Organization and Basis of Presentation
ResMed Inc. (referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed in March 1994 as a holding company for the ResMed Group. Through our subsidiaries, we design, manufacture and market equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing and other respiratory disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea. Our manufacturing operations are located in Australia, Germany, France and the United States of America. Major distribution and sales sites are located in the United States of America, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia and Sweden.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2007.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
(b)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue on product sales is generally recorded upon shipment, at which time title transfers to the customer. Revenue on product sales, which requires customer acceptance, is not recorded until acceptance is received. Royalty revenue from license agreements is recorded when earned. Service revenue received in advance from service contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service contract. Revenue received in advance from rental unit contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue from sale of marketing or distribution rights is initially deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the life of the contract. Freight charges billed to customers are included in revenue. All freight-related expenses are charged to cost of sales.
We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products, other than returns for product defects or other warranty claims, nor do we recognize revenues if we offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or activities. However, as part of our sales processes, we may provide upfront discounts for large orders, one-time special pricing to support new product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price-breaks for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. In our U.S. sales activities, we use a number of manufacturer representatives to sell our products. These representatives are paid a direct commission on sales and act as an integral component of our U.S. sales force. We do not sell our products directly to these representatives and therefore, do not recognize revenue on such shipments. Our products consist predominantly of therapy-based equipment and require no installation. As such, we have no significant installation obligations.
(c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid investments and are stated at cost, which approximates market. Investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are considered to be cash equivalents for purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(d)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. We review and provide for any product obsolescence in our manufacturing and distribution operations with assessments of individual products and components (based on estimated future usage and sales) being performed throughout the year.
- 7 -
(e)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, including rental equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two to ten years except for buildings, which are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
We capitalize interest in connection with the construction of facilities. Actual construction costs incurred relating to facilities under active development qualify for interest capitalization. Interest capitalization ceases when the construction of a facility is complete and available for use. During the three months and six months ended December 31, 2006, we capitalized $Nil and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest relating to such construction costs.
(f)
Intangible Assets
The registration costs for new patents are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent, generally five years. In the event of a patent being superseded, the unamortized costs are written off immediately.
Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to nine years. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No impairment of intangible assets has been identified during any of the periods presented.
(g)
Goodwill
We conducted our annual review for goodwill impairment as at June 30, 2006. In conducting our review of goodwill impairment, we identified reporting units, being components of our operating segment, as each of the entities acquired and giving rise to the goodwill. The fair value for each reporting unit was determined based on discounted cash flows and involved a two-step process as follows:
Step 1 -
Compare the fair value for each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. For each reporting unit where the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, move on to step 2. If a reporting unit’s fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.
- 8 -
Goodwill (continued)
Step 2 -
Allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non-goodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This will derive an implied fair value for the goodwill. Then, compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.
The results of the review indicated that no impaired goodwill existed at June 30, 2006.
(h)
Foreign Currency
The consolidated financial statements of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are other than U.S. dollars, are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than U.S. dollars are translated at period-end exchange rates, and revenue and expense transactions are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are recognized as part of comprehensive income, as described in Note 5, and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet until such time as the subsidiary is sold or substantially or completely liquidated. Gains and losses on transactions denominated in other than the functional currency of the entity are reflected in operations.
(i)
Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.
(j)
Earnings Per Share
We calculate earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”), as amended by SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments” (“SFAS 123 (R)”). SFAS 128 requires the presentation of “basic” earnings per share and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, net income is adjusted for the after-tax amount of interest associated with convertible debt, and the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and convertible notes.
- 9 -
The weighted average shares used to calculate basic earnings per share were 76,358,000 and 70,922,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and were 76,300,000 and 70,623,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The difference between basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is attributable to the impact of outstanding stock options during the periods presented and the assumed conversion of our convertible notes. Stock options had the effect of increasing the number of shares used in the calculation (by application of the treasury stock method) by 1,784,000 and 2,524,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 1,971,000 and 2,356,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The assumed conversion of our convertible notes had the effect of increasing the number of shares used in the calculation by Nil and 3,737,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and Nil and 3,737,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Stock options of 497,000 and 268,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and stock options of 748,000 and 613,000 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect of exercising these options would have been anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are calculated as follows (in thousands except per share data):
Numerator:
Net Income
Adjustment for interest and deferred borrowing costs, net of income tax effect
Net Income, used in calculating diluted earnings per share
Denominator:
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options
Convertible subordinated notes
Diluted potential common shares
Diluted weighted average shares
Diluted earnings per share

(k)
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities available-for-sale, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature. Foreign currency option contracts are marked to market and therefore reflect their fair value. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
(l)
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
We enter into various types of foreign exchange contracts in managing our foreign exchange risk, including derivative financial instruments encompassing forward exchange contracts and foreign currency options.
The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to protect us from adverse exchange rate fluctuations with respect to net cash movements resulting from the sales of products to foreign customers and resulting from our Australian manufacturing activities. We enter into foreign currency option contracts to hedge anticipated sales and manufacturing costs, principally denominated in Australian dollars and Euros. The terms of such foreign currency option contracts generally do not exceed three years.
Our foreign currency derivatives portfolio represents a cash flow hedge program against the net cash flow of our international manufacturing operations. We have determined our hedge program to be a non effective hedge as defined under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). The foreign currency derivatives portfolio is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and included in other assets or other liabilities.
All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives are recorded within other income, net of our condensed consolidated statements of income.
We are exposed to credit-related losses, in the event of non performance by counter parties to financial instruments. The credit exposure of foreign exchange options at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 was $2.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which represents the positive fair value of options held by us and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
- 11 -
Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Continued
We held foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts totaling $158.5 million and $193.4 million at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, to hedge foreign currency items. These contracts mature at various dates prior to December 2008.
(m)
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(n)
Marketable Securities
Management determines the appropriate classification of our investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which we do not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.
At December 31, 2006, the investments in debt securities were classified on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as marketable securities available-for-sale. These investments are diversified among high-credit quality securities in accordance with our investment policy and are principally comprised of corporate obligations.
At December 31, 2006, contractual maturities of marketable securities available-for-sale were all due in less than one year.
- 12 -
(o)
Warranty
Estimated future warranty costs related to certain products are charged to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The liability for warranty costs is included in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Changes in the liability for product warranty for the six months ended December 31, 2006 are as follows (in thousands):
Balance at July 1, 2006
Warranty accruals for the six months ended December 31, 2006
Warranty costs incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2006
Foreign currency translation adjustments
Balance at December 31, 2006
(p)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including certain identifiable intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
(q)
Cost-Method Investments
The aggregate carrying amount of our cost-method investments at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, was $4.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively. These include investments in privately held service companies, research companies and publicly traded companies and are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2006, we performed an analysis of the carrying value of these investments and an unrealized loss of $1.4 million was identified in relation to an investment in a public company. The severity of the impairment (fair value is approximately 41% less than the cost) and the duration of the impairment (less than 9 months) correlate with a devaluation in both the currency of the shares against the U.S. dollar and the actual share price. Because we have the ability and intent to hold this investment until a recovery of the fair value and because the decline in fair value is partly attributable to exchange rate movements, we do not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2006. Except for the unrealized loss, we have determined that the fair value of the investments exceeds the carrying values.

(r)
Stock-Based Employee Compensation
We have granted stock options to personnel, including officers and directors, under our 1995 Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), our 1997 Equity Participation Plan (the “1997 Plan”) and our 2006 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan” and together with the 1995 Plan and the 1997 Plan, the “Plans”). These options have expiration dates of seven or ten years from the date of grant and vest over three or four years. We granted these options with the exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant. We have also offered to our personnel, including officers and directors, the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount under our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”).
As of July 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123 (R) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation expense of all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, the unrecognized expense of awards not yet vested at the date of adoption, determined under the original provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), shall be recognized in net income in the periods after adoption. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, using the graded-attribution method for stock-based awards granted prior to July 1, 2005 and the straight-line method for stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005.
- 14 -
Stock-Based Employee Compensation, Continued
The fair value of stock options granted under our stock option plans and purchase rights granted under our ESPP is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, assuming no dividends and the following assumptions:
Three months ended
December 31,
2006 2005
Six months ended
Stock options:
Weighted average grant date fair value
Weighted average risk-free interest rate
Expected option life in years
Expected volatility
ESPP purchase rights:
Expected option life
Expected volatilities are based on a combination of historical volatilities of our stock and implied volatilities from traded options of our stock. The expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.
(3)
The estimated fair value of marketable securities available-for-sale as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 are $22.0 million and $NIL, respectively. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets is comprised of the following as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 (in thousands):
Developed/core product technology
Accumulated amortization
Developed/core product technology, net of accumulated amortization
Trade names
Trade names, net of accumulated amortization
Customer relationships
Customer relationships, net of accumulated amortization
Patents
Patents, net of accumulated amortization
Other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization
Intangible assets consist of patents, customer relationships, trade names and developed/core product technology and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets, generally between five and nine years. There are no expected residual values related to these intangible assets.
In fiscal year 2005, as part of the acquisition of Saime, we recognized an intangible asset with respect to developed/core product technology. Specifically, this technology related to the design and architecture of the hardware and algorithms that formed part of Saime’s ventilation products and is the subject of patents and other intellectual property protections. This technology is separable from goodwill as it is capable of being sold, transferred or licensed. This represents proprietary know-how predominantly associated with the following portfolio of products that were technologically feasible at the date of acquisition:
Elisee Series: Combines all conventional ventilation modes and monitoring functions; and
(ii)
VS Series (including Serena, Ultra and Integra): A new generation of ventilators using new blower technology.
Both of these series of products continue to generate revenue, which is consistent with the original expectations. Although no assurance can be given that the underlying assumptions used to value the acquired developed/core product technology will transpire as estimated, we remain confident in the assumptions used and, as a result, the net return of the Saime acquisition.

Revolving Facility
On March 13, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiaries ResMed Corp., Servo Magnetics Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement with Union Bank of California, N.A. as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for a revolving loan of up to $75 million. Draws under the revolving loan must be made before March 1, 2011, at which time all unpaid principal and interest must be repaid. The outstanding principal amount due under the loan will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.00% (depending on the applicable leverage ratio). At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.
The obligations of ResMed Corp., Servo Magnetics Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the personal property of each of ResMed Corp., Servo Magnetics Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc., and are guaranteed by ResMed Inc. under an Amended and Restated Continuing Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, which guaranty is secured by a pledge of the equity interests in ResMed Corp., Servo Magnetics Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. held by ResMed Inc. The Loan Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Inc. maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), a fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and a minimum ResMed Corp., Servo Magnetics Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc.

The entire principal amount of the revolving loan and any accrued but unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Loan Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make payments when due, the occurrence of a material default in the performance of any covenants in the Loan Agreement or related document or a 35% or more change in control of ResMed Inc., ResMed Corp., Servo Magnetics Inc. or ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. At December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with our debt covenants

Long-Term Debt, Continued
Syndicated Facility
On June 8, 2006, our wholly owned Australian subsidiary, ResMed Limited, entered into a Syndicated Facility Agreement with HSBC Bank Australia Limited as original financier, facility agent and security trustee, that provides for a loan in three tranches (the “Syndicated Facility Agreement”).
Tranche A is an EUR 50 million five-year term loan facility that refinances all amounts outstanding under a syndicated facility agreement dated May 16, 2005, between ResMed Limited and HSBC Bank Australia Limited, to fund the obligations of our wholly owned French subsidiary ResMed SAS under its agreement to acquire Saime SA. Tranche A bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of ResMed Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “ResMed Group”) for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. Payments of principal must be made to reduce the total outstanding principal amount of Tranche A to EUR 44.5 million on June 30, 2007, EUR 37.75 million on June 30, 2008, EUR 27.5 million on June 30, 2009, EUR 15 million on December 31, 2009, and the entire outstanding principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At December 31, 2006, the Tranche A facility loan had an amount outstanding of USD 63.7 million.
Tranche B is a USD 15 million term loan facility that may only be used for the purpose of financing capital expenditures and other asset acquisitions by the ResMed Group. Tranche B bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR, Australian dollars, USD or Sterling plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At December 31, 2006, the Tranche B facility loan had an amount outstanding of USD 5.9 million.
Tranche C is a USD 60 million term loan facility that may only be used for the purpose of the payment by ResMed Limited of a dividend to ResMed Holdings Limited, which will ultimately be paid to ResMed Inc. Tranche C bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR, Australian dollars or USD plus a margin of 0.70% or 0.80%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. Payments of principal must be made to reduce the total outstanding principal amount of Tranche C to USD 30 million on December 31, 2007 and the entire outstanding principal amount must be repaid in full by June 8, 2009. At December 31, 2006, the Tranche C facility loan had an amount outstanding of USD 59.4 million.
Simultaneous with the Syndicated Facility Agreement, ResMed Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank Australia Limited for revolving, letter of credit and overdraft facilities up to a total commitment of 6.5 million Australian dollars for one year, and ResMed (UK) Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank plc for a revolving cash advance facility up to a total commitment of 3 million Sterling for one year. At December 31, 2006, there was USD 3.9 million outstanding under these working capital agreements.
- 19 -
The loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the shares of ResMed Inc.’s subsidiary, Saime SAS, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement. The Syndicated Facility Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Limited maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum debt service cover ratio, a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA and a minimum tangible net worth. The entire principal amount of the loan and any accrued, but unpaid, interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Syndicated Facility Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make payments when due, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, the occurrence of certain insolvency events, the occurrence of an event or change which could have a material adverse effect on ResMed Limited and its subsidiaries, and if ResMed Inc. ceases to control ResMed Limited, ResMed Corp., ResMed SAS, ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited, Take Air Medical Handels-GmbH or Saime SAS.
The obligations of ResMed Limited under the loan are subject to two guarantee and indemnity agreements, one on behalf of ResMed Inc. and its U.S. subsidiary, ResMed Corp., and another on behalf of ResMed’s international subsidiaries, ResMed SAS (other than Tranche C), ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited and Take Air Medical Handels-GmbH. At December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.
Capital Lease
As part of the acquisition of Saime SAS, we assumed a capital lease over land and buildings. This lease contains an option to purchase the property, for nominal consideration, at the end of the lease term in September 2014.

Restructuring Expenses
There were no restructuring expenses incurred during the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $0.2 million and $1.1 million incurred during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. The prior year restructuring expenses (predominantly one-time termination benefits) were associated with the integration of the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit. We have completed the relocation of our ResMed Germany operation (previously located in Moenchengladbach) to Munich and integration of the back office functions including customer service, logistics and administration. We will continue to monitor the progress of this restructure and adjust our business strategies and personnel accordingly to achieve maximum efficiencies and cost savings.
Following is a summary of the restructuring liabilities related to the restructure and integration of the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit, which were recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Options. We have granted stock options to personnel, including officers and directors, in accordance with the Plans. These options have expiration dates of seven or ten years from the date of grant and vest over three or four years. We have granted these options with the exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant.
At our Annual Meeting of Shareholders that was held on November 9, 2006, our shareholders approved the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan succeeds and replaces the 1997 Plan, which authorized a maximum of 16,000,000 shares (as adjusted for stock splits) of our common stock and was adopted by the board of directors and then approved by the shareholders in November 1997. In connection with the adoption of the 2006 Plan, we have terminated the 1997 Plan as to any and all future awards.
The maximum number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan is 7,800,000 shares. The number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2006 Plan will be reduced by (i) two and one tenth (2.1) shares for each one share of common stock delivered in settlement of any “full-value award,” which is any award other than a stock option, stock appreciation right or other award for which the holder pays the intrinsic value and (ii) one share for each share of common stock delivered in settlement of all other awards. The maximum number of shares which may be subject to awards granted under the 2006 Plan to any individual during any fiscal year may not exceed 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Stockholders’ Equity, Continued
At December 31, 2006, there was $49.1 million in unrecognized compensation costs, related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements. This is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding and the options exercisable at December 31, 2006 was $178.4 million and $110.4 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised during the three months and six months ended December 31, 2006 was $6.1 million and $25.4 million, respectively. The total fair value of options that vested during the three months and six months ended December 31, 2006 was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP was approved by our stockholders at the Annual General Meeting in November 2003. Under the ESPP, participants are offered the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount during successive offering periods. Each offering period under the ESPP will be for a period of time determined by the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee of no less than 3 months and no more than 27 months. The purchase price for our common stock under the ESPP will be the lower of 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant or 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of purchase. An individual participant cannot subscribe to more than $25,000 in value of our common stock during any calendar year. There is a maximum of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock authorized for sale under the ESPP.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, we recognized $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP and issued 69,262 shares at a share price of $36.62.

Convertible Subordinated Notes. During the year ended June 30, 2006, and pursuant to the Indenture dated June 20, 2001 between us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, holders of all of the 4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 converted the notes into an aggregate of 3,737,593 shares of our common stock, par value $0.004. The notes were converted into 33 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes, at a conversion price of $30.30 per share. The dilutive impact of these conversions has been reflected in the reported diluted earnings per share.
Stock Split. On August 10, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of our common stock to be payable in the form of a 100% stock dividend distributed on September 30, 2005. Stockholders received one additional share of our common stock for every share held of record on September 15, 2005. All share and per share information has been adjusted for this stock split.

Legal Actions and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. While the results of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
During September and October 2004, the Company began receiving tax assessment notices for the audit of one of its German subsidiaries by the German tax authorities for the years 1996 through 1998. Certain of these adjustments are being contested and appealed to the German tax authority office. We believe no additional provision is necessary for any tax adjustment that may result from the tax audit. However, the outcome of the audit cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any tax audit issues be resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period of resolution.
On December 23, 2002, three former contractors of our subsidiary MAP Medizin-Technologie GmbH initiated proceedings in Munich 1 Regional Court (Proceedings No. 7 O 23286/02), petitioning the Court for a declaration of inventorship with respect to MAP German Patent Applications identified as No. 100 31 079 and 101 92 802.5 and European Patent Application No. EP 01 967 819.7. On March 10, 2005, the Court entered judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that they should be identified as co-inventors in place of certain individual defendants. In April 2005, MAP filed an appeal of that decision. We do not expect the outcome of this litigation to have an adverse material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, an Australian university made a demand that we pay extra royalties pursuant to a current patent license agreement. We rejected the demand and have informed the university that we do not consider the claim to have merit. The university has threatened to file a lawsuit against us based on its demand. We do not expect the outcome of this claim to have an adverse material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Acquisitions
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007
Western Medical Marketing (“WMM”). On October 4, 2006 we acquired the business assets of WMM, a distribution business operating in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. for a total cash consideration of $0.3 million. The acquisition has been accounted for using purchase accounting and accordingly the results of operations of WMM have been included in our consolidated financial statements from October 4, 2006. An amount of $0.3 million, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of preliminary identifiable net assets acquired, has been recorded as goodwill. We have not yet completed the purchase price allocation as the valuations of certain assets are not yet complete. We do not believe that the valuations will materially modify the preliminary purchase price allocation. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation by June 30, 2007.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2006
PolarMed Holding AS (“PolarMed”). As disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of PolarMed, the holding company for PolarMed AS and its affiliates, on December 1, 2005, for net cash consideration of $6.5 million. This was comprised of $6.8 million in consideration less $0.3 million of cash acquired. Additionally, as part of the acquisition, we assumed debt of $1.5 million. Under the purchase agreement, we may also be required to make additional future payments of up to $3.0 million based on the achievement of certain performance milestones following the acquisition through December 31, 2008. Of the potential additional future payments included within the purchase agreement, $1.0 million was accrued during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 as a result of the successful achievement of a performance milestone. This increased the total acquisition consideration to $7.8 million from $6.8 million and increased the amount recorded as goodwill to $5.4 million from $4.4 million.
Pulmomed Medizinisch-Technische Geräte GmbH (“Pulmomed”). As disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Pulmomed on July 1, 2005, for net cash consideration of $2.5 million, including acquisition costs. Additionally, as part of the acquisition, we assumed debt of $1.0 million. Under the purchase agreement, we may also be required to make additional future payments of up to $0.9 million based on the achievement of certain performance milestones following the acquisition through June 30, 2007. Of the potential additional future payments included within the purchase agreement, $0.3 million was paid during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 as a result of the successful achievement of a performance milestone. This additional payment was accrued at June 30, 2006, which increased the total acquisition consideration to $2.8 million from $2.5 million and increased the amount recorded as goodwill by $0.3 million to $2.1 million.

Business Acquisitions, Continued
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005
Hoefner Medizintechnick GmbH (“Hoefner”). As disclosed in our financial statements and Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Hoefner Medizintechnick GmbH (“Hoefner”) on February 14, 2005, for net cash consideration of $8.2 million. This was comprised of the $10.7 million in total consideration, including acquisition costs, less $2.5 million of cash acquired. Under the purchase agreement, additional future payments of up to $0.9 million are possible based on the achievement of certain performance milestones following the acquisition through December 31, 2006. Of these potential additional payments, $0.6 million was paid during fiscal 2006. The impact of this was to increase the total acquisition consideration to $11.3 million from $10.7 million and to increase the amount recorded as goodwill by $0.6 million to $8.8 million. The remaining $0.3 million was accrued at December 31, 2006 as a result of the successful achievement of a performance milestone. The impact of this was to increase the total acquisition consideration to $11.6 million and goodwill to $9.1 million.

Overview
The following is an overview of the results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2006. It should be read together with the detail provided in the individual sections below. In this report, all share numbers and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend that was declared on August 10, 2005 and distributed on September 30, 2005.

Overview, Continued
We are a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment for treating, diagnosing, and managing sleep-disordered breathing and other respiratory disorders. Sleep-disordered breathing, or SDB, includes obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, and other respiratory disorders that occur during sleep. When we were formed in 1989, our primary purpose was to commercialize a treatment for OSA developed by Professor Colin Sullivan. This treatment, nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, was the first successful noninvasive treatment for OSA. CPAP systems deliver pressurized air, typically through a nasal mask, to prevent collapse of the upper airway during sleep.
Since the development of CPAP, we have developed a number of innovative products for SDB and other respiratory disorders including airflow generators, diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories. Our growth has been fuelled by geographic expansion, increased awareness of respiratory conditions as a significant health concern among physicians and patients, and our research and product development efforts. Our net revenues are generated from the sale and rental of our various flow generator devices, nasal mask systems, accessories and other products, and, to a lesser extent from royalties and sales of custom motors.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2006 our net revenue and gross profit increased by 22% when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2005. These results were primarily driven by increasing unit sales of our products. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 increased to $0.37 per share, up from $0.30 per share in the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Gross margin was 63% for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and is higher than September 30, 2006 whilst consistent with the same period in fiscal 2006. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we recognized acquisition related amortization expenses and stock-based compensation costs of $1.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Net Revenue
Net revenue increased for the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $178.4 million as compared to $146.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $32.0 million or 22%. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators, masks and accessories. Movements in international currencies against the U.S. dollar positively impacted revenues by approximately $5.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2006.
Net revenue in North and Latin America increased for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to $94.0 million from $78.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $15.7 million or 20%. Excluding sales from our motor division, our net revenue in North and Latin America for sleep-disordered breathing products increased by 23% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005. The motor division has been reducing low margin non-core sales to concentrate on supply of motors for ResMed products. The revenue growth has been generated by increased public and physician awareness of sleep-disordered breathing together with our continued investment in our sales force and marketing initiatives. Recent product releases also contributed strongly to our sales growth.
- 27 -
Net Revenue, continued
Net revenue in international markets for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 increased to $84.4 million from $68.1 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $16.3 million or 24%. International sales growth in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 predominantly reflects organic growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market and the positive impact from movements in international currencies against the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of movements in international currencies, international sales grew by 15%.
Revenue from sales of flow generators for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 totaled $92.0 million, an increase of 21% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2005, including increases of 20% in North and Latin America and 22% elsewhere. Revenue from sales of mask systems, motors and other accessories totaled $86.4 million, an increase of 22%, including increases of 20% in North and Latin America and 22% elsewhere, for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2005. We believe these increases primarily reflect growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market and contributions from new products.
For the six months ended December 31, 2006, revenue from sales of flow generators increased by 24% compared to the six months ended December 31, 2005; 26% in North and Latin America and 22% internationally. Revenue from sales of mask systems, motors and other accessories increased by 26%; 27% in North and Latin America and 24% internationally, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2005. We believe these increases primarily reflect growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market, contributions from our recent acquisitions and strong sales from our new products.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to $111.8 million from $91.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $20.1 million or 22%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was 63% and is consistent with the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
Gross profit increased for the six months ended December 31, 2006 to $213.1 million from $171.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $41.2 million or 24%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was 62% compared to 63% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The lower gross margin is primarily due to a change in the geographical mix of our sales with a higher percentage of sales in North and Latin America, which typically generate lower margins relative to our international sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $57.3 million from $48.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $8.4 million or 17%. Stock-based compensation expenses of $3.8 million and $3.6 million have been included within the selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 32% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 33% for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the six months ended December 31, 2006 to $110.8 million from $93.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $17.2 million or 18%. Stock-based compensation expenses of $6.7 million and $6.5 million, have been included within the selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 32% for the six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 34% for the six months ended December 31, 2005.
The nominal increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of sales and administrative personnel to support our growth, the acquisition of Polarmed, continued infrastructure investment, particularly in our European businesses, and other expenses related to the increase in our sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was also attributable to net appreciation of international currencies against the US dollar, which added approximately $2.5 million and $3.6 million to our expenses for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, as reported in US dollars. As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future selling, general and administrative expense to continue in the range of 31% to 34%, including stock-based compensation expense.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased for the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $12.0 million from $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $3.4 million or 40%. Stock-based compensation expenses of $0.5 million, have been included within research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 6% for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
Research and development expenses increased for the six months ended December 31, 2006 to $22.9 million from $17.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $5.9 million or 35%. Stock-based compensation expenses of $1.0 million, have been included within research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to 6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005.
- 29 -
Research and Development Expenses, Continued
The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel, increased charges for consulting fees and an increase in technical assessments incurred to facilitate development of new products. The increase in research and development expenses was also attributable to net appreciation of international currencies against the US dollar, which added approximately $0.5 million to our expenses for both the three months and six months ended December 31, 2006 as reported in US dollars. As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future research and development expense to continue in the range of 6% to 7%, including stock-based compensation expense.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended December 31, 2006 totaled $1.7 million ($1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005) and related to acquired intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Pulmomed, Saime, Hoefner, Resprecare and Polarmed.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the six months ended December 31, 2006 totaled $3.4 million ($3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005) and related to acquired intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Pulmomed, Saime, Hoefner, Resprecare and Polarmed.
There were no restructuring expenses incurred during the three or six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $0.2 million and $1.1 million incurred during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. The prior year restructuring expenses were mainly associated with the integration of the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit. This restructure is now complete.
Our effective income tax rate of approximately 31.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 remained consistent with the effective income tax rate of approximately 31.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
Our effective income tax rate of approximately 31.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was largely consistent with our effective tax rate of 31.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. We continue to benefit from the relatively low Australian corporate tax rate of 30% and certain Australian research and development tax benefits because we generate a majority of our taxable income in Australia.

Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased to net income of $1.6 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Other income (expense), net for the six months ended December 31, 2006 increased to net income of $2.5 million compared to net expense of $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in other income was predominantly due to higher interest income on additional cash balances and the lower interest expense due to the reduction in our convertible debt, which was converted into equity during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
As a result of the factors above, our net income for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $29.0 million or $0.37 per diluted share compared to net income of $22.3 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
As a result of the factors above, our net income for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was $54.0 million or $0.69 per diluted share compared to net income of $38.8 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2005.
Western Medical Marketing (“WMM”). On October 4, 2006 we acquired the business assets of WMM, a distribution business operating in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. for a total cash consideration of $0.3 million. The acquisition has been accounted for using purchase accounting and accordingly, the results of operations of WMM have been included in our consolidated financial statements from October 4, 2006. An amount of $0.3 million, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of preliminary identifiable net assets acquired, has been recorded as goodwill. We have not yet completed the purchase price allocation as the valuations of certain assets are not yet complete. We do not believe that the valuations will materially modify the preliminary purchase price allocation. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation by June 30, 2007.

Business Acquisitions, continued
Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2006
PolarMed Holding AS (“PolarMed”). As disclosed in our financial statements and Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of PolarMed, the holding company for PolarMed AS and its affiliates, on December 1, 2005, for net cash consideration of $6.5 million. This was comprised of $6.8 million in consideration less $0.3 million of cash acquired. Additionally, as part of the acquisition, we assumed debt of $1.5 million. Under the purchase agreement, we may also be required to make additional future payments of up to $3.0 million based on the achievement of certain performance milestones following the acquisition through December 31, 2008. Of the potential additional future payments included within the purchase agreement, $1.0 million was accrued during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 as a result of the successful achievement of a performance milestone. This increased the total acquisition consideration to $7.8 million from $6.8 million and increased the amount recorded as goodwill to $5.4 million from $4.4 million.
Pulmomed Medizinisch-Technische Geräte GmbH (“Pulmomed”). As disclosed in our financial statements and Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Pulmomed on July 1, 2005, for net cash consideration of $2.5 million, including acquisition costs. Additionally, as part of the acquisition, we assumed debt of $1.0 million. Under the purchase agreement, we may also be required to make additional future payments of up to $0.9 million based on the achievement of certain performance milestones following the acquisition through June 30, 2007. Of the potential additional future payments included within the purchase agreement, $0.3 million was paid during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 as a result of the successful achievement of a performance milestone. This additional payment was accrued at June 30, 2006, which increased the total acquisition consideration to $2.8 million from $2.5 million and increased the amount recorded as goodwill by $0.3 million to $2.1 million.
Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2005

Liquidity and Capital Resources, Continued
As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available-for-sale of $254.6 million and $219.5 million, respectively. Working capital was $427.2 million and $381.3 million at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Inventories at December 31, 2006 increased by $34.4 million or 32% to $141.9 million compared to December 31, 2005 inventories of $107.5 million. The percentage increase in inventories was higher than the 25% increase in revenues in the six-month period ended December 31, 2006 compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2005. The higher inventory growth reflects increased inventory levels to accommodate our increasing sales and additional inventory associated with the introduction of new products such as the VPAP Adapt SV and Tango.
Accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 were $143.6 million, an increase of $28.2 million or 24% over the December 31, 2005 accounts receivable balance of $115.4 million. This increase was lower than the 25% incremental increase in revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2005. Accounts receivable days outstanding were 72 days for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, compared to 70 days for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Our allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 was 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively. The credit quality of our customers remains consistent with our past experience.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, we generated cash of $43.7 million from operations, primarily as a result of the increase in net income. The cash generated from operations included a reduction of $7.4 million due to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) as tax benefits associated with employee stock options exercised during the quarter are required to be included within cashflows from financing activities.
Capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 2006, and 2005 aggregated $45.1 million and $63.2 million, respectively. The capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 2006 primarily reflected the construction of our new research and development and office facilities, computer hardware and software, rental and loan equipment and purchase of production tooling equipment and machinery. As a result of these capital expenditures, our balance sheet reflects net property, plant and equipment of approximately $282.3 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $245.4 million at June 30, 2006.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, we completed the construction of our new research and development and office facilities at our existing site in Sydney, Australia. We incurred construction costs of $12.0 million to complete our new building during the six months ended December 31, 2006. We expect to commence the construction of an extension to our manufacturing facility in Sydney, Australia during the quarter ending March 31, 2007 and we estimate that this additional construction will cost approximately $11.9 million. We expect to complete this extension within the next year and to fund the project through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

On July 7, 2005, we purchased a 9.78-acre parcel of land in San Diego for $21.0 million. The new location at Kearney Mesa, San Diego will allow us to develop a new corporate headquarters. We are currently evaluating building options in relation to our new corporate headquarters.

On March 13, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiaries ResMed Corp., Servo Magnetics Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement with Union Bank of California, N.A. as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Loan Agreement”), that provides for a revolving loan of up to $75 million. The Loan Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that we maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), a fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and that certain of our subsidiaries maintain a minimum EBITDA and liquidity. We are currently in compliance with all of these covenants. Draws under the revolving loan must be made before March 1, 2011, at which time all unpaid principal and interest must be repaid. The outstanding principal amount due under the loan will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.00% (depending on the applicable leverage ratio). At December 31, 2006 there were no amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.
- 34 -
On June 8, 2006, our wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, ResMed Limited, entered into a Syndicated Facility Agreement with HSBC Bank Australia Limited as original financier, facility agent and security trustee, that provides for a loan in three tranches.
Tranche A is a EUR 50 million term loan facility that refinances all amounts outstanding under a previous syndicated facility agreement dated May 16, 2005 between ResMed Limited and HSBC Bank Australia Limited, to fund the obligations of our wholly owned French subsidiary ResMed SAS under its agreement to acquire Saime SA). Tranche A bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. Payments of principal must be made to reduce the total outstanding principal amount of Tranche A to EUR 44.5 million on June 30, 2007, EUR 37.75 million on June 30, 2008, EUR 27.5 million on June 30, 2009, EUR 15 million on December 31, 2009, and the entire outstanding principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At December 31, 2006, the Tranche A facility loan had an amount outstanding of USD 63.7 million.
Tranche B is a USD 15 million term loan facility that may only be used for the purpose of financing capital expenditures and other asset acquisitions by the ResMed Group. Tranche B bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR, Australian dollars, USD or Sterling plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At December 31, 2006, the Tranche B facility loan agreement had an outstanding amount of USD 5.9 million.
Simultaneous with the Syndicated Facility Agreement, ResMed Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank Australia Limited for revolving, letter of credit and overdraft facilities up to a total commitment of 6.5 million Australian dollars for one year, and ResMed (UK) Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank plc for a revolving cash advance facility up to a total commitment of 3 million Sterling for one year. At December 31, 2006, there was an amount of USD 3.9 million outstanding under these working capital agreements.
- 35 -
Syndicated Facility, continued
The loan is secured by a pledge of one hundred percent of the shares of ResMed Inc.’s subsidiary, Saime SAS, pursuant to a Pledge Agreement. The Syndicated Facility Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Limited maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum debt service cover ratio, a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA and a minimum tangible net worth. The entire principal amount of the loan and any accrued but unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Syndicated Facility Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make payments when due, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, the occurrence of certain insolvency events, the occurrence of an event or change which could have a material adverse effect on ResMed Limited and its subsidiaries, and if ResMed Inc. ceases to control ResMed Limited, ResMed Corp., ResMed SAS, ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited, Take Air Medical Handels-GmbH or Saime SAS.
We expect to satisfy all of our short-term liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, our $75 million undrawn revolving line of credit with Union Bank of California and our $16.2 million undrawn facilities with HSBC.
The results of our international operations are affected by changes in exchange rates between currencies. Changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our consolidated net revenue and gross profit margins from international operations. We are exposed to the risk that the dollar value equivalent of anticipated cash flows would be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We manage this risk through foreign currency option contracts.
Stock Split
On August 10, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of our common stock which was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. Stockholders received one additional share of common stock for every share held of record on September 15, 2005. All share numbers and per share amounts contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split.

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty obligations, goodwill, impaired assets, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies.
We state these accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements and at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. The estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
(1) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments, which results in bad debt expense. We determine the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual customer receivables, considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
(2) Inventory Adjustments. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and are determined by the first-in, first-out method. We review the components of inventory on a regular basis for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory based on estimated future usage and sales. The likelihood of any material inventory write-downs is dependent on changes in competitive conditions, new product introductions by us or our competitors, or rapid changes in customer demand.
(3) Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. We use assumptions in establishing the carrying value, fair value and estimated lives of our long-lived assets and goodwill. The criteria used for these evaluations include management’s estimate of the asset’s continuing ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods compared to the carrying value of the asset, as well as the strategic significance of any identifiable intangible asset in our business objectives. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Useful lives and related amortization or depreciation expense are based on our estimate of the period that the assets will generate revenues or otherwise be used by us.
Factors that would influence the likelihood of a material change in our reported results include significant changes in the asset’s ability to generate positive cash flow, loss of legal ownership or title to the asset, a significant decline in the economic and competitive environment on which the asset depends, significant changes in our strategic business objectives, utilization of the asset, and a significant change in the economic and/or political conditions in certain countries.
- 37 -
Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates, continued
(4) Valuation of Deferred Income Taxes. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The likelihood of a material change in our expected realization of these assets is dependent on future taxable income, the intrinsic value of stock options, our ability to deduct tax loss carry forwards against future taxable income, the effectiveness of our tax planning and strategies among the various tax jurisdictions that we operate in, and any significant changes in the tax treatment received on our business combinations.
(5) Provision for Warranty. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The amount of this provision is determined by using a financial model, which takes into consideration actual, historical expenses and potential risks associated with our different products. This financial model is then used to calculate the future probable expenses related to warranty and the required level of the warranty provision. Although we engage in product improvement programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and costs incurred to correct those product failures. Should actual product failure rates or estimated costs to repair those product failures differ from our estimates, revisions to our estimated warranty provision would be required.
(6) Revenue Recognition. Revenue on product sales is recorded at the time of shipment, at which time title transfers to the customer. Revenue on product sales, which require customer acceptance, is not recorded until acceptance is received. Royalty revenue from license agreements is recorded when earned. Service revenue received in advance from service contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service contract. Revenue received in advance from rental unit contracts is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue from sale of marketing and distribution rights is initially deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the life of the contract. Freight charges billed to customers are included in revenue. All freight-related expenses are charged to cost of sales.
We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products, other than returns for product defects or other warranty claims, nor do we recognize revenues if we offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or activities. As part of our sales processes we may provide upfront discounts for large orders, one time special pricing to support new product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price-breaks for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. In our domestic sales activities we use a number of manufacturer representatives to sell our products. These representatives are paid a direct commission on sales and act as an integral component of our domestic sales force. We do not sell our products to these representatives, and do not recognize revenue on such shipments. Our products are predominantly therapy-based equipment and require no installation. As such, we have no significant installation obligations.
- 38 -
Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates, Continued
(7) Stock-Based Compensation. In accordance with the modified prospective method of SFAS No. 123 (R), we measure the compensation of all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant. Such value is recognized as compensation expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results differ from our estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period the estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the type of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results may differ substantially from these estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The 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. FIN No. 48 requires recognition of tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007. We are assessing the potential impact that the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year Misstatements”, which requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB No. 108 is effective for our fiscal year 2007 annual financial statements. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have on our financial statements but do not expect the impact to be material.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2006, we are not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 3(a)(4)(ii) of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-K.

Foreign Currency Market Risk
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, although we transact business in various foreign currencies, including a number of major European currencies as well as the Australian dollar. We have significant foreign currency exposure through both our Australian manufacturing activities and international sales operations.
We have established a foreign currency hedging program using purchased currency options to hedge foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and manufacturing expenditures. The goal of this hedging program is to economically guarantee or lock in the exchange rates on our foreign currency exposures denominated in Euros and Australian dollars. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities, and firm commitments are partially offset by gains and losses on the hedging instruments. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The table below provides information in U.S. dollar equivalents on our foreign-currency-denominated financial assets by legal entity functional currency as at December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to risk associated with changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and debt.
At December 31, 2006, we maintain a short-term investment portfolio containing financial instruments that have original maturities of less than twelve months. These financial instruments, principally comprised of corporate obligations, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if interest rates increase.
At December 31, 2006, we had total long-term debt, including the current portion of those obligations, of $133.5 million. Of this debt, $132.9 million is at variable interest rates and $0.6 million is subject to fixed interest rates.
A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during the three months ended December 31, 2006, would not have had a material impact on pretax income. We have no interest rate hedging agreements.
- 41 -
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
