Item
1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Line
of Credit Facility
On May 9,
2005, Cardiac Science, Inc. (the "
Company
")
entered into a limited waiver and amendment agreement (the "
Credit
Facility Amendment
") to the
Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2004, as amended to date
(the "
Loan
Agreement
"), with
Silicon Valley Bank ("
SVB
").
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility Amendment, the parties thereto
agreed to modify a financial covenant regarding minimum EBITDA contained in the
Loan Agreement to exclude the impact of the Company's reduction of goodwill in
the quarter ended March 31, 2005 (See Items 2.02 and 2.06 below). Additionally,
SVB agreed to a limited waiver of the EBITDA covenant violation for quarter
ended March 31, 2005.
Senior
Debt Facility
On May
10, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment and limited waiver (the
"
Senior
Debt Amendment
") to the
Senior Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2002, as amended
July 1, 2003, March 15, 2004 and January 28, 2005 (the "
Purchase
Agreement
"), with
Perseus Acquisition/Recapitalization Fund, L.L.C., Perseus Market Opportunity
Fund, L.P. and Cardiac Science Co-Investment, L.P. (collectively, the
"
Senior
Note Holders
"). Mr.
Ray E. Newton III, a managing director of Perseus L.L.C. (an entity affiliated
with the Senior Note Holders), serves on the Company's Board of Directors as a
designee of the Senior Note Holders.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Senior Debt Amendment, the Company and the Senior Note
Holders agreed to
modify
certain financial covenants regarding minimum debt to capitalization and minimum
EBITDA contained in the Purchase Agreement to exclude the impact of the
Company's reduction of goodwill in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 (See Items
2.02 and 2.06 below). Additionally, the Senior Note Holders agreed to a limited
waiver of any covenant violations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 arising
out of such reduction in goodwill.
Item
2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May
10, 2005, the Company issued a press release revising the earnings release
originally issued on April 27, 2005, and reporting that the Company recorded a
non-cash reduction of goodwill of approximately $47.3 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1
and is incorporated herein by reference.
The
information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall
not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section,
nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by
specific reference in such a filing.
Item
2.06 Material Impairments.
Goodwill
is an intangible asset related to the Company's past acquisitions.
Under
generally accepted accounting principles, the Company is required to test the
carrying value of its goodwill on an annual basis, or whenever events or
circumstances indicate that a decrease in value may be warranted.
Due to
the recent decline in the Company's stock price relative to its book value per
share during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company prepared a goodwill
impairment analysis and, on or about May 9, 2005, concluded that the carrying
value of its goodwill should be reduced by approximately $47.3 million. Based on
the result of this goodwill impairment analysis, on May 10, 2005, the Company
issued its final earnings press release which superseded the preliminary
earnings press release issued on April 27, 2005 to reflect a non-cash reduction
of goodwill of approximately $47.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005
(See Item 2.02 above).
