Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Accuray Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Accuray”) is incorporated in Delaware. The Company designs, develops and sells advanced radiosurgery and radiation therapy systems for the treatment of tumors throughout the body. The Company conducts its business worldwide. The Company has its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, with additional locations in other regions in the United States, Europe and Asia.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity, Compact Particle Acceleration Corporation (“CPAC”) until its deconsolidation on December 21, 2012 (for further information, see “Note 9, Investment in CPAC”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014, for any other interim period or for any future year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended June 30, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to those audited consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassification

 

As a result of the deconsolidation of CPAC, the results of operations of CPAC and the losses attributable to the non-controlling interest recorded for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 have been presented as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company made reclassifications to its previously reported consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and consolidated statement of cash flows for the three month period ended September 30, 2012.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Key estimates and assumptions made by the Company relate to revenue recognition, business combinations and intangible asset impairment, inventories, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, loss contingencies and corporate bonus expenses and accruals. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Table of Contents

 

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are mainly deposited with several major financial institutions. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk on these balances.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no customers that represented 10% or more of total net revenue. At September 30, 2013, one customer accounted for 15% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2013, one customer accounted for 10% of accounts receivable.

 

Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. Accounts are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

 

Single source suppliers presently provide the Company with several components. In most cases, if a supplier was unable to deliver these components, the Company believes that it would be able to find other sources for these components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company earns revenue from the sale of products, the operation of its shared ownership program, and the provision of related services, which include post-contract customer support (“PCS”), installation services, training and other professional services. The Company records its revenues net of any value added or sales tax. For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates arrangement fees to product and services based upon Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of the respective elements, Third-Party Evidence (“TPE”), or Best Estimate of Selling Price (“BESP”), using the relative selling price method.

 

Product Revenue

 

The majority of product revenue is generated from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems. The Company sells its systems with PCS contracts, installation services, training, and at times, professional services. PCS contracts provide planned and corrective maintenance services, software updates, bug fixes, as well as call-center support. If the Company is responsible for installation, the Company recognizes revenue after installation and acceptance of the system. Otherwise, revenue is recognized upon delivery, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Service Revenue

 

Service revenue is generated primarily from PCS (warranty period services and post warranty services), installation services, training, and professional services. PCS revenue is deferred and recognized over the service period. Installation service revenue is recognized concurrent with system revenue. Training and professional service revenues that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the systems are recognized as such services are performed.

 

Costs associated with service revenue are expensed when incurred, except when those costs are related to system upgrades where revenue recognition has been deferred. In those cases, the costs are deferred and are recognized over the period of revenue recognition.

 

Shared Ownership Program

 

The Company also enters into arrangements under its shared ownership program with certain customers. These arrangements typically have a term of five years and provide the customer an option to purchase the system during the contractual term at pre-determined prices. Under the terms of this program, the Company retains title to its system, while the customer has use of the system. The Company generally receives a minimum monthly payment and earns additional revenues from the customer based upon its use of the system which are included in product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Long-Term Construction and Manufacturing Contracts

 

The Company recognizes revenue and cost of revenue related to long-term construction and manufacturing contracts using contract accounting on the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion or the completed contract method.  The Company records such revenue under other revenue and cost of such revenue under cost of other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Any loss provision identified from the total contract in the period is recorded as an increase to cost of revenue.

The potential dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), Market Stock Units (MSUs) and Performance-based Stock Units (PSUs), and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), as determined under the treasury stock method, are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due August 1, 2016 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes”) and the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 1, 2018 (the “3.50% Convertible Notes”) are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share if their inclusion is dilutive under the if-converted method. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the potential dilutive shares under the Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth all potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation in the table above because their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

In connection with the acquisition of TomoTherapy in fiscal year 2011, the Company recognized liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of purchase accounting. During its first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company determined that certain of these liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits were recorded in error. The Company evaluated the effects of this error on the financial statements and concluded that the error was not material to any prior annual or interim periods or the current period. In September of 2013, the Company reduced goodwill and accrued liabilities by $1.3 million to remove the liability recorded in error.

4. Financial Instruments

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments held at major banks, certificates of deposit and other securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

The Company classifies all of its investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase because it is management’s intent that these investments are available for current operations and includes these investments on its balance sheets as short-term investments. Investments with original maturities longer than three months include commercial paper and investment-grade corporate debt securities. Investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are recorded based on specific identification of each security’s cost basis.

 

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2— Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

 

·                  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

·                  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

·                  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

·                  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

 

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The Company’s Level 2 investments in the table above are classified as Level 2 items because quoted prices in an active market are not readily accessible for those specific financial assets, or the Company may have relied on alternative pricing methods that do not rely exclusively on quoted prices to determine the fair value of the investments.

 

The Company had investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2013. The Company determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments and (ii) it is not likely that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. As of September 30, 2013, the Company anticipates that it will recover the entire carrying value of such investments and has determined that no other-than-temporary impairments associated with credit losses were required to be recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The long-term debt is measured on a non-recurring basis using Level 2 inputs based upon observable inputs of the Company’s underlying stock price and the time value of the conversion option, since an observable quoted price of the Convertible Notes is not readily available.

 

5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company’s contractual obligations were presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the previous annual reporting period ended June 30, 2013. There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in those obligations during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Currently, management believes the Company does not have any probable and estimable losses related to any current legal proceedings and claims that would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results. For certain legal proceedings, management believes that there is a reasonable possibility that losses may be incurred. Management currently estimates a range of loss (in excess of amounts accrued) between zero and $3 million in the aggregate for such legal proceedings, where it is possible to make such estimates. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, the Company could incur significant charges related to legal matters that could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

Best Medical Trade Secret Litigation

 

On September 3, 2009, Best Medical International, Inc., or Best Medical, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, claiming that the Company induced certain individuals to leave the employment of Best Medical and join the Company in order to gain access to Best Medical’s confidential information and trade secrets. Best Medical is seeking monetary damages and other relief. On October 25, 2011, the court presiding over the case granted summary judgment in favor of the Company on all counts. On November 21, 2011, Best Medical filed a notice of appeal. On December 22, 2011, the Court awarded attorney fees and costs to the Company and ordered the Company to file an accounting of its fees and costs. Following the filing of the accounting of the Company’s fees and costs, the magistrate judge presiding over the case issued a report on the Company’s accounting and recommended an award to the Company in the amount of $512,090 in attorney fees and costs, which was adopted in its entirety by the district court on September 27, 2013. On July 3, 2013, the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued a briefing schedule for the appeal of this case. Best Medical’s brief was filed on September 16, 2013 and the Company’s brief is due on November 19, 2013.

 

Best Medical Patent Litigation

 

On August 6, 2010, Best Medical filed an additional lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, claiming that the Company has infringed U.S. Patent No. 5,596,619, a patent that Best Medical alleges protects a method and apparatus for conformal radiation therapy. In December 2010, Best Medical amended its complaint by claiming that the Company also infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 6,038,283 and 7,266,175, both of which Best Medical alleges cover methods and apparatus for conformal radiation therapy. In March 2011, the Court dismissed with prejudice all counts against the Company, except for two counts of alleged willful infringement of two of the patents. Following several procedural rulings by the court, Best Medical moved to voluntarily dismiss one of the two remaining patent claims on June 28, 2011, which the court granted on June 30, 2011, leaving only one patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,038,283) at issue in the case. The parties failed to a reach settlement during mandatory settlement conferences held in March and May 2013. Best Medical is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as unspecified compensatory and treble damages and other relief. The Company will continue to litigate this case, and discovery is expected to be completed by February 2014.

 

Rotary Systems

 

  On April 28, 2011, a former supplier to TomoTherapy, Rotary Systems Incorporated, filed suit in Minnesota state court, Tenth Judicial District, Anoka County, against TomoTherapy alleging misappropriation of trade secrets, as well as several other counts alleging various theories of injury. Rotary Systems alleges TomoTherapy misappropriated Rotary Systems’ trade secrets pertaining to a component previously purchased from Rotary Systems, which component TomoTherapy now purchases from a different supplier. The suit alleges TomoTherapy improperly supplied the alleged trade secrets to its present supplier, Dynamic Sealing Technologies Inc. (also a named defendant in the suit). Rotary Systems has made an unspecified claim for damages of greater than $50,000. TomoTherapy moved to dismiss the case on May 19, 2011, and on August 29, 2011, the court granted the motion to dismiss with respect to all counts other than the count alleging misappropriation of trade secrets. On May 21, 2012, the court granted the Company’s motion for sanctions, in part, and gave Rotary Systems sixty days to identify the alleged trade secrets with specificity or face dismissal of its claim with prejudice. The court held a hearing on September 20, 2012 to review Rotary System’s amended complaint and set a calendar for discovery. The court ruled on the amended complaint, and the parties have started discovery, which was originally expected to be completed by October 2013.  The parties have jointly asked the Court to extend discovery until February 2014.  The Company has filed a motion for summary judgment, but the Court has not yet ruled on the motion.

Sarif Biomedical Patent Litigation

 

On January 28, 2013, Sarif Biomedical filed a patent infringement complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for Delaware. The complaint alleges the Company’s CyberKnife System directly infringes U.S. Patent No. 5,755,725 and seeks unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement. Accuray filed an answer to the complaint in March 2013.

 

Software License Indemnity

 

Under the terms of the Company’s software license agreements with its customers, the Company agrees that in the event the software sold infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right of a third party, it will indemnify its customer licensees against any loss, expense, or liability from any damages that may be awarded against its customer. The Company includes this infringement indemnification in all of its software license agreements and selected managed services arrangements. In the event the customer cannot use the software or service due to infringement and the Company cannot obtain the right to use, replace or modify the license or service in a commercially feasible manner so that it no longer infringes, then the Company may terminate the license and provide the customer a refund of the fees paid by the customer for the infringing license or service. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with this indemnification, as it is not aware of any pending or threatened actions that represent probable losses as of September 30, 2013.

 

6. Acquisition

 

On July 16, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 90% of the outstanding shares of Morphormics, Inc., or Morphormics, a privately-held developer of medical imaging software based in North Carolina. This acquisition enables the Company to extend auto-contouring capabilities for both the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems to improve disease specific workflows. The Company previously held 10% of the outstanding shares of Morphormics, which had a carrying value of zero prior to the acquisition date and was valued at $0.7 million as of the acquisition date based on the fair value of the consideration paid. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, Morphormics’ results of operations were included in the consolidated financial statements from July 16, 2012. This transaction was not considered a material business combination, and Company did not incur significant severance or acquisition-related costs in connection with the transaction.

 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due August 2016

 

On August 1, 2011, the Company issued the 3.75% Convertible Notes to certain qualified institutional buyers, or QIBs. The 3.75% Convertible Notes were offered and sold to the QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Rule 144A. The net proceeds from the $100 million offering, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the related offering costs, were approximately $96.1 million. The offering costs and the initial purchaser’s discount and commission (which are recorded in Other Assets) are both being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The 3.75% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2012. The 3.75% Convertible Notes will mature on August 1, 2016, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

 

The 3.75% Convertible Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes may convert their 3.75% Convertible Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2016 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to May 1, 2016, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes may convert their 3.75% Convertible Notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2011, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period (such five consecutive trading-day period, the “Note Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes for each trading day of that Note Measurement Period was equal to or less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the 3.75% Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion by holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, the Company will have the right to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At any time on or prior to the 33rd business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may irrevocably elect to (a) deliver solely shares of common stock of the Company in respect of the Company’s conversion obligation or (b) pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes being converted. The initial conversion rate is 105.5548 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $9.47 per share of the Company’s common stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, are subject to adjustment as further described below.

 

 Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes who convert their 3.75% Convertible Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.75% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

 

On or after August 1, 2014 and prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes if the closing sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price (the initial conversion price is approximately $9.47 per share of common stock) of such 3.75% Convertible Notes for at least 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading-day period (including the last trading day of such period).

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity conversion components of the 3.75% Convertible Notes. The principal amount of the liability component of the 3.75% Convertible Notes was $75.9 million as of the date of issuance based on the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 10%, our approximate borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature.

The carrying value of the equity conversion component was $24.1 million. A portion of the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the offering costs totaling $0.9 million was allocated to the equity conversion component. The liability component is being accreted to the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes using the effective interest method over five years.

3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 2018

 

In February 2013, the Company issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Convertible Notes to certain QIBs. The 3.50% Convertible Notes were offered and sold to the QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the related offering costs, were approximately $110.5 million. The offering costs and the initial purchaser’s discount and commission (which are recorded in Other Assets) are both being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The 3.50% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2013. The 3.50% Convertible Notes will mature on February 1, 2018, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

 

The 3.50% Convertible Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes may convert their 3.50% Convertible Notes at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The 3.50% Convertible Notes are convertible, as described below, into common stock of Accuray at an initial conversion rate equal to 187.6877 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment.

 

Holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes who convert their 3.50% Convertible Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.50% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

 

 In accordance with guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, the Company determined that the embedded conversion components of the 3.50% Convertible Note do not require bifurcation and separate accounting. The $115.0 million principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Note has been recorded in Long-term Debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013.

9. Investment in CPAC

 

In April 2008, TomoTherapy established a new affiliate, CPAC, to develop a compact proton therapy system for the treatment of cancer. Between the date of formation of CPAC through December 2012, the Company and TomoTherapy contributed both cash and intellectual property to CPAC, resulting in a combined equity interest of approximately 15.4% of the outstanding stock of CPAC and approximately 16.3% on a fully diluted basis. As of the Company’s acquisition of TomoTherapy on June 10, 2011, the Company determined that CPAC was a variable interest entity or VIE, as CPAC depended on the Company, TomoTherapy and other investors to fund its operations. Under the accounting standards for consolidating variable interest entities, the consolidating investor is the entity with the power to direct the activities of the venture that most significantly impact the venture’s economic performance and with the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the venture that could potentially be significant to the venture. Although the Company and its subsidiary held less than a 50% ownership interest in CPAC, it was determined that the Company met these two characteristics, and therefore, was the primary beneficiary of CPAC. The Company consolidated the results of operations of CPAC from June 10, 2011 to December 21, 2012.

 

On December 21, 2012, the Company and CPAC entered into a Purchase Agreement and Release, or Purchase Agreement, which provided for all the equity and debt investments held by the Company in CPAC to be purchased by CPAC for a nominal consideration. In addition, the Company assigned all its rights to the Dielectric Wall Accelerator, or DWA technology licensed from Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC to CPAC. As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company concluded that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of CPAC since it did not have any variable interest in CPAC. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company deconsolidated CPAC and recorded a loss of $3.4 million, resulting from the write-down of the carrying value of CPAC’s net liabilities, the write-off of receivables from CPAC and the non-controlling interest in CPAC, net of cash consideration received. The results of operations of CPAC, including the loss on deconsolidation of CPAC and the losses attributable to the non-controlling interest recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2012 have been disclosed as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

 

The components of comprehensive loss consist of net loss, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments and foreign currency translation. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments and foreign currency translation are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. The foreign currency translation adjustment results from those subsidiaries not using the United States dollar as their functional currency since the majority of their economic activities are primarily denominated in their applicable local currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities related to these operations are translated at the current exchange rates at the end of each period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period.

Overview

 

Products and Markets

 

We believe we are a leading radiation oncology company with a history of rapid innovations. Our leading edge technologies are designed specifically to deliver radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, image guided radiation therapy and adaptive radiation therapy that is tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Our suite of products includes the CyberKnife® Systems and the TomoTherapy® Systems. The systems are generally complementary offerings, serving generally separate patient populations treated by the same medical specialty.

 

The CyberKnife Systems are robotic systems designed to deliver radiosurgery treatments to cancer tumors anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife Systems are the only dedicated, full body robotic radiosurgery systems on the market. Radiosurgery is an alternative to traditional surgery for tumors and is performed on an outpatient basis in one to five treatment sessions. It allows for the treatment of patients who otherwise would not be treated with radiation, who may not be good candidates for surgery, or who desire non-surgical treatments. The use of radiosurgery with CyberKnife Systems to treat tumors throughout the body has grown significantly in recent years, but currently represents only a small portion of the patients who develop tumors treatable with CyberKnife Systems. A determination of when it may or may not be appropriate to use a CyberKnife System for treatment is at the discretion of the treating physician and depends on the specific patient. However, given the CyberKnife Systems’ design to treat focal tumors, the CyberKnife Systems are generally not used to treat (1) very large tumors, which are considerably wider than the radiation beam that can be delivered by CyberKnife Systems, (2) diffuse wide-spread disease, as is often the case for late stage cancers, because they are not localized (though CyberKnife Systems might be used to treat a focal area of the disease) and (3) systemic disease, like leukemias and lymphomas, which are not localized to an organ, but rather involve cells throughout the body.

 

In October 2012, we introduced our new CyberKnife M6 Series Systems that come in configurations that have the option of: fixed collimator, iris collimator, and/or multi-leaf collimator, or MLC. The initial supplier producing the MLC for our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems has experienced low manufacturing yields and has been able to deliver only a small number of units. Our life-cycle testing revealed that the initial units did not have the durability that we, and our customers, expect in our products. Currently we expect a limited release of the MLC for the CyberKnife systems in June of 2014. Our expectation is that the device will have original design specifications, but will be with modifications to our supply chain and quality control processes to ensure improved yield and durability. While we are confident in our path forward, due to the complexity of the MLC, there is still some risk in this project that could cause further delays. In the meantime, and despite the delay in the launch of the MLC upgrade, we are continuing to book orders and install the CyberKnife M6 Series Systems with fixed and iris collimators.

Table of Contents

 

We believe that the long - term success of the CyberKnife System is dependent on a number of factors including the following:

 

·                  Adoption of our recently introduced new CyberKnife M6 Series Systems;

 

·                  Production and shipment of our MLC that meets the standards that we, and our customers, expect in our products;

 

·                  Change in medical practice to utilize radiosurgery more regularly as an alternative to surgery or other treatments;

 

·                  Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the benefits of radiosurgery with the CyberKnife Systems;

 

·                  Continued evolution in clinical studies demonstrating the safety, efficacy and other benefits of using the CyberKnife Systems to treat tumors in various parts of the body;

 

·                  Continued advances in technology that improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of the CyberKnife Systems;

 

·                  Improved access to radiosurgery with the CyberKnife Systems in various countries through regulatory approvals;

 

·                  Medical insurance reimbursement policies that cover CyberKnife System treatments; and

 

·                  Expansion of sales of CyberKnife Systems in countries throughout the world.

 

The TomoTherapy Systems are advanced, fully integrated and versatile radiation therapy systems for the treatment of a wide range of cancer types. We began selling TomoTherapy Systems after our acquisition of TomoTherapy Incorporated on June 10, 2011. In October 2012, we introduced our new TomoTherapy H Series Systems that come in configurations of TomoHTM, TomoHDTM and TomoHDATM. Radiation therapy is used in a variety of ways, often to treat tissue surrounding a tumor area after surgical removal of the tumor and also as the primary treatment for tumors. Radiation therapy treatments impact both cancer cells as well as healthy tissue; therefore the total prescribed radiation dose is divided into many fractions and delivered in an average of 25 to 35 treatment sessions over several weeks. Radiation therapy has been widely available and used in developed countries for decades, though many developing countries do not currently have a sufficient number of radiation therapy systems to adequately treat their domestic cancer patient populations. The number of radiation therapy systems in use and sold each year is currently many times larger than the number of radiosurgery systems. Large companies, including Varian Medical Systems, Inc. and Elekta AB, generate most of the sales in this market. We believe the TomoTherapy Systems offer clinicians and patients significant benefits over other radiation therapy systems in the market. We believe our ability to capture more sales in this established market will be influenced by a number of factors including the following:

 

·                  Adoption of our recently introduced new TomoTherapy H Series Systems;

 

·                  Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the benefits of radiation therapy using TomoTherapy Systems;

 

·                  Advances in technology which improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of TomoTherapy Systems;

 

·                  Greater awareness among doctors of the improvement in reliability of TomoTherapy Systems; and

 

·                  Expansion of TomoTherapy System sales in countries throughout the world.

 

Sale of Our Products

 

Generating revenue from the sale of our systems is a lengthy process. Selling our systems, from first contact with a potential customer to a signed sales contract that meets backlog criteria, generally spans six months to two years. The time from receipt of a signed contract to revenue recognition is governed generally by the time required by the customer to build, renovate or prepare the treatment room for installation of the system. This time varies significantly, generally from six to twenty-four months.

 

In the United States, we market to customers, including hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities, directly through our sales organization. Outside the United States, we market to customers in over 80 countries directly and through distributors. We have sales and service offices in Japan and many countries in Europe and Asia.

International sales of our products account for a significant portion of our total net revenue. Revenue derived from sales outside of the United States was $37.4 million and $46.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and represented 49% and 57% of our net sales during these periods, respectively.

 

Backlog

 

We report backlog in the following manner:

 

·                  Products: Orders for systems, upgrades excluding those acquired through the upgrade rights included in our Diamond service contracts, and our shared ownership program are reported in backlog, excluding amounts attributable to PCS (warranty period services and post warranty services), installation, training and professional services.

 

·                  Service:  Orders for PCS, upgrades acquired through the upgrade rights included in our Diamond service contracts, installation services, training and professional services are not reported in backlog.

 

For orders that cover both products and services, only the portion of the order that is recognized as product revenue is reported as backlog. The portion of the order that is recognized as service revenue (for example, PCS) is not included in reported backlog. Product backlog totaled $347.8 million as of September 30, 2013. This included $36.7 million of orders for either new CyberKnife M6 Systems configured with an MLC or orders for MLC units to upgrade existing installed CyberKnife M6 Systems. Additionally, for $23.9 million of CyberKnife orders, the customer has the option to upgrade to the new platform (M6) if the CyberKnife M6 Series is approved by regulatory authorities in their country prior to shipment. Product backlog totaled $294.3 million as of September 30, 2012.

 

In order for the product portion of a sales agreement to be counted as backlog, it must meet the following criteria:

 

·                  The contract is signed and properly executed by both the customer and us. A customer purchase order that is signed and incorporates the terms of our contract quote will be considered equivalent to a signed and executed contract;

 

·                  The contract is non-contingent—it either has cleared all its contingencies or contains no contingencies when signed;

 

·                  We have received a minimum deposit or a letter of credit; the sale is a direct channel sale to a government entity, or the product has shipped to a customer with credit sufficient to cover the minimum deposit;

 

·                  The specific end customer site has been identified by the customer in the written contract or written amendment; and

 

·                  Less than 2.5 years have passed since the contract met all the criteria above.

 

Although our backlog includes only contractual agreements from our customers to purchase CyberKnife Systems or TomoTherapy Systems, we cannot provide assurance that we will convert backlog into recognized revenue due to factors outside our control, which includes, without limitation, changes in customers’ needs or financial condition, changes in government or health insurance reimbursement policies, changes to regulatory requirements, or other reasons for cancellation of orders.

Total product revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $11 million, or 27%, from the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to a lower number of units sold, a decrease in product upgrade revenue and an increase in the number of units sold with extended payment terms, for which revenue is deferred until payment is received. We recognized revenue on 13 units during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 15 units during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Services revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $5.0 million, or 12%, from the three months ended September 30, 2012. Service revenues were higher in the three months ended September 30, 2013 by $4.0 million due mainly to an increase in our installed base and sales of higher priced maintenance contracts (particularly to customers using the TomoTherapy systems). The remaining increase of $0.9 million was mostly due to an increase in installation revenue due to providing direct installation services rather than using a third-party service provider, as well as sales of spare parts to our distributors. We expect our service revenue to increase as our installed base continues to grow.

Gross margins during the three months ended September 30, 2013 improved by 5.9 percentage points as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, driven by higher service margins that were partially offset by lower product margins. Product margins were lower during the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to a change in product mix, partially offset by the reduction in intangible asset amortization related to the acquisition of TomoTherapy on June 10, 2011. Service margins were higher during the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to increased reliability of the TomoTherapy Systems.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred interest expense of $3.4 million related to our 3.75% Convertible Notes and 3.50% Convertible Notes. This was partially offset by gains of $0.7 million from foreign currency transactions primarily due to the appreciation of the Euro and the Swiss Franc against the U.S. Dollar.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred interest expense of $2.1 million related to our 3.75% Convertible Notes. This was partially offset by gains of $0.9 million from foreign currency transactions primarily due to the appreciation of the Japanese Yen against the U.S. Dollar and recognition of a $0.7 million gain on our previously held equity interest in Morphormics, Inc., resulting from our acquisition of Morphormics on July 16, 2012. See Note 6, “Acquisition” for further details.

On a quarterly basis, we provide for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded income tax expense of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings in international locations.

 

Loss from Discontinued Operations

 

As a result of the deconsolidation of CPAC in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the results of operations of CPAC and the losses attributable to the non-controlling interest recorded for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 have been presented as discontinued operations.

Impairment of Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

 

We incurred $12.2 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of our IPR&D asset during the three months ended September 30, 2012 based on results of research and development work carried out by CPAC, a variable interest entity consolidated by us until December 2012. See Note 3, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for details.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2013, we had $62.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $99.2 million in short-term investments, for a total of $161.6 million. We expect to use cash for the balance of fiscal 2014 driven primarily by operating losses and capital expenditures. Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to the risks included in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” of Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013. Also refer to Note 8, “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the Convertible Notes. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources and anticipated cash flows to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

 

In addition, the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2013 are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for distribution in the form of dividends or otherwise. Accordingly, no provisions for U.S. income taxes have been provided thereon. We anticipate that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources and would not need to repatriate earnings. As of September 30, 2013, we have approximately $42 million of cash at our foreign subsidiaries.

 

Our cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 which was attributable to a net loss of $15.5 million, a net change in assets and liabilities of $5.8 million, and $10.0 million of non-cash charges. Non-cash charges primarily included depreciation and amortization expenses of $5.4 million, share-based compensation expenses of $2.2 million, accretion of interest expense on the 3.75% Convertible Notes of $1.1 million and provision for write-down of inventories of $0.8 million. Net change in assets and liabilities was primarily attributed to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.0 million due to higher billings in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, an increase in inventory of $6.8 million due to inventory purchases and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.7 million due to prepayments of insurance premiums and sales commissions. This was partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to timing of vendor payments, accrued bonuses and employee withholdings related to the employee stock purchase plan, an increase in customer advances of $1.9 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $1.4 million.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 which was attributable to a net loss of $36.2 million, offset by $22.6 million of non-cash charges and cash provided by working capital changes of $0.5 million. Non-cash charges primarily included $12.2 million of impairment charges related to IPR&D assets, depreciation and amortization expenses of $7.8 million, share-based compensation expenses of $1.8 million and accretion of interest expense on the Convertible Notes of $1.0 million. Cash provided by working capital was primarily attributed to decreases in accounts receivable of $10.8 million due to higher collections and lower billings and increases in accounts payable of $9.8 million due to timing of vendor payments. This was partially offset by increases in prepayment and other assets of $3.7 million due to payment of insurance premiums and increases in long-term receivables and decreases in accrued liabilities of $14.9 million due to payment of bonuses, reduction of vacation accruals, payments for inventory buy-back obligations and other liabilities.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which primarily consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $3.2 million, purchases of investments of $5.1 million and sales and maturities of short-term investments of $6.8 million.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which primarily consisted of the purchase of property and equipment of $5.3 million and $3.9 million related to the acquisition of Morphormics.

 

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

 

Cash flows from financing activities consisted of proceeds from issuance of common stock due to stock option exercises of $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

 

Our future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. These factors include but are not limited to the following:

 

·                  Revenue generated by sales of our products, our shared ownership program and service plans;

 

·                  Costs associated with our sales and marketing initiatives and manufacturing activities;

 

·                  Facilities, equipment and IT systems required to support current and future operations;

 

·                  Rate of progress and cost of our research and development activities;

 

·                  Costs of obtaining and maintaining FDA and other regulatory clearances of our products;

 

·                  Effects of competing technological and market developments;

 

·                  Number and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions; and

 

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least 12 months. If our cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Additional financing may not be available at all, or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

We presented our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the previous annual reporting period ended June 30, 2013. There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in those obligations during the current quarter.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates if actual conditions differ from our assumptions.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there have been no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, which we believe are those related to revenue recognition, business combinations and intangible asset impairment, inventories, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, loss contingencies and corporate bonus expense and accruals.

Item 3.                                   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products outside the United States. For direct sales outside the United States, we sell in both U.S. dollars and local currencies, which could expose us to additional foreign currency risks, including changes in currency exchange rates. Our operating expenses in countries outside the United States, are payable in foreign currencies and therefore expose us to currency risk. To the extent that management can predict the timing of payments under sales contracts or for operating expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate such risks in the future.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At any time, a sharp rise or decline in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Likewise, increases and decreases in interest rates could have a material impact on interest earnings for our portfolio. The following table presents the hypothetical change in fair values in the financial instruments we held at September 30, 2013 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The modeling technique used measures the change in fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio, which had a fair value of $99.2 million at September 30, 2013. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 100, 75, 50 and 25 basis points (in thousands).

Equity Price Risk

 

On August 1, 2011, we issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, we can settle the obligation by issuing our common stock, cash or a combination thereof at an initial conversion rate equal to 105.5548 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $9.47 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. There is no equity price risk if the share price of our common stock is below $9.47 upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. For every $1 that the share price of our common stock exceeds $9.47, we expect to issue an additional $10.6 million in cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, if all of the Convertible Notes are converted.

 

Item 4.                                   Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2013 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or

 

25



Table of Contents

 

improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.                                               Legal Proceedings.

 

Please refer to Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements above for a description of certain legal proceedings currently pending against the Company.  From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Item 1A.                                      Risk Factors.

 

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is included under “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions below include material changes to the risk factors affecting our business that were previously disclosed in such filing. Any risk factor included below supersedes the description of the relevant risk factor in such filing. Other than the items discussed below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since such filing.

 

We have a large accumulated deficit, may incur future losses and may be unable to achieve profitability.

 

As of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $335.2 million. We may incur net losses in the future, particularly as we resolve manufacturing and supply issues with the MLC option for our new CyberKnife M6 Series and improve our selling and marketing activities. Our ability to achieve and sustain long-term profitability is largely dependent on our ability to successfully market and sell the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and to control our costs and effectively manage our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve profitability. In the event we fail to achieve profitability, our stock price could decline.

 

If the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems do not achieve widespread market acceptance, we will not be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our business.

 

Achieving physician, patient, hospital administrator and third-party payor acceptance of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems as preferred methods of tumor treatment will be crucial to our continued success. Physicians will not begin to use or increase the use of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems unless they determine, based on experience, clinical data and other factors, that the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are safe and effective alternatives to traditional treatment methods. We often need to educate physicians about the use of stereotactic radiosurgery, image guided radiation therapy (“IGRT”) and adaptive radiation therapy, convince healthcare payors that the benefits of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and their related treatment processes outweigh their costs and help train qualified physicians in the skilled use of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. For example, the complexity and dynamic nature of stereotactic radiosurgery and Robotic intensity modulated radiation therapy (“IMRT”) as well as adaptive radiation therapy and IGRT, require significant education of hospital personnel and physicians regarding the benefits of stereotactic radiosurgery and Robotic IMRT, as well as adaptive radiation therapy and IGRT, and require departures from their customary practices. We have expended and will continue to expend significant resources on marketing and educational efforts to create awareness of stereotactic radiosurgery and Robotic IMRT as well as adaptive radiation therapy and IGRT generally and to encourage the acceptance and adoption of our products for these technologies.

 

The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are major capital purchases, and purchase decisions are greatly influenced by hospital administrators who are subject to increasing pressures to reduce costs. These and other factors, including the following, may affect the rate and level of market acceptance of each of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems:

 

·                  The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems’ price relative to other products or competing treatments;

 

·                  Our ability to develop new products and enhancements and receive regulatory clearances and approval, if required, to existing products in a timely manner;

 

·                  Effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;

 

·                  The impact of the current economic environment on our business and our customers’ business, including the postponement by our customers of purchase decisions or required build-outs;

 

26



Table of Contents

 

·                  Capital equipment budgets of healthcare institutions;

 

·                  Increased scrutiny by state boards when evaluating certificates of need requested by purchasing institutions;

 

·                  Perception by patients, physicians and other members of the healthcare community of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems’ safety, efficacy, efficiency and benefits compared to competing technologies or treatments;

 

·                  Publication in peer-reviewed medical journals of data regarding the successful use and longer term clinical benefits of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems;

 

·                  Willingness of physicians to adopt new techniques and the ability of physicians to acquire the skills necessary to operate the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems;

 

·                  Extent of third-party coverage and reimbursement rates, particularly from Medicare, for procedures using the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems;

 

·                  Development of new products and technologies by our competitors or new treatment alternatives;

 

·                  Regulatory developments related to manufacturing, marketing and selling the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems both within and outside the United States;

 

·                  Perceived liability risks arising from the use of new products; and

 

·                  Unfavorable publicity concerning the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems or radiation-based treatment alternatives.

 

If the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems are unable to achieve or maintain market acceptance, new orders and sales of our systems would be adversely affected, our revenue levels would decrease and our business would be harmed.

 

In October 2012, we introduced our new CyberKnife M6 Series Systems that come in configurations that have the option of: fixed collimator, iris collimator, and/or multi-leaf collimator, or MLC. The initial supplier producing the MLC for our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems has experienced low manufacturing yields and has been able to deliver only a small number of units. Our life-cycle testing revealed that the initial units did not have the durability that we, and our customers, expect in our products. Currently we expect a limited release of the MLC for the CyberKnife systems in June of 2014. Our expectation is that the device will have original design specifications, but will be with modifications to our supply chain and quality control processes to ensure improved yield and durability. While we are confident in our path forward, due to the complexity of the MLC, there is still some risk in this project that could cause further delays. In the meantime, and despite the delay in the launch of the MLC upgrade, we are continuing to book orders and install the CyberKnife M6 Series Systems with fixed and iris collimators.

 

We have limited experience and capability in manufacturing. If we encounter manufacturing problems, or if our manufacturing facilities do not continue to meet federal, state or foreign manufacturing standards, we may be required to temporarily cease all or part of our manufacturing operations, which would result in delays and lost revenue.

 

The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are complex, and require the integration of a number of components from several sources of supply. We must manufacture and assemble these complex systems in commercial quantities in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost. We have a limited history of manufacturing commercial quantities of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. In particular, we manufacture compact linacs as a component of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. Our linac components are extremely complex devices and require significant expertise to manufacture, and as a result of our limited manufacturing experience we may have difficulty producing needed materials in a commercially viable manner. We may encounter difficulties in scaling up production of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems, including problems with quality control and assurance, component supply shortages, increased costs, shortages of qualified personnel, the long lead time required to develop additional radiation-shielded facilities for purposes of testing our products and/or difficulties associated with compliance with local, state, federal and foreign regulatory requirements. If our manufacturing capacity does not keep pace with product demand, we will not be able to fulfill orders in a timely manner which in turn may have a negative effect on our financial results and overall business. Conversely, if demand for our products decreases, the fixed costs associated with excess manufacturing capacity may adversely affect our financial results.

Table of Contents

 

Our manufacturing processes and the manufacturing processes of our third-party suppliers are required to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR. The QSR is a complex regulatory scheme that covers the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production process, controls, manufacturing, labeling, quality assurance, packaging, storage and shipping of our products. Furthermore, we are required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality requirements. We are also subject to state licensing and other requirements and licenses applicable to manufacturers of medical devices, and we are required to comply with International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, quality system standards in order to produce products for sale in Europe, as well as various other foreign laws and regulations. Because our manufacturing processes include the production of diagnostic and therapeutic X-ray equipment and laser equipment, we are subject to the electronic product radiation control provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which requires that we file reports with the FDA, applicable states and our customers regarding the distribution, manufacturing and installation of these types of equipment. The FDA enforces the QSR and the electronic product radiation control provisions through periodic inspections, some of which may be unannounced. We have been, and anticipate in the future being subject to such inspections. FDA inspections usually occur every two to three years. During such inspections, the FDA may issue Inspectional Observations on Form FDA 483, listing instances where the manufacturer has failed to comply with applicable regulations and procedures, or warning letters. Our Sunnyvale facility, where we manufacture the CyberKnife Systems, was most recently inspected by the FDA in June 2012. The 2012 inspection resulted in several observations. The initial classification of the inspection is considered to be Voluntary Action Indicated. We have undertaken corrective actions in response to the FDA’s observations. In addition, our Madison facility, where we manufacture the TomoTherapy System, was most recently inspected by the FDA in July 2012. The 2012 inspection resulted in no observations.

 

If a manufacturer does not adequately address the observations, the FDA may take enforcement action against the manufacturer, including the imposition of fines, restriction of the ability to export product, total shutdown of production facilities and criminal prosecution. If we or a third-party supplier receive a Form FDA 483 with material or major observations that are not promptly corrected, fail to pass a QSR inspection, or fail to comply with these, ISO and other applicable regulatory requirements, our operations could be disrupted and our ability to generate sales could be delayed. Our failure to take prompt and satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse inspection or our failure to comply with applicable standards could result in enforcement actions, including a public warning letter, a shutdown of our manufacturing operations, a recall of our products, civil or criminal penalties, or other sanctions, which would cause our sales and business to suffer. In addition, because some foreign regulatory approvals are based on approvals or clearances from the FDA, any failure to comply with FDA requirements may also disrupt our sales of products in other countries. We cannot assure you that the FDA or other governmental authorities would agree with our interpretation of applicable regulatory requirements or that we or our third-party suppliers have in all instances fully complied with all applicable requirements. If any of these events occurs, our reputation could be harmed, we could lose customers and there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we cannot achieve the required level and quality of production, we may need to outsource production or rely on licensing and other arrangements with third parties who possess sufficient manufacturing facilities and capabilities in compliance with regulatory requirements. Even if we could outsource needed production or enter into licensing or other third party arrangements, this could reduce our gross margin and expose us to the risks inherent in relying on others. We also cannot assure you that our suppliers will deliver an adequate supply of required components on a timely basis or that they will adequately comply with the QSR. Failure to obtain these components on a timely basis would disrupt our manufacturing processes and increase our costs, which would harm our operating results.

 

As a strategy to assist our sales efforts, we may offer extended payment terms, which may potentially result in higher Days Sales Outstanding and greater payment defaults.

 

We offer longer or extended payment terms for qualified customers in some circumstances. As of September 30, 2013, customer contracts with extended payment terms of more than one year amounted to less than 7% of our accounts receivable balance. While we qualify customers to whom we offer longer or extended payment terms, their financial positions may change adversely over the longer time period given for payment. This may result in an increase in payment defaults, which would affect our revenue, as we recognize revenue on such transactions on a cash basis.

 

We rely on third parties to perform spare parts shipping and other logistics functions on our behalf. A failure or disruption at our logistics providers would adversely impact our business.

 

Customer service is a critical element of our sales strategy. Third-party logistics providers store most of our spare parts inventory in depots around the world and perform a significant portion of our spare parts logistics and shipping activities. If any of our logistics providers suffers an interruption in its business, or experiences delays, disruptions or quality control problems in its operations, or we have to change and qualify alternative logistics providers for our spare parts, shipments of spare parts to our customers may be delayed and our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our liquidity could be adversely impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

 

At September 30, 2013, we had $62.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $99.2 million in investments. The available cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third party financial institutions and consist of cash in our operating accounts and cash invested in money market funds and certificates of deposit. The investments are managed by third party financial institutions and consist of U.S. corporate debt securities and commercial paper. To date, we have experienced no realized losses on or lack of access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or investments; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

 

At any point in time, we also have funds in our operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. While we monitor daily the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or become subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.

 

Our major stockholders own approximately 67% and directors and executive officers own approximately 0.8% of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2013, which could limit other stockholders’ ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including changes of control.

 

As of September 30, 2013, our current holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock held in the aggregate approximately 67% of our outstanding common stock, while our directors and executive officers held in the aggregate approximately 0.8% of our outstanding common stock. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change of control of our company and will make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

 

Increased leverage as a result of the Convertible Notes offering may harm our financial condition and operating results.

 

As of September 30, 2013, we had total consolidated long-term liabilities of approximately $215.5 million, including the liability component of the 3.75% Convertible Notes in the amount of $84.9 million and the 3.50% Convertible Notes in the amount of $115.0 million.

 

Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences to stockholders and note holders, because:

 

·                  It could affect our ability to satisfy our obligations under the Convertible Notes;

 

·                  A substantial portion of our cash flows from operations will have to be dedicated to interest and principal payments and may not be available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, expansion, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes;

 

·                  It may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future;

 

·                  It may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry; and

 

·                  It may make us more vulnerable to downturns in our business, our industry or the economy in general.

B.                                    Executive’s employment with the Company and any of its parents, direct or indirect subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, or related entities (collectively referred to herein as the “Company and its Related Entities”) will be ended on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

Agreement

2.                                      End of Employment and Service as a Director. Executive’s employment with the Company and its Related Entities has ended or will end effective as of 5:00 pm Pacific Time, on September 2, 2013 (the “Termination Date”). If Executive is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and/or its Related Entities (collectively, the “Board”) Executive hereby voluntarily resigns from the Board, effective as of September 2, 2013.

 

3.                                      Continuation of Benefits After the Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the plan documents governing the Company’s employee benefit plans, after the Termination Date, Executive will no longer be eligible for, receive, accrue, or participate in any other benefits or benefit plans provided by the Company and its Related Entities, including, without limitation, medical, dental and life insurance benefits, and the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall waive Executive’s right to any vested benefits, including vested amounts in the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan, which amounts shall be handled as provided in the plan.

 

4.                                      Payments Upon TerminationExecutive will be entitled to receive payment of the following:  (i) all earned but unpaid compensation (including accrued unpaid vacation)

 



 

through the effective date of termination, payable on or before the termination date; and (ii) reimbursement, made in accordance with Section 4(e) of the Employment Agreement, of any monies advanced or incurred by Executive in connection with his/her employment for reasonable and necessary Company-related expenses incurred on or before the Termination Date.  The provisions of this Agreement shall not waive or terminate any rights to compensation or vested benefits under the Company’s benefits plans or as required by law, or to indemnification Executive may have under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or separate indemnification agreement, as applicable.

 

5.                                      Severance Benefits or Enhanced Severance BenefitsIn return for Executive’s promises in this Agreement, the Company will provide Executive with the Severance Benefits or Enhanced Severance Benefits as defined in Sections 5(a) and 5(e) of the Employment Agreement and as applicable based on the nature of the termination, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 16 thereof.  The Severance Benefits or Enhanced Severance Benefits will be paid as specified in Section 5(a) or Section 5(e) of the Employment Agreement, as applicable and shall be subject to required withholdings and authorized deductions and to Section 21 below.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Severance Period” means six (6) months, regardless of whether Executive receives the Severance Benefits or the Enhanced Severance Benefits.

 

6.                                      Effect of Revocation or Subsequent Employment.

 

(a)                                 If Executive properly revokes this Agreement in accordance with Section 13 below, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the payments and benefits under Section 5, above, except that Executive’s rights under COBRA will continue.

 

(b)                                 The Company’s obligation to reimburse premiums for insurance coverage under COBRA or otherwise will be extinguished as of the date Executive’s coverage begins under the group health plan of any new employer.  If Executive violates the restrictions in Section 17, below, the Company’s obligation to pay premiums for insurance under COBRA or otherwise will be immediately extinguished, and the other remedies specified in Section 17, below, shall apply.

 

7.                                      Acknowledgement of Total Compensation and Indebtedness.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

ACCURAY CONFIDENTIAL

 



 

Agreement,  (b) criminal conduct or acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence by Executive during his/her employment with the Company, or (c) recoupment of all or a portion of any previously awarded bonus or equity award pursuant to the Company’s Recoupment (Clawback) Policy that was in effect when the bonus was paid or the equity award vested or was exercised by Executive, whichever was later.

 

13.                               Review and Revocation Rights. Executive hereby is advised of the following:

 

(a)                                 Executive has the right to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement and is encouraged by the Company to do so;

(c)                                  Executive has seven (7) days after signing this Agreement to revoke this Agreement, and this Agreement will not be effective until that revocation period has expired without revocation. Executive agrees that in order to exercise his/her right to revoke this Agreement within such seven (7) day period, he must do so in a signed writing delivered to the Company’s Board before the close of business on the seventh calendar day after he signs this Agreement.

 

14.                               Confidentiality of Agreement. After the execution of this Agreement by Executive, neither Executive, his/her attorney, nor any person acting by, through, under or in concert with them, shall disclose any of the terms of or amount paid under this Agreement (other than to state that the Company has filed this Agreement and/or agreements related thereto as public documents) or the negotiation thereof to any individual or entity; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent such disclosures by Executive to his/her attorney, tax advisors and/or immediate family members, or as may be required by law.

 

15.                               No Filings. Executive represents that he has not filed any lawsuits, claims, charges or complaints, which are pending as of the date hereof, against the Company Releasees with any local, state or federal agency or court from the beginning of time to the date of execution of this Agreement, and that Executive is not aware of any facts that would support any Claims or any compliance-related or code of ethics violations of any kind whatsoever against the Company Releasees, including without limitation any claims for any work-related injuries.  If Executive hereafter commences, joins in, or in any manner seeks relief through any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating to any of the Claims released in this Agreement, or in any manner asserts against the Company Releasees any of the Claims released in this Agreement, then Executive agrees to pay to the Company Releasees against whom such Claim(s) is asserted, in addition to any other damages caused thereby, all attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company Releasees in defending or otherwise responding to the suit or Claim; provided, however, that this provision shall not obligate Executive to pay the Company Releasees’ attorneys’ fees in any action challenging the release of claims under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act or the ADEA, unless otherwise allowed by law. If any governmental agency or court ever assumes jurisdiction over any such lawsuit, claim, charge or complaint and/or purports to bring any legal proceeding, in whole or in part, on behalf of Executive based upon events occurring prior to the

 

 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

ACCURAY CONFIDENTIAL

 



 

execution of this Agreement, Executive will request such agency or court to withdraw from and/or to dismiss the lawsuit, claim, charge or complaint with prejudice.

 

16.                               Confidential and Proprietary Information. Executive acknowledges that certain information, observations and data obtained by him during the course of or related to his/her employment with the Company and its Related Entities (including, without limitation, projection programs, business plans, business matrix programs (i.e., measurement of business), strategic financial projections, certain financial information, shareholder information, technology and product design information, marketing plans or proposals, personnel information, customer lists and other customer information) are the sole property of the Company and its Related Entities and constitute Proprietary Information as defined in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement.  Executive represents and warrants that he has returned all files, customer lists, financial information and other property of the Company and its Related Entities that were in Executive’s possession or control without retaining copies thereof.  Executive further represents and warrants that he does not have in his/her possession or control any files, customer lists, financial information or other property of the Company and its Related Entities. In addition to his/her promises in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, Executive agrees that he will not disclose to any person or use any such information, observations or data without the written consent of the Board.  If Executive is served with a deposition subpoena or other legal process calling for the disclosure of such information, or if he is contacted by any third person requesting such information, he will notify the Board as soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving notice and will reasonably cooperate with the Company and its Related Entities in minimizing the disclosure thereof; provided, that nothing in this Agreement will affect Executive’s obligations to testify truthfully in response to any subpoena or other legally required discovery proceeding.

 

17.                               Prohibited Activities.

 

(a)                                 Non-Solicitation of Customers and Other Business Partners.  Executive recognizes that by virtue of his/her employment with the Company, he will be introduced to and involved in the solicitation and servicing of existing customers and other business partners of the Company and new customers and business partners obtained by the Company during his/her employment.  Executive understands and agrees that all efforts expended in soliciting and servicing such customers and business partners shall be for the benefit of the Company.  Executive further agrees that during his/her employment with the Company he will not engage in any conduct which could in any way jeopardize or disturb any of the customer and business partner relationships of the Company.  In addition, Executive agrees that, for a period beginning on the Effective Date and ending twelve (12) months after termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for such termination, Executive shall not use any Proprietary Information to, directly or indirectly, solicit, direct, interfere with, or entice away from the Company any existing customer, licensee, licensor, vendor, contractor or distributor of the Company or for the customer or other business partner to expand its business with a competitor, without the prior written consent of the Board.

 

(b)                                 Non-Solicitation of Employees.  Executive recognizes the substantial expenditure of time and effort which the Company devotes to the recruitment, hiring, orientation, training and retention of its employees.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that, for a period

 

 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

ACCURAY CONFIDENTIAL

 



 

beginning on the Effective Date and ending twelve (12) months after termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for such termination, Executive shall not use any Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit, offer employment to, hire or otherwise retain the services of any employee of the Company in a position classified as exempt from overtime pay requirements.  For purposes of the foregoing, “employee of the Company” shall include any person who was an employee of the Company at any time within six (6) months prior to the prohibited conduct.

 

(c)                                  Scope of Restrictions. Executive agrees that the restrictions in Sections 17 (a) and (b), above, are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s trade secrets and that they do not foreclose Executive from working in the medical device industry generally.  To the extent that any of the provisions in this Section 17 are held to be overly broad or otherwise unenforceable at the time enforcement is sought, Executive agrees that the provision shall be reformed and enforced to the greatest extent permissible by law.  Executive further agrees that if any portion of this Section 17 is held to be unenforceable, that the remaining provisions of it shall be enforced as written.

 

18.                               Remedies. Executive acknowledges that any misuse of Proprietary Information belonging to the Company and its Related Entities, or any violation of Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, and any violation of Sections 14, 16 and 17 of this Agreement, will result in irreparable harm to the Company and its Related Entities, and therefore, the Company and its Related Entities shall, in addition to any other remedies, be entitled to immediate injunctive relief. To the extent there is any conflict between Section 6 of the Employment Agreement and this Section 18, the provision providing the greatest protection to the Company and its Related Entities shall control. In addition, in the event of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Executive, including Sections 14, 16 and 17, Executive shall forfeit, and the Company and its Related Entities may withhold payment of any unpaid portion of, the Severance Benefits or Enhanced Severance Benefits provided under Section 5, above.

 

19.                               Cooperation Clause.

 

(a)                                 To facilitate the orderly conduct of the Company and its Related Entities’ businesses, for the Severance Period, Executive agrees to cooperate, at no charge, with the Company and its Related Entities’ reasonable requests for information or assistance related to the time of his/her employment.

 

(b)                                 For the Severance Period, Executive agrees to cooperate, at no charge, with the Company’s and its Related Entities’ and its or their counsel’s reasonable requests for information or assistance related to (i) any investigations (including internal investigations) and audits of the Company’s and its Related Entities’ management’s current and past conduct and business and accounting practices and (ii) the Company’s and its Related Entities’ defense of, or other participation in, any administrative, judicial, or other proceeding arising from any charge, complaint or other action which has been or may be filed relating to the period during which Executive was employed by the Company and its Related Entities.   The Company will promptly reimburse Executive for his/her reasonable, customary and documented out-of-pocket business expenses in connection with the performance of his/her duties under this Section 19.  Except as required by law or authorized in advance by the Board of Directors of the Company, Executive

ACCURAY CONFIDENTIAL

 



 

will not communicate, directly or indirectly, with any third party other than Executive’s legal counsel, including any person or representative of any group of people or entity who is suing or has indicated that a legal action against the Company and its Related Entities or any of their directors or officers is being contemplated, concerning the management or governance of the Company and its Related Entities, the operations of the Company and its Related Entities, the legal positions taken by the Company and its Related Entities, or the financial status of the Company and its Related Entities. If asked about any such individuals or matters, Executive shall say: “I have no comment,” and shall direct the inquirer to the Company. Executive acknowledges that any violation of this Section 19 will result in irreparable harm to the Company and its Related Entities and will give rise to an immediate action by the Company and its Related Entities for injunctive relief.

 

20.                               No Future Employment. Executive understands that his/her employment with the Company and its Related Entities will irrevocably end as of the Termination Date and will not be resumed at any time in the future. Executive agrees that he will not apply for, seek or accept employment by the Company and its Related Entities at any time, unless invited to do so by the Company and its Related Entities.

 

21.                               Tax IssuesThe parties agree that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement, and all other contracts, arrangements or programs that apply to him, shall be subject to Section 16 of the Employment Agreement.

 

22.                               Non-disparagement.  Executive agrees not to criticize, denigrate, or otherwise disparage the Company and its Related Entities, or any of their directors, officers, products, processes, experiments, policies, practices, standards of business conduct, or areas or techniques of research.  The Company agrees not to authorize or condone denigrating or disparaging statements about Executive to any third party, including by press release or other formally released announcement.  Factually accurate statements in legal or public filings shall not violate this provision.  In addition, nothing in this Section 22 shall prohibit Executive or the Company or the Board, or any of their employees or members from complying with any lawful subpoena or court order or taking any other actions affirmatively authorized by law.

 

23.                               Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

 

24.                               Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby agree that all disputes, claims or controversies arising from or otherwise in connection with this Agreement (except for injunctive relief sought by either party) between them and between Executive and any of the Company’s affiliated entities and the successor of all such entities, and any director, shareholder or employee of the Company will be resolved in accordance with Section 13 of the Employment Agreement, except for its attorneys’ fee provision.

 

25.                               Attorneys’ Fees. Except as otherwise provided herein, in any action, litigation or proceeding between the parties arising out of or in relation to this Agreement, including any purported breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

26.                               Non-Admission of Liability. The parties understand and agree that neither the payment of any sum of money nor the execution of this Agreement by the parties will constitute or be construed as an admission of any wrongdoing or liability whatsoever by any party.

 

27.                               Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein (or parts thereof), or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof will not be in any way impaired or affected, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Exhibit 10.3

 

AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES

 

This Consulting Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Derek A. Bertocci (“CONSULTANT”) and Accuray Incorporated (“ACCURAY”).  This Agreement shall be effective as of September 3, 2013 (“Effective Date”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, CONSULTANT has training, expertise and prior experience in the development, manufacture and sale of radiation oncology, including radiosurgery and radiation therapy technologies and devices, and in the executive management of ACCURAY; and

 

WHEREAS, ACCURAY desires to retain the services of CONSULTANT to provide the consulting services specified in this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, CONSULTANT desires to provide consulting services for the benefit of ACCURAY and its related entities using his knowledge, skills, experience and abilities;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I - SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED

 

A.  Nature of Services.  CONSULTANT shall be available to provide advice and assistance to ACCURAY and its related entities, and specifically the President and Chief Executive Officer and to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of ACCURAY, with respect to various questions, initiatives and projects in the areas of radiosurgery and radiation therapy, and personnel, customers, prospective customers and vendors of ACCURAY (collectively, “Services”) on an as needed basis, up to a maximum of 80 hours of Services each month during the Term of this Agreement.

 

B.  Right of Control.  CONSULTANT shall have exclusive control over the means, manner, methods and processes by which the Services are performed.

 

C.  Exclusive Services.  In order to ensure that CONSULTANT is available to provide, and to devote his undivided attention and effort in providing, the Services as required by ACCURAY, and to insure compliance with the obligations in Article IV of this Agreement, CONSULTANT agrees that he will not accept any employment or engage in any other consulting, business and/or commercial activities with the following entities: Varian Medical Systems, Elekta AB, Siemens AG, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Brainlab AG, ViewRay Inc, Best Medical, Rotary Systems, Radiation Stabilization Solutions, Alliance Oncology, MedyTec, Oncology Systems Limited, or any of their affiliates (the “Prohibited Entities”).  In addition, in the event CONSULTANT intends to provide services related in any way to radiation oncology, including radiosurgery or radiation therapy, during the Term of this Agreement to any entity other than a Prohibited Entity, CONSULTANT shall notify ACCURAY’s General Counsel to get approval by ACCURAY and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event CONSULTANT desires to provide work to any of the above, then both parties could mutually agree to terminate this agreement in writing, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE II - COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES

 

A.  Consulting Fees.  As payment and consideration for the Services to be provided and promises made herein by CONSULTANT, ACCURAY agrees to pay CONSULTANT a “Consulting Fee” of $27,716.67 per month for the Services.  The Consulting Fee will be paid in two equal installments each month and mailed to CONSULTANT before the 15th and last day of each month in which the Services are provided.

 

B.  Reimbursement of Authorized Expenses.  ACCURAY agrees to reimburse CONSULTANT for all actual out-of-pocket expenses that are necessary for the performance of CONSULTANT’s Services under this Agreement, provided, however, that any expenses must be approved in advance in writing by ACCURAY’s Chief Financial Officer.

 

C.  Tax Obligations.  CONSULTANT understands and agrees that all compensation to which he is entitled under the Agreement shall be reported on an IRS Form 1099, and that he is solely responsible for all income and/or other tax obligations, if any, including but not limited to all reporting and payment obligations, if any, which may arise as a consequence of any payment under this Agreement.

 

D.  No Benefits.  CONSULTANT understands and agrees that since he is no longer an employee of ACCURAY, he shall not be entitled to participate in ACCURAY employee benefits plans or receive any benefits provided to employees of ACCURAY, including, but not limited to participation in retirement savings or benefit plans, bonus plans and/or stock option plans beyond his participation during his employment by ACCURAY; holidays off with pay; vacation time off with pay; paid leaves of absence of any kind; and insurance coverage of any kind, specifically including, but not limited to, medical and dental insurance, workers’ compensation insurance and state disability insurance.

 

ARTICLE III - TERM AND TERMINATION

 

A.  Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date through December 3, 2013 (the “Term”).

 

B.  Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.  Either party hereto may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause on ten (10) business days’ advance written notice to the other.  If ACCURAY terminates the Agreement without Cause, it shall pay CONSULTANT the monthly Consulting Fee that otherwise would have been paid through the end of the Term. If CONSULTANT terminates the Agreement, ACCURAY shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the Consulting Fee after the termination is effective.  The Consulting Fee for the month in which the termination notice is effective shall be calculated by dividing the monthly Consulting Fee by the number of days in the month in which the termination is effective and multiplying that result by the number of days in the month until the termination is effective minus any portion of the Consulting Fee already paid that month.

 

ACCURAY may terminate this Agreement for Cause before the expiration of the Term hereof without any prior notice.  “Cause” shall mean (i) CONSULTANT’S commission of a felony, (ii) CONSULTANT’S commission of a crime involving moral turpitude or CONSULTANT’S commission of any other material act or material omission involving dishonesty,

 

2



 

disloyalty, breach of fiduciary duty or fraud with respect to ACCURAY or any of its subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers, (iii) the material violation of ACCURAY’S written Code of Conduct and Ethics that was provided to CONSULTANT, as determined in ACCURAY’S reasonable sole discretion, (iv) the violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), (v) CONSULTANT’S material failure to perform the normal and customary duties under the Agreement as reasonably directed by ACCURAY, provided, that any of the acts or omissions described in the foregoing clauses are not cured to ACCURAY’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice is given to CONSULTANT.  If CONSULTANT is terminated for Cause, ACCURAY shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the Consulting Fee after the termination is effective.  The Consulting Fee for the month in which the termination is effective shall be calculated by dividing the monthly Consulting Fee by the number of days in the month in which the termination is effective and multiplying that result by the number of days in the month until the termination is effective minus any portion of the Consulting Fee already paid that month.

 

ARTICLE IV — PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

 

A.  No Impediments to Providing Consulting Services.  CONSULTANT represents that he is not party to any agreement with any individual or business entity, including any relating to protection of alleged trade secrets or confidential business information that would prevent him from providing the Services or that would be violated by the providing of the Services.

 

B.  Confidential and Proprietary Information.  CONSULTANT acknowledges that the post-employment terms of the ACCURAY Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement, the Employment Agreement that existed before this Agreement and the General Release and Separation Agreement which may be entered into between ACCURAY and CONSULTANT, remain in full force and effect, specifically including the prohibitions against using or disclosing any of ACCURAY’s trade secrets or proprietary and/or confidential information learned while employed by ACCURAY during any subsequent employment.  CONSULTANT also acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement he will have access to and learn additional confidential information and/or trade secrets regarding the business of ACCURAY and its related entities, including, but not limited to, radio surgery and radiation therapy devices, and various other business, financial, technical and employee information (collectively, “Confidential and Proprietary Information”).

 

C.  Restrictions on Use and Disclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information.  In addition to the confidential information obligations that continue from the period of CONSULTANT’s employment with ACCURAY, CONSULTANT agrees to hold all Confidential and Proprietary Information in trust and in the strictest of confidence, and to protect the Confidential and Proprietary Information from disclosure, and to only use such Confidential and Proprietary Information as required to perform the Services hereunder.  CONSULTANT further agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, use, publish, disseminate or otherwise disclose any Confidential and Proprietary Information to any third party without the prior written consent of ACCURAY, which may be withheld in its absolute discretion.

 

D.  Return of Property.  CONSULTANT agrees not to remove any property of ACCURAY or its related entities from their premises without express permission, and to return all such property, including computer data, written materials provided to or obtained during the term of

 

3



 

this Agreement, customer and supplier address lists, and any other items of value at the time this Agreement is terminated.

 

E.  No Solicitation of Customers and Vendors.   CONSULTANT further agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year after the termination of it, he will not directly or indirectly, either on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, use any Confidential and Proprietary Information to attempt to persuade or solicit any customer or vendor of ACCURAY to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which any customer or vendor has customarily done or contemplates doing with them, or to expand the customer’s or vendor’s business with a competitor of ACCURAY or its related entities.

 

F.  No Solicitation of Employees and Other Consultants.  CONSULTANT further agrees, that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year after its termination, he will not directly or indirectly, either on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, attempt to persuade or solicit any person who is an employee or consultant of ACCURAY or its related entities to terminate such employment or consulting relationship.  In addition, CONSULTANT agrees that after the termination of this Agreement he will not seek to obtain or misappropriate any of the Confidential and Proprietary Information of ACCURAY or its related entities from any of their current or former employees and consultants.

 

G.  Violations.  CONSULTANT agrees that ACCURAY and its related entities would be irreparably harmed by any actual or threatened violation of the promises in this Article IV, and therefore, that, in addition to other remedies, ACCURAY and its related entities will be entitled to an injunction prohibiting CONSULTANT from committing any such violations.

 

ARTICLE V — MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

A.  Independent Contractor Status.  CONSULTANT understands and agrees that he is an independent contractor and not an employee of ACCURAY and that he shall not become an employee of ACCURAY by virtue of the performance of the services called for under this Agreement.

 

B.  No Office Space.  CONSULTANT understands and agrees that he will not be provided with a regular office and access to telephone, clerical support and facsimile and internet services at ACCURAY.  CONSULTANT shall at his own expense acquire, operate, maintain and repair or replace any office and equipment and supplies as maybe required for his performance of consulting services under this Agreement.

 

C.  Subconsultants and Other Contractors.  CONSULTANT is not authorized to engage the services of subconsultants, vendors or other contractors on behalf of ACCURAY or its related entities, unless she has obtained written authorization from ACCURAY to do so in advance.  To the extent such advance authorization has been obtained, ACCURAY will pay for the services provided by such subconsultants, vendors and/or other contractors.

 

D.  Consultant’s Employees.  To the extent CONSULTANT has any employees as of the date he signs this Agreement or hires any employees during the Term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT understands and agrees that all such employees shall be his employees only, and that ACCURAY shall not be an employer of the employees.  ACCURAY shall have no

responsibility for providing and shall not provide directions, instructions or supervision to any of CONSULTANT’s employees.  Only CONSULTANT shall provide such directions, instructions and supervision.  In addition, all decisions with respect to the employment of CONSULTANT’s employees, if any, shall be made solely and exclusively by CONSULTANT.  ACCURAY shall have no responsibility for or input into such decisions.  CONSULTANT hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold ACCURAY harmless from and against any costs, losses, damages, obligations, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or in connection with any claim asserted by any of CONSULTANT’s employees against ACCURAY based on the employees’ employment with CONSULTANT, such as claims for discrimination in employment, harassment, retaliation, violation of statutory law, and wrongful termination.

 

E.  No Purchases.  CONSULTANT shall not purchase materials or supplies for the accounts of ACCURAY or its related entities, or otherwise hold himself out as being authorized to make purchases for which ACCURAY or its related entities would be billed directly by the seller of the materials or supplies, unless such purchase is authorized in writing by ACCURAY in advance.

 

F.  Compliance with Governmental Requirements.  CONSULTANT will maintain in force and/or secure all required licenses, permits, certificates and exemptions necessary for the performance of his services under this Agreement, and at all times shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and orders.

 

G.  Indemnification.  CONSULTANT shall indemnify and hold ACCURAY and its related entities, and the directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees of all such entities, harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action, claims, suits, legal proceedings and similar matters, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from or arising out of the failure of CONSULTANT or any of his employees to comply with and perform fully the obligations hereunder, or resulting from any act or omission on the part of CONSULTANT, provided however that the indemnification shall not apply to any good faith action on the part of the CONSULTANT that is within the scope of this Agreement.  If any cause of action, claim, suit or other legal proceeding is brought against CONSULTANT in connection with any services rendered under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall promptly notify ACCURAY upon learning of any such proceeding.

 

ACCURAY shall indemnify and hold CONSULTANT and his agents, employees, representatives and heirs, harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action, claims, suits, legal proceedings and similar matters, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from or arising out of the performance of any act specifically requested or authorized by ACCURAY in connection with this Agreement.  This promise does not apply to any actions arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT’s operation of any motor vehicle.  If any cause of action, claim, suit or other legal proceeding is brought against ACCURAY in connection with any services provided by CONSULTANT under this Agreement, ACCURAY shall promptly notify CONSULTANT upon learning of any such proceeding.

 

H.  Notices.  Any and all notices and other communications hereunder shall have been deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or by e-mail during normal business hours, or 24 hours after being emailed outside of normal business hours or mailed, certified

or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, in the English language, to the addresses set forth below the signatures of the parties hereto or to such other address as either of the parties hereto may from time-to-time designate to the other party in writing.

 

I.  Waiver.  No purported waiver by either party hereto of any provision of this Agreement or of any breach thereof shall be deemed a waiver of such provision or breach unless such waiver is in writing signed by the party making such waiver.  No such waiver shall be deemed to be a subsequent waiver of such provision or waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof.

 

J.  Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any part of it is found to be unenforceable, the other paragraphs shall remain fully valid and enforceable.

 

K.  Arbitration.  This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted and governed by and under the laws of the State of California.  Any dispute between the parties hereto, including any dispute regarding any aspect of this Agreement or any act which allegedly has or would violate any provision of this Agreement or any law (hereinafter “Arbitrable Dispute”), will be submitted to arbitration through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) in San Jose, California, unless the parties agree to another location, using the JAMS Commercial Arbitration Rules (“JAMS Rules”). The arbitrator shall be an experienced arbitrator licensed to practice law in California and selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules, unless the parties agree to another arbitrator.  Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any such Arbitrable Dispute.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties.  Should any party to this Agreement pursue any Arbitrable Dispute by any method other than said arbitration, the responding party shall be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of such action.  This section shall not restrict the right of ACCURAY to go to court seeking injunctive relief for a violation of Article IV of this Agreement, pending the outcome of an arbitration proceeding.

 

L.  Sole and Entire Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the parties hereto, whether written or oral, pertaining to the subject matter hereof.  No change in, modification of, or addition, amendment or supplement to this Agreement shall be valid unless set forth in writing and signed and dated by each of the parties hereto subsequent to the execution of this Agreement.
