Diapulse Corporation of America (the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a Delaware corporation organized in 1957. The Registrant develops, manufactures and markets Diapulse Technology, a proprietary medical system which produces non-thermal pulsed high frequency, high peak power electromagnetic energy to treat post-operative edema and pain in acute and chronic wounds. It is used in hospitals, nursing facilities, outpatient clinics, physicians' practices and by prescription in patients' homes. A number of insurance companies reimburse for treatment. The Registrant has not significantly varied the product or its service rendered since the date of its Annual Report on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Suppliers - The Registrant purchases raw materials and component parts of its units from various suppliers of electronic products. A majority of the individual component parts of the Diapulse units are standard and available from many suppliers. Were the Registrant to change from its present suppliers for any reason, it believes that no significant difficulties would be experienced in the replacement of raw materials from other suppliers, and there would be no reduction in the quality or quantity of the material purchased.
Sales and customers - Until October 1987, the Registrant derived substantially all of its revenue from sales of the Diapulse and related parts to customers in foreign countries. Upon obtaining Food and Drug Administration approval to market Diapulse in the United States in October 1987, the Registrant began selling and renting the Diapulse nationally. The Registrant is not dependent upon any single customer, but sells and rents to numerous customers, the loss of any one of which would not have a significant adverse effect on the Registrant's results of operations. During 2005 and 2004, approximately 21 % and 47 %, respectively, of revenue was from rentals to patients covered through Medicare (See Note 2).
The Registrant rents and sells Diapulse units to hospitals, nursing homes and physicians, and rents its equipment to individuals covered by Medicare and private insurance companies whose claims have been assigned to the Registrant in various parts of the country. Payment has been received from private insurance and reimbursements have also been received from Medicare following administrative procedures.
Backlog - The Registrant has sufficient inventory of completed units and spare parts to manufacture additional units for the foreseeable future to fill orders as they arrive. Because orders are filled quickly, firm backlog at most points in time is not significant. Orders received by the Registrant are not seasonal and are routinely filled throughout the year.
Patents - The Registrant has patents whose rights thereunder expired in 1999. New patents (patents pending) have been applied for and issued in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Employees - The registrant has thirty-six full-time and part-time employees and commission sales representatives.
Forward-Looking Information - The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements made by the Company in its disclosures to the public. There is certain information contained herein in the Company's press releases and in oral statements made by authorized officers of the Company which are forward-looking statements, as defined by such Act. When used herein, in the Company's press releases and in such oral statements, the words "estimate", "project", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe", "plans", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Because such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
