Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
 
Reference should be made to iCAD, Inc.'s (“iCAD” or “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a comprehensive summary of significant accounting policies.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at March 31, 2006, the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in the footnotes prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America has been omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10−K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006. The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, or any future period. Interim period amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year.

(2)
Convertible Loan Payable to Related Party
 
The Company has a Revolving Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Mr. Robert Howard, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, under which Mr. Howard has agreed to advance funds, or to provide guarantees of advances made by third parties in an amount up to $5,000,000. The Loan Agreement expires March 31, 2007, subject to extension by the parties, with an agreement from Mr. Howard that he will not call in the principal balance of the note any earlier than March 31, 2008. Accordingly, the outstanding borrowings related to the loan payable have been classified as a long-term liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006. Outstanding advances are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and bear interest at prime interest rate plus 1% (8.75% at March 31, 2006). Mr. Howard is entitled to convert outstanding advances made by him under the Loan Agreement into shares of the Company's common stock at any time based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock at the lesser of the market price at the time each advance is made or at the time of conversion. At March 31, 2006, $258,906 was outstanding under the Loan Agreement and $4,741,094 was available for future borrowings.

Acquisition of Qualia Computing, Inc.
 
On December 31, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Qualia Computing, Inc., a privately-held company based in Beavercreek, Ohio, and its subsidiaries, including CADx Systems, Inc. (together “CADx”). To complete the acquisition, iCAD issued 4,300,000 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 13% of the outstanding shares of iCAD common stock after the merger. The value of the Company’s common stock issued was based upon a per share value of $5.70, equal to the closing price on November 28, 2003, the day the acquisition was announced. Additionally, iCAD paid $1,550,000 in cash and executed a 36-month secured promissory note in the amount of $4,500,000 at prime interest rate plus 1% (8.75% at March 31, 2006) to purchase Qualia shares that were owned by two institutional investors. The note is payable in quarterly installments of $375,000 plus accrued interest. At March 31, 2006, $1,500,000 was outstanding under the secured promissory note and the entire amount is classified as a short term liability.

Stock-Based Compensation 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”). FAS 123R is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”). The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”. This statement establishes standards for and requires the recognition of the cost of employment-related services settled in share-based payment.

As a result of adopting the new standard, the stock-based compensation charge, included in general and administration expense during the three months ended March 31, 2006, totaled approximately $7,700. The effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123R to stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was as follows:

The Company calculated the fair value of each grant of options at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants in 2005: no dividends paid; expected volatility of 80.6%; risk-free interest rate of 3.69, 3.91% and 4.18% and an average expected life of 5 years. The Company did not grant any options during the three month period ended March 31, 2006.

At the beginning of the second quarter of 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 1,175,000 of its common stock to new employees of which approximately 470,000 of the options will be exercisable in 2006. The Company expects that these grants will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and earnings per share in future periods.

Intellectual Property 

On April 18, 2005, the Company received a letter from R2 Technology, Inc. (“R2”), advising the Company of R2’s position that the Company’s Second Look® product lines allegedly infringed on US Patents 6,266,435, 6,477,262 and 6,574,357, which are licensed to R2. A three member arbitration panel was named and the Company's patent dispute with R2, including counterclaims by the Company that R2 infringes on US Patents 6,115,488, 6,556,699 and 6,650,766, which are owned by the Company, proceeded to a hearing before the panel on October 18 and 19, 2005. On April 19, 2006 the panel of arbitrators in the case entitled R2 Technology and Shih-Ping Wang vs. iCAD, Inc. found that the Company did not infringe any patent asserted by R2. The arbitrators also found that R2 did not infringe any of the patents asserted by the Company.

Subsequent Events

On April 19, 2006, W. Scott Parr resigned as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company effective May 15, 2006. Mr. Parr will remain as a Director of the Company and was appointed by the Board as its non-executive Vice Chairman. On that same day, the Board of Directors of the Registrant appointed Kenneth M. Ferry as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a Class I member of the Company’s Board of Directors, also effective May 15, 2006.

The description of Mr. Ferry’s employment agreement was contained in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2006.
 
On April 27, 2006, Hologic, Inc., (“Hologic)” one of the Company’s OEM customers for CAD for digital mammography, and R2, the Company’s principal competitor in the mammography CAD market, announced that Hologic would acquire R2 and that R2 would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hologic. It was indicated by both parties that the transaction is subject to a variety of conditions, and it was indicated by Hologic that a closing is anticipated within a few months. The Company believes that this transaction, if completed, will result in substantially all of Hologic’s future mammography CAD orders and business being directed to R2. Sales by the Company to Hologic represented approximately $1.5 million, or 8% of the Company’s sales, in the fiscal year 2005, and approximately $700,000, or 16% of the Company’s sales, in the first quarter of 2006.

Results of Operations

Overview

 iCAD develops computer aided detection (CAD) products for the early detection of breast cancer and other healthcare related applications. The Company’s Second Look ® products for early detection of breast cancer are currently available for use with film based and digital mammography practices. Early detection of breast cancer can save lives and often permits less costly, less invasive and less disfiguring cancer treatment options than when the cancer is detected at a later stage.

iCAD is the only independent, integrated digitizer hardware and CAD software company offering computer aided detection solutions for the detection of breast cancer. As such, the Company believes it is able to reduce costs at each step in the CAD product design, production and assembly process. The Company believes that its vertical integration of CAD and hardware development results in better integration of software and film digitizer components, lower production costs and reduced administrative overhead. These factors have allowed iCAD to enhance its CAD product line, while reducing the costs of the Company’s CAD products to many customers and allowing more women to realize the benefits inherent in the early detection of breast cancer.

The Company’s CAD systems include proprietary software technology together with standard computer and display equipment. CAD systems for the film-based mammography market also include a radiographic film digitizer manufactured by the Company that utilizes the Company’s proprietary technology and offers what the Company believes is superior performance for the digitization of film based medical images. The Company’s headquarters are located in southern New Hampshire, with contract manufacturing facilities in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies are set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”). FAS 123R is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”). The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”. This statement establishes standards for and requires the recognition of the cost of employment-related services settled in share-based payment.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, “Inventory Costs”, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”. SFAS 151 amends previous guidance regarding treatment of abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage. This statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” specified in ARB 43. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of the production be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. This pronouncement became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 151 by the Company did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2006 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2005

Sales. Sales of the Company’s CAD and medical imaging products for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $4,373,650, compared with sales of $6,007,607 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Company believes that sales in the first quarter of 2006 were significantly and adversely affected by discussions underway at the time, regarding a potential merger with R2, its principal competitor. The possibility of such a merger required that the Company defer hiring to fill key sales and marketing management positions and caused a significant distraction to its field sales force. In February 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors made the decision to terminate such merger discussions. Since this decision, the Company believes it has made substantial progress in correcting these problems, and has taken action to improve its sales and marketing management and capabilities.

On April 27, 2006, Hologic, one of the Company’s OEM customers for CAD for digital mammography, and R2, the Company’s principal competitor in the mammography CAD market, announced that Hologic would acquire R2 and that R2 would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hologic. It was indicated by both parties that the transaction is subject to a variety of conditions, and it was indicated by Hologic that a closing is anticipated within a few months. The Company believes that this transaction, if completed, will result in substantially all of Hologic’s future mammography CAD orders and business being directed to R2. Sales by the Company to Hologic represented approximately $1.5 million, or 8% of the Company’s sales, in 2005, and approximately $700,000, or 16% of the Company’s sales, in the first quarter of 2006.

During the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to customer demand towards more affordable CAD systems, the Company sold more of its lower priced SecondLook® 300 and 200 systems over its higher priced SecondLook 700 systems. The table below presents the number of units and sales attributable to different product and service types for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2006.

Gross Margin. Gross margin was 79% of sales for both the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company’s sales of its higher margin CAD products and continued production economies supported gross margins at comparable levels experienced in 2005. The Company believes that increasing sales of products for digital mammography can contribute to increasing gross margins over time because these products are primarily software in nature and therefore, have lower cost than certain of the Company’s analog products which have higher cost hardware components.

Engineering and Product Development. Engineering and product development costs for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 increased by $303,150, from $1,016,048 in 2005 to $1,319,198 in 2006. The increase in engineering and product development costs was primarily due to software engineering related to pending releases of the Company’s improved breast cancer detection algorithms, and the expansion of the Company’s efforts in product development for computed tomographic applications, especially early detection of colonic polyps.

13


General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $526,845 from $1,222,208 in 2005 to $1,749,053 in 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in legal expenses, totaling approximately $500,000, principally associated with the Company’s recently concluded patent arbitration proceeding with R2, as well as professional and other expenses associated with merger discussions with R2. Excluding these increases in legal and professional expenses, the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 would have been lower than the preceding year as a result of actions taken by the Company in 2005 to reduce its administrative staff and associated expenses.
 
Marketing and Sales Expenses. Marketing and sales expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $234,721 from $1,750,966 in 2005 to $1,985,687 in 2006. The increase in marketing and sales expenses primarily results from the actions taken by the Company during the third quarter of 2005 to increase its sales force and improve its advertising and marketing efforts.

Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased from $32,883 in 2005 to $6,727 in 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loan balances and the action taken during the fourth quarter of 2005, based on a previous agreement from the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Robert Howard, to reduce the interest rate pursuant to the Loan Agreement to prime rate plus 1% from prime rate plus 2%.
 
Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net loss of ($1,605,894) or ($0.04) per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 on sales of $4,373,650, compared to net income of $641,929 or $0.02 per share from the same period in 2005 on sales of $6,007,607.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes that its current liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to support and sustain operations through at least the next 12 months, primarily due to cash expected to be generated from continuing operations and the availability of a $5,000,000 credit line under the Loan Agreement with its Chairman, Mr. Robert Howard, of which $4,741,094 was available at March 31, 2006. The Loan Agreement expires March 31, 2007, subject to extension by the parties. Outstanding advances are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and bear interest at prime interest rate plus 1%, (8.75% at March 31, 2006). The Company's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its future capital requirements beyond the next 12 months will depend primarily on operating cash flow. If sales or cash collections are reduced from current expectations, or if expenses and cash requirements are increased, the Company may require additional financing.

At March 31, 2006 the Company had current assets of $9,419,157, current liabilities of $8,037,988 and working capital of $1,381,169. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.2:1

14


Net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $893,904, compared to $260,453 for the same period in 2005. The cash used for the three months ended March 31, 2006 resulted from the net loss of $1,605,894, increases in inventory of $579,622 and other current assets of $97,978, and a decreased in accrued expenses of $642,219, offset by the decrease in accounts receivable of $1,143,837 and increases in accounts payable, accrued interest and deferred revenue totaling $483,019, plus non-cash depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation of $404,953.

The net cash used for investing activities, which consisted of additions to property and equipment, for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was $102,557, compared to $275,241 for the comparable period in 2005.

Net cash used for financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $375,000 compared to $255,735 for the same period in 2005. The increase in cash used for financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was due to the absence of common stock issuance in 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Subsequent Events

On April 18, 2005, the Company received a letter from R2, advising the Company of R2’s position that the Company’s Second Look® product lines allegedly infringed on US Patents 6,266,435, 6,477,262 and 6,574,357, which are licensed to R2. A three member arbitration panel was named and the Company's patent dispute with R2, including counterclaims by the Company that R2 infringes on US Patents 6,115,488, 6,556,699 and 6,650,766, which are owned by the Company, proceeded to a hearing before the panel on October 18 and 19, 2005. On April 19, 2006 the panel of arbitrators in the case entitled R2 Technology and Shih-Ping Wang vs. iCAD, Inc. found that the Company did not infringe any patent asserted by R2. The arbitrators also found that R2 did not infringe any of the patents asserted by the Company.

On April 19, 2006, W. Scott Parr resigned as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company effective May 15, 2006. Mr. Parr will remain as a Director of the Company and was appointed by the Board as its non-executive Vice Chairman. On that same day, the Board of Directors of the Registrant appointed Kenneth M. Ferry as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a Class I member of the Company’s Board of Directors, also effective May 15, 2006.

On April 27, 2006, Hologic one of the Company’s OEM customers for CAD for digital mammography, and R2, the Company’s principal competitor in the mammography CAD market, announced that Hologic would acquire R2 and that R2 would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hologic. It was indicated by both parties that the transaction is subject to a variety of conditions, and it was indicated by Hologic that a closing is anticipated within a few months. The Company believes that this transaction, if completed, will result in substantially all of Hologic’s future mammography CAD orders and business being directed to R2. Sales by the Company to Hologic represented approximately $1.5 million, or 8% of the Company’s sales, in 2005, and approximately $700,000, or 16% of the Company’s sales, in the first quarter of 2006.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (”Exchange Act”)) were effective at the reasonable level of assurance.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations to enhance, where necessary its procedures and controls.
 
The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer conducted an evaluation of the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) to determine whether any changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during such period.
