CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains a number of “forward-looking statements” where we indicate that we “anticipate,” “believe”, “expect”, “estimate” or use similar words to indicate what might happen in the future. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations about future events, including anticipated product introductions; changes in markets, customers and customer order rates; changes in third party reimbursement rates; expenditures for research and development; growth in revenue; taxation levels; and the effects of pricing decisions. When used in this 10-Q, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should evaluate these forward-looking statements in the context of a number of factors that may affect our financial condition and results of operations, including the following:
  We maintain a reserve against the revenue we record for sales allowances on the contracted or negotiated sales and rental prices. Many third party reimbursement entities maintain schedules of the amount of sales and rental rates for our medical products that they will reimburse. Because it is difficult to collect from patients the excess of our contract price over these scheduled rates, and because our acceptance of the payment from the reimbursement entity in some cases constitutes acceptance of that rate for our sales or rental price, we normally do not pursue collection of the excess. The rate schedules from the various reimbursement entities vary and we do not know in advance the rates of reimbursement for all of our products from all of the reimbursement entities that may cover the patients that use our products. When we record revenue upon billing of a patient or healthcare provider, we offset the sales and rental prices, before recording it as revenue, with an allowance based on our historical experience of a blended average rate schedule of the reimbursement entities, weighting our current experience with known rates from larger entities. Nevertheless, to the extent there is a shift in the reimbursement entities that pay for sales or rentals of our products, or to the extent the reimbursement rate schedules of third party reimbursement entities change, our allowance may be inaccurate and we may be required to record additional allowances, resulting in a reduction in our revenue, with a corresponding reduction in net income.
 
  Like many medical device companies that rely on third party reimbursement entities for payment, we have a large balance of uncollected accounts receivable. We also have a reserve for the portion of those receivables that we estimate will not be collected based on our historical experience. If we cannot collect an amount of receivables that is consistent with historical collection rates, we might be required to increase our reserve and charge off the portion of receivables we cannot collect. This additional “provision” for uncollectible accounts could significantly impact our operating results.
 
  In the United States, our products are subject to reimbursement by private and public healthcare reimbursement entities that generally impose strict rules on applications for reimbursement. Changes in eligibility or requirements for reimbursement, or failure to comply with reimbursement requirements, could cause a reduction in our income from operations.
 
  Healthcare reform, the expansion of managed care organizations and buying groups, and continued legislative pressure to control healthcare costs have all contributed to downward pressure on reimbursement rates and the prices of our medical products. Under the Medicare Modernization Act, Medicare is prohibited from increasing reimbursement rates for durable medical equipment, such as our medical products, through 2008. Further, this Act requires that Medicare commence a competitive bidding process for off-the-shelf products, such as our TENS devices, in 2007. Although this process will not initially be nationwide and is not binding on private reimbursement entities, we expect that Medicare and most reimbursement entities will be inclined to adjust their rate schedules based on the bidding results. Further, increasing healthcare costs has caused the formation of buying groups that enter into preferred supplier arrangements with one or more manufacturers of medical products in return for price discounts. If we are not able to obtain preferred supplier commitments from major buying groups or retain those commitments that we currently have, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

  The products we sell in our United States medical products business may only be sold on physician prescription and, for most of those products where there is a government sponsored payor, only if we receive detailed documentation from the physician indicating the medical necessity of the product together with forms which we must submit to the paying agency. In most cases, the reimbursement agency, including Medicare, requires strict adherence to the requirements of the form and the failure to properly obtain and maintain the documentation can result in significant fines, penalties, and civil litigation. For example, we were subject to a Medicare whistleblower suit that we settled in 2000 for approximately $1.6 million. Although we believe we have implemented a compliance program designed to detect errors in complying with these regulations, if our program fails, our operations and results could be adversely affected.
 
  The clinical effectiveness of our electrotherapy products has periodically been challenged and the effectiveness of electrotherapy products such as those offered by Compex for fitness and health applications has sometimes been questioned. Publicity about the effectiveness of electrotherapy for pain relief or other clinical applications and continued questions about the effectiveness of electrotherapy for conditioning could negatively impact revenue and income from operations.
 
  We maintain significant amounts of finished goods inventory on consignment at clinics for distribution to patients. We may not be able to completely control losses of this inventory and, if inventory losses are not consistent with historical experience, we might be required to write off a portion of the carrying value of inventory.
 
  The manufacture of medical and consumer products, and the labeling of those products for sale in the United States, requires compliance with quality assurance and labeling regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although we believe our manufacturing facilities and operations comply with these regulations, a failure to comply could result in our inability to manufacture, refurbish, and sell products until compliance is achieved.
 
  The marketing of our consumer products is subject to regulations and oversight by both the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) relating to misleading advertising. The FTC has commenced several enforcement actions against advertisers of abdominal belts during the past few years based on unsubstantiated claims. Although we have attempted to limit the claims made in our advertisements to matters that can be substantiated, if the FTC were to disagree with our conclusions, it could enjoin our marketing of these products for a period of time and impose fines and penalties. Any such actions would have a significant adverse impact on our operations.
 
  We operate in both the medical device and consumer products markets, both of which are subject to a significant amount of regulation that affects the way we can advertise our products, sell our products, bill customers for our products and collect payment for our products.
 
  We have not sold substantial volumes of consumer products in the United States, but intend to devote significant resources to market consumer products for health and fitness applications. The consumer market for electrical stimulation products is new and developing, and our success in this market will depend on a number of factors, including:
    our ability to obtain clearance from the FDA and other regulatory authorities to market the products for all relevant consumer applications;
 
    our ability to maintain distribution rights with, and to obtain adequate quantities of product from, the manufacturers of consumer products for which we serve as distributors;
 
    our ability to establish consumer demand with a limited marketing budget;
 
    our ability to secure “shelf space” in the United States with significant retailers; and,
 
    the effectiveness of our products for their intended applications.
  We market and sell several products manufactured by a number of different companies, including abdominal belts and other garment-based consumer products, iontophoresis products, traction devices, bone growth stimulation products, other orthopedic durable medical equipment (DME) products, and electrodes. We generally have less control over the quality and reliability of these

    third party products. If these products do not comply with their specifications or otherwise fail to properly function, we may receive an increased amount of returns for which we are primarily responsible, may be required to recall products, may suffer a decrease in product reputation and goodwill in the marketplace, and may be unable to sell products currently on hand. Any of these events could negatively impact our operations, particularly if the sale of these third party products becomes a substantial part of our business.
 
  The terms of our third party distribution contracts, including our contracts for Slendertone products, may be altered if we do not meet the contract requirements. Although we believe we are currently in compliance with those contracts, we cannot be certain that we will be able to continue to sell product at the rates these contracts require. To concentrate our resources on our core products in Europe, we have elected to discontinue distribution of Slendertone product in those markets. In the United States, our contract for the sale of Slendertone product in the United States currently calls for minimum purchases which we have budgeted for in the coming year. Although we believe that we will be able to renegotiate this contract if we do not meet these minimums, we cannot be certain that we will be able to do so on similar terms or at all.
 
  Approximately 22% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005, was generated by Compex SA, a subsidiary headquartered in Switzerland that does business primarily in Europe. There are risks in doing business in international markets which could adversely affect our business, including:
    regulatory requirements;
 
    export restrictions and controls, tariffs and other trade barriers;
 
    difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
 
    fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
    reduced protection for intellectual property rights;
 
    changes in political and economic conditions;
 
    seasonal reductions in business activity; and
 
    potentially adverse tax assessments.
  Although our products were among the first products sold for muscle toning and conditioning in Europe, the consumer markets for these products in some of the geographies have matured, and we have increasingly become subject to competition from lower cost products. Although we believe that we have maintained our reputation as the manufacturer of the highest quality products in these markets, the introduction and sale of lower cost products has caused some erosion of our sales volumes in these geographies and pressure on the price we charge for our products.
 
  The revenue we have reported during the past three years, and to a lesser extent the income we have reported, has benefited from the decreasing value of the dollar in Europe, where Compex SA operates. Because we bill for and account for sales in Europe in local currency, during periods in which U.S. currency is devalued, sales of the same number of products at the same prices in Europe will result in our recording increasing sales revenue after conversion to U.S. currency. Conversely, if U.S. currency increases in value relative to the Euro and other European currencies in the future, we would report less revenue and potentially less income even at times when our operations in Europe continued to perform at historical levels. A large or rapid increase in the value of the dollar relative to the Euro could have a significant adverse impact on our reported revenue.
 
  We have entered into a contract to perform private label, original equipment manufacturing (OEM) for a certain customer. The contract contains some minimum purchase requirements for the customer. If this customer does not meet any more than the minimum purchase requirements, it may result in lower than projected revenues and earnings in fiscal year 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting Policies
The amounts set forth in the preceding financial statements are unaudited as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, however, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Such results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Reclassification
Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 under the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Under the modified prospective method, the Company is required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged, and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, will continue to be required under SFAS No. 123(R) to the extent those amounts differ from those in the Statement of Operations. Total expense related to stock-based compensation was $206,643, net of tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2005: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 62.1%; risk-free interest rate of 3.07%; and expected life of 5 years.

4. Stockholders’ Equity:
Stock Options
The Company has 925,000 shares of its common stock reserved under its 1988 Restated Stock Option Plan and 1,400,000 shares reserved under its 1998 Stock Incentive Plan for issuance to key employees, consultants, or other persons providing valuable services to the Company. Options are granted at prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable in cumulative installments over a term of five years. They expire seven to ten years after grant. The Company also granted options to purchase a total of 650,000 shares of common stock to executives outside these plans in 2002 as an inducement to their initial employment. These non-plan options were also granted at prices equal to fair market value on the date of grant and expire seven to ten years after grant.

Restricted Stock Grants
On July 19, 2000, the Company issued 180,000 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees under its 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted shares were issued at $2.50 per share, which was the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The effect of the restricted stock grant is to increase the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Deferred compensation was recorded for the restricted stock grants on the date of grant and was amortized over the restricted stock vesting period. Restricted stock awarded may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered during the restricted period. Of the restricted shares, 25% vested immediately, and the remaining shares vested 25% per year over a four-year period. During the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized $(15,937) and $108,750, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense associated with the restricted stock grant. During fiscal 2004 and 2003, 7,500 and 37,500 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were cancelled as the employees were terminated prior to the shares becoming fully vested, causing a reversal of $18,750 and $93,750, respectively, of previously recorded expense during the year.
On June 6, 2004, the Company issued 20,498 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees under its 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted shares were issued at $6.13 per share, which was the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. These restricted shares vest 33% per year over a three-year period. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized $72,041 in selling, general, and administrative expense associated with the restricted stock grant. The Company records compensation expense for those fixed awards granted to non-employees on a straight-line basis over the related vesting period.

7. Business Acquisition
On June 23, 2005, the Company purchased all of the capital stock of SpectraBrace, Ltd., for $3.65 million, $350,000 of which was retained by the Company for six months to cover the indemnity obligations of the sellers. SpectraBrace, a physician office based durable medical equipment distributor specializing in the orthopedic market, is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The acquisition was financed through a newly established term note. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting with the purchase price allocated to the fair value of net assets acquired, the majority of which included accounts receivable of $1.1 million, inventory of $502,000, fixed assets of $81,000 and liabilities of $375,000. The excess of the purchase over the fair value of the underlying assets acquired of $2,158,978 has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill of $1,158,978 and $1,000,000 million to a separate customer relationship intangible, which will be amortized over 5 years. Any additional contingent consideration that is incurred as part of this acquisition will be allocated to goodwill. Pro forma information related to this acquisition is not included as the impact is not deemed to be material.
8. Note Payable and Long-Term Debt
The Company has a $15,000,000 U. S. credit facility which provides for revolving borrowings at varying rates based either on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR. There were borrowings outstanding of $9,000,000 and $7,500,000 on the revolving credit line as of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The Company currently has $6,000,000 available under the revolving credit line. Borrowings under the U. S. credit facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The weighted average rate on borrowings under the revolving line of credit was 6.43%. On June 23, 2005, the Company amended the credit agreement to borrow an additional $3.3 million under a term loan to fund the purchase price for the SpectraBrace acquisition.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in its U. S. credit agreement as of September 30, 2005 and for the period then ended.
The Company has a $4,975,000 Swiss credit facility that provides for a three-year term loan at varying rates. As of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, there were borrowings outstanding of $2,412,000 and $2,419,600 respectively, under this credit facility. Borrowings under this credit facility were used to fund the acquisition of Filsport Assistance S.r.l. in 2003. Borrowings under the Swiss credit facility are secured by all of the equity interest held by the Company’s Swiss subsidiary in Filsport. The credit facility called for three advances, the first two of which have already been paid. The third and final advance is due on June 30, 2006, and bears interest at 4.40%.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in its Swiss Credit agreement as of September 30, 2005 and for the period then ended.

9. Per Share Data
Net income per share is calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Potential common shares are included in the diluted net income per share calculation when dilutive. Potential common shares consisting of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding common stock options are computed using the treasury stock method. The Company’s 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 common shares outstanding during the period, increased to include dilutive potential common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that were outstanding during the period. The table below is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator in the basic and diluted net income per share calculation.

10. Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Adjustments to comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 consisted solely of gains (losses) on translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements from the functional currency to U.S. dollars of ($104,369) and $223,148, respectively, resulting in total comprehensive income of $1,247,380 and $451,871, respectively.

11. Segment Information
Since July 1, 2004, Compex Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries have been reporting in three reportable segments. The Company had previously reported as one operating segment which included the manufacture and distribution of electrical stimulation products for pain management, rehabilitation and fitness applications. However, given the establishment and growth of the Company’s consumer products segment, which includes electrical stimulation products for consumer distribution, the Company has reorganized the manner in which it reviews and manages its business. The Company’s new reporting structure is based on a geographical basis in segmenting its international and U.S. operations. Further segmentation of the U.S. operations is based on product offering by separating its U.S. consumer from its U.S. medical division. The Company’s U.S. medical segment consists of electrical stimulation products for rehabilitation, pain management and accessories and supplies distributed to patients through healthcare providers. Consumers of our U.S. medical segment require a physicians’ prescription to purchase or rent products, and the Company is normally reimbursed through a third party reimbursement organization such as an insurance company, health maintenance organization, or a governmental agency under Medicare, Medicaid, workers compensation or other programs. Our U.S. consumer segment consists of the sale of electrical stimulation products for consumers. Because the regulatory requirements and the markets differ substantially from the regulatory requirements and markets in the United States, the Company sells a completely different line of both medical, sport, fitness and wellness products over the counter under the Compex name in Europe. There is no reporting distinction between medical and consumer products within the Company’s international reporting segment, because the European regulatory environment does not necessitate the distinction between method of distribution of medical and consumer products as is necessary in the U.S.
The Company’s chief operating decision-makers make operating and strategic decisions based on measures of segment profit that includes gross profit less selling and marketing expenses.
Revenue, cost of sales and rentals, and selling expenses by division are as follows:

ITEM 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We discuss the factors that significantly affected our financial results and our financial condition in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For a more complete understanding of these factors, you should also review our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005, our consolidated statements of operations, statements of shareholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the three years ended June 30, 2005, and the notes to those financial statements. These financial statements and the report of Ernst & Young LLP on our financial statements are included in Item 8 of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Nevertheless, the preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. It is our policy to evaluate and update these estimates on an ongoing basis. The judgments and policies that we believe would have the most significant impact on the presentation of our financial position and results are as follows:
Revenue Recognition and Provisions for Credit Allowances and Returns. We derive revenue in the United States from medical products and accessories (United States Medical) sales and rentals directly to patients and durable medical equipment dealers. We also derive revenue in the United States from the sales of consumer products (United States Consumer) to distributors and directly to consumers. In certain non-domestic markets (International), we derive revenue primarily from the sales of consumer products to distributors and dealers.
United States Medical. The direct medical division involves providing products to patients for rent or purchase, the sale of accessories to patients for the ongoing use of such products and billing of the patient’s insurance provider for the products and accessories. The wholesale medical division involves the sale of devices and medical supplies primarily to clinics and medical equipment distributors. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 104, when each of the following four conditions are met: 1) a contract or sales arrangement exists; 2) products have been shipped and title has transferred or services have been rendered; 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Accordingly, we recognize direct medical revenue, both rental and purchase, when products have been dispensed to the patient and the patient’s insurance has been verified. For medical products that are sold from inventories consigned at clinic locations, we recognize revenue when we receive notice that the product has been prescribed and dispensed to the patient and the insurance has been verified or preauthorization has been obtained from the insurance company, when required. We recognize wholesale medical revenue when we ship our products to our wholesale customers. Revenue from the rental of products to patients is recognized ratably based on the number of days remaining in the month. Rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, accounted for approximately 16% and 19%, respectively, of the United States medical revenue. Products on rental contracts are placed in fixed assets and depreciated over their estimated useful life. All revenue is recognized net of estimated sales allowances and returns.
We have established reserves to account for sales allowances, product returns and rental credits. Sales allowances generally result from agreements with certain insurance providers that permit reimbursement to us in amounts that are below the product’s invoice price. This reserve is

16


Table of Contents

provided for by reducing gross revenue by a portion of the amount invoiced during the relevant period. We estimate the amount of the reduction based upon historical experience and consider the impact of new contract terms or modifications of existing arrangements with insurance providers. For patient returns of products after purchase, the amount previously recorded as revenue in a prior period is provided for by reducing gross revenue in the current period. Rental credits result when patients purchase products that they had previously rented. Many insurance providers require patients to rent products for a period of one to three months prior to purchase. If the patient has a long-term need for the product, the insurance companies may authorize purchase of the product by these patients. When the product is purchased, most insurance providers require that rental payments previously made on the product be credited toward the purchase price. These rental credits are processed at the same time the revenue is recorded on the sale of the product. A change in the percentage of medical sales made pursuant to such contracts or a change in the number or type of products that are returned could cause the level of these reserves to vary in the future.
United States Consumer. The United States consumer products division involves the sales of products to distributors, sport shops and direct sales to consumers. Revenue is primarily recognized at the time of shipment to distributors, sport shops and direct sales to consumers. A portion of our inventory is out on consignment with certain distributors and the revenue is not recognized until the distributor sells the product to a consumer. All revenue is recognized net of estimated sales allowances and returns. Because consumer products are sold with a 30-day, money back guarantee, we have established reserves to account for sales allowances and product returns in this division by estimating the amount of the revenue reduction based upon the impact of new contract terms or modifications of existing arrangements with distributors and upon our historical experience.
International. The international products division involves the sales to sports shops, retail shops and healthcare providers. Revenue is recognized at the time of shipment to dealers, distributors, sport shops and healthcare providers, direct sales to consumers or upon notification from a healthcare provider that equipment has been prescribed and provided to a patient and approved by the patient or his/her insurance provider. All revenue is recognized net of estimated sales allowances and product returns. As in our U.S. consumer division, we have established reserves for sales allowances, product returns and rental credits in this division by estimating the amount of the revenue reduction based upon historical experience and we consider the impact of new contract terms or modifications of existing arrangements with distributors.
Reserve for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable. Managing our accounts receivable, particularly in our U.S. medical division, represents one of our biggest business challenges. The process of determining what products will be reimbursed by third party payors and the amounts that they will reimburse is very complex and the reimbursement environment is constantly changing. We maintain a reserve for uncollectible receivables and provide for additions to the reserve to account for the risk of nonpayment. We set the amount of the reserve, and adjust the reserve at the end of each reporting period, based on a number of factors, including historical rates of collection, and with respect to our U.S. medical division, trends in the historical rates of collection and current relationships and experience with insurance companies or other third party payors. If the rates of collection of past-due receivables recorded for previous fiscal periods changes, or if there is a trend in the rates of collection on those receivables, we may be required to change the rate at which we provide for additions to the reserve. Such a change, even though small in absolute terms, can significantly affect financial performance in current periods. A change in the rates of our collection can result from a number of factors, including turnover in personnel, changes in the reimbursement policies or practices of payors, or changes in industry rates of reimbursement. Further, the reserve may be affected by significant charge-offs if a related group of receivables become doubtful that were not previously anticipated to be doubtful. Accordingly, the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable recorded in the statement of operations has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter as such trends change.
Carrying Value of Inventory. The U.S. direct medical division maintains a large balance of electrical stimulation devices on consignment at clinics and other healthcare providers that are not under our control. In the course of our business, some of this product is lost. Although we have the right in most

17


Table of Contents

cases to seek reimbursement for the lost product from our sales representatives or the healthcare providers, in some instances we forego that right in order to maintain favorable relationships. We maintain a reserve for the amount of consignment inventory that may be lost based on our experience as developed through periodic field audits. We cannot be certain that future rates of product loss will be consistent with our historical experience and we could be required to increase the rate at which we provide for such lost inventory, thus adversely affecting our operating results.
Carrying Value of Intangible Assets. We had a balance of intangible assets of approximately $18.2 million at September 30, 2005, most of which constituted goodwill and the value of acquired technology, from several acquisitions. We are required to charge-off the carrying value of identifiable intangibles and related goodwill to the extent it may not be recoverable. We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and related goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include the following:
    significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
 
    significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or our overall business strategy;
 
    significant negative industry or economic trends; and
 
    significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period and our market capitalization relative to net book value.
If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and related goodwill might not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we would reduce the carrying value to its fair value.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized and measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recognized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income offset by deferred tax liabilities. We exercise significant judgment in determining our provisions for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to utilize any future tax benefit from our deferred tax assets. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax determination involves significant judgments that could become subject to examination by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. We periodically assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the impact on our deferred taxes and income tax liabilities and the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Changes in income tax legislation, statutory income tax rates, or future taxable income levels, among other things, could materially impact our valuation of income tax assets and liabilities and could cause our income tax provision to vary significantly among financial reporting periods.

Results of Operations
Our results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 reflect continued, steady growth in our U.S. medical business, the first significant contribution from our U.S. consumer business, and success with new products in our international business. Benefiting from several successful shopping network and infomercial airings, our U.S. consumer revenue accounted for over 12% of revenue, but was insignificant during the comparable quarter last year. We continue to invest in the U.S. consumer initiative with expectations of continued growth through exposure at retailers and additional celebrity promotion. Health and wellness products that we introduced in Europe in late fiscal 2004 generated significant sales and appear to be competing favorably with low cost consumer products of competitors. Foreign currency translation rates were comparable for both periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and, therefore, did not have a material effect on our operating results.
The following table sets forth information from the statements of operations as a percentage of revenue for the periods indicated:

Our revenue increased by 28% to $27.6 million during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $21.7 million for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004. Significant increases in both our domestic medical business and our domestic consumer business, were partially offset by a decrease in our international revenues.
Our U.S. medical division posted a 37% increase, on revenues of $18.0 million, during the quarter when compared to the same quarter last year. Our direct medical business recorded an increase of 15% over prior year amounts, reflecting our commitment to expanding our sales force and reinforcing our strategy of calling directly on physicians. This 15% increase was achieved despite lower average selling prices in fiscal 2006 reflecting the increasing pressures on collections and revenue mix shifting from the higher reimbursement workers’ compensation/personal injury segment to the group contract insurance segment. Our wholesale business, benefiting from large OEM revenues, contributed $1.7 million of the increase. A large portion of the OEM revenues reflect sell-in orders to a single customer to fill a distribution channel. We do not anticipate the same volume from this customer or the same level of revenue in our wholesale business in the second fiscal quarter and expect that revenues from our wholesale business will continue to vary significantly quarter to quarter. Revenue from our June 2005 acquisition of SpectraBrace, Ltd. contributed $1.3 million to the increase. We anticipate our revenue from SpectraBrace to increase slightly over future periods. As SpectraBrace was acquired in June 2005, there is no comparable revenue in the prior year. We continue to expand our wholesale business to durable medical equipment distributors with

a new line of low cost TENS devices using the Staodyn brand in an effort to promote this part of our business.
Our U.S. consumer division recorded revenue of $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. This compares to $925,000 of revenue recorded for the comparable period last year. Revenues generated from our infomercial totaled $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2006. Revenue generated from the infomercial is subject to seasonality and future results may vary significantly, up or down, as compared to our first quarter results. We anticipate continued sales through our current agreements with The Home Shopping Network (HSN) and General Nutrition Centers (GNC) and we will continue to focus on landing other major retail chains. However, we do not expect to generate substantial increases in sales of these products until we secure additional national retail sales agreements.
Our international division posted revenue of $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. This represents a decrease of 19% from the $7.5 million recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2004. This is primarily due to a 22% decrease in the unit sales of our Compex line of products. We are still competing against lower-priced competitors in the large Italian market. We intend to introduce a lower priced model late in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Unit sales in Spain and France, our other two large markets, are down slightly when compared to prior year. We expect this to return to prior year levels in the second quarter. Slendertone product sales were up slightly over prior year, however, we have decided to discontinue marketing these products in Europe. There is very little product remaining to be distributed and any products deemed in excess will be brought over to the U.S. market for sale. There was no significant impact from exchange rates as rates were comparable to prior year.
Our gross profit was $18.5 million or 66.9% of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. This compares to $14.7 million or 68.1% of revenue for the first quarter ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in our gross margin is primarily due to an increase in our U.S. consumer revenue and the large increase in revenues from our wholesale/OEM group as a percent of total revenue. The margins on the U.S. consumer and the OEM manufacturing products are lower than those generated by our direct U.S. medical business and our international division. As our U.S. consumer revenue continues to be a larger percentage of our total revenues, our gross margin will decrease. We anticipate that our gross margins will settle in the low to mid 60% range.
Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, increased 15% to $11.3 million or 41.1% of revenue, up from $9.8 million or 45.5% of revenue for the comparable quarter last year. Spending in our U.S. consumer division, in promoting our Slendertone product line, was comparable to prior period in absolute dollars however, lower as a percentage of revenue. Additionally, expenses in our U.S. medical division increased, proportionately to our increase in revenue, reflecting our investment in more direct sales representatives. This was partially offset by a decrease in spending in our international selling and marketing due to a reduction in sales commissions and Slendertone promotion and advertising expenses when compared to prior year. Our selling and marketing expenses also increased in absolute dollars over prior year due to an additional $97,000 of compensation expense related to stock based employee benefits recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, because of the implementation of FAS123(R). We currently anticipate increased selling and marketing expenses in the quarter ending December 31, 2005, as we introduce television advertisements in Europe designed to enhance our competitive position.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, totaled $4.0 million or 14.5% of revenue, representing a 7% increase over the $3.7 million or 17.3% of revenue recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Our general and administrative expenses increased in absolute dollars over prior year due primarily to an additional $151,000 of compensation expense related to stock based employee benefits recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, because of the implementation of FAS123(R). We became subject to the requirements of FAS123(R) in the September 2005 quarter. We anticipate our general and administrative expenses to remain relatively constant over the remainder of the year.
Our research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, decreased 25% to $540,000 from $723,000 for the comparable quarter ended September 30, 2004. We have projects under development that will support all three of our business segments and we anticipate research and

development spending will grow slightly in absolute dollars, but will decrease as a percent of revenue in future periods as our revenue from our U.S. consumer division increases.
Interest expense increased from $80,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 to $231,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. In June 2005, we incurred additional borrowings of approximately $3.3 million that we used to finance the SpectraBrace, Ltd. acquisition. As a result, our average outstanding borrowing levels for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, were higher than the comparable quarter in 2004.
The provision for income taxes was 43% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and 40% for the comparable period in 2005. The increase to 43% in the current quarter reflects expense recorded for non-deductible employee stock options related to FAS 123(R). We believe 43% is a reasonable estimate of the effective rate for fiscal 2006.
As a result of the activities described above, our net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $1.4 million, up significantly from $229,000 of net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Diluted earnings per share increased from $0.02 during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 on weighted average shares of 13,020,849 to $0.11 during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 on weighted average shares of 12,592,325.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operating activities used cash of $407,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $679,000 used during the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Although we generated cash from earnings, after adjustment for depreciation and amortization, of approximately $1.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we used over $1.5 million to finance increased receivables during the fiscal 2006 quarter, as a result of the large sales from the U.S. consumer business. In both quarters, we used cash through decreased balances of payables, reflecting the impact of year-end timing differences and the payment of estimated income taxes. This was partially offset by a decrease in our inventory balances through the strong sales generated by our wholesale business.
We used $1.2 million in investing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2006 for purchases of property and equipment, primarily manufacturing equipment required to meet our increased production requirements. We used $253,000 of cash in the first three months of fiscal 2005 for purchases of property and equipment, primarily clinical and rental equipment.
Our financing activities provided $1.9 million of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2006, mainly from the borrowing of $1.5 million under our domestic credit line to finance expenditures in the U.S. consumer division, from cash received from exercise of stock options, and from purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we generated $1.5 million from financing activities, which included purchases under our employee stock purchase plan of $215,000 and the borrowing of $1.3 million under our domestic credit line.
At September 30, 2005, we had a balance of $9.0 million outstanding under our U.S. credit facility, $3.3 million under our U.S. term loan, and $2.4 million under our European credit facility. Based on our credit agreement, we believe we could borrow up to an additional $6.0 million under our credit facility.
In addition to approximately $2.5 million of payments due under our debt agreements and lease obligations during the following year, we have approximately $150,000 that will become due to maintain celebrity endorsements. We expect to continue to support the U.S. consumer division by investing in sales and marketing, and in inventory and infrastructure, over the remainder of the fiscal year to market these sport products in the United States. We may also apply cash to acquisitions during future periods.
We believe that available cash and borrowings under our credit lines will be adequate to fund cash requirements for the current fiscal year and the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, our revenue originating outside the U.S. was 22% of total revenue, substantially all of which was denominated in the local functional currency. Currently, we do not employ currency hedging strategies to reduce the risks associated with the fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates.
Our international division is subject to risks typical of an international division, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on certain outstanding debt. The outstanding loan balance under our $15 million credit facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR. Based on the average outstanding bank debt for fiscal 2006, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would change interest expense by approximately $140,000.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to us (or our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
