside of the
United States in which we are selling, or are seeking to sell, the Hi Art system.
We have a limited history of manufacturing the Hi Art system in commercial quantities and may
encounter manufacturing problems or delays that could result in lost revenue.
We commenced manufacturing the Hi Art system in late 2002 and moved production to a
newly-constructed facility in Madison, Wisconsin in June 2006. The manufacturing processes at our
facility include subassembly, assembly, system integration and testing. We must manufacture and
assemble the Hi Art system in commercial quantities in compliance with regulatory requirements and
at an acceptable cost. We have only a limited history of manufacturing commercial quantities of the
Hi Art system and, as a result, we may have difficulty manufacturing the Hi Art system in
sufficient quantities in a timely manner. To manage our manufacturing operations with our
suppliers, we forecast anticipated product orders and material requirements to predict our
inventory needs up to six months in advance and enter into purchase orders on the basis of these
requirements. Our limited manufacturing history may not provide us with enough data to accurately
predict future component demand. Accordingly, we may encounter difficulties in scaling up
production of the Hi Art system, including problems with quality control and assurance, component
supply shortages, increased costs, shortages of qualified personnel and difficulties associated
with compliance with local, state, federal and foreign regulatory requirements. In addition, if we
are unable to maintain larger-scale manufacturing capabilities, our ability to generate revenue
will also be limited and our reputation could be damaged. If we cannot achieve the required level
and quality of production, we may need to outsource production or rely on licensing and other
arrangements with third parties who possess sufficient manufacturing facilities and capabilities in
compliance with regulatory requirements. Even if we could outsource needed production or enter into
licensing or other third-party arrangements, this could reduce our gross margin.
Our manufacturing operations are conducted at a single location and any disruption at our facility
could increase our expenses.
All of our manufacturing operations are conducted at a single location in Madison, Wisconsin. This
location contains bunkers for testing the Hi Art system because it emits radiation. We do not
maintain a backup manufacturing facility and we therefore depend on our current facility for the
continued operation of our business. We take precautions to safeguard our facility, including
insurance, health and safety protocols, and off-site storage of computer data. However, a natural
or other disaster could cause substantial delays in our manufacturing operations, damage or destroy
our manufacturing equipment or inventory, and cause us to incur additional expenses. The insurance
we maintain against natural or other disasters may not be adequate to cover our losses in any
particular case. With or without insurance, damage to our manufacturing facility or our other
property, or to any of our suppliers, due to a natural disaster or casualty event may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on local distributors to market and distribute the Hi Art system in much of the Asian
market.
We rely on third-party distributors for the marketing and distribution of the Hi Art system in
Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, India and China. The percentage of our revenue derived from
sales by local distributors was 11% in 2005, 21% in 2006 and 19% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. A component of our growth strategy is to expand our marketing and sales through
distributors in additional countries. In our standard distribution agreement, we appoint an
exclusive distributor for a specific country for a period of three years. The agreement sets forth
annual sales targets and we are entitled to terminate the agreement if the distributor fails to
meet these sales targets. To date, we have not had to terminate our relationship with a single
distributor due to a failure to meet the minimum sales targets. We have also developed a
certification procedure to ensure each distributor can fulfill its obligations under the
distribution agreement. Accordingly, our success in generating sales in countries where we have
engaged local
33
distributors depends in part on the efforts of others whom we do not control. Many of
our local distributors have only limited personnel capabilities, although we require them to assume
responsibility for marketing, sales and service efforts in their country. As a result, these
distributors may not be able to successfully market, sell and service the Hi Art system, may not
devote sufficient time and resources to support adequate marketing and selling efforts, and may not
market the Hi Art system at prices that will permit the Hi Art system to develop, achieve or
sustain market acceptance, any of which could adversely affect our potential for revenue from
international markets. In addition, if a distributor is terminated by us or goes out of business,
it may take us a period of time to locate an alternative distributor and to train its personnel to
market the Hi Art system and our ability to sell the Hi Art system in that distributors country
could be adversely affected.
Our results may be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
In 2006, we derived 84% of our revenue from contracts denominated in U.S. dollars, 15% in Euros and
1% in Canadian dollars. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we derived 68% of our revenue
from contracts denominated in U.S. dollars, 25% in Euros, 4% in Swiss francs and 3% in Canadian
dollars. Historically, the substantial majority of our expenses have been denominated in
U.S. dollars. However, in 2006 we opened an office in Brussels, Belgium and increased our hiring
efforts in Europe. As a result, an increasing portion of our expenses will be denominated in Euros.
If the U.S. dollar weakens against the Euro, it will have a negative impact on our profit margins.
We do not currently have a hedging program in place to offset these risks.
In addition, long-term movements in foreign currency exchange rates could affect the
competitiveness of the Hi Art system. In the recent past, we have benefited from a relatively weak
U.S. dollar that has made our pricing more competitive compared to our non-U.S. competitors. This
has been a contributor to our international orders and revenue growth. Although sales of the Hi Art
system internationally may occur in local currencies, our overall cost structure remains largely
U.S. dollar based. Any significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other countries
currencies may result in slower growth in our international orders and revenue, which could
negatively affect our overall financial performance and results.
Technological breakthroughs in cancer treatment could render the Hi Art system obsolete.
The cancer treatment market is characterized by continual technological change and product
innovation. The Hi Art system is based on our proprietary technology, but a number of our
competitors are pursuing new radiation therapy systems incorporating IGRT and adaptive radiation
therapy techniques. In addition, companies in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology fields may seek
to develop methods of cancer treatment that are more effective than radiation therapy, resulting in
decreased demand for the Hi Art system. Because the Hi Art system has a long development cycle and
because it can take significant time to receive government approvals for changes to the Hi Art
system, we must anticipate changes in the marketplace and the direction of technological
innovation. Accordingly, if we are unable to anticipate and address new innovations in the cancer
treatment market, the Hi Art system or an aspect of its functionality may be rendered obsolete,
which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
A significant percentage of our sales are in international markets, and economic, political and
other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect our sales or
make them less predictable.
The percentage of our revenue derived from sales of the Hi Art system outside of North America was
6% in 2004, 22% in 2005, 43% in 2006 and 47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. To
accommodate our international sales, we have invested significant financial and management
resources to develop an international infrastructure that will meet the needs of our customers. In
particular, in 2006 we opened a European office in Brussels, Belgium which includes sales, service
and call center operations. In addition, we have entered into agreements with distributors in Asia
who purchase the Hi Art system from us for resale to end customers. We support our international
marketing and sales activities from both our U.S. headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin and our office
in Brussels, Belgium.
We face additional risks resulting from our international operations including:
difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables in a timely manner through the
legal systems of many countries outside North America;
the failure to fulfill foreign regulatory requirements to market the Hi Art system on a timely
basis or at all;
availability of, and changes in, reimbursement within prevailing foreign health care payment
systems;
34
difficulties in managing foreign relationships and operations, including any relationships that
we establish with foreign distributors or sales or marketing agents;
limited protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
the possibility that foreign countries may impose additional withholding taxes or otherwise tax
our foreign income, impose tariffs or adopt other restrictions on foreign trade;
the possibility of any material shipping delays; and
significant changes in the political, regulatory, safety or economic conditions in a country or
region.
If we fail to overcome the challenges we encounter in our international operations, our business
will be materially adversely affected.
Product liability suits, whether or not meritorious, could be brought against us due to an alleged
defective component of the Hi Art system or for the misuse of the Hi Art system. These suits could
result in expensive and time-consuming litigation, payment of substantial damages and an increase
in our insurance rates.
Our business exposes us to potential product liability claims that are inherent in the manufacture,
sale, installation, servicing and support of medical devices. The medical device industry has
historically been litigious, and we would face financial exposure to product liability claims if
the use of the Hi Art system were to cause or contribute to injury or death, whether by aggravating
existing patient symptoms or otherwise. Because the Hi Art system involves the delivery of
radiation to the human body, the possibility for significant injury or death exists. The tolerance
for error in the design, manufacture, installation, servicing, support or use of the Hi Art system
may be small or nonexistent. We may also be subject to claims for property damage or economic loss
related to, or resulting from, any errors or defects in the Hi Art system, or the installation,
servicing and support of the Hi Art system, or any professional services rendered in conjunction
with the Hi Art system. Additionally, it is also possible that defects in the design or manufacture
of the Hi Art system might necessitate a product recall. For instance, new components or
enhancements to the Hi Art system may contain undetected errors or performance problems that,
despite testing, are discovered only after installation. Although we maintain product liability
insurance for the Hi Art system, the coverage limits of these policies may be inadequate to cover
future claims. As sales of the Hi Art system increase, we may be unable to maintain product
liability insurance on acceptable terms or at reasonable costs and such insurance may not provide
us with adequate coverage for all potential liabilities. A successful claim brought against us
relating to a liability that is in excess of our insurance coverage, or for which insurance
coverage is denied or limited, would require us to pay damage amounts that could be substantial and
have a material adverse effect on our financial position and could divert managements attention
from our core business.
The effectiveness of procedures performed using the Hi Art system are not yet supported by
long-term clinical data and the medical community has not yet developed a large body of
peer-reviewed literature that supports the Hi Art systems safety and efficacy.
We do not have significant clinical data supporting the advantages that we believe the Hi Art
system offers in comparison with competing products and technologies. For example, because the Hi
Art system has only been on the market since 2003, we have only limited complication or patient
survival rate data, which are common long-term measures of clinical effectiveness in cancer
treatment. In addition, there are a limited number of peer-reviewed medical journal publications
regarding the safety and efficacy of the Hi Art system. If future patient studies or clinical
experience do not support our belief that the Hi Art system offers a safe and effective treatment
for a wide variety of cancer types, use of the Hi Art system could fail to increase or could
decrease, and our growth and operating results would therefore be adversely affected. In addition,
if future results and experience indicate that the Hi Art system causes unexpected or serious
complications or other unforeseen negative effects, the FDA could rescind our clearances, our
reputation with clinicians and patients could suffer and we could be subject to significant legal
liability.
Our success will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
We are highly dependent on members of our senior management, operations and research and
development staff. Our continued success will depend on our ability to retain our current
management and qualified personnel with expertise in research and development, engineering,
service, manufacturing, sales, marketing and finance. Competition is intense in the medical device
industry
35
for senior management personnel, as well as other qualified personnel, and finding and
retaining such personnel with experience in our industry is very difficult. There is substantial
time and training required for all newly-hired employees to learn our product and proprietary
systems. The loss of the services of certain members of our senior management, scientists,
clinicians, or engineers could prevent the implementation and completion of our business
objectives. The loss of a member of senior management or our professional staff would also require
the remaining executive officers to divert substantial attention to seeking a replacement.
Additionally, the sale and after-sale support of the Hi Art system is logistically complex,
requiring us to maintain an extensive infrastructure of field sales and customer support personnel.
We face considerable challenges, including managing geographically dispersed efforts, in
recruiting, training, managing, motivating and retaining these teams. If we are unable to maintain
and grow an adequate pool of trained and motivated personnel, our reputation could suffer and our
financial position could be adversely affected.
If we do not effectively manage our growth, our business may be significantly harmed.
The number of our employees increased from 327 as of December 31, 2005 to 618 as of September 30,
2007. In addition, we have significantly expanded our activities outside of the United States,
including the establishment of a customer support center in Brussels, Belgium and spare parts
depots around the world. In order to implement our business strategy, we expect continued growth in
our employee and infrastructure requirements, particularly as we expand our manufacturing, customer
service and sales and marketing capacities. To manage our growth, we must expand our facilities,
augment our management, operational and financial systems, hire and train additional qualified
personnel, scale-up our manufacturing capacity and expand our marketing and distribution
capabilities. Our manufacturing, assembly and installation process is complex and we must
effectively scale this entire process to satisfy customer expectations and changes in demand. We
also expect to increase the number of sales and marketing personnel as we expand our business, and
although the number of people we employ in our international offices has grown significantly, in
many international locations we still lack the minimum critical mass to qualify for group
efficiencies, which drives our overall cost of operations higher. We cannot be certain that our
personnel, systems, procedures and internal controls will be adequate to support our future
operations. Our business will suffer if we cannot manage our growth effectively.
Many countries require that software user interfaces be translated into their respective local
language. Failure to adhere to each countrys law with respect to the language of the user
interface may cause substantial disruptions in the delivery of new systems and the use of existing
systems.
The governmental agencies regulating medical devices in some countries require that the user
interface on medical device software be in the local language. This may conflict with the
preferences of some end customers who believe that an English user interface allows for the
broadest range of use by clinicians and the safest way to utilize the system. We currently provide
user guides and manuals in the local language but only provide an English language version of the
user interface. If we cannot convert our user interface to local languages to comply with those
regulatory requirements, the use of our systems may be interrupted and it may cause the delay or
cessation of future sales in those countries.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future and may be unable to do so on acceptable
terms. This could limit our ability to grow and carry out our business plan.
We believe that the net proceeds from our recent initial public offering, together with our cash
reserves and cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for
working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. If our estimates of
revenue, expenses, or capital or liquidity requirements change or are inaccurate, or if cash
generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to
sell additional equity or arrange additional debt financing. In the future, we may also seek to
sell additional equity or arrange debt financing to give us financial flexibility to pursue
attractive acquisition or investment opportunities that may arise, although we currently do not
have any acquisitions or investments planned. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain
additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could limit our ability to
grow and carry out our business plan, or that any such additional financing, if raised through the
issuance of equity securities, will not be dilutive to our existing shareholders. If we raise
additional funds through licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish potentially
valuable rights to our products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are
not favorable to us. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or
enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond
to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements. If any of these events occurs, it
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
36
We have not yet evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting in compliance with
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We are required to comply with the internal control evaluation and certification requirements of
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by no later than the end of our 2008 fiscal year. We are in
the process of determining whether our existing internal controls over financial reporting systems
are compliant with Section 404. This process may divert internal resources and will take a
significant amount of time and effort to complete. To the extent that we are not currently in
compliance with Section 404, we may be required to implement new internal control procedures and
re-evaluate our financial reporting. We may experience higher than anticipated operating expenses
as well as increased independent auditor fees during the implementation of these changes and
thereafter. Further, we may need to hire additional qualified personnel in order for us to comply
with Section 404. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could
harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in our being unable
to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from our independent auditors, which could
have a negative impact on our stock price.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are not able to meet the requirements of our license agreement with the Wisconsin Alumni
Research Foundation, or WARF, we could lose access to the technologies licensed thereunder and be
unable to produce or sell the Hi Art system.
We license from WARF significant technology under a license agreement that requires us to pay
royalties to WARF. In addition, the license agreement obligates us to pursue an agreed development
plan and to submit periodic reports, and restricts our ability to take actions to defend the
licensed patents. WARF has the right to unilaterally terminate the agreement if we do not meet
certain minimum royalty obligations or satisfy other obligations related to our utilization of the
technology. If WARF were to terminate the agreement or if we were to otherwise lose the ability to
exploit the licensed patents, our competitive advantage would be greatly reduced and we may not be
able to find a source to replace the licensed technology. The license agreement reserves to WARF
the right to defend or prosecute any claim arising with respect to the licensed technology. If WARF
does not vigorously defend the patents, any competitive advantage we have based on the licensed
technology may be hampered.
If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology our
competitive position, future business prospects and financial performance will be adversely
affected.
Our success depends significantly on our ability to protect our intellectual property and
proprietary technologies used in the Hi Art system. If we fail to obtain patents, are unable to
obtain patents with claims of a scope necessary to cover our technology, or our issued patents are
determined to be invalid or not to cover our technology, our competitors could use portions of our
intellectual property, which could weaken our competitive position. We have an active program to
protect our proprietary inventions through the filing of patent applications and taking certain
steps to preserve the confidentiality of our confidential and proprietary information. There can be
no assurance, however, that:
current or future U.S. or foreign patent applications will be approved in a timely manner or at
all;
our issued patents will protect our intellectual property and not be challenged by third parties;
we will develop patentable intellectual property;
the validity of our patents will be upheld;
the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business; or
others will not independently develop similar or competing products or methods or design around
any patents that may be issued to us.
Although we have attempted to obtain patent coverage for our technology where available and
appropriate, there are aspects of the technology for which patent coverage was never sought or
never received. There are also countries in which we sell or intend to sell the Hi Art system, but
have no patents or pending patent applications. Our ability to prevent others from making or
selling duplicate or similar technologies will be impaired in those countries in which we have no
patent protection. We also may not be able to protect our patent rights effectively in some foreign
countries.
37
Our failure to protect the intellectual property we create would cause our business to suffer.
In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret and other laws, and
contractual restrictions on disclosure, copying and transferring title, including confidentiality
agreements with vendors, strategic partners, co-developers, employees, consultants and other third
parties, to protect our proprietary rights. We cannot be certain that these contracts have not and
will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets
will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. We cannot be certain
that the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary information will be sufficient to safeguard
the technology underlying the Hi Art system.
We may initiate lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights,
which could be expensive and, if we lose, could cause us to lose some of our intellectual property
rights.
There may be companies that are currently marketing or may, in the future, market products that
compete with the Hi Art system in a direct challenge to our intellectual property position. In such
cases, we may initiate litigation in order to stop them. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we
initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially valuable. Even
if successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents
against challenge could be expensive and time consuming and could divert our managements attention
from our core business. Litigation also puts our patents at risk of being invalidated or
interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, we may
provoke third parties to assert claims against us.
In addition, we may become involved in litigation to protect our trademark rights associated with
our company name or the names used with the Hi Art system. Third parties may assert that our
company name and names used with the Hi Art system infringe rights held by others or are ineligible
for proprietary protection. If we have to change the name of our company or the Hi Art system, we
may experience a loss in goodwill associated with our brand name, customer confusion and a loss of
sales.
We may become subject to costly intellectual property litigation, which could affect our future
business and financial performance.
The medical device industry has been characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation. In
particular, the field of radiation therapy for cancer is well-established and crowded with the
intellectual property of competitors and others. A number of companies in our market, as well as
universities and research institutions, have intellectual property, including patents and patent
applications, that relate to the use of radiation therapy to treat cancer. We have not conducted an
extensive search of patents pending or issued to third parties, and no assurance can be given that
third party patents containing claims covering the Hi Art system, technology or methods do not
exist, have not been filed or could not be filed or issued. Because of the number of patents issued
and patent applications filed in our technical areas or fields, our competitors or other third
parties may assert that the Hi Art system and the methods we employ in the use of our product are
covered by United States or foreign patents held by them. As the number of competitors in the
market for less invasive cancer treatment alternatives grows, and as the number of patents issued
in this area grows, the possibility of patent infringement claims against us increases. Any such
claim or litigation, regardless of merit, could cause us to incur substantial expenses and delay or
materially disrupt the conduct of our business. We could also be required to pay a substantial
damage award, develop non-infringing technology, enter into royalty-bearing licensing agreements,
if such licenses are available on terms reasonable to us or at all, or stop selling our products.
Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more
effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any
uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a
material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.
We may be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade
secrets of their former employers.
As is common in the medical device industry, we employ individuals who were previously employed at
other medical equipment or biotechnology companies, including our competitors or potential
competitors. Although no claims against us are currently pending, we may be subject to claims that
these employees or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other
proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against
these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result
in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.
38
Risks Related to Regulatory Matters
Modifications, upgrades and future products related to the Hi Art system or new indications may
require new FDA premarket approvals or 510(k) clearances, and such modifications, or any defects in
design or manufacture, may require us to recall or cease marketing the Hi Art system until
approvals or clearances are obtained.
The Hi Art system is a medical device that is subject to extensive regulation in the United States
and elsewhere, including by the FDA and its foreign counterparts. Before a new medical device, or a
new use of or claim for an existing medical device, can be marketed in the United States, it must
first receive either premarket approval or 510(k) clearance from the FDA, unless an exemption
exists. Either process can be expensive and lengthy. The FDAs 510(k) clearance process usually
takes from three to twelve months, but can last longer. The process of obtaining premarket approval
is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and generally takes from one to
three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA. Despite the time,
effort and cost, there can be no assurance that any particular device will be approved or cleared
by the FDA through either the premarket approval process or 510(k) clearance process. We have
obtained 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the Hi Art system for the treatment of tumors or
other targeted tissues anywhere in the body where radiation therapy is indicated. An element of our
strategy is to continue to upgrade the Hi Art system to incorporate new software and hardware
enhancements that may require the approval of or clearance from the FDA or its foreign
counterparts. Certain upgrades previously released by us required 510(k) clearance before we were
able to offer them for sale. We expect that certain of our future upgrades to the Hi Art system
will also require 510(k) clearance; however, future upgrades may be subject to the substantially
more time-consuming and uncertain premarket approval process.
The FDA requires device manufacturers to determine whether or not a modification requires an
approval or clearance. Any modification to an FDA approved or cleared device that would
significantly affect its safety or efficacy or that would constitute a major change in its intended
use would require a new premarket approval or 510(k) clearance. We have made modifications to the
Hi Art system in the past and may make additional modifications in the future that we believe do
not or will not require additional approvals or clearances. If the FDA disagrees and requires us to
obtain additional premarket approvals or 510(k) clearances for any modifications to the Hi Art
system and we fail to obtain such approvals or clearances or fail to secure approvals or clearances
in a timely manner, we may be required to cease manufacturing and marketing the modified device or
to recall modified devices until we obtain FDA approval or clearance. In addition, we may be
subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
The FDA and its foreign counterparts regulate virtually all aspects of a medical devices design,
development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record keeping, reporting, sale, promotion,
distribution and shipping. Medical devices may be marketed only for those indications for which
they are approved or cleared. The FDA and its foreign counterparts also may change these policies,
adopt additional regulations, or revise existing regulations, each of which could prevent or delay
premarket approval or 510(k) clearance of our device, or could impact our ability to market our
currently cleared device.
The Hi Art system is subject to recalls even after receiving FDA clearance or approval, which would
harm our reputation, business and financial results.
We are subject to the medical device reporting regulations, which require us to report to the FDA
if the Hi Art system causes or contributes to a death or serious injury, or malfunctions in a way
that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. The FDA and similar
governmental bodies in other countries have the authority to require the recall of the Hi Art
system if we fail to comply with relevant regulations pertaining to manufacturing practices,
labeling, advertising or promotional activities, or if new information is obtained concerning the
safety or efficacy of the Hi Art system. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us could
occur as a result of manufacturing defects, labeling deficiencies, packaging defects or other
failures to comply with applicable regulations. Any recall would divert management attention and
financial resources and could harm our reputation with customers. A recall involving the Hi Art
system could be particularly harmful to our business, financial condition and results of operations
because it is currently our only product.
If we or our distributors do not obtain and maintain the necessary regulatory approvals in a
specific country, we will not be able to market and sell the Hi Art system in that country.
To be able to market and sell the Hi Art system in a specific country, we or our distributors must
comply with the regulations of that country. While the regulations of some countries do not impose
barriers to marketing and selling the Hi Art system or only require
notification, others require that we or our distributors obtain the approval of a specified
regulatory body. These regulations, including the requirements for approvals, and the time required
for regulatory review vary from country to country. Obtaining regulatory approvals is expensive and
time-consuming, and we cannot be certain that we or our distributors will receive regulatory
approvals in each country in which we plan to market the Hi Art system. If we modify the Hi Art
system, we or our distributors may need to apply for additional regulatory approvals before we are
permitted to sell it. We may not continue to meet the quality and safety standards required to
maintain the authorizations that we or our distributors have received. If we or our distributors
are unable to maintain our authorizations in a particular country, we will no longer be able to
sell the Hi Art system in that country, and our ability to generate revenue will be materially
adversely affected.
39
We must manufacture the Hi Art system in accordance with federal and state regulations and we could
be forced to recall our installed systems or terminate production if we fail to comply with these
regulations.
We are required to comply with the FDAs quality system regulations, which is a complex regulatory
scheme that covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, control,
quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage and shipping of the Hi Art system.
Furthermore, we are required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures and
operations that comply with our quality requirements. The FDA enforces the Quality System
Regulation through periodic inspections. The Hi Art system is also subject to similar state
regulations and various worldwide laws and regulations. If in the future we fail a Quality System
Regulation inspection, our operations could be disrupted and our manufacturing operations delayed.
Failure to take adequate corrective action in response to a Quality System Regulation inspection
could force a shutdown of our manufacturing operations and a recall of the Hi Art system. If any of
these events occurs, our reputation could be harmed, and we could lose customers and suffer reduced
revenue and increased costs.
If we are found to have violated laws protecting the confidentiality of patient health information,
we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities and harm
our reputation or our business.
There are a number of federal and state laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient
health information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that
protected information. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has
promulgated patient privacy rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996, or HIPAA. These privacy rules protect medical records and other personal health information
by limiting their use and disclosure, giving individuals the right to access, amend and seek
accounting of their own health information and limiting most uses and disclosures of health
information to the minimum amount reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose. Although
we are not a covered entity under HIPAA, we have entered into agreements with certain covered
entities under which we are considered to be a business associate under HIPAA. As a business
associate, we are required to implement policies, procedures and reasonable and appropriate
security measures to protect individually identifiable health information we receive from covered
entities. Our failure to protect health information received from customers could subject us to
liability and adverse publicity, and could harm our business and impair our ability to attract new
customers.
In addition, if the firewall software protecting the information contained in the Hi Art systems
database fails or someone is successful in hacking into the database, we could face damage to our
business reputation and possible litigation and regulatory action. Certain governmental agencies,
such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Trade Commission, have the
authority to protect against the misuse of consumer information by targeting companies that
collect, disseminate or maintain personal information in an unfair or deceptive manner. We are also
subject to the laws of those foreign jurisdictions in which we sell the Hi Art system, some of
which currently have more protective privacy laws. If we fail to comply with applicable regulations
in this area, our business and prospects could be harmed.
We are subject to federal and state laws prohibiting kickbacks and false or fraudulent claims,
which, if violated, could subject us to substantial penalties. Additionally, any challenge to or
investigation into our practices under these laws could cause adverse publicity and be costly to
respond to, and thus could harm our business.
A federal law commonly referred to as the Medicare/Medicaid anti-kickback law, and several similar
state laws, prohibit persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or
providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce either the referral
of an individual, or furnishing or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made
under federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
These laws constrain our sales, marketing and other promotional activities by limiting the kinds of
financial arrangements, including sales programs, we may have with hospitals, physicians or other
potential purchasers of medical devices. We have a variety of
arrangements with our customers that could implicate these laws. For example, we provide research
grants to some of our customers to support customer studies related to protocols in using the Hi
Art system. Due to the breadth of some of these laws, and the range of interpretations to which
they are subject to, it is possible that some of our current or future practices might be
challenged under one or more of these laws. Other federal and state laws generally prohibit
individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment
from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors that are false or fraudulent, or for items or
services that were not provided as claimed. While we do not give our customers advice on coding or
billing procedures performed using the Hi Art system, we may inadvertently or informally provide
billing or code information in response to customer inquiries regarding reimbursement for
procedures. We cannot provide any assurance that the government will not view our inadvertent or
informal
40
statements regarding billing or coding to be advice, in which case we could be liable for
providing erroneous advice. Anti-kickback and false claims laws prescribe civil and criminal
penalties for noncompliance, which can be substantial. Even an unsuccessful challenge or
investigation into our practices could cause adverse publicity, and be costly to respond to, and
thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our common stock has only recently been publicly traded and the price may fluctuate substantially.
Prior to our recent initial public offering, there was no public market for shares of our common
stock. An active public trading market may not be sustained. The market price of our common stock
will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including:
fluctuations in quarterly revenue and net income;
regulatory developments related to the manufacturing, marketing or sale of the Hi Art system;
announcements of technological innovations, new services or service enhancements, strategic
alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;
recruitment or departure of key personnel;
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by any securities
analyst that elects to follow our common stock;
sales of large blocks of our common stock; and
changes in accounting principles or changes in interpretations of existing principles, which
could affect our financial results.
Share price fluctuations may be exaggerated if the trading volume of our common stock is too low.
The lack of a trading market may result in the loss of research coverage by securities analysts.
Moreover, we cannot provide any assurance that any securities analysts will initiate or maintain
research coverage of our company and our ordinary shares. If our future quarterly operating results
are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the price of our common stock would
likely decline. Securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies
following periods of volatility. Any securities litigation claims brought against us could result
in substantial expense and divert managements attention from our business.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the market by our existing
shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could result in a decline in our stock
price.
As of October 31, 2007, we had 49,580,993 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 22,621,201
shares are freely tradable without restriction. The selling shareholders in the recently concluded
secondary offering and all of our directors and officers, together holding in the aggregate
24,465,943 shares of common stock, representing 49.3% of our outstanding common stock, signed new
lock-up agreements which will expire January 8, 2008, subject to extension in the case of an
earnings release, material news or a material event relating to us. In addition, the holders of
options to purchase 1,028,278 shares (out of a total of vested options to purchase 1,569,382 shares
as of October 31, 2007) have executed similar lock-up agreements. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith Incorporated may, in its sole discretion and without notice, release all or any portion of
the shares subject to lock-up agreements. The following chart shows when we expect that the
remaining approximately 27.0 million shares that were not sold in the initial public offering or in
the secondary offering will be available for resale in the public markets. As restrictions on
resale end, the market price of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of these
shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to
sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through
future offerings of our shares or other securities.

In addition, subject to certain conditions, holders of an aggregate of 17,862,470 shares of common
stock will have the right to require us to file registration statements relating to their shares or
to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other
shareholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We also registered 6,997,843 shares of
our common stock that are authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans. Because such
shares are registered, the shares authorized for issuance under our stock plans may now be freely
sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to the lock-up agreements described above and the
restrictions imposed on our affiliates under Rule 144.
A subset of our shareholders owns 20.7% of our outstanding common stock and could limit other
shareholders influence on corporate decisions or could delay or prevent a change in corporate
control.
The current largest beneficial owners of our shares, Venture Investors, Avalon Technology and
Endeavors Group, beneficially own in the aggregate 20.7% of our shares. As a result, these
shareholders, if acting together, could exercise significant influence over the outcome of all
matters submitted to our shareholders for approval. This concentration of ownership could have the
effect of:
|
|
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company;
|
|
|
|
entrenching our management and/or board;
|
|
|
|
impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our
company; or
|
|
|
|
discouraging a potential acquiror from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of our company.
|
This concentration of ownership may also adversely affect our share price in the future.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain
all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business
and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends
will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations,
capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on
payments of dividends present in our current and future debt agreements, and other factors our
board of directors may deem relevant. We are subject to a covenant under our line of credit
agreement that places restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. As a result, capital
appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of potential gain for the
foreseeable future.
Anti-takeover provisions included in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws
could delay or prevent a change of control of our company, which could adversely impact the value
of our common stock and may prevent or frustrate attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove
our current management.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain
provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our board
of directors that our shareholders might consider favorable. These provisions include the
following:
our board of directors is authorized to issue preferred stock in series, with the designation,
powers, preferences and rights of each series to be fixed by our board of directors;
a board of directors divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, such that not
all members of the board will be elected at one time;
a requirement that special meetings of shareholders be called only by a majority of our board of
directors or our Chief Executive Officer upon demand of the holders of record of shares
representing ten percent or as otherwise required by law;
advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and nominations; and
42
our bylaws may be amended by approval of either our shareholders or our board of directors,
except where: (i) our articles of
incorporation or the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law reserve
the power exclusively to the shareholders, or (ii) the shareholders, in adopting, amending or
repealing a particular bylaw, provide within the bylaws that the board of directors may not amend,
repeal or readopt such bylaw.
In addition, a change of control of our company may be discouraged, delayed or prevented by
Sections 180.1140 to 180.1144 of the Wisconsin Business Corporations Law. These provisions
generally restrict a broad range of business combinations between a Wisconsin corporation and a
shareholder owning 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock. These and other provisions in our
amended and restated articles of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Wisconsin law could
make it more difficult for shareholders or potential acquirors to obtain control of our board of
directors or initiate actions that are opposed by the then-current board of directors, including to
delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. Any delay or
prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors could cause the
market price of our common stock to decline.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities
We have issued and sold the following unregistered securities during the three months ended
September 30, 2007:
1. We sold an aggregate of 133,294 shares of common stock to employees, directors and
consultants for cash consideration in the aggregate amount of approximately $270,934 upon the
exercise of stock options and stock awards.
We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(Securities Act) for the sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described in
paragraph (1) above under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that such sales and issuances did
not involve a public offering or under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, in that
they were offered and sold either pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written
contract relating to compensation, as provided by Rule 701.
We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sale and issuance of
securities in the transactions described in paragraph (2) by virtue of Section 4(2), Section 4(6)
and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions not involving any public offering. All
of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which we relied on Section 4(2), Section 4(6)
and/or Regulation D represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the
Securities Act. We claimed such exemption on the basis that (a) the purchasers in each case
represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view
to the distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about we or had
access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (b) appropriate
legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.
(b) Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock
Our initial public offering of 13,504,933 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 was
effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-140600) which was declared
effective by the SEC on May 8, 2007. We issued 10,602,960 shares, 2,901,973 shares were sold by
selling stockholders, 1,761,513 of which were purchased by the underwriters exercise of their
overallotment option, on May 9, 2007 for gross proceeds to the Company of $201.5 million. We paid
the underwriters a commission of $14.1 million and incurred additional offering expenses of
approximately $2.7 million. After deducting the underwriters commission and the offering expenses, we received net proceeds of
approximately $184.7 million. The managing underwriter of our IPO was Merrill Lynch & Co.
No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our directors,
officers or their associates, (ii) any person(s) owning 10% or more of any class of our equity
securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates.
The net proceeds have been invested into money market accounts. We have begun, and intend to
continue to use, our net proceeds to finance expanding our selling and marketing efforts,
increasing our research and development programs, expanding our international service and support
group, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a
43
portion of
the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, or technologies,
although we currently do not have any acquisitions or investments that are committed to.
