BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of Bovie Medical Corporation and its subsidiaries for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in 2005.


NOTE 2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its employee stock option and stock purchase plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee.” Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation expense for employee or director stock options granted for not less than fair market value. For purposes of disclosures pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (SFAS 123), as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure,” the estimated fair value of options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The fair value of the options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE 3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally on the average cost method. Inventories September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were as follows:

REPAIR PARTS

The Company acquired the inventory of repair parts in conjunction with the purchase of the Bovie line of generators and Bovie trade name, on May 8, 1998. The Company has maintained the inventory to service the previously sold generators. The useful life of repair parts is estimated to be five to seven years and the Company has set up an allowance for excess and obsolete parts.

As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the inventory of parts was follows:

NOTE 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - An Interpretation of ARB51 The FASB finalized FIN 46R in December 2003. FIN 46R expands the scope of ARB51 and various EITFs and can require consolidation of legal structures, called Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). Companies with investments in Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) were required to implement FIN 46R in 2003; however, companies with VIEs are permitted to implement in the first quarter of 2004. While we do not have SPEs, we do have a VIE that we have determined will qualify for consolidation. Our joint venture with Jump Agentur Fur Electrotechnik GMBH (“the Joint Venture”, “JAG”) qualifies as a VIE We have consolidated this VIE for period ended September 30, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004. The most significant impact to our financial statements is to add the net intangible assets of JAG, totaling $315,000 for the period ended September 30, 2005, and minority interest of $135,000 as of September 30, 2005 to our balance sheets. The impacts on our consolidated statements of net income or cash flows are not material.

In November 2003 and March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” The consensus reached requires companies to apply new guidance for evaluation whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosure of debt and equity securities, classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity, that are determined to be only temporarily impaired at the balance sheet date. In September 2004, the adoption date of the consensus was indefinitely delayed as it relates to the measurement and recognition of impairment losses for all securities in the scope of paragraphs 10-20 of Issue No. 03-1. The disclosures prescribed by Issue No. 03-1 and guidance related to impairment measurement prior to the issuance of this consensus continues to remain in effect. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.
 
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 132® “Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits.” This standard increases the existing disclosure requirements by requiring more details about pension plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, benefit costs and related information. The expanded disclosure require that plan assets be segregated by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and that disclosures on certain expected rates of return be incorporated. SFAS No. 132® will also require us to disclose various elements of pension and post-retirement benefit costs in interim-period financial statements. We adopted SFAS No. 132® in 2003. The Company does not have a pension plan or post retirement benefits.

NOTE 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

In September 2004, the EITF reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings Per Share,” requiring that the dilutive effect of contingent convertible debt instruments (CoCos) be included in diluted earnings per share calculations for all periods (if dilutive), regardless of whether the triggering contingency has been satisfied. Adoption of Issue No. 04-8 requires retroactive restatement of prior period dilutive earnings per share for CoCos outstanding at the implementation date. The Company does not have contingently convertible instruments and the adoption of this consensus for periods ending after December 15, 2004 did not have a material impact on diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

In September 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-1 “Accounting for Preexisting Relationships between the Parties to a Business Combination,” which requires that preexisting relationships between two parties of a business combination be settled prior to the combination. The EITF also addresses the measurement and recognition of settlements related to-preexisting receivables and payables, executory contracts, intangible asset rights, and gain settlements among the parties to a business combination. This consensus is effective for the fiscal year 2005. Adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

In September 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-10, “Applying Paragraph 19 of FASB Statement No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131), in Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds.” Issue No. 04-10 clarifies the criteria for aggregating an operating segment that does not meet all of the aggregation criteria in paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131, but also falls below the quantitative criteria that would dictate that the segment be reported separately. The consensus reached would enable an entity to aggregate two or more segments that have similar economic characteristics and share a majority of the aggregation criteria in paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131. Although Issue No. 04-10 was to be effective immediately, in November 2004 the EITF delayed the implementation of this issue in order to have its effective date coincide with a related FASB Staff Position (FSP), which will clarify the meaning of similar economic characteristics. Issue No. 04-10 is to be applied by retroactive restatement of previous periods. Adoption of Issue No. 04-10 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4,” which adopts wording from the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) IAS 2 “Inventories” in an effort to improve the comparability of cross-border financial reporting. The FASB and IASB both believe the standards have the same intent; however, an amendment to the wording was adopted to avoid inconsistent application. The new standard indicates that abnormal freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be treated as current period charges rather than as a portion of inventory cost. Additionally, the standard clarifies that fixed production overhead should be allocated based on the normal capacity of a production facility. The Statement is effective beginning in fiscal year 2007. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” The FSP clarifies that the manufacturer’s deduction provided for under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) should be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and not as a tax rate reduction. The Qualified Production Activities Deduction will not impact our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows for fiscal year 2005 because the deduction is not available to us. We are currently evaluating the effect that this deduction will have in subsequent years.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee. “SFAS 123R requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123, no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R in the fiscal year 2006. Under SFAS 123R, we must determine

NOTE 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

the appropriate fair value model to be used in valuing share-based payments the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at the date of adoption. Upon adoption, we may choose from two transition methods: the modified-prospective transition approach or the modified-retroactive transition approach. Under the modified-prospective transition approach we would be required to recognize compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of the date of adoption. Prior periods remain unchanged and pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123 continue to be required. Under the modified-retrospective transition method we would be required to restate prior periods by recognizing compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123. Under this method, we would be permitted to apply this presentation to all periods presented or to the start of the fiscal year in which SFAS No. 123R is adopted. We would also be required to follow the same guidelines as in the modified-prospective transition method for awards granted subsequent to adoption and those that were granted and not yet vested. We are currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and its impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share. We have not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting SFAS 123R, and it has not been determined whether the adoption will result in amounts similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP) No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (FSB 109-2”). This position provides guidance under FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes”, with respect to recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) on enterprises income tax expense and deferred tax liability. The Jobs Act was enacted on October 22, 2004. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. The Company does not have accumulated income earned abroad and The Act and the FSP No. 109-2 do not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” (SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 eliminates the exception
From fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We have considered SFAS 153 and have determined that this pronouncement is not applicable to our current operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions- An amendment of SFAS No. 66 and 67”. This statement amends SFAS No. 66,” Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions which is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transaction.” This statement also amends SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects,” to state the guidance for (a) incidental costs and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those costs is subject to guidance in SOP 04-2. SFAS 152 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We have considered SFAS 152 and have determined that this pronouncement is not applicable to our current operations.

 
NOTE 6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005, we issued 77,730 common shares in exchange for employee exercised options. The issuance of the common stock resulted in an increase in capital of $50,363.

NOTE 7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding resulting from employee stock options during the period. When there is a loss we do not compute diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, where applicable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Level Overview

We are a medical device company engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of electrosurgical devices. Our medical products include a wide range of devices including electrosurgical generators and accessories, cauteries, medical lighting, nerve locators and other products.

We divide our operations into three reportable business segments: Electrosurgical products, battery operated cauteries and other products. The electrosurgical segment sells electrosurgical products generators, electrodes, electrosurgical pencils and various ancillary disposable products. These products are used in surgery for the cutting and coagulation of tissue. Battery operated cauteries are used for precise hemostasis (to stop bleeding) in ophthalmology and in other fields. Our other revenues are derived from nerve locators, disposable and reusable penlights, medical lighting, license fees, development fees and other miscellaneous income. Domestic sales accounted for 83% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 86% in the first nine months of 2004. Most the Company’s products are marketed through medical distributors which distribute to more than 6,000 hospitals and to doctors and other health-care facilities.

International sales accounts for 17% of total revenues for the period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 14% for the nine months ended 2004. The Company’s products are sold in more than 150 countries through local dealers. Local dealer support is coordinated by sales and marketing personnel at the St. Petersburg, Florida facility. We have no branch offices other than the Florida facility. We sell our products to distributors that distribute them in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United Kingdom, China, the CIS (former Soviet Union), Cyprus, Indonesia, Ireland, Korea, Latin America, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam. Our business is generally not seasonal in nature.

BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION
Outlook for 2005

Based upon current preliminary forecasts, diluted net earnings per share from operations for 2005 will be less than 2004. In addition, net earnings have been negatively impacted by increased costs of selling, general payroll, professional fees, research and development and administrative. For the next three months of the current fiscal year, we expect increased sales compared to the same period last year, that could result in record fourth quarter sales. If foreign currency exchange rates hold at current levels, we anticipate a favorable impact on foreign sales for the full year of 2005.

Our main OEM customer reduced orders during 2005 causing a decline in sales for the nine month period. OEM business is marked by variables, making it difficult to forecast future performance, as OEM contracts create limited visibility. Significant OEM orders or new product development can favorably and materially impact our performance. During fiscal 2005 we have directed increased effort and resources at advancing product development, and geographic expansion of distributors while continuing to take advantage of selective OEM opportunities as they occur. We believe that this course of action will result in a greater diversification to our revenue stream. Early estimates indicate increased OEM sales for the first six months of 2006.

We have paid off all previously outstanding borrowings under our existing credit facility. We anticipate investing in future business growth, including business and product line acquisitions to supplement our current product offerings, new product launches and future manufacturing building expansions.

BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION

2005 Compared with 2004

Our net sales decreased 5% for the first nine months of 2005 as compared to the first nine months of 2004. Total sales were $14.8 million in 2005 and 15.6 million for 2004 a decrease of .8 million. Sales of electrosurgical products decreased by 12% or $1.2 million during the same period of 2004 while sales of cauteries increased by 1% from 4.0 million to $4.03 million. Other sales increased by 20% from $1.6 million to $1.95 million. This increase in other sales was the result of $.3 million increase in development cost income and $.3 million in other medical product sales. No sales of one particular electrosurgical product dominated the number of units sold. Sales of electrosurgical generators and accessories to Arthrex decreased from $4.8 million in the first nine months of 2004 to $2.05 million in the first nine months of 2005.   

Domestic sales were $12.3 million for first nine months of 2005, representing a decrease of 8% from the same period last year. International sales were $2.5 million for the first nine month of 2005, representing an increase of 12.9% over the same period 2004.

Cost of sales represented 64% of sales in the first nine months of 2005 as compared to 62% of sales in the first nine months of 2004, a total of $9.48 million and $9.76 million, respectively, an decrease of $.03 million. The reason for the decrease in cost of sales was due to an increase of 5.3% in indirect costs and a decrease in material cost of 2.0%. Increased indirect costs of .26 million was the result of increase costs of quality control payroll, development and testing costs, freight in and material cost and price adjustments. 
Research, development and engineering expenses were 4.4% and 4.1% of sales for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. These expenses increased 2.5% in 2005 to $657,939, a increase over the corresponding period of 2004 spending of $16,304. The high spending level is the result of progress completion of our development costs on our proposed product launches in 2005. New products under development are the suture removal device, plasma technology, GI device and various improvements to our line of electrosurgical generators.

Professional fees increased from $297,186 in the first nine months of 2004 to $364,367 in the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $67,181 or 23%. Other legal fees increased by $63,485, mainly associated with defense litigation and product development.

Salaries and related costs increased by 1.9% from $1.31 million to $1.33 million from the first nine months of 2004 to the first nine months of 2005. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased cost of additional sales representatives and training.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased for the first nine months of 2005 as compared to the first nine months of 2004, increased by .37 million. This was mostly attributable to an increase in general liability insurance, regulatory testing costs, and sales marketing costs.

Net interest earned increased by $27,981 from a net expense in the first nine of 2004 to net income in the third quarter of 2005 as a result of our higher cash balances being invested.

As a result of the profit for the first nine months of 2005, the effective income tax rate was 36.2%. and 36.2% the first nine months of 2004. There was also a tax loss carryover benefit of 36.2% for 2004 and 2005.

There was net income of $.01 per share of $142,306 in the first nine month of 2005 as compared to $1,167,191 or $.09 per share in the first nine months of 2004. The decrease in earnings from the first nine months of 2004 to the third quarter of 2005 was mostly attributable to a decrease in gross profit of $514,784 and an increase in expenses of $530,583 over the same period in 2004.

Results of Operations- Three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004

Sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 were 5.0 million as compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $.6 million or 10%. The decrease was mainly attributed to decreased sales of electrosurgical products, mainly from reduced OEM orders from our main OEM customer.

Cost of goods sold decreased from $3.4 million to $2.9 million a decrease of $.54 million or 15% for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.

BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION

Gross profit decreased from $2.2 million to $2.1 million a decrease of $.1 million or 2.4%. Gross profit percentage increased from 38.6% in 2004 to 42% in 2005. The reason for the increase was mainly attributed to a decrease in costs of 8%.

Research and development increased by $23,336 or 8.3 from $280,514 to $303,850 for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2005, respectively. The increase is due to development costs attributable to the new G/I device.

Professional fees increased by $51,508 or 70.6% from $75,338 to 126,846 for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 to June 30, 2005, respectively. This increase is mainly associated with defense litigation, product development and increased accounting fees.

Salaries and related costs increased from $403,044 to $447,210 an increase of $44,166.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $163,145 or 18.7% from $870,273 to $1,033,418 for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2005, respectively. The largest areas of increased costs were for regulatory testing fees and liability insurance

Total other costs went from $1,640,087 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $1,936,214 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $296,127 or 18%.

Net interest expense decreased from $3,844to $5,594 in income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared to quarter ended September 30, 2004. The reason for the decrease was that we did not use our credit facility during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and earned interest on our bank balance and deposits.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $171,620 or $.01 per share as compared to net income of $522,815 for the same quarter in 2004, a decrease of $351,195 or 67.2%. The main reason for the decrease in income was the decrease in gross profit and increase in SG & A.

We sell our products through distributors both overseas and in U.S. markets. New distributors are contacted through responses to our advertising in international and domestic medical journals and domestic or international trade shows.

In the fourth quarter of 1998, we made agreements with various sales representatives to develop markets for our new products and to maintain customer relations. Our current representatives receive an average commission of approximately 4% of sales in their market areas. In the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, commissions paid were $318,531 and $257,237 respectively, an increase of 24%. Increase was due to the hiring of two direct sales people.

An adequate supply of raw materials is available from both domestic and international suppliers. The relationship between us and our suppliers is generally limited to individual purchase order agreements, supplemented by contractual arrangements with key vendors to ensure availability of certain products. We have developed multiple sources of supply where possible.

In order to provide additional working capital, we have secured a $1.5 million credit facility with a local commercial bank. This facility is payable on demand. For the period ended September 30, 2005, we had zero funds drawn down on this credit facility.

Our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 64% of net revenues for the first nine month of 2005 as compared to 72% in the same period of 2004. For both periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, our ten largest trade receivables accounted for approximately 60% and 66% of outstanding receivables, respectively. In the first nine month of 2005 and 2004 one customer, Arthrex, accounted for 14% and 31% of total sales, respectively.

Product Development

Most of the Company’s products and product improvements have been developed internally. Funds for this development have come from internal cash flow and the sale of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. The Company maintains close working relationships with physicians and medical personnel in hospitals and universities who assist in product research and development. New and improved products play a critical role in the Company’s sales growth. The Company continues to place emphasis on the development of proprietary products and product improvements to complement and expand its existing product lines. The Company has a centralized research and development focus, with its one manufacturing location responsible for new product development and product improvements. Our research, development and engineering units at the manufacturing location maintain relationships with distribution locations and customers in order to provide an understanding of changes in the market and product needs. During 2004 and into 2005 we invested in the J Plasma Technology, the Suture Removal Technology, the Gastrointestinal “GI” device and undertook development of Cardio and Urological Electrosurgical devices for a contractual partner. The suture removal device and the GI device are slated to be marketed during the first six months of 2006. The ongoing cost for this development will be paid from operating cash flows.

In the next year we do not contemplate any material purchase or acquisition of assets which our ordinary cash flow and or credit line would not be able to sustain.

We believe that Bovie has the financial resources needed to meet business requirements in the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures needed for the expansion of our manufacturing site, working capital requirements, and product development programs, subject to Bovie maintaining compliance with our credit facility.

Reliance on Collaborative, Manufacturing and Selling Arrangements

We are dependent on certain contractual OEM customers for product development wherein we are to provide the manufacturing of the product developed. However, the customers have no legal obligation to purchase the developed products. Should the collaborative customer fail to give us purchase orders for the product after development, our future business and value of related assets could be negatively affected. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that a collaborative customer may give sufficient high priority to our products. In addition, disagreements or disputes may arise between Bovie and its contractual customers which could adversely affect production of our products. We also have similar informal collaborative arrangements with two foreign suppliers except that we request the development of certain items and components and we purchase them from the foreign supplier pursuant to purchase orders. Our purchase orders are never for more than one year and are supported by customer purchase orders from our customers.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital at September 30, 2005 decreased $.18 million to $5.37million from $5.55 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in working capital was primarily a result of investing in fixed assets and not financing those purchases. Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities together increased by .12 million from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005 as a result of the projective growth in the business due to new product development. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 49.6 days and 44.2 days at September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The annual rate of inventory turns for September 2005 was 2.5 and 4.06 for September 2004.

BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION

We applied cash to operations of .27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared with providing $1.77 million in the same period of 2004. The decrease in cash from operations for the period end September 30, 2005 in comparison to the prior year is primarily due to the reduction of earnings of $1.025 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we used $.78 million for the purchase of fixed assets. Total borrowing declined by $23,748 which is the amount by which we reduced our first mortgage.

We had 1.27 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2005. We also had outstanding borrowings totaling $.32 million at that date. Current maturities of long-term debt at September 30, 2005 were $31,668. We believe our cash on hand, as well as anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund future operating capital requirements, future manufacturing facility construction and other capital expenditures and future acquisitions to supplement our current product offerings. Should additional funds be required, we have $1.5 million of additional borrowing capacity available under our existing credit facility.

Our future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained herein, particularly the statements regarding growth in the medical products industry, capital spending, research and development, and marketing and general and administrative expenses, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the factors discussed above, there are other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, such as business conditions and the general economies; competitive factors including rival manufacturers’ availability of components at reasonable prices; risk of nonpayment of accounts receivable; risks associated with foreign operations; and litigation involving intellectual property and consumer issues.

We believe that we have the product mix, facilities, personnel, competitive edge, operating cash flows and financial resources for business success in the immediate (1 year) future and distant future (after 1 year), but future revenues, costs, margins, product mix and profits are all subject to the influence of a number of factors, as discussed above.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America (U.S.). Our most significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

-17-



BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, minority investment, legal proceedings, research and development, warranty obligations, product liability, pension obligations, sales returns and discounts, and income taxes are updated as appropriate, which in most cases is at least quarterly. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial valuations, or various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and the results form the basis for making judgments about the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Our critical accounting estimates include the following:

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses in the collection of accounts receivable. We make estimates regarding the future ability of our customers to make required payments based on historical credit experience and expected future trends. If actual customer financial conditions are less favorable than projected by management, additional accounts receivable write-offs may be necessary, which could unfavorably affect future operating results.

Inventory Reserves

We maintain reserves for excess and obsolete inventory resulting from the potential inability to sell our products at prices in excess of current carrying costs. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, with new products and surgical procedures introduced on an ongoing basis. Such marketplace changes may cause our products to become obsolete. We make estimates regarding the future recoverability of the costs of these products and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based on historical experience, and expected future trends. If actual product life cycles, product demand or acceptance of new product introductions are less favorable than projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required, which could unfavorably affect future operating results.

Income Taxes

We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions both inside and outside the United States. Accordingly, management must determine the appropriate allocation of income to each of these jurisdictions. Tax audits associated with the allocation of this income and other complex issues may require an extended period of time to resolve and may result in income tax adjustments if changes to the income allocation are required between jurisdictions with different tax rates. Because tax adjustments in certain jurisdictions can be significant, we record accruals representing our best estimate of the probable resolution of these matters. To the extent additional information becomes available, such accruals are adjusted to reflect the revised estimated probable outcome.
 
Other Matters

We distribute our products throughout the world. As a result, our financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Our operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates among the United States dollar and European currencies, in particular the Euro and the British pound. When the United States dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the dollar value of sales denominated in foreign currencies increases. When the United States dollar strengthens, the opposite situation occurs. We manufacture our products in the United States, China and Bulgaria and incur the costs to manufacture in US dollars. This worldwide deployment of factories serves to partially mitigate the impact of the high costs of manufacturing in the US.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision to Statement No. 123, Share-Based Payment. This revision supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This revision requires companies to recognize the cost of stock options based on the grant-date fair value pursuant to their employee stock option plans over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for the options, typically the vesting period. Pursuant to the requirements of the Statement, and amendments we plan to adopt the provisions of the standard during the fiscal year 2006. (See Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies)
