Business |
||||||
|
. The leading provider of virtualization solutions |
||||||
|
. Virtualization solutions represent a pioneering approach to computing that separates the operating system |
||||||
|
and application software from the underlying hardware to achieve significant improvements in efficiency, |
||||||
|
availability, flexibility and manageability. |
||||||
|
. VMW solutions enable organizations to aggregate multiple servers, storage infrastructure and networks |
||||||
|
together into shared pools of capacity that can be allocated dynamically, securely and reliably to |
||||||
|
applications as needed, increasing hardware utilization and reducing spending. |
||||||
|
. VMW believes that the market opportunity for its virtualization solutions is large and expanding, with |
||||||
|
24.6 million x86 servers and 489.7 million business client PCs installed worldwide as of December 2006. |
||||||
|
Customer base |
||||||
|
. Includes 100% of the Fortune 100 and over 84% of the Fortune 1,000. |
||||||
|
. Has grown to include 20,000 organizations of all sizes across numerous industries |
||||||
|
. VMW believes its solutions deliver significant economic value for customers, and many have adopted |
||||||
|
VMW's solutions as the strategic and architectural foundation for their future computing initiatives. |
||||||
|
Market growth |
||||||
|
. VMW believes that the addressable market opportunity for its virtualization solutions is large and |
||||||
|
expanding. |
||||||
|
. IDC estimates that less than one million of the 24.6 million x86 servers and less than five million of the |
||||||
|
489.7 million business client PCs deployed worldwide are running virtualization software. |
||||||
|
. VMW believes industry trends towards more powerful yet under-utilized multi-core servers and the |
||||||
|
increasing complexity of managing desktop environments will further accelerate the widespread adoption |
||||||
|
of virtualization for both server and desktop deployments. |
||||||
|
Virtualization history |
||||||
|
. First introduced in the 1970s to enable multiple business applications to share and fully harness the |
||||||
|
centralized computing capacity of mainframe systems. |
||||||
|
. Virtualization was effectively abandoned during the 1980s and 1990s when client-server applications and |
||||||
|
inexpensive x86 servers and desktops established the model of distributed computing. |
||||||
|
. Rather than sharing resources centrally in the mainframe model, organizations used the low cost of |
||||||
|
distributed systems to build up islands of computing capacity, providing some benefits but also introducing |
||||||
|
new challenges. |
||||||
|
. In 1999, VMware introduced virtualization to x86 systems as a means to efficiently address many of these |
||||||
|
challenges and to transform x86 systems into general purpose, shared hardware infrastructure that offers |
||||||
|
full isolation, mobility and operating system choice for application environments. |
||||||
|
Industry Background |
||||||
|
The introduction of x86 servers in the 1980s provided a low-cost alternative to mainframe and proprietary |
||||||
|
UNIX systems. The broad adoption of Windows and the emergence of Linux as server operating systems in |
||||||
|
the 1990s established x86 servers as the industry standard. The growth in x86 server and desktop |
||||||
|
deployments has introduced new operational risks and IT infrastructure challenges. |
||||||
|
> These challenges include: |
||||||
|
o Low Infrastructure Utilization |
||||||
|
Typical x86 server deployments achieve an average utilization of only 10% to 15% of total capacity, |
||||||
|
according to International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research firm. Organizations typically run one |
||||||
|
application per server to avoid the risk of vulnerabilities in one application affecting the availability of |
||||||
|
another application on the same server. |
||||||
|
o Increasing Physical Infrastructure Costs |
||||||
|
The operational costs to support growing physical infrastructure have steadily increased. Most computing |
||||||
|
infrastructure must remain operational at all times, resulting in power consumption, cooling and facilities |
||||||
|
costs that do not vary with utilization levels. |
||||||
|
o Increasing IT Management Costs |
||||||
|
As computing environments become more complex, the level of specialized education and experience |
||||||
|
required for infrastructure management personnel and the associated costs of such personnel have |
||||||
|
increased. Organizations spend disproportionate time and resources on manual tasks associated with server |
||||||
|
maintenance, and thus require more personnel to complete these tasks. |
||||||
|
o Insufficient Failover and Disaster Protection |
||||||
|
Organizations are increasingly affected by the downtime of critical server applications and inaccessibility |
||||||
|
of critical end user desktops. The threat of security attacks, natural disasters, health pandemics and |
||||||
|
terrorism has elevated the importance of business continuity planning for both desktops and servers. |
||||||
|
o Desktop Management and Security |
||||||
|
Managing and securing enterprise desktops present numerous challenges. Controlling a distributed desktop |
||||||
|
environment and enforcing management, access and security policies without impairing users' ability to |
||||||
|
work effectively is complex and expensive. Numerous patches and upgrades must be continually applied to |
||||||
|
desktop environments to eliminate security vulnerabilities. |
||||||
|
VMW's virtualization solutions |
||||||
|
. Run on industry-standard servers and desktops and support a wide range of operating system and |
||||||
|
application environments, as well as networking and storage infrastructure. |
||||||
|
. Functions independently of the hardware and operating system to provide customers with a broad |
||||||
|
platform choice |
||||||
|
. VMW's solutions provide a key integration point for hardware and infrastructure management vendors to |
||||||
|
deliver differentiated value that can be applied uniformly across all application and operating system |
||||||
|
environments. |
||||||
|
> Key benefits to VMW's virtualization solutions include: |
||||||
|
o Server Consolidation and Infrastructure Optimization |
||||||
|
Enables organizations to achieve significantly higher resource utilization by pooling common infrastructure |
||||||
|
resources and breaking the legacy "one application to one server" model. |
||||||
|
o Physical Infrastructure Cost Reduction |
||||||
|
. Through server consolidation and containment, solutions reduce the required number of servers and other |
||||||
|
related infrastructure overhead. |
||||||
|
. Organizations are able to significantly decrease physical infrastructure costs through reduced data center |
||||||
|
space, power and cooling requirements. |
||||||
|
o Improved Operational Flexibility and Responsiveness |
||||||
|
. Offers a set of automation and management solutions that reduce the amount of time IT professionals |
||||||
|
must spend on largely reactive tasks, such as provisioning, configuration, monitoring and maintenance |
||||||
|
. Additionally, as the need for physical infrastructure decreases, so does the need for the highly-specialized |
||||||
|
personnel required to manage and maintain such environments. |
||||||
|
o Increased Application Availability and Improved Business Continuity |
||||||
|
. Solutions enable organizations to reduce both planned and unplanned downtime in their computing |
||||||
|
environments by allowing them to securely migrate entire virtual environments to separate servers or even |
||||||
|
data center locations without user interruption. |
||||||
|
o Improved Desktop Manageability and Security |
||||||
|
. VMW's desktop virtualization solutions allow IT organizations to efficiently control and secure desktop |
||||||
|
environments to end users regardless of their location, desktop hardware, operating system or business |
||||||
|
application access needs. |
||||||
|
History with EMC Corp (NYSE: EMC, $37bb market cap) |
||||||
|
. VMW was acquired by EMC in January 2004, and prior to this offering operated as a wholly owned |
||||||
|
subsidiary of EMC |
||||||
|
. Immediately following this offering and subject to the closing of the sales of our Class A common stock |
||||||
|
to Intel Capital Corporation and Cisco Systems, Inc. EMC will hold 87% of VMW's outstanding common |
||||||
|
stock and 98% of the combined voting power of outstanding common stock |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
> Microsoft is the primary competitor for virtualization solutions |
||||||
|
. Microsoft currently provides products that compete with some of VMW's entry-level offerings and has |
||||||
|
announced its intention to provide products that will compete with some of VMW's enterprise-class |
||||||
|
products in the future. |
||||||
|
. VMR has developed its virtualization solutions as a software layer between the hardware and the |
||||||
|
operating system that is not tied to a specific operating system |
||||||
|
. VMR believes its approach is differentiated from Microsoft's and delivers significant flexibility and |
||||||
|
superior economic value to customers. |
||||||
|
> Other |
||||||
|
. Also competes with small companies whose products are based on emerging open-source technologies for |
||||||
|
system virtualization. |
||||||
|
. In addition, competes with companies that take different approaches to virtualization. |
||||||
|
. However, VMR believes these solutions offer limited support for heterogeneous operating system |
||||||
|
deployments. |
||||||
|
. Furthermore, VMR's VMware Infrastructure suite competes with products that provide high availability |
||||||
|
clustering, workload management and resource management. |
||||||
|
Intellectual Property |
||||||
|
. 22 US patents covering various aspects of server virtualization and other technologies |
||||||
|
. The granted United States patents will expire beginning in 2018, with the latest granted patent expiring in |
||||||
|
'2024. |
||||||
|
. Also has numerous United States provisional and non-provisional patent applications pending that cover |
||||||
|
other aspects of virtualization and other technologies. |
||||||
|
Investments by Intel & Cisco |
||||||
|
> Intel |
||||||
|
. Intel Capital, the global investment arm of Intel, has agreed to invest $218.5 million in VMR's Class A |
||||||
|
common stock at $23.00 per share |
||||||
|
. Intel's investment is intended to foster strengthened intercompany collaboration towards accelerating |
||||||
|
VMware virtualization product adoption on Intel architecture and reinforcing the value of virtualization |
||||||
|
technology for customers. |
||||||
|
> Cisco |
||||||
|
In July 2007, Cisco Systems, Inc., or Cisco, agreed to purchase $150mm of Class A common stock from |
||||||
|
EMC at $25.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million |
||||||
|
Use of $866mm in IPO proceeds from sale of 75.1mm shares |
||||||
|
including 9.5mm shares to be sold to Intel |
||||||
|
o Repay $350.0 million of intercompany indebtedness* owed to EMC; |
||||||
|
o Purchase from EMC VMW's new headquarters facilities for an amount equal to the cost expended by |
||||||
|
EMC to date in constructing the facilities, which totaled approximately $127.0 million |
||||||
|
o For working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance growth, develop new |
||||||
|
products and fund capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. |
||||||
|
* the intercompany indebtedness was incurred in April 2007 to fund an $800 million dividend paid to EMC |
||||||
|
in the form of a note. |

||||||
|
. Building our product portfolio primarily by acquiring rights to FDA-approved and late-stage development |
||||||
|

||||||
|

Summary: products & candidates |

|
> Amelior |
||||||
|
.CPIX believes Amelior currently represents its most significant product opportunity. |
||||||
|
Lead pipeline candidate, is an intravenous formulation of ibuprofen currently in Phase III clinical trials. |
||||||
|
. Expects to complete clinical development by early 2008. Preparing to submit a new drug application, or |
||||||
|
NDA, to the FDA for review. |
||||||
|
. There currently are no injectable products approved for sale in the U.S. for the treatment of both pain and |
||||||
|
fever. If CPIX completes clinical development and receives FDA approval for Amelior on the current |
||||||
|
projected timeline, we believe Amelior would be the first injectable product available for the treatment of |
||||||
|
both pain and fever in the country. |
||||||
|
. If approved, CPIX plans to market Amelior in the U.S. through its hospital sales force and to market |
||||||
|
Amelior internationally through alliances with marketing partners. |
||||||
|
> Acetadote |
||||||
|
The only intravenous formulation of N-acetylcysteine, or NAC, approved in the U.S. for the treatment of |

||||||
|
> Kristalose |

||||||
|
and compliance. |
||||||
|
Revenue |
||||||
|
Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to three months ended March 31, 2006 |
||||||

||||||
|
$4.5 million, or 326%, over net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $1.4 million. |
||||||
|
. The increase reflected growth of sales of Acetadote of $3.0 million as well as recording all sales for |
||||||
|
Kristalose in the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus recording a co-promotion fee for Kristalose in |
||||||
|
the three months ended March 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
. In April 2006, entered into an agreement to acquire the U.S. commercial rights to Kristalose and began |
||||||
|
recording revenue based on shipments of the product. |
||||||
|
. Prior to April 2006, co-promoted Kristalose and recorded a co-promotion fee based on a percentage of the |
||||||
|
product's sales. |

||||||
|
acetaminophen overdose. |

||||||
|
No. 11/209,804, as well as through international application No. PCT/US06/20691, both of which are |
||||||
|

||||||
|
lactulose. |
||||||
|
. The second, U.S. Patent No. 5,480,491, is directed to a process for preparation of crystalline lactulose. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
> Amelior, being developed for the treatment of pain and fever, primarily in a hospital setting. A variety of |
||||||
|
products already address the acute pain market. |
||||||
|
. Morphine, the most commonly used product for the treatment of acute, post-operative pain, is |
||||||
|
manufactured and distributed by several generic pharmaceutical companies. |
||||||
|
. Depodur® is an extended release injectable formulation of morphine that is marketed by SkyePharma |
||||||
|
PLC. |
||||||
|
. Other generic injectable opioids, including fentanyl, meperidine and hydromorphone. |
||||||
|
. Ketorolac (brand name Toradol®), an injectable NSAID, is also manufactured and distributed by several |
||||||
|
generic pharmaceutical companies. |
||||||
|
Other |
||||||
|
. Companies developing injectable, non-narcotic analgesics for the treatment of post-surgical pain are the |
||||||
|
primary potential competitors to Amelior. |
||||||
|
. Cadence Pharmaceuticals Inc. is developing an injectable formulation of acetaminophen for the treatment |
||||||
|
of pain and fever |
||||||
|
. Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc. is developing an injectable form of an NSAID, diclofenac. |
||||||
|
Not aware of others |
||||||
|
. CPIX is not aware of any approved injectable products indicated for the treatment of fever in the U.S. |
||||||
|
. There are, however, numerous drugs available to physicians to reduce fevers in hospital settings via oral |
||||||
|
administration to the patient, including acetaminophen, ibuprofen and aspirin. These drugs are |
||||||
|
manufactured by numerous pharmaceutical companies. |
||||||
|
> Acetadote |
||||||
|
. Acetadote is CPIX's injectable formulation of NAC for the treatment of acetaminophen overdose. NAC is |
||||||
|
accepted worldwide as the standard of care for acetaminophen overdose. Despite the availability of |
||||||
|
injectable NAC outside the United States, Acetadote, to our knowledge, is the only injectable NAC product |
||||||
|
approved in the U.S. to treat acetaminophen overdose. |
||||||
|
. Competitors in the acetaminophen overdose market are those companies selling orally administered NAC |
||||||
|
including, but not limited to, Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Bedford Laboratories division of Ben Venue |
||||||
|
Laboratories, Inc., Roxane Laboratories, Inc. and Hospira Inc. |
||||||
|
> Kristalose |
||||||
|
. Kristalose is a dry powder crystalline prescription formulation of lactulose indicated for the treatment of |
||||||
|
constipation. |
||||||
|
. The U.S. constipation therapy market includes various prescription and OTC products. The prescription |
||||||
|
products which CPIX believes are primary competitors are Amitiza® and liquid lactuloses: |
||||||
|
-- Amitiza is indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults AND is marketed by |
||||||
|
Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited; and |
||||||
|
-- Liquid lactulose products #NAME? marketed by a number of pharmaceutical companies. |
||||||
|
-- In addition, Kristalose competed with the prescription product Zelnorm® until it was pulled from the |
||||||
|
market in March 2007 due to adverse safety findings. Indicated for treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation |
||||||
|
in persons under aged 65 and produced by Novartis Pharma AG, Zelnorm is under further |
||||||
|
review by the FDA. |
||||||
|
-- There are several hundred OTC Products used to treat constipation marketed by numerous |
||||||
|
pharmaceutical and consumer health companies. MiraLax® (polyethylene glycol 3350), previously a |
||||||
|
prescription product, is indicated for the treatment of constipation and is manufactured and marketed by |
||||||
|
Braintree Laboratories, Inc. and other generic pharmaceutical firms. Under an agreement with Braintree, |
||||||
|
Schering-Plough introduced MiraLax as an OTC product in February 2007. |

|
geographic presence. |
||||||
|
. Provides primary real estate agency services, secondary real estate brokerage services as well as real |
||||||
|
estate consulting and information services |
||||||
|
. China Real Estate Information Circle system, or CRIC system: EJ believes their CRIC system is the only |
||||||
|
information system that provides up-to-date, comprehensive and in-depth information covering residential |
||||||
|
and commercial real estate properties in all major regions in China. |
||||||
|
. EJ ranked as the largest real estate agency and consulting services company in China for three consecutive |
||||||
|
years from 2004 to 2006 by the China Real Estate Top 10 Committee, as measured by the number of |
||||||
|
transactions facilitated, transaction value and GFA of properties sold and geographic coverage. |

||||||
|

||||||
|
. Real estate agency services, 79.4% |
||||||
|
. Secondary real estate brokerage services, 11.5% |
||||||
|
. Real estate consulting and information services, 9.1% |
||||||
|
Highlights |
||||||
|
o Enhanced brand recognition and leading position in the real estate services market, as evidenced by the |
||||||
|
award received on March 28, 2007 as the largest real estate agency and consulting service company for the |
||||||
|
third consecutive year; |
||||||
|
o CRIC system was further expanded from covering real estate data in nine cities as of March 31, 2007 to 24 cities |
||||||
|
as of June 30, 2007 |
||||||
|
o Secondary brokerage store network was further expanded from 114 stores as of March 31, 2007 to 141 |
||||||
|
stores as of June 30, 2007; |
||||||
|
o Experienced a minimum of 40.6% increase in revenues from $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2007 to |
||||||
|
the estimated revenues ranging from approximately $22.5 million to approximately $24.0 million for the |
||||||
|
second quarter of 2007; and |
||||||
|
o Experienced a minimum of 36.4% increase in net income from $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2007 to |
||||||
|
the estimated net income ranging from approximately $6.0 million to approximately $6.5 million for the |
||||||
|
second quarter of 2007. |
||||||
|
Tax issues |
||||||
|
. Under the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, enterprises that are established under the laws of foreign |
||||||
|
countries or regions and whose "de facto management bodies" are located within the PRC territory are |
||||||
|
considered PRC resident enterprises, and will be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of |
||||||
|
25% on their worldwide income. |
||||||
|
. However, the new law does not define the term "de facto management bodies." Substantially all of our |
||||||
|
management are currently located in China, and if they remain located in China after January 1, 2008, the |
||||||
|
effective date of the new law, EJ's offshore holding companies may be considered PRC resident enterprises |
||||||
|
and therefore be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income |
||||||
|
. This may increase EJ's tax expenses and adversely affect results of operations. |
||||||
|
Customer concentration & developer relationships |
||||||
|
. Generated 95.2%, 89.2% and 81.6% of total revenues from primary real estate agency services in 2004, |
||||||
|
2005 and 2006, respectively. |
||||||
|
. Although EJ is expanding service offerings, EJ expects to continue to rely on primary real estate agency |
||||||
|
services to generate a significant portion of revenues for the foreseeable future. |
||||||
|
. Revenues from primary real estate agency services are typically generated on a project-by-project basis |
||||||
|
and are non-recurring in nature. This may contribute to the fluctuations in our period-to-period operation |
||||||
|
results. |
||||||
|
. EJ typically enters into agency agreements with developers shortly before they are expected to obtain |
||||||
|
permits to sell their newly developed properties. However, the timing of obtaining these sales permits |
||||||
|
varies from project to project and is subject to uncertain and potentially lengthy delays as developers need |
||||||
|
to obtain a series of other permits and approvals related to the development before obtaining the sales |
||||||
|
permit. |
||||||
|
Seasonal |
||||||
|
. Operating income and earnings have historically been substantially lower during the first quarter than |
||||||
|
other quarters. |
||||||
|
. This results from the relatively low level of real estate activity during the winter and the Chinese New |
||||||
|
Year holiday period, which normally falls within the first quarter each year. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
> EJ's competitive position in Shanghai, Wuhan and Fuzhou is stronger than its position in other local |
||||||
|
markets. |
||||||
|
. In Shanghai, EJ remained as the leading comprehensive real estate services company for three consecutive |
||||||
|
years starting in 2004 and |
||||||
|
. EJ's leading position was recognized by the prestigious "Golden Bridge" Award EJ received annually for |
||||||
|
the same period from the Shanghai Real Estate Services Company Association. |
||||||
|
> In the primary real estate agency services market, main competitors include World Union Real Estate |
||||||
|
Consultancy (China) Ltd., Hopefluent Group Holdings Limited, Shanghai T&D Real Estate Co. Ltd. And |
||||||
|
B.A. Consulting Company, all of which operate in multiple cities in China |
||||||
|
> In the secondary real estate brokerage services market, EJ competes with established international and |
||||||
|
domestic real estate brokerage firms, including Century 21 China Real Estate, Centaline Group, Coldwell |
||||||
|
Banker, Shanghai House Exchange Co., Ltd., SUNCO Real Estate Co., Ltd., and 5i5j Real Estate Co. Ltd., |
||||||
|
in terms of number of brokerage storefronts, sales force and geographic coverage. |
||||||
|
> In the real estate consulting and information service market, competes with other leading international |
||||||
|
and domestic real estate services companies which provide real estate consulting services, including DTZ |
||||||
|
International, Jones Lang LaSalle, CB Richard Ellis and First Pacific Savills |

Business |
||||||
|
. On-demand employment screening solutions |
||||||
|
. Offer a comprehensive set of background screening services including criminal, motor vehicle and other |
||||||
|
public records searches, employment, education and professional license verifications and credit checks, as |
||||||
|
well as drug and health screening services. |
||||||
|
. During 2006, we processed approximately 4.8 million distinct records searches, verifications, checks and |
||||||
|
screens for our customers. |
||||||
|
Revenue |
||||||
|
> June quarter |
||||||
|
. HIRE estimates that service revenue and total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were |
||||||
|
approximately $16.8 million and $18.6 million, respectively, as compared to $14.0 million and $15.5 |
||||||
|
million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2006. |
||||||
|
. Also estimates that income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $3.0 |
||||||
|
million, as compared to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2006. |
||||||
|
> March quarter |
||||||
|
. Service revenue increased $2.9 million, or 24.8%, to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, |
||||||
|
2007 as compared to $11.6 million in the corresponding prior year period. |
||||||
|
. This increase was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in service revenue generated from net new |
||||||
|
customers and a $1.3 million increase in service revenue derived from existing customers. |
||||||
|
. The increase in service revenue from new customers was largely due to customers that started using |
||||||
|
HIRE's services in 2006 and therefore generated year over year increases in revenue in 2007 as they scaled |
||||||
|
their screening operations with HIRE, and the addition of more than 75 new customers in the first quarter |
||||||
|
of 2007, from whom HIRE had not generated revenue during the prior four quarters. |
||||||
|
. The increase in service revenue from existing customers was largely due to the sale of additional products |
||||||
|
and services to existing customers, further rollout of screening services to other divisions by enterprise |
||||||
|
customers and overall growth in hiring. |
||||||
|
Customer base |
||||||
|
. Serves a diverse customer base in a variety of industries, such as business services, technology, |
||||||
|
healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications and financial services. |
||||||
|
. During 2006, served more than 1,400 customers, which included 17 of the Fortune 100 companies and 53 |
||||||
|
of the Fortune 500 companies. |
||||||
|
. In 2006, also provided screening solutions to approximately 1,300 of customers' third-party suppliers and |
||||||
|
contractors through our supplier screening solutions, including HIRE's Extended Workforce Screening |
||||||
|
Solution, which was named one of Human Resource Executive Magazine's 2006 Top HR Products of the |
||||||
|
Year. |
||||||
|
Competition, fragmented market |
||||||
|
. According to its 2004 presentation, the National Association of Professional Background Screeners |
||||||
|
estimated that the background screening market at that time consisted of more than 1,000 screening firms |
||||||
|
. To HIRE's knowledge, no single private or public firm possesses a market share of greater than 10%. |
||||||
|
. Competitors include national employment background screening providers such as First Advantage |
||||||
|
Corporation and ChoicePoint, Inc., regional and local employment background screening providers and |
||||||
|
smaller, independent private investigations firms |

History |
||||||
|
> Bankruptcy |
||||||
|
. Together with the previous owners the assets, have been operating in the zinc industry for more than |
||||||
|
150 years. Horsehead Industries, Inc. ("HII") was formed as a result of several purchases of assets and |
||||||
|
entities that substantially form our existing company. In 2002, record-low zinc prices, production |
||||||
|
inefficiencies, high operational costs and legacy environmental costs associated with prior |
||||||
|
owners/operators of facilities caused HII to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. |
||||||
|
. An affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (together with its affiliates, "Sun Capital") purchased |
||||||
|
substantially all of the operating assets and assumed limited liabilities of HII in December |
||||||
|
. Sun Capital assisted ZINC in hiring the current chief executive officer and chief financial officer in 2004, |
||||||
|
and since that time we have implemented significant operational improvements as well as experienced |
||||||
|
significantly improved industry conditions. |
||||||
|
. In addition, since 2004 we have performed maintenance at our production facilities that was deferred by |
||||||
|
the predecessor due to its financial difficulties. ZINC expects to continue to be required to perform |
||||||
|
additional maintenance at these facilities for the foreseeable future. |

Business |
||||||
|
. Global medical technology company that develops, manufactures and markets non-invasive patient |
||||||
|
monitoring products that improve patient care. |
||||||
|
. Invented Masimo Signal Extraction Technology, or Masimo SET, which provides the capabilities of |
||||||
|
Read-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry to address the primary limitations of |
||||||
|
conventional pulse oximetry. |
||||||
|
. Pulse oximetry is the non-invasive measurement of the oxygen saturation level of arterial blood, or the |
||||||
|
blood that delivers oxygen to the body's tissues, and pulse rate. |
||||||
|
Masimo SET platform |
||||||
|
. Has significantly addressed many of the previous technology limitations. |
||||||
|
. Increased product revenue at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of approximately 41.6% for |
||||||
|
the four years ended December 31, 2006. We were profitable in 2005 and 2006, but prior to 2005, we had a |
||||||
|
history of net losses. |
||||||
|
Market size |
||||||
|
> Based on industry reports, MASI estimates that the worldwide pulse oximetry market is over $900 |
||||||
|
million, the largest component of which is the sale of consumables. |
||||||
|
> In addition, MASI believes that the reliability and accuracy of the Masimo SET platform, along with |
||||||
|
remote-alarm and monitoring solutions, will facilitate the expansion of MASI pulse oximetry products into |
||||||
|
areas beyond critical care settings, including the general care areas of the hospital. |
||||||
|
New product pipeline |
||||||
|
. MASI ahs recently developed products that non-invasively monitor parameters beyond arterial blood |
||||||
|
oxygen saturation level and pulse rate. |
||||||
|
. In 2005, launched Masimo Rainbow SET platform utilizing licensed Rainbow technology, which |
||||||
|
MASI believes includes the first and only devices cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or |
||||||
|
FDA, to non-invasively measure carboxyhemoglobin, or carbon monoxide levels in the blood, and |
||||||
|
methemoglobin saturation levels in the blood. |
||||||
|
. MASI believes that the use of products incorporating Rainbow technology will become widely adopted |
||||||
|
for the non-invasive monitoring of these parameters. |
||||||
|
. In addition, MASI believes that it will develop and introduce new products to monitor additional |
||||||
|
parameters in the future based on proprietary technology platforms. |

|
March quarter revenue comparison |
||||||
|
Three Months ended March 31, 2007 to the Three Months ended March 31, 2006 |
||||||
|
Total revenue increased $9.7 million, or 19.6%, to $59.0 million for the three months ended March 31, |
||||||
|
2007 from $49.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
> Product revenue |
||||||
|
. Product revenues increased $11.1 million, or 32.0%, to $45.8 million in the three months ended March 31, |
||||||
|
2007 from $34.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
. This increase was primarily due to higher consumable sales resulting from an increase in installed base of |
||||||
|
circuit boards and pulse oximeters to 399,000 units at March 31, 2007 from 313,000 units at March 31, |
||||||
|
'2006. |
||||||
|
. Revenue generated by direct and distribution sales channels increased $9.7 million, or 41.1%, to $33.3 |
||||||
|
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, while revenues from our OEM channel increased $1.4 |
||||||
|
million, or 12.4%, to $12.4 million. |
||||||
|
. As part of the increase in our direct and distribution sales channels, Rainbow technology product |
||||||
|
revenue increased $868,000 to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $344,000 in |
||||||
|
the three months ended March 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
. Royalty revenue |
||||||
|
. Royalty and license fee revenue decreased $1.4 million, to $13.2 million in the three months ended March |
||||||
|
31, 2007 from $14.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to a lower royalty |
||||||
|
rate associated with the 2006 settlement agreement with Nellcor. |
||||||
|
> For the three months ended March 31, 2007, MASI reported Nellcor royalties are based upon MASI's |

|
estimate of Nellcor's U.S. pulse oximeter sales for that period. |
||||||
|
Royalty revenue |
||||||
|
Consists of royalties associated with the January 2006 patent infringement settlement with Nellcor. |
||||||
|
. MASI will receive quarterly royalty payments based on the amount of Nellcor's U.S. pulse oximetry |
||||||
|
revenues. A predetermined royalty rate will be applied against the amount of Nellcor's U.S. oximetry sales |
||||||
|
and this will determine the amount of royalties MASI will be paid. |
||||||
|
. Under terms of the agreement, the royalty rates decline from 20% in 2006 to a range of 12% to 15% in |
||||||
|
2007 and then to a range of 10% to 12% in each year throughout the remainder of the settlement |
||||||
|
agreement. As a result of these declining royalty rates, MASI anticipates that 2006 will represent the |
||||||
|
highest level of annual royalties that we will earn under this settlement agreement. |
||||||
|
Intellectual property |
||||||
|
. As of June 30, 2007, had 253 issued patents and 189 pending applications in the United States, Europe, |
||||||
|
Japan, Australia, Canada and other countries throughout the world. |
||||||
|
. In addition, as of June 30, 2007, technology licensed from development partner, Masimo Labs, was |
||||||
|
supported by 26 issued patents and 49 pending applications in the United States and internationally. |
||||||
|
Dividends |
||||||
|
. In March 2006, paid a cash dividend of $171.8 million |
||||||
|
. In February 2007, paid additional cash dividends of $37.1 million |
||||||
|
. majority of funds used to pay these cash dividends were paid to stockholders from the after-tax proceeds |
||||||
|
that received from a patent infringement lawsuit against Nellcor and the interest thereon. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
> Nellcor |
||||||
|
. Primary competitor, Nellcor, currently holds a substantial share of the pulse oximetry market. |
||||||
|
. Nellcor sells its own pulse oximeters to end-users, sells pulse oximetry modules to other monitoring |
||||||
|
companies on an OEM basis and licenses, to certain OEMs, the right to make their pulse oximetry |
||||||
|
platforms compatible with Nellcor sensors. |
||||||
|
. Although Nellcor is still a competitor, MASI recently settled a patent infringement case against them |
||||||
|
following an appellate ruling which found that Nellcor had infringed three of MASI's patents |
||||||
|
> Faces substantial competition from larger medical device companies, including companies that develop |
||||||
|
products that compete with MASI's proprietary Masimo SET. |
||||||
|
> MASI believes there are seven companies that have announced products which claim to offer read |
||||||
|
through motion accuracy. Based on those announcements and MASI investigations, MASI believes that |
||||||
|
many of these products include technology that infringes MASI intellectual property rights. |
||||||
|
> MASI has settled claims against four of the eight identified companies and intends to vigorously enforce |
||||||
|
and protect proprietary rights with respect to the other companies whom MASI believes are infringing |
||||||
|
MASI technology. |
||||||
|
> Three of the four remaining companies, GE Medical Systems, Philips Medical Systems and Mindray |
||||||
|
Medical International Ltd., are OEM licensees of MASI |

Business |
||||||
|
. Largest online trading platform in Latin America, called MercadoLibre and located at |
||||||
|
www.mercadolibre.com. |
||||||
|
. Market leaders in e-commerce in each of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, |
||||||
|
Uruguay and Venezuela, based on unique visitors and page views during 2006. |
||||||
|
. Additionally, recently launched online trading platforms in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and |
||||||
|
Panama. |
||||||
|
Market |
||||||
|
With a market of over 550 million people and a region with one of the world's fastest-growing Internet |
||||||
|
penetration rates, MELIO provides buyers and sellers a robust online trading environment that fosters the |
||||||
|
development of a large and growing e-commerce community |
||||||
|
Two principal services: |
||||||
|
. For 2006, 85.9% were attributable to MercadoLibre marketplace listing, optional feature, final value and |
||||||
|
advertisement fees. |
||||||
|
. The remaining 14.1% of revenues were attributable to MercadoPago fees. |
||||||
|
o The MercadoLibre marketplace |
||||||
|
The MercadoLibre marketplace is a fully-automated, topically-arranged and user-friendly online trading |
||||||
|
service. This service permits both businesses and individuals to list items and conduct their sales and |
||||||
|
purchases online in either a fixed-price or auction-based format. Additionally, through online classified |
||||||
|
advertisements, our registered users can also list and purchase motor vehicles, vessels, aircraft, real estate |
||||||
|
and services. Any Internet user can browse through the various products and services that are listed on the |
||||||
|
website and register with MercadoLibre to list, bid for and purchase items and services. |
||||||
|
o The MercadoPago online payments solution |
||||||
|
To complement the MercadoLibre marketplace, developed MercadoPago, an integrated online payments |
||||||
|
solution. MercadoPago is designed to facilitate transactions on the MercadoLibre marketplace by providing |
||||||
|
a mechanism that allows users to securely, easily and promptly send and receive payments online. |
||||||
|
March quarter revenue |
||||||
|
. Net revenues were $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $5.5 million, |
||||||
|
or 49.8%, from net revenues of $11.0 million for the same period in 2006. |
||||||
|
> MercadolLibre |
||||||
|
This increase was attributable to a 48.1% increase in revenues derived from the MercadoLibre marketplace, |
||||||
|
from $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $14.2 million for the same |
||||||
|
period in 2007, |
||||||
|
> MercadoPago |
||||||
|
60.9% increase in revenues derived from MercadoPago, from $1.4 million to $2.3 million. |
||||||
|
. Growth in MercadoLibre marketplace revenues resulted principally from a 43.5% increase in the gross |
||||||
|
merchandise volume transacted through the platform. The growth in MercadoPago revenues resulted |
||||||
|
principally from a 61.3% increase in the total payments completed on the MercadoPago payments platform. |
||||||
|
The use of MercadoPago increased to 8.5% of our gross merchandise volume for the three months ended |
||||||
|
March 31, 2007 from 7.6% for the same period in 2006. |
||||||
|
> The $5.5 million growth in net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, by country, was |
||||||
|
primarily a result of an increase of $2.6 million, or 38.0% in net revenues in Brazil, of $0.9 million, or |
||||||
|
62.8% in Argentina, and $0.9 million, or 55.3% in Mexico. All other countries combined grew by $1.1 |
||||||
|
million or 95.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. |
||||||
|
March quarter web site results |
||||||
|
. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, visitors to MELI's website were able to browse an |
||||||
|
average of over 2.9 million total listings per month, organized by country, in over 2,000 different product |
||||||
|
categories. |
||||||
|
. At March 31, 2007, MELI had 19.7 million total confirmed registered MercadoLibre users. |
||||||
|
. For 2006, had 1.7 million unique sellers, 4.4 million unique buyers and 13.8 million successful items sold. |
||||||
|
. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we had 0.6 million unique sellers, 1.7 million unique buyers |
||||||
|
and 3.9 million successful items sold. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
. Direct competitors include various online sales and auction services, including DeRemate in Chile and |
||||||
|
Argentina, MasOportunidades.com in Argentina, and a number of other small services, including those that |
||||||
|
serve specialty markets. |
||||||
|
. Also competes with businesses that offer business-to-consumer online e-commerce services such as B2W |
||||||
|
in Brazil, and with shopping comparison sites, such as Buscape and Bondfaro, located throughout Latin |
||||||
|
America. |
||||||
|
. Some of these competitors, including Google, Amazon.com, Microsoft and Yahoo! currently offer a |
||||||
|
variety of online services, and certain of these companies may introduce online trading to their large user |
||||||
|
populations. |
||||||
|
. Other large companies with strong brand recognition and experience in online commerce, such as large |
||||||
|
newspaper or media companies, may also seek to compete in the online listing market. |
||||||
|
> eBay |
||||||
|
. In September of 2001, entered into a strategic alliance with eBay, which became a stockholder and started |
||||||
|
work with MELI to better serve the Latin American online trading community. |
||||||
|
. As part of this strategic alliance, acquired eBay's Brazilian subsidiary at the time, iBazar, and eBay agreed |
||||||
|
not to compete with MELI in the region during the term of the agreement. |
||||||
|
. The agreement governing the strategic alliance with eBay expired on September 24, 2006. |
||||||
|
. Even though eBay is one of MELI's stockholders, with the termination of the agreement, there are no |
||||||
|
contractual restrictions upon eBay becoming a competitor |

Business |
||||||
|
. Limited partnership engaged in the business of gathering and processing natural gas produced from the |
||||||
|
Barnett Shale geologic formation of the Fort Worth Basin located in north Texas. |
||||||
|
. Began operations in 2004 to provide these services primarily to Quicksilver Resources Inc.*, the owner of |
||||||
|
the general partner, as well as other natural gas producers in this area. |
||||||
|
. During the first quarter of 2007, 93% of total natural gas gathering and processing volumes were |
||||||
|
comprised of natural gas owned or controlled by Quicksilver. |
||||||
|
*Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK), $3.3bb market cap |
||||||
|
Operations |
||||||
|
. Results of operations are determined primarily by the volumes of natural gas gathered and processed |
||||||
|
through gathering and processing systems. |
||||||
|
. Gathers and processes natural gas pursuant to arrangements generally categorized as "fee-based" |
||||||
|
contracts. |
||||||
|
. Under these arrangements, KGS is paid fixed cash fees for performing the gathering and processing |
||||||
|
services. Does not take title to the natural gas and associated natural gas liquids, or NGLs, that KGS gathers |
||||||
|
and processes and therefore is able to avoid direct commodity price exposure |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
> KGS believes it does not currently face any significant competition. As of March 31, 2007, |
||||||
|
approximately 93% of its total natural gas gathering and processing volumes were comprised of gas owned |
||||||
|
or controlled by Quicksilver. |
||||||
|
. Quicksilver has dedicated to KGS all of its natural gas production from the Quicksilver Counties |
||||||
|
. Therefore, no other provider of services similar to KGS is able to compete effectively for Quicksilver's |
||||||
|
gathering and processing needs from the Quicksilver Counties. |
||||||
|
> However, if KGS expands its business in the future, either through organic growth or acquisitions, and is |
||||||
|
successful in attracting volumes from other producers, then it would face competition. |
||||||
|
. KGS anticipates that primary competitors in the Fort Worth Basin, based on current market conditions, |
||||||
|
would be Crosstex Energy LP, Momentum Energy Group and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. and that KGS |
||||||
|
gathering and processing systems would compete with other systems located in the Fort Worth Basin based |
||||||
|
on processing and fuel efficiencies, operational costs, commercial terms offered to producers and capital |
||||||
|
expenditures required for new producer connections, along with the location and available capacity of |
||||||
|
gathering systems and processing plants. |

Business |
||||||
|
. Tully's Coffee is a specialty retailer in the rapidly growing fast-casual categories of specialty coffee, |
||||||
|
snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, within the broader quick-service restaurant industry. |
||||||
|
. In addition, Tully's also operates as a gourmet coffee roaster and wholesaler in the rapidly growing |
||||||
|
specialty coffee industry. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
> Retail |
||||||
|
. In addition to Starbucks, on the national retail level competes with regional coffeehouses, such as Coffee |
||||||
|
Bean & Tea Leaf and Peet's Coffee & Tea, as well as numerous local coffee shops, convenience stores, |
||||||
|
restaurants, street vendors and, to a certain degree, quick service restaurants such as McDonalds and Krispy |
||||||
|
Kreme. |
||||||
|
. As TULY continues to expand geographically, expects to encounter additional regional and local |
||||||
|
competitors, such as Caribou Coffee |
||||||
|
> Wholesale |
||||||
|
. In the wholesale segment, competes with both specialty coffee roasters, such as Starbucks and Peets, and |
||||||
|
large foodservices companies, such as Procter & Gamble, which distributes coffee under the Millstone® |
||||||
|
brand. |
||||||
|
. Tully's must compete with many gourmet and lower quality coffee roasters and distributors (including |
||||||
|
those providing branded and private label coffees) for space on grocery shelves and for distribution by |
||||||
|
wholesale foodservice distributors. In the single serve category, the Tully's K-Cup competes with other |
||||||
|
Keurig licensees and other single-cup coffee and tea delivery systems and brands. |
||||||
|
Use of $34.5mm in IPO proceeds |
||||||
|
o to fund expansion of retail operations, primarily through the opening of new coffeehouses; |
||||||

|
ingredients for R&D use, or APIs. |
||||||
|
. In 2006 provided services to 70 pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers, including nine of the top 10 |
||||||
|
pharmaceutical companies in the world, as measured by 2006 total revenues. |
||||||
|
. To date, most customers have returned for additional and often larger and longer-term projects, and each |
||||||
|
of the top-ten customers over the last three years continues to be a customer today. |
||||||
|
Outsourcing industry |
||||||
|
. WX has benefited significantly from growth in the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology outsourcing |
||||||
|
industry. |
||||||
|
. This growth is being driven by the need to increase the speed and lower the cost of drug development, |
||||||
|
unmet medical needs of an ageing population, technological innovations that are increasing the conversion |
||||||
|
of lead candidates to drugs, increasing regulatory and safety standards, and the demands of the |
||||||
|
biotechnology industry. |
||||||
|
. In response, many large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are "offshoring" and/or outsourcing |
||||||
|
R&D activities to regions with significant resource and cost advantages, such as China. |
||||||
|
. Advantages offered by China include a large talent pool in the chemistry, biology and medical sciences |
||||||
|
and other related fields, relatively low-cost labor and capital expenditures, a developed infrastructure and |
||||||
|
favorable government incentives providing for utility, land and tax advantages. |
||||||
|
Growth plan |
||||||
|
. Intends to focus in the near term on successfully expanding service capabilities in chemistry, service |
||||||
|
biology and manufacturing. |
||||||
|
> Laboratory services |
||||||
|
. Beginning in 2007, began to offer preclinical development services, such as |
||||||
|
DMPK, general toxicology services, as well as pharmaceutical development services and manufacturing of |
||||||
|
clinical trial materials. |
||||||
|
. Also intend to expand capacity and facilities. Recently opened the Tianjin facility, adding approximately |
||||||
|
130,000 square feet of R&D space, and began the expansion of the Jinshan plant to quadruple the |
||||||
|
manufacturing capacity of the plant. |
||||||
|
. Planning to construct a preclinical drug safety evaluation center in Suzhou, which WX plans to inaugurate |
||||||
|
in 2009. |
||||||
|
> Manufacturing segment |
||||||
|
Expects the manufacturing segment, which typically has a significantly lower gross margin than the |
||||||
|
laboratory services segment, will represent an increasing percentage of net revenues in 2007 and beyond |
||||||
|
and consequently may result in WX reporting a lower overall gross margin. |
||||||
|
. Moreover, WX expects that the anticipated manufacturing projects at the expanded Jinshan facility will |
||||||
|
result in even lower margins as WX evolves its business from small-scale, discrete projects to large scale, |
||||||
|
higher-volume projects. |
||||||
|
. Also expect margins on manufactured drug products to be adversely impacted by changes effective July 1, |
||||||
|
2007 in the PRC's value-added tax, or VAT, credit system. |
||||||
|
Intellectual property |
||||||
|
In the business of providing drug R&D services, WX's customers generally retain ownership of all |
||||||
|
associated intellectual property, including those they provide to WX and those arising from the services |
||||||
|
WX provides |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology R&D outsourcing market remains highly fragmented. According |
||||||
|
to Kalorama Information, no single supplier has more than one percent of the drug discovery outsourcing |
||||||
|
market. |
||||||
|
. WX competes with industry players in particular service areas, for example with Charles River |
||||||
|
Laboratories International, Inc., which recently partnered with Shanghai BioExplorer Co., Ltd., in the |
||||||
|
preclinical services area, and Shanghai ChemPartner Co., Ltd. and Bioduro, Inc. in the discovery chemistry |
||||||
|
area, but WX believes that it does not compete with any single company across the breadth of its service |
||||||
|
offerings. |
||||||
|
Use of $108mmm in IPO proceeds from sale of 10mm ADSs |
||||||
|
(shareholders intend to sell 3.2mm ADSs) |
||||||
|
o US$40 million for the expansion of Jinshan facility, |
||||||
|
o US$40 million for the construction of a preclinical drug safety evaluation center in Suzhou, |
||||||
|
o balance for general corporate purposes, including working capital, acquisitions and expansion of service |
||||||
|
offerings. |
