Highlight of Business Operations:

In addition, on the same date, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Intuitive Surgical pursuant to which Intuitive Surgical paid $3.0 million to purchase from us an aggregate of 1,249,541 shares of our common stock, or the Stock Issuance. The net proceeds recorded to stockholders equity based upon the fair value of our common stock on August 16, 2010 were approximately $2.0 million after offering expenses. From the premium paid of $1.0 million and the upfront license fee payment of $9.0 million, $168,000 and $9.1 million had been recorded as license and development revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and $544,000 had been recorded as deferred revenue as of December 31, 2011. There were no underwriters or placement agents involved with the Stock Issuance, and no underwriting discounts or commissions or similar fees were payable in connection with the Stock Issuance.

Net Revenue. Total net revenue decreased by $282,000, or 24%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2010. Product sales decreased by $283,000, or 26%, to $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease of $283,000 in product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to lower PAS-Port and C-Port systems sales in the United States.

Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales consists primarily of material, labor and overhead costs. Cost of product sales increased by $117,000, or 12%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in cost of product sales resulted primarily from increased overhead costs per unit sold in the current year, partially offset by decreased units sold. Additionally, we recorded a lower of cost or market inventory write-down of $63,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0 for the same period in 2010 primarily on our PAS-Port and C-Port xA systems inventory due to higher product cost of units manufactured in 2011. We released $12,000 of excess and obsolete inventory reserves as a result of units sold in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $34,000 for the same period in 2010.

Net Revenue. Total net revenue decreased by $9.5 million, or 84%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2010. Product sales decreased by $511,000, or 24%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease of $511,000 in product sales for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to lower PAS-Port and C-Port systems sales in the United States. The decrease in license and development revenue of $8.9 million relates to the Intuitive Surgical License Agreement that we entered into in August 2010 under which we recognized $9.0 million upon transferring certain license rights when we entered into the agreement in the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales was $1.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and for the same period in 2010. The cost of product sales was constant between the periods; however, overhead costs per unit increased and were offset by decreased units sold. Additionally, we scrapped $53,000 of inventory parts in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $31,000 for the same period in 2010 and we released $23,000 of excess and obsolete inventory reserves as a result of units sold in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $68,000 for the same period in 2010.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
