EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A, or the Amendment, amends Alphatec Holdings, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, originally filed on April 2, 2007, or the Original Filing, and Form 10-K/A, filed on April 30, 2007. The purpose of this Amendment is to correct a scriveners’ error on the Balance Sheet on Page F-3. The Accumulated deficit for the period ended December 31, 2006 is ($38,681) and was erroneously reported as ($36,681). In addition, in connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have reissued their certifications. Accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of such certifications.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the dates described in the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to such dates. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment. In this Amendment, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Alphatec Holdings, Inc. and our subsidiaries.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Alphatec Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Successor”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from March 18, 2005 through December 31, 2005. We have also audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Alphatec Manufacturing, Inc., (the “Predecessor”) for the period from January 1, 2005 through March 17, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Successor at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period March 18, 2005 through December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2005 through March 17, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, Alphatec Holdings, Inc. changed its method of accounting for share-based payments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (Revised 2004).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (“Alphatec,” the “Successor” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2005 in order to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Predecessor (as hereinafter defined) on March 18, 2005, as more fully described in Note 2.

Alphatec Spine, Inc., formerly known as Alphatec Manufacturing, Inc., (the “Predecessor”), is a California corporation organized in May 1990 and is primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing, and sale of medical devices for use in orthopedic trauma, spinal, and reconstructive surgeries. The Predecessor’s principal operating activities are conducted through Alphatec Spine, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, Nexmed, Inc. (“Nexmed”), a California corporation, Alphatec Pacific, Inc. (“Alphatec Pacific”), a Japanese corporation, and Milverton Limited (“Milverton”), a Hong Kong corporation.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor include the accounts of Alphatec Spine, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alphatec Pacific, Milverton and Nexmed.

The consolidated financial statements of the Successor include the accounts of Alphatec and Alphatec Spine, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Nexmed and Milverton and its 80% owned subsidiary, Alphatec Pacific. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated statement of operations for the period from March 18, 2005 to December 31, 2005 includes the results of the Cortek business from the beginning of the accounting period nearest to its acquisition date (September 9, 2005). See Note 2.

Nexmed did not have significant activity during any of the periods presented.

On May 3, 2006, the Company’s board of directors approved a 3.57-for-1 stock split in the form of a dividend of 2.57 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the successor and these notes give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented. This resulted in the issuance of 15.5 million shares of additional common stock to the Company’s common stockholders.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The Company’s primary functional currency is the U.S. dollar, while the functional currency of the Company’s Japanese and Hong Kong subsidiaries is the Japanese yen and the Hong Kong dollar, respectively. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ALPHATEC HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current portion of debt are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, management believes the fair value of notes payable, capital leases and other long-term debt approximates their carrying values.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.

The Company’s customers are primarily hospitals or surgical centers and no single customer represented greater than 10 percent of consolidated revenues for any of the periods presented. Credit to customers is granted based on an analysis of the customers’ credit worthiness and credit losses have not been significant.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. In addition, the Company follows the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition , which sets forth guidelines for the timing of revenue recognition based upon factors such as passage of title, installation, payment and customer acceptance.

The Company’s revenue from sales of spinal and other surgical implants is recognized upon receipt of written acknowledgement that the product has been used in a surgical procedure or upon shipment to third-party customers who immediately accept title.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , if indicators of impairment exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the undiscounted cash flows associated with the use of the asset. The Company believes the future cash flows to be received from the long-lived assets will exceed the assets’ carrying value, and accordingly the Company has not recognized any impairment losses through December 31, 2006 .

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in money market funds, whose cost equals fair market value.

Restricted Cash

The Company has certificate of deposits with Bank of the West as collateral for the one standby letter of credit issued to secure the lines of credit for Alphatec Pacific and Milverton with Resona Bank.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides allowance for a portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices and the overall quality and age of those invoices not specifically reviewed. In determining the provision for invoices not specifically reviewed, the Company analyzes historical collection experience. If the historical data used to calculate the allowance provided for doubtful accounts does not reflect the Company’s future ability to collect outstanding receivables or if the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts may be required.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market and include material, labor and overhead costs. The Company reviews the components of its inventory on a quarterly periodic basis for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory, based upon historical turnover and assumptions about future demand for our products and market conditions. Our allograft implants have up to a four-year shelf life and are subject to demand fluctuations based on the availability and demand for alternative implant products. Our estimates and assumptions for excess and obsolete inventory are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis. The estimates we use for demand are also used for near-term capacity planning and inventory purchasing and are consistent with our revenue forecasts. Increases in the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory result in a corresponding expense to cost of goods sold.

A stated goal of our business is to focus on continual product innovation and to obsolete our own products. While we believe this provides a competitive edge, it also results in the risk that our products and related capital instruments will become obsolete prior to the end of their anticipated useful lives. If we introduce new products or next-generation products prior to the end of the useful life of a prior generation, we may be required to dispose of existing inventory and related capital instruments and/or write off the value or accelerate the depreciation of the these assets. We have not recorded excess and obsolescence expenses related to the introduction of next generation products.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally ranging from two to seven years. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the related leases.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, management reviewed its use of surgical instruments and concluded that it should reduce the depreciable life of surgical instruments from three to two years. The results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2005 include approximately $0.1 million of additional depreciation resulting from this reduction in the estimated life of surgical instruments.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. Furthermore, SFAS No. 142 requires purchased intangible assets other than goodwill to be amortized over their useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite.

ALPHATEC HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The Company is amortizing its intangible assets, other than goodwill, on a straight-line basis over a three to ten-year period. No amortization of goodwill has been recorded. Instead, the Company performs an impairment assessment by applying a fair-value based test in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events suggest the remaining value is not recoverable. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses through December 31, 2006.

Other Assets

As of December 31, 2005, other assets consisted of costs incurred in connection with the Company’s initial public offering that were reclassified to stockholders’ equity and netted against the gross proceeds of the offering in June 2006 when the initial public offering was completed.

Other Long-term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consist of accruals for potential payroll withholding, property and sales taxes and the long-term portion of severance payable.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Company’s research and development activities and are expensed as incurred.

Product Shipment Cost

Product shipment costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs for any of the periods presented in our accompanying statements of operations were not significant.

Income Taxes

In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes , a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets unless, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax liabilities associated with goodwill that is amortizable for tax purposes cannot be considered a source of taxable income to support the realization of deferred tax assets because these deferred tax liabilities will not reverse until some indefinite future period.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment using the prospective transition method and therefore, prior period results were not restated. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees , and related interpretations, and revises

guidance in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . Under this transition method, the compensation cost related to all equity instruments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, the adoption date is recognized based on the grant-date fair value which is estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Compensation costs related to all equity instruments granted after January 1, 2006 is recognized at grant-date fair value of the awards in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Additionally, under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company is required to include an estimate of the number of the awards that will be forfeited in calculating compensation costs, which is recognized over the requisite service period of the awards on a straight-line basis.

Valuation of Stock Option Awards

The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $5.60. The assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation costs for the stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006 are as follows:

 

Employee Stock Options

      

Risk-free interest rate

   4.535 – 4.675  %

Expected dividend yield

   0 %

Weighted average expected life (years)

   6.5  

Volatility

   62 – 65 %

Forfeiture rate

   15 %

The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the United States Treasury’s rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The assumed dividend yield was based on the Company’s expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The weighted average expected life of options was calculated using the simplified method as prescribed by SAB No. 107. This decision was based on the lack of relevant historical data due to the Company’s limited historical experience. In addition, due to the Company’s limited historical data, the estimated volatility also reflects the application of SAB No. 107, incorporating the historical volatility of comparable companies whose share prices are publicly available.

As of December 31, 2006, there was $7.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense for stock options and awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Adjusted Net Loss Information

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company presented deferred compensation as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), on January 1, 2006, the Company reversed deferred compensation against additional paid-in capital. In addition, prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations, to account for its equity-based awards to employees and directors. Under this method, if the exercise price of the award equaled or exceeded the fair value of the underlying stock on the measurement date, no compensation expense was recognized. The measurement date was the date on which the final number of shares and exercise price were known and was generally the grant date for awards to employees and directors. If the exercise price of the award was below the fair value of the underlying stock on the measurement date, then compensation cost was recorded, using the intrinsic-value method, and was generally recognized in the statements of operations over the vesting period of the award.

SFAS No. 123 requires disclosure of pro forma information assuming use of the fair value method for reporting periods prior to January 1, 2006. The pro forma information is not included herein for any periods since difference between the intrinsic-value-based method and the fair value method was not material.

The fair value under SFAS No. 123 was estimated at the date of grant using the Minimum Value pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Year Ended
December 31,
2004
 

Dividend yield

   0 %

Risk-free interest rate

   3.50 %

Volatility

   0 %

Expected life

   5 years  

No weighted average assumptions are listed for the period from January 1, 2005 to March 17, 2005 due to the fact that no equity instruments were issued during that period. Furthermore, no weighted average assumptions are listed for the period from March 18, 2005 to December 31, 2005 since no significant equity instruments issued to employees during the period were issued with exercise prices greater than $0.002, and as such, use of the Minimum Value pricing model did not result in significant additional stock-based compensation expense over the amount recorded based upon intrinsic value.

The Predecessor issued 674,000 employee equity awards in 2004. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $2.21.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value as determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services , and are periodically revalued as the equity instruments vest and are

recognized as expense over the related service period. In connection with the sale of 120,487 shares of common stock to non-employees during the period from March 18, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation within stockholders’ equity of $39,000.

Deferred Stock-Based Compensation Prior to 2006

The Predecessor, as a result of the valuation utilized in its merger with the Successor in March 2005, reassessed the fair value of the common stock used to grant equity awards for the period from January 1, 2004 to March 17, 2005. In determining the fair value of the Predecessor’s common stock, the Board of Directors considered, among other factors, (i) the advancement of the Company’s technology, (ii) the Company’s financial position, (iii) industry specific and general market conditions and (iv) the enterprise valuation utilized in the merger with the Successor.

On October 19, 2005, the Successor commenced the initial public offering process and, based on the estimated valuation of the Company presented by investment bankers, reassessed the fair value of the common stock used to grant equity awards going back to March 18, 2005. Upon formation of the Successor in March 2005, the common stock was valued at zero since the Company had not yet commenced its intended operations via the acquisition of the Predecessor and the redemption value of the preferred stock sold with the common stock was equal to the purchase price of the preferred stock and common stock together. Investment bankers were valuing the Company based on its ability to increase sales consistently over prior periods since the date of acquisition and forecasted revenues which demonstrated continued growth. The Company increased the valuation of the common stock on a straight-line basis from zero on March 18, 2005 to $13.45 on October 19, 2005 since no significant positive or negative events occurred during this period, other than progressive growth in revenues, which would indicate other than a linear increase in the reassessed valuation of the common stock. The value of $13.45 on October 19, 2005 represented the low end of the valuation presented by the investment bankers at that time. Management, all of whom are related parties, completed the reassessment without the use of an unrelated valuation specialist and concluded that the stock options granted and restricted shares sold to employees were granted and sold at prices that were below the reassessed fair value.

In connection with the grant of equity awards to employees during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Predecessor recorded total deferred employee stock-based compensation within stockholders’ equity of $1.3 million, which represents the difference between the weighted average exercise price of $1.50 and the reassessed weighted average fair value of $3.47 on the 674,000 stock options granted. The deferred employee stock-based compensation was amortized over the vesting period of the applicable options on a straight-line basis until March 17, 2005, at which time the remaining $1.1 million of unamortized stock-based compensation was charged to expense when the change in control provisions of the options caused the options to become fully vested.

In connection with the grant of equity awards to employees during the period from March 18, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the Successor recorded total deferred employee stock-based compensation within stockholders’ equity of $20.5 million, which represented the difference between the exercise price and the reassessed fair value of 122,297 stock options granted and 1,937,439 restricted shares sold.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company calculated net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share . Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common

shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company and options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “ Considering the Effects on Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. “ SAB No. 108 requires registrants to quantify errors using both the income statement method (i.e. iron curtain method) and the rollover method and requires adjustment if either method indicates a material error. If a correction in the current year relating to prior year errors is material to the current year, then the prior year financial information needs to be corrected. A correction to the prior year results that are not material to those years would not require a “restatement process” where prior financials would be amended. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that SAB No. 108 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 . This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition,

2. Acquisitions

Alphatec Spine, Inc.

On March 18, 2005, the Successor acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Alphatec Spine. The acquisition was funded out of the net proceeds from the Company’s initial capitalization in March 2005. The results of operations of Alphatec Spine have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Successor from the date of acquisition. The total cost of the acquisition was as follows (in thousands):

 

Cash paid for common stock and stock options

In connection with this transaction, the Company conducted a valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in order to allocate the purchase price in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations . Unless otherwise noted below, the fair value of the acquired tangible assets, assumed liabilities and supplier agreement was equal to the Predecessor’s carrying value on March 18, 2005, the date of acquisition. The Company allocated the excess purchase price over the fair value of acquired net tangible and intangible assets to goodwill. A strong scientific employee base having existing relationships with prominent orthopedic surgeons and operations in an attractive market niche were among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill recorded for the acquisition of Alphatec Spine is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The developed product technology represented proprietary knowledge that was technologically feasible as of the valuation date, and included all fully functioning products at the date of the valuation. Specifically, developed product technology represented proprietary knowledge related to the following products of the Company: Zodiac Lumbar Fusion and Deformity System, Mirage Spinal Fixation System, ROC Lumbar Plating System, Deltaloc Reveal Anterior Cervical Plate, Solanas Posterior Cervical/Thoracic Fusion, and various cage and bone products. The amount allocated to the developed product technology was assigned based on the estimated net discounted cash flows (income approach) from the related product line on March 18, 2005, the date of acquisition. The developed product technology is being amortized over a useful life of five years.

In accordance with SFAS No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs , as clarified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 2, the amounts allocated to in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expense were determined through established valuation techniques and were expensed upon acquisition as it was determined that the underlying projects had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future uses.

The fair value of the IPR&D was determined using the income approach. Under the income approach, the expected future cash flows from each project under development were estimated and discounted to their net present values at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. Significant factors considered in the calculation of the rate of return were the weighted-average cost of capital and return on assets, as well as the risks inherent in the development process, including the likelihood of achieving technological success and market acceptance. Each project was analyzed to determine technological innovations that were unique, the existence and reliance on core technology, the existence of any alternative future use or current technological feasibility, and the complexity, cost and time to complete the remaining development. Future cash flows for each project were estimated based on forecasted revenue and costs, taking into account product life cycles, and market penetration and growth rates.

The IPR&D expense includes only the fair value of IPR&D performed as of the respective acquisition dates. The fair value of developed technology was included in identifiable purchased intangible assets. The Company believes the amounts recorded as IPR&D expense, as well as developed technology, represented the fair values and approximated the amounts an independent party would pay for these projects at the time of the respective acquisition dates.

As a result of the required adjustment of acquired assets and liabilities to fair value at the date of purchase, using the income approach, the Company increased inventory by $1.1 million over the historical cost. The inventory adjustment resulted in Successor cost of revenues of $1.1 million over what would have been recorded by the Predecessor.

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the stockholders of the Predecessor put $3.0 million in escrow in order to fund potential indemnification claims for losses incurred by the Company. The Company subsequently filed a claim for indemnification of $4.5 million in claims we experienced primarily relating to obsolete inventory, certain tax liabilities and uncollectible accounts receivable. On March 3, 2007, the Company settled the claim and received $1.0 million, which will be applied as a reduction of goodwill. The remaining $2.2 million in the escrow fund was returned to the shareholders of Alphatec Manufacturing. Certain shareholders of Alphatec Manufacturing used the proceeds from the distribution to purchase an aggregate of $1.1 million of the Company’s common stock in a private placement.

Cortek, Inc.

On September 9, 2005, Alphatec Spine acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Cortek, a manufacturer and distributor of precision milled allograft products, in order to broaden the Company’s product portfolio. The acquisition was funded out of the net proceeds from the Company’s initial capitalization in March 2005. The results of operations of Cortek have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Successor from the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2005, the total cost of the acquisition was as follows (in thousands):

Total purchase price

   $ 7,852  
        

In connection with this transaction, the Company conducted a valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in order to allocate the purchase price in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The Company has allocated the excess purchase price over the fair value of acquired net tangible assets to goodwill. The enhancement of the Company’s existing portfolio of spine fusion products with a complementary offering of precision milled allograft products was the primary factor that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill recorded for this acquisition will be deducted on a straight-line basis for income tax purposes over 15 years.

As a result of the required adjustment of acquired assets and liabilities to fair value at the date of purchase, using the income approach, the Company increased inventory by $0.4 million over the historical cost. The increased inventory value was recorded as cost of revenues as the related products were sold. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, $0 and $0.2 million of this amount remained in ending inventory.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company revised the purchase price allocation and reduced inventory by $0.9 million to conform Cortek’s accounting for inventory to Alphatec’s accounting for inventory.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the preliminary valuation of certain assets and liabilities was adjusted by $0.4 million, resulting in a decrease of goodwill of the same amount.

Ishibe Medical Co, Ltd.

On November 1, 2005, Alphatec Pacific acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Ishibe Medical Co, Ltd., a medical devices distributor headquartered in Sapporo, Japan. The direct cost of the acquisition was less than $0.3 million. The acquisition resulted in an increase to intangibles of approximately $1.1 million for distribution rights which are being amortized over three years. The results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Buyback of Distribution Rights

On August 11, 2005, the Company paid $3.1 million to repurchase its distribution rights in Japan. The transaction was entirely financed by Alphatec Pacific’s current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer in return for the issuance of a note payable that was to be repaid in 18 equal monthly installments of $0.2 million (18.46% effective interest rate to scheduled maturity), beginning December 1, 2005. As additional compensation for making the loan to the Company, the Company granted Alphatec Pacific’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer a 20% interest in Alphatec Pacific, which had an estimated value of $0.6 million. This amount was recorded as debt issuance cost in the accompanying balance sheet. The note, plus accrued interest, totaling $3.0 million, was paid in full from the initial public offering proceeds in June 2006.

4. Related Party Transactions

Predecessor Transactions

During 2003, the Predecessor loaned seven employees $0.3 million to purchase an aggregate of 295,000 shares of common stock from the Predecessor’s majority stockholder. The repayment of the loans was due to the Predecessor in weekly installments over four years, bearing interest at 6%. If the employee ceased to be employed, the unpaid shares were returnable to the Predecessor.

ALPHATEC HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The loans were secured by the underlying common stock and therefore the notes were considered to be non-recourse and the common stock underlying the notes was accounted for as variable. In accordance with SAB No. 79, transactions entered into by majority stockholders are accounted for as if transacted by the company. Since the shares essentially vested as they were paid for, expense was recorded on the date shares were paid for based on the difference between the purchase price and the fair value. Two of the employees were terminated during 2003 resulting in 28,864 shares reverting to the Predecessor at a cost of $0.03 million. Three of these employees were terminated during 2004 resulting in 178,192 shares of common stock reverting to the Predecessor at a cost of $0.2 million. One of the employees was terminated during the period from January 1, 2005 to March 17, 2005, resulting in 9,939 shares of common stock reverting to the Predecessor at an insignificant cost. The amount of the expense recorded for the period from January 1, 2005 to March 17, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

During the period from January 1, 2005 to March 17, 2005, the Predecessor’s majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer sold 160,000 shares of common stock to certain employees at $1.50 per share which was subsequently determined to be less than the reassessed fair value of $6.70 at the date of the transaction. Accordingly, the Company recorded a stock-based compensation charge of $0.8 million in the accompanying statement of operations.

A stockholder and employee of both the Predecessor and the Successor was paid $2.1 million directly by the Predecessor’s stockholders for financial advisory services provided in conjunction with the acquisition of the Predecessor.

Successor Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company employed the family member of a director and executive officer described below. The following family member under the Company’s employ is an adult and did not live with the related director or executive officer. Each family member is compensated according to standard Company practices, including participation in the Company’s benefit plans generally made available to employees of similar responsibility level. None of the Company’s directors or executive officers believes that they have a direct or indirect material interest in the employment relationships of the listed family members. Options described below were granted under the Stock Plan and have a grant price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Such options vest in five equal annual installments over five years. Vesting is contingent upon continued service with the Company, although there is immediate vesting upon a change of control of the Company. Options granted under the Stock Plan have a maximum term of no more than 10 years.

6. Debt

During the second quarter of 2006, Alphatec Spine entered into term loans with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC), for approximately $2.7 million in order to finance certain previously purchased plant and office equipment. The loan terms are three years, bear interest from 11.23% to 11.42%, are secured by certain assets of Alphatec Spine, may not be prepaid without the consent of GECC and are guaranteed by Alphatec Holdings. Under the terms of these loans, Alphatec Spine is required to make 36 equal monthly principal and interest payments of $0.1 million and is subject to certain covenants, which include, among other things, prohibiting a net loss (as defined in the credit agreement by and between Alphatec Spine and Bank of the West) in any two consecutive quarters, requiring a specified ratio of debt to cash flow and a specified ratio of debt to tangible net worth, requiring certain levels of profitability and restricting certain mergers and acquisitions without prior approval from GECC. If Alphatec Spine fails to satisfy these covenants and fails to cure any breach of these covenants within a specified number of days after receipt of notice, or fails to pay interest or principal under the loan when due, GECC could accelerate the entire amount borrowed, which would also trigger a default under Alphatec Spine’s credit facility from Bank of the West. Similarly, the GECC loan has cross default provisions relating to defaults under any material obligation of Alphatec Spine for other debt, deferred purchase price payments for property and lease payments. As of December 31, 2006, the Company is currently in compliance with the covenants under the GECC loan and has obtained an oral waiver of the cross default of the GECC loan provisions relating to defaults under the Company’s Bank of the West line of credit. Alphatec Spine obtained a waiver from Bank of the West in order to obtain the GECC loan.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, Alphatec Spine entered into an additional term loan with GECC for approximately $1.0 million in order to finance certain previously purchased machinery and office equipment. The loan is for a term of three years, bearing interest of 10.55% and Alphatec Spine is required to make 36 equal monthly principal and interest payments of $0.03 million. The term loan has similar requirements as the term loan executed in the second quarter of 2006.

On January 24, 2006, Alphatec Spine entered into a two-year term, $10.0 million revolving line of credit with Bank of the West to provide the working capital necessary to support the expansion of the Company’s distribution channels. Borrowing under the financing arrangement will bear interest at the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.25%, with interest payable monthly. Availability under the revolving line of credit is subject to a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 20% to 50% of eligible inventory, subject to certain limitations. Under the terms of this credit facility, Alphatec Spine is required to make monthly interest payments and is subject to certain covenants, which include among other things, prohibiting a net loss (as defined in the credit agreement) for fiscal 2005 in excess of $2.0 million, requiring a specified ratio of debt to cash flow and a specified ratio of debt to tangible net worth plus subordinated debt, requiring certain levels of profitability (as defined in the credit agreement) and restricting certain mergers and acquisitions without prior approval of the bank. In addition, this credit facility prohibits Alphatec Spine from declaring or paying cash dividends. The financing is collateralized by substantially all of the assets and capital stock of Alphatec Spine and is guaranteed by the Company. In the third amendment to the credit agreement dated as of July 27, 2006, the revolving line of credit was increased by $2 million to $12 million. As of December 31, 2006 there were no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit. As of September 30 and December 31, 2006, the Company was not in compliance with several of the covenants under this credit facility. In November 2006 and March 2007, Alphatec Spine obtained a waiver for the covenant breach and entered into an amendment to the credit facility, pursuant to which the interest rate of the facility is increased from the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.25% to the bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 3.25%. The March 2007 bank amendment deleted the quarterly and annual net profit financial condition, modified the net loss financial condition and modified the definition of the borrowing base covenants.

Litigation

The Company is involved from time to time in litigation or claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. While the ultimate liability, if any, arising from these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of these matters will not likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company accrues for potential litigation settlements based on either a settlement offer from the plaintiff or the agreed upon settlement, or in some cases, an estimation, based upon what our management believes is the low-range of potential liability. The amounts accrued at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are not significant.

On June 26, 2006, Biedermann Motech GmbH and Depuy Spine, Inc. filed suit for patent infringement against a number of companies including Alphatec Spine. The complaint, filed in United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, relates to U.S. Patent No. 5,207,678. Biedermann Motech owns the patent and Depuy is the exclusive licensee of the patent. In the complaint, the plaintiffs sought monetary damages and injunctive relief related to such alleged infringement. On July 21, 2006, Biedermann Motech and Depuy filed a motion of preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the Company from further sales and manufacture of its Zodiac and Solanas products pending the outcome of litigation. The Company responded to this complaint on July 31, 2006 and filed counterclaims against Depuy related to actions taken by Depuy’s sales force related to this litigation. In its counterclaim, the Company seeks to have Depuy’s sales force cease and desist its actions related to this litigation and to invalidate the 678 patent. On October 26, 2006 the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction was denied. The Company does not believe that any of its products infringe on this patent and intends to vigorously defend itself against this complaint. The ultimate impact on the financial statements cannot be determined at this time.

On April 12, 2006, the Company and HealthpointCapital, its majority stockholder, and its affiliate, HealthpointCapital, LLC, were served with a complaint by Drs. Darryl Brodke, Alan Hilibrand, Richard Ozuna and Jeffrey Wang (the claimant surgeons) in the Superior Court of California in the County of Orange, claiming, among other things, that, pursuant to certain contractual arrangements Alphatec Spine allegedly entered into with the claimant surgeons in 2001, the Company was required to pay the claimant surgeons quarterly royalties in an aggregate amount of 6% of the net sales of polyaxial screws, which the claimant surgeons allege were developed with their assistance prior to the cessation of such development activities in March 2002. The Company first began to sell polyaxial screws in 2003 and has continued to sell them through the date of this report. In October of 2006, the parties to this litigation initiated a mediation session in an attempt to mediate a resolution to this matter, but were unsuccessful in doing so. The Company does not believe that any of the claimant surgeons are entitled to any royalty amounts and intends to vigorously defend itself against this complaint; however the Company cannot predict the outcome to this matter or the impact on the financial statements, if any.

Litigation Settlements

On February 2, 2006, Alphatec Spine filed a joint complaint with Alphatec Spine’s former President and CEO, Ronald G. Hiscock, in California State Superior Court against Benchmark Medical, Inc. and Benchmark Medical Holdings, Inc., in connection with Benchmark’s failure to pay Mr. Hiscock certain amounts due to him pursuant to his severance agreement with Benchmark. In addition, the complaint sought a declaratory judgment affirming Alphatec Spine’s ability to recruit and hire former Benchmark employees. In March 2006, Benchmark filed a complaint against Mr. Hiscock and the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, Vicky Romanoski, in Pennsylvania State court in which Benchmark claimed that each of them violated the terms of their respective severance agreements with Benchmark and sought to have the matter litigated in Pennsylvania rather than California. On June 21, 2006, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Benchmark that relieves all parties of all obligations related to prior severance and promissory note agreements between Benchmark and Mr. Hiscock and Ms. Romanoski. The agreement also settles litigation brought by Alphatec and Benchmark against one another related to these matters.

On or about November 22, 2005, the Company, among other entities, was served with a complaint by Abbott Spine, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The complaint alleged that Alphatec Spine tortuously interfered with a contract that Abbott had with one of its independent sales agents and tortuously interfered with Abbott’s customer relationships in Arizona. In the complaint, Abbott sought monetary damages and to have Alphatec cease and desist the alleged interference. On August 4, 2006, the matter was settled pursuant to a settlement agreement. The settlement agreement ends the litigation brought by Abbott against all parties related to these matters.

Put Right

On August 11, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Alphatec Pacific’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer in connection with the financing to repurchase certain distribution rights in Japan. The Stock Purchase Agreement provided the related party with the option to purchase 40 shares of the then outstanding 200 shares of Alphatec Pacific for $1.00, which was exercised on August 11, 2005. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Alphatec Pacific’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer has the right to require the Company to repurchase the shares beginning one year from the

completion of an initial public offering by the Company. In addition, the Company has an obligation to repurchase those shares upon certain changes of control of Alphatec Holdings, Alphatec Spine or Alphatec Pacific or upon termination of the employment of the stockholder. The repurchase price is equal to the sum of 60% of annualized revenue from the sale of spine products and 20% of annualized revenues from the sales of other orthopedic device revenues by Alphatec Pacific, except in the event of a change of control of Alphatec Pacific, where it will be equal to a proportionate share of the price paid for Alphatec Pacific.

The fair value of the 40 shares was established on August 11, 2005 in the amount of $0.6 million and was recorded as minority interest and as debt issuance cost for the note payable to Alphatec Pacific’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. In June 2006, the Company paid off the note financing its repurchase of the distribution rights in Japan with proceeds from its initial public offering. The remaining balance of debt issuance costs was expensed at that time. Interest expense of $0.5 million and $0.1 million was recorded for amortization of debt issuance cost for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the period from March 18, 2005 to December 31, 2005, respectively.

Subsequent to the original valuation on August 11, 2005, the value of the put right is being accounted for under SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity . In accordance with SFAS No. 150, the put right is classified as a liability and is represented by the minority interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The value of the put right at any reporting date is remeasured at the amount of cash that would be paid under the terms of the agreement as if the settlement occurred on that reporting date and recognizes the amount of the change from the previous reporting date as interest cost. In addition to the interest cost recorded for the change in the value of the put right, the Company consolidates 100% of Alphatec Pacific’s operations. Interest expense of $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the period from August 12, 2005 to December 31, 2005.

Royalties

The Company has entered into various intellectual property agreements requiring the payment of royalties based on products sold. These royalties primarily relate to products sold by Alphatec Spine and are calculated either as a percentage of net revenue or on a per unit basis. Royalties are included on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as a component of cost of revenues.

Agreements with Scient’x, S.A.

On September 27, 2006, we entered into two Stock Purchase Agreements, one with Olivier Carli and one with HealthpointCapital in an attempt to obtain a controlling interest in Scient’x, a French medical device manufacturer. If consummated the transaction contemplated by both agreements, we would have acquired through direct and indirect holdings, 74.1% of the outstanding stock of Scient’x.

On January 23, 2007, Alphatec Spine has signed three license agreements with Scient’x S.A., a French medical device manufacturer, pursuant to which Alphatec Spine will have rights under Scient’x S.A.’s proprietary technology related to (i) the Scient’x Isobar posterior dynamic stabilization rod (ii) the Scient’x Stella cervical plate, and (iii) the Scient’x Antelys plate-cage to produce, market, sell and distribute (i) a posterior dynamic stabilization rod, (ii) a thin profile cervical plate; and (iii) a plate-cage in the United States. The agreement provides that Alphatec Spine will make an upfront payment of $2.6 million, pay a royalty on sales (with minimum royalties for a period of three years), and commit to purchase a minimum amount of Isobar inventory, at cost, for a period of two years.

The company incurred $2.0 million of expenses related to the failed acquisition.

Severance Obligations

In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company had a reorganization of its executive team that involved the departure of the President and Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President—Sales, Vice President—Business Development and Vice President—Marketing. In accordance with their employment agreements, we recorded $6.9 million in severance expense, which consisted of $3.7 million in stock compensation expense as a result of adoption of 123(R) and $3.2 million in severance payments. As of the end of December 31, 2006, $0.1 million in severance payments had been paid.

8. Predecessor Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Options

The Predecessor had an incentive stock option and nonqualified stock option plan (the “Predecessor Plan”). The Predecessor Plan was revised in 2002 and provided for the granting of options to selected employees, directors, and consultants of the Predecessor to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Predecessor’s common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. The option expiration dates were determined at the date of grant, were not to exceed 10 years, and the options generally became exercisable over a three-year period.

Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the period ended March 17, 2005 was as follows (in thousands):

9. Successor Redeemable Convertible Preferred and Rolling Common Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

Initial Capitalization

In March 2005, the Company was capitalized through the sale of preferred stock units, consisting of shares of preferred stock and common stock, and the sale of Rolling common stock. The immediate redemption value of the preferred shares was equal to the unit price of the preferred stock unit and accordingly, none of the proceeds were allocated to the shares of common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, the Company sold 138,345 shares of Series C common stock at $33.33 per share, resulting in $4.6 million of net proceeds. The tables below summarize the number of shares of preferred stock and common stock comprising each unit, as well as the number of shares of Rolling common and Series C common stock, and the gross proceeds received by the Company for, and the aggregate carrying value of, the redeemable convertible preferred stock, Rolling common and Series C common stock at December 31, 2005:

Initial Public Offering, Redemption of Securities and New Redeemable Preferred Stock

On June 7, 2006, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) whereby it sold 9.3 million shares of common stock at $9.00 per share and received net proceeds of $70.2 million (after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the existing classes of common stock were also converted into a single class of common stock and all of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock was redeemed for a combination of $35.2 million of cash, 3.3 million shares of new redeemable preferred stock recorded at estimated fair value of $23.7 million and 3.6 million of new shares of common stock valued at $44.2 million.

There were 20 million shares authorized as of December 31, 2006 of the new preferred stock, which is not convertible into common stock but is redeemable at $9.00 per share, the Company’s initial public offering price, (i) upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or the occurrence of certain mergers, consolidations or sales of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, before any payment to the holders of the Company’s common stock, or (ii) at the Company’s option at any time. Holders of redeemable preferred stock are generally not entitled to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, except with respect to certain matters that will affect them adversely as class, and are not entitled to receive dividends. The carrying value of the new redeemable preferred stock is $7.11 per share at December 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Under SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, the redeemable preferred stock is required to be shown in the Company’s financial statements separate from stockholders’ equity and any adjustments to its carrying value up to its redemption value of $9 per share will be reported as a dividend.

Beneficial Conversion Feature on Sale of Series C common stock

The Series C common stock was sold at a price per share below the anticipated IPO price. Accordingly, pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features , the Company recorded a deemed dividend on the Series C common stock of $1.9 million at December 31, 2005 and an additional $0.1 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, which is equal to the number of shares of Series C common stock sold multiplied by the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the Series C common stock conversion price per share. The deemed dividend increased the net loss applicable to common stockholders in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share and was reported as an increase to the Series C common stock and a credit to additional paid-in capital.

In connection with the issuance of options to purchase 122,297 shares of Series A-1 common stock and the sale of 1,937,439 shares of Series A-1 common stock to employees during the period from March 18, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the Company recorded total deferred employee stock-based compensation within stockholders’ equity of $20.5 million, which represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the common stock and the option exercise price or stock issuance price at the date of issuance. The deferred employee stock-based compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the applicable equity instrument on a straight-line basis.

The expected future amortization expense for deferred employee stock-based compensation is as follows as of December 31, 2005 (in thousands):

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the deferred compensation balance of $18.3 million was reclassified against additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

The holders of new common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters except with respect to amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation that relate solely to the terms of the redeemable preferred stock. Dividends may be declared and paid from funds lawfully available and subject to the rights and preferences of any shares of redeemable preferred stock. The Company does not plan on declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Stockholder Loan

In March 2005, the Company loaned the spouse of an employee stockholder $0.2 million for the purchase of Rolling common stock. Interest on the outstanding principal balance accrues at the federal funds rate with both principal and interest due at the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the note or (ii) an initial public offering of the shares of capital stock of the Company. The note is secured by certain funds held in escrow. As of December 31, 2005, the balance of the note was $0.1 million. The loan was paid in full in February 2006.

Stock Options

In 2005, the Company adopted its 2005 Employee, Director, and Consultant Stock Plan (2005 Plan). The 2005 Plan allows for the grant of options and restricted stock awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. The 2005 Plan has 6,400,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance. The Board of Directors determines the terms of the restricted stock and the term of each option, option price, number of shares for which each option is granted, whether restrictions will be imposed on the shares subject to options, and the rate at which each option is exercisable. Options granted under the 2005 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock). Options generally vest over a five-year period and may be immediately exercisable upon a change of control of the Company. The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of any option granted to a 10% stockholder may be no less than 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, a total of 272,991 and 4 million shares, respectively, of common stock remained available for issuance under the 2005 Plan.

The realization of deferred tax assets may be dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient income in future years. As of December 31, 2006, a valuation allowance of $6.5 million has been established against the net deferred tax assets as realization is uncertain. Deferred tax liabilities associated with tax goodwill cannot be considered a source of taxable income to support the realization of deferred tax assets because the reversal of these deferred tax liabilities is considered indefinite.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had federal, state and foreign tax loss carry forwards of approximately $11.9 million, $12.9 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. If unused, the federal, state and foreign tax loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2023, 2010 and 2012, respectively.

The utilization of net operating loss carry forwards and tax credit carry forwards is dependent on the future profitability of the Company. Furthermore, the Internal Revenue Code imposes substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards in the event of an “ownership change” of more than 50 percentage points during any three year period. Due to prior ownership changes as defined by IRC Section 382, a portion of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards may be limited in their annual utilization.

Pretax earnings of a foreign subsidiary or affiliate are subject to U.S. taxation when effectively repatriated. U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes were not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the amount of undistributed earnings or income tax payable in the event the Company repatriated all undistributed foreign earnings. However, if these earnings were distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, offset by an adjustment for foreign tax credits.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business there are calculations and transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for income tax issues not yet resolved with federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. If these amounts

provided prove to be more than what is necessary, the reversal of the reserves would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which the Company determines that provision for the liabilities is no longer necessary. If an ultimate tax assessment exceeds the Company’s estimate of tax liabilities, an additional charge to expense will result.

11. Employee Retirement Plans

The Predecessor had a 401(k) Plan for the benefit of its employees. The 401(k) Plan covered all eligible employees. All employees who had a minimum of six months of service could elect to contribute to the 401(k) Plan up to 20% of their compensation to the annual maximum limit established by the IRS. The Predecessor did not make any contributions to the 401(k) Plan from inception to March 17, 2005. The Successor assumed the 401(k) Plan upon acquisition of the Predecessor and amended the 401(k) Plan on August 1, 2005 to reflect the following changes: (i) all eligible employees may participate in the plan immediately with no waiting period, (ii) the Successor may make discretionary matches to the 401(k) Plan of up to 4% of each individual’s compensation, and (iii) Successor match amounts are immediately vested. The Successor made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the period from March 18, 2005 to December 31, 2005.
