Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)


Note 1:	Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods presented. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of ICU Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2012 .

We operate in one business segment engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of innovative medical devices used in infusion therapy, oncology and critical care applications. Our devices are sold directly or to distributors and medical product manufacturers throughout the United States and internationally. All subsidiaries are wholly owned and are included in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


Note 2:	New Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") number 2013-02, Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 requires reporting the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income. It is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU does not affect our consolidated financial statements, but could require additional disclosure if applicable in future periods.


Note 3:	Fair Value Measurement:

Our investment securities consist of certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds and federal tax-exempt state and municipal government debt. All investment securities are considered available-for-sale and are “investment grade”, carried at fair value, and there have been no gains or losses on their disposal. As of March 31, 2013 , we had $8.2 million of our investment securities as Level 1 assets, which are certificates of deposit with quoted prices in active markets, and $70.7 million of our investment securities as Level 2 assets, which are pre-refunded municipal securities, non-pre-refunded municipal securities, corporate bonds and sovereign bonds and have observable market based inputs such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. We had no Level 3 investments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 . The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis.



	Fair value measurements at March 31, 2013 using
	Total carrying value		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (level 3)

Note 4: Investment Securities:

Our investment securities consist of certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds and federal tax-exempt state and municipal government debt. All investment securities are considered available-for-sale and are “investment grade”, carried at fair value, and there have been no gains or losses on their disposal. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the shareholders' equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. We had no gross unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012 . The scheduled maturities of the debt securities are between 2013 and 2042 and are all callable within one year. The investment securities consist of the following at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 :



	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Federal tax-exempt debt securities	$	23,577	$	23,732
Corporate bonds	46,445		47,037

Note 6:	Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment consisted of the following:



	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012

Accumulated depreciation	(116,209		)	(112,836		)
Net property and equipment	$	86,994		$	85,937


Note 7:	Net Income Per Share:

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive securities. Dilutive securities are outstanding common stock options and restricted stock units(excluding stock options with an exercise price in excess of the average market value for the period), less the number of shares that could have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the options, using the treasury stock method. Options that are anti-dilutive because their exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common stock for the period approximated 142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 , respectively.

The following table presents the calculation of net earnings per common share (“EPS”) — basic and diluted.



	Three months ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Net income	$	8,685	$	7,601
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (for basic calculation)	14,507		13,956
Dilutive securities	546		362
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding (for diluted calculation)	15,053		14,318
EPS — basic	$	0.60	$	0.54
EPS — diluted	$	0.58	$	0.53


Note 8:	Major Customer:

We had revenues equal to 10% or more of total revenues from one customer, Hospira, Inc. Such revenues were 38% and 42% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , we had accounts receivable from Hospira of 38% and 35% of consolidated accounts receivable, respectively.


Note 9:	Income Taxes:

Income taxes were accrued at an estimated effective tax rate of 29% and 34% in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The effective tax rate differs from that computed at the federal statutory rate of 35% principally because of the effect of foreign and state income taxes, tax credits, deductions for domestic production activities and discrete tax items, including the extension of the federal research and development credit for the 2012 tax year.

Note 10:	Commitments and Contingencies:

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, most of which are routine litigation, in the normal course of business. Our management does not believe that the resolution of the other legal proceedings that we are involved with will have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In the normal course of business, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law and to indemnify customers as to certain intellectual property matters related to sales of our products. There is no maximum limit on the indemnification that may be required under these agreements. Although we can provide no assurances, we have never incurred, nor do we expect to incur, any material liability for indemnification.


Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We are a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of innovative medical devices used in infusion therapy, oncology and critical care applications. Our products improve patient outcomes by helping to prevent bloodstream infections and protect healthcare workers and patients from exposure to infectious diseases or hazardous drugs and monitoring continuous cardiac output of critical care patients. Our complete product line includes custom infusion systems, closed delivery systems for hazardous drugs, needlefree infusion connectors, catheters and cardiac monitoring systems.

Business Overview

In the early 1990's, we launched the Clave, an innovative one-piece, needlefree infusion connection device. The Clave is a worldwide leader in connector products. The Clave's unique design ensures compliance with needlefree policies because of its passive technology which cannot accept a needle. Our Clave products accounted for 37% of our revenues in 2012.

In the late 1990s, we commenced a transition from a product-centered company to an innovative, fast, efficient, low-cost manufacturer of custom infusion sets, using processes that we believe can be readily applied to a variety of disposable medical devices. This strategy has enabled us to capture revenue on the entire infusion delivery system, and not just a component of the system. We have furthered this effort to include all of our proprietary devices beyond the Clave.

One of our strategies has been to acquire new product lines. For example, in August 2009, we purchased the commercial rights and physical assets of Hospira’s critical care product line, which resulted in our control over all aspects of the critical care product line, including production, sales, marketing, customer contracting and distribution. We had previously manufactured for sale, exclusively to Hospira, the critical care products. Pursuant to the prior arrangements, Hospira retained commercial responsibility for the products that we manufactured, including sales to end customers, marketing, pricing, distribution, customer contracts, customer service and billing, and we had little ability to directly influence Hospira’s sales and marketing efforts, and our sales under this arrangement were subject to fluctuations over which we had little control. The purchase of Hospira’s critical care line has resulted in an increase in direct sales and sales to independent distributors but a decrease in sales to Hospira. There is no assurance that we will be successful in finding future acquisition opportunities or integrating new product lines into our existing business.

Another strategy for reducing our dependence on our current proprietary products has been to introduce new products. We recently introduced the Neutron, a catheter patency device using Clave technology, the NanoClave, a smaller Clave product

designed for neonatal and pediatric patients, CardioFlo Hemodynamic Monitoring Sensor System, a minimally invasive

monitoring sensor for use on critical care patients and the Diana Hazardous Drug Compounding System, an automated sterile

compounding system for preparing hazardous drugs. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully

manufacture, market and sell these new products.

We are also expanding our business through increased sales to medical product manufacturers, independent distributors and through direct sales to the end users of our product. These expansions include our 2008 agreement with Premier, the extension of the term of our agreement with MedAssets, our 2011 agreement with Novation covering all of our critical care products and the growth of our internal sales and marketing group. Each of these organizations is a U.S. healthcare purchasing network. We also potentially face substantial increases in competition in our Clave business. Therefore, we are focusing on increasing product development, acquisition, sales and marketing efforts to custom infusion systems, oncology products, critical care products and other products that lend themselves to customization and new products in the U.S. and international markets.

Our largest customer is Hospira. Hospira accounted for 38% , 42% and 42% of our worldwide revenues in the first quarter of 2013 and the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our relationship with Hospira has been and will continue to be important for our growth. We currently manufacture custom I.V. sets for sale by Hospira and jointly promote the products under the name SetSource. We expect revenues from sales of Clave products, custom infusion sets and new products to Hospira to remain a significant percentage of our revenues. Hospira has a significant share of the I.V. set market in the U.S. and provides us access to that market, and we expect that Hospira will continue to be important to our growth for Clave, custom infusion sets and our other products worldwide.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2013 and the years ended 2012 and 2011 were $74.3 million , $316.9 and $302.2 million, respectively. We currently sell substantially all of our products to medical product manufacturers, independent distributors and through direct sales to the end user. Most of our independent distributors handle the full line of our infusion administration products. We sell our I.V. administration and oncology products under two agreements with Hospira. Under a 1995 agreement, Hospira purchases Clave products, principally sterile, bulk, non-sterile connectors and oncology products. Pursuant to a 2001 agreement, we sell custom infusion sets to Hospira under a program referred to as SetSource. Our 1995 and 2001 agreements with Hospira provide Hospira with conditional exclusive and nonexclusive rights to distribute all existing ICU Medical products worldwide with terms that extend through 2018. We sell invasive monitoring and angiography products to independent distributors and through direct sales. We also sell certain other products to a number of other medical product manufacturers.

We believe that as healthcare providers continue to either consolidate or join major buying organizations, the success of our products will depend, in part, on our ability, either independently or through strategic relationships such as our Hospira

Table of Contents

relationship, to secure long-term contracts with large healthcare providers and major buying organizations. As a result of this marketing and distribution strategy, we derive most of our revenues from a relatively small number of distributors and manufacturers. The loss of a strategic relationship with a customer or a decline in demand for a manufacturing customer’s products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We believe that achievement of our growth objectives worldwide will require increased efforts by us in sales and marketing and product development; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. The custom products market is small, when compared to the larger market of standard products, and we could encounter customer resistance to custom products. Further, we could encounter increased competition as other companies see opportunity in this market. Product development or acquisition efforts may not succeed, and, even if we do develop or acquire additional products, there is no assurance that we will achieve profitable sales of such products. An adverse change in our relationship with Hospira, or a deterioration of Hospira’s position in the market, could have an adverse effect on us. Increased expenditures for sales and marketing and product acquisition and development may not yield desired results when expected, or at all. While we have taken steps to control these risks, there are certain risks that may be outside of our control, and there is no assurance that steps we have taken will succeed.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, total revenues by market segment and its major product groups as a percentage of total revenues:



	Quarter ended March 31,				Fiscal year ended
Product line	2013		2012		2012		2011

We have ongoing efforts to increase systems capabilities, improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce labor costs, reduce time needed to produce an order, and minimize investment in inventory. These efforts include the use of automated assembly equipment for new and existing products and use of larger molds and molding machines. In 2006, we centralized our proprietary molding in Salt Lake City and expanded our production facility in Mexico, which took over the majority of our manual assembly previously done in Salt Lake City. In 2010 and early 2011, we expanded our production facility in Mexico. In late 2010, we completed construction of an assembly plant in Slovakia that serves our European product distribution. In 2013, we plan to convert existing warehouse space into manufacturing space and a new clean room in our Salt Lake City plant. We may establish additional production facilities outside the U.S.; however, there is no assurance that we will achieve success in establishing manufacturing facilities outside the U.S.

We distribute products through three distribution channels. Product revenues for each distribution channel as a percentage of total channel product revenue were as follows:



	Quarter ended March 31,				Fiscal year ended
Channel	2013		2012		2012		2011
Medical product manufacturers	35	%	39	%	40	%	39	%
Domestic distributors/direct sales	35	%	35	%	35	%	35	%
International customers	30	%	26	%	25	%	26	%
Total	100	%	100	%	100	%	100	%

Sales to international customers do not include bulk Clave products sold to Hospira in the U.S. but used in I.V. products manufactured by Hospira and exported. Those sales are included in sales to medical product manufacturers. Other sales to Hospira for destinations outside the U.S. are included in sales to international customers.

Seasonality/Quarterly Results

The healthcare business in the United States is subject to quarterly fluctuations due to frequency of illness during the seasons, elective procedures, and, over the last few years, the economy. In Europe, the healthcare business generally slows down in the summer months due to vacations resulting in fewer elective surgeries. Also in Europe, hospitals’ budgets tend to finish at the end of the year, which may cause fewer purchases in the last three months of the year as hospitals await their new budgets in January. In addition, we can experience fluctuations in net sales as a result of variations in the ordering patterns of our largest customers, which may be driven more by production scheduling and their inventory levels, and less by seasonality. Our expenses often do not fluctuate in the same manner as net sales, which may cause fluctuations in operating income that are disproportionate to fluctuations in our revenue.

Quarter-to-Quarter Comparisons

We present income statement data in Part I, Item 1 - Financial Statements. The following table shows, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2012, the percentages of each income statement caption in relation to total revenues.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2012

Revenues were $74.3 million in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $75.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 .

Domestic sales: Net domestic sales in the first quarter of 2013 were $52.0 million , compared to net domestic sales of $55.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 , a decrease of 7% .

Table of Contents

Net domestic sales to Hospira were $25.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 , compared to $28.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 , a decrease of 13% . Infusion therapy sales decreased $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 from the first quarter of 2012 . Oncology sales increased $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 from the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease in infusion therapy was primarily from Hospira's planned reduction in Clave shipments in the first quarter of 2013. Hospira's planned reduction in the first quarter of 2013 was to achieve carrying lower levels of inventory. The increase in oncology sales was from higher unit sales.

Net other domestic sales (excluding Hospira) in the first quarter of 2013 were $27.0 million , compared to $26.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 . Infusion therapy sales increased $1.4 million , or 11% , from the first quarter of 2012 , which was primarily from a $0.5 million increase in Clave product sales and a $0.8 million increase in custom infusion set sales. The increased Clave and custom infusion set sales were primarily due to increased unit sales. Oncology sales increased $0.4 million , or 26% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The increased oncology sales were due to increased unit sales from increased market share and demographic growth. Critical care sales decreased $0.9 million , or 9% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The critical care decrease was due to lower unit sales, primarily from increased competition in this market. Other product sales decreased $0.7 million , or 26% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease is primarily due to $0.3 million in lower TEGO sales from lower unit sales and $0.3 million of sales in the first quarter of 2012 from our former diabetes product line, Orbit. The Orbit product line was sold in November 2011 and Orbit sales concluded in the first quarter of 2012. We expect modest increases in other domestic sales (excluding Hospira) in 2013 compared to 2012 , primarily from higher infusion therapy and oncology sales, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

International sales: Net sales to international customers were $22.3 million in the first quarter of 2013 , an increase of $2.5 million , or 13% , from the first quarter of 2012 . Infusion therapy sales increased $2.1 million , or 18% , from the first quarter of 2012 . Oncology sales increased $1.2 million , or 34% from the first quarter of 2012 . Critical care sales were comparable in both quarters. Other product sales decreased $0.7 million or 46% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The increase in infusion therapy sales was from increased unit sales inside and outside of Europe. The increase in oncology sales was primarily from increased unit sales in Europe. The decrease in other product sales is primarily due to our sale of our former diabetes product line, Orbit.

Geographically, our international sales were primarily in Europe and the Pacific Rim. The increase in international sales was primarily attributable to increased sales in Europe, Pacific Rim and Latin America. We expect moderate increases in international sales from higher infusion therapy and oncology sales, partially offset by lower critical care sales, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Sales by market segment and other revenue: Net infusion therapy sales were $50.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 , a decrease of $0.6 million , or 1% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease in infusion therapy was primarily from $2.5 million in lower Clave product sales, partially offset by $2.1 million in increased custom infusion set sales. The decrease in Clave product sales was from lower sales to Hospira, partially offset by higher sales to domestic distributors and direct customers and to international customers. The increase in custom infusion set sales was from higher sales to domestic distributors and direct customers and international customers. We expect modest increases in infusion therapy sales in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily from higher sales in Clave products and custom infusion set sales. There is no assurance, however, that these expectations will be realized.

Net critical care sales were $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2013 , a decrease of $1.0 million , or 7% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease was primarily from lower domestic unit sales from increased competition. We expect critical care sales to decrease in 2013 compared to 2012 from increased competition, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Net oncology sales were $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 , an increase of $1.8 million , or 27% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The increase was from higher sales in all channels. We expect growth in oncology sales in 2013 compared to 2012, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Net other product sales were $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2013 , a decrease of $1.4 million , or 33% , from the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease is primarily due to sales of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 from our former diabetes product line, Orbit.

Other revenue consists of license, royalty and revenue share income and was approximately $0.1 million in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 .

Table of Contents

Gross margins for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 were 50% and 46% , respectively. The gross margin improvement is primarily a result of continued manufacturing efficiencies at our three plants that began during the second half of 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $22.9 million , or 31% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2013 , compared with $20.9 million , or 28% of revenues in the first quarter of 2012 . The new medical device excise tax, which became effective in 2013, contributed $0.5 million of the increase from the first quarter of 2012 . The remaining increase was primarily due to $0.5 million of increased information technology costs, $0.4 million in higher sales and marketing travel and $0.4 million in higher SG&A compensation and benefits, primarily from salary increases and higher stock compensation expense. We expect SG&A expenses in 2013 to be approximately 27% of revenue, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Research and development expenses (“R&D” ) were $1.9 million , or 2% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $2.7 million , or 3% of revenue in the first quarter of 2012 . The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily from lower project related R&D expenses. We expect R&D expenses in 2013 to be approximately 3% of revenue, although there is no assurance that these expectations will be realized.

Other income was $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 .

Income taxes were accrued at an estimated effective tax rate of 29% in the first quarter of 2013 and 34% in the first quarter of 2012 . The rate differed from the statutory corporate rate of 35% principally because of the effect of foreign and state income taxes, tax credits, deductions for domestic production activities and discrete tax items, including the extension of the federal research and development credit for the 2012 tax year. While we can provide no assurances, we expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 33% in 2013, including discrete tax items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first quarter of 2013 , our cash, cash equivalents and investment securities increased by $7.4 million from $226.2 million at December 31, 2012 to $233.6 million at March 31, 2013 .

Operating Activities : Our cash provided by operating activities tends to increase over time because of our positive operating results. However, it is subject to fluctuations, principally from changes in net income, accounts receivable, inventories and the timing of tax payments.

Our cash provided by operations was $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 . Net income plus adjustments for non-cash net expenses contributed $15.3 million to cash provided by operations. This was partially offset by the net decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.5 million to cash provided by operations. The $4.0 million increase in accounts receivable was the largest contributor to the change in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to a temporary increase in days' sales outstanding ("DSO") in Hospira accounts receivable. We expect the DSO's in Hospira accounts receivable to return to normal levels in 2013.

Investing Activities: Our cash used by investing activities was $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 , which was primarily comprised of net investment purchases of $0.8 million and $5.8 million in capital purchases. Our property, plant and equipment purchases were primarily comprised of machinery, equipment and mold additions in our United States plant.

While we can provide no assurances, we estimate that our capital expenditures in 2013 will approximate $30.0 million

to $35.0 million. The large increase in expected capital expenditures is due to planned building improvements to prepare for

anticipated capacity requirements beyond 2013. At our Salt Lake City, Utah plant, we plan to convert existing warehouse space

into manufacturing space and a new clean room. We also anticipate making investments in molds, machinery and equipment in

our manufacturing operations in the United States and Mexico to support new and existing products and investments in information technology that benefit world-wide operations. We expect to use our cash and investments to fund our capital purchases. Amounts of spending are estimates and actual spending may substantially differ from those amounts.

Financing Activities: Our cash provided by financing activities was $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 . This was from cash provided by the exercise of stock options and shares purchased by our employees under the employee stock purchase plan, resulting in 112,187 shares issued to our employees and directors. The tax benefits from the exercise of stock options was $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 , which fluctuates based principally on when employees choose to exercise their vested stock options.

Table of Contents

In July 2010, our Board of Directors approved a share purchase plan to purchase up to $40.0 million of our common stock. We have purchased $11.9 million of our stock pursuant to this plan, leaving a balance of $28.1 million available for future purchases. There were no purchases under this plan in the first quarter of 2013 . This plan has no expiration date. We may purchase additional shares in future quarters and expect we would use our cash and investments to fund the share purchases.

We have a substantial cash and investment security position generated from profitable operations and stock sales, principally from the exercise of employee stock options. We maintain this position to fund our growth, meet increasing working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, and to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that may arise. Our primary investment goal is capital preservation, as further described in Part 1, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As of March 31, 2013 , we have $16.7 million of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States, the majority of which is available to fund foreign operations and obligations.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investment securities along with funds expected to be generated from future operations will provide us with sufficient funds to finance our current operations for the next twelve months. In the event that we experience illiquidity in our investment securities, downturns or cyclical fluctuations in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated or if we fail to achieve anticipated revenue and expense levels, we may need to obtain or seek alternative sources of capital or financing, and we can provide no assurances that the terms of such capital or financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations, at March 31, 2013 , of approximately the amount set forth in the table below. This amount excludes inventory related purchase orders for goods and services for current delivery. The majority of our inventory purchase orders are blanket purchase orders that represent an estimated forecast of goods and services. We do not have a commitment liability on the blanket purchase orders. Since we do not have the ability to separate out blanket purchase orders from non-blanket purchase orders for inventory related goods and services for current delivery, amounts related to such purchase orders are excluded from the table below. We have excluded from the table below pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 (formerly FIN 48), an interpretation of ASC 740-10 (formerly SFAS 109), a non-current income tax liability of $3.3 million due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of future cash outflows associated with the liabilities.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Financial Market Risk

We had a portfolio of federal tax-exempt state and municipal government bonds, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds and certificates of deposit of $78.9 million as of March 31, 2013 . The securities are all “investment grade”, comprised of $22.0 million of pre-refunded municipal securities, $1.6 million of non-pre-refunded municipal securities, $46.4 million in corporate bonds, $0.7 million in sovereign bonds and $8.2 million of certificates of deposit. The pre-refunded municipal securities are fully escrowed by U.S. government Treasury bills with low market risk.

Our future earnings are subject to potential increase or decrease because of changes in short-term interest rates. Generally, each one-percentage point change in the discount rate will cause our overall yield to change by two-thirds to three-quarters of a percentage point, depending upon the relative mix of federal-tax-exempt securities in our portfolio and market conditions specific to the securities in which we invest. Two-thirds to three-quarters of a percentage point change in our earnings on investment securities would create a change of approximately $0.6 million to investment income based on the investment securities balance at March 31, 2013 .

Foreign Exchange Risk

We have foreign currency exchange risk related to foreign-denominated cash, short-term investments, accounts

receivable and accounts payable. In our European operations, our net Euro asset position at March 31, 2013 was

approximately €17.3 million. We also have approximately €32.6 million in Euro denominated cash and investment accounts

held by our corporate entity. A 10% change in the conversion of the Euro to the U.S. dollar for our cash and investments,

accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities from the March 31, 2013 spot rate would impact our

Table of Contents

consolidated amounts on these balance sheet items by approximately $6.4 million, or 2.5% of these net assets. We expect that in the future, with the growth of our European distribution operation, net Euro denominated instruments will continue to

increase. We currently do not hedge our foreign currency exposures.

Sales from the U.S. to foreign distributors are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities in several countries and we conduct business transactions denominated in various foreign currencies, although principally the Euro and Mexican Peso. A 10% change in the conversion of the Mexican Peso to the U.S. dollar from the average exchange rate we experienced in 2012 and our manufacturing spending from 2012 would have impacted our cost of

goods sold by approximately $2.2 million.

Commodity Risk

Our exposure to commodity price changes relates primarily to certain manufacturing operations that use resin. We manage our exposure to changes in those prices through our procurement and supply chain management practices and the effect of price changes has not been material to date. Based on our average price for resin in fiscal year 2012, a 10% increase to the price of resin would have resulted in approximately a $1.0 million change in material cost.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

We have not been required to pay any penalty to the IRS for failing to make disclosures required with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the IRS as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose.

I n an action filed July 27, 2007 entitled ICU Medical, Inc. v. RyMed Technologies, Inc. in the United States District

Court for the District of Delaware (the "District Court"), ICU Medical, Inc. (“ICU”) alleged that RyMed Technologies, Inc.

(“RyMed”) infringes certain ICU patents through the manufacture and sale of its original and current InVision-Plus valves. ICU

seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief and continues to vigorously pursue this matter.

A jury trial commenced on December 13, 2010. On December 17, 2010, the jury returned a verdict that: (1) RyMed's

original device literally infringed ICU's U.S. Patent No. 5,685,866 ('866 Patent) and ICU's U.S. Patent No. 5,873,862 ('862

Patent); (2) RyMed's current device infringes the '862 Patent both literally and under the doctrine of equivalents; (3) RyMed's

current device infringes the '866 Patent under the doctrine of equivalents; (4) RyMed has engaged in contributory infringement

and induced infringement of ICU's '862 Patent; and (5) ICU's '866 and '862 Patents are valid.

On May 11, 2012, a bench trial was held on RyMed's prosecution history estoppel defense. The parties have

completed a post-trial briefing. Once the court rules on this defense, a further trial will be scheduled to determine the damages,

if any, owed by RyMed to ICU Medical.

We are from time to time involved in various other legal proceedings, either as a defendant or plaintiff, most of which are routine litigation in the normal course of business. We believe that the resolution of the legal proceedings in which we are involved will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
